festive rainbow mirror summoning!

[incanted]

There are now one dozen Bells.

They and most of their friends are all here on Planet Rainbowsand II, to celebrate the addition of Sarion, the elf one, and Aurora, the one with a sister.

"Yeah! I will dance and play video games and hang out with Bella being a sounding board for all her fixing-the-world ideas if she doesn't just always talk to Brilliance about that stuff."

[toblameforit]

"Sounds like a plan."

[lexicality]

"It is a plan. I planned it. Now it's my plan."

[toblameforit]

"It's a good plan!"

[lexicality]

"That's 'cause I'm super," says Lexi, beaming. "I dunno, though, after I'm out of school I might have to learn more than one kind of dancing. Or get a third hobby."

[toblameforit]

"You can figure that out when you get there, I bet."

[lexicality]

"I can. It's true." She sways, bluesy. "I like this song, but it's funky-sounding, I guess Angela's one of the ones who's not from an Earth even though apparently the one with the owl is from an Earth and I think having an owl for a soul is weirder than just having wings. What kinda music do you like?"

[toblameforit]

"Classic rock. AC/DC."

[lexicality]

"Cool. I like everything, and most people say except rap and country but I like those too."

[toblameforit]

"The music I listen to is pretty much a subset of the music my mom listened to."

[lexicality]

"Me too! Except Renée listens to everything!"

[toblameforit]

"Mom was into rock and, like, melancholy folk music. I picked up on the rock."

[lexicality]

"Don't like the second thing because of the melancholy or because of the folk music?"

[toblameforit]

"I don't really know if it was the melancholy part or the folk part or if she just had bad taste in melancholy folk bands, I just know it never got me going the way AC/DC did."

[lexicality]

"It's not supposed to get you going like rock music, it's supposed to be all, like, soulful and wistful and stuff. If you got amped listening to somebody singing Danny Boy there would be something the matter with you."

[toblameforit]

He snorts. "No, I mean like, I barely noticed it, it didn't make me anything except slightly bored."

[lexicality]

Lexi swaaaaaays, going from half-beats to full beats and deepening the motion to accommodate it. "When I think songs are boring I go look up the lyrics and make sure I know what they're talking about and that helps."

[toblameforit]

"I did not care enough to do that," says Tony.

[lexicality]

"'Cause the songs bored you?" Lexi asks archly.

[toblameforit]

"Yep!"

[lexicality]

"That's all circular, though," she points out.

[toblameforit]

"So? It bored me, so I didn't care about it enough to actively look for ways to make it bore me less. I am comfy with my classic rock, I don't need to like every song I hear."

[lexicality]

"I guess that's fair. I don't like every single song there is," says Lexi.

[toblameforit]

"Yeah, see?"

[lexicality]

"I try especially to be fair to stuff people recommend in particular, though."
