Asajj shouted at the sudden and unexpected intrusion; in confusion, rage, maybe the tiniest bit of fear. She didn’t like people in her personal space at the best of times, nor was she particularly fond of surprises, “What the fuck is wrong with you?? Get off!”

“what’s wrong with you?” magenta repeated as she rolled off. it wasn’t really a question the way asajj’s probably was. she had a tendency to ask questions she didn’t know how to answer with the same question. like if someone asked where she’d been she’d usually say ‘where have you been?’

FOR THE AESTHETIC

p u r p l e; often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic. too much purple brings out qualities of irritability, impatience, and arrogance. magenta is a shade of purple and the fact that entrapta wears and surrounds herself with purple was part of the inspiration for the name change choice.

scorpia: I need to find Entrapta, she’s gonna need me. Has anyone seen her?

*giant nearby explosion*

scorpia: It’s okay, I’ve found her.

as per usual, magenta was making her way across the lights of the library. it wasn’t new to her to travel above everyone else; the normal ways meant people and people were unnecessary distractions. the less she had to interact, the better. however, she suddenly became distracted by someone talking about fission reactors somewhere nearby and missed her step, causing her to come tumbling down into asajj’s lap.

Jack raised an eyebrow at her. “Well that depends, what kind of hypothetical explosion are we talking about? Is everything on fire? Because then hypothetically I would just freeze it. But if everything is destroyed and burnt to a crisp, I don’t know what to tell you.”

“nope, no fire... this time,” she mumbled that last part. “it was more of a fizz, fizz, burst, splat, boom! kind of explosion.... hypothetically.” she suddenly became distracted. “if you freeze the fire does it freeze in the shape of the fire or just put out the fire?”

now marshall was too curious. “okay drop the hypothetical crap. i need to see just what kind of mess can’t be cleaned with a magic mop. what so we have to do? open up a black hole to get rid of it? another dimension to suck it up?” what was someone like her experimenting on anyway. “leave a note saying someone else did it. then i’ll tell people we were out somewhere else as your alibi.” 

magenta’s eyes widened slightly when she realized he’d figured her out. she was about to answer when he started talking about black holes and other dimensions. then she remembered that he’d done something that sounded a lot like that at her social experiment on her birthday and was temporarily distracted. she slapped herself to recalibrate her focus. “they’ll know it was me, it’s always me.” her eyebrows furrowed. “but i wasn’t somewhere else. i don’t have an alibi.”

Henry looked over to Magenta, while she was fixing her goggles. “In this quote on quote hypothetical situation, did you think about what would happen after you blew it up?” Henry asked, trying to think about if he read any books on spells and if there was an all-in-one spell she could. Sad truth was Henry was drawing a blank to anything that had to do with spells. “No……Nothing I can think of right now, however if you give me a little bit, I can probably find one if you want to join.” Henry chuckled at a thought in his mind on blaming it on dragons as some can bring destruction with them. 

“the experiment wasn’t to blow it up,” she rolled her eyes as though that were completely obvious. “it was just the outcome..... hypothetically.” magenta closed one eye as she looked at him. “how long is a little bit? hypothetically i don’t have all day, especially if i hypothetically wanted to get back to my experiment.” her face scrunched in confusion at his random chuckle.

“Oh, umm…probably safer to do them separately?” At least, that’s how dad always did it whenever her sister set something on fire back home. And given the soot all covering the other girl’s face, it felt like a pretty safe bet there was nothing hypothetical about the situation. Not that Ruby was in any position to judge. She’d never blown up a whole room, but she’d definitely cost herself and a classmate their eyebrows a couple years back, “But…maybe just get a janitor…”

magenta pondered the idea of what exactly a janitor could do that magenta couldn’t, but to ruby it probably looked like she was staring at her with a blank expression. magenta was like a computer, processing but in the meantime one might be concerned it was frozen. and the best way to fix that was always a good smack. which magenta usually administered to herself. “possibly, but i would need to watch the janitor to see what they do so i can do it myself next time.....” she looked around. “any idea where we might find a janitor?”

Catra: Why are you yelling?!

Entrapta: sCIENCE!!!

chelsea took one look at magenta and another at the lab seemingly behind them both and raised a brow in thought, finger tapping against her chin once then twice. ‘ hmm ! well , it’s not ideal and i can’t say i know a spell to clean up an explosion but i can help you with hiding it . a little glamour to keep the professors at bay , no ? ‘

“if we use a glamour spell, the mess will still be there and i won’t be able to work.” magenta’s voice sounded far more matter-of-factly than she meant it to but that was just how she was. she knew she was smarter than everyone else and has never quite grasped the concept of being less condescending about it.

