Hello you've reached Eleanor Lamb's voicemail. I'd explain what's next but I can't imagine you don't know what to do at the beep.

burningblossoms: (Not Okay)

[Yukiko leads the way, quickly making tracks and not really saying a whole lot on the trip. Not that she's a particularly talkative girl at the best of times, but still. Once they get there, she heads towards a more open if somewhat isolated bit of the park, away from all the trees.]

Okay. So...you know how you can...um. Move stuff with your mind? [A frown.]

I...woke up with superpowers too, apparently. Though they're not quite the same. Which is why I need you to back up just a little bit, okay?

Don't worry. I don't think it's anything to be scared of. Just cautious of.

[She's grateful for Al being taken care of though, because when she steps back and holds up a hand it's easier when she doesn't have to worry about the pupper. Concentrating on it is hard, but after a few seconds, a ball of fire about the size of a tennis ball appears over her outstretched palm. Her finger traces a pattern in the air and the fireball rolls along after it.]

I...can do this.

[Sweat beads on her forehead, and it's obviously straining to keep it up, so she flicks her finger and sends the ball crashing out into the damp grass where it rolls and fizzles out in a puff of steam.]

It's hard, but I can do this.
burningblossoms: (Thinking)

[Yukiko had freaked out when she'd almost reflexively lit a candle in her room. In fairness though, she'd taken a day to process and experiment and here she was, playing with fire.]

Like anything?

[She shakes her head after a long moment.]

I'm not sure what you mean by that. It doesn't feel bad, I guess. Or good. Just...like it's a part of me. What about with you?

burningblossoms: (Sympathetic)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-04-26 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Yukiko nods, getting a better understanding of what Eleanor was getting at now.]

I...was going to light a candle in my room and instead of using a match, I just waved my hand over it. Sort of like a reflex. And bam, there it went. Nothing really crazy. Thank Gods for that too. I could've made a real mess of things.

[You know, set the B&B on fire.]

But since you say that, you know. It does feel sort of like I'm borrowing the power when I use it. Maybe it's coming from my guardian angel.
burningblossoms: (Easygoing)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-04-27 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Just so. She's pretty glad it happened the way it did...]

No? Well maybe they're from different sources.

[Yukiko had probably spent the last few days looking through old comic books.]

Maybe mine's magic, and yours is something else, I mean.

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-04-28 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)

You aren't kidding.

[She's all the more confused now than before, if her powers didn't feel like Eleanor's.]

Have you had anything else happen since the gala? Memories or anything?
burningblossoms: (Confused)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-04-29 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I...had a really weird memory crop up.

[Stooping, she ruffles Al's head a little, earning a lick for her troubles.]

Have you ever heard of anyone in Recolle named Chie?
burningblossoms: (Unsure)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-04-30 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't either, and I've asked all over the immigrant community. It isn't a really common name, even in Japan.

[But that told her something more.]

I...had a memory about this girl. I fought for her, against this weird copy of herself. It was in some arena, and I was throwing fire around like it was nothing.
burningblossoms: (What did you say?)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-04-30 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. That's why I'm not really sure what to make of it. I was...definitely attacking that girl to keep her away from her...I don't know, clone? Real self?

[It's confusing and weird and she's not sure what exactly it all means.]

But maybe she is. I just...I haven't been to Japan since I was six or seven. And in this I was definitely around my current age.
burningblossoms: (Easygoing)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-05-01 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
The copy. It was saying all sorts of horrible things about the real one. So I...put a stop to it?
burningblossoms: (...Teddie)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-05-01 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Not just that. Some sort of...bladed fan. I don't really know how to describe it, but I've seen it in some fantasy books.

[Which is weird, of course. Really weird...]
burningblossoms: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-05-02 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Like...

[Yukiko pulls out her phone and pulls up what appears to be a D&D manual. In it is an illustration of a bladed fan. As in a wooden fan with metal blades in place of the middle bits.]

This. It's in this game book, and that's all I can find on it in any modern sense. Apparently some generals carried them in ancient Japan though.
