Late Morning 3/5
[Retrospec]
[The post is by one Lily, their icon simply a picture of a red dragon lady crinum.]
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?

>Action
Aha!]
Over heeere!
[WAVING BROADLY TO MAKE SURE YOU SPOT HER!!]
Re: >Action
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?
no subject
[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.]
no subject
[Li-Na gives a delighted coo as she sees Yuuki's wings. Black, glittery, semi-transparent bat wings? Adorable.]
Ooooo, they're so cute!
no subject
[She just laughs in her embarrassment, scratching at the back of her head.]
I guess it just comes with being a fairy? There were others with different wing shapes, though!
no subject
A fairy, huh? Were there different types of fairies then? Is that why there were different wing shapes?
[Li-Na would have much rather had fairies in her past life than akuma B|]
no subject
Ahh, but I was wearing purple then, so maybe that's a little bit off.
no subject
Maybe you were merely an exception to the rule?
[but color coordinated hair and outfits isn't the reason they're out here]
Anyway, let's see how your wings work. I don't think anyone on the network has had magic based wings before.
[at least, not that she's aware of]
no subject
[Her smile becomes a frown as she concentrates. Okay wings, let's see if this goes better than the first try...
They give a beat, putting her surprisingly high up in the air. She drops quite a bit before she gets the next beat in, but after a few seconds she's definitely hovering, though it doesn't stay as level as it could be. She's adjusting the power she uses with each beat, and it's never quite the same amount of lift, leading her to bob up and down.]
no subject
Nice! You get quite a bit of lift with those.
[Li-Na stays on the ground for now, not capable of hovering without invoking Sound Shackles. It allows her to see the way Yuuki bobs between each flap.]
Can you flap your wings a little faster? Smaller beats, but less time in between?
no subject
[Let her try! It takes some effort, and her height fluctuates wildly during this time, but eventually the beats of her wings grow smaller, and her height levels out.]
Is- is that good?
no subject
[Li-Na watches her carefully, ready to jump up and catch her if needed. But gradually she sees Yuuki improve.]
Yeah, you're a lot most steady now. That's great!
[now... how to push that just a little more...]
Now... if you wanted to change direction, like, turning to the left, what do you think you should do?
no subject
Well, turns herself completely around before she can actually right herself again. Her arms flail a bit as though that would stop her.]
Whoa!
no subject
[Yuuki's not completely wrong about her arms having an affect on her spinning.]
Arms out straight! It'll help balance you and slow your rotation.
[She knows a fair bit about spinning after all.]
no subject
O-okay... Is there anything else I should do next time?
no subject
[Li-Na makes an 'IDK' gesture from the ground.]
This might require a little more research. I mean... how do birds or planes turn when they fly?
[she really only cares about physics when it applies to dancing...]
no subject
[She seems about to reach for a pocket - velcro'd shut - before she thinks better of it.]
Can you look it up on your phone?
[She's not sure she can keep her focus on two things at once, and handling something as fragile as a phone seems like a bad idea.]
no subject
Let's see... might as well start with birds. That will probably be most similar to your wings...
[After perusing a few results, she makes a slightly frustrated noise]
They all say different things. One says birds twist their wing tips left or right. Another says they use their tails, which doesn't really help you any. And another says they stroke harder with one wing than the other.
no subject
[Thanks for nothing, Internet. After a moment to psyche herself up, she'll try the twisting movement-
and successfully turns 90 degrees!]
Whoa!
no subject
[no matter what it wants us to think, the internet doesn't know everything]
Ah! That worked!
[Li-Na claps her hands]
Which one did you try? The rowing or the twisting?
[it's a little hard to see those kind of wing movements]
no subject
[And she allows her wing beats to slow, bringing her to a soft landing. Let's just take a break from the air real quick while she gathers herself and their ideas again.]
no subject
[Li-Na waits as Yuuki comes back to the ground]
That was great! You'll get the hang of flying in no time.
