[Ed looks a little nervous. Probably mostly because of the weird burned stall behind him. There's a brand new one next to it! Made from earth.

... and decorated with skulls, roses and spikes, which is currently making the natives stare at them with confusion.]

Who all unlocked their "emotion" powers and how many problems has that caused for you?

[Ed did! Which probably wasn't the best idea with his temper, but hey, he'll live with it.]

Hm... I started glowing in that one quest with the lo -- [stops] A quest! But that wasn't a problem!

...uh, what is that behind you?

[heartofmetal]

[That's a ... weird pause. But he won't push it.]

It's a stall I made to replace the one I accidentally burned.

[He thinks it's a huge upgrade to a wooden stall.]

[roundandaround]

Eh? That can happen too? I gotta be careful!

[She'll forget...]

Why the skeleton goth stuff, though?

[heartofmetal]

Somehow I can't imagine you being angry.

[From what he's seen about Rinku, not that he knows her personally.]

Because it makes it look cool.

[roundandaround]

Huh... okay! I didn't know you were a goth! That makes sense.

[how exactly]

But yeah, come to think of it, I don't really get angry all that much... Sometimes, though. I did a little when we got kidnapped last month, but mostly it was just sad.

[heartofmetal]

I wouldn't call myself a goth, but I do enjoy the aesthetics of it. I don't actually dress that way.

[But maybe he should try it...! Just for fun.]

Kidnapped?

[roundandaround]

It was pretty scary at the time, but it's okay, we got out! Just some guy didn't want my friend and I to investigate him and his friends putting curses on stuff.

[heartofmetal]

I'm glad your fine now. Did they catch the guys who did that to you?

[roundandaround]

I dunno... But I'm sure it'll be okay. This is a nice place, and there's always people looking out! Don't you think so?

[heartofmetal]

Yeah. It does feel like people here look after one another.

[It's one of the best things about Ellipsa, really.]

If you run into those guys again, just give me a call. I'll set them straight.

[roundandaround]

Really? Are you a... I dunno what the word is... vigi-something. Vigoroso? Like that lady with the mask people say beats up gangsters at night!

I don't really have problems myself, but that might be because I'm used to controlling emotions to begin with...

[She says this so casually with a shrug of her shoulders.]

What, did you break something 'cause of it?

[heartofmetal]

Does that relate to your username?

[Psychic Girl would imply she might be good with emotions, among other things.]

I burned down that guys' wooden stall. But I made him a better one.

[yersavior]

Yeah. I do a lotta meditatin' ta keep up with my psychic abilities, after all.

[Helps a lot when you're hiding your insecurities, too. Putting that aside,]

The people in the background look more confused than happy, though...

[heartofmetal]

[That does make sense! Ed looks behind him and then back with a grin.]

They're just amazed how good the new stall is.

[yersavior]

I ain't so sure that's it... what's the stall fer, anyway?

[sapphireknight]

I try not to rely on it. It makes my control of my abilities here... erratic.

[And he's so used to suppressing magical ability that it comes as second nature in far too comfortable a way.]

[shuidegurou]

Yeaaaaah... I think I'm having about as much luck as you are over here, from the looks of it. It's gonna take a while to get used to them. Never thought I'd be struggling with having TOO MUCH patience...

[That last part was muttered to herself. Their living room is still a bit soggy in places...

Learning how to temper how intensely she feels things during potential combat is gonna be a b-]

We're just talking about in every day life right now, right? Because I don't even want to THINK about trying to use these in combat yet.

[She also has QUESTIONS about the stall. Why are there roses? What kind of heavy metal hair band vibe is happening here...]
