[It should be no surprise that there hasn't been much out of Shinmyoumaru since she first arrived. When the rest of the people around her are dozens of times taller then her, she is easy to overlook. Since she'd arrived she'd taken up residence in a rather ignoble palace compared to the one she left behind; a literal birdhouse. Thankfully the birds left her alone after the first time she was forced to chase them away! But for some reason the tiny girl had chosen to address the people around her today. She sat on the porch of her 'house', bare feet dangling over the edge.]

A..ahem. I suppose most of you don't know me. I mean, some of you. A few of you came to help me the first night I showed up awhile ago. Um...thanks for that. I really mean it. There aren't a lot of people that care about me, so it was nice to meet some good ones right away. But for those of you I did not meet that night, my name is Shinmyoumaru Sukuna, and I am an inchling.

[Her face takes on as serious an expression as she can manage. It is still hard for her to look serious with that cutesy little face, though.]

But I need some help again. The help of someone that knows a lot about magic and magical stuff! I have a particular magical item in my possession. Its supposed to recharge after being used, but it seems to be recharging really, really, really slowly here. I haven't been able to use it once since I arrived!

[Otherwise she might not be stuck living in a birdhouse.]

So...umm..I was wondering if there was anyone that could maybe give it a little jolt? I mean, I'm not asking for a handout, I can give you something for your help. Almost anything really, as long as you're not asking to take over the world or something dumb like that.

[For some reason her face frowns for a moment. Just a moment, but long enough to be noticeable.]

[Action!]

[The mallet is tiny. He has to peer closer and squint at it. It hardly looks very powerful to him. She might be lying or insane for all he knows. But, hey, what else did he have to do right now and it wouldn't cost him anything - although he would rather it paid him something.]

You'd better give it to me. If you're holding it, you might be injured and I'm sure somebody would be unhappy about that.

[Not that he cares overly much for her safety but he doesn't know much about magic and as she said she'll need to use the Mallet herself to get it to work. He holds out his gloved hand, palm up, close to her. It's a fingerless brown glove so the tips of his blue fingers can be seen protruding from it.]

[At the very least SHE would care, it is her body after all. If she didn't take care of herself, who would? As for the mallet, it was very much a tiny piece of work. It was surprisingly well made, though. Average human strength would find it difficult to damage, no normal person would just crush it in their hands. At the very least whoever made it did a good job.

There is an ever so brief moment of hesitation before the girl in the bowl lays it onto one of the alien's hands. Despite that tiny, brief bit of distrust, she still wears a smile as she leans back into her bowl.]

So, if it does work, what sort of thing would you want? Just remember, if you want something really big, its gonna take a really big amount of power.

[And there's also the other 'cost' associated with it, the one she can't even talk about because it does something different every time.]

[cadbane]

Let's figure that out after we see if this works.

[He closes his hand over the mallet, presses a button on his arm's gauntlet and there's a spark of blue energy briefly wrapped around his hand, like a controlled streak of lightning. It vanishes after a moment and he opens his hand again, moving it close enough so she can take it back. It may not have any real effect since the power wasn't magical; more like giving something a jolt of electricity.]

[bowlprincess]

[Maybe it worked, maybe it did not. Either way, the display seemed to be impressive to the little thing. Technology in general was sort of an anomaly to her, the world she called home was run by sorcery, not science. She actually is momentarily hesitant to even touch the mallet afterwards. It was a pretty scary display to see a hand that could easily wrap around her show off so much power! But its only a moment before her little hand lifts it up.]

Hmmm. It doesn't really FEEL any different...I guess there's only one way to find out!

[She floats her bowl away a short distance, holding the mallet over her head.]

Miracle Mallet! Make me big again!

[Its as dramatic as she can manage, but there doesn't seem to be any power flowing through it. The look on her face becomes more and more disappointed when she remains tiny.]

...Guess it didn't work.

[She sets the 'miraculous' item down, and floats back over. She does her best to put on a smile, it might even be noticeable if one were to look close enough.]

But that isn't your fault. We didn't really know if it was gonna work, anyway.

[cadbane]

Sure. It's a shame but we never know until we try.

[Disappointing, yes, but he supposed it didn't really cost him anything so he couldn't complain.]

What will you do now?
