[Liet is walking by the lake, lost in thought. Unfortunately, this leads to him--already walking far too near the water--tripping on a rock and tumbling forward. He hopes he can swim, when--

He finds himself floating in the lake, a forcefield keeping the water away and him afloat.]

W-what--?

[And lo, a dragon comes roaring down at Lithuania! It is screaming as it is ready to attack! Or maybe it's saying hi but shut up this is better.

But then it doesn't matter as the dragon bounces harmlessly off the forcefield and skids to a stop on a frozen section of the ice.]

[vytis]

A-ahh, look ou-- [Lithuania's knocked back into the water for a moment at the moment of impact, but soon he comes bobbing out and on top of the water again. It takes him a moment, but eventually he shifts the force field a bit and starts moving toward the ice.]

U-um, are you okay...? [He's not sure if the dragon can even understand him, but...]

[blackmagicangel.livejournal.com]

[The dragon tries to get up for a moment, but can't seem to get a good enough hold on the ice. Even so, the dragon does nod.]

[vytis]

[Lietuva extends his force field under the dragon's feet to give it better traction. In doing so, he removes it from his own feet and falls over.] Were you a--Ahh!

[He stands back up carefully.] Were you always a dragon?

[It shook its long neck before stretching out and a bright, blinding light encompassed it...]

[blackmagicangel.livejournal.com]

[...and when the light faded, Nina appeared.]

I do not seem to be able to speak in that form. My apologies.

[vytis]

Oh, Miss Wyndia! I didn't recognize you. [Because of course he should have been able to. Or something.] Did you just gain that power?

[blackmagicangel.livejournal.com]

Yes, only a few days ago. It seems... strange, to say the least. I apologize if I came off as aggressive.

[vytis]

It's alright, I was just surprised.

((subaru has mind reading))

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Aww. My force fields can't do that...

[vytis]

Y-you have force fields, too? [Is this sort of thing normal?]

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do, or, well... I guess it's easier to say I do. It's kinda complicated.

[vytis]

Complicated? [Briefly, he wonders if he's being a bit nosy, but he's curious and he's said it already anyway. He manages to shift himself over to land by pushing his force fields around.]

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Well, it's magic. Sort of. But it involves science too.

[vytis]

[He tilts his head.] It being science seems like it would make more sense, somehow. Magic doesn't sit right with me. [...Though he's just floated around a lake in a force field.]

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Well... magic isn't quite right, I guess. I mean... magic is science, or, um... if magic works, science is magic? Um... I'm not quite sure how to put it...

[vytis]

[This... Doesn't make much sense to Liet.] M-maybe a demonstration...?

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

U-waaaah! How amazing!

[vytis]

[It takes Liet a second to figure out which direction the sound is coming from.] Oh, Miss Ritsu, hello! [He sort of rolls himself over to Ritsu in his force field.]

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

Is that your power? It's so very wonderful.

[vytis]

Thank you! [He hops onto dry land.] Do you have a power?

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

... I BEG OF YOU TO NOT MAKE ME REVEAL THIS AWFUL POWER I HAVE BEEN CURSED WITH!

[vytis]

I-I won't make you if you don't want to! ...Is it really that bad?

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

It's terrible! If I keep thinking about it, I'm going to wind up using it!

[vytis]

I-I'm sorry for bringing it up. [He's still not sure if Ritsu's power is actually that bad or if she's just overreacting.]
