3rd Magic Bullet

Man, that was pretty weird, huh?  How much of all that do you guys think actually happened?  Was it an illusion or something?  Or maybe it was a really long and awesome dream?  Either way, the people in charge around here must be pretty powerful mages to affect a whole town like that for so long.

I'm glad the robot's gone and everything, but I kind of wish they'd have let me keep my other stuff from home.  But they left me the most important thing, so I can't complain too much.  Anyway, if anybody wants to join me since the weather's warmed up, I'm gonna be shooting some hoops after school today!

[Action; Friday afternoon - Mayfield High Gymnasium]

[Just like she said, Yuna's in the school gym after hours today, practicing on the basketball court.  She's wearing a loose shirt and boys' athletic shorts for lack of anything suitable for girls, dribbling the ball up and down the court and taking practice shots.  The hoop's too high up for her to get any awesome dunk shots or anything, but she does land over 90% of the shots she takes from mid-court or closer.  Anyone can feel free to come and join her during her practice, or when she's gone over to the bleachers for a water break]

Hah... I wonder if anyone would be interested in starting up a girls' team?

[Action; Friday night - Makeout Point]

[Yuna didn't announce this, but late Friday evening after the sun goes down, she's up at Makeout Point to practice some gunplay.  It's secluded and out of the way, she reasons, and the fact that she might be interrupting some hot dates seems not to have occurred to her.  At any rate, she draws a small rectangular card out of her pocket.]

Adeat!

[As the command leaves her lips, the card flashes and transforms Yuna into an awesome gunner outfit complete with magical pistol.]

All right, time to get some practice in!

[And she begins running all through the area, dodging left and right and strafing while firing magically charged bullets at rocks and various other pieces of scenery.]

"Interesting ability, that." [comments a deep voice, washed through his external emitter. A figure in glinting white plate, glinting white in the starlight looks over to Yuna. The voice is that of her notdad. He steps from the trees, as Makeout point is one of his favorite stomping grounds as well, having fortified the place occasionally for training sessions with his merry little band.]

Yeah, isn't it cool? I just got it before I came to Mayfield.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"I do not feel any colder having seen it."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

...Huh? Why would you feel colder?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"You said it was cool."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhhhhhh. No, not that kind of cool. Cool just means that something is... uh... good.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"I see." [he nods very solemnly.]

"How have you been?"

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Me? I've been fine! I just ran away from the giant robot and went to that western town.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I do not blame you for retreating, it was a devastating opponent and required the attention of several titans to bring down. Tell me of this... "western" town, if you will.

I don't know what it was, but it's probably best to just forget about it or pretend it didn't happen.

Better for your sanity anyway.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're probably right. Does that kind of thing happen a lot here?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Hm... I've only been here a few months, but I think them pulling an April Fools joke of that magnitude was a first.

Definitely caught everyone by surprise anyway...

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was a pretty involved prank. I know some people back home that would've been really impressed by that.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd be impressed too if I wasn't preoccupied with being shocked and horrified. Those two have more or less taken up all the room in my emotional spectrum at the moment leaving no room for impressed to get in there.

Oh well... so you're a basketball player, I take it?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm on the team back home. I haven't really had time for it since showing up here, so I wanted to practice a little to make sure I don't get rusty.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

I have a friend back home who was the star of her basketball team... too bad she's not here though. [pause] Er, wait, no that's probably a good thing, but you get what I mean. Too bad I'm not really athletic myself or I'd join you.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

That is too bad, I've really been itching to play against someone!

[ariesapocalypse.livejournal.com]

A team for what?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

A basketball team! There's no girls' team here, right?

[ariesapocalypse.livejournal.com]

I don't believe so, no. Girls' activities are strangely limited.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Well then I'm gonna start one! You interested?

[ariesapocalypse.livejournal.com]

I am not exactly sure how to play.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

That's okay, I can show you!

[ariesapocalypse.livejournal.com]

Really? That would be nice.

My name is Aradia, by the way.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yuna. Nice to meet you!
