Weekend 5...?


WEEKEND 5 LOG
Weather: Clear skies all weekend


On Saturday, there’s nothing new or unusual. It seems like the wish granting has been put on hold, and your efforts can continue to go towards progressing the island more. With the museum, Able Sisters, the entertainment area, the garden and more, the amount of development Isle Sonrisa has gone through is crystal clear when you compare it to your first week here.

All seems to be normal. That is, until you decide to fall asleep.

Whenever you begin to dream, your dreams are very vivid and reminiscent of the time you all dreamt about your homes. This time, however, you see your fellow islanders around you. Everyone may look confused, trying to figure out where they are. And that’s entirely fair, because where you are now is a little different from the island you’re used to.

That power you felt earlier in the week feels strong, too. It feels natural. And when you channel your energy…

Those of you who had powers originally will feel them start to manifest. Every ability you had is coming back. They seem a little...dampened, though, like they aren’t the full extent of what you could do before. Those who did not have abilities before will start to feel in tune with whatever’s on their person, whether it be a shovel, a bug net, even a stack of apples… You’ll be able to use them in ways you couldn’t have before.

And maybe you’ll learn how to use that new ability soon, because someone is waiting on top of one of the ledges, staring down at all of you. And he is staring very, very intensely at you. A moment passes, and then he hops down...and swings his net at the nearest person.

Strangely, if the target is you, it doesn’t hurt. You feel the boink land, but it doesn’t hurt at all. Should you choose to retaliate, no matter what you do, the boy does not seem to be in pain either. Now’s the time to experiment with your newfound (or returning) abilities. Mess around with the environment, or go ham on one another! The strangest thing is that you will feel your energy draining the more you use your powers -- which is to be expected -- but the pain never really settles in.

Furthermore, there are no injuries or blood. In fact, every punch, every kick, every impact looks cartoonish!

The last notable thing is for Joonghyuk. If he looks up at the sky at any given moment, he’ll specifically see a shooting star fly across the sky. The wish to have strength is going a little haywire, but it’s certainly something, isn’t it?

As for Sunday, well… It’s worth mentioning that those abilities aren’t just a dream after all. In fact, you feel as though you can use them in real life, too, with the same effect -- the environment can be altered (for instance: super strength means you might be able to lift a tree with your bare hands, with some work) but there are no injuries or pain when you use them on others! … But the strange boy from that dream is nowhere to be found. Huh. Wonder what that was about...

You're a lot like Y'shtola, then. She was a conjurer when I met her, but lately she's taken to real powerful offensive black magic.

[Scintilla decided to sit down next to her, legs swinging.]

Ain't got no talent for it, myself. Can manipulate aether fine, of course, but actual magic's difficult for some.

Is that so? What kinds of things can she do?

[Nobody's use of black magic was ever quite the same, after all. She nods in response to the last bit, though.]

Some people don't quite have the aptitude for it... but admittedly, in a lot of cases, I've noticed they don't exactly need it.

Oh, all kinds of things. Don't know much in detail of black magic and thaumaturgy myself, but she's real scary in a fight now that Urianger's taken over healing instead of her. [Her tail swayed idly before wrapping loose around her waist.] Most of the folks I travel with specialize in magic in some form or another. Me, I'm a ninja; still manipulates aether and all, but it ain't quite 'magic' in the way a caster would use it.

No? How do you use it, then?

[She's curious!]

Can't really do it quite right here, but it's just channelin' aether more directly. Like this.

[She brought her hands to her chest and made two quick signs with them, then looked out to the space beyond the platform and huffed out a small burst of flame.]
