And it's somethin' true to pass on down to generations yet to come

[takeittothebridge]

Sitting in the garden by a rather familiar tunnel, Bridge played his harmonica, hoping to draw out a certain visitor. He had some news he wanted to tell him, and was hoping that the Fraggle would be able to hear the music and come drop by for a visit.

And despite appearing calm on the outside, he couldn't help buzzing a bit with excitement.

Didn't exactly sound ideal. "What do you think you should do, then?"

[takeittothebridge]

He thought for a moment, glancing down at himself again. "Well...not much I can do right now, really. Just need to get used to it, and hopefully I'll be able to hone in on how to change back."

[gobetween]

"Well..." He paused, then chuckled weakly. "Could be worse things to be stuck as, I guess?" Ah, there it is.

[takeittothebridge]

He snickered. "For sure. At least I can talk in this form."

He laughed more genuinely. "Talk, jump, sing, whatever you wanna do."

"Ahh, I see you found it after all!"

He walked out toward them, smiling. It was the music that had attracted him, though he hadn't come out right away. Now as he saw this, he had to feel rather amused. Bridge must have been getting better at transformations.

"That was rather quick."

[takeittothebridge]

Glancing up at Scrooge, Bridge snickered and waved.

"This was...but changing back might not be."

[moneymatters]

He paused a moment, then couldn't help snickering some himself.

"Stuck again?"

[takeittothebridge]

"Seems like it. Finding my Fraggle song triggered the transformation, but there's no easy way to turn back. And this feels different from either the Siren or the Duck form."

[moneymatters]

"Not often that it's music that triggers a transformation." He glanced between them curiously, staying on Bridge last. "Feels different? How so?"

[takeittothebridge]

"It's...I dunno, the energies are different. I use different ways to change to either form, so it's like different pathways. Siren uses Dark magic, and Duck uses magic, but it's not exactly Dark? But this isn't either of those things, so I have to find a different path."

"If there's one thing Fraggles aren't, it's Dark." He scrubbed his head, shaking it after a moment. "But I wouldn't know what we are. I only recently found out Fraggles were magic in the first place."

He watched Gobo, thinking about what he knew about them.

"If I had to hazard a guess, and it wasn't some sort o' earth magic, I'd think it was light." Lowercase L.

Probably.

[takeittothebridge]

He glanced up at Scrooge. "You think so?"

[moneymatters]

"It's only a hunch, but look at them." A hand waved toward Gobo as he made his point. "Now, I'm not as well versed in Fraggles as you or Louie, but I do know they're a cooperative, optimistic people, and have quite a few magical abilities that enhance interconnectivity. Bridge, you know as well as I do that light and dark don't necessarily fall into the stereotypes that people think they do, but if you're reportin' being in a Fraggle form feels so different to anything else before, it could be because their magic is on the opposite side of the spectrum from what you're used to."

[takeittothebridge]

Taking a moment to process Scrooge's words, Bridge nodded. "That makes sense...but that's definitely a side of me that I've never honed before."

Despite being told that his magic was Dark-to-Light, he'd never felt in touch with Light or light magic before.

[moneymatters]

He considered that, watching them both again as he thought. Gobo had fallen silent, still holding onto his tail from before.

At a thought, Scrooge turned back.

"So, you said it was the music that had triggered it?"

[takeittothebridge]

He nodded. "Yeah. We figured out my Fraggle song, and it triggered it." He frowned curiously. "Although it's kinda weird. I've been playing that kinda thing for a while, but that's never happened before."

[moneymatters]

"Huhmm." He rubbed his beak, thinking. Wonder if... "What was different about it this time?"

[takeittothebridge]

"Well...I guess hearing it with other music."

[gobetween]

He rubbed his snout, thinking. Fraggle magic... Fraggles have magic about connections... And if the music triggered it...

"Hey!" He snapped his fingers, looking up. "I bet you needed a Fraggle to do it in the first place!"

[takeittothebridge]

He glanced at Gobo curiously. "A Fraggle? How so?"
