Lackadaisy: Rocky Learns Magic (cause why not?)

Emotions

As soon as I got a hold of myself, I got up and walked myself to the room where I was practicing magic in.

"R-rocky. We're sorry about acting frightened. We're just still shocked..." before I let Ivy say anything else, I slammed the door closed and locked it. I made a portal into my car, took my stuff out, and dumped it in this room. I noticed that my suit was red again too.

"God damn it."

'Um, I know this isn't ideal, but why don't we look at the bonuses?'

"I'm a literal fucking monster now that can't me seen in society! Where are the damn bright sides!"

'Well, now you can do magic easier. My eyes are blue which symbolizes the same thing as your magic lining on your hands. We're able to double our learning speed.'

"I don't give a fuckity wuckity chuckity about magic right now! I want to have a normal body! Up first I thought it was cool, but did you see how everyone looked at me! Even my own cousin was frightened!"

I then wound up my fist and punched the wall. Because of my emotional state, my mana built up in my hand and it made cracks in the wall and left a hole where I punched.

'Wow. Calm down. We don't want you to destroy saint Louis.'

"If I'm not powerful enough to stop myself from dying, then I'm not powerful enough to do that."

I slumped against the wall before laying on the floor as my suit turned more blue colored.

'Um, bonus number two is that you don't need food or drinks anymore.'

"But I like eating pancakes and drinking syrup with the occasional alcoholic beverage."

'You can still do that, but you don't have to.'

I sighed a bit.

"At least I can still enjoy pancakes. That would've been the thing that made me go on a rampage."

My suit was starting to return to the blue with red tint color when there was a knock on the door. I then heard freckle's voice.

"Rocky, can you come out now? We're all sorry about the way we treated you."

"What a coincidence that you knocked once I calmed down." Sarcasm. "I bet you're all scared that I might hurt you in some way."

I then curled up into a ball on the floor.

"I don't want to hurt anyone again."

My suit was full on blue now. My emotions were all over the place and I couldn't control them. The lock to the door then was unlocked and freckle walked in.

"How did you..?"

"Key."

He then came up to me and started to pet my head.

"It's going to be okay Rocky. We're all here for you."

I looked to the doorway and saw that everyone was looking in. I felt concern from them instead of fear. Concern for not themselves but for me. I purred a bit as I pushed my head against freckle's paw.

"There we go."

He sat beside me as I propped myself up beside him. He was still petting me still and my suit turned back to the new normal color. The boings we're looking at me. They were a mixture of concern and confusion of how I turned into this amalgamation. I was finally calmed down.

"There. Now rocky, are you alright enough to explain what's happening to you?"

"Yeah. Yeah. I should probably explain."

I pulled out my grimoire.

"This book I've been carrying everywhere is my grimoire. I've been learning magic from this with the help of my boing. He's basically an entity that is my shadow that I could only see after I started tapping into my true potential."

"That sounds... cool."

"It sounds stupid."

"Oh. That's what I was thinking, and I was trying not to be rude."

"Anyways, I've been learning spells, fighting off monsters in my dreams as to not go into a coma, and now it seems I've turned into a shadow variant of myself. A monster."

"You're not a monster Rocky."

Freckle scratched behind my ear a bit.

"Goodness, that feels so good. But you mean it?"

"I mean it. You're still you, and all that's happened is you got taller, got a different colored fur, and glowing eyes. Also, the new suit looks, um, radical. That's how you use that word you've been saying, right?"

I chuckled a bit as my suit turned yellow.

"Yeah. You're using it correctly."

Then ivy came up to me.

"So you know magic?"

"Yes."

"Can you make items with it?"

"Yes."

"Can you make me a pistol that's freckle themed?"

"Done."

I quickly made a pistol for her that was compatible with ammo see had at the speakeasy. I got up and handed it to her.

"I love it."

"Bet ol' freckle here would like one that's ivy themed! Haha!"

I was finally feeling better and helped freckle up.

"Good to see you aren't depressed anymore. And, um, maybe yes to the gun. Only something to display though."

I quickly made one and handed it to freckle. He freaked and dropped the gun.

"Probably should've thought that through a bit more."

I said as I then brought the gun up to my hand with magic.

"Wow."

"This has many applications. You would be the perfect construction worker or mailman."

That was Wick, obviously.

"I suppose so. Was hoping to use it to help out Lackadaisy a bit by putting on a show or getting out in the field a bit."

Freckle, "we wouldn't have to dig at all anymore."

I chuckled, "thank the Lord! Am I right?"

Suddenly a loud bang from the speakeasy area. We were the only ones here tonight and the doors were locked. That's when I quickly realized Serafine was here for what she thought was hers.
