[with no-one waiting to be painted or anything else to do, mikaela comes down to the bar immediately. she doesn't come with bonecrusher this time, sauntering in through the door, looking around like it's a normal human bar despite the massive size difference.
she smiles when she spots maccadam at the bar, lifting a hand to wave.]
[In a somewhat rare occurrence, the bar is completely empty. Not even a vehicon can be seen hanging around. Maccadam smiles at Mikaela as she comes in and walks over to pick her up and set her on the bar so that they can talk face-to-face.]
Hello! I'm so glad that you're here!
I'm sorry for springing this on you last minute, but I have absolute faith that you can perform this task!
Now, time to give you the tools for the job! I have not done this in tens of millions of years, but it is hard to forget ceremony.
Haha! No need for notes or anything of the like, you're going to know everything you need to know very shortly! Now, usually this ceremony would take hours and would be considered an enormous honour! But we don't have the time for that.
[He closes his eyes as though meditating. When he opens them again, the two of them are in a void filled with billions of fractured images and sounds. It surrounds them, pressing on them, trying to overwhelm them. But with one wave of a hand, Maccadam sends them away, and now they are standing on a massive glowing blue stone in black space, Mikaela getting her own platform so that she is head level with Maccadam.]
Mikaela, the power I am about to give you is an enormous responsibility. Many mortal beings have been crushed by it, destroyed by it. Very few minds are capable of perceiving everything and nothing at the same time. Which is why I will only be giving you the smallest amount of my power that I can give. It will grow, in time, if you want it to grow.
In order to guide you through the weeks ahead, I present to you the ability of Sight.
[He holds out a hand to her, and a tiny orb appears on his palm before zipping it's way to hover in front of her.]
With this you will be able to feel the past, the present, and the future. Visions will come to you of things that may or may not come to pass. Accept this gift, and be my Priestess, my acolyte. For I am Alchemist Prime, the Seer of all things.
[He bows his head to her.]
And I foresee that there are things that you can do that I cannot, Mikaela Banes. That your own strength and wisdom will be important in the days to come.
[she's careful to stay still, to entirely take in what is happening before her. big win for the resistance to take her phone out and record it. it takes her a moment to parse what's happening, even when the orb hovers before her, even when macaddam speaks his true name and ability.
there is almost no hesitation when she takes the orb, not looking for power but rather perspective and wanting to be able to understand and help.]
I'm honoured. Enormously. [her tone is a little uncertain, but it's from not knowing if she's saying the right thing after such a serious spiel rather than being uncertain with maccadam. mikaela belatedly wonders if he had seen that she would take it gladly.
if only she could see the future when she'd worked retail.] I promise I'll do what I can to fill your role while you're gone.
[after a little pause, she realises she should probably bow back, and does. little stiffly, but with no less meaning.]

It's no problem. Is everything okay with you? [she tilts her head.] I'm ready. Got my tablet for notes and everything.
