Characters: Ursula Callistis... and you!?
Date: February 1
Location: Aifaran
Situation: Ursula is trying to figure out Aifaran works. It goes okay?
Warnings/Rating: None at the moment!

[Ursula isn't really used to Aifaran. She hasn't even been here a day -- and she only had time to really drop her stuff off at her new house, unable to even meet the people she is living with -- before she decided to set out into the city. It's a wondrous place, and she has her communicator for questions. But, really, she needed to see for herself. Which is what led her to a long walk.

And, winding through the city, she's found her way to one of the port areas. The wind is blustery here, so close to the ocean. The waves are beating against the breakers, and the steady chop chop chop of their lapping against the ocean distracts her. Ursula slows to a stop, but a hand is placed firmly on her head. Her wide-brimmed witch's hat threatens to blow right off.

She keeps a grip, and looks out. She sees the Aisling Tower: distant, white, and stark. It's a sliver against the sky from here.]

Ah... it's so pretty! [She exclaims it aloud -- and there's a crowd about. Maybe not the best decision.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[More sophisti--

Ursula stares, making quite the face.]

Because it's... pun-based...?

[You can take the girl out of the French countryside but you can't take the French countryside out of the girl.]

It's from a superior world.

[ This would be more of a tossup given she's only run into one (1) sentence ender user here, but this world also hasn't immediately instated her as head prince of everything she cares about and also, there is no PriPara.

You win this one, native puniverse. Besides: ]

I'm here to spread news of its splendor.

O-oh. And that would be... erm... your world?

[She blinks down at Hibiki. There is a hint of a smile, though.

She thinks this is sort of fun.]

And the splendors of your world, too? Which splendors are those, if I might ask? I'll never pass up a chance to learn.

Then, allow me to tell you.

[ Hibiki bows, spins, and poses. With a rose. From nowhere. ]

About the wonders of PriPara!

[ NOW THERE'S A SPOTLIGHT

from nowhere

There's also sparkling, but it's pretty obvious that's coming from Hibiki. ]

[Ursula yelps, and then covers her mouth with her hand. She looks up, to see the source of the roses and the spotlight. She cannot. She looks back at Hibiki, then, and she tilts her head.

Her mouth hangs open.]

Pr--PriPara? What--what is that?

Is this another popular trend that I blinked and missed!?

[The life of a teacher.]

PriPara has a grand and glorious history.

[ Hibiki kisses the rose before offering it to Ursula. ]

Look into my eyes - and behold.

[ Obviously the best thing the current incarnation of PriPara has to offer is Shikyoin Hibiki. Therefore, if this person fully comes to comprehend the magnificence of Shikyoin Hibiki, love for PriPara shall also be kindled within her heart. ]

[A-a grand a glorious history! Ursula leans forward, because she thinks maybe Hibiki will require her to, to display an illusion. She leans in; the teacher's glasses slip down her nose, red eyes staring down.

Curious. Intense.

Confused.]

I'm not sure if I'm beholding properly!

Then, look deeper.

[ Hibiki leans forward to, so Ursula's line of sight will be full of nothing but her. The sparkles intensify. There is even a little twinkly noise in the air. ]

Now...

[ WITH EVERY PASSING SECOND, SHE GETS MORE HANDSOME ]

[WHAT IS THIS SORCERY.

Ursula squeaks when she realizes -- and it's a little ridiculous, how a twenty-four year-old woman leaps back and puts a hand over her mouth.]

Incredible! S-So PriPara is the use of magic to temporarily enhance one's appearance, and astound them with it!?

[dot dot dot]

Among other things.

[ ...granted, what just happened was all her, but. ]

It is a world of ideals made reality. A perfect Paradise!

[ It's an idol theme park. But you won't be hearing that from this particular public prilations delegate. ]

Of course, I am already close to ideal.

H-How amazing! What makes the ideals reality? Oh, is there a specific set of magical spells or--are you being metaphorical?

[It's important to not assume.

Though, she smiles a little at the end.]

Of course! You seem to have practiced it extensively, Miss...?

Shikyoin Hibiki.

[ Said with the obvious relish of someone bestowing a treat to an eager audience. ]

I hope to hold a fuller demonstration very soon.

It's a pleasure, Miss Hibiki. I'm Ursula Callistis. I was, previously, a professor at Luna Nova.

[She smiles. She is curious -- for more reasons than she lets on. It's hard to let go of the desire to be a performer, sometimes.]

Oh, are you? What sort of demonstration? Or would that spoil the surprise?

I'll leave you to savor your anticipation.

[ But she knows you'll never be able to imagine its entire greatness. The stirring message, her alluring person -! Heights previously unreached by a human leg! ]

[Ursula laughs, in a good natured way.]

Well, then! I'll just have to look forward to it. I'd ask you to make sure I know when it is, but I feel like I couldn't miss it.

You understand already.

[ This whole conversation is extremely satisfying.

But, to top it off.....May she kneel and kiss your hand? That usually works on teachers. ]

Au revoir, Miss Ursula.

[SO STYLISH.

Ursula laughs, thoroughly charmed. She's impressed. She takes her hand back, afterward, and then nods cheerfully.]

I'll see you later, then, Miss Hibiki.

[ Hibiki chuckles back and salutes with a wink before attempting to stroll off coolly into the crowd.

That was an extremely successful bout of public prilations! She shall spread the wonder of PriPara to this puniverse in record time - without even feeling rushed. Any objective she decides upon shall become reality.

That is the power of a genius. ]
