[Neovereign]

>Nod.
>"Then let's do it!"

> Marisa holds her hands out.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Hand her a pair matched pair of mushrooms.

[Neovereign]

>Hand her a pair matched pair of mushrooms.

> You place a pair in Marisa's hands.
> "Here we go again." Marisa quickly gobbles up the mushrooms.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Give her a little room, and observe!

[Neovereign]

>Give her a little room, and observe!

> You back up a bit and watch.
> Marisa begins to flash as before.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"How does it feel?"
>Continue to observe.

[Neovereign]

>"How does it feel?"
>Continue to observe.

> "Just like last time." Marisa says.
> Marisa's form changes, and that glorious witch appears once again.
> You think she might be a bit bigger than before.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Compare her height to our current one.
>"You seem a bit taller than last time."

[Neovereign]

>Compare her height to our current one.
>"You seem a bit taller than last time."

> Marisa is still shorter than you. She's about near chest height.
> "Yes, there's a few differences already..." Marisa says.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh, what else?" I say. "Geez...you have to be close to nine feet tall!"

[Neovereign]

>"Oh, what else?" I say. "Geez...you have to be close to nine feet tall!"

> "Feels like I have more magic than last time. And stronger as well. I'm really itching to fire something off you know."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Gesture toward the sky. "Well then, by all means."

[Neovereign]

>Gesture toward the sky. "Well then, by all means."

> Marisa nods, retrieving her mini-hakkero.
> She aims it towards the sky and closes her eyes.
> The device begins to glow.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Give her plenty of room.

[Neovereign]

>Give her plenty of room.

> You back up more.
> A large laser is fired, rougly the size of a master spark, if not greater.
> It cuts a clean path through the air, seemingly erasing what's in it's way.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"...Was that actually a Master Spark?"

[Neovereign]

>"...Was that actually a Master Spark?"

> "No. Still something great though." Marisa says, admiring her work. She seems a bit shorter now.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, it seems to have drained something from you."
>Quietly hold a hand at her current head level to emphasize her diminishing.
>Try to estimate how much she shrank.

[Neovereign]

>"Well, it seems to have drained something from you."
>Quietly hold a hand at her current head level to emphasize her diminishing.
>Try to estimate how much she shrank.

> "Really?" Marisa inquires.
> You check her-...
> Ah, she hadn't shrunken. Rather, she's lodged into the ground a bit.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Look down, then laugh. "My mistake! Are you stuck?"

[Neovereign]

>Look down, then laugh. "My mistake! Are you stuck?"

> "Stuck?" Marisa looks down. "Ah... Actually, let me try something else now..."
> Marisa bends and holds her hakkero as if looking into it as it glows.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Observe. We trust her, for the most part. Since we've opened some distance, anyways.

[Neovereign]

>Observe. We trust her, for the most part. Since we've opened some distance, anyways.

> You watch...
> Marisa blasts herself with another laser. It seemed significantly weaker than before however.
> She hardly appears scathed at all after it dissipates.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Feel anything?"

[Neovereign]

>"Feel anything?"

> "Not much. These are incredible."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Grin.
>"Tell me about it. Have you noticed anything else? Anything new or notable?"

[Neovereign]

>Grin.
>"Tell me about it. Have you noticed anything else? Anything new or notable?"

> "I'm much stronger... I feel greater... This- mm... Feels wonderful."
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Chuckle. "You certainly look the part! Try lifting something heavy?"

[Neovereign]

>Chuckle. "You certainly look the part! Try lifting something heavy?"

> Marisa smirks and lifts her chest slightly.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, that certainly counts. But I meant more like a log or boulder, with your arm strength."
