KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Shouri's eyes cracked open at the assault on their door. Pacifica and Rebecca grunted in frustration at the rude awakening while Taika blissfully remained in the realm of dreams.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Shouri!" Colette's voice penetrated the thin barrier, which earned more ire from the trio nestled in bed. "Well at least I know who's going on the shit list," grumbled Shouri as he motioned to be freed from the cocoon of maidens.

Begrudgingly, Rebecca and Pacifica got out of bed, allowing Shouri to rise. He grabbed Pacifica's tuner off the nightstand before he made his way to the door. He threw it open right as Colette went to knock again.

"Shouri!" Colette chirped, stepping back. "Colette Severine. We were up until 6AM, there better be a damn good reason why you're waking me up at-" he shot a glance at the tuner, which displayed 9 AM, "-too damn early."

"You're famous!" she shouted uselessly.

Pacifica trudged up behind her Maestro and wrapped her arms around him, equal part possessiveness and equal part stopping him from doing something he'd regret.

"Elaborate, now," he demanded.

Colette turned her tuner around and began to play a video.

If Shouri wasn't awake before, he certainly would be when he heard his own voice playing from the device.

"Famiglio Incendio, Moderato!"

The healing foxes appeared just as they had last night in the video.

SLAM

"Hey!" Colette's screams of protest over being shut out of the room were but a tinnitic ring in comparison to the thoughts that rushed through his mind.

Sure, Rose said they should spread it. He wasn't ready yet. There wasn't any way. How the fuck was he supposed to explain it? The world wasn't ready to be told "yeah just etude idiots". What if they came here? They still had a resident to worry about. What if someone tried to take advantage of their situation? What if-

"Sho!"

His racing thoughts ground to a halt by Pacifica's warm embrace. "Shhh shhh…" Her rhythm was sweet like honey, brought to the perfect temperature by the warmth of her form against his. Even his pounding heart was arrested by the gentle blanket of rhythm provided by Pacifica as it wrapped him up, hopelessly entangling, hopelessly enrapturing.

Her lips against his was the final touch to bring him back to reality. The sense of calm returning to the Maestro.

She stepped back, a satisfied smile plastered across her face at a job well done.

Shouri took a deep breath and gathered his thoughts. The first thing was to figure out what the heck happened.

"It looked like a RVU video," Pacifica noted. "E che cos'e…?" Taika said through a yawn.

Pacifica and Shouri turned back to the bed. Rebecca was sitting at the edge, content to watch, while Taika had risen, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

Shouri took his loyal otter's hand and led her back to bed.

"It's a video sharing site, the biggest one in the world," Shouri said as he sat down with Pacifica right behind him.

"What does RVU stand for?" wondered Taika before she failed to suppress another yawn. "Don't think it stands for anything," Shouri shrugged.

"ACTUALLY!" Pacifica began. "RVU-Tube used to be called Raw Videos Underground, and it was actually a porn site," the otter boasted proudly.

Her trio of friends just stared, but she was not deterred and continued.

"Its uploader and video controls were so top of the line and user friendly that people started uploading non-explicit videos to the point where regular videos quickly took over the site. The original company sold out to a bigger company who took the branding and backend and rebranded it to RVU-Tube. To this day they're still trying to distance themselves from their embarrassing (in their opinion) beginnings and host a family friendly video sharing site even going so far as to scrub all of the original content from their servers."

There was another moment of awkward silence as Pacifica continued to bask in the glory of her own fun facts.

"Anyway, did you find our video, Sho?" asked Rebecca. "Yeah, here it is," Shouri flipped the tuner around and the quartet watched as they cast the healing element foxes. It was a smaller part of the storm chasing video Gabriel uploaded that morning.

And the comment section was going berserk.

@Centrural 1 hour ago This is fake, don't fall for the bait.

Everyone knows fire and water spells can't mix. They're just trying to throw you off by calling it in tre corde. This is just some fancy editing to make a normal Famiglio Incendio look like it can be a different element.

If something like this really existed we'd have seen it by now.

They watched as in real time more comments appeared and the reply chains got longer. The thumbs up and thumbs down buttons below the video player were in a race to see what could tick up the fastest. With a flick of his finger, Shouri refreshed the page

"Is it too late for us to swim to Lontano Island?" asked Shouri, the mounting dread piling on with each incremented number added to the view count. He curled up on himself, attempting to cease his existence.

Pacifica rubbed his back, doing her best to impart serenity to him.

At that moment his tuner began to ring.

Incoming Call Gabriel Humboldt 14200-03510

Shouri took a second to allow it to ring, but ultimately answered.

"Hey," he begrudgingly greeted the other Maestro. "Morning man! Hope I didn't wake you!" Gabriel spoke cheerily from the other side. "Nah, guildmember woke us up." "Cool cool. Hey listen, can you like explain how you did those healing foxes? My RVU inbox is getting annihilated by people wanting to know. I can link to it in my video so people can figure it out."

