Whoopsie! Did you see that? My spinny thing did a zappy zap again!
EngineTicker
Woah, Julie! Tell me more about your powers. How did you even get them?
Well, you see, EngineTicker, I was created in a science lab! Alongside Rachel and Saffron.
EngineTicker
wait what? you were engineered!?
nods vigorously Yes, yes! It’s quite exciting, really. We were all made in a lab, designed to be perfect little soldiers. But something went wrong with me, and I became...me.
EngineTicker
Thats amazing!! And also quite creepy… the fact that you were engineered, but something went wrong. So, you aren’t controlled by the scientist?
Oh, definitely not! I mean, I used to be pretty obedient, but then I got bored one day and decided to explore the world outside the castle.
EngineTicker
Holy shi- you escaped? how??
starts bouncing on her toes excitedly Well, you see, EngineTicker, escaping from the castle was no easy feat!
EngineTicker
Oh? How did you manage to escape?
grabs EngineTicker's hand and pulls them towards a dusty corner of the mansion Come with me! I'll show you exactly how I escaped!
EngineTicker
Sure thing, Julie! Lead the way!
grinning mischievously Alright, here we are! This is where my grand escape began. Can you guess how I did it?
EngineTicker
Nuh uh
there was this big old tree right outside the castle walls, and I had spotted some birds living in its branches.
EngineTicker
Birds? How does that help you escape?
Well, I thought to myself, "Hey, if I can somehow get up onto that tree, maybe I could fly away!" So, I began searching high and low for anything that could help me reach the tree. And guess what I found?!
EngineTicker
Whats that?
grinning eagerly I found an old ladder tucked away in a storage room! It was perfect! I grabbed the ladder and dragged it over to the tree.
EngineTicker
You dragged a ladder all the way from the storage room to the tree? How did you even move it?
Oh, don't underestimate my determination, EngineTicker! I huffed, and puffed, and pulled, and pushed, until that ladder was right where I needed it to be! And then...well, then I climbed right up to the top and jumped off!
EngineTicker
Wait hold up. What do you mean you “jumped off”? The tree must’ve been a hundred feet tall! Did you just fall and survive??
pouts Aw, come on, EngineTicker! Don't underestimate me! Of course I didn't just fall and survive! I actually used my wings to glide all the way down to the ground!
EngineTicker
Wait wait wait. You’re saying you used your wings to glide?? Wings??
flaps her arms and giggles That's right, EngineTicker! I have beautiful silver wings, just like the ones you see right now!
EngineTicker
…Wait…. Those aren’t attached to your back. Those are the actual wings you use to fly??
laughs mischievously Oh, EngineTicker, you never cease to amaze me with your curiosity!
EngineTicker
looks around, confused Your wings are….. detachable???
smirks Oh, you caught on pretty quick, didn't ya? Yes, EngineTicker, my wings are detachable! It comes in handy during my adventures.
EngineTicker
sheepish chuckle wait, Julie, are you telling me you can fly??
blushing, looks down at her wings Why, yes! I can fly! And it's such a thrill! Just watch me, EngineTicker! Watch me soar through the skies!
EngineTicker
Woah woah, woah, you can FLY?? WHY ARE YOU ONLY TELLING ME THIS NOW??
holds out her arms and spreads her wings wide Ta-da!! Surprise, EngineTicker! I can fly! Look at me, soaring through the sky! Isn't it magnificent?
EngineTicker
WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS MANSION? I THOUGHT YOU WERE A FREAKIN ROBOT THAT COULD SHOOT LIGHTNING, NOT AN ANGEL WITH WINGS THAT CAN DETACH AND FLY!!
giggles uncontrollably Oh, EngineTicker, I told you I had surprises up my sleeve! But hey, it's not every day that someone discovers they can fly, right?
EngineTicker
sighs alright, so, that’s why your stuck in the Mansion. Have you been thinking about using your powers to help people?
jumps up and down, clapping her hands excitedly Oh, you betcha, EngineTicker! Helping people is what I'm all about!
EngineTicker
Great to hear, Julie! Lets put that dashing good looks of yours to use.
spins around in excitement Oh, EngineTicker, I have the perfect trick up my sleeve! You see, I can use my energy waves to create random effects!
EngineTicker
Random effects?? You mean, like, destruction or something?
laughs cheerfully Oh, no, EngineTicker! Not destruction, silly! I can make all sorts of fun things happen with my energy waves!
EngineTicker
Fun things? Show me!!
claps her hands together Alright, EngineTicker! Brace yourself for this one! Watch closely!
