In which Shawn has a crisis, Scara doesn't know what she's doing, and Kyir does a good thing.
Oh boy, that tagline XD
Shawn glanced up and opened his mouth to say hi to Cap- and froze. Three translucent figures floated around her, all with blank white eyes- although one of them wore shades similar to Kyir’s that hid them, but it wasn’t a huge stretch that his might match.
Welp, now three people know Cap sees dead people....
“Very,” Cap admitted. “We need to get you to see Scara. I heard you were a bit...zombified...but this is ridiculous.”
Shawn nodded in assent and followed Cap back out onto the street and towards where Scara had set up, quietly hoping that she knew what she was doing. ~~~ “I have no idea what I’m doing,” Scara announced as she stepped back from Shawn. “Anyone have any ideas?”
Me: Wait I have an idea! *covers Shawn in spray tan* See? Problem solved XD Shawn: WTF Scara? I'm still green under this! Me: Well....yeah....but at least you don't look like the Hulk now...^^"
Tana messaged me that transition and my response was "Welp, thanks for that XD"
“A magical cloaking spell,” Mentor suggested. “To make it work properly you’d probably have to cut off most of his magical ability, but just bind it to an item that he can easily take on and off.” “That could work,” Fall mumbled. Cap and Shawn slowly turned to look at her. She looked at them oddly, confused. “What?” “You...could hear that?” Shawn asked, dumbfounded. “Y..yes?” Fall started to look scared. “Wh-what, was I not supposed to?” “You can see us?” Atar demanded. “Yes? Can’t everyone?” “No!” Shawn looked at her like she was nuts.
Welp, the group of people knowing about Cap's abilities just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Way to let the cat out of the bag there Fall XD
“Okay, well, you guys figure out magic and cloaking, I’m going to go see Kyir,” Neves announced. Fall looked at him as if he had declared that he was off to eat some garbage. “Kyir? What the fuck for?” “To get some repairs done, why else? I can feel my left leg locking up. I don’t think he did as good a job on my back as he thought.” Neves forced himself to his feet and walked stiffly out the door.
Fall who can't imagine anyone wanting to go see Kyir willingly XD
“Well, I can enchant an item to change your appearance back to what it was. Essentially transform you back. It’s not just how you look, either- you are actually what you once were. Once it was removed, you would revert to your more...zombified appearance.” “Okay. What’s the catch? There’s always a catch.” Shawn crossed his arms. “I’d likely have to almost entirely cut off all of your access to magic while you’re wearing it, or it might interfere with the cloak and cause some..interesting side effects. Possibly including turning you into sludge, permanently." “Okay, that’s a good reason.” Shawn blinked a few times. “Wait, hang on. I don’t have access to magic. I’m not magical.” Geek looked at him like he was stupid. “Shawn, did you never question why the temperature sometimes drops around you, particularly when you’re upset? Or why your shotgun sometimes gets patterns of frost along it when in battle, usually when your friends are hurt?” “N-no…” “You’re developing ice powers, Shawn. But you can only use them when you look like this.” Shawn looked down at his hands. “I…” I’m magical. The words didn’t seem to belong in his mind. I’m magical.
*bursts into song* Shawn you're as cold as ice! But are you willing to sacrifice? Your looks? *coughs* Ok musical interlude over XD
“It’s a bit of a shock to learn you have magical abilities, I know.” Scara put a hand on his shoulder. “I was born with my abilities, but I didn’t learn about it until I was about eight. It was pretty surprising.”
Yeah when I fell over and cut my leg open, then was crying and holding it while my mother rushed over to find that though there was blood on my hands from where the cut had bled but the cut itself has vanished; I freaked so hard and my mum had to hold me for two hours til I calmed down.
After a few minutes, he heard Cataclysm clear his throat and Kyir seemed to become...nervous? Neves shook his head slightly. That wasn’t quite right. Although the man did seem less aggressive than he usually did... “Hey, um. Neves?” “Yeah?” “I, uh...I just…” Kyir drummed his fingers on the table. “I wanted to….I wanted to apologize. For, um. Blaming you. For everything going haywire. It’s not your fault that it doesn’t always work right, and, uh..” Kyir’s left hand moved to rub the scar across his left eyes. “It’s...hard, when things don’t always go your way, and I wasn’t making it any easier for you.” Neves stared at him in disbelief. “You’re...sorry?” “Yeah. I am.” Kyir’s finger drumming stopped. “...Thanks. I...appreciate it.” Neves smiled at him and Kyir quickly nodded, looking away and getting back to work. They were silent for the next half hour, but it wasn’t tense like it had been before.
I take it Cataclysm had a talk with Kyir after everything calmed down and pointed out that Kyir should apologise? Gotta hand it to Kyir, no one would expect him to apologise but he has.
“This place is a mess,” the man commented as he set down the box. “Kinda like your life. Fucking burned. I’m out.” With that, he left. Cataclysm groaned. “He’s so lame.” “It’s great,” Neves mumbled. He turned to Kyir. “Who was that and is he available?” Kyir rolled his eyes behind his shades. “His name is Scott and he’s taken.” “Damn.” Neves crossed his arms. “The attractive ones are always taken.” “I’m not,” Cataclysm joked. “Should I be offended?" Kyir barked with laughter as Neves sputtered an apology, only earning laughter from Cataclysm as well. The cyborg shook his head before he realized that he was smiling and enjoying himself. Maybe these two weren’t so bad after all.
