I want to try something first! Because I don't think they should be broken just like that...!
[
She smiles and she knows it's not something that will happen, because things don't magically transform. At least, maybe the do in Aather. But not home. It's something you have to work for and struggle for.
So instead she thinks long and hard about everything: It's not the same-- she knows-- her life is blissfully nice, but she remembers being bullied. Bein told she couldn't possibly be a girl and the years of self-loathing that came with it. She's not a girl-- after all-- she can't be cute. She's not special and all she'll amount to is sports.
And she loves sports, but sometimes she wanted to wear cute dressed and hairstyles. Would she ever get to?
She would. And it was scary and difficult. She was pushed to be the leader, the center of Muse. Maki and Hanayo... Told her she was allowed to be cute and was the girliest of them all, and she wanted with all of her heart to believe them.
And then Amethyst, too, pushed her and encouraged her to wear the cute dress she wore know as the uniform. You could change and it'd be scary and hurt, but you weren't alone. And it's this message she wants to pass to Lucky and her heart as she-- once more-- begins to sing. But it's her song about her transformation. ]
It’s time to welcome the day I’ve always been waiting for!
But is it okay for me to feel this happy?
Led by the light, this path I walk down
continues into the future, it’s filled with hopes, isn’t it?
Can anyone be cute? Of course they can!
Even I made a huge… transformation!
Love wing… love wing
That’s why I’ll make you happy and with that smile
we’ll sing, we’ll sing! I’ll make you happy!
Don’t feel hesitant, look towards your dream.
If you’re with everyone you love you can do new things!
Let’s change ourselves, we’ll be able to reach further!
Come, I can see our future!
Love wing… love wing
Leave all your hesitations behind and straighten your back!
Isn’t it great? Then start enjoying all the wonderful things!
Shined upon by the light, this is a new me I don’t know.
Even if just for today I want to stay as wonderful as I can!
Everyone can also be cute! I’m sure you can!
Even I made a huge… transformation!
That’s right, every girl will get their day they become a princess.
So happy, very happy! It’s like magic!
From this surprise, my dream starts to move.
Loving is important, it can make you do wonderful things!
Let’s change ourselves and let’s search for our next stage!
Come, what kind of me will I be tomorrow?
Love bell… love bell…
That’s why I’ll make you happy and with that smile
we’ll sing, we’ll sing! I’ll make you happy!
Don’t feel hesitant, look towards your dream.
If you’re with everyone you love you can do new things!
Let’s change ourselves, we’ll be able to reach further!
Come, I can see our future!
Love wing… love bell…
[ Reaches to gently try and touch a flower as she sings. Maybe with enough energy and love they can transform too! ]

[ Does it feel like anything? ]
[ It feels like a knife. ]
[Unsure if she wants to get wet, but... fish... and gem blood. She takes a moment to wrap her hand with a bit of the torn 'kerchief and then takes off her boots and rolls her pants up so she can at least wade into the water to see what's up with that disappearing act.]
[Yes good.]
[How about we....go investigate that blinking light. Look for anything that says play or that little arrow symbol, pretty sure that plays stuff.]

[ Alas, the rose does not transform. Unfortunately, all the edges of the roses are extremely sharp, drawing blood that begins dripping to the ground before you're even aware you've been cut.
As your blood soaks into the soil, another rose bush starts to grow from the spot. This bush is not glass, but normal growing plant, and it entwines itself around the nearest glass rose bush, attempting to choke it. Somehow, the new roses are not damaged by the glass.
As its growth slows, the glass rose bush cracks and begins to crumble, and the new bush begins to flower, vivid and unnatural pink-and-amethyst roses blossoming and releasing strong but not overpowering smell of roses undercut with copper. ]

[ LUCKY'S HEART HOW RUDE.
She's just going to stubbornly sit here (and wrap the area she just cut, but details). ]

[ The first few steps are normal, Karen wading in after you with your boots in her arms, and then the bottom of the pond seems to vanish from underneath you, and you sink much faster than normally, the water almost immediately closing over your head. ]
[ There is indeed a little arrow symbol! When you press the button, two voices start speaking. The first voice, even through the static and the poor quality of the recording, is clearly Lucky, and the second is an unidentified man. ]
Toby Daye Investigations, Toby Daye speaking, what is it now, Cliff?
[ a brief pause ] How did you know it was me?
Because the only other people who use this number are Uncle Sylvester and Ms. Winters, and they know I"m on a stakeout, which means they're not calling. [ despite the words, she sounds affectionate ] What is it this time?
Gilly wanted me to call and tell you she loves you and hopes you'll be home in time for dinner, and that you should bring back ice cream. Chocolate would be best.
She's watching you make the call, isn't she?
You better believe it. If she wasn't, I would've just called Information. But you know how she gets. She's got ears like a rabbit. [ he chuckles ] That's from your side of the family, you know.
Most good things are, but yes, she gets her hearing from me. [ there's a pause, then a whispered curse that's not quite audible ] Cliff, the guy I'm after just came out of the restaurant. I gotta go. Tell Gilly I love her, and that I promise I'll stop for ice cream on my way home.
You don't love me?
I love you more than fairy tales.
[ the message ends and the machine clicks off before automatically rewinding to the beginning of the tape. ]

[ Lucky's heart is very rude.
May presses against the air ]
It's weaker! However you grew that, it definitely worked.

[Toby Daye. That's kind of pretty, actually.]
[Also cute family things, why didn't it end better? ):]
[....gonna check the freezer for ice cream.]

If we have to do it like that...
No! I'll find another way, because that's mean!
No! I'll find another way, because that's mean!
[ There is no ice cream, just an ice tray and a frozen pizza ]
So is faerie. [ Karen is quiet, and a little sad. ] And you can't separate her entirely from faerie, it's in her blood.
[ Leftover takeout, half a carton of nearly-expired milk, and a couple beers ]
No one's been mean so far! She's not mean to me at all!
But everything here is a part of her. So if it means destroying each other then that's mean!
But everything here is a part of her. So if it means destroying each other then that's mean!
It's not really about mean, just... there are things in faerie that are not bad or good, they just are. But they hurt, if you're not careful. And sometimes doing the right thing hurts.
[ May looks apologetic ]
You don't have to. She'd never make anyone do it, but bringing life to something that had no life before hurts, sometimes.

[Welp.]
[...what if I put the frozen pizza in the microwave, I CAN DO THIS, see people use these things plenty of times.]

[ It doesn't seem to do much. But now there's pizza, so that's something? ]
[I will bring the pizza to whatever table is nearest echo daughter and put it there. It's not ice cream, but food is still homey. o9]
[ It's the coffee table. She doesn't react, but maybe she'll eat it after you're gone ]
But that's true for everyone!
[ She folds her arms and kind of sits there defiantly. ]
There's more than hurting and that's all this shows! I won't let her believe that's what it is... because they're really pretty both ways! That's why...
Mm! We should encourage her a lot! Because if you're together with everyone then the change doesn't hurt so much... because they support you! That's what it's really about!

The glass ones are choking her.
[ Karen catches her eye and smiles a bit ]
No one expects you to go cutting yourself open all over, but that's why your roses made the glass roses crumble - you care about her, and the glass roses are hurting her.
[ That's part of the story, anyway. ]
