Akane/Dog: Subtle Effects [Episode 23429]

by Whitewings

Magic worked mainly on symbolism; a hawk's feather as a symbol of speed, a carving of a lion to represent power. This is why mixing magic can be extremely dangerous; it's known as the "and principle." When we have completed our study of "one," we think we know all about "two," because "two" is "one and one." We fail to realize that we have yet to make a study of "and." That being said, let's look at the ingredients:
Milk: Symbolic of new life, caring, and purity.
Dove chocolate: Doves symbolize purity, innocence, peace. Chocolate of course symbolizes both indulgence and satiation.
Godiva chocolate: Godiva represents both beauty and moral conviction; remember *why* she made her famous ride.
Skor: chocolate and toffee. Toffee generally suggests a sort of wholesome sweetness, and the name suggests Scandanavia.
Whoppers: See above for chocolate and milk, and "whopper" is another term for a tall tale. And malt represents both nutrition (bread) and celebration (beer and ale).
Bavarian liquor filled chocolates hadn't been magical but added their own punch.
Cherries: Symbols of spring, of purity and of sweetness.
Swiss chocolate? Swiss miss, see also for chocolate.

The end result, when everyone was done with their shakes, were... not what might have been expected. Outwardly at least, Kasumi didn't much change at all, other than a lightening of her hair and eyes, but her sisters did; they were fully human again, and just as beautiful as their sister, or Ukyo. Soun was a bit more bishonen than before, but that was it. Genma, on the other hand... he had changed a lot, and his gi was suddenly very baggy. His hair was thick, blonde, very long, and he was extremely bishonen. He was also wondering what everyone was staring at. Ryoga'd gotten a fair bit prettier too, and his hair was now lighter, but the physical changes were minor. It was the internal changes that were really interesting.
