Hello, everyone. My name is Naminé and I have a very small question for anyone willing to give an answer.

[ At first her voice starts out pretty small, but as she speaks more she seems more certain of what she wants to ask. ]

I've had some wonderful people offer to help me learn more about magic here. So I'd really like to narrow down what kind to focus on at first. Would anyone be willing to share their experience?

Either with magic they've learned here or what you may know back home! What gave you found to be the most helpful? The thing that's best helped you to protect and help your friends?

Any answer, long or small, is equally appreciated. Thank you so much.

I'm sure it'll be great! [ Not just because she doesn't have a ton to compare it to either! After a bit of deliberation she points to the far left. ]

How about the second one from the left?

[Lyney pulls out the card and lays it carefully before her on the screen; it’s a Four of Diamonds.]

Excellent choice! Now, I’m going to take this card, and put it back on top of the deck like this…

[He makes a show of scooping up the cards back into a deck, then places her card on top. He then shuffles the deck; keeping the deck visible to her, though his shuffling is quite flashy. Then, he fans the cards out in front of him on the table.]

Alright! Now… I’m going to pull your card from the deck. Watch carefully…

[He pulls one card out… and it’s blank.]

Huh..?

[He does another, and it, too, is blank. Lyney blinks in bewilderment, before chuckling.]

Oh dear! It seems as though our magic was too much! For you see… none of these are your card!

[He then flicks the cards with a sweep of his hand, flipping the row of cards and revealing all of them are blank.]

[ She watches with ever widening enraptured eyes as he continues on with his performance. Basically she's on the edge of her seat, it's too bad he can't fully see her scooting closer to the screen. Well, maybe he can since her face gets closer.

When he finishes she applauds with enthusiasm. ]

That was amazing!!

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

[Even if it’s through a screen, Lyney basks in the attention and awe that Naminé is giving him.]

Thank you, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed this little trick! But that still leaves the mystery of your missing card. Hmm, I wonder where it could be…

[Lyney makes a show of thinking for a moment, before he seemingly gets an idea.]

Ah, of course!

[He then removes his hat from his head, giving it a little twirl. And after a wiggle, out from the hat pops a grinning cat wearing its own little hat, who is holding Naminé’s card in its little paws.]

And voila!

[obliviscere]

It seems like more than a little trick! I knew someone else who did card tricks and yours are much better than his ever were!

[ Somewhere Luxord is crying. She claps again at the flourish as the trick is finished. ]

You've got an assistant too!

Lyney and Luxord CR is something I never thought I would ever need LOL

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

Is that so? Well, I would love to meet him if I could. It sounds like we could learn a lot from each other!

[He offers her a little bow, and the portly cat meows happily from within Lyney's hat.]

Why yes, Rosseland here is one of my many assistants! Sometimes I wonder if he likes performing magic more than I do!

the cr wold be great and I'd love to see a Luxord

[obliviscere]

I'm not really sure if you would like to meet him. But I'm also not entirely sure about him.

[ He's not the worst by far of the ground but she's also not always sure what to make of him at all. ]

Well, Rosseland seems like a pretty fantastic assistant to me!

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

Hmm, he seems like quite a complicated character, given your reaction of him.

[It's a curious comment, for sure. One that makes Lyney's own instincts perk up at the possible tidbit of knowledge, but he decides now's probably not the time to dig into it. Especially if the guy isn't even here. Instead, he plucks the card from Rosselan's paws and smiles at Naminé.]

Oh he certainly is! He's as skillful as he is adorable, wouldn't you say?

[Rosseland meows again, before diving back into Lyney's hat, which he then replaces onto his head. With a sweep of his hand, he collects all the cards as well.]

While this isn't exactly magic, per se, it's still a spectacle, wouldn't you agree?

[obliviscere]

That's...one way to describe it. To be honest, I don't think any of us know nearly enough about him.

[ It's...strange. Most of the others have something they've learned but not him. Even after all this time. ]

I think it's impossible for him to not be at least a tiny bit more adorable than skillful.

[ To cute to not say that ranks above any skills he might have, sorry ]

It's great! There's something really fun about it.

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

Is that so? Well, I'm afraid that's only spurred my curiosity. Perhaps one day our paths will cross.

[He chuckles a bit, making the deck of cards vanish with a flick of his hand. Afterwards, he rests his chin on his palm as he observes Naminé on the screen.]

Heheh, it's alright! Rosseland enjoys stealing the spotlight as much as I do! And he's much more adorable than me, so I don't mind at all.

But nevertheless, I'm glad you enjoyed my little display! And unlike the real magic of my world that's gifted from the gods, this type of magic can be taught to anyone who's got the drive and skill to do so.
