6 ✶ video/action ✶ fourth wall

... did everybody get their powers back?

[A video that's short and sweet and shows cautious excitement, but also a trace of fear.]

It's not another dream, right?

[Action anywhere: Guess who REALLY LIKES HAVING HER POWER BACK? It's Molly. She's gonna be leaning back against a tree with her knees drawn up and her Johto and Kanto map books against her legs, flipping through and marking stuff that follows some kind of logic that's not immediately apparent.]

[That is, when she's not just looking around somewhat anxiously - she's confident she'll find her way back since she can see people again, but she still doesn't like the shifting world all that much. It's unpredictable. She could end up anywhere, and she does; the shifting routes can lead you pretty stray even when you're just trying to get back to Goldenrod.]

Oh, of course. I was going to my tutor's house, in the woods.

[...]

I'm learning magic, I'll have you know.

That's not what I meant.

_{[Or that's what she's starting to say, anyway, but she does get interested enough by the not-quite topic change.]}

... you have an ability? What kind?

Bother, I'm sorry, I must've misheard. I thought you asked where I was going before I was here! I ought to pay better attention; my grandfather always says it's important to listen to other people, because you'll almost certainly learn something.

[And apparently someone has taught him to offer an apology when it's warranted. What good manners.]

As for the magic — I can work a few spells, if that's what you mean.

_{[What good kind of rambly manners. That's a lengthier excuse than Molly's used to hearing, so it takes her a second to process it, and then she just kind of nods and accepts it and thereby lets it go.]}

What kind of spells?

Well, um. Ah! Here, I'll show you.

[He turns eagerly toward his Fennekin, extending his hands and mumbling under his breath.

And it's wobbly and haphazard, but gradually, the fox does indeed begin to float a handful of inches off the ground.]

There, see!

Oh, wow ...

_{[She steps another step forward to see better, her Amaura watching the Fennekin with interest but also concern. U ok buddy? Just say no if floating isn't your thing.]

[Molly has a small smile about it, but there's something just a touch wary, too.]}

That's pretty cool.

Can you do other stuff too? That's just one spell, right?

Oh, yes, there are plenty of spells. My uncle can teleport and put people to sleep and understand the language of animals, and my grandfather can turn into a tiger.

[Brag brag brag.]

I think it should be very nice to understand the language of animals in a place like this.

[He lowers the Fennekin back down to the ground, then pushes up his sleeves and waves his hands a second time — this time producing a tiny cloud that begins to shower down a miniature flurry of snowflakes.]

_{[She reaches a hand out into the snowflakes, letting them melt on her skin. Jay performs a small Powder Snow to mimic the tiny cloud, creating a small ice flurry to compete with it. Molly smiles and pets him in encouagement.]}

I know people who can do things too, but they don't need spells.

_{[And this is where she puffs up a bit in turn, cause see? Just as awesome. If not better.]}

They can just do it. I know someone who reads minds, and who can make snow, too. And I can find people. But we can just do it.

Of course you just do it. All it takes is to learn how.

[...He doesn't get it.]

What do you mean, find people?

I think about them and I know where they are. I can see them in my head.

_{[And she's distinctly happy to get to put that in present tense right now. She's missed her power.]}

How very odd! That's rather like an oracle, isn't it? Seeing things in clear pools and all that.

_{[.. losing her a liiittle bit.]}

I don't need pools. Sometimes it helps if I have a map.
