Time passed. Konoka had been making notable progress.
At first, Konoka's biggest struggle was coming up with a theme for her contest entry, a connection to all of her now newfound magical capabilities. While she understood and could execute the basics of controlling her magical energy, she was struggling to find how to make it distinctly hers. It was something she struggled with until, a few days later, Star Gazer invited her to go pull out a certain box buried in storage.
The purple bands there looked simple, but they were warm to the touch. It seemed that they were special add-ons to the SCA, at least the parts around her wrists, and her collar.
"What are these?" Konoka asked, though she managed to affix these new bands and put them on regardless. Thumbing one of the arrow designs, she briefly thought back to the odd dreams she had last night: her body strangely displaced and drifting in the void. She felt like her human body had been bound and pressed inside a ship, feeling both naked and not, all at once. It seemed familiar to her in a way that she couldn't quite place, beyond the shape reminding her of Star Gazer's. It was weirdly embarrassing, but also freeing.
