[So, after that incident with the keys and the other kids he went with, Henry had only felt that hollow heartbeat inside of him when he and the other kids escaped. His mind had been focusing on him nearly getting Phillip killed that he didn't really take much notice over the pulse he had received. It wasn't a memory and he hadn't felt or looked any different. Maybe it was just a hiccup that he felt. Nothing really important.

Though that night he had pretty much been his usual distant self to Mr.Trill. Yeah, that didn't go over too well. Needless to say he was sent to up to his room without dinner tonight. Wow. That's a punishment that hasn't been used since forever, he thinks. He'd only be allowed supper when he apologized but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

But, the hunger was getting to him. He was lying in bed staring at the ceiling and his eyes drift over to a sheet of paper on his bed side table. Picking it up he stared at it for a long while. Maybe if he just believed it was a chocolate bar he could eat it without gagging.

Shutting his eyes he brings the paper to his mouth. Just believe it's a chocolate bar. Believe. Believe.

And when he brings it to his mouth, it's sweet and chocolatey.

Wait, what? Henry opens his eyes...and wouldn't you know it; it's a chocolate bar. Henry almost can't believe it, but that paper he was holding magically became a chocolate bar. No way. He has to try it with something else. So he picks up an eraser and then thinks hard that he's holding a hotdog.

And before his eyes it just shifts into hotdog.

Best. Power. Ever.]

[So, on his dresser mirror he writes with marker on the surface his number. For once he's actually smiling. He feels the need to show off just a bit.]

So I think I just got back the coolest thing ever. Look.

[He holds out a pencil to the mirror and he just thinks: "I believe it's a sword" and almost instantly the pencil shifts into a sword.]

I wonder what else I could make. Having a car would be kind of cool to have. I don't think anyone in my grade has one yet.

Whatever you do, just ... don't wish us into the cornfield.

[video]; i was half expecting talks of justice and free mages when i saw this but oh wait AU. :D

[theboywiththebook]

That'd be a pretty dumb wish. What would we do in a cornfield?

I'd rather get a million dollars.

[So he can just buy his own house. Filled with candy, games, and other fun stuff. Oh and weapons.

Also there would be no adults allowed. :T]

[stillshrill]

You wouldn't do anything in the cornfield -- [ Anders literally facepalms. ] Never mind. What am I saying. I ought to know better, I'll just give you horrible ideas. Try wishing for the million dollars, that can't hurt anything much.

[ Anders imagines the million dollars as Monopoly money, or rectangles of construction paper with a stick-figure George Washington on. ]

[espigeonage]

[wait what]

Wait. What?

You can just uh [Julien goes blank, then remembers Calvin and Hobbes.] transmogrify things at a touch?

[Voice]

[theboywiththebook]

I guess so. Probably not the flashiest power ever, but, it's something.

[Clearly this power in the hands of a child would never spell disaster.]

I haven't tried it out much yet so I think need to test it more.

[espigeonage]

From here it seems pretty enviable as pulses go. Really, yes, test it. Find out if things change back after a while.

Hah. Aaaand seconding the cornfield thing. Also don't turn people into rocks.

[voice]

[amberhearted]

That's pretty damn nifty. Better find a good hiding place for it, though.

[voice]

[theboywiththebook]

Yeah, that's a good idea or I could just turn it back into a pencil.

[Seriously, bro. Magic transforming thing powers. He can easily hide this stuff.]
I'll probably bury it in the backyard or something if I keep it like this. The grown ups won't think to look there.

[voice]

[amberhearted]

I'd go with the turning-it-back-into-a-pencil route. Metal in dirt's not a good idea.

You know how to use it? The sword.

[Voice]

[dododo]

[ !!!

What. ]

That is incredible.

[Voice]

[theboywiththebook]

Probably the best thing that's happened for me yet.

[And only good thing.]

I still have no idea what else it can do.

[Voice]

[dododo]

Sounds like you'll have to test the limits.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Dude! So can you make, like, anything?

[theboywiththebook]

Uh, maybe? I made a hot dog and a chocolate bar out of just paper and an eraser? So anything maybe.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Try, like, uh...

Try a pile of rubies. Just see if you can do it.

[Video]

[darkhourdear]

You got a power? That's so cool! [:o MAKING THINGS FROM OTHER THINGS.]

[Video]

[theboywiththebook]

[OH NO, NOT YOU!

But, to be fair, Henry's more willing to talk to Phillip now. He did nearly get the other kid killed...sooo...he'll try be nicer to the other guy now.]

Yeah and now we've got an even bigger advantage.

Re: [Video]

[darkhourdear]

[good because you are officially friends in Phillip's mind.]

Yeah! Can you make anything?

[drama8om8]

Holy fuckballs that is actually legitimately pretty super neat. And I say that as the resident network real-life fairy! I have the final say on what is cool and that pretty much qualifies. Congrats.

[ She's not kidding about the fairy thing. Her wings might be flapping a little and betraying her enthusiasm. ]

video; omg yis, Taiva. I had a feeling she'd come

[theboywiththebook]

[Wow, swearing lady. He can't help but grin seeing those fairy wings. Holy mother of whatever. She is a fairy.]

Thanks. Your fairy wings are super cool too. Nice to know I didn't get something boring. Like knowing how to floss.

video;

[drama8om8]

Anybody who needs an echo to learn how to floss has major fucking problems, bro. So you ain't half right there! Super gross.

So have you tested your limits yet? Can you make alive things? Like a bunny or something.

[icy_heavens]

[He's not in the best mood, but eh. Why the hell not?]

Least you got something useful out of that whole mess.

[He'd felt the Pulse, but he doesn't know anything different, remember anything different. Nor can he do anything new and no random objects have shown up.]

Video

[theboywiththebook]

[No Toushirou. No. Don't even bring it up here.]

Not where everyone can see!

[He hopes Toushirou is smart enough to know what he means. Because he literally doesn't want to hear half the adults yell at them all.]

[wonk]

wow thats much cooler than pumpkins

[theboywiththebook]

Pumpkins? What kind of power is pumpkins?
