Mari's silence is kinda calculated.

It's not like she knows much about this kind of magicspecifically, but magic and science usually mimic each other so closely they're basically the same thing. Metaphysical science is still science. Magic is still energy and shit. So you'd think she'd be running her mouth already.

But so far she's been oddly willing to keep her mouth shut and take it in.

... she's not really the best at home security. And she's been the cause of its collapse once.

So with that in mind, her track record isn't good. It makes her pretty reluctant to speak. But Joker's protest raises too many red flags.

"That's our job, Joker." Her eyes--all of them--narrow. Most of them only remain that way for a second, though; only the ones on her face remain so. "The enemy already made the first move. You don't quit a chess game after moving--or losing--one pawn."

She crosses two mismatched arms. The other massive one rests on her hip. The last touches her glasses, pushing them up a bit.

"Blowing it up, not blowing it up, that part doesn't matter right now!" Although she's always behind any plan that involves exploding a problem. But that's not the point! "The game's already started, right? Pawn to E4. The really stupid thing would be to sit here with our thumbs up our asses until the timer runs out."
