Fifth Flake [video/action for Goldenrod/4th Wall]

[defyingfrigidity]

[When Elsa woke up today, she had known something was... different. There was a feeling inside of her that she hasn't felt in months now, a feeling she thought she'd never miss as badly as she did; the familiar him of magic was buzzing under her skin for the first time since she arrived in this land, and instead of dreading that feeling... Elsa smiles. Gathering her things, and without waiting up for Anna, she leaves the Pokemon Center, heading to the north end of Goldenrod, where she knew a small park was, not far from the gates of the city.]

Alright... time to wake up, everyone. I've got something to show you!

[With a quick toss, Elsa releases her team - Snowball, Skadi, Freya, Frigga, Idunn, and Surtr. All of them look curious and eager at Elsa's words, and while Elsa sets her bag down and looks around to make sure that there's nobody in the immediate vicinity, Surtr grabs her pokegear and pokes at it until it turns on.]

Okay... ready?

[After a chorus of agreements from her pokemon, Elsa grins, takes a deep breath, and raises her arms.

For those watching in person, they might notice the weather dropping, even more from its already chilly state. And when snow suddenly appears surrounding Elsa and her little group, it might not seem like too much... except none of her ice-types are moving. In fact, they all look quite surprised.

With a flick of her wrists, Elsa commands the snow to swirl around her in a light flurry. Her smile brightens as another twist of her wrist sends the flurry outward, the flakes multiplying until the ground surrounding Elsa is covered in several inches of snow.

Elsa is grinning like a child now. Just one more test to see if she really does have control after this long... it takes a bit of focus, but she wills the snow to move and shape itself, to breathe, and before the eyes of her pokemon (and human) onlookers, an icy replica of a Charizard - not just a Charizard, but the strange new form Nova had taken in the battle against Archie - spreads its wings and lets out a roar as clear as the real thing..]

Even after all this time, after being so out of practice... I can still control it.

[She looks absolutely overjoyed. Like nothing in the world can bring down her good mood. And her pokemon sure seem to share her enthusiasm, judging by how most of them immediately leap into the little snow drifts surrounding them.]

[A few things Botan was not expecting today--

To run into Elsa or to experience a sudden drop in temperature.

It doesn't...scare her, no, Botan doesn't usually get ruffled by sudden changes, and besides--her little Smoochum looks so delighted by all the snow she can't be bothered by it. No, what actually surprises her is seeing Elsa control the flurry, even to shaping life in this manner, it's...

Awe-inspiring, really. She had no idea that the woman who expressed such concern for the little Phantump and shyly blushed at being called "adorable" commanded all that power, so effortlessly.

Well...no, it certainly couldn't have been without effort. A clue that this might be why she seems to wracked with anxiety occurs to her.

And that she's been standing too long and just staring at the whole thing instead of saying hi, rude Botan.]

That's...that's incredible. [Elsa was human, she was sure of this, but power like that was comparable to the ice maidens of the Demon World.] You're amazing, Elsa.

[It seems to be that people love sneaking up on Elsa today. That's fine, because while she's still surprised at the sudden voice, it's not as bad as it was before. Or... maybe it is. But not in a negative way. Elsa just looks quite surprised because oh, this is a voice she knew!

So she turns, looking a little flustered at the compliment, and a little more flustered at the fact that it's the SAME PERSON that made her feel flustered like last time.]

Thank you. I wasn't sure if I could do something like this, after so long...

[styxiedust]

[Oh good, it's still the same shy, kind Elsa and she hasn't suddenly ~transformed~ into someone completely different.]

Well...I find that using your special abilities is a little like riding a bicycle, especially if you're born with them.

[Though she herself hasn't tested if her abilities have come back for today...and she'd rather not in front of Elsa. Someone falling over in a seemingly dead state might be unsettling.

Only might.]

I had no idea that you were an artist as well! Sawakou is rather enjoying your sculpture and the snow along with it. [She indicates the Smoochum who, yes, is playing in the snow very happily at this point.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[And Sawakou is welcomed most happily!! Most of Elsa's pokemon are of the timid sort, but Surtr and Snowball eagerly approach, with the snow-Nova flopping down and snuffling curiously at the Smoochum.]

An artist? Oh no, I'm nothing of the sort.

[Elsa Kristoff cried when he saw your ice palace. You are entirely too modest.]

I was never able to pursue such skills. I was too busy with my lessons and... well. [She motions to the snow around them.] Trying to figure out how to control this.
