Tenth Song ♪♫ ((flirting curtsies to the thirteenth floor))

[heartmaestro]

 I - [phone]

A-Ah, hello everyone...have any of you ever received an empty package? At least, empty of any meaningful objects...mine only had a picture on it, a small white orb...but I have no idea what it means.

Is the picture not supposed to represent an immaterial thing being returned? I don't remember ever having anything of that nature...I'm so very confused...

II - [action, all around town]
[Still horribly confused about what's happened (and whatever a "light orb" might be), Kotomi tries to go through the rest of her day as normal as possible. She can be found virtually anywhere--at the school, at the grocery store, walking around, or at 728 Anderson, and all looks normal. Except, if you can sense that kinda thing, she seems to be radiating a large aura of magic, very pure and untainted magic, enough to make anyone who didn't know she had this sort of "power" (read: everyone) do a double-take.

She herself is blissfully unaware of any of this.]

[heartmaestro]

[She gives a slight bow.] It is no problem.

[lil_tanuki]

[Hayate smiled, noticing her body language a little.] Are you all right, miss? You seem like something's on your mind.

[heartmaestro]

I am just...thinking. [And she does look a bit beside herself.]

[lil_tanuki]

Mmmm. Trouble at home, or issues with some kind of event?

[heartmaestro]

A package I received in the mail.

[lil_tanuki]

Ah, a regain I take it then. It wasn't bees or anything was it?

[heartmaestro]

Wh-what? Bees?

[lil_tanuki]

After the April Fools pranking, I got a package of bees. I locked that up good.

Was it something you didn't want or was it a confusing item?

[heartmaestro]

O-Oh my. [Mou..., she thinks. She only got the glove to the face, and suddenly feels grateful for it.]

The latter. I still have no inkling of what it might be.

[lil_tanuki]

Ah. So it was maybe a card with something on it? That's what I got this April Fools too.

[heartmaestro]

Mmm. [She nods.]

[lil_tanuki]

[Ah, now they were getting somewhere.] My card had a picture of a glowing orb on it. I got my magic back as a result.

[heartmaestro]

[ ?! ] A glowing orb, did you say?

[lil_tanuki]

Yeah! It was a round circle, and I felt my magic return to me when I touched it.

[heartmaestro]

That was...the same thing I received. A picture of a glowing white orb.

[lil_tanuki]

Hmm that could mean you got something like magic or some kind of power back. Did you have anything like that before you arrived here?

[heartmaestro]

That is my problem. Many have told me it is a form of magic...but I possess no magic back home. At least to my conscious knowledge.

[lil_tanuki]

That is weird. Maybe it's been dormant all these years? I remember I had dormant magic as well.

[heartmaestro]

Hmm. That is probably the most plausible reason I've heard so far...but at the same time I do wonder if my world really held magic beneath the surface.

[lil_tanuki]

It could very well be like that. Sometimes worlds have hidden treasures like that.
