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!

Comments

[imperfectscientist]

Oh, geez, I'm sorry. I. That's terrible. I hope you've been able to see how amazing your powers are now.

[defyingfrigidity]

... You do? How so?

[After all of Twilight's talk, and just the fact that she's a talking unicorn, Elsa kind of assumed she had some pretty good first-hand experience with magic. But she never really went too deep into it, did she...?]

[defyingfrigidity]

... Really? What sort of magic are you familiar with, then?

[defyingfrigidity]

It... took some time to come around to that way of thinking. I can't say I don't have my bad days, but, for the most part... I don't think of the abilities I was born with a curse at least.

[A burden? A cause of strife more often than not? Yes. But... not a curse anymore.]

Truthfully, I have Anna to thank for that.

[shatterings]

Well... I suppose that wasn't the best way to put it. [ Pause. ] It's more like... I've never seen anyone use magic in this way.

[red_roses]

Sometimes....though, sometimes something happens to them after they've grown up, or they're born with the powers and don't know how to use them until they find a teacher!

[paopuprincess]

[If you say so. Kairi will still keep an eye out for fairy wings.]

So how do you do it? Spells? Old books?

[friendyousohard]

Well, not to brag or anything, but I happen to be particularly magically talented, even by the standards of unicorns. I don't remember if I ever told you this or not, but Princess Celestia actually made me her personal pupil.

... Looking back on it, she probably did that to make sure I didn't accidentally cause too much trouble.

[Giant rampaging dragons would not be good for anyone.]

Regardless, only a few of my spells can rival what you're doing, and most of them tire me out quite a bit to use. Though, that might be because you're a lot more specialized than I am.

[defyingfrigidity]

Neither. I just... [She waves a hand, and a small burst of snowflakes appears from thin air.] I think of what I want to do, and I can make it happen.

[defyingfrigidity]

A teacher, hm... [Elsa laughs.] Well, I have little to no chance of finding one of those in my world...

[defyingfrigidity]

[That... certainly has a sort of ominous feel to it, doesn't it?]

How do you normally see magic being used?

[defyingfrigidity]

So you were taught by one of the most powerful beings in your world? That's... quite an achievement, Twilight.

[Elsa would be lying if she said she wasn't a tad bit jealous right now...]

If you don't mind.... could I perhaps see what you could do? Even during the days when this happened a few months ago, I didn't see much in the way of the abilities of others.

[red_roses]

But...you could find one here!

[imperfectscientist]

That's good to hear. I think that might be a fairly common thing in worlds where those with abilities are forced to hide them, and I can't say I blame you for ever feeling that way, but I'm glad you can see things differently now.

Anna? [Though he's met Elsa, he hasn't had the pleasure of meeting her sister yet.]

[defyingfrigidity]

My sister. [Elsa smile softens as she speaks.] She was the one person who only ever saw my power as a good thing. When I... accidentally revealed it to our kingdom, she never once assumed what I could do was dangerous, and did her very best to reassure our people that I wasn't some monster trying to hurt everyone.

[defyingfrigidity]

Our powers only work for a few days, during these strange events that happen... talking to someone here about my abilities might not be the best idea, if there's no way to learn by example.

[Sounds like she really thought all this through...]

[red_roses]

Oh...but, maybe there's a book then?

[defyingfrigidity]

[Hmm...]

I've never seen a human native to this world use any sort of magical ability, though... the only books on such a thing might just be stories.

[red_roses]

It could still be helpful, though.

[shatterings]

Well... either to destroy things, or... heal others.

[ Mostly to destroy things. ]

[friendyousohard]

Oh, certainly! Hmmm... let's see, what's a good one to start with...

[After a bit of consideration, Twilight brightens as an idea hits her, and her horn glows brightly for a moment before she vanishes from sight.

Only to pop up right at Elsa's side.]

Teleportation. A specialty of mine.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa takes a step back in surprise, but the shock is quickly replaced with an amused laugh.]

Teleportation? Now that's something I've never heard much about in stories!

[defyingfrigidity]

Such extreme opposites.... it must have been difficult, living in a land like that.

[shatterings]

It... wasn't as difficult as it was for some of my friends.

[ Downplaying her experiences? nahhhh. ]

[friendyousohard]

Stories in general, or stories about my kind in particular?

[She knows humans have stories about unicorns, and sometimes she finds it interesting to check and see how accurate they are. This is one of those times.]
