Pleased to meet you. Now, what trick is your > best?" Marvin simply stares in bewilderment. Cajava has long blonde hair and green eyes. She looks like a girl that Famifax might transform into for fun. Marvin responds after a moment of admiration, "None of my tricks compare to yours!" He then leans forward and whispers into Cajava's ear, "From one magician to another, how do you do it?" "Do what?" Cajava asks, rinsing the lower half of her shirt, annoyed that every time she comes into the world, she feels like she's in a wet t-shirt contest. "Oh, you mean the transformation? I don't know. It just happens when I get wet." Marvin considers saying something rude to the young lady, but thinks otherwise. "That's... interesting...to say the least." "So magic man, what are you going to do? Saw me into bits?" Cajava laughs, making chopping motions with her hand, "I'm not afraid! Just try me! Sick me in a big ol' box and dice me up good, I won't flinch!" Marvin furrows his brow, and mumbles loud enough for Cajava to hear, "I dunno. You see, I usually only saw girls..." "Only girls? What am I? Chopped liver?!" Cajava growls, about ready to slap Marvin for questioning her sexuality. Marvin backs away with his hands raised to imply peace, "Don't get me wrong, Cajava... If you want me to saw you in half, I will. I can even make a variation in the performance considering your... you know... your... quirk!" Feeling no embarrassment, Cajava leaps onto the stage outside Marvin's caravan and rises her arms up high, soaking in all the applause from the crowd. Blob, his Ditto, leaps up next to him and raises his tiny limbs, "Ditto!!!" Marvin walks back into his multi-colored caravan to prepare his props for the impromptu illusion, while Cajava entertains the crowd. About five minutes after entering, Marvin walks out of his caravan, pulling a long horizontal purple box with small yellow stars on it that a girl can lay down in. Two wide blades hang from the sides. Marvin adjusts his bow tie and addresses the gathering audience with a loudspeaker, "I, Marvin the Magnificent, will attempt to saw this... girl in half!" "Attempt?" Cajava narrows one eye at the magician, wondering if he's qualified. Marvin sweatdrops at Cajava's question, "Oh, I meant I *will* saw this girl in half! There's no doubt about that." Cajava wipes her forehead, relieved. "The tricky part is putting her back together!" Marvin shouts into the loudspeaker, smirking at his own lame humor. He puts the loudspeaker down, and whispers to Cajava, "Now I'd like you to go into the caravan, pick out what you think is a nice assistant's dress from the multiple options on the racks, without shoes for sawing purposes, come back here, flourish, and step in the box!" Marvin pats Cajava on the back, "Do you think you can handle that? I'll take it from there." -Marvin
