Eighteenth Link

[colorbymemory]

[Namine is wearing her new clothes, sketching a sketch...of her staff. She looks fairly intent on her work until she happens to glance up and notice Cambot recording. Smiling slightly, she closes the sketchbook and picks up said staff.]

Does anyone else have one of these? I've seen people who know magic use something like it, but we can't use magic here, right? Unless that changed and we didn't know it.

[If they can use magic, and she's supposed to use it now, she'll need to start learning quickly.]

[wavesinherheart]

[Aqua's staff looks a good deal different, but that's perhaps to be expected given that her new clothes are also significantly different.]

I know we can't normally use magic. I don't know about right now.

[colorbymemory]

[They are quite different, but look nice on her.]

Then maybe we should try to see if we can? Though...I never really learned.

[wavesinherheart]

I suppose it couldn't hurt to try. Ah... and I can try to teach you.

[colorbymemory]

You're sure? Roxas offered, too. Maybe we could practice together?

[wavesinherheart]

Ah, I suppose we could. I'm not sure if the different robes mean anything though.

[colorbymemory]

I'm not sure about that either, but we can at least try?

[wavesinherheart]

Right. It's the least we can do.

[colorbymemory]

[Just this face. Lots of relief and happiness about friends who will help.]

Right.

[thirteenth_brat]

With the random stuff this satellite can throw at us sometimes, I wouldn't be surprised if we could suddenly use magic. Although... I wouldn't expect any of us to have our normal abilities.

[colorbymemory]

No, I wouldn't either.

[Nor would she want some of her normal abilities back.]

It'd be nice to try it for just a little while, though.

[thirteenth_brat]

[Well that's... got him thinking now. It's kind of random and he's not sure he knows why he's suddenly making this offer, but...]

You know, we do get our normal abilities back when we go somewhere with that time machine. Would you want to try to learn how to use regular magic?

[He's not sure how good of a teacher he could be, but he's got the basics well enough that he could probably teach them, if she's interested.]

[colorbymemory]

[She hadn't thought of that, but the idea is appealing.]

You're sure you don't mind?

[thirteenth_brat]

Not at all. It might even be fun.

[colorbymemory]

It might be.

Do you think Aqua could practice with us?

[thirteenth_brat]

I don't see why not.

[colorbymemory]

Great. Thank you.

[thirteenth_brat]

No problem.

[crafty_punk]

Magic, huh? ...weird. Like a wizard or somethin'?

[colorbymemory]

I guess so. Though it wasn't just wizards that could use it where I'm from.

[crafty_punk]

Huh. Magic was... kinda weird where I came from.

[colorbymemory]

Really? What was it like?

[crafty_punk]

Well, only certain people could use it. And only in a certain place.

[colorbymemory]

[That's news to her.]

It sounds like there are a lot more rules about it where you're from.

[crafty_punk]

Like I said, it's kinda weird. See... There was this whole other world with shadows and shi...tuff. We could really only use our abilities when we were in the shadow world.

[colorbymemory]

[That makes her think of the Realm of Darkness, for some reason, so pardon the slightly serious expression.]

Did it have a name?

[crafty_punk]

The Midnight Channel. We all just kinda called it the TV world, tho'.

[colorbymemory]

So it was a world inside a television?

[Not something she's heard of before, but then again she's heard of a world inside a book...]

[crafty_punk]

Yeah. ...maybe I can tell you more about it sometime. There's... parts I don't really like sharin' with everybody.

[colorbymemory]

[She can understand that.]

Okay. Sometime when Cambot's not recording, then.

[crafty_punk]

Sounds like a plan.

[sailormagic]

[Twi is still pony-shaped and everything, but now she looks much more wizardly.]

I believe we can, now. Watch.

[And she closes her eyes, her horn starts to glow - and a fireball appears in front of her and zips off to "attack" something that isn't there.]

It doesn't seem to be what I learned in Equestria, though. Some of the spells have similar effects, but they're not cast in the same way.

[colorbymemory]

[That is a great wiardly outfit.]

That looks like one of the spells I've seen. I guess our worlds have different kinds of magic?

[saint_sami]

[And it looks like Sasami ended up with the same type of outfit as Namine.]

This goes way beyond what I've seen before...!

[colorbymemory]

[White mages unite?]

I've never seen anything like it, either.
