"Okay, what did you break now?" Bunfire called, his floppy-eared head appearing around the corner. In the lounge, Spatula sat typing at a terminal, Diggory was asleep, huddled on the sofa.
"The economy was like that when I got here!" she called out, flinching and hiding what she was looking at on the screen. Bunfire gave her a puzzled look. Not because he didn't believe she could break an entire economy by accident or that the local economy was destined to collapse; it was just that her Aura of Defeat was supposed to break all weapons in the area and he wasn't sure how an economy could conceivably be classified as a weapon. She could have been telling the truth, he supposed; still, she looked pretty suspicious.
Then he felt something trickling around his foot and realised what she was actually trying to distract him from.
"Why's the floor wet and sticky?" he demanded.
"It was Diggory who randomly threw a can of soda at me."
"I tripped over and my grip slipped, okay?" he muttered from inside the cushion he was trying to shove his face into. He hadn't been asleep, Bunfire realised, but actually quite injured. The wrath of a certain Goddess, no doubt.
"My aura activated on its own, Diggory, it doesn't that with complete accidents."
"Then... then someone made me trip!" he insisted, "I only see one person around here can do stuff like that!"
Spatula suddenly looked serious, "Actually, a lot of malicious entities can mess around with probability and coincidences. They tend to also be invincible. If you've got some sort of trickster spirit running loose in here, or worse, a virus..."
Seconds after she said the word, the alarm began to wail and the 'Digital Security Violation' notice flashed red on the screen.
