You scrunch up your face cutely- you can't spit fires, sick or otherwise! You're a pony, not a dragon!
You can sing a little ditty, though. Which it seems is what you have to do right now as you fiddle around with your Ocarina Modus.
Opalescence hisses as you grab the ball of yarn she was batting around- sorry kitty, but you need to practice! The yarn pops up on a card, the bottom of which shows a small set of notes.
And the yarn pops out, scaring Opalescence out of her skin. Silly cat.
marshmallowConcerto [MC] started responding to memo: Team Crusaders for the Win!
[MC] So, turns out it's not really anything to do with the actual Ocarina instrument?
[MC] It just gives the item musical notes based on it, which you've got to sing in order to retrieve the item.
[CC] well that seems to fit ya right perfectly, Sweetie Belle! You're great at singin!
[MC] Awww, I'm nothing special. It's just nice to sing sometimes, you know?
[MC] What about you, Bloom? Figure out your Modus?
[CC] well it certainly was a tough nut to crack!
[CC] but I think I got it
[CC] the modus says "alchemy" on the back, and whenever I pick somethin up it splits the item into at least two things
[CC] and I think those things must be somehow related to making the original item?
[CC] so ya just match the right cards up and there ya go!
[MC] That's kinda weird 9_6
[CC]I've been meanin to ask
[CC] what's up with all the faces?
[MC] I just think it's cute!
[MC] Plus it helps more accurately portray tone in a toneless format! ^_^
[CC] I guess so!
Well, that's one game mechanic down. You're curious, though- taking the yarn again (and agitating your cat further with these keep-away shenanigans), you flip the card over on the back. You thought you saw something before- and it turns out you're right. Another series of letters and numbers corresponding to the item on your card: AGgC8ALb.
Huh. Looks like a load of gibberish. You shrug, and turn your attention to the final part of your book- your Strife Specibus. Spike had let you all know earlier that Silver Spoon figured it was for fighting- and the best thing Spike could come up with to use was a book. Well, at least it was heavy- and you've got a lot of heavy stuff here in the Boutique to use, but you're not sure if you wanna. Sewing Machine was right out- how do you even wield it? Needles sounded promising- but the thought of stabbing something with a needle gave you chills.
Maybe you could put some of this dumb fabric to use?
