Eighth Flake [Fourth Wall][Video/Action for Olivine CIty]

[defyingfrigidity]

[It's snowing in Olivine City! Or, well. In an area of the beach a bit away from the city, that is. DETAILS. While not an odd sight if you're training a pokemon, the snow isn't coming from a pokemon; it's coming from the fair-haired young lady standing in the midst of the snowfall, arms sweeping back and forth as the flurries blow this way and that.

Most of her pokemon look on passively, having seen this display once before, months ago. But still they play! The ones who weren't around for the last show of Elsa's power are jumping about much more eagerly, rolling about in the drifts or happily snapping or swatting at the falling flakes.

Elsa herself, on the other hand, simply laughs and watches, flicking bits of snow at her companions every so often. She doesn't even seem to mind that Frigga grabbed her gear and is filming all of this right now.]

Perfect timing, isn't it? With how warm it's been, I'm glad I could help all of you cool off for a bit!

[She... honestly never thought of that before.]

I don't know... nobody else in my family had any sort of abilities like mine, and we're about as normal as royals can be. We don't really know how I came to be born with this magic.

[loveisanopendoor]

You're not just useful, you're the best!

[While the huge clump of snow might have lost a pair of legs, it looks like it just grew an arm, one that seems pretty set on grabbing Elsa and pulling her in!]

Come on in, the snow's great!

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Unfortunately for Anna, her searching hand isn't anywhere near Elsa. Fortunately for Anna, Elsa doesn't mind indulging her at all, and walks over to grab her hand, letting herself be pulled down with a laugh.]

If you were this desperate for relief, I could've asked Snowball or Skadi to help you out before today, you know...

[imperfectscientist]

I'd be the first? Wow, I'm honored! So, then, powers like yours aren't commonplace in your world?

Aww, geez, thanks. I still have a lot to learn about being trainer, but I hope I'll be good for her.

[friendyousohard]

An impressive display. This level of power rivals even the Princesses.

[Said the talking purple unicorn standing on top of the snowdrift.]

[loveisanopendoor]

[After a couple of tries wriggling around, she finally manages to hold onto Elsa on her own (or so she thinks!) and pull her into the snow with a satisfying plop~]

Oh, come now, I wouldn't wanna bother the poor guys! I mean, this heat's probably really not too great for an Ice-type..besides, if we get too used to keeping cool, we're never gonna get tan in the sun!

[defyingfrigidity]

You don't want to bother them, but you'll bother me? You wound me, thinking of them before me...

[Elsa laughs, and then shakes her head.]

Anna, I don't tan. I burn.

[loveisanopendoor]

Look, you're the one making the snow here! I'm just jumping on the opportunity!

And you only burn up because you don't put on the right amount of sunscreen! Once you spend enough time in the sun your skin will get used to it and you'll be golden!

[defyingfrigidity]

I'm pretty sure if I used enough sunscreen to protect me from the summer sun here, I'd end up a greasy mess. [She cringes slightly at the thought.] That doesn't sound all that appealing....

[paopuprincess]

You mean you're not a snow fairy or something? [She gives a joking grin.]

[loveisanopendoor]

Oh, please, if you rub it in enough I'm sure it won't be that bad. And I mean, it'd be a shame if you missed out on how great the water was because you were afraid of a little sunburn. We don't ever have this chance back home, after all!

[red_roses]

Then...maybe you have a destiny to fulfill, like in a manga!

[defyingfrigidity]

[She shakes her head.]

They aren't, no. There are legend and old stories that talk of magic, of course, and unfounded rumors throughout many kingdoms. But as far as I'm aware of, no other human has magic like mine.

[defyingfrigidity]

O-Of course not! I'm most certainly human, one hundred percent.

[defyingfrigidity]

I can still enjoy the beach! Some of the waterfront shops offer umbrellas to use, so we can just set one up wherever we put our things down.

[Just.... dodging the topic of water for now...]

[defyingfrigidity]

... What's a manga? Some sort of book?

[Oh, Elsa....]

N-No matter. I doubt i have something like that, waiting for me.

Her magic felt like too much of a curse, to feel like a key to some great destiny.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Uh.

Well. Okay. That's new. Please forgive Elsa if she stares for a minute, Twilight.]

The... Princesses?

[imperfectscientist]

Wow. That's...incredible, but it must not have felt that way. I imagine growing up was difficult, then, especially understanding your abilities if you had no one to teach you.

[friendyousohard]

Princesses Celestia and Luna. They control the movements of the sun and the moon, respectively, back in Equestria, and other than from them I've rarely seen the ability to affect the natural world magically to such a great extent. I'll admit I hadn't expected you to have this much power...

Ah, but you don't recognize me, do you? It's Twilight.

[red_roses]

It's a comic! Um, like a book, but with pictures showing the action, instead of words.

But you don't know that for sure!

[defyingfrigidity]

[Aha... oh boy. Elsa smile fades quite a bit at that.]

It was... very lonely. I spent most of my life believing my magic was a curse, because of how little everyone else around me knew.

[And for... other reasons, but even after the dream mess, she's still a little wary about telling more people about that incident from her childhood.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[That's... interesting. Huh.]

Ah, but most stories about great destinies start when the person in question is very young, yes? I had no such exciting incident growing up.

[Except for... that. But she would never consider that the start of some great destiny...]

[defyingfrigidity]

Oh, hello Twilight! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.

[Yes, once she gets over the shock, Elsa can definitely recognize that voice.]

As for my abilities... there's no way I'm anywhere near as powerful as these Princesses. Something like that, being able to move the heavens themselves... feats such as those are done only by gods, where I come from.

[friendyousohard]

You needn't apologize. I've changed species, it's only natural you'd be a little confused.

[Or rather, she's reverted to her usual species, but whatever.]

Perhaps, but you are altering the very seasonal state of the area around you, and on a large scale at that. The Princesses may have been a stretch, but even the most powerful unicorns struggle with that level of magic. I should know.

[shatterings]

He must be a very good reminder, then.

[ Naminé nods, mostly to herself. Many of her good memories haven't come from before this place. ]

I've never encountered magic like this... [ She's still completely in awe of Elsa--most of the magic she's seen is destructive or healing. Nothing like this. ]
