Late Morning 3/5

Ok so

The good news is I didn't turn into an ant

Actually I have wings now?? They just kind of popped out of nowhere.

So does anyone have tips for flying/not knocking everything over trying to walk around the house? I don't want to have to buy more monitors...

[Action - Park, Evening]

[And, once it's darker out, a small figure heads out to the park wrapped up in a warm coat and a beanie over her long hair - long purple hair, though with the dark, it may be more difficult to catch the glint of color.

Casting a glance around to make sure no one's around (that she can see), Yuuki takes a breath and stretches, a pair of wings appearing from her back - and yet, mysteriously, outside of her clothes. Sparkles glimmer faintly in the air, but they disappear quickly as they're shed from the transluscent wings.]

Oookay. How do you do this?

[invocate]

They didn't ruin your clothes? That's lucky. And convenient.

Maybe they are magic?

[sleepingknight]

I think so?

They don't even look like real wings

But they can still hit things

This is so weird!

[invocate]

Definitely magic wings.

I think, even if they are magic, general flight rules will still apply.

Even if some of the rules of physics don't.

[sleepingknight]

I guess I should be happy I don't have to worry about what I wear... maybe?

[If this holds true, anyway.]

So now it's just the flying part I need to worry about!

[invocate]

Hopefully! It would be very handy if so.

Would it help to have someone around who can catch you while you practice?

[sleepingknight]

That would be really great

I still have nooooo idea how to make them move

[invocate]

That, unfortunately, I have no advice for.

Maybe visualize?

[sleepingknight]

Just visualize having wings?

[invocate]

Um... how do I explain...

My boots, for example. I don't just wear them like regular boots. I have to think how I'm going to use them.

[sleepingknight]

You think about how you're going to use boots?

[She's... having a hard time picturing this, but also, she only ever walks in boots.]

[invocate]

A lot of it is very subconscious now, but yes.

Oh! Have you ever ridden a bicycle? A friend of mine has one and tried to show me once. But it was all so complicated. Peddling and steering and staying balanced. But he can do it no problem.

[sleepingknight]

Oh! Yeah, I know how to do that.

[invocate]

Controlling my boots is like that, I guess. There were things I needed to think consciously about, at first. Maybe your wings are like that?

[sleepingknight]

Ok, so first step learn how to move them, second step get used to it so I don't have to think about it too hard later?

I mean, it makes sense. I think I used to be able to fight when I was flying, too.

[invocate]

Yes. That order usually works best.

I think you will definitely find that useful in the future.

[sleepingknight]

Aerial fights sound awesome, but maaaaaaaybe not for a while!

[invocate]

True. Let's get the hang of flying first.

[sleepingknight]

Is there somewhere I can meet you?

[invocate]

Just outside of town on the way to Recolle Woods? That' where I first practiced with my boots.

[sleepingknight]

Sounds good!

Meet you by the edges?

[invocate]

That works! I can be there in about 30 minutes.

[teeeeechnically she can be there in less time, but this is how long it takes her to get across town by bus]

>Action

[sleepingknight]

[And sure enough, Yuuki will be waiting along the edges. She's got a warm coat and a beanie over her now long, purple hair - and ears, for a matter of fact. She peers around her surroundings as she waits, clearly on the lookout until...

Aha!]

Over heeere!

[WAVING BROADLY TO MAKE SURE YOU SPOT HER!!]

Re: >Action

[invocate]

[Li-Na waves in return when she spots Yuuki]

Hey!

[She trots over to the other girl. Similarly attired for the cold, she claps her gloved hands together in anticipation.]

Are you ready to try this?

[sleepingknight]

Ready! Teach me everything, oh great master!

[She pumps a fist in the air as she says as much, using the motion to stretch her back and make those wings appear behind her.]

[invocate]

[Li-Na gives a delighted coo as she sees Yuuki's wings. Black, glittery, semi-transparent bat wings? Adorable.]

Ooooo, they're so cute!
