" You could ask someone here if they are a psychologist, Jacob. It wouldn't hurt, Jacob," Rhea said.
Jacob looks at Rhea and sighs. " Fine, you have a point you damn hallucination, Jacob looks around. Hey, who here is a psychologist?" Jacob said.

Xia stared at the man who was screaming at thin air and shouting about a hallucination. At least the Dragon was placid when fed; this guy was a lunatic. She recognized him from the prison and wondered what he did to end up there. She could have asked, but that would require talking to him and...
"I need more beer," she mumbled before getting up to grab as many as she could carry.
It took a few seconds shy of a full minute, before Arx realized it was her name that had spilled out of the fog lamp's mouth... already going to regret giving that out.
Before she'd even had a chance to turn however, he'd already started asking his questions. Something something "magovorus"; something something "magical towel". Didn't take much to infer that he was asking whether or not she could eat them to sustain herself. Fair enough.
"I mean sure." Arx replied with a flick of the tail.
Leaning forward, she sniffed the towel. Bit stale, but in a pinch? "Not much for nutrition, but magic is magic." Of course she wouldn't quite care for the taste. A magical towel is a towel, and a... is that a spoon?
"I'd rather not eat that." She pointed at the spoon. "Even if it is full of magic."
Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

"I realize that these are pretty bad examples," Lucifer said as he picked up both the spork and towel and withdrew the light from both- reducing the former to what it was before he first picked it up and reducing the latter to nothing. "Unfortunately, there hasn't exactly been a lot of time since I've come around after a certain Witch used you to ram me straight into the rafters to come up with something better."
~Well, something better that wouldn't also fry the room and at least some of the people in it.~
"Based on how well you seemed to take what was supposed to have been an attempt to kill the other Witch, I'd guess that just doing that would do more for you than these minor tricks- and simply directly sending the magic to you would do even more still. But the knowledge that either of those could work is enough to get started on a couple of projects. Thank you."

Selma blinked as she felt the grip of a gun in her hand. She turned to look and saw a large-caliber revolver in her hand. Lifting it, she looked it over, turning it as she inspected it. She'd been considering pre-emptively taking out the lizard with a gun, but it'd barely taken a few seconds for her magic to create the gun while half-concentrating, when before it took nearly a minute of firm concentration to make a gun. Opening the barrel, she blinked as she saw that it was fully-loaded.
'I guess my ability to transfigure has gotten stronger.' Selma thought, before turning to where Arx had gone, a thoughtful look on her face.
'Should I do it, and protect us from the creature who has made her intention to eat us if she desires quite clear? I mean, going by her thinking, its like a herd of gazelle allowing a lion to stick around without doing something to get rid of it.' Selma wondered, looking at the gun currently sitting in her hand.
'Though I may need more weapons to do it. Perhaps some powerful explosives or chemical weapons... or both.' Selma considered thoughtfully.
Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

"Credit where it's due." Arx said. "That one was smart." A bit stronger than she was now at the moment, too. A problem for later.
"But yes, I eat all types of magic. It's just easier, and more filling, when I'm getting it straight from the source. Which, to be specific, is in the muscles and organs of Witches." There was just something about the conversion process that made the taste... divine. Almost as good as a fresh Mascot.
"Anyways."
With that, Arx walked off.

Pssht--!!!
Kinu, who kept her oddly relaxed eyes on the simmering situation in the room, took a long sip of her third.
"...yep..."
Absentmindedly, Kinu reached behind her, and found a row of chitinous, angled legs. Huh. Don't remember getting those outta the kitchen. When'd those get here?
Casting her eyes to the grill fire, very little remained but the burned, scabby pieces of chicken that clung to the grating. Could swear there was more...eh whatever. Guess we need more food.
Grabbing a leg by the joint, she began to try and twist it off...

"So..." She began, softly, yet her voice rose to audible levels from her hiding place, "If they had not taken your "Papa", you would have left us to our fates?"
The lingering resentment of being "saved" as an afterthought still stung, compounded with the sense of failing to save her own family.
"...And for those of us without homes? Those who can't continue our lives as easily as the others? What of us? Do you already assume we'll be so eager to join your ranks?"
The room was silent a moment.
"......I won't make excuses......I don't have any.....Our cause is at best, a dream. The elimination of ruin, a world where people aren't confined to cities......I have nothing to offer that says all of this will be worth it in the end." En paused. "But....I want to believe in a far away dream more then a convenient lie.....one that breeds inaction and subservience to the Administratum. Too many people have died, in A9 and here...to many homes lost...that it should be brushed under the rug as another example of why the admins are infallible and falling to ruin is the fault of humans and not their inability, or willingness, to do anything about it."
"So no....I don't have proof. Proof is what we're out here to find.....until then....I only have hope..."
"....Huh....sorry.....I couldn't hear you over the glass shattering ring in my ears." Ange poke a finger in one ear and holding the box firm with her other hand. "Must still have a bit of glass in their from getting suckerpunched then dropped through a roof..." Ange fumed, then sighed. "Then again.....I was suckered punched because I was bowing.....****....." She let the box go. "Fine.....but fair warning, I will find find an excuse at some point to test if you can take as much as you give..."
