[Luci's voice comes on over the network, and she sounds pretty excited.]

I got something back! Not just some vague feeling or a maybe memory, but an actual power! This is completely unexpected! I didn't think in my wildest dreams that I'd be able to use magic or anything like that, especially like this!

It started earlier, and since then, through lots of experimentation, I've been able to figure out the following: I can make things brighter, and I mean REALLY bright, but not darker; I can make little balls of light in my hands, but I'm not sure if they just stay there or if I can do anything with them--I really don't want to accidentally break something in my room; also, this--

[The video turns on to a bright, glowing blond's face. And arms. And yeah everything. It's almost like there are dancing lights underneath her skin. Meet Luci, resident goody two-shoes, overachiever, and now human disco ball.]

Which is really cool, but I haven't actually figured out how to turn it off yet. So, um, help? Anyone?

[ Having Haro means he's incapable of hating all things mascot or bff-y. ]

I think I'd be okay settling for anticlimactic in this case!

[ladyofluminosity]

I'm a bit disappointed, but sometimes these things are like that. You expect a big bang and instead get a tiny whimper.

[argents]

Maybe next time?

[ladyofluminosity]

There's the possibility. I do have to figure out if this is just a fluke or if this is a regular outcome. I'm no scientist, but it's good to know what to expect from one's abilities.

[argents]

Well, you already sound like you know what you're doing when it comes to figuring out what you might be capable of. So it's a start... a lot of people don't get that far right away.

[ladyofluminosity]

Oh, I'm really just trying things until something works. If you throw enough crazy ideas at something, you're bound to come to some conclusion, right? Not necessarily the right ones, but it's progress in some capacity at least. I just happened to be really lucky.

[argents]

Sometimes I feel like it's all just dumb luck, too.

[ Not for lack of trying, BUT HE IS A KID GOVERNED BY FEELINGS MORE THAN LOGIC.

But he still gets the basic gist. ]

You know, I've been sitting here talking to you all this time and I didn't even introduce myself, sorry! I'm Banagher.

[ladyofluminosity]

That's okay, I probably should have thought of that myself. I'm Luci, nice to meet you.

[argents]

No way, you were preoccupied! And same.

[ladyofluminosity]

Yeah, being lit up brighter than a Christmas tree is a bit distracting. Really glad that's over and done with.

So are you new around here too? Or new-ish, I guess I have been around a few weeks. Not sure if that still constitutes as being a newbie numbers member.

[argents]

Considering that we're all still figuring things out ourselves, I'm not always sure either. But I've been around since April. April 1st, when the network appeared, I think.

Not a very good joke, is it?
