[ Well, it's good to know that the usual is for things to be uncontrolled and unpredictable and not to feel bad if he's unable to keep things under control on his own. ]

"Dunamis"...

[ Yuuri repeats slowly as he processes what she tells him. ]

Is something like that hard to learn?

[letteropener]

It is difficult, yes, but some find it easier than others. [Celestia herself always struggles with it -- it is in many ways too close to her own unicorn magic, which she is infinitely more familiar with.]

B, bring the heat...

[ Should children make these kind of jokes with him? About such things? Maybe she wasn't really meaning anything by what she was saying and just saying it on the literal sense. ...not as though that would help with anything anyway.

But being teased like this was much more preferable than seeing her sad or upset. A little friendly teasing was allowed (and could be fun depending). It was also staying rather light-hearted and there was noting malicious about it. But even if it was, he was used to dealing with people with sharp tongues. ]

But yes, I'm sure. Though, maybe just not mention what happened to anyone else.

[meowbel]

[Sorry, Yuuri. You're going to have to dealing with a lot of puns around Mabel. Although, based on the look of his face, she wasn't too sure if she should continue doing that. He does realize that she was just joking, right?]

Then don't worry, your secret is safe with me! I'll just lock my mouth and throw away the key! See?

[Just like that, she quickly zipped up her mouth and threw away the 'key' in a random direction! As she tried to open it with her hands, she just couldn't! Her mouth remained shut while she struggled to get her mouth open!

Although, if Yuuri listened carefully, he might be able to hear a "And I keep my promises too!"]

[ Yuuri can sympathize with her and her embarrassment and tries to wave off what happened. No one got hurt and he keeps up a good face laughing softly at her remark. ]

It certainly is.

[ He rubs the back of his head. ]

But I guess we'll get used to it sooner or later.

[schmisse]

[ he's right. they'll really have to get used to being here sooner or later. and weiss wants to get used to this place as quickly as possible, because she has no intention of going back home. not just yet, anyway. there are things she needs to take care of. ]

You have a point. I've been here for a month already, and I still haven't settled down completely.

Okay.

[ Yuuri gives a nod and gets to work, tentatively hitting the ice with his chisel and hoping to knock enough ice off but not too much to ruin things. ]

So what was you world like? Is it anything like this?

[laurice]

Heck no, I don't create earthquakes when I flip out!

[Larry chisels out a few details before peering at Yuuri...but says nothing about what the other man is doing.]

Anyway, it's pretty normal. What about yours?

[ Yuuri listens to him speak and looks down at the ice ruefully. ]

I don't have anything like that. [ Losing contact with someone and then coming back later to have things click into place? No, Yuuri doesn't know what that's like. After all, if there was anyone who was leaving all of the time, it would have been him, and then in the past he kept people away from him.

Of the friends he had now, it was only really a handful. ] But it sounds nice.

[ He says with a bit of a smile before pausing. How would be describe his own situation? There was no way he'd feel comfortable being completely honest about it. ]

It's a little complicated but—basically the longer I want to hold onto this person the more I start to realize that it might be the worse thing I can do. It also feels like a dream.

[ Sorry he leaves things rather vague. They are, for the most part, still strangers and Yuuri wasn't comfortable opening up that much of himself. ]

[festumkept]

[He gets the whole being vague thing. Likely more than the other really knows. It's not exactly in regards to relationships, though; more so when it comes to talking about his world in a way that isn't strictly about how he lives on a beautiful island and is filled with a tight knit community.

. . . Yet, the pushing others away part is something he relates far too well with, in one way or another. For so long he kept everyone at arm's length, simply because he was scared he would end up hurting them.

He just quietly gives a nod as he continues to listen.]

What does your heart say?

[It's what comes to mind. Yet he just freezes, after. He's not being very considerate or nice right now. Which shows a little in the way the air about them thickens a bit.]

. . .I'm sorry. I shouldn't be asking you all of this.

[He wouldn't have liked it if he had been, either, especially on his first day.]

[ That's...still a lot to digest and to just take at face value. He understands what he's being told but it doesn't mean he's going to be suddenly okay with it all. ]

Alright.

[ Because, well, what else is there to say but to accept it? ]

If this wasn't happening to me, it'd think it was an interesting novel.

[bondsofsuffering]

There's some characters here who'd fit right in with a novel or a comic book, honestly... They've even got the superpowers to match!

