"Want to know a secret, Sis?" Glamour asks conspiratorially, "You aren't wearing anything! This is my improvement of the magics I saw being used in the Amaranthian Glimmergowns, only I think mine is much better. And it isn't some cheap illusion parlour trick either! See, recently, there was a magic convention on Eldiz to talk about the way that magic in the world has been evolving, and well, I decided to go and watch. Some of the more boring and dull speeches were talking about how magic that personally increased people's innate abilities was draining resources from the universe and so is slowly becoming more and more short-lived and how time-magic was thus becoming less stable and effective to make people move faster, but that part was boring, so I won't continue with it..."

"The cool part is how the Altanians figured out how to make Light magic that is an Evocation rather than an Illusion! What does that mean for you? Well, the light from the little fireflies is not an illusory light, and so it generates an electromagnetic field, but once it comes in contact with you--and you should have felt a tickly tingle at that point--they will synchronise with your own electromagnetic aura and you will be as free to move as if you were totally nude--because you are! But all those things that people wear clothes to keep away--dirt, dust, small insects, etc? Well they will be repelled by the electromagnetic field of the concentrated light--now admittedly, this field isn't strong enough to actually stop something with any real force from breaking through, but then again, neither can cloth, right?"

"Oh, and the other neat thing is that, while I fixed the settings for you before I came in, you can switch them around to suit your fancy. To remove the dress, you simply will the fireflies to fly off, then you can will them to recreate the dress in the air in front of you, where you can alter their positioning and create several different styles, recalling any style you like from their memory--since we wouldn't want you losing the lovely style I just made for you when you experiment, right? Also, the lights are sometimes a bit playful and mischievous, and they do have a mind of their own, but if you're nice to them, I know they'll like you!"

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Looking completely lost, Molpe had lifted the him up to her eyes for a closer inspection and quickly became lost in the beauty of the gown, as Glamour’s spill comes to an end Molpe looks embarrassed as she apologizes. *

“My, most talented sister, I humble beg your forgiveness… I got caught up in looking at your exquisite craftsmanship and got lost in your words. Could you show me how to arrange the dress?”

* Hopeful to show that she had caught some of what was said Molpe concentrates and wills the firefly to leave her skin. * [/sblock]
 

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]*The dress evaporates as the little glowing fireflies fly off of Molpe's skin and into the air, dancing about seemingly at random. One of the fireflies seems to like Molpe though, because it doesn't want to leave, cuddling up into her free hand that isn't holding the sphere and hoping to hide there so it doesn't have to go.*

"Sure! You just have to get a good picture in your head of the new dress shape if you want something completely different, or if you want an alteration, you just think about the sort of alteration that you like, and the fireflies will try to match it for you--they have just a little bit of my sense of style and vision in them somewhere, so they will do their best to keep you from committing a fashion faux-pas--and also that means its like I'll be with you wherever you go. Perhaps the easiest thing to do is to make a duplicate of a pattern at which you are currently looking--just concentrate on it and they can copy it lickity-split! If you like to dabble and modify, you can always make something new each time, but if you need something that looks great really fast, like I mentioned before, they can memorise ten designs to instantly reproduce, one of which is the one you just saw. Of course, if you find an eleventh and you just have to teach it to them, you can have them forget one of the older ones."

"I'm sorry, was that too complicated? I think I may have lost you last time, and I tried to slow down, I really did, but sometimes I just get so excited when I'm talking about my babies!"

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]“I think I managed to play attention this time, sister,” says a giggling Molpe as she leans down and sticks her nose nearly on top of the stray firefly, “I see you, little one!” [/sblock]
 

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*The last firefly flies up onto the tip of Molpe's nose, tickling it gently as it decides that this is even better place to curl up.*
[/SBLOCK]
 

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Smiling delightfully Molpe’s eyes go slightly crossed as she focuses on the little firefly on the tip of hear nose. Molpe spoke softly to Glamour as she worried that her voice would upset the firefly. *

“Has my choice been made for me already, my sister?” [/sblock]
 

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"What do you mean? This is just the first one I have for you--I got the idea when you were talking to me about how you enjoy the freedom of nudity--I'm not trying to make your choice for you if you don't like it--You certainly can choose anything and everything you like of the things that I have, and then your friend Wei-Han will pay for your purchases!"
[/SBLOCK]
 

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]“I know, sister, and I really want to try the other ones,” Molpe, slightly pouting as she was excited to try the others dresses, turned as she explained so Glamour could see the firefly, “but he seems so attached to me… How could I say no?” [/sblock]
 

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Well, if you'd like, you can send the other little ones back into the orb and let him stay and play with you while I go find the next one--How about that?"
[/SBLOCK]
 

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]“Okay!” Molpe replied happily and excitedly at the solution and does as Glamour suggested with the handful of other fireflies. [/sblock]
