Who: Isobel and Suzume What: Isobel witnesses Zu use her powers by accident When: Afternoon Where: Walmart Rating: low
Suzume was at Walmart and Ruby was around somewhere. They were getting stuff for school since Zu had told her she thought she was ready to try. It’d be weird to go to an actual school, but they were used to kids with abilities, so she had been told it’d be alright.
Zu had wandered from the stationary to the electronics because there was a song playing she liked. She walked up to the audio display and smiled, then began to bob her head a little. Back home there was no more new music. It was all ‘oldie’ stations since there were no kids to market new songs to. The songs of today were very catchy and Zu liked a lot of them.
The song changed and this time the tv screen lit up to more than just colours alongside it. It was a group of girls who looked a lot like Zu and they were doing a dance while singing in a language that wasn’t Japanese, but wasn’t English either. Zu started to try to do the dance moves. It was the first time she’d ever seen a group of singers that looked like her doing something like this. Her dish gloves, however, made a lot of the hand gestures awkward. Without thinking too much about it, she slipped off her gloves and started to dance to the song again. She enjoyed the cool dance moves.
Only when she tried to do a spin, she slipped. Instinctively her hands sprang out to catch her. Her hands landed on the TV and suddenly her eyes turned yellow. The TV and other electronics started to go haywire and the overhead lights flickered like they were in the middle of a wild storm. It was someone’s scream an aisle or two over that managed to pull Zu out of the trance-like state she had been in and she pulled away her hands from the tv like she’d gotten burned. Panic was on her face and she quickly looked around to try and desperately find her gloves again.
