Hey, it's Sunset.

I figured yesterday was a personal day of sorts.

But if you need to talk, the door's always open.

[Well that's a pleasant surprise. Much better than Papillion's usual harassment.]

Thanks, I'm better now.

I spent the day yesterday with Adrien and Spark, which really helped.

[Sometimes the nice empath can say hi.]

That's good to hear.

It sounds like you have good friends then. Bad days like that are usually better to spend with friends if you can stand the company.

[djbubbles]

[Nothing wrong with that.]

Yeah. At least I don't have to worry about anymore Friday the 13th until September. Last one was during my birthday month.

I wonder if I could adapt a good luck spell by then.... [Or maybe lie and say she did. A little mind over matter IS effective in Nautilus.]

Still, how have you been otherwise?

[djbubbles]

Ladybug's good luck does act as the balance to Chat's bad luck so it could actually help.

Been okay mostly.

[He wonders if he should mention Papillion.]

Re: [Text]

So extra magic good luck can't hurt. Heck, bet I could speak to a few of the kitty cat friends to help siphon in more energy. That was something I was pretty good at back home, made for really potent magic. Tore and repaired holes in dimensions once.

Mostly?

Re: [Text]

Wow. I know there was that one akuma named Pixelator who trapped people in a pocket dimension using his camera. The only thing that could destroy it was Cataclysm.

[That was one of the akumas that he had to deal with in the Mirror AU, though he was spared in canon maybe.

Welp, looks like she caught that. Might as well spill the beans now.]

Papillion has been harassing me with locked messages from time and time. But then for almost a week, he redoubled on the harassment and he even messaged me yesterday.

I think he's become really desperate to akuma another person.

Re: [Text]

[daydreamshimmer]

Oh no, not pocket dimension. That's a whole other sort of thing. I mean the barrier between Equestria and Earth was coming down. The pony world and where I'm currently living. And may be why magic is leaking in regularly, unfortunately.

Ah, I see.

Well, it would make sense. You've BEEN an Akuma. Its like how abilities back home are easier to do here, your mind has already accepted it as a possibility. It would make sense former Akuma would be easier to Akumatized than a fresh one.

....I wonder if we could scare him off you.

Re: [Text]

[djbubbles]

Yikes. Bad things happen with two worlds clash and fuse like that.

[He's seen enough movies to get a good idea anyway.]

I remember when Alya was still here, she used bending to be able to use one of her abilities as Lady Wifi as a way to defend herself and others. I don't think I would willingly use the wand to make bubbles, even if it was for good. I haven't blown bubbles since then.

I don't know. He maybe crazy, but I'm not sure he scares that easily.

Re: [Text]

[daydreamshimmer]

Yeah. Pretty sure it would have killed everyone. It really might have only ended as well as it did because Equestria was in a temporal flux so was already fairly elastic despite that going on.

Might be worth trying out sometimes. Did you blow bubbles a lot before?

Well, it might not, but it could also get you guys information. Can't do much when you're in the moment angry, but if he's messing with you, maybe you should make it known you're coming to see me.

I've been tempted to grab an Akuma when I see it. Only reason I haven't is because if it goes bad, it would go real bad. Dark Sunset gets mind control powers and that's bad. But I have been curious what would happen if I touched an Akumatized Person.

I'm pretty curious how he'd react to an empath trying to mess with his magic. Might be enough for him to lay off and not bother you that day.

Re: [Text]

[djbubbles]

That and magic being a factor, I think.

Not really. I did a lot more when I was little. I think I mostly only brought a bubble wand to show and have fun with Adrien. Since he's pretty sheltered and all, no thanks to his dad.

[So bitter.]

It would be quite dangerous but it could be interesting to see how it would work with your powers. I know we need to figure out other ways to purify akumas aside from the Ladybug powers.

Maybe.

Re: [Text]

[daydreamshimmer]

Magic is always a factor with Equestria.

At least there's that. Still, it could be good for you. Make you less worried at the possibility, better defense.

....so she is gone, huh?

Well, it's certainly something to try. In theory, I could do something. I mean, I have done something. That's pretty much what the Elements of Harmony do, they bring balance to chaotic forces and generally, that's purifying dark magic and bringing clarity to dark feelings and that was how I best utilized it.

So I could give it a shot if you could catch the thing. If not on my own, a few friends might do the trick. It'd just need to recreate using the Magic of Friendship.

Either it works and it tells you guys either he's wary of empaths, or he knows they're a danger. Or he ignores it and either he's cocky and it might bite him later, or there is some kind of defense involved that you now about. So it doesn't hurt and a little bit helpful.

Re: [Text]

[djbubbles]

It seems to be the case otherwise she would have said something by now to disprove Papillion. Plus the new Ladybug showing up.

It's definitely worth a shot.

Re: [Text]

[daydreamshimmer]

...do you not know that new Ladybug? Because anyone could put on a costume.

Yeah. And heck, if he calls it a bluff, I can always talk to him.

And if he IS getting to you, you SHOULD talk to me. Rule one of tearing people apart: Isolate them as much as possible mentally. Soon as there's back up, gets ten times harder.

Re: [Text]

[djbubbles]

[Guess he can't play dumb. Well she already knows he's Deux so he might as well tell her about this too.]

I do know him. He's me actually.

Both Bandanna Ladybug and Rena Rouge left their Miraculouses to me before they left for safe keeping. I used the earrings mainly to both nip Papillion scaring the city in the bud, and as revenge for the harassment.

I handed Adrien my phone yesterday to deal with him. He offered to do so before but it was only yesterday I finally took his offer. I can let you know next time he bothers me.
