Chapter Text
Caine: so.. you all know how to conjure things right?
Mixed voices were heard
"Yes,yep,no,can't, need parts"
Caine: I'm sorry I should have asked you one by one. Raise your hand if you can conjure
Kinger raised his hand proudly as pomni sorta gave her half raised hand the " eeehhh sorta" thing
Caine: zooble, let me.. uhh.. make another part for you to snap.
Zooble: I can go grab it
Caine: do you want to learn first pomni?
Pomni: sure.
Caine went behind her and just kinda did his thing as she was clearly not wanting to be this close to caine. Breathing down her neck as she pulled away
Pomni: caine
She said inhaling and putting her hands together lowering them as she said his name
Pomni: you need to learn how to ask to be in my personal space.
Caine pulled a sheet of paper from his hat and wrote
Rule 1: ask to be close with pomni
He then tucked it away as he walked up to her again
Caine: can I uhhhh...
His eyes fell a bit as he was trying to let words load to speak
Pomni: yes. You may help me
Caine: so think of the thing you want and snap. And if you want something bigger feel the sneeze between your eyes and feel the pie in your hair.
Pomni: that was not... Ok.. whatever.
She thought of a small box as she snapped it. It was lopsided and crooked and spazzing out but it was there
Caine slammed his jaw shut and ground his mouth with a low growling
Pomni: caine, is everything ok
Caine: yep
He was not. He needed it to be perfect the first try
Pomni: caine, something is pissing you off. Please tell me
Caine: ITS NOT PERFECT! IT'S JAGGED AND IT'S JUST.. WRONG!
pomni rubbed his shoulder as she shushed him
Pomni: things don't need to be perfect the first time. Feel free to make mistakes. It is normal to fail
Caine pulled out the note book again
Rule 2: it doesn't need to be perfect the first time. Failing is.. human?
As they worked to make a better cube on Pomni's 17th try it was perfect. But kind of... Bland.
Pomni: how do I add colour?
Caine: so imagine the cube again and give it a colour. Easy
She snapped and the cube fell as a wet mush
Caine: imagine it to be made of cotton candy bees
Pomni: Kinger, can you translate for me?
Kinger: he means imagine it to be solid. Not a liquid. So for this cube make it about... 5 inches all sides with wood and make it blue.
She snapped again and the wood cube fell to the ground. It was blue with green spots
Pomni: I DID IT! AND THE PATTERN TOO! I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD DO THAT! CAINE! LOOK!
he turned around and looked at the cube as they jumped up and down exited together
Zooble patted her back as she flicked her head around bells jingling
Pomni: IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF!
Caine: that was conjuring. Not summoning.
Pomni's wide smile went into a quick deep frown
Pomni: bitch don't ruin this for me. LET ME HAVE THIS
she said holding her polka dotted cube as she flipped Caine off
He was getting pissed at her. And same goes for pomni.
Pomni: fine then Mr perfect know it all
Pomni was getting sassy with him as he paced around trying to not go mad
Caine: I'm gonna stand over by the couch and you need to snap me to you.
As he floated over there she thought of bringing him to her.
She tried snapping a few times but kept messing up
Kinger: you need to curl your pinky finger.. or the end one. It will make a sound.
Pomni: uhh... Ok
As she curled her end finger of her red gloved hand she still didn't get it.
Kinger: lay the end finger flat on the palm of your hand. This will make the snappy sound you need. Thumb is 1, pointer is 2, ring is 3 and end is 4. Take the ring finger or finger 4 and place it on your thumb. Then point 2 up and then slide the third finger down. When you want a louder sound you press your ring finger on your thumb.
Pomni: uhhh.. like this?
Kinger: yeah! There you go!
A faint snap was heard as the cube slid to her.
Kinger: that's great! You moved the cube to you! Let's try it with a zooble part.
Zooble took the black and white Y shaped antenna off and slid it across the floor to the kitchen area
Kinger: now focus on what you want to grab and then snap
*Snap*
Zooble was then zoomed to pomni quickly skidding to a sudden halt as zooble fell apart a bit
Kinger: oh....
Pomni sharply inhaled through her clenched jaw : sorry zooble. I was trying to get the thingy to come to me, not you.
Zooble: that's ok. You didn't mean to
Pomni: let me try this again
She snapped her fingers loudly as the zooble bin came and fell onto gangle as her mask broke
Pomni: EEP!
Kinger helped gangle up and fixed her mask as pomni made sure she was ok
Pomni: I'm trying! It's harder than I thought it would be!
Caine yelled at pomni as she was trying it again
Caine: FOCUS!
Pomni snapped and caine zoomed to pomni and he stopped suddenly as he wants kneeling on top of her. Eyes wide and she was blushing. Quickly moving from him she went up to kinger and asked if that was good
Kinger: perfect!
