*Maggie nods at Cora's explanation, then turns to Luke* Alright . . .
*She closes her eyes in concentration. She's practiced enough that she's able to bring in small items with which she's familiar without too much trouble. She reaches her hand out, a plum flickering into existence just as she closes her fingers around it. She opens her eyes with a smile, only looking slightly pale from the effort this time, and then offers the fruit to Cora* Here . . . just dinna eat the hard part at the center of it.

:::Cora nods, taking the fruit:::
So the Seraphim tells me... :::She takes a bite, unafraid:::

*Watching, Luke felt his breath run short.* Holy s**t.
*He watches her hand it to Cora unceremoniously*
*His mind reeled forward a million thoughts ahead. If she could bring in a plum.....s**t, they could bring in guns, weapons, armies. Anything!*
*He was starting to see where Tavin was going with this....*

*Maggie's smile fades at the mention of the Seraphim, and she turns to Luke, more serious, to explain* 'Tis easiest for me te bring in small things such as that, things I've seen before. Tavin tells me, though, that I'm also able te bring in things I've ne'er seen before, so long as I can form a clear enough picture of it in my mind.

:::Cora nods to the both of them:::
The captain says that there is much to learn. And with adequite practice and training, we will be able to fight the Seraphim. Personally, I'm itching to learn a technique of my own. I feel like I'm wasting time just standing around, eating.
:::She goes to take a bite of the fruit, remembering the texture of the apple, she suspects something similar. When she bites down hard, she is met with a gush of juice:::
Ehh! :::keff::: aaw... Oh dear. Maggie! What is this?

Oh, 'tis a plum, Cora. *she explains, apologetically* 'Tis a different sort of fruit from an apple . . . softer, but the center is a very hard pit.

*Luke could think of a million things for Maggie to bring in, but it wasn't up to him.*
*So he checked first.*
You want me to describe something? So you can bring it in?

*Luke checks the recesses of his memory. Something simple... Something easy....*
*He sees it.*
Okay...It's the size of like a cantelope, or a water melon, but rounder.... It's orange, and its real sturdy. It's made out of rubber. You can bounce it up and down on the ground.
*He looks to Maggie, to see if she's okay.*

*Maggie's brow furrows in puzzlement* Watermelon . . ? *she closes her eyes, trying to form a mental image, but is only able to get a vague one so far. She opens her eyes to look at Luke again* Can ye tell me more about it?

*To that, Luke went into incredible discourse, describing in great detail the shape with his hands, the black lines that ran around it, the tiny bumps on the surface, and the purposes it was used for in 2002.*
There's a guy named Michael Jordan who loves this thing.

*Maggie closes her eyes again, deep in concentration. She tries to put Luke's description together in her mind, forming a clearer idea the more he tells her about it. Several minutes pass before she reaches her hands out to grasp something, a round orange shape flickering in and out before finally solidifying into the object Luke wanted - a basketball*
*Maggie opens her eyes as soon as she feels it there, but this time she goes completely pale, and wobbles briefly. She takes a slow breath to steady herself, and offers it to Luke, asking* . . . . is this right?

:::Cora watches with wide eyes as the object appears. She sees that it's taken a bit out of Maggie, so she quickly position's herself behind her, in case she needs the support:::
That was amazing Maggie. Are you ok...?

*Luke looks on, barely believing what his eyes are seeing.*
Yeah...... *He picks it up... It bounces and he catches it.*
*He grins to Maggie* Right on! That's....That's pheonmenal.
*Looks at the basketball, looks at Maggie*
Damn.

*She smiles broadly, albeit weakly, as Luke confirms that she got it right, and lets herself lean slightly against Cora, glad for the support*
I'm alright *she assures them* 'Twill get easier the more I practice . . .
