Sibylla couldn't help but watch, it was an interesting spectacle, but a depressing one as well. The gryphoness couldn't even imagine what would drive somepony to suicide, such a drastic measure. In her inattentive state she places a block on her tower that makes it tip, then slowly fall toward Moonshine's structure. As with most things of this nature she realizes a few moments into it, far too late to stop the collapse of her structurally unsound tower into Moonshine's tower. Perhaps his can take the hit, perhaps not. Sibylla winces regardless, closing both eyes then slowly opening one as the sound dies down. |

"Celestia save us. Fireflare, your friends. They're all nuts." Wishing Star glanced at her textbooks before deciding that they could wait until later. Sitting down with Sibylla and Moonshine, she surveyed the wreckage and gave her son a wry look. "What! Birdy, you ruined it!" the colt wailed as the towers collapsed, falling to nothing in a cacophony of sliding wood and youthful despair. "Uh-oh. Don't worry, Moony. I'm sure she's sorry. Do you want me to show you the easy way to fix it?" asked Wishing Star, picking Moonshine up before he decided that this particular disaster was worth bursting into tears over and cuddling him. "There no easy way to fix this! It's gonna take forrevvverrrrr!" he moaned, fixated on lamenting the premature destruction of his project. The only one who got the push over his block castles was him, and woe betide anypony who did it by accident. "Oh yes there is. Watch mommy." said Wishing Star as her horn started to glow. Half of the block pile lifted itself into the air and was sorted by shape, before coming back down in a series of small groups. Flat blocks for a foundation, then pillars. Then two large half-moons. Then more pillars. In very short order indeed, a tall tower stood in the middle of the floor; it was very simple, and not nearly as magnificent as many of Moony's creations, but the speed with which it had been built was a house record. "Wow. That was cool, Mommy. How did you do that?" cooed Moonshine, fascinated by the rapid building technique and the light show that had accompanied it. "Do you want me to show you how?" his mother asked, looking down at the colt she held against her chest and smiling fondly. "Yeah!" "Okay then. Listen carefully and try to do as I do..." |

"...Are you going to pass out yet?" "I have a Shteel stomach!" "...I'm going to have to sit here and watch you all night, aren't I." "Naaaaaaaaaaa I'll jush ramble drunkenly till I cansh think." "Flapper Jack?" "Yesh?" "You are getting sleepy." "Hahaha! Good on Fireflare... Not as funny a joke as it all, but funny." "...Flapper Jack, I have foals. They need their madre to watch them. The best way to protect them is for me to get back to them and I can't do that if I'm watching my drunken friend to make sure he doesn't kill himself. Ergo, the best way to protect those ponies is for you to fall asleep now." "...Dash a low blooooooow." "Yes. Yes it is. And quite frankly I don't care. You come to my house completely shloshed and depressed enough to consider suicide, I resort to extreme measures. That's what friends do. At least, my friends. So you're going to go to sleep now, then I'm going to wrap you up and stick you in the guest room, then I'll go back to keeping the kids safe, and you'll be doing what your special talent is. Right?" "...Sure." Flapper Jack lied down on the floor. "...too drunk ta schleep." "OH FOR THE LOVE OF F---FURRY SMALL THINGS!" |

Sibylla watched not so much in abject awe, because the display was fairly normal, but instead with no small amount of jealousy. The unicorn witch and her child could do something Sibylla could only remember having done. As the magic twang in the air went away she frowned, a lesson in magic for the little one, not a bad thing of course, but still. The gryphoness stood and stepped away from the pair of unicorns. She sat down about half the room away, far enough away that she was confident that any small waves of magic wouldn't tear through her from the waking world. "First lessons? I remember his, I can't imagine you'll be the taskmaster his mother was." She aimed her voice for warm, this was after all in her mind a good thing, most of the memories related to Iron's mother that Sibylla had were painted with negative emotions.

"Yeah, no. Iron told us about that." said Wishing Star, bending her head down to touch her horn to her son's. "Okay, Moony. Feel this and do what I do." The soft glow of magic enveloped her horn, with a bit clinging to Moonshine's as well as Star did the equivalent of guiding a child's hands through the motions of tying a shoe. A single block lifted itself off of the floor, stacking itself on top of another amidst an indeterminately-colored telekinetic field. "Shit, mommy, that's easy! I bet you could build a castle all the way up to the sky like that!" Moonshine said excitedly as he got a handle on the mannerisms and particulars of basic telekinesis. "Yes, Moony, you could if you had enough power." sighed Star, rolling her eyes as the colt parroted the words that he had heard his madre say mere minutes before. "And I don't care what madre said, cursing is not okay for little colts and fillies. Now, say you're sorry." "'m sorry, Mommy." said Moonshine obediently, momentarily confused as to why something Fireflare had said was okay was actually not okay. He shrugged it off after a moment, though, allowing his excitement at learning his first bit of magic to wash away the fleeting doubt caused by the mares' inconsistent parenting. "That's a good colt. Don't do it again, okay?" "Okay." "Alright then. Now, why don't you see how tall you can make a stack of blocks with your new trick?" Wishing Star said, lifting her head away from Moonshine's as he bounced happily over to the pile of blocks and started to make a new tower, one tremulous block at a time. It was doubtful that the poor colt would make a tower very tall at all with his fledgling telekinesis, since he was at that awkward stage between his infant power crest and the dead zone of early childhood, but maybe if he started practicing now he might be able to hold on to at least some of the power before it trickled away. "I really have to talk to Fireflare about her casual jokes and the ideas they give our kids..." Star said, flicking a lock of mane out of her face and frowning a bit. Glory Star, meanwhile, had wandered into the hall to see what all the fuss was about. Having trotted soundlessly between her mother's legs, she stood silently under the larger pegasus and watched the ongoing exchange with her usual unblinking interest. |

