It's been about ten minutes. 

There's half a dozen offices - one in Montreal, Thunder Bay, Victoria, Edmonton, Halifax and a small one in Whitehorse, in a variety of timezones.

And what time is it in Victoria right now?

12:18 PM.

<Enough time to get to know this shiny new tool before heading down, even,> Maya adds with a smirk.

Sable blushes. Oops, she was about to jump the gun, wasn't she? Seas, she loves her girls. <Y'all take such good care of me.>

She'd really love to know all about this ring. What can it do, what data does it come with, is there a lantern, is there a subspace pocket, what's in the subspace pocket, and what's the charge level?

Permalink

[Full list of capabilities too extensive to efficiently enumerate in detected physiology.]

[Database unavailable. Analysis system fully functional. Charge level is 88%. Subspace pocket available. Violet Lantern detected in subspace pocket.]

Permalink

What rate limits, if any, are there on the paired Violet Lantern's ability to recharge the ring?

Permalink

[Speed of replenishment to full charge is dependent on intensity of love. Without connection to the violet central power battery, a maximum of 200% charge may be replenished within 24 hours.]

Permalink

She'd love to have a mental defense, protect her loves from anyone trying to mess with their mind. Does this ring have any mental defense protocols? If it doesn't, could it implement some if she scanned some existing mental defenses? And can it detect mental tampering?

Meanwhile, she tries out construct creation, starting with a heart emblazoned with the corps' emblem on one side and their system emblem on the other.

Permalink

[Limited internal brain state analysis available. Molecular scan available. Construct creation available. Glow detection available.]

It feels... fuzzy. You can, but it forms painfully slowly, thin and sickly before firming out somewhat as you see the emblem properly. 

Permalink

Oh wow, that's embarrassing.

Permalink

A teasing snicker echoes.

Permalink

She blushes and smiles, shaking her head. Well, she loves to learn. How about a training course, bestest ring?

Permalink

[No 'training course' available. Information on requirements on optimal usage of the Violet Light is available.]

Permalink

Go for it, she'd love to hear all about it.

Permalink

[Wielding the violet light is positively impacted by intensity, entanglement and comprehension of love, clarity in visualization, clarity of purpose and metaphysical strength. Effectiveness may be reduced when influenced by other parts of the emotional spectrum, when your understanding of love is contrary to your actions, and when unable to think clearly. Consumption of charge is largely proportional to scale of generated constructs, while effectiveness of those constructs is largely generated by ring mastery.]

She nods firmly, dismisses the first construct, and then closes her eyes, sighing out warmly, a soft smile on her face. She loves her girls, she loves her new body, and she loves being a Violet Lantern.

Permalink

She opens her eyes, grinning brightly, and summons the dual-emblem heart construct.

Permalink

It snaps into existence from a thread from the ring, shining brilliantly. 

Permalink

Okay, how smoothly can she do this? Celtic knots are lovely, she'd love to see a construct of one.

Permalink

Physically smooth is pretty simple - the surface seems perfectly polished, and it flows readily into shape, even if a bit more slowly then the earlier attempt, the glow trending a little dimmer. 

The motion mentally is pretty natural. There's a gentle assistance in your mind, some extra mental workspace that makes it natural enough, even if something about it almost... skips as feeling of connection and interaction blooms into something practically usable. It's lightning quick, but she can feel a light echo of it in the passing. 

Permalink

Okay, she'll try rapid switching and dismissing. She takes a moment to recenter herself in loving her girls, her new life, and being a Violet Lantern, then:

Pine tree, like when she lived in rural Oregon?

Beautifully curved saber?

Spread out deck of playing cards?

A bullwhip?

A tower shield?

A cartoon catgirl?

A force field bubble?

Permalink

All of them work, but the ones that work the best, shining the clearest and brightest are the ones that come with thoughts to use them - it's a lot easier to form a saber to flick around in your hand then it is to just conjure the tree. The size of the cards feels a little wrong, but they come out obligingly enough, and the whip feels a little limp in your hands, while the shield feels simple and standard. The catgirl solidifies a bit more slowly, but as she takes a better look at it and appreciates it some, it grows to a bit better a level. The force field bubble feels basic and simple, but there's something she could probably do to make it 'sit more nicely'. 

Permalink

What could make her shield bubble stronger? Obviously being in a fight would make it salient, make it obvious that she needs to p—

Oh.
