[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...]

An effect? Like what?

[Someone recommending an ice cream place is probably a good person to get to know.]

[Give the typist a moment to come up with a response.] Well... for me and two of my friends, it activates a kind of elemental aura that augments our fighting style. Given where we're at, it might give a smaller elemental boost to someone that isn't from our set of worlds.

I think I saw a non-magic version of the menu, but I didn't get enough time to look.

[Good attitude to have. And the ice cream is awesome. Very awesome.]

[virtualbirdwatching]

That actually sounds very helpful! I might have to stop by at some point.

That's the ice cream parlor from Disney Town isn't it?

[It's like another little piece of home for her... Since that's where they got a lot of their ice cream during their time off. They didn't have sea-salt but ice cream was still good.]

[quakega]

That's right. :) I used to visit it a lot.

[One of the things that Terra is... actually kind of happy to see again. Who doesn't love ice cream?]

[beautifulmemory]

[Effects? Oh, that is far too tempting.]

What sort of effects? How long do they last?

[dreamprotector]

...What kind of effect?

[greatseal]

Bad effects, I'm guessing? I'm surprised they'd be allowed to sell something like that.

[Text]

[quakega]

Nothing bad; they allowed me and my friends to activate a particular elemental aura and add it to our attacks.

[And kick-ass finishers, but. That's besides the point.] I think it'll be something similar for everyone else, but on a smaller scale. It usually lasts a few minutes or so.

[Oh, hi Riku.] It's silly, but those things let Aqua, Ven, and I activate our Command Styles instantly. Normally, we'd have to use spells or attacks that fit the element we're trying to tap in to.

[Ice cream just became useful, Riku. Useful.] Since the shop is here, I'm assuming they'll somehow affect everyone.

text;

[quakega]

No, nothing bad. I just don't know who has what elemental affinities here.

[This is where you're supposed to explain yourself, Terra.] Back home, those ice cream flavors let my friends and I activate a kind of elemental aura that we could use to enhance our fighting styles.

[recycleddestiny]

that sounds kind of suspicious.

or prime dare material.

[quakega]

Considering a couple of the flavors, I'd go with prime dare material.

[Spicy ice cream? Sour ice cream? If it were the non-magical variants, then they'd be good for a laugh.] I can only guess based on my own experience with it, but the flavors shouldn't have any bad effects.

[Really. Tell him what it does for you guys. He's curious!]

text;

[greatseal]

Really? That sounds pretty useful... for ice cream.

Do the flavors say what they do?

text;

[quakega]

Kind of. The flavors themselves are a hint as to what they do.

I wouldn't expect something named 'Bueno Volcano' to grant a boost to ice abilities.

If you're really curious, I suggest checking it out.

[Because ice cream.]

text;

[recycleddestiny]

Noted. Might have some fun with it later.

[Once he finds someone to pull it on, anyway.]

text;

[quakega]

Make sure you use the non-magic variety if you do.

[Don't need your victim zapping you or setting you on fire, after all.]

[Text]

[beautifulmemory]

No aggravating side effects whatsoever?

[DISAPPOINTING.]

text;

[greatseal]

I'm curious now, so I'll have to take a look! Thanks for letting us know.

[text]

[lonewave]

An effect?

text;

[recycleddestiny]

As long as there's clear note on what's magical and what's not on the menu, we should be good.

[Besides, it's all in good fun, not maliciousness.]

[Text]

[quakega]

None that I'm aware of, unless you don't like anything sour or spicy. I've used them before, and never had any problems.

[Sorry to disappoint?]

[text]

[quakega]

Yeah. I imagine it'll be some kind of elemental boost for everyone else. Back home, they did something similar for me and my friends.

[Leaving out the part where only he, Aqua, and Ven could use them back home.]

text;

[quakega]

No worries; there's two different versions of the menu. Just specify which kind you're after.

[He's fine with a prank or two. He was kind of... bad about those when he was younger.]
