[Twilight was actually going to take that hand with her hoof before Levy pulled it back.]

Oh, hey, it's okay, Levy! I know how humans work. I've been one before. Though, let's just say my first few days as one wasn't glamorous.

[Like freaking out the second you became one, still trying to walk on all four, eating an apple like a horse...]
scriptrix: (confused)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-11-20 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Levy's taken aback yet again, but shakes all the same.]

You were transformed into a human...? How did that happen?

[personal profile] im_pancake 2015-11-20 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Magic mirror. It's... kind of a long story, really. Magic mirror, alternate universes, the fate of everything hanging on a pageant.
scriptrix: (concerned)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-11-20 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
That does sound complicated. I won't ask.
im_pancake: (2)

[personal profile] im_pancake 2015-11-20 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Though, I will admit I met some very wonderful people there, some of whom I think turned out for the best.

Again, another story for another time. How about we go see what is all around here? Maybe we can find something that can help us!
scriptrix: (cheerful)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-11-20 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Right! I was thinking of heading to one of the university libraries first, if they'll allow us inside.
im_pancake: (5)

[personal profile] im_pancake 2015-11-20 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Good idea. I'm hoping there's a lot more here than it is back in Ixen. A lot of the books there were pretty much the same.
scriptrix: (curious)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-11-20 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I know. I've probably read most of what's in the library there already.

Hmm... [Twilight continues walking, using a wing to help her think.] ...my main concern right now is the lack of magic - not the magic from this world, but why we can't use our own. Right now, the one thing that bothers me is that if we didn't actually have it, I wouldn't be this bright, but actually gray.
scriptrix: (curious)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-11-20 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Gray? Does your color come from your magic?
im_pancake: (5)

[personal profile] im_pancake 2015-11-20 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
More or less, yes. Just about everyone has magic in some way. I guess you can say it's our life. For us ponies, it's also tied to our Cutie Mark.

[And Twilight uses a wing to lift up some of her gear and reveal the starburst-like design on her flank.]
scriptrix: (interested)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-11-20 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! It's really pretty.

[Levy smiles as she leans over a little to look.]

If everyone has one, there must be some special signifiance tied to it, right? What does yours mean?
im_pancake: (8)

[personal profile] im_pancake 2015-11-21 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Mine represents magic. Back home, unicorns - which I was once - usually focused on one type of magic. Me? Well... I could do a lot of things with my magic.
scriptrix: (sad)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-11-21 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That reminds me a little of the magic I had before coming here. I miss it a lot. The magic Jobs aren't really the same at all.
im_pancake: (5)

[personal profile] im_pancake 2015-11-21 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's why I'm trying to figure out how to get it back. I don't think our magic, our powers or any of that is gone - it's just repressed.

I can't function like this. I'm not used to not using my magic to levitate things around. The thing I want to know is is if we have these Jobs, then why can't we have what we were given alongside them.

I'm sorry... it must be even harder for you, Twilight. But if it makes you feel any better, there's some research going on right now that might help with that soon.
im_pancake: (11)

[personal profile] im_pancake 2015-11-22 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[And at that, Twilight opts to lift a hoof before she speaks]

I do need to apologize there. I was getting snippy at you and I know it's not your fault. I'm... not good with things going off track and I always fall into this pit. It's even worse because what was taken was something that was a part of me and without my permission. So... it's riled me up a bit.

Though, it's good to know something's being done.
scriptrix: (sad)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-11-22 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay. I know how frustrating it can get. But if you want to help out with the research, I can introduce you to some people.
scriptrix: (working)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-11-22 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
The others helping out at the laboratory. There's seven of us working on Custom Jobs right now - that's the project for restoring our powers from home. And there are a few other things going on there, too.
im_pancake: (12)

[personal profile] im_pancake 2015-11-22 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... I'll have to see about joining in, then. This sounds like something up my alley.
scriptrix: (Default)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-11-23 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
The Custom Jobs research is almost done, actually. You might not have to go without your magic for much longer.
