31st moon [The Return of the Fourth Wall]

[All Cecil had wanted was to check on the trenches one last time before going to bed. Surely that could not hurt? Thus, a few minutes before midnight, he'd gone down to the beach. But the moment he set foot on the sand, he found himself blinded by a flash of light. A flash of light that gave way to a very different beach, all of his belongings in a

{Do you hear a faint whooshing noise, Cecil? And that it seems to be getting closer all the time?}

. . .

{A WILD NANAO APPEARS!}

Hello, Cecil.

[puppet_paladin]

[...This is starting to feel wayyyy too familiar.]

Good... period of the day, Nanao.

[used_glare]

{BUT SHE'S NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.}

And to you. It seems that we have our powers back.

[puppet_paladin]

...Truly?

[And now there is no more Cecil in front of Nanao. She might want to look to her left.]

[used_glare]

{Nanao looks to her left, hand resting idly on the hilt of her Zanpakutou.}

Oh?

[puppet_paladin]

...They do work!

[Nanao, you have made his day.]

[used_glare]

{Smiling happily~}

I'm glad! It's lovely to have them back, that's for sure.

[Cecil suddenly brings his hands down, as if he was planting a stick in the ground. Wait, are those purple flames rising up in the sky? And where did that dark armor come from?]

...Even those. It's been years since I could use those attacks...

[So happy.]

{srgdbvfb Half-drawing her wakizashi at that - }

Very impressive. You caught me by surprise.

[puppet_paladin]

[Back to paladin mode, now.]

I was not expecting it to work, honestly. Those powers have very few practical uses.

[used_glare]

How so? Surely they must have some use.

[puppet_paladin]

Only in combat, and they take their toll on the user. My other powers are much more useful when travelling.

[used_glare]

Ah. I seem to be a little luckier than you in that department, then.

[puppet_paladin]

Is that so? What sorts of powers do you have?

[used_glare]

Manipulation of spiritual energy. {To demonstrate, she cups her hand, and a small ball of white energy coalesces.}

I'm only limited by my imagination as to what I can do with it.

[puppet_paladin]

That's rather impressive, especially if one takes into account all the possible applications an imaginative person could find for it. Is it a common power, in your world?
