As anyone's noticed from Winter's update, we arrived in one piece. With our pulses/echoes intact, but there's some caveats to that. So... a quick rundown, for anyone interested:

Upon leaving Locke City's barrier, our pulses were not entirely LOST - rather, they were weakened severely. Memories of the Network and regained memories of other lives became fuzzier. I didn't try to transform, but I imagine it wouldn't have worked, although my transformation device remained. But there was still some remnant, or trace of things - but it was like trying to pull back thoughts veiled through static. Just not... QUITE there, but I knew they SHOULD have been. It's a weird sensation, but... it's important. One can hypothesize that the more of these light there are, the wider WE can reach. At the very least, it's enough to keep you on track if you travel outside.

Everything returns in full at a certain point when hitting the Las Vegas barrier. There's a difference, however: This barrier is much smaller. A cursory walkabout leads me to believe it doesn't go terribly far away from the Vegas strip.

The hotel offer is entirely legitimate. If you have super powers.

Unfortunately, that walkabout also turned up one disturbing thing - I spotted a creature that most definitely should not have been there. A hairy little creature. No one else seemed to notice it, and it took off before I could get close enough. It was before my time on the Network, but based on what I know... I think it was a Vermini.

As an side: You can smell CLOUDS cigarette smoke from casinos without even being relatively close to them. I practically feel the need to walk around this place with an air freshener as a necklace.

[OOC - Small note to roommates: By the time of posting this, Lily would have informed any of them of all this. Anyone in that vicinity is free to harass her via action for the evening time, as well.]

So more just "hey, you kinda look like that person" more than true stupid fog. Sucks. That would have been super helpful.

Huh. And she can't hide it? And it's only one? That seems like the most useless thing that could be a super awesome thing if she gets it upgraded....

It's at least moderately helpful for the moment anyway, and I'll take all the help I can get.

[She's starting to notice she gets the "only one?" reaction a lot.]

Pretty useful, actually, as she can still fly with it.

Yes, I know. It doesn't make much sense, but neither does my cape.

She can? Sweet! So she gets a bonus for confusion/no one expecting it too.

And if you want to nitpick, none of this makes sense. Par for the course.

So what's the deal with your cape?

I desperately try not to nitpick lately all things considered, but it's hard. It's an old, nasty habit.

But... my cape lets me fly, too.

Something enchanted, then?

Heh, my powers are all magic, or at least one assumes. So I supposed "enchanted" would be about right there.

So it makes sense. All consistent in itself.

So can you summon your cape when you transform? Or do you need to carry it around?

Just like everything else with being a Precure, it all handily vanishes when I'm not transformed. This whole thing would be rather clunky if it didn't, really.

One of the magical girl groups?

So the cape isn't your transform item then, huh? What is? Ring? Compact? Necklace?

Yes, the same one as Winter, Harper, and Annie. Then Jasmine and I - all five of us are Precures. Of course, we've added a few here, but for the actual origins of the powers... that's us.

Compact/pot lid, actually.

I still haven't figured out why it came screwed onto a pot, or what the pot does, mind you.

Pot like a cooking pot?

You don't have cooking themed battles with giant spatulas or something, do you?

[[...actually, that would be pretty cool. And very magical girl....]]

No, that would be... more embarrassing than being powered by flowers. It's just this glass pot.

Mind you, it wouldn't terribly surprise me to see something like that.

But... Jasmine and I throw around a bunch of energy, mostly. Winter freezes things. Annie can throw fire. Harper attacks with music...

Okay, maybe spatulas wouldn't be too far fetched.

So typical magical girl shit, huh?

Honestly, I'm surprised there isn't a magical girl show that's cooking themed. They could do a crossover with Iron Chef.

I don't keep up much with that sort of thing, so who knows. Maybe.

Regardless, either way it's all effective, so that's what matters.
