Oi, this is Yuma! Er, this is not Yuma! I mean, this is a recital 'cos I'm not Yuma-- I mean--

Just leave a message, alright?!

Yuma...

[he takes a step forward before stopping himself, not really sure what he was going to do or say. the mood had gone sombre, and something needed to be done otherwise it would be still and silent and uncomfortable]

We don't need to like it. We just need to deal with it for now.

[soulbondee]

Yeah.

[he looks for a moment at the orca, then to shark.]

You figure out your powers yet?

[baited]

...maybe.

[gestures to the orca]

I said the fish kept following me around at the aquarium, right?

[soulbondee]

Yeah? So you're a fish magnet?

[baited]

[scowls]

No. When I figured out how weird it was, I found out I could kind of control them. Some of them, at least.

It sounds stupid when I say it.

[soulbondee]

Control 'em? Like, you can tell 'em what to do, and they will?

[baited]

I just told them to back off and leave me alone, and then had to call them back because it was bothering people that they couldn't see the fish.

It could have been bad timing. I don't know.

[soulbondee]

Huh...

You wanna test it out?

[baited]

...

[a moment of thinking!]

Alright. Where?

[soulbondee]

There's a pet shop not too far away. They've got fish. And-- [gesturing a little with the orca] --you don't have to buy anything to get in.

[baited]

[8|]

That's not-- fine. I'll get my shoes.

[8|||-- wait a second]

Hey, Yuma...

[soulbondee]

Yeah?

[baited]

What are your powers?

[soulbondee]

Um... I can make stuff outta other stuff. And I never run out of rice balls.

[baited]

[...that's actually really unsurprising

walking off to get his shoes and talking behind him]

What kind of stuff?

[soulbondee]

Anything! But I don't always know what it's going to be before I try.

[baited]

Seems kind of backwards.

[soulbondee]

Oi, it's not like I picked how it works!

[baited]

[tap tap. shoes get]

Let's go. You can explain on the way.
