First Day!

[mikandelinquent]

[Don't mind mama, she's just watching you with Mama Pride. And also surprise. Honey, you're really good at this. ATTA GIRL. :D]

[mikangirl]

[SJKfafas warring between selfconsciousness and ego here, and probably looks it with a look ducked back to Bellemere and then back to what she's doing all pose-y, and then ... deciding in short order she looks ridiculous and grinning as she drops the climatact.]

...I learned a lot.

[mikandelinquent]

I can tell. You never told me just how much, though.

Was it tough to figure out?

[mikangirl]

You could say that.

First time I had a weapon like this, I learned how to use it in the middle of a fight. On the run. Reading instructions off a crumpled piece of paper.

...I got better.

[mikandelinquent]

... Instructions, huh? [p-pfffthrm. No laughing at you, promise. 3:^J]

[mikangirl]

It's not my fault! Usopp's lousy at instructions! He didn't even know how to use the thing correctly!

[YOUR DAUGHTER IS GREAT AT IMPROVISATION, OKAY.]

Anyway, I've had two upgrades since then. This one's all mine. [Pat pat. 8Da]

[mikandelinquent]

[whiiiistles~

Fine no more teasing.]

What else can you do?

[mikangirl]

Hmm. A lot of things weather-related. [Grin.] Let's see... rain, lightning, wind gusts and mirages. To name a few. [I could fry Arlong fifty times over by now, it's awesome.]

[mikandelinquent]

Mirages?

[:|a]

Well, you have to show me that.

[mikangirl]

You know, I can probably demonstrate that without destroying the orchard. [As opposed to...everything else. 8|a] It's just using a layer of cold air to refract the light to your advantage.

[One Piece physics, okay. Don't question them. :|]

[mikandelinquent]

Not destroying the orchard would be good, yeah.

And you're in luck; we have plenty of cold air to work with today.

[mikangirl]

So true! Well, I guess I'll just show you the absolute basics first. Now you see me--

[Magical climatact wave GO. Fading from view and leaving just the disembodied voice of your daughter.]

--now you don't.

[Fishing a mikan from Bellemere's basket all invisible-like and waving the fruit in front of her before it also vanishes.] And I can hide other things with me. It's pretty useful.

[mikandelinquent]

[She claps her hands together, impressed.]

Perfect! Nobody'd know what hit 'em. You better use it for great pranks sooner or later, or I'll be disappointed, young lady.

[mikangirl]

I already have. [Tada! She appears again. (Sort of, anyway.)] I don't think Captain Sparrow will attempt robbing me at swordpoint again.

[mikandelinquent]

Captain Sparrow?

... Huh, I played darts with him the other day.

[mikangirl]

Did you now? [Grin.] Does he know we're related?
