[Silver heads right over to the lake, and...

Doesn't grab onto Honchkrow, actually.]

Before we go, can I show you something?

[greatestcool]

Huh? Yeah, sure, what is it?

[Following...?]

[feistytrader]

[Well, he heads into the water until it's up to his knees, but it really doesn't take long to see what Silver wanted to show him.

There's coral emerging, in all sorts of different colors, and some of the chunks of coral look like little Corsolas, whatever the fuck those are.]

I learned to make something new with my emotions.

[greatestcool]

[...but his skinny jeans will get wet!!!

Ugh, fine, in he goes...]

Whoa, cool! How'd you make those?

[This is legitimately cool though, because you grew a thing with your emotions!! It's a different thing!!]

[feistytrader]

The same way I make my flowers, but in water. I made a bunch when I was working on the obelisk. You should give it a try.

[Come on, Ryuunosuke! You can do it!]

[greatestcool]

Huh... Alright, let's see what I can do!

[The amount of appreciation he's pouring into the water here is kind of impressive. And look, he's actually making something grow!! It's a...]

...Okay, is that seriously just a cactus growing underwater.

[That is seriously just a cactus growing underwater.]

[feistytrader]

...Your cacti are resilient.

[Don't laugh, do not laugh, do not fucking laugh. Just keep a straight face and be supportive. Nothing funny here.]

[greatestcool]

Okay. Things I can do: create magical cacti that grow underwater. Yeah, this is definitely an amazing skill.

[oh my god]

[feistytrader]

You should try learning Dunamis. Maybe you can fire projectile cacti at people.

[...Okay he's absolutely making fun of him, but that would actually be kind of cool.]

[greatestcool]

I still don't really know what that is, but I did figure out how to turn my glitter explosions into a weapon!

[IT WAS SO COOL, SILVER. YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE.]

[feistytrader]

...You did?

[This sounds like a story.]

[greatestcool]

I did! This guy Frog - he's a literal frog warrior, but that's what he told me to call him - was fighting off these winged serpents, but one of 'em went after me. All the sparkling I was doing temporarily blinded them so I figured I could probably get a more useful effect if I literally blasted it in the eyes with glitter!

[HE SOUNDS SO PROUD OF HIMSELF...]

[feistytrader]

...I have no idea what a frog is, but that was a really smart move.

[...]

Dunamis is basically that. It's focusing and wielding your emotions like magic.

[That is the most simplified explanation of Dunamis he could possibly give, but here we are.]

[greatestcool]

Huh, really? Well then I guess I've got a natural talent for it!

[...]

Though I guess I've got a natural talent for magic anyway, so that makes sense.

[NOT REALLY HE JUST GOT REALLY LUCKY(?)]

[feistytrader]

Yeah, you do.

[You're cool, Ryuunosuke!]

If you get really good at it, maybe you could make a tidal wave of glitter.

[greatestcool]

Ah... That sounds super cool! What a great idea!

[oh no silver what have you done]

[feistytrader]

...I could teach you, if you want. I can't guarantee that it'll be a tidal wave of glitter, but we can try.

[Silver no]

[greatestcool]

Yes, definitely! I really want to learn!

[THE SPARKLES ARE ALREADY OUT IN FULL FORCE]

[feistytrader]

Later. For now, come here.

[Because Honchkrow is officially tired of waiting and in their faces and squawking. What's the hold up, ladies? Let's get a move on!]

[greatestcool]

Oh, right!

[THIS IS ALSO WORTHY OF ALL THE SPARKLES]

Let's go, then! Honchkrow's certainly eager enough!

[feistytrader]

[...As long as you don't glitter all over him, he's already having a hard enough time getting all the pink and gold glitter from Mettaton out- oh who is he kidding, he's going to get absolutely covered by the end of this.

But he grabs onto Ryuunosuke, and he grabs onto Honchkrow, and then the three of them are off into the air, over the lake and as high as they can fly.]

[greatestcool]

[Absolutely. There's no escaping the glitter!!

Ryuunosuke is going to be staring down as soon as they're high enough and the sparkles have already brightened into strobe lights.]

Oh man, this is gonna be so cool...!

[feistytrader]

[They're ascending slowly; sure, Honchkrow could just fly them straight up, but it's more fun to gradually go up in circles and show them everything becoming smaller and smaller first.]

It is, but you need to hold on tight, okay? Promise?

[He's excited, but a little nervous, too; he doesn't want Ryuunosuke to get hurt, and especially not because of him.]

[greatestcool]

Promise. I really don't want to die. I get the feeling you and Tsukiyama would be pretty mad if I did.

[Maybe "mad" isn't the right word, but it's close enough!!]

[feistytrader]

We would be. You're really important to both of us, and we don't want to see anything happen to you.

[But with that said, Honchkrow abruptly stops; it looks like they're as high as they're going to go.]

You ready?
