7th Magic Bullet

[Action; outside 2237 Stevens Road]

[The perfect beginning to summer vacation is getting a package in the mail from home.  Yuna eagerly tears into it, wondering what they sent her this time.  Getting her pactio card back before was pretty great, but now she's starting to miss some of her everyday effects, like her basketball uniform and all the junk she buys from the home shopping channels.  Unfortunately, that's not what Mayfield had in mind this time, but at least it's nothing bad either.  Inside the box, there's simply a piece of paper with a few words on Latin written on it.]

Huh... so this is what they sent this time, huh?  Well, might as well give it a shot!

[Yuna smiles a little, posing dramatically with one arm stretched out above her head as she calls out the incantation in Latin.]

Practe Bigi Nar: Ardescat!

[And... nothing.]

...Well, that's weird.  Maybe I still need a starter wand?

[Phone; filtered from drones]

Hey!  Are there any mages in town?  I think I just got some spells back from home, but it looks like I can't use them without a wand.  Some wizards make their own, right?  Does anybody know anything about that?  I've never really done it before, so if anybody could help me out, I'd really appreciate it!

Well, magic's secret there, so I didn't even find out my parents were both mages until pretty recently.

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

Is that so...? Ah, it sounds like the plot of a manga! A girl who always thought herself normal discovering the existence of a world of magic, and that her parents were part of it all along, then going on a journey to uncover her own magical potential...!

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's almost exactly what happened! How did you know?

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

[ blink blink ] I did not. [ Know, that is. ]

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Well, pretty good guess, then!

OH WHOOPS I DID NOT MEAN TO MAKE THAT ALL IN SMALLTEXT s-sob...

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

I wonder... have I developed some sort of peculiar ability to sense manga storylines in real-life...?

No probs, happens to the best of us o/

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Turns out my teacher's secretly a mage, too! It really does sound like a manga plot, doesn't it?

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

I think I may have even read one like that once. Ah, but it's about a young man who goes to a school of mages instead. [ beat ]






No, wait, that's just the story about Harry Potter-kun.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Oh well. It's almost the same, anyway. We were even trying to save the whole magical world before I got brought here!

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

That sounds so exciting! Ah, I'm almost jealous...!

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you're a whole country! I bet you've been on some pretty amazing adventures and stuff too. Like, wasn't the feudal era pretty exciting?

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

That's... a completley different sort of excitement.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

But still, I bet you got to meet a lot of famous people in Japanese history over the years!

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, that's true.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

If you want, though, I can show you some magic once I figure out how to make a new wand. It's only really basic kinds of stuff, though.

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

[ SO EXCITE ] Uwah! Really? I'd love that as well-! Yuna-san is too kind to me! I have never witnessed magic directly before...

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

No problem! It'll give me a chance to practice. And maybe I'll even learn to throw lightning bolts around like Sensei someday!

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

Then I will look forward to it!

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

I won't let you down!

[SALUTE]

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

[ s-salutes back a little awkwardly ] Y-yes...!
