we are such fragile things.

[this girl's looking a little different, somehow - maybe it's the fact that she's a little taller? she's clutching a sketchbook tight to her chest as she looks around apprehensively]

...think we did it? [--and then she realizes she's apparently addressing thin air- that would be a yes. so she'll kind of stand there in the doorway, eyes wide]

[ooc: so, uh. a week? more like. two days. :/ yeah. she's eight now, yay?]

Thanks!

*yay hugs! they're of the good*

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

[very much so]

...'s it hard to learn to use them?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

It depends. You already use your powers a little, but usually when you're not thinking about it. I'll help you build up control first.

*hair ruffle*

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

So they'll do what I want 'em to?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*nods*

Control is really important with Darkness. If you don't control it when you use it, it'll do bad things that you don't want it to do.

...Like what?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*thinks of how to explain*

Well, like the Dark Fire. You might try and use it to hit one thing, but if you don't control it, it could burn down the whole room instead.

[nods seriously]

I don't want 'em to do anythin' like that.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

That's good. Using the Darkness can be really scary at first, but I'll do my best to show you how to use it right.

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

[nods]

'Cause it's dark, you mean?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Well... *s-sigh he didn't really want to have to explain this but it's necessary*

You know, when you're scared, or angry, or upset... when you feel lots of bad things, that's when you get the most power from the Darkness. But it's very easy to lose control... to just be so angry that you... throw a tantrum and let the Darkness use you to do bad things.

That's why control is important, because if you feel bad things all the time, eventually, you'll stop knowing how to be happy.

...Oh.

Got it!

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*smiles because things get more complicated than that, but at least he managed to explain it*

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

[well it makes sense to her so far]
