The explanation of the cartoon physics that now ruled over Pax, the fact that the magic wasn't exactly automatic and some part of it had to be directly enforced by Dan, the spell demonstration from the spider, the continued cooperation of GEMINI and Maverick... [i]Wait, what?[/i] Jack blinked and turned her head sharply in the direction of Iris and Ashley. Alright, she knew she'd been out of the loop in the city for a while and was lagging behind in general information surrounding this event and those that directly preceded it (she certainly hadn't had anything close to a clear picture when she'd decided to enter the city), but the two long time rival factions working together was something she'd never have expected. It was almost more surprising to her than the whole forced beach thing. Scratch that, it actually was more surprising. 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' and all that, but seriously? [color=gold]"GEMINI and Maverick, working together, for real?"[/color] she said, one incredulous laugh bubbling up alongside the words. [color=gold]"I guess since you can't kill each other right now there's nothing for it, huh? Damn."[/color] Her tone dipped just slightly at the end, as if the notion was a shame. Jack briefly wondered what Pax's political esper landscape looked like now, if this wasn't even the first time the two factions had worked together. Were freelancers getting less work, without the two groups having to tip-toe around each other? Well it hardly mattered right now anyway, Jack guessed. And she was never one to think in depth about those kind of topics for long anyway. If she was, her thought process was interrupted at that point by another beach ball colliding with Jack's head, this time unintentionally on the golden eyed esper's part. It pinged off the side of her temple and flew up, drawing her attention back towards Bionca and the girl with the draconic horns. Her gaze lingered briefly on Rika eyes squinted behind the lens of her sunglasses. [color=gold]"...didn't count!"[/color] she then said, very maturely. Her eyes dropped to the box of balls, the only spot that had displayed any reaction to the anti-illusion filter. Whatever was in there, it was still pretty obscured by the beach balls. Just how many were in there?! [color=gold]"Hey, clear that thing out would you?"[/color] he called to Rika and Bionca, pointing at the crate. [color=gold]"Chuck 'em all, really get this party started!"[/color] She was already making her way over while she said that, happy to wage some beach ball-related war, take over the makeshift fort, and upend the box herself if she had to.
