auroraexpress | The Nineteenth Trial

[Cute Five.]

[She will listen politely, closing her eyes and swaying a bit side to side. She's certainly has Thoughts about singing's place in the world, but now getting to hear it, she really does like it.]

[Will even clap politely when he's done.]

Glad to see I've got a fan.

Your turn next.

Right, right. [Thinks a moment.] I think I got a song.

[And they're both in luck, because she can definitely sing well. She claps her hands together, to make her beat as she starts to sing.]

[And she definitely gets more into it. Clapping her hands, dancing in place, overall getting very into the song.]

[So much so she doesn't even notice the glowing on top of her head when she starts getting into it.]

[Then near the end of the song, the glowing spreads in a flash, and pony ears appear on her head, her hair grows to look like a tail, and she's just more glittery now as her song comes to a sputtering end as the flash definitely got her attention.]

What-?

[ He's used to all manners of weird powers by now, you know, what with his family and all. But this is still a magical girl transformation and she's a pony and getting pony ears, that's like, bullshit on top of bullshit.

So he's going to gesture towards her when she says "what?" ]

There you go. Some of your magic activates with song. Congratulations on the transformation sequence..

[She's looking over herself. Sees the sparkles and who knows why that, some magic does just sparkle for reasons, but she's looks at her hair and oh wow, she can FEEL the shift in her balance, it feels so much more natural now, and she touches her head, feeling her ears and they're HORSE EARS, they're her ears and-]

I can use it! I can use my magic!

[Sorry Five, you're there, so you got another hug, complete with twirl.] Oh my gosh, thank you for having me sing!

[But at least it's only for as long as the twirl before she puts him down, walking back and forth and grinning.] There's the proper sense of balance!

[ Oh no. An actual hug. A real one. He's letting her do all that just because he's so taken aback he doesn't even know what to do.

But eventually ]

Never do that again.

[ She gets that without any threat because in the end, he actually is warming up to her ]

What? Oh, right, sorry, I just- [She laughs.] There's just suddenly a lot of energy and I guess hugs are a thing I do? Wouldn't have guessed that, but ponies are kind of freely affectionate, I don't know, I'm just-

[She giggles, hopping in place a few times, arms wrapped around herself and there's some tears escaping in her glee.] I can at least get some magic out. That means I can use it, I just have to figure out how with a musical conduit and I'm just really happy.

[ with a musical conduit seems to get his attention way more than everything else, and he's staring at her, thinking. Then, finally ]

I'd like to know more about your powers, if they're tied to music. How you use them and you channel them through them. Keep me updated as you figure it out, it's important.

I'm willing to help you test them out too, of course.

At least for a manifestation, I'll need to figure out if it's just activation or if it's everything. But I have some spells tied to magic that I can test with, see what is and isn't different, might have to test with emotions, see if it's stronger with ambient music. I'll need to get some notebooks.

[She was babbling a bit, but]

Important? Do you have a magical or musical problem?

Both. But it's not for me.

I'm asking to help someone else.

[Nod nod.]

I can see what I can do.

But yeah, I can keep you updated. Especially if you're helping, sometimes just having a sounding board can help solve a problem.

We could always exchange musical numbers and see where that gets us.

Sure. I.... [Pause.] I do know how to write music. With bars and symbols like a clef? [Does that cross dimensional barriers?]

[ He was about to say he wasn't actually serious because like hell he's singing again, but he did ask for a very specific reason, and maybe if he helps her he can help when he's back home too, so shit, that just became a serious proposition ]

I might need to brush up on all that.

[She just did a magical girl musical number, this is all very legit.]

We can go over it while working through the magic stuff. Plus whatever you've experienced might explain something or inspire a solution, trading notes is very important to find new solutions.

My sister destroyed the world with a violin concert. That's as far as my experience goes, so. You're not going to get much from it.

.....hayseed.

[Because damn man.]

[But frowning, rubbing her chin.] I might. In that kind of situation, the details may show more for someone who knows that kind of magic. First guess would be some kind of break in cosmic harmony.

She wasn't really herself at the time. Pretty sure destroying the world was her actual objective, and not an accident.

I haven't really been around to see what triggered it. All I know is that the more she played the more powerful she became.

Now see, those are very good details to know. If she was out of her mind, then it takes away a few things it could be.

And more she played, the more power she got means there's a probably harmonizing affect. Something to make a feedback loop or able to stack pieces on top of each other.

Do you know what the destruction results in? Like is it just blackness, an explosion, all laws of physics break?

She shot a beam to the moon so technically, it's the moon that destroyed the world. But I was struck by her powers and it seemed to absorb our vital energy.

That narrows things down a lot more.

...how exactly did it feel, to absorb the vital energy? The affects?

I couldn't move and it was the most painful thing I ever felt. Wasn't pleasant.

No, I imagine not.

[She's got a very focused face.] Physical damage or just energy and pain?

Just energy and pain. Once she stopped I was fine again.

[Perks up.] You still felt the lost of energy once she stopped?
