[Video/Action for Violet City] Sept 20th

Oh my!

[Ming is down by the water in Violet City, looking very cheerful and flushed. Her Lapras is visible in the water behind her.]

I feel particularly wonderful this afternoon! Violet City's just lovely, really, we've been having a delightful time! Except for my Hoothoot, but I don't think he's ever happy. I acquired him accidentally - I tried to set him free, but he wouldn't go! He didn't even like the aerial show. One would imagine he'd enjoy that.

But I'm feeling terribly social. I haven't the faintest idea what's come over me!

[Violet City's locally made 'grape juice' is what's come over her.]

Oh! Tell me about your adventures in this world? I'd love to hear them. I adore a good adventure!

[...as someone who works where that 'grape juice' is locally made, oh no.]

Um, pardon me, miss... You're okay, right?

[She definitely seems okay, but maybe a little too okay.]

Utterly and entirely so! Perhaps a bit...hmm. It's difficult to describe. I think it's hunger or one of those mortal needs. My head feels...like there's a sick bee under my skin....

[...Miss, what the heck.]

But a...good sick bee. [His usual need to investigate the odd not-mortal/human is on pause for the moment.] Are you with anyone here? Just in case you need me to get ahold of somebody.

I think so? It's a tingling sensation. I've never felt anything quite like it!

[In her thousand years of existence, Ming has drunk alcohol all of twice. A single drink each time.]

Oh, I see my companion headed my way! But I assure you, I'm in no need of assistance!

[He can't fully stifle that sigh of relief, even if he tries.]

Good... Um, I'll still be here, if you don't mind. My name is Emil.

[He didn't have much experience with people who'd been drinking, but he figures having someone around is always a good idea, no matter how fine you were.]

Oh yes, please do! It's such a lovely afternoon to be by the water. I keep forgetting it won't listen to me here!

[Ming simply waves an assurance that's she's comfortable and settled making a new friend. Which currently is a much more appealing prospect than it usually is. Maybe she'll stop forgetting her magical energy is useless here, and not turn to the water every so often to gesture and hum uselessly.]

I'm Ming, Ming Numara. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Emil.

Edited 2015-09-24 15:07 (UTC)

You as well, Ms. Ming.

[He hesitates a moment longer, then sits down by the water's edge, slipping of his shoes and socks so he can dip his feet in.]

You can control water? That's, um... I think Henry called that Anima magic? How does it work for you?

Oh, I'm made of magic. Usually. I don't know what I'm made of right now!

[Currently, that brings a laugh from her. But in all fairness, she's only ever vaguely sure of what she even is in the first place.]

I can control all the elements, water's simply what calls strongest to my heart. I live by the sea, back home. I've never heard of 'anima'.

[The blindfold doesn't seem to hinder him as he turns his head to look at her. Made of magic...? Hmn.]

Skin, bones, and muscles, mostly. [Because she doesn't seem too bothered, his tone is light, carefree.] Were you always that way? Or was there something before your body was magic?

[Emil's feet lightly kick beneath the surface as he nods.]

I never did either, before he told me. I guess it's all different between worlds. And I used to live by the sea, too! Or...near the city that was by the sea, anyway. Sometimes I could still smell it on the breeze, if I went outside... It was nice.

[Ming only nods, apparently not finding anything at all about her current conversation companion to be the least bit strange.]

Oh, I've long had a body made of flesh and blood, but a body's simply a shell. That essence that is me is purely magic. In my first world, my native world, I didn't have a body of any sort at all! Only I don't remember it. But I think the Shining World is gone now, anyway.

[What must it have been like, to be pure, sentient magical energy? What had her home world truly been like? She supposes she'll never know. Oh well.]

Oh how wonderful! My capital city is right on the shore. I can't be happy without the view of waves out my windows, I'm afraid.

So like your soul... I think it's sort of the same. I mean, you're still you, you know? I guess I don't know if it's a different kind of magic or what, really, but...

[Gosh, and she's forgotten things, too. He feels a little bad though, questioning her like this when she's talking so easily. He'd have to make sure to speak with her another time and make sure it's okay to keep going with that conversation.]

Every city I've been to here so far has had water by them, haven't they? That's good, even if they must all be really small in comparison. I hope it keeps that up, for you.

That's a perfectly fine way of putting it. In the world I call my home now, the one I've chosen as my own, I'm considered some sort of deity. But it's only that I have great power most mortals don't and come from a realm considered holy by those who know it only in half-true stories.

[Jansen had once asked, when well in his cups, whether she was an angel or an alien. She'd only been able to shrug unhelpfully.]

Your world has magic, I assume? And oh yes, the amount of water's just wonderful. Kotone enjoys it, as well.

Huh... But that still makes you sound really important! I'm sorry if I've said anything disrespectful!

[His experience with the King was not enough apparently. :( Gotta get better at dealing with these important people.]

It does... But it's not exactly a normal thing there. I can use magic, and so can my friends, but all of us are kind of...weird. A lot of people don't know how to deal with it. [Even if a lot of it came naturally to him, learning about it wasn't easy.] Kotone is...your pokemon?

Oh goodness no, you've said nothing of the sort! I simply mean it's odd, isn't it, how people's reaction to magical abilities all depends on their context?

[Which, she realizes, is rather exactly what the young man is saying himself. She nods emphatically.]

In some parts of my world, it's the same. People don't understand. Oh, yes! Kotone is my Lapras. It mean's the sound of a harp's song.

Ah...yes. And that's another thing I really like about this world. I can meet other people who can use magic! It's not the same as the magic I use, but it's still nice.

[Emil smiles, going back to wiggling his tones underneath the water.]

That's really pretty... Do you like music?

I've met a handful of others! Magic will always be different, in different worlds. Those that have accessible magical energy, anyhow. Oh, I wish Sarah were here, she's an expert on all of this kind of thing.

[Even if her explanations were sometimes impossible to decipher - Sarah is an odd one. But utterly brilliant, and the only one of them left who remembers their original world.]

Oh I adore it! I play stringed instruments, the harp is my favorite! I miss it terribly.
