[In the town of Blackgale, California ~~again~~ one teenage Korean American is sitting in the living room belonging to her mentor, the Emerald Witch. What is she doing this beautiful weekend?

Studying. Yawn. A bunch of magical tomes and spell books and a book on potion recipes are opened up around her along with sheets of notebook papers strewn around. Lucinda Chang, apprentice and heir of the Emerald Witch taps her chin with her right arm thoughtfully obviously drifting off from actually reading and getting any studying done...]

Okay so... I CAN make a computer appear out of nowhere, but it's not like it'll work. Oh, man I bet you could totally sell people fake computers made with magic and get a ton of money and--

Wait, that would get me arrested wouldn't it?

[Her right arm... Glows a bit. She blinks and examines said arm. She's been settling into the new arm nicely-- it looks the same, the outside feels the same and receives sensory details like her old arm did. But it seems to have picked up other tricks as well.]

Huh. Feels itchy all of a sudden. Wonder why?

[She shrugs and helps herself to a chocolate chip cookie. It's not like anything TOO weird was gonna happen immediately.]

[Lucinda grins, sensing that he is impressed]

The witch you're talking to is named Lucinda. Lucinda Chang, witch in training!

... [Looks at the holes in the roof] I guess I didn't need to tell you about the 'in training' part though. Makes it less impressive. [Gee, you think]

[Good, she's pleased, let's keep her that way so we can hopefully get out of here without footing the bill--]

Still not too shabby. And I bet it beats not being able to do it.

As for me, I'm a professional demon hunter. The name's Dante.

[... Wait, speaking of demons. Did she magic away his kill, too?]

Demon hunter huh? Never heard of those existing, but I suppose it'd true.

Speaking of which... Uh oh, where'd I put it?!

Good question! I'd really like to know, too, given how getting a paycheck kind of falls on me having that thing's head!

What'd you do with it?

I'm sorry! But you're the one with the flashy entrance and breaking into people's houses through the roof!

Oh, SHOOT it's going into the hallway! [And yes said demon has crawled away from the bickering duo]

Not good, not good, nooooot good!

Would you drop that already? I said it wasn't my fault!

[Oh there you are. Shoot? Don't mind if I do. Oh look! More holes for you to fix, Lucinda!]

[SQUEAKS]

Can you stop DOING that?! No guns! No more! And no sword either! [DEMON ESCAPING INTO THE HALLWAY TO HANG ONTO LIFE-- and Lucinda's running after it, oh dammit it's gotten pretty far]

Hey! No running in front of the guy shooting guns!

[ffffff Dammit, CHASING!]

And another thing, what would you prefer: holes in the wall, or a demon in your house?! There isn't really any other options, here!

[And the doesn't reply because the demon keeps going down the hallway... and said hallway seems to keep going on and on and on and on-- oh finally goes through an open door]

Oh, good it should get stuck in that room!

... I forgot what room that actually is, but all the same!

Oh, good, we don't have anything to worry about, then! Not like a demon can break down a wall or window or anything.

[SARCASM ASIDE, he'll be running for that door, Ebony and Ivory drawn. Hey, she didn't reply, and silence means consent!]

[Hey Dante, you're inside a LIBRARY! A very BIG library.

... huh that's not how physics work]

Seriously, no guns! I don't know if I could fix every single book by myself and my teacher is going to get really angry about this whole thing.

[We're sorry. The beefcake you have dialed cannot be reached. He's a little busy trying to remember if the house looked this big----OH LOOK signs of life!

Signs of life being him putting E & I away and getting his sword back out.]

... Fine. No guns. But I'm not gonna take any negotiations on the sword until we've caught that thing again.

Interesting place you've got here, kid.

It's Miss Steinbeck's place. She's had this house for a while, but I'm not sure how big she made it with magic.

[Quiet for now 8|a]

Does she take contracts? I'm not sayin' I want a library, but I could definitely think of a few... add-ons... it sounds like she could help me put into my shop.

[It always is. Demons watch first. Demons like to watch. Then they bust outta nowhere and stab you while you're trying to eat some pizza. They're jerks like that.]

Uh, I don't think she does stuff like that. I think. Not sure.

Tch. Figures. Still, you should look into doing that once you graduate or whatever witches call it.

Speaking of, got any lightning bolts or ice magic or something? Or are you just gonna kick back with some popcorn when we find it?

I didn't actually have a plan in mind, but it doesn't mean I won't help out! Beats studying any day! Let me see, maybe I can use my magic to... [Points her finger and a thin thread of silvery blue light circles around the library.]

This should lead us to that demon!

Woah. Not sure if I should be impressed, or call that cheating.

So with tricks like that, any particular reason I haven't seen many demon-hunting witches?

[Shrugs]

Beats me. I've only had about over half a year to get used to this witch thing.

So that's why you have magic string instead of mind bullets. Makes sense.

[Sort of twirling his sword as he follows the string. Don't get him wrong, this is fascinating, he's just annoyed that he didn't kill it properly.]

Got any other tricks?

Witches can do a whole bunch of things! Like basically, if we can think of it, it can happen, usually. There's some stuff we're not allowed to do of course.

What about you?

Doesn't sound too hard. Maybe I should see if I can't learn any magic; I'd save a fortune on pizza and milkshakes.

Oh, you know. Big sword, awesome guns, shrugging off six-foot-long slabs of metal to the chest, can beat demons to death with a motorcycle... The usual demon hunter gig. But seriously, what more do you need than this?

[Holding his arms out to the side so you can respect his MAJESTY. YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT CAN YOU.]

It's harder than it sounds trust me. Anyone can think up of what they want. Making it a reality is a whole different matter.

[Her face goes 'wat']

... Are all those true? I mean, the motorcycle part and the... Um.

You could say I've already got some experience with that. Just not the kind of "making it a reality" that works out of thin air.

[Ridiculous superhuman stunts literally made up on the spot? Sure. Making a pizza poof out of nowhere? He wishes.]

Oh yeah. I've got a really big sword. As for the whole getting stabbed thing... Let's just say I've got a business partner who likes to shoot me if I tick her off.

[And as far as I know, paint ball guns weren't around back then; they still had *jukeboxes* in nearly every building we saw in DMC3. ~~All two of them.~~]

... She SHOOTS you? And you're still ALIVE?

Isn't that like domestic violence?!
