Oh. Sorry then.

Oh. Well, it's hard to tell if someone is joking over the internet. At least for me it is.

Yeah, but I didn't actually leave, now did I? I did for good this time though.

Uh...when did I ever leave the BA before?

Then it does~ It's your turn now. ^_^

Welcome to my thought process~ XD

Well, let's roll along and see how it goes. ^_^;

Alrighty, then~ By the way, how long shall we make this fight last until we move on to the story portion of Jennifer x Silly? =3

Ask, and thou shalt receive. It's your turn. ^_^

(Slightly surprised you didn't have Jennifer detect the real Silly via thermal imaging, but - hey - whatever works for you~)

Technically, yes. The basic working theory behind Diamond Dust is that it's a medium for the metaphysical manipulation of energy...or, more specifically, light (although it's not strictly confined to light), which the illusions themselves are largely based on. As light is a form of energy, yes, it displaces heat, so thermal imaging would detect the decoys too. Mind you, the manipulation isn't perfect, so detection of the illusions via thermal technology is most certainly possible and plausible, but due to the general "ambiance" of Diamond Dust's area of influence (as the molecules all manipulate energy, making the area something like a thermal "fog"), as well as the nature of the illusions, it is not necessarily always easy to tell a decoy from the real deal in a fleeting glance, nevermind a combat situation.

Hopefully this explains a thing or two. But, yes, in short, by all means, go ahead and detect the real Silly with thermal imaging~ Will the real Silly Diamant please light up~ XD

Possible, but difficult; the difference would probably be notable under scrutiny due to the discrepancy in the amount of light-energy displacement, but I imagine this may be a bit difficult in a fast-paced battle. Not to mention, technically, the entire area Diamond Dust affects would have an increased thermal reading in general. Certainly doable, though~ X3
