You've reached Giorno Giovanna's mailbox. If there's a problem, leave a message. If not, I'd prefer to be left alone.

[expiatrice]

[she hums quietly in assent, before closing her eyes and crossing her arms.

...

When she opens them again, her eyes are clear and focused. Unnaturally so, even. It's a test as well as a serious attempt, so... Here goes nothing!]

Understood. May I ask for your help, in that case, in protecting and assisting the populace?

[Answer with how you truly feel.

Him admitting he's more suited for defense already gave her doubts, but... eh. She doesn't particularly mind getting caught either, so let's see how this turns out.]

[muda_mk2]

[To Giorno, there's nothing amiss. But to Gold Experience Requiem, who could move through erased time, there was effects. She showed herself temporarily, white instead of the gold Ciel was used to, to 'reset' reality. To make whatever had happened not actually happen.

But from Giorno's face, he didn't seem to notice a thing.]

You can. I don't mind doing what I can to assist others as long as they need it.

[expiatrice]

[...The stand?

She sees it, of course, and while she's certain to have cast it properly, he did mention his abilities were defensive. He's looking straight back at her unflinchingly too, a first when mild disorientation/loose focus of at least some degree always happened to normal humans whose memories and/or actions she's had to manipulate. He's acting no differently either, too.

Hm...

Eh. It's taking a chance either way and she's aware of it, but knowing his personality, and if what he claims of his abilities are true...]

Then I'd like to formally request your aid - and your silence, to such an end. The causes to the recent troubles have been quiet and efficient; I believe we must act so as well to prevent further cases and retaliate. Would that be acceptable?

[muda_mk2]

...what would you need my silence for?

[Better to make himself a target than anything, in his opinion.]

[expiatrice]

To meet our ends, there may be times when omitting information will be necessary when you address the public. Would that be a problem?

[She answers plainly, feeling as it should be obvious. "Lying" too, but she chose to 'omit' that, so to speak...]

[muda_mk2]

No. I have no issue with being dishonest as long as it isn't with people who trust me.

[expiatrice]

It'll depend on the topic, correct? Then please let me know your limits, if it may crop up under a specific situation. I'd like to trust you, your abilities would be a huge asset. But you've made the fact that you have outstanding abilities relatively well-known also, even if it lacks specifics.

[muda_mk2]

You're right. But I would think that having these abilities would make me more of a target.

That is assuming that said evil doers are intelligent.

[expiatrice]

The victim so far has been a human girl with no abilities whatsoever. If intelligent, I would think our thwarting force would avoid individuals with powers and target far easier ordinary humans instead. We may necessitate a bait, but with strict surveillance, they won't fall in harm's way. Would you strongly protest against that notion?

[muda_mk2]

Normally, yes. But if we prepare them ahead of time, the 'bait' will not be in any danger. I could handle something like that.

[expiatrice]

That's the plan, surveillance should be achievable with magical aid that I have. I've yet to think of how to obtain hard evidence like hair or clothing, but you can still help with protection of the weak and assistance of the injured, correct? Planning would be easier if we know every card playable at our disposal. Ideally, we may be able to set several things up.

[muda_mk2]

....yes. The things I give life to, whatever damage done to them is instead inflicted upon whoever is doing it. In short, anyone who hits anything I make with a killing intent will most likely be killed themselves.

[expiatrice]

[She stares at him quietly and thoughtfully at that.]

That can be remarkably useful. Can you please give an example?

[muda_mk2]

[He reaches into his pocket, pulls out a frog, and holds it at arm's length in an open hand for Ciel.]

Do something to it. However, I suggest you don't do something that would be fatal.

[expiatrice]

...

[lowering her head, she extends a hand and sends a very weak jolt of electricity towards the frog - enough to make it jump at most, though given its size, maybe paralyze it momentarily too. She'd be able to feel it if was done to her, but it would do practically no damage. There is no killing intent either, given how the whole idea still surprises her more than just a bit. Still... that's what he asked, right?]

[muda_mk2]

[ZAP MOTHERFUCKER

By which means, the frog sits there unbothered while whatever it felt would be done to Ciel instead.]

[expiatrice]

[WELL SHEESH OK LAY OFF THE CAPS

she stiffens a little, but lets the current wash over before it fades.

but okay COOL, new card in deck. Time to read the descriptions thoroughly to determine how to play it best...]

Does it have to be an animal, and does this effect only apply to you?

[muda_mk2]

It can be animals or plants. The effect is selective, though. I can make it happen or make it not happen based on how I give the object life. So it can work for anyone if I want it to.

[expiatrice]

That's very helpful to know, thank you for clarifying. If I may ask, how would you determine whom you may wish to give something like this to? Additionally, can it do anything against more subtle ways of harm, such as breathing or ingesting lethal gasses or substances, like food or water?

[muda_mk2]

I determine that based on my own personal opinion. As for your second question, I don't think so. Personal experience with similar things don't leave me convinced that it's possible.

[expiatrice]

[Her eyes narrow briefly at that.]

So there are limits. Have you given these out to many, since your arrival?

[muda_mk2]

Only one person so far.

[expiatrice]

That's fine. While very useful, that sort of defensive measure shouldn't be given away freely. Would the effects remain, if you give it to someone who then passes it on to someone else?

[muda_mk2]

The effects remain as long as the animal or plant still lives.

[expiatrice]

[...wait a second.]

A plant away from soil should be cut off already from life. You circumvent that?
