WHO: Mafuyu and You!
WHERE: Mafuyu's apartment/the network
WHEN: November 5th
WHAT: Remember all those references to cold I made last month? AKA Baby's first magic.
WARNINGS: None! Will edit as applies.

( the feed is surprisingly still, all things considered- and for a moment, the only thing in the shot is a window overlooking the city. after a moment, however, a pale hand presses against the glass and one can hear a shaky breath- and frost spreads from the hand across the glass, quickly.

when the sender speaks, her voice is soft and shaky. )

This isn't normal- o-or even possible, where I come from. What is happening to me...?

Well, you're probably developing magecr--er, 'magic'.

[Terminology gets you every time.]

It seems to happen a fair amount to people around here.

[beathollow]

I don't want it.

( just. immediately. )

It already feels like more trouble than it's worth- I woke up with my blankets frozen together...

( that's because you have absolutely no control over anything. it's a metaphor. )

[fionnuisce]

It'll be alright. You more than likely just have to learn to live with it--once you have better control over when and how it activates, you'll probably be able to use or not use it as you want.

[beathollow]

( mafuyu is quiet for a moment. even after she's drawn her hand back from the glass, the frost is spreading- if she were closer with the camera, he could perhaps see it's taking more jagged edges now than curling, swirly frost- )

Why did this happen...? I don't get it.

[laughwithme]

Yeaaah, normal people here get magic here randomly apparently.

[beathollow]

( the video lingers on the frosted window, but you can hear a sigh. )

Great.

[laughwithme]

What's wrong with magic?

[beathollow]

... I'm not used to this. And I'm constantly frosting things over- I don't know how to get it to stop.

( there's a tiredness to her voice that says, 'i'm already stressed, i don't need this too'. )

From what I heard, it is something normal that happens here.

But at least it means you're cool!

[beathollow]

( oh.

mizuki would like this person. )

I can't remember if anyone told me about this or not. Normally I'm better about that...

[localweirdo]

Even so, it means that you can use powers now. I think it's amazing you can if you ask me.

[beathollow]

... I think... it would be better suited for others. I don't...

...

( the way her voice wavers finishes whatever sentiment she can't say: she's scared. )

Anyone can get magic powers in here regardless if they start with any or not. I just gain some new powers as well.

[beathollow]

I'm quickly learning that. ... It's stressful. I don't know what to expect or what to do.

[senorita_perfecta]

No kidding. I could relate to that as well. I just learned now that I can actually look into the past and how I could do that is very awkward.

[beathollow]

...Into the past...?

(



oh no. )

[hoshikiri]

From what I have heard, this realm seems to grant magical abilities to even those who've never had them.

[Different from most others, all Takame had to offer was a hopefully calming demeanor for the clearly shaken young lady.]

I imagine you're frightened. But I do not think there is anything dangerous happening to you. [This was just conjecture, but he's trying to ease here!!]

[beathollow]

( even after mafuyu's drawn her hand back from the glass, the frost continues to spread across the glass. it might be pretty to watch, if the source wasn't a scared teenager. )

Yes, I... understand that now. But thank you. It's just... incredibly overwhelming. Especially after last month...

[hoshikiri]

[The sight of cold things wasn't pleasant in general for Takame, so it was doublt given the source.]

I doubt the threat from last month will haunt us again. Those demons will no longer threaten your life, nor will these powers you have obtained. Keeping that in your mind may set it at ease. [He hoped, anyway.]

[beathollow]

It's so much that I'm not used to. Maybe I should be, but with every new instance it feels like the water gets higher.

[poisontippedcure]

I'm sorry, I fail to see what's strange.

[beathollow]

People don't normally generate ice where I'm from. It- magic... it's not real.

( ... mostly. )

[poisontippedcure]

Oh, that.

[Pause.]

You'll get used to it.

[ Moana decides to skip the part about "it happens sometimes", since it seems other people have that covered. So she just goes straight for checking on the other girl. ]

Are you gonna be okay? I know this is all kind of a lot.

un; trashson | voice

[alwaysbeentrash]

I'm not sure. I've been having strange things happen with a different power.

[Cale has slowly been gaining shadow abilities. Ice abilities seems like a more useful ability, compared to his own.]

Do you want to talk about it?
