The Moon Also Rises
[Ever just had one of those days where everything is really irritating?]
[It isn't that Luna is unaccustomed to this kind of treatment. The last time she was drawn into another world to fight a war that wasn't hers, the culprit hadn't even had the decency to show their face. On the other hoof, her indignance had faded much faster when she couldn't aim it at anyone specific. Couldn't that Lux have allowed her to retain her magic - or at least her Dream Eaters - if she's meant to be fighting monsters here? What, would he prefer she kick them to death?]
[And these humans! Rude!]
[This pony can be found walking with head held deliberately high and wings tense at her side, meeting the eyes of passerby with unspoken challenge. She doesn't expect them to fling themselves at her feet, but a little common courtesy to a newcomer is not that great a thing to ask. All she wanted was to find a place of residence, honestly.]
[No matter. There must be others like her here, if patterns hold true - she'll find them.]

Perhaps to say that they lived there is incorrect - it was meant to be a World of Dreams.
no subject
[Or does she mean the We in the sense that royalty calls themselves We? For...some reason. He never got that.]
So...everyone was asleep or somethin'?
no subject
And I think it is nearly as dangerous to thrust magic into the bodies of inexperienced wielders. Control is something that must be learned.
no subject
Ahh, it just means I gotta practice a lot! It's just like hockey, you gotta run drills until you can nail the slap-shots!
no subject
You ought to be supervised, in case aught goes wrong. None of us are experienced in this, but at least we could help if someone were hurt.
no subject
[Cocky little smartass mode: fully activated.]
no subject
[This is not comforting!]
no subject
no subject
[Look, he has fire magic, it's actually a reasonable question.]
no subject
[He's literally never thought about it up until this point.]
no subject
[She can see that going poorly for everyone.]
no subject
Prob'ly a good idea to test it though...
no subject
[Can she really trust him to be careful?]
We might try it now, with a small flame.
no subject
[Can he even MAKE a small flame? Sometimes it's unreliable. But he's not about to pass up a chance to show off for someone. OK...try to concentrate, think of hot things, try to imagine how cool it is that he can just make fire with his hands.
...YES. He has a little flame dancing between his fingers.]
So...not sure how I'm gonna test this, 'cept...setting my sleeve on fire.
no subject
[Sorry, didn't mean to yelp there]
Even if you have somehow become immune to flame, I doubt the same applies to your clothing. Perhaps...the tips of your hair? [Man, this is all such a bad idea. Celestia probably wouldn't be doing this.]
no subject
Pfft hahaha! Alright!
[He pulls a small clump of hair out from under his bandanna and holds his finger up to it. It doesn't seem to be catching...]
no subject
Ahhhh! How marvelous! [Look, Lux did a good thing!]
no subject
[Is it HIS fire or all fire that he's immune to? Oh well, who cares, he figures all fire could be his fire if he wants it to be. He pulls his hand away and goes to put his hair back.
...He put out the fire before he did that, right? He hasn't set his headband on fire, right?
...He has. He doesn't realize it yet though.]
no subject
[Luna dumps a hornful of suddenly-appearing water on Casey's head.]
no subject
[He'd just realized he's on fire and then he's drenched. He stands there for a moment before shaking his hands off and wiping the water from his eyes]
...What..was that?!
no subject
[It was clearly water; Luna's just looking up above him where it came from. After a second, she focuses again, and a small globe of water gathers to hover above Casey's head.]
I see...
1/2
[Casey reaches a tentative finger up to prod at it.]
Guess you figured out your-
2/2
He tries to blow a lock of sopping hair out of his face.]
...magic.
no subject
Quite so. That seems fitting - though I think I might prefer something more immediately practical.
no subject
Well, we can't all have firepower, right? 'Course if you could get the pressure up you could probably bowl over the Nox!
