[Video]- After the magical adventures in the cave of wonders...

[theheirofbreath]

Has anyone ever done something they didn't know they could do? I mean, not even something they were trying to do, but a weird new thing that just kind of happened out of nowhere.

I guess I'm still getting the hang of this memory loss thing....

Hey, Dave? Do you have a minute? There's something I need to ask you about....

Once, I was playing around with Hiroshi's octopus and I dropped a bunch of these cool white cube things I took from the cafeteria into its tank and then I thought Hiroshi would be mad at me if he noticed so I stuck my arm in to try and fish them out but I was too short so I went into a different room to get a stepladder but there weren't any which I should've known because it was my room and I don't have a stepladder so I went around to a lot of different places to look for a stepladder but when I finally got back with a box of chocolates - I think I got distracted - they were all gone.

So I think I have the power to make things disappear by thinking about it or the power to make octopuses like eating white cubey things. I haven't really tried it again, though.

[theheirofbreath]

Wait, wait... Go back. Did you say he has a pet octopus?

[Because that was clearly the main point Palom was making, right?]

[alittleblackmagic]

Yeah! It's weird. He just fished it out of the sea one day. And he won't even let me change it into a pig or a toad or anything to try it out.

[theheirofbreath]

He caught an octopus from the ocean and just kept it as a pet? That's kind of awesome...

And why would you want to turn it into a pig?

[alittleblackmagic]

Pigs are cuter.

And they taste better.

[theheirofbreath]

You wanted to eat it? Dude, that's kind of harsh isn't it? Eating a friends pet...

[alittleblackmagic]

I said they were cuter! I'm just saying, they're better all around. Why would you want an octopus? They can't even move around unless you bring the tank with you all the time!

[theheirofbreath]

Yeah, but I bet he's the only one in town with a pet octopus.

[alittleblackmagic]

...Why would anyone care? Except to talk about that it's weird, like we are.

[theheirofbreath]

I dunno, I just thought it was cool that he had something unique like that.

[alittleblackmagic]

I guess.

But I'm the only one that can turn things into pigs! That's cooler, right?

[theheirofbreath]

That is pretty cool. Can you turn anything into a pig? Or just living things?

[alittleblackmagic]

Wellll....

I'm not supposed to be able to turn nonliving things into pigs, but I've been messing around and I can reshape things the same way! They're still not alive, of course.

[theheirofbreath]

Awesome! Can I get a demonstration?

[alittleblackmagic]

Sure!

[those are like his favorite things]

When do you wanna see?

[theheirofbreath]

Anytime you're free is cool with me. It's not like I have a lot to do around here.

Hey, are there any important statues or anything in town? If there are, you should totally change one into a pig! That would be hilarious.

[It's times like this that I wish he could remember what a pranksters gambit is...]

[alittleblackmagic]

...I don't know about important statues, but what about important people? I could turn everyone into the lab into a pig!

[theheirofbreath]

Could you turn them back afterward?

[alittleblackmagic]

What kinda mage can't undo his own magic? Sheesh.

'cept Break. I can't fix Break.

[theheirofbreath]

Break? What's that?

[alittleblackmagic]

...

...

Turns stuff to stone. I like throwing magic around, but that one's a little dangerous.

[theheirofbreath]

You mean, if you turn something into stone, it stays that way forever?

[alittleblackmagic]

No! Of course not. Sheesh. That's not responsible at all.

...I just need to bring a white mage around with me everywhere to cast Esuna.

[theheirofbreath]

........

Is there a white mage here?

[alittleblackmagic]

...That's not the point!
