ilyana | [Video/Action - Backdated to Christmas Morning] Magical Cake

[The journal shows Ilyana waking out of bed in her jammies, rubbing her eyes to a snowy Christmas morning. A present is at the foot of her bed, and when she sees what it is, her eyes widen in delight.]

C-Cake!

[Before her is a giant, multi-layered Christmas cake, that goes all the way up to the ceiling of her room on the 6th floor of housing building 3, in the apartment she shares with Chun-Li. Unable to resit the hunger inside of her and the sheer joy of having a giant cake just for her on Christmas day, she runs a dainty finger along the side to taste a bit of the frosting. She absolutely shivers in delight at the sweet taste of that layer of the cake's frosting, only to blink in surprise when she sees the frosting on the cake replace itself.]

W-What?

[Experimentally she takes a handful of the cake into her mouth, discovering that it was the exact flavor she was hoping it would be. Then to her unparalleled delight, the cake repairs itself again, as if the handful she took out was never missing.]

Magical cake?!

[Once more she decides to experiment with it, not even realizing she's being recorded on the journal. She dives head first into the cake, tunneling her way through it to the other side, and eating her way out, just because she's always wanted to do that without consequences. She pokes her head out of the other side of the cake, laughing in glee as she slowly wriggles out of the cake. As if on cue, the cake reassembles itself, and spits out any traces of dirt she might have left behind.

Ilyana finally spots the journal, as she's covered head to toe in hundreds of different flavors of cakes. She smiles sheepishly at the Journal, and just holds out a hand covered in frosting.]

Anybody want some magic cake? I think I'm going to be here all day with it once I'm showered off.

(ooc: Ilyana has been given a magical Christmas cake that is any flavor the eater wishes it to be. Chocolate cake, vanilla cake, sponge cake, strawberry shortcake, pumpkin cake, carrot cake, cheese cake, fish cake... anything. It automatically repairs itself, so has an unlimited supply. What's the catch? Its magic only works on Christmas day, and at the stroke of 12 it all goes up into thin air. Anyone is welcome to come have some of her cake, as she's feeling pretty generous now that she has an unlimited supply. Ever wanted to have your cake and eat it too? NOW YOU CAN! Can take place before or after Ilyana's shower.)

Umm... well I have to assume he knows how to cook if he made this... right? I mean... it does taste pretty good. I'd probably need test subjects to figure out if the magical effects work for whomever eats it though...

Hmm... this cake just go even more interesting.

[Ilyana seems to be taking down notes now, examining her cake with great interest... while still occasionally shoving bits of it into her mouth.]

Even tasty, normal-looking meals can be a source of food poisoning. Encouragin others to eat it might not be the best idea just yet.

[Then again, she doesn't look sick at the moment...]

You know... you're awfully pessimistic about my Christmas cake.

...Dealing with the Malnosso has left me somewhat wary of gifts with no downsides, I'm afraid.

Edited 2012-12-30 21:06 (UTC)

Oh... I hadn't thought about that...

[She glances over her shoulder at the wings under her jammies.]

I just assumed that from all the talk of Santa and things that... surely it wasn't just... I'm not too gullible am I?

[Yet... even despite all this... she still seems to be eating the cake >_>]

Perhaps, perhaps not. For all we know that Santa person might be here along with us, after all.

[Oh dear. He's starting to wonder if it's been enchanted to be addictive.]

Well actually... I've met him... Santa I mean.

...In Luceti or in your home world?

Luceti actually... he doesn't actually exist in my world. Neither does the holiday of Christmas.

If he's here, would that not means that he cannot deliver his presents in his original world? That sounds rather sad.

... Eh?! I-I hadn't even thought of that!!!

P-Poor Santa... I had no idea... I just thought that...

(ooc: Wow Cecil... you're a real kill joy this Christmas :|)

But once he returns home, surely he'll manage to do so on time? The Malnosso could not possibly be cruel enough to return him too late to do his work.

((ooc: Being a kill joy is a high-level paladin feat. I thought everyone knew that. :|))

I... maybe you're right...

[A smile does start to find it's way back to her face through the tears.]

It has been one of my longstanding theories that people return home nearly at the exact same spot they'd left.

((ooc: Sorry, Fire Emblem Paladins only get a vampiric attack at high levels :|))

That's extremely likely. Otherwise, I would have been aware of the absence of a few friends a long time ago.

[...Beyond their normal absences, that is.]

((ooc: Guess it's level-grinding time, then. :|))

Who are your friends here in Luceti?

[And she's back to eating her cake again. This girl never seems to stop.]

Kain and Rydia, my housemates. I also had family members here, people who've not left my side at home.

[Goodness, that thing really has been enchanted to be addictive.]

Kain and Rydia...

[She lamented the fact that she was so terrible with names, that she probably wouldn't remember.]

What do all of you do back home? Are you knights? Or um... I suppose each of you might have different career choices.

Kain is a dragoon, and Rydia is a summoner. Two essential part of any talented combat group.

Did you say she's... a summoner? Like the kind that summons spirits and the like? That is a very rare form of magic to master... and incredibly taxing on the wielder... she must be quite something.

[For once, something their games have in common \o/ Except summoners use black magic in her world... oh wait... NOT THE FIRE LIGHTNING KIND OF BLA- you know what, just forget it xD]

If I might ask what is a dragoon?

That she is. She's made pacts with the most powerful Eidolons there are, and she did so by defeating them in combat.

[Unavoidable culture clash. It's a jamjar, can't be helped.]

A dragoon is a warrior that fights using a lance and has a bond with dragons. They're a very old and respected military tradition.

That is incredibly impressive. I'd love to meet her someday if I get the opportunity.

[Yuuuup.]

Wait... fights with a Lance and has a bond with Dragons?! Do they wear sort of darker armor, with wing tipped helmets, and ride wyvern mounts? Because that sounds a lot like the draco knights I knew back home.

[It's uncanny how much Haar looks like Kain when he's in his full armor. http://images.wikia.com/fireemblem/images/7/7d/FE9_Wyvern_Lord_(Haar).png]

Mounts are not common, but the rest of your description does match them extremely well. Could it be that both of our world merely chose different names for the same tradition?

[Oh, wow. They could be identical twins.]

It seems quite possible! I think our worlds may actually be pretty close to each other actually, like perhaps at one point in history, some people from my world found a way to yours, and adapted to the ways of your world while still keeping some of their traditions... Or perhaps vice versa even.

I mean your world also has summoners that use black magic, right? I don't think that's quite that universal a thing to be just coincidence.

[Ilyana... their summoner who uses black magic looks like this. Your summoners look like this, using black magic that looks like this :| You're just falling for some faulty wording.]

They use black magic indeed, though Rydia also has some talent for white magic spells... Selphie's world had some spells in common with mine, too. Could it be that we'd be able to chain all worlds together through similarities, somehow? That'd explain why we were all brought here.

[...His summoners are definitely prettier. By far.]
