Notes: Just a girl freaking out about her one of her new powers

Why did I only find out about this power of mine AFTER I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A BUNCH OF CLOTHES!?

We need a better way of letting people know of what new powers they get!

[ There's a video attached of Erika sitting on a bed, looking not all that amused as she holds out her arm to point at the air in front of her with her free hand in view. Then there's a glow from her hand and then... well, there's a blue dress in her hand where there wasn't one before.]

You… make clothes? Out of nothing?!

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Apparently!

All that I've learned for making clothes back home? Completely pointless while I'm here!

[bag_has_snapped]

Well, why not just… not use it?

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Because then that's a waste of a power!

And I'll always know it's there!

[bag_has_snapped]

Hmm, that’s true.

Wow, this is harder than I thought.

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Coffret keeps wondering why I'm upset about it too! He doesn't get why I'm annoyed that I can make just any design I want without any work into it!

[Erika maybe if you weren't so lazy about things that didn't interest you he wouldn't be surprised about you having an easier time with something.]

[slowmotionbuscrash]

That’s not how it works. It’s not like you’re assigned them. They just happen.

Also, the guild paid for your clothes anyway if you’re new.

[fluttersinoceanswind]

There has to be some logic to it that someone much smarter than me can figure out!

And the guild being the ones to pay for my clothes isn't the point either!

[slowmotionbuscrash]

Yeah no. If it was logical, people wouldn’t be able to fly.

Definitely the point.

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Why does having flying powers have nothing to do with logic?

And no it's not. I spent so much time trying to figure out what I wanted when I could've just made all my clothes!

[Yeah, she's just ignoring the fact that she, you know, loves shopping and loves clothes in particular.]

[slowmotionbuscrash]

Gonna assume that’s not a real question and not answer it and NOT get accused of mansplaining

Most people aren’t creative enough to make their own clothes

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Whatever.

Most people aren't me! I design clothes all the time!

[slowmotionbuscrash]

yeah you do now

[fluttersinoceanswind]

No I do it all the time. Even before I got here and got the 'make clothes out of nothing' power.

[slowmotionbuscrash]

you're like 10

[fluttersinoceanswind]

I'm fourteen!

[slowmotionbuscrash]

Not a lot of 14 year old entrepreneurs out there

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Hey, I just said I design and make clothes. Never said anything about selling them.

That might be extra useful if you can customize easily around unusual anatomy

[fluttersinoceanswind]

You're right I didn't even think of that!

[She could make Coffret clothes pretty easily now! Not that he was really all that oddly shaped compared to say, Coupe, but his shape was different enough than a human's. ]

[delicatetouch]

I may consider commissioning work given the wing I sprouted upon my arrival here.

[fluttersinoceanswind]

You got a wing?! Just the one?

[delicatetouch]

It's quite inconsiderate of the world, isn't it? To make customizing clothes so difficult?

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Definitely! That's just mean!

[There was probably more important things to worry about with the whole just having one wing thing but clothes!]

It at least comes out of your back though, right? It's not like your arm now?

[delicatetouch]

I hadn't considered that possibility. Many others may have it even harder than I do.

[fluttersinoceanswind]

...Okay, maybe having this power is a better thing after all.

Though for having a wing coming out of your back I could probably make you something even without it.

[delicatetouch]

So you aren't just fashionable but a seamstress?

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Yep! I mean, I'm still in school so I'm not like, a pro or anything, but I've been making clothes for a while.

And my parents own a clothing store with my mom's designs, so it didn't take long for me to start learning how to do it right.

[delicatetouch]

Still too young to fully strike out on your own, but it sounds like a passion that runs in the family. That's a wonderful thing to have.

[fluttersinoceanswind]

It really is!

[Sure, she still wishes she could've ended up as a model like her sister but, well, there's no reason to complain to a stranger with that. ]

Do you have something like that too?

[delicatetouch]

I suppose I've gotten a love of protecting people from my father and uncle.

[ But it's complicated. Her family is complicated and messed up. ]

[fluttersinoceanswind]

You've been doing the superhero thing even before coming here?

[Not that it's surprising, Erika also was but she was trying to keep being a precure a secret. ]

[delicatetouch]

Now, I never said exactly that did I?

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Well, no, but there's not really much ways you can actually protect people.

So you either did the superhero thing or you were a cop.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Dude, what! That is LEGIT AMAZING :D

[fluttersinoceanswind]

I would be more happy about it if I had known about it before buying a ton of clothes.

Even if it makes making clothes too easy.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

do you still have the receipts? You might be able to return them and get your money back.

[fluttersinoceanswind]

It's more the time it took me to find everything than the money that bothers me. I mean, the Alliance paid for all of it...

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

True, but that doesn't mean the time was wasted! You could always donate the stuff you don't want.

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Yeah, that's a good point! I'll just have to figure out what I'd want to donate.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

See, there you go! How much have you tested out your new powers? What kind of clothes can you make?

[fluttersinoceanswind]

I haven't tested it a lot. I just made a couple of things. I think I can probably make anything my brain can come up with though.

I should try to come up with a design that should be impossible to make it work and see if I can make that though!

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Yeah, yeah! You can go wild, get really creative!

[fluttersinoceanswind]

I'm going to start designing stuff right away!

After I get around to buying a sketchbook.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Perfect! Get yourself a really nice one and lots of art supplies with that Alliance card!

[fluttersinoceanswind]

That's right I can get a good one!
