Do you Believe in Magic?

[Evra]

( ouch thats a mean thing for me to come up with xD )

Rein stands there for a moment thinking about what it was before saying something "it was the uhh .. the collection of swords i keep locked in my room and the keys above the case under some books ( only thing i could think of ._. )

[Marky]

Hearing this, Stephanie immediately shot up, eyes wide. "D-dinner d-date?!?!!?" She exclaims, panicking. Getting up to her feet, Stephanie storms around her bedroom a bit, saying something along the lines of: "WhatamIgonnadoIdon'tknowthisguynorhaveIbeenagirlforthatlongIdon'tevenknowhowtoputonmakeuporanythingorknowthisguyornothingaboutthislifeAGH!" She then plops down on the bed in frustration. "Wh-what am I gonna do...?"

[Harri-chan]

"I'm fine... it's just a nosebleed, they always look worse than they are... ", she said to Christine, still holding one hand over her nose. Thankfully, her best friend's red hair was another of those distinctive features that could be made out when you could barely see. "Oww... ", she winced as the girl poked her sore nose. "Coach... could Christine take me from here? She'll make sure I get to the nurse's office... ", she said, in a hopeful tone.

On the one hand, of course, the guy was right--Paulette hadn't the slightest idea what the thing did; just that this weird looking guy might be interested in makeup, given that he was already wearing some liptstick. On the other hand, this guy was also a weirdo who didn't look nearly as good as he seemed to think he did, and talked in a way that made her feel like she was undereducated or something.

"Well...it's a makeup case. Maybe it never runs out?"

She gives a sharp shrug...but from what the guy can see, the case does not seem to be offering up any of its secrets. The design seems somewhat antiquated, but inside it seems to have the basics of what any makeup kit should have--namely makeup--and it all seems to be in pretty good supply and condition considering having just been buried in the mess that was the store.

Oh, nothing in particular... Like I said, I was just sort of curious about what this place is about.

Turning away from the man in black, Paulette gives Richard another small, cold smile. It rather matches her bone-white complexion.

"Okay...well, you're here for magic then...so..."

Holding up the wand she'd offered previously to the guy in black, Paulette gives a small shrug.

"Maybe this would be good for you? Or, say, one of these?"

Scrambling back to the main desk, she pulls out a brightly-colored egg from a box she'd carried out from the back just a little while before. She felt a bit silly running around like this, but the faster she sold things off, the faster she'd be able to stop playing shop-girl, at least in theory...

[Mystic Mina]

"... Rein? It's you, isn't it? Oh God, what happened to you?" Rein's mom moves her hand up to stroke her new daughter's face, her eyes welling up with tears. "Is this... Is this all real? You're not just dressing up like a girl to scare your old mother, are you?"

---

It turned out that Stephanie needed to do absolutely nothing at all. Her body, as if it sensed her distress, suddenly began to move on its own, moving itself off the bed and into the closet, which housed a mind boggling number of outfits. With smooth grace and perfect precision, she removed her office attire and slipped into a daring black dress that accented her form's curves, while at the same time stepping into a pair of shoes with heels that were almost impossibly high.

---

"Yeah, she'll take you. I'll tell the school that you're excused for the rest of the day too. I suppose it will be the last thing I do before they fire me." The coach let out a sad sigh, but a there was a look of... Relief?... On her face. "It'll be worth it, though. Esper deserves it for putting all of you through her crap."

"Coach... Thanks. Thanks for everything." Christine said right before she gave the large woman the biggest hug she could muster. "Come on, Mandy. Let's go."

[Harri-chan]

Mandy grasped Christine's hand tightly and felt the gloom being lifted almost immediately. She realised how much she'd missed her old friend in those years since school has ended, and Esper's bullying was worth taking to be back with Christine. "Did you pick up my glasses? They're pretty broken up, and I can't see a thing... well, apart from your pretty hair", she smiled. "Kinda suprising coach stood up for me, huh? I thought she loved Esper like everyone else in this school".

[Evra]

Rein sighs "mom yes it's real but it should only last for a while longer before i turn back to me" she says before trying to communicate with the voice "you said i would revert back to a guy when the blessing wears off right?"

Turning away from the man in black, Paulette gives Richard another small, cold smile. It rather matches her bone-white complexion.

"Okay...well, you're here for magic then...so..."

Holding up the wand she'd offered previously to the guy in black, Paulette gives a small shrug.

That egg looks kinda cool. What's it do?

[Marky]

As Stephanie's body suddenly began to move on its own, she began to panic even more! However, as soon as her body headed on over to the closet, Stephanie began to calm down...just a bit. When the daring black dress was slipped on, though, Stephanie couldn't help but blush deeply, and as the shoes with quite high heels were slipped on, she frowned, wondering whether or not she was really going to be able to walk in them at all, or not.

[Mystic Mina]

"Yep, I have them right here. Not sure how much good they'll do you in this state, though." Christine held up Mandy's shattered glasses, but she almost dropped them again when she heard her friend complement her hair. Her cheeks reddened as she played around with the broken piece of eye wear. "O-Oh, thanks! It took me forever to get it like this, but I'll do it everyday if you like it! Eheh..."

---

It's been centuries since I've ever blessed anyone, but it should!... Probably... Possibly... But you have nothing to fear! Male or female, you will always have the strength of a Valkyrie at your side!

"Um... Rein, who are you talking to?" Rein's mom asked her former son, worry apparent in her quavering voice. "Oh no, you're not going crazy now are you?"

---

Despite never having walked in high heels a day in her life, Stephanie strode out of her clothing closet like a pro, her hips waving to and fro with each step.

The next stop was the vanity cabinet, where she then started to automatically apply a modest amount of make-up to her face. A touch of red lip-stick there, some blush here, a little mascara elsewhere...

[Evra]

Rein shakes her head "no no dont worry it's fine it's just along story id really not like to discuss" she says sitting back down on the couch "err mom if i DIDNT change back by some wierd coincedence how would you feel?

[Marky]

A little relieved at being able to walk in the high heels, Stephanie then began to blush a bit as her body put make-up on her face. However, there wasn't really much for her to do, and it wasn't as if she knew how to do what her body was currently automatically doing. So, for the time being, she just let herself stay on autopilot, and hope the results come out good.

That egg looks kinda cool. What's it do?

"Ahh-this, well..."

Paulette drops the wand into the box, instead holding the brightly-colored egg more into the light of the store.

"This...maybe it'll hatch into something?"

Of course, for all the girl knew, this egg might just be a leftover candy from Easter...but unlike the man in black, this guy seemed like he wouldn't be able to criticize her lack of knowledge.
It occurred to Paulette that this kind of thing was swindling, as she held the egg up, of course...but what o people come in here for, if not be to swindled? She certainly hadn't been expecting any magic. Hell, if she'd been swindled, she'd probably be home now, and a lot more comfortable besides.

"...Only $7.99 and you can find out."

...Okay, sure. Why not? *Richard pulls out his wallet and hands Paulette the required money.*

[Victorious]

Though Paulette could think of several good reasons why not...in the end, she voices none of them, instead just taking the offered money with a smile.

"Alright--here you are!"

Handing the egg over to the man carefully, Paulette pauses, and then jams the money under one corner of the cash register--she'd figure out how to operate that thing later.
