[This is probably the first time Terra has actually felt like posting something on the COMP network, instead of just replying to things. But considering the arrival of certain buildings, he feels the need to... well.

Advertise for one of them.] I'm sure a lot of you have noticed the new buildings in town by now. One of them is an ice cream parlor called Frozen Fortune in the Virgo District. It comes highly recommended.

... Just be careful of what you get. The ice cream is great, but it can have an effect on you.

[That should be enough for now...]

:)b No problem!

[recycleddestiny]

Perfect. I'll let you know how that goes.

[risetocaesar]

Really? What kind of an effect?

[text]

[lonewave]

Oh, that sounds useful. We had spells like that, but I don't think there was food that could do that.

[quakega]

If my own experience is anything to go by, then it'll be an element boost of some kind. [And it's ice cream. Who doesn't love ice cream?

Some of it's even 'healthy'.]

[text]

[quakega]

It definitely comes in handy when you're in a bind.

For all I know, it might be a thing that was originally unique to my home universe. These came in handy if we needed the boost right away; we couldn't always take the time to sync up with the element we wanted to enhance our attacks with.

[Sometimes, command styles are a pain in the ass. But the pay-off is worth it.]

[He can't see it, but Xion is smiling herself]

Yeah... us too, when we got the chance. We couldn't get sea-salt but the ice cream they had there was still really good.

[Text]

[beautifulmemory]

That's disappointing. It would have been fun.

[Text]

[quakega]

It's some of the best I've ever had. The fact that Aqua, Ven and I could use it to activate our command styles faster was just a plus.

[A pause before the next message comes through.]

I've never heard of sea-salt flavor. What's it like?

[Text]

[quakega]

[... he's talking to a prankster of some kind, then.] Well... maybe a little, at first. As long as it's a harmless kind of aggravating.

[Like a magical color change, or something like that. Hell, there might be a market for something like that...]

If anything like that shows up from my world, you'll be one of the first to know. [He can't honestly think of anything, but you never know.]

[Text]

[whereibelong]

Command Styles?

It's really salty, but sweet, too. It's the best flavor I've ever had. You can find it sometimes at Hollow Bastion, but mostly at Twilight Town, so we didn't get to have it too often.

[Don't mind the pause as he tries to figure out a way to properly describe them, since there's an above-average chance that he or Aqua will teach them to you. Once he does, he sets this to a private filter.] We use attacks and spells of a certain type, to get a feel for the element that they represent. Once we've synced up, we can use that element to enhance our attacks. When the aura reaches maximum strength, we can unleash that energy in a powerful elemental attack that we couldn't use otherwise.

[... hm.] That doesn't sound bad at all. I've never heard of those two worlds, so that'd explain why I've never heard of sea-salt flavor.

[nyxterious]

Huh, really? What kind of effect could ice cream give you? That sounds strange!

[quakega]

An element boost of some kind. Depends on the flavor. [Useful, y/n?]

[text]

[risetocaesar]

That doesn't sound too bad. Could come in handy, if you plan ahead and get the right kind.

[...Alright. The thought of useful ice cream is kinda interesting.]

Any chance to try how it works? Or will that have to wait to the morning?

[poorlittleblueburdie]

*this time, he's actually read some of the other threads first! So at least he's not asking the most obvious questions. Hopefully.*

do they sell normal ice cream too?

[text]

[lonewave]

Wouldn't it be hard to use right away though, if it's food? You'd have to try to eat it while moving, or something...

[quakega]

[... Riku. He's smirking a little.] Well, if you want to try now, I have a few on hand. I can meet you in the park.

[Because, y'know. Large open space where they can spam some magic safely.]

[text]

[quakega]

[... that's a pretty good point.] Huh.. that never came up, actually. One bite's really all you need to use the magic.

[dreamprotector]

[Hey, so maybe he's curious, what's the smirk for. :|

Also, gdi, he did just volunteered himself for this, didn't he?
Oh well...]

All right. I'll be there in a moment.

[Text]

[beautifulmemory]

[You would have a very loyal customer!]

Good. I'll give you something very valuable if you do manage to find something.

I'm Mia.

text!

[quakega]

Yes, they do. It's the same set of flavors, but whoever's running it now must've figured that people would sometimes just want ice cream.

[text]

[quakega]

It does; I couldn't tell you the number of times I've found myself using them. [Because Rockbreaker or Dark Impulse were harder to enter than Blade Charge, and in the Mirage Arena, you need any advantage you can get against some of those Unversed.]

[quakega]

[Practical demonstrations + finding out what Riku is capable of now = This might get Interesting.

Y e p.] I'll see you there.

[And he'll be waiting in one of the more open areas of the park in Capricorn for you, Riku.]
