Who: Luci Edwards, and you!
Where: Near and around downtown
When: 4/10
What: Mad make-up kit on the lose!
Warnings: Fashion disasters all over the place

[After taking care of a few things that were essential to her re-entry into Locke--talking to someone about school options, wandering around and seeing if anyone around was hiring--Luci was exhausted. Folder full of applications tucked under her arm, she ducked into a café for a bit of a recharge.

Sitting down at a table, the blond deflated a bit, ready to relax with a book (she always kept one in her purse), maybe a cup of coffee. A giant make-up kit chasing people down on the streets.

Wait, what?

Much like the rest of the people in the café, Luci stood up, gaping at the window in time to catch a poor innocent bystander get tackled by the compact on a rampage, which slammed her against the wall.

The aftermath wasn't pretty. A human-shaped outline in different-colored powders adorning the wall, what was left was a person, dazed, their face a product of some four-year old's I-just-found-mommy's-makeup-let's-be-pretty disaster. Looking proud of itself, the kit toddled off, looking for its next makeover victim.

What in the world... She should... probably do something... Locke City, what are you doing.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[That much was apparent from Luci's spellcasting from earlier, but Lucy's still glad to hear it from the other girl's mouth.

Hands balled into little fists in front of her, she gives the other Luci a firm nod.]

All right! I'll do as you say.

[Lucy turns towards the creature and waves her arms wildly.]

Hey! You!

[The creature abruptly turns to face her.]

I bet there's no way you can catch me!

[The makeup box opens, then closes.]

Yeah! I bet you couldn't attack me if you tried!

[The makeup box appears to be considering this. Then, after a moment of consideration, it barrels towards her, though at a much slower speed than before.

Challenge accepted, apparently.]

[This was never going to work.

This thing couldn't be stupid enough to chase after someone using such blatant diversionary tactics.

And yet, Luci was proven wrong in almost a "yeah whatever, I'm bored" sort of sense, it would seem. The blond stared.

All right, let's try this. In theory, it would work. In practice, she wasn't too sure, and if it didn't, she is so very sorry, Lucy.

Two spells hurdled at the make-up kit, locking it in place and placing it right next to a prismatic ball.]

OUT OF THE WAY!

[Luci took a deep breath, standing there. At first it seemed like nothing was happening, then, her hair moving in a non-existent breeze, her feet slowly lifted off the ground, a ball of light hovering at her chest.]

Okay!

[Lucy doesn't need to be told twice! She quickly scrambles away from the paralyzed creature, and stumbling behind a bus stop bench. Crouched behind it, she watches, wide-eyed and curious as the blonde begins once more to use her magic.

Anais had said that she was able to do magic. Did that mean that someday, she'd be able to use magic, too? Just like Anais and this girl?]

[She is so sorry, Marisa. She'll probably be getting you in trouble inadvertently.

Necklace moving violently at her chest, she took a deep breath, a bead of light appearing.

So much power. Too much power. She felt like she couldn't contain it, like it was going to rip her apart. And just as it threatened to tear her in two, it burst out from her necklace, pendant shattering from the sheer force of it.

It was rather short, in the grand scheme of things, but still fearsome in its own right. A beam of rainbow-colored light fired from her core, knocking the blond from the air. She landed on her backside, but even that little bit did quite a bit of damage to the make-up kit.

The back was cracked, and mirror nearly gone. The various articles inside began to flee along with the main kit, flapping and crying the entire way.

Laying on her back was Luci, arms spread out, whole body feeling a bit numb after the fact.

Whoa. Yeah, she was not doing that again anytime soon.]

[Once the kit is nearly obliterated, Lucy rushes over to the other Luci, eyes wide with an even mix of concern and awe.]

Are you -- Are you okay?

[She extends a hand for the blonde to grab.]

That was awesome!

[She's laughing a little bit. That was so awesome, but she's going to be feeling it shortly.

But oh man.]

I think so.

So I guess you're one of the Numbered, too, huh?

[Normal people generally don't have a strong grasp on magic.]

I'm Lucy Kesswick.

[Lucy?

She slowly sits up. Whoa, head rush.]

That's right. You too?

Luci. Luci Edwards.

[Lucy smiles a little at that.]

Yeah! I don't have any powers yet, though.

That magic you did... it was incredible! How long have you known you were one of the Numbered?

That's okay, not everyone starts with them. It'll come in time.

Mmm... Since October, but I left for a few months.

Yeah! I'm sure of it. I've already met two people who knew the other me, and they can do magic, too!

[Lucy is clearly excited by the prospect.]

Why did you leave, though?
