While the sports(?) bottle is a small step, at least she is not (yet) drinking straight from the wine bottle :{
Is it cold in here?:

I don't remember exactly what was in Yay's coming out speech yielding to Aurelia's mom powers. It couldn't have included all of Yay's powers -- that would have taken too long.
So, what are we here for if not to overanalyze a joke? Imagine starting with a LEO communication satellite and tracking its deorbit maneuver in real time, controlling its RCS to stay on a planned trajectory. I have no idea how much precision you could get. At a guess it would be less than an ICBM, which is carefully designed for precision. A typical ICBM has a CEP of 150-200 meters and even the ones that are allegedly 10 meters or less are not precise enough to land on a person. So, then, Yay must have been kidding.

I mean, it's impossible to make everyone in a room fall asleep by snapping your fingers as well. So.

I agree, it feels like Yay's intent is to get smile out of Aurelia, or at least distract her. And it's not like the strip hasn't joked about orbital bombardment before...
