[Video/Action for Violet City] Sept 20th

[eclipse_of_time]

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!

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?

[eclipse_of_time]

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.

[stonebones]

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.
