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!

[Elsa's show would be met with some polite (albeit slightly confused) applause. How could anyone use magic so openly? Were magical girls present here, and if so how was it so...peaceful?]

[Confusions aside, Mami had never seen an older magical girl before, or one that could control ice. And she seemed to do it very well, so it went without saying that the younger girl was clearly interested.]

You're very good at that.

[Having no idea how or where she was, Light watches the snow fall. It's not until she looks at the source that she feels akward. It's a small blessing that her heart doesn't beat like crazy, or the other feelings that accompanied seeing the woman she'd loved. It felt more at peace than anything. There was still some anxiety, but it's more of a "hope she doesn't freak out" kind of thing.

Looking away from Elsa, she notes that her Pokémon were enjoying the display.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[(Un?)Luckily for the two of them, Elsa's pokemon notice Lightning's before Elsa notices that there's even anyone else around. And it's Idunn, of course, that lets out a happy cry and wiggles her way through the snow and over to Lightning.]

H-Hey, Idunn, where are you-- ... oh.

[Oh is right. Elsa's finally noticed she's not alone, and... well. She's not freaking out right now. That's... good, right?]

Hello, Lightning.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Maybe, if this had happened last time, Elsa would have been a bit jumpy. But the people here... even seeing her at her worst in her dreams, when her power was uncontrollable and she had hurt her sister... people were okay with it. So when she hears a girl's voice speak up, Elsa turns and smiles. She still looks a little flustered, because wow what are compliments still, but... it's a good thing.]

Thank you. It... took quite a long time to be able to do such things.

Action!

[red_roses]

[Pop! Here's Ib. It looks like she's just pulled a cake out of the oven, as she's holding it with oven mitts. Her gaggle of Pokemon are with her, and equally confused, but soon, frolic in the snow.]

E-Eh? Ah! M-Miss Elsa!

[jurokucha]

Really? You do it so naturally, it looks quite elegant.

[She's not jealous exactly, but MAAAAGIC]

[defyingfrigidity]

I try. It's... very easy to make snow and ice the exact opposite of elegant. [ugly. Fearful.] I don't want my magic to be seen as something to be afraid of.

[... Nevermind the fact that she herself is afraid of it sometimes.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[WHOA okay yeah that. That's still a bit surprising.]

Ib! are you all right?

[red_roses]

I...think so...? Wh-Where am I? Why is it snowing?

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Ah.]

Oh... I'm doing that.

[SUDDENLY FEELING A BIT SELF-CONSCIOUS....]

[ Someone's looking rather happy! That makes both of them, at least. When the display is mostly done, Naminé claps her hands quietly, smiling. ]

That's wonderful, Elsa.

[jurokucha]

Oh? [That's certainly a problem she hadn't heard before.]
Do you have trouble with it? If--I mean, if you don't mind my asking. I know that's terribly forward.

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Aha.

She could hide and say she didn't. It's not like this girl would know, right? But... after everything some of the others saw during that dream mess... it would feel wrong, lying now.

Still, she looks a little uncomfortable as she talks.]

I... used to, yes. Magic like this doesn't exactly come with a lot of control.

[Nevermind the fact that she had very good control when she was a child....]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa jumps a little, more out of surprise that she didn't notice anyone behind her than surprise that someone saw her using her powers. There's a smile on her face when she turns around, though, so all is well.]

Thank you. It's been a few months since the last time this happened, so I thought I'd be a bit rusty, but... it all came back very fast.

[shatterings]

[ More than the weather, Naminé is happy to see her in such high spirits. ]

I'm not sure exactly what is happening-- [ or how she woke up this morning feeling a lot emptier than she's gotten used to ] --but I'm glad you're happy. And your Pokémon, too.

[defyingfrigidity]

I'm not sure what exactly is going on either, but something like this happened a few months ago. It was harmless back then, so I'm sure there's nothing to worry about now.

So... I suppose I just want to enjoy it while it lasts.

[shatterings]

Mm.

[ She stoops down to gather up some of the snow, packing it into a snowball and just... looking at it. ]

I've never seen snow before.

[defyingfrigidity]

Really?

[Now that just seems... so alien to Elsa. Arendelle may not be the kingdom the furthest to the north, but it does get snow quite often...]

Were you living someplace very warm, or...?

[shatterings]

Mm... not really.

[ How to explain this... she goes with the explanation that'll garner less questions. ]

Twilight Town never saw any snowfall. Neither did the place I lived in before.

[red_roses]

[Sparkle eyes go!] Really? That's amazing!

[defyingfrigidity]

[To be fair, several things about their meeting in her dream raised questions, but. Elsa of all people knows when not to prod, so she doesn't.]

That's sad... even if I wasn't connected to it as I am with these powers, I don't think I could ever imagine a land without snow...

[She frowns, but quickly tries to replace it with a smile.] I could show you, if you'd like. What a real snowfall looks like.

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Oh geez, it's like looking at a younger version of her sister...]

O-Oh. Thank you.

[THAT MUCH ENTHUSIASM STILL KINDA THROWS ELSA OFF BADLY.]

[shatterings]

[ Her eyes widen at that, and she nods, clasping her hands together. ]

You wouldn't mind? Really?

[bylight]

[Light kneels down and holds her hand out to Idunn.]

Hey there. Your little boy, Cerys, is doing well.

[She takes a moment before looking up and nodding.]

Hey.

[defyingfrigidity]

Of course I don't. If I can use my power to help instead of hurt... how could I say no to that?