The weak-willed Maestro hummed thoughtfully. Rose did suggest spreading it. Especially according to Ninah and Talys it was a technique that was lost with the concerns regarding etude rising in the last couple hundred years.

à deux was one thing. He understood why the power was feared. The very real risk of being in a compromised position due to the backlash if they were linked at the wrong time.

But the elemental summons? Harmless. Simple enough to write something up about it.

"We'll get something together," answered Shouri. "Thanks man, owe you one." "For what?" "Well, the stellar work you and your three did last night and also giving me a viral video. Helps fund my storm chasing," Gabriel replied. "Anywho, will look forward to what you put out."

And with that, Shouri was left with his trio once again. He looked up at them, the implicit ask of them clear.

"How do we even do this?" asked Rebecca. "Why don't we make a video showing how we do it?" Pacifica suggested. "Oh! We can be in a video? That sounds like fun!" Taika beamed.

"Kill me," Shouri groaned.

"I think it's a great idea," said Emily, upon being told of the girl's plan. "We can make a name for ourselves and show that healthy etude does have benefits," the Luna native pointed out.

The brightest minds in PTRS had gathered to discuss the production of the tutorial video – that was to say, Colette and Emily as everyone else was either too busy or ill-equipped to help.

"I can write up the technical part of the video real fast," said Colette, pen and notebook already in hand. "Can you cast the spell so I see how it works?" she requested.

Shouri shot a glance to the overeager scholar. After a moment to mull it over, he decided if nothing else her perspective would help unravel the mysteries behind the usage of the fusion spell.

"Famiglio Incendio, Presto!"

The three girls joined hands and created the healing fox as they had done the night prior.

"Man that's so cool," Emily whistled.

"Okay okay!" Colette nodded, writing as she spoke. "So, tre corde is where the efficiency is coming from. Since the three have good etude the rhythm from the three spells blend. That's why when they hold hands it makes the summon really fast. The ability for Meravigliare Bolla to contain other spells enables Famiglio Incendio to take in other aspects of basic element spells and when in the container it readily takes in the magic of other basic spells. Advanced spells don't work because they're too complicated for the bodies of the summons but the basic spells work just fine."

The five present in the room just stared at the Rhythm Studies major as she continued to rattle off more and more details.

"I didn't even know a person's lips could move that fast," Rebecca whispered to Pacifica who nodded slowly in agreement.

Kaira arrived, breaking up Colette's lecture, video camera in hand. "I found it," said the earth element.

"Great!" Colette grabbed the camera from Kaira and turned her attention to the starring quartet. "Now let's make a video!"

"Why are you so gung-ho about this?" questioned Shouri. "Because I can turn this in as homework!" Colette exclaimed.

"Heyo gamers!" Pacifica greeted the audience. "Ever cast Famiglio Incendio and think: 'Gee, I wish other elements got this spell'?" She held up one of the fire foxes as she spoke. "Well I got some great news for you!"

The otter ducked down and pulled up a bubble fox, thrusting it at the camera. "You can!" she declared. She took a moment to show the bubble-based life form in every possible angle before she resumed.

"You're probably wondering: 'How can I get such a cute little thing in my life?' Well that's what we're here to show you today!"

Pre-amble out of the way, Pacifica stepped back and joined her fellow Resonators. "First off, I'm Pacifica, Water-Piercing Otter." She motioned to her co-hosts.

"Rebecca, Fire-Null Fox." "Taika, Lunar-Healing Fox."

Pacifica grabbed her fellow Resonator's hands and then the two fox girls joined their hands to complete the circle.

"In order to make this work, everyone participating has to have high tempo with one another, which me and my girlfriends here totes have!" Pacifica beamed. "Now, the fun part – hit it Sho!"

"Famiglio Incendio, Presto!"

The three girls closed their eyes and focused. Pacifica continued her narration for the audience. "The way this spell works is Rebecca's fire provides the soul, the life rhythm. I provide the physical form with my bubbles, and Taika's healing magic gives the extra element."

As soon as her explanation finished, a healing fox was brought into being, with the fire and bubble foxes joining it as Taika and Rebecca stepped out of the way of the camera. Pacifica took a knee with the three rhythm beasts sitting and staring at the camera.

"So, to recap-" she pointed to the fire fox. "Famiglio Incendio is life-" her finger moved to the bubble fox. "Meravigliare Bolla gives it form and makes it open to other magic-" and finally the healing fox got the spotlight. "Any basic spell is the finishing touch to change its element and magic."

Pacifica stood up and wrapped her arms around Taika and Rebecca's necks suddenly pulling them close. "Work with your friends! I want to see lots of different fun rhythm pals!"
