[Hymn #43] [Movement] ~Smorzando~

[It's around closing time at Cafe Demois and if any of the remaining customers were taking note, one of the waitresses was not being her usual polite and proper self. Actually, she was being especially quiet. Had she looked anyone in the eye recently or asked if they needed another cup of tea or a coffee? Well, probably not.

In fact, Tear had been scrubbing on the same table for precisely twelve minutes and eighteen seconds. There was the lingering issue of the recent disappearances of several friends to be sure, but there was also
that... Well, at least with a little time, she could only assume the latter would simply go away.

She is obviously preoccupied with her thoughts. The table, on the other hand, is a gleaming piece of work. It probably hasn't been this clean in months, if ever. Interrupt? Yes / No]

I see. So he's from your world, then?

[She nods slowly, unsure of why Tear seemed disturbed.]

He did, a bit. Is there something wrong...?

[Tear doesn't exactly want the whole cafe to know about hyperresonance. That'd be tacky.]

Yes, he is...

[It was hard to tell whether Tear thought this a good thing or a bad thing.]

No, there's nothing wrong. That's simply the reason we got... blown somewhere else. He and I both use the same type of fonons. I suppose the abilities canceled one another out, caused some sort of reaction - fonons vibrate naturally - and then...

Although it still seems odd.

You have the same kind of power?

What... is a fonon?

[Tears'planations are becoming a running gag I see.]

[Tear resisted the urge to sigh again. It was too bad she didn't have her fonology book with her from home. If she did, she figured it'd save a lot of explaining - she wouldn't have to review the concept of fonons with individual people, she could just hand over the book. For that matter, maybe she should have taken a job as a teacher - not that she thought she had anything worth teaching anyone.]

Um, no... Both of us use seventh fonons, but our "powers" are completely different. I would call his abilities a "special case", but I don't know very much about them to begin with.

Fonons are vibrating sound particles that make up essentially everything in my world. They are used in various technologies, as well as in battle. I believe in such cases fonons are somewhat comparable to ideas referred to in other worlds as "energy" and "magic". There are six types of fonons - darkness, earth, wind, water, fire, and light. Additionally darkness contains the properties of earth and water whereas light has those of fire and wind. The seventh fonon differs from the first six, and it is believed to be a mutated form of other fonons. Some people think of them as "sound fonons", but they aren't officially paired with an element.

Suffice it to say only those born with the ability are capable of utilizing the seventh fonon. Most of these people are healers, but there are also melodists, and some who are neither.

Poor Tear. No one else knows what fonons are!

[Terra listened intently, drinking in the information with obvious interest.]

Magical music... that's amazing! I don't think there's anything like that where I come from!

If you're neither a healer or a melodist, what are you then?

Tear-sensei, what's a fonon?

"Magical music"...? Well I guess in some cases... If you want to look at it that way...

[At least where her abilities were concerned. Tear wasn't sure the term was completely accurate, but she wasn't going to say so.]

Actually, I'm both...
It's Luke who doesn't seem to possess the abilities of either. I suppose it's not much of an issue seeing as he can create a hyperresonance by himself, but that shouldn't be possible.

[And obviously she thought that extremely odd.]

Tear-sensei, I bought you a pet rabbit! I hope you like him!

...His powers shouldn't be possible...?

[That hits a little too close to home for Terra.]

........how cute!

[Oh just wait until Abyss-tachi spoil you for the rest of the game. All sorts of impossible things happen. It is wicked crazy. But back to Tear, she's being serious, her eyes are focused on a window.]

Well, let me put it this way... Hyperresonance can be created, but one person shouldn't be able to do it all by himself. I'm not sure what to make of it.

Although, there is that other person... I wonder if he can create a hyperresonance, too.