[He's definitely gone through the same line of thinking before.]

Something happy?

[ Yuuri finds comfort in knowing that people here are generally helpful and friend even if there was no one he knew from home here. The comfort is slight but...

Well, icicles first and as she brings up how he should think of something that made him happy and would make it warmer, he looks a little lost. ]

How do I know if it'll make things warmer?

[ Also it's kind of embarrassing to think of something that would make things warmer... ]

[tradedvoice]

Right! I mean. It's....worth a try? If it doesn't work, I can try find someone else to help if we can't figure it, but.

[They won't know if they don't try. And even if they might get slightly wet, that's better than the icicles potentially landing on them in their harder, more frozen state in comparison. Ariel doesn't even think twice on the potential implications here, of course.]

Him?

[ He doesn't miss the way that her voice changed ever so slightly when she mentions a person instead of a hobby or another general interest. Well, it was progress and he's not going to question it. If anything he's glad to see that she's capable of expressing emotions. ]

Do you mean the person you're waiting for?

[ Yuuri hopes that he hasn't guessed wrong because that wasn't what he wanted to do. He just figured, assumed really, that it would be the case. ]

[stolenmoonlight]

Yes.

[Hei. Or rather... Li. The name is strange to her, but the person less so. The slight change in her voice is due to her feelings for him, that no matter how repressed manage to bleed through. But these are feelings she admitted to having years ago, despite it not feeling as though that much time has passed.]

[ Something is a word to use but wasn't that how things usually started? Maybe? It looks like a lot of something until it wasn't.

Though Yuuri can't help but laugh at Li's comment about their fellow competition. He really should feel good about it but he does. ]

Hoping that our competition to fail so we look better?

[circumstellar]

Maybe... a little?

[ He can't help but chuckle back, though a little bit more subdued, nervous. Like maybe that's something he shouldn't have suggested. (Or maybe because it's half-fake.) ]

Terrible of me, I know.

I see.

[ Somehow even if he's fine with it, it doesn't make Yuuri feel any better. No one should just accept these terrible things that happened to them but at the same time it wasn't as if there was anything that could be done after the fact.

...not really, right? ]

Work here or work where you're from?

[hopedout]

Work here. I'm the owner of a place called Future Beginnings, where I teach people any sort of talent.

[ No, he was not going to go anywhere any time soon and honestly his brain kind of shuts down in terms of understanding and grasping what has happened here. There's a part of him that knows he needs to acknowledge and thank her for healing(??!) his head and any other aches he had from his training.

It's nothing short of magical, obviously, and he knows he needs to say something because she's asking him for something and yet.

Yet, his mind is blank and he's in a state of awe and shock. She shot herself, something came out of her, he was now healed, and...oh, yeah, now she was talking to him in his head? It takes a bit longer of him just staring at her and trying to think of what to do.

Right, he needed to respond. Words. Words, Yuuri, words. ]

P, perfect?

[ Does that work? ]

ur hilarious

[thekissoflife]

[A bit of an amused smile at that, and she dismisses Juno, the persona fading away into a few, soft sparkles.]

Good. Sorry about all that; I know how strange that looked.

[Strange was perhaps putting it a bit too gently, but at least Fuuka was slowly coming to terms with using this ability in more public areas and in front of strangers. When she first arrived and was found out by a few people after (unsuccessfully) hiding away, she'd been alarmed, flustered and embarrassed. Not so much anymore.]

My name's Fuuka. It's nice to meet you.

[There you go, Yuuri, she's throwing you a bone and bringing the conversation back to something more commonplace: introductions.]

[ He doesn't make the connection of what has really changed but he does follow directions and nods his head once as moves forward out from the snow and the icicles. He was completely imagining the routine and the expressions that Viktor had made during that one particular performance.

It was kind of hard to not see the whole thing through once he started to think about it. Eventually the mental playback of the routine finishes within Yuuri's head and slowly grasps that he just escaped unharmed. The sudden change in mood causes a few icicles to snap off and fall to the ground with a heavy thud and Yuuri to flinch. ]

What... What just happened?

[sweetjoker]

Emotions cause changes in the environment here, I'm not sure if you have noticed. Your feeling of distress made the situation you were in riskier, which is why calming down helped.

[ It helps being good at keeping ones emotions in check, but he knows that not everyone are good at that. ]