Scorpia: Entrapta are you in the ceiling again?

Entrapta, from within the ceiling: no.

        ever since magenta’s party, all rachel could think about was the many times she’s denied the existence of magic. because she was sure all she had to drink was soda and she didn’t take anything before coming over. looking over at the other who looked like they’ve been through hell ( perhaps even, literal hell ) the words ‘magic’ and ‘spells’ didn’t seem so .. surprising. “maybe one by one would be better. it’ll be easier to pinpoint which ones would work and which one wouldn’t. like watching someone prepare a dish and you can see which ingredients go in and you can zero in on an ingredient you may not be so sure about.”

magenta wasn’t sure why rachel was talking about cooking at a time like this. it had very little to do with the topic and magenta was already too easily distracted to allow someone else to make it worse. "we’re not talking about cooking, i don’t need ingredients i need to fix my hypothetical mess. i know i’m more advanced but try to keep up.”

“mops clean stuff, that is what they are supposed to do.” he said to the girl who was making this explosion seen much less hypothetical. even though he wasn’t very convinced from the beginning. “you’re the one asking about cleaning spells.” he said shrugging. “if it were me i’d just leave it like it didn’t happen. other people are paid to clean it up and then you have more time to do other stuff.” 

magenta let out a snort. “mops can’t clean this- hypothetically.” his logic was pretty sound except for one minor detail but in order to explain that, she’d have to come clean. “so this is not the first time i have hypothetically blown up a lab. they’re going to know it was me. and i can’t do any experiments until the hypothetical mess is cleaned up.... hypothetically.”

GASP!  Finally, the moment Dot’s been waiting all her life for: A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT HERSELF!  “First off, it works like this!”  It’s hard to describe what happens next so I’ll just say this: Dot is now invisible, and she can still talk and breathe and all that stuff so it’s perfectly fine!  “What I do is turn myself invisible!  There’s no spell or anything, it just… happens!  That’s why I’m here, kinda- I wanna figure out everything about it and then—”  Another second goes by and she’s visible again.  “Figure out how to turn it off only when I want it to turn off!  It only lasts five seconds at a time!”

“well none of that was incredibly scientific but-” she started talking a mile a minute rather incoherently into her recorder as she floated around dot in a circle. “i could run some tests. how do you feel about being a live subject? i’m going to need samples and to monitor your sleep patterns and maybe an ekg... i’m sure i could steal- i mean borrow one from the lab...”

distracted with her guitar as she experimented with chords for a new song, sloane’s ears didn’t perk up until her roommate uttered the words “blew. up.” setting down the instrument immediately, she swung her legs over the sofa and leaned forward, raising one perfectly manicured eyebrow at the girl in question. “come again?” sloane couldn’t decide if this outlandish hypothetical scenario was purely for magenta’s research, and she hadn’t actually blown up a science lab, or if she should be expecting a knock on their door from campus security soon. “you know spellcasting isn’t my forte, gent. but i’m sure if we crack open one of these textbooks we could figure it out… want me to help?”

magenta didn’t repeat herself. she knew sloane well enough to know that she’d definitely heard her and this was more a question of disbelief. having friends was weird. “textbooks?” she scrunched her nose. she hated those dusty things she used to hold things up with. computers were much more her speed. “how about you check the textbooks and i will check the interwebs. the more data the better!”

Jane had been toiling over a design for an assignment on her tablet, the end of the stylus tapping against her dark lips, her even darker brow furrowed in concentration. It should come as no surprise, then, that Jane would show mild annoyance at the rather bubbly individual who bounded up to her. She seemed like a fun and femme mad scientist, though, which kept Jane from being too perturbed at the intrusion. “Ooh…See, I’m not sure you should be doing anything to fix it if if you blew it up, Einstein. Might just make it worse.” she remarked, sucking in air through her teeth for emphasis, “You could probably find a freshman to blame it on if your conscience could handle passing the buck.”

magenta was caught off guard momentarily at being called einstein. oblivious to the fact that jane was most likely using it as a jab, gen took it as a compliment. a flattering one at that. to her, being compared to einstein was to magenta what being told they were gorgeous was to most girls. “why would i give someone else credit for my scientific advancements?”
