Classified File #6: Useless wings!

[fail_mastermind]

*Acacia is... just standing there in her front yard at 1338 benny road, with black feathery wings on her back*

W-what's wrong with these...?!

*there are hastily cut out holes on the back of her shirt so that her wings are allowed out... something she's never had to do for them before*

W-why are they so useless?!

*the wings are flapping, but...

Most likely because you either need magic, a different kind of energy source, or a larger wingspan.

[Bernkastel is looking at Acacia, standing somewhat away. A tail is twitching behind her, as if she was nervous, although everything else about her suggests the exact opposite.]

[fail_mastermind]

... it is normally magic... I think...

Usually I can just dismiss them...

*she's a bit more upset about her wings to notice the tail at the moment*

[beatssuperpaper]

I suppose you haven't regained that magic then. Or it might be...the small problem.

[fail_mastermind]

But it doesn't make sense... the wings themselves are supposed to be magic, so...

[beatssuperpaper]

It's magic. The place is simply breaking the rules of your homeworld, I would say.

[fail_mastermind]

... you're... probably right...

*flaps her wings a few more times irritably, and a few black feathers come loose like any normal wings do at times*

[Bernkastels tail twitches, but is out of reach]

Oh, I know I am. If a place can take away all powers, it can also just give back partial powers, or something merely resembling powers we are familiar with.

[fail_mastermind]

... I guess that makes sense... ...

...

You have a tail?

[beatssuperpaper]

Oh, yes. It seems to be unusually twitchy, though.

[fail_mastermind]

I... noticed that.

[beatssuperpaper]

Maybe it likes your wings.

[fail_mastermind]

... what?

[beatssuperpaper]

Cats chase birds, I suppose.

[fail_mastermind]

I-I'm not some kind of bird!

[beatssuperpaper]

You do have feathers.

[fail_mastermind]

That's only because I'm part celestial...
