[Today's adventure is less of a fiesta and more of a siesta.]

[Namely, one thoroughly-exhausted Zatanna can be found at the Library. Pouring over texts as if she were in danger of failing MarinaNova 101. The journals are old. The writing in them mostly by hand. She has a notebook of her own off to one side, filled with scribbles and diagrams and anything else she could think of. Most of them magic, though there were a few other symbols drawn in there as well. Such as distinctive "R"s, and lightning bolts and other insignias of her friends. Her and home.]

[If one is fortunate enough to catch her before noon, she might even still be conscious. Either mindlessly doodling or browsing one of the shelves. Otherwise...any passer-bys will find the fourteen year old passed out over the texts.]

[She wasn't quite expecting the rape mention, and her eyes very visibly widened. But otherwise, Zatanna maintained her composure throughout the explanation.]

I--uh...well, yeah. I mean, sometimes. [Taking a moment to collect her thoughts, she inhales once before trying again.] Not...you know...the same way you were talking about.

Back where I'm from, there's this special kind of metal that's resistant to magic. But it's not common on my home planet; the only reason we even know about it is because there's a couple from the world it comes from lives there now.

Although, here, the Wardens also apparently have the ability to take away your power as punishment. You're familiar with those stupid collars, I assume?

[He nods silently, not commenting on the reaction. It's not a pretty thing, and it's been tried on too many people he cares about lately.]

This metal, does it create some sort of aura to negate your magic entirely, or is it just limited to preventing craft from being used on anything made out of it?

I'm aware of them, yes. Utterly barbaric, as far as I'm concerned.

	As far as I know, the second one. But depending upon how it's used, it could at least partially negate entire spells. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is it possible they are using it here in some way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's possible. But I still have access to my magic, for the most part. And that wouldn't explain how it could affect other people's abilities--my other friends from home aren't affected by it the way I am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Back to square one, then. I suppose its reasonable to assume if our powers are so different from each other theirs can be equally alien and unpredictable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thus, the research. (Reply to this) (Parent)
