6 ✶ video/action ✶ fourth wall

[walkersystem]

... 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! ... oh, well ... Molly grimaces faintly and closes her book and crosses her legs so she's leaning forward a bit.]}

Kind of.

You're from Manhattan? ... we're in a different world. I think you'll go home soon, probably. But you could be here a while too.

[action!]

[Oh, that makes Maxine realize it's kind of rude to be standing over this girl she's talking to! She sits down across from her, drawing her knees up.]

A different world, really? I've never been to a different world, but a friend of mine came from one. Or maybe it was more of a different universe. Either way, I guess going to a different world isn't really a stretch, is it? Not that I know how I got here. You're sure I'll go home soon?

[Oh! And this is important:]

I'm Maxine, by the way. Or Cyclone, if you like that better.

[action!]

[walkersystem]

_{[Wow you're just a flurry of words aren't you. Molly's visibly trying to keep up, but it's with a hint of a smile.]}

Cyclone? Is that like a nickname?

I'm Molly.

[action!]

[windwitch]

[She sees it, she knows. She's been told to talk less so many times-- it's just hard.]

It's kind of like a nickname! It's like my secret identity, but it's not really very secret. Cyclone is my superhero name!

Molly's a nice name! I don't think I know any other 'Molly's but probably there were some in my classes.

[action!]

[walkersystem]

_{[HOLD UP.]}

Wait, you're a superhero?

Do you have powers and stuff?

[action!]

[windwitch]

[BEAMING. She is so proud you don't even know.]

Yeah, I do! I have aerokinesis. Which is like controlling the air. Or I don't have it exactly, it's not like I was born with it, but I can do it anyway because of-- well, it's kind of a long story but basically because of technology! So I guess it's not exactly a power, but it's unique to me anyway, so I think it sort of counts?

[Wait, let's demonstrate! The wind picks up around her, spinning around her and lifting her into the air.]

Like this! See?
