Right, so I can't be the only one who's noticed that things are getting... a little out of hand, what with the scorch marks, the goo, the Quad pies, the random explosions, the monster dung, the cats --

I'm just going to pre-empt you all and ask what needs to be cleaned up.

By the way, can we stick to blowing up cakes and not the toilets

[Cid's not especially fond of a Prince running along the ceiling or a Prince landing on top of him. He doesn't care all that much for a Prince floating in mid-air, either, but it's better than having to catch him.

Telekinesis--a handy thing, that.

In any case, Cid flips the Prince so he's right-side up, shifts him a few feet away from himself, and then promptly lets him fall.

...At least it's not too big a drop?]

[kissmydamask]

[Okay, this is especially weird. The Prince rolls as he lands, instinctively using the momentum against gravity's sudden attempt to break his back. Again.]

Thanks!

You got the hang of yours pretty quickly, didn't you?

[focusedfate]

An act borne of necessity, I assure you.

[He gestures briefly at the ceiling with one hand.]

Were you practicing as well?

[kissmydamask]

I've got it! Almost. Just gotta get the knack of it before it disappears -- if it disappears, anyway. What're the odds of it being permanent?

[focusedfate]

Your guess is as good as mine.

I would not be averse to the idea of a permanent switch though.

[kissmydamask]

Having fun with your mind powers, are you?

[focusedfate]

It can be useful, yes, but... [A brief smile.] I could have been left powerless, and I would have accepted that as well.

Yourself? Enjoying your new abilities?

[kissmydamask]

What, you can't tell? If I could do this at home, I'd be set for life!

[focusedfate]

Then do you mean to tell me you intended to drop on top of unsuspecting individuals passing by?

[Cid quirks a brow.]

[kissmydamask]

Ahahaha. Aha. Ha. Yeah, that -- that wasn't really what I was going for. Having an element of surprise is one thing, but I still won't get much out of falling other than maybe a broken leg or two if I'm lucky.

[focusedfate]

Oh?

[A pause.]

I had taken you to being more acrobatic than that. To break a leg at this height doesn't seem like something you'd do.

[kissmydamask]

Hey, you keep expecting the worst, everything ends up turning out for the best. Kinda like now, actually -- since when did you have a sense of humour?

[focusedfate]

[A brief, vague smile.]

Should I take that as an insult or a compliment? [He chuckles quietly.] I'm as human as the next individual.

[--Just possibly a million times more reserved and restrained.]

[kissmydamask]

[Just a tad. The Prince laughs and shakes his head]

Sure, you say that, but that's not a guarantee. I've met some pretty humourless guys in my life, and I'm... okay, one or two might've been ghouls instead, but as far as I know, they were human and completely incapable of telling a joke. Or taking one, whichever comes first.

[focusedfate]

I assure you that I am not one of those individuals.

[He's not sure he'd survive working with Rygdea for so many years if he didn't have some sort of sense of humor.]

[kissmydamask]

Yeah, I can see that. Try to keep it simple, though, a joke's not funny if the other guy doesn't get it.