"...Oh hey Glory. Flapper Jack, this is Glory Star." The one winged pegasus looked at the little filly, trying to gather himself. "Oh.... hello, hello. Uncle FJ ishn't sho good right now. You should probably be not, here." Fireflare grabbed her daughter and plunked her onto her own back. "He's got a point, Glory. Right now his blood is filled with alcohol, and it's... probably best if you stay with mommy. The only reason I'm here is because... um... he needs a friend right about now, and, well, I'm the best candidate. So... don't drink alcohol until I say you can. And... um... okay, this is just awkward." |

Sibylla shrugged, "I only meant I didn't see you as that sort and it ... I..." She sighed, "I don't know. I don't know how Iron learned to do the little stuff at first, not like that I'm pretty sure." She looked down at her claws for a few moments, thinking at them until something came to mind, "I think I get it. I'm jealous of him, of you and even Fireflare and her screwed up childhood. Cause I don't have one, I was never and will never be little like you were. I suppose given the circumstances that's a good thing, but still." She shook her head, having to then wipe the feathers out of her face, "Ahh getting along then half way through. Once your foals go to bed I'll give you both a little show." She smiled, "I haven't intentionally gone back into the void since I figured out how to do it. Heck it usually happens in my sleep, but I imagine you'd rather deal with Iron without his appearance being a surprise, eh?" She watched Moonshine work with his weak telekinetic field, "Wish I could do that, though I will say for a lot of things, thumbs rule." She finished with a wide grin.

"Mmm. If only they didn't come with those claws, I bet hands would be all sorts of useful..." said Wishing Star, indulging in her daily dose of wild fantasy. Useful fingers, indeed. (Semi-skip) |

Fireflare was staring helplessly at Flapper Jack, trying to will him to sleep. Unfortunately, he didn't seem tired at all. Just dead drunk. "...Star, do you have any stunning spells?" |

"Yes, but they all involve using telekinesis to smother somepony with a pillow. Why do you ask?" Wishing Star called back, broken out of her stupor by Fireflare's voice from the hallway. |

"Flapper Jack won't pass out or vomit or anything! I think he's more drunk on depression then on booze, but the booze is kinda preventing him from realizing it." "That'sh a low blow...." |

Sibylla looked at her claws in specific and shrugged, "Wouldn't know about that." She knew a fair bit about her claws, getting the hang of them had been an arduous several cycles. She had to fully unlearn numerous techniques which her other half had learned over a lifetime to properly grasp objects, now that task was done and she knew the proper means easily. She gave her fingers a quick look over as she listened to the exchange, grinning to herself at the feelings of envy she 'knew' Iron had about them. Finally though the situation in the bathroom was getting weird and she felt like tossing an idea into the mix since nopony else seemed to be having luck with it, "If he's not drunk enough to vomit and pass out, perhaps he needs more booze?" |

"You're suggesting that we poison him until he passes out? Thanks but no thanks. Besides, alcohol is expensive and I don't think we actually have any." Star said, before turning back to the hallway and calling to Fireflare. "Okay, I don't really know what to tell you! Put him somewhere comfortable and give him the mop bucket to hurl in, maybe he'll sober up or something!" |

"Good Idea!" Fireflare porceeded to do as suggested. (Masterweaver skipped along.) |

Sibylla walked up to the hallway to watch, "Well it was just an idea. I'll grant not a very good one, but well it's not like I have any spells that do that sort of thing." She tipped her head and watched as apparently somepony did something non-descript with somepony else, "Just as well I don't know where anyplace to buy booze is anyway." This was weird for her, sitting around not doing anything of note, she was starting to get anxious, playing with the foal just wasn't going to cut it, particularly since the foal was now doing something quasi useful. She walked to the couch and laid down on it, "Does that happen often, with the drunken friend coming over?" Meanwhile a particular diminutive pony has finished his tower. In a feat of arcane luck, speed and drive to build the biggest tower yet with his blocks, Moonshine sits before the fusion of his mother's and his tower. A smile grows as the next step comes into play, the explosions part! With a wild pulse and spike in magic Moonshine yelled, "'Sploshuns!" and swung an amped up version of his telekinesis through the block tower. In line with the rapidly expanding cloud of arcane static was Sibylla, who had not been paying attention to where she was sitting, both too close and in too likely a path for just such an outburst. Hidden inside the cloud was the freed layline, whipping through the aether without a care in the world. A moment later it had passed through the idle Gryphoness. She let out a sudden pained sound, a mix of a big cat merowling and a squawk from a bird. Clutching her chest, she felt the spell unravel, feeling as though it were burning a hole through her chest. Green flames ignited on her chest, burning away feathers to reveal an orange hide beneath. It moved quickly over her whole body, seeming to obliterate her wings and tail in a fury of flame and energy. The orange unicorn now sat on the couch, his eyes darting around, mumbling to himself, "Inside. Smallish house, foal, blocks, Wishing Sta.." Then he stood up on the couch, only to fall over as he lost balance, "W-Wishing Star?!" With another frantic look about he continued, "What's going on here?!" From his prone position he noticed soon the horn on the foal and the scattered blocks, one of which he found underhoof when he tried to stand on the more solid ground of the floor. He sniffed the air and frowned, Sibylla's been here, but it doesn't smell like anything's happened. Thank the Goddesses for that. He let out a relieved sigh and exchanged the frown for a smile, "So ummm, how ya been?" Edited by Lorventus, Oct 27 2012, 02:06 PM.
