☼ third kick. (video)

[tournesols]

[ early afternoon, itsuki carefully seems to be setting clear resin into a little mold. After that, though, in goes a light blue flower and over that goes more resin. she works fairly quickly and with gloves, waiting for a brief moment before covering her new creation. she waits a good moment before smiling, feeling distinctly proud of herself, and then looking to the camera. ]

Good afternoon, Asgard.

I'm not a very good cook, so I'm trying to keep myself out of everyone's way... I've kept myself occupied with looking at some crafts I can do here. At home, a good friend of mine made flowers that would never wither away. [ she smiles brightly, and holds up a flat resin pendent that has a pretty white daisy in the center, made into a necklace with a white leather cord. ] It's actually quite fun! I'm not sure what else you can put in resin, though.

Does anyone have any-- [ ideas would be her next word, if she could get it out. in a flash of yellow light, though, itsuki changes drastically; there's an idle "ah, that felt weird" before she looks down and sharply yells in surprise. ]

What--?!

[ in a flustered hurry, she turns off the video feed. ]

[ ooc: itsuki's curse will last until sometime during the utgard event (likely the 25th), and until then, she'll be stuck in her precure form. ]

I wear it when my friends and I fight as a team. I'm just... a little surprised!

[ awkwardly avoids the subject of being a precure lalala ]

[darkbreak]

[A team?

Fighting?

A new appearance that doesn't relate to what she normally looks like?

...]

What, you're on a team of superheroes or something?

[tournesols]

[ ... ]

Eh?!

[darkbreak]

Ah... never mind.

[It just... vaguely reminds him of those superhero cartoons and shows he used to watch as a kid. People having secret identities and fighting in teams and all.

He just... embarrassed himself so badly there. God.]

Whatever it is... it should disappear in a couple of days.

[tournesols]

[ riku looks so embarrassed, itsuki feels a little bad. she knows the kind of thing he's talking about--god knows she used to watch them when she was a child, too. awkwardly, she shuffles a bit, rubbing the back of her neck, before she switches their thread to private. ]

Um, Riku-san?

[ ... ]

You're, um, right.

[darkbreak]

[Blink.

So many blinks. But at least he doesn't look embarrassed now. More confused really. He kind of mentioned that casually, maybe as a joke, but...

Damn, now she just looks serious about this.]

You mean... about the superheroes thing?

[tournesols]

[ man, does she want to get into this? does she, really? but...

yes. she closes her eyes and looks to be debating something, before she looks up and looks very stern, serious. ]

Yes. I, ah... I thought I wouldn't be able to change, because the gods took away our powers. [ she brings her hand against her lips, thoughtful. ] But somehow, I look like this.

[darkbreak]

[If it helps, he's like the bestest secret keeper in the world! Sorry, Sora!

He can understand that seriousness, and in turn, just offers a smile.] Looks like a curse. You likely don't have whatever powers you used to in that form. If anything, it's just a physical change. Nothing more.

[tournesols]

That's what I thought. [ even if that pains her a little. though, awkwardly looking down at herself... ] Do they do things--curses often? Why is it just me?

[darkbreak]

Often enough. Sometimes they end up being more of an annoyance than anything really bad. [The really bad tends to be a very very big rarity around here.] And sometimes they end up hitting multiple people, or just a single individual.

Unless you know someone else here that can change like you can, it's probably just you in this case.

[tournesols]

I don't know if this is an annoyance... [ she tugs slightly on the gold ribbon on her chest. ] More of a surprise. I like my uniform very much.

It must just be me. None of the other Precures are here. [ hmmm. ]

[darkbreak]

Yeah. This has to be one of the tamer curses they did. So long as you don't mind, it shouldn't effect you much. [He pauses, smiling a little fondly. Man, Kairi would love to get her hands on an outfit like that.] A friend of mine would love your uniform...

[There's a light and playful screech from behind him, and Komori flies into view.] I think he likes it too.
