You Find Yourselves Stirred By A Voice....

[strangerpeople]

[You feel as you are on a fluffy cloud of warmth and the urge to not want to move is great. However, the voice speaks again as if it is urgent...and maybe angry?]

Damn brats! Get off the merchandise before I call security on you!

[Oh. Well.

When you come to, the familiar scenes of your bedrooms fill your sight. However, the barriers are gone and strangest of all, there are people around. They can SEE you and for sure, they are gawking at the weirdos that are somehow sleeping in department store beds. But on the hands of Croix and Chariot, there's something on their hands...a phone number and a message saying 'Call me! :D' from some weird girl with an A name. But when you finally move and get away from any nosy customers, you have to wonder 'What just happened?' 'Is everyone ok?'

And why do you have the urge to go visit Cafe MYJL?]

[Yuuri actually doesn't flinch at the contact. In fact he hugs her back just as gently and warmly. She might notice he's wearing simple but well-tailored clothes that echo his free skate costume, but also a few pieces of jewelry, namely a silver bracelet, diamond studs (oh my god he pierced his ears??), and a familiar gold ring. His nails are... also painted with something shimmery.

Oh my, Yuuri. What's happened to you~?]

I don't think any of us are innocent of doing stuff like that, Calistis-san... or is it okay if I call you Chariot-san now?

[ourmagic]

You can call me whatever is easiest on you, Yuuri.

[ Her smile is warm. ]

You all changed so much while we weren't looking... goodness.

[katsufemmefatale]

We had to, but it's not that bad. I was scared at first, when they told us what was happening and what we need to do. I didn't want to make that choice. But... I love my world too much. If I have to be stronger for everyone I love, I know I can.

And I won't be doing it alone.

[ourmagic]

I understand... it's frightening. So then... did all of you... change?

[katsufemmefatale]

I think so. The enormity of it will probably hit us when we're linked to our cities, but right now I still feel pretty odd. There's a lot of power bouncing around inside us.

[A shy fondness colors his smile.]

Victor told me I make music with my body when I skate, so I guess that makes me a natural Composer. I'm glad I'll still be able to skate, though.

[ourmagic]

Understandable. I don't think... anything happened to the rest of us? I don't know. But... I couldn't just take that deal, myself.

I'm sure you all worked hard, too.

[katsufemmefatale]

My world is really peaceful, Chariot-san. There's no war, no prejudice, no violence. I can't let anything happen to that.

I'd give almost everything to protect the people I love, even my mortality.

[theirmagic]

... I understand.

[ A chuckle. ]

That's why I said you were strong, Yuuri. That you have your own strengths, when we first met. I did mean it. ... You thought I was a cosplayer, remember? Oh, that was so amusing... but now you know magic is real, right?

[ She smiles. ]

[katsufemmefatale]

I do. I really do... and not just the kind you mean, either.

[He's gone misty-eyed, right on the brink of happy tears. His heart is made of glass, but doesn't that mean it shines brightly, reflecting the light of those around him?]

Friendship, love... they're magic, aren't they?

[ourmagic]

Some of the most powerful magics I know, actually.

[ She smiles brightly. ]

Friendship and belief in loved ones is what saved my world, after all.
