Here she is now! She smiles winningly at them and walks up to their bed. "Today's the day, observation has ended, and I've come to spring you from your imprisonment."

Violet sits up in bed and favors Sable with a smile. "I've been waiting for this for... it feels like forever." She stretches her arms above her head. "I feel so much better. I still can't thank you enough."

"You deserve it, Vi." She admires the stretch, then catches Violet's hand when her arms come back down, squeezing it encouragingly. "All three of you deserve this chance to be yourselves, and figure out who that is."

Violet smiles, and squeezes Sable's hand. "Lily won't stop grousing about going to combat school, but she's outvoted, so we're just going to have to do our best together." 

She looks deep into Sable's eyes. "I just want you to know that I really appreciate you coming here every day like this. I've never had... I guess a real friend like you before." 

Her posture shifts, just slightly. "It's really true that we all appreciate it," she continues, her voice a little rougher and less lilting. "The staff told us about how much you risked for the procedure, and... That's going above and beyond, honestly."

Then, suddenly, there's a moment of disorientation - 

A star burns and falls, flame wreathing it in some distant place, a world far, far away from her - 

And then abruptly gutters out as her connection to it vanishes.

She grabs after it instinctively, and instead - 

Something goes click in her brain.

SUPERHUMAN DESIRE (Medaka Box Abnormal) 100

You always wanted to be special and that want was itself so strong that you really did become so. Whenever you are subjected to a procedure that will improve or beneficially alter you with a chance of injury to you, death or even just the procedure failing outright, it will instead have a guaranteed chance of success. Risky operations will always go off without a hitch, shoving an energy source into your own body will have it combine with you successfully if there was even the smallest chance of you not dying.

Okay, what the fuck. 

"What the fuck was that?"

You don't need to say it aloud, December, everyone in the room was already thinking it.

She grins warmly, starts to respond, and then her eyes widen at the sudden event in the girls' souls.

"Wha—"

She trails off, following the connections as best she can.

She shakes her head a bit to clear it, when the event ends. "That... was two different things, I think. One was a star like the one you girls grabbed during the procedure, but you couldn't catch it. And then, when you tried harder, you connected more clearly with the one from the procedure? I think it felt like it was giving you some kind of information about itself, but I couldn't tell what."

"Let me try that mental motion again."

It pipes up again quite cheerfully.

Risky operations will always go off without a hitch, shoving an energy source into your own body will have it combine with you successfully if there was even the smallest chance of you not dying.

"It's giving me like an information sheet. It says that... my want to be special was so strong that I really did become special, and that any procedure that could improve or beneficially alter me with some chance of injury, death or failure will instead... always succeed, so long as there's even the tiniest chance of my not dying."

"Huh." She tilts her head thoughtfully. "I guess that could explain the good luck in getting enough nurses and trainees in for me to drain and keep filling up your Auras, despite that being more than were supposed to even be on-call."

"Yeah. There's some parts I don't understand - it says 'Medaka Box Abnormal, one hundred' - but it seems clear that it's a description of what's happened to me. A power that comes with its own manual?" She raises an eyebrow.

She shrugs. "Not something I've ever seen before, but we can figure it out together."

She shakes her head. "What was I going to say before that happened? Oh! Right, I was gonna say that you kind of have to stay at Beacon for now. That or find some kind of Aura-requiring work. It's hard to feed an awakened Aura on a civilian budget."

"Tell me about it," Lily replies, thinking back to all her hospital meals. "I'll say one thing for this place, the food's better than I expected."

"I can't wait to see all the facilities at Beacon though! Your team sounds really cool and I want to catch up as fast as I can."

"Let's get you out of here, then. I'll show you to your room."

"I won't miss it at all."

Violet gets the body up out of bed, then takes Sable's hand again. 

"Lead on, noble Huntress."

She smiles widely and leads the way out of the medical wing. On the way to the building where the first-year dorms are, in between pointing out various things on campus, she adds, "Professor Ozpin gave me temporary access to your guest room while you were in medical, just until you tag the door with your own scroll and it rekeys, so my girlfriends and the rest of our friends took the opportunity to get you some housewarming gifts."
