"OH, MAN! SHE EVEN PUT IN THE SPANISH FLAG THAT GUY ON 4TH STREET HAS IN HIS WINDOW," growled the thunder above, the pitch of Jaida's tone setting Aaren's teeth buzzing in her jaw and her whole frame shaking with each syllable. "COOL... THIS IS PERFECT! I BET SHE WON'T MIND IF I USE THIS."

Suddenly, the light of day erupted into a dry, baking heat as Jaida swung Aaren's work lamp directly over the tiny district. Aaren could only stare in mute horror, torn between exasperated frustration and awestruck lust as Jaida's figure swamped the horizon in a wall of white cotton and warm skin. "OH, WHOOPS! SORRY, SUGARSPECK! DIDN'T SEE YOU DOWN THERE. I'M GOING TO USE THIS TONIGHT FOR OUR GAME OF 'MAZES AND MICROS,' DO YOU MIND? NOT THAT I CAN HEAR IF YOU DO, SO I'LL TAKE THAT! HAH... HEY, AAREN. ROLL FOR AGILITY!"

Jaida's hand tipped, blurred and rendered a bleary shape in the glowing sky, and cast from the heavens an apartment-sized meteor of red plastic that crashed into the pavement with a shattering crunch, rolling toward Aaren with chips and flecks of asphalt flying behind its murderous path. Aaren balled up her fists and prepared to scream blue murder up at the careless goofball, cursing Jaida's name under her breath... right until she was tucked away, invisible, beneath the curved wall of the colossal D20 as it rolled at last to a halt.

"WHOOPS! ...DID I GET YOU?"
