The Moon Also Rises

[raisethemoon]

[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.]

[Wow, he's impressed. That's only SLIGHTLY less crazy than his first plan!]

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...]

[raisethemoon]

[Look, it's not like this is the BEST plan ever. She's not sure there's any terribly safe way to test if something (or someone) is flammable. Still, she leans forward - first preparing for action, and then just in interest as she sees the hair fail to catch.]

Ahhhh! How marvelous! [Look, Lux did a good thing!]

[jonesiseverywhere]

Woah, check that out!

[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.]

[raisethemoon]

Eeeep!

[Luna dumps a hornful of suddenly-appearing water on Casey's head.]

[jonesiseverywhere]

GAH-

[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?!

[raisethemoon]

Water?

[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

[jonesiseverywhere]

Huh!

[Casey reaches a tentative finger up to prod at it.]

Guess you figured out your-

2/2

[jonesiseverywhere]

[Poking the bubble breaks the surface tension and he's drenched again.]

He tries to blow a lock of sopping hair out of his face.]

...magic.

[raisethemoon]

[Luna muffles a short giggle behind her hoof.]

Quite so. That seems fitting - though I think I might prefer something more immediately practical.

[jonesiseverywhere]

[Wipes the water out of his eyes.]

Well, we can't all have firepower, right? 'Course if you could get the pressure up you could probably bowl over the Nox!

[raisethemoon]

[Sigh. Luna summons a thin stream of water and moves it around a bit.]

I suppose there are applications to be had. Especially when there is fire around.

[jonesiseverywhere]

Uh...yeah, well, I'll get th' hang of it!

[He watches, but...steps back. He wants to, you know, dry off.]
