[ The more things change, the more they stay the same, and things are changing. It's a bit like falling into Wonderland. For those from a universe where 'Ansem' destroyed entire worlds, they might it find familiar, reminiscent of the dark outskirts of the worlds leftover. Soras, especially, will find the way they scatter and melt into nothing familiar. The entire dressing room is shrinking. As the worlds unmerge and become their own, disconnected from the makeshift world around them, things are reverting back to how they were. The outermost walls of the apartment building are expanding, the actual apartments themselves shifting around like a Rubik's Cube, down one, to the side, turning in place. Some go tumbling like a box kicked down a flight of stairs. Houses are sliding closer, squashed together, yards shrinking to fit a uniform length.

When things stop and the dust settles, most people will find the result just as familiar. Anyone who's been here longer than a year surely will. We're back to the original layout of the dressing room; the endless apartments. There's no end in sight, but there's also no roof, and the hallways aren't pristine. Most of them look the same, or similar enough, but they still seem outdoors. Concrete sidewalks and round stone walkways in dirt roads, desert passages made of sand and stone, grassy halls lined with vines and flowers up doorframes, or wet, murky swamps with steps leading up to rooms. There are halls for where people live, but they're virtually indistinguishable from the other halls. The rooms where nothing is predictable. The houses are all along the same 'hall', winding in a large curve back to the main room, which is where all of the halls can be accessed, the main kitchen, and special doors to go to each and every World. All that remains from before is the river, winding through the halls.

Trams still run along the outskirts, because no matter how cluttered and tight things are again, the place really is endless.

And everywhere, everywhere there are colorful bubbles floating through the air, across water, even stuck in trees. Some are clear, some filled with colored smoke, and some dripping. They crackle like glass and burst into nothing when touched, hitting the one responsible for popping them with a spell. It's the New Year, after all. Has to start off with a bang. ]


{ ooc ; Happy New Year, DR! It was voted on a while back on LJ, and now it's happening. Maybe this fresh start (in more ways than one!) will stir in a little more life. As with tradition, spells are recycled during the New Year, so! The available spells to hit your character with are:

- age character up or down
- character speaks only the truth
- character becomes an animal or has animal traits
- fear spell (character undergoes their worst fears)
- love arrows (causes the character to fall in love with the first person they see)
- aphrodisiac (character becomes unbearably aroused, and stays that way without the help of another person)
- alignment swap (good becomes bad, bad becomes good, grey areas are up to you)
- power swap (element changes to opposite, or switches abilities with another character)
- body swap (two characters swap bodies)
- sex swap (physical sex changes)

Expect more spells soon! }

Yeah. I mean, I guess somebody probably does, somewhere, but they're weird. Then again, most people are, one way or another.

Speaking of... hm. What's one weird thing you can do?

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-09 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
One weird thing...?

[She thinks about that for a moment.]

Well, I'm double-jointed. Does that count? I'm not really all that special otherwise.

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-09 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. It's interesting, at least. I guess "weird" isn't really the best way to phrase the question. Got any talents?
islandflower: (when your head's in the clouds)

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-09 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
Like I said... nothing special. I've only really started fighting recently, so I'm not even all that good at that. Not compared to Sora and Riku, anyway.
prince_of_tides: (Sitar)

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-09 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
You'll probably catch up, no problem. They've just had more practice. Once you find a style that works for you you might even be able to beat them sometimes.
islandflower: (when your head's in the clouds)

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-09 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so. Back home, they're both busy with some sort of big keyblade exam... thing, so I've got some time to catch up.
prince_of_tides: (Think Think Think)

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-09 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
... I didn't know there were enough keyblades around for there to be an exam. There's, what, them and the King?
islandflower: (she's ripping wings off of butterflies)

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-09 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually... it's way more than that. According to Master Yen Sid, and the King as well, keybearers used to actually apprentice under true keyblade masters. They would take an exam when the master thought they were ready, and if they passed, they became true keyblade masters themselves. But some time ago, the last of them all... disappeared.
prince_of_tides: (Casual)

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-09 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
... Have you ever seen Star Wars? [Because Nocturne has just realized why this sounds familiar.]

But anyway, how are they taking the exam if all the keyblade masters are gone?
islandflower: (when your head's in the clouds)

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-09 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Master Yen Sid is giving it. I guess it's not right to say they all disappeared. Master Yen Sid 'retired'.
prince_of_tides: (Uh-Oh...)

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-09 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...kay. I guess that makes sense.

[The name doesn't ring any bells, but hey, if he retired from a mystical knighthood he'd probably want to stay out of the spotlight, too.]
islandflower: (forgotten the taste and smell)

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-09 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I think he was the one who taught the King...
prince_of_tides: (Fancy That)

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-09 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess he must've been pretty good, then. I mean, when he still was one.

Then again, Sora's pretty good all on his own, and I guess that's without anybody training him at all.
islandflower: (when your head's in the clouds)

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-09 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... Sora and Riku both practiced with wooden swords on the Islands, when we were growing up. So they both got pretty good during that. And then Sora had Donald and Merlin around to help him with magic.
prince_of_tides: (Sitar)

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-12 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, guess I should have figured. I mean, I guessed he had help with the magic. It's tricky trying to work that one out on your own - trust me, it's about the only thing I can do properly in a fight. I let everybody else hit things.
islandflower: (when your head's in the clouds)

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-12 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[That gets a giggle out of her.]

Maybe I should get you to help me with magic while I'm here.
prince_of_tides: (Default)

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-13 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Dunno if I'm any good as a teacher, but I guess it couldn't hurt to try.
islandflower: (when your head's in the clouds)

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-13 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to if you don't want to.
prince_of_tides: (Default)

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-13 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, 's up to you. Not like I really have any major commitments around here.
islandflower: (when your head's in the clouds)

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-14 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well, as long as you don't mind... we might as well give it a try. I could use all the help I can get.
prince_of_tides: (Water Power)

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-14 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, well, first off it helps having something to focus on. At least it does for me. You know magic wands? I think it's kind of like that. I think I've seen Sora use his keyblade for one, actually.
islandflower: (somewhere too far for us to find)

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-14 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
That's how I've been learning, too. I've sort of got the hang of a few things, but they're not very powerful yet.
prince_of_tides: (Fancy That)

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-14 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, they won't be if you're just starting out. It's like muscles, you've got to use it enough for it to get bigger.

I think, anyway. Like I said, not really big in the hitting-things department here.
islandflower: (when your head's in the clouds)

[personal profile] islandflower 2012-01-14 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds about right. Don't worry, I know how you feel.
prince_of_tides: (Sitar)

[personal profile] prince_of_tides 2012-01-14 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Guess we're both going to end up being the magicians, huh?
