emotional motion sickness.

“well, it won’t be the first time i know it all,” dodger joked, winking at the male as he leaned back in his chair. “a – a deep fried stick of butter ?” he questioned, raising his brow as he met thomas’ gaze, “well i am willing to give it a shot – i know a few magic welders that can bring me back to life if it ever kills me.”

        “  remember when i had you and your sisters in self defense lessons ?  ”    she says this almost randomly  ,   but this is a thought that had  …  RETURNED  due to recent events  .   a hum  ,   she glances at her eldest daughter  .     “  i know you’re an  adult  now  ,   but how would you feel if i signed you girls up again ?   all three of you  .   elizabeth needs to get out more  …  i’m sure harlow would be fine with it if she could bring stella  ,   and  -  well  ,   you always picked up on it fast  .  ”  

         ♕ ── mal missed magic more than anything, but she promised herself she wouldn’t engage in it anymore. it didn’t seem to help as she opal was so experimented with the power. looking over at her, she was confused for a bit - it wasn’t necessarily something that came to mind with mal. “please don’t let this be some sort of math question, opal. you know i’m terrible at it.” she teased at the girl. “maybe five? or six? it’s not too much, not too little?”

The moment his head broke the surface of the water as he came back up, Marinus actually began smiling. God, it been forever since he’d last had a swim for the hell of it. The enchanted lake felt incredible. “Good for you,” he responded, excessively warm expression wiped away in a second. He could practically feel the skin of his legs itching already as small, lustrous scales began to become more prominent on his calves and thighs. His legs kicked a bit harder to keep him afloat, the boy keeping them separated as much as possible as he splashed his sister right in the face. “Thanks for getting me out here, but I don’t wanna be here very long.” The water did nothing to help his hunger as it had his mood, naturally. If anything, it made it worse - he’d soon noticed there were so many nicely-sized fish swimming at the far side of the lake, agitated by the siblings’ big splashes. “I’m starving.”

– & Those from Pixie Hollow had never been friends or foe in Jackson’s mind, but he had to admit he found a few of them pretty spectacular and Periwinkle happened to be one of them. Perhaps that is why he found himself thoroughly content in the others presence, leaning against the side of a building; watching the snow fall before turning back to the other. “I’m just saying — I think it’d be cool if your wings changed color.”

Living among fairies for her entire life, Periwinkle was still getting used to people who weren’t magical. She had always been curious about the Lost Boys, but the way the other fairies looked at it, spending too much time with them was a Tink specific thing. It was strange that leaving Neverland was her opportunity to get to know the boys better, but she was jumping at the chance. “It would...not that you could see them, anyways,” Peri said with a pout, her wings constrained beneath too few layers for the average person in this weather. “What colors would they be? Wintry things, like different blues?”

— & Her senses aren’t tricking her, there’s no way. She trusts them with her life, wasn’t that what a fox was supposed to do? Rely on your natural intuition as best as you could. “You’re not human.” She offers curiously, a smile almost instantly lighting up her features. “You smell like a dog – oh! Were you a dog? My father’s best friend was a hound, though we haven’t seen him in a very long time. — Shame really.”

@emotionsickncss·

“Aren’t I?” Even the people who knew him as a dog are treating him like he’s human, at least tentatively. Since he has to act like a human, uncomfortable as it is, he should be treated like one, too. “There we go. Yes, I was a dog. I’m hoping that means you’re a dog person, then.” A person who likes dogs, that is, not...a literal dog person like Dude himself.

     needless to say, the god wasn’t particularly used to this sort of thing. the isle had nothing like these coffee shops, and hades had hardly spent much time away from the underworld before the imprisonment had begun. this was all a bit new to him, as annoying as that may be. “ah – yes, it would seem i wasn’t exactly paying attention to the names.” the compliment brings forth a hint of a smile as he holds out the coffee towards her. “why thank you. i tend to be drawn to the blue.”

       though not particularly  USED  to the cold weather  ,   lalli had always been one to be  strong  -  and yes  ,   she considered this a test of strength  .    the dark had  always  been where she was the most comfortable  ;   and one would think the cold was too  ,   but she’d always been a far  bigger  fan of fire  .     “  i  thrive  in the dark  .  ”    that much should be obvious  -  she doesn’t think she’s  EVER  donned a color other than the ruby one on her lips  .     “  but i can see why some would be afraid  .  ”   low chuckle  ,   she glances at him  .     “  not of me  ,   no ?  ”    a genuine question  ,   but she doesn’t want to come off as too  COCKY  either  . 

grin  is  WIDE  ,  expression  reflected  in  dark  hues  and  demeanor  —  he’s  PROUD  of  himself  ,  for  a  change  !  smile  will  fade  into  a  pout  at  the  mention  of  his  stench  —  however  inevitable  it  might  be  (  track  running  is  …  TIRING  ,  to  say  the  least  )  ,  he’s  not  particularly  keen  on  being  smelly  .  especially  with  peri  by  his  side  .   “   hey   —  side  effects  of  running  !   ”   STILL  —  she  means  no  harm  ,  and  for  that  ,  he’s  inclined  to  engulf  her  in  a  hug  ,  smile  cracking  at  the  action  .

          blue eyes will  peer  at the other  ,   head tilts  .   similar to her  ,   but not quite the same as she  .   definitely not a threat  ,   so she has nothing to be suspicious about  .   curious though  …  perhaps  .      “  i do not know of these alternate realities  ,   nor crossed paths  ,   not dimensions you speak of  .   there is only sea  ,   land  ,   and the sky  .  ”    pause  ,   brows will crinkle her nose  .      “  yes  ,   i am lyra  ;   xena’s daughter  ,   full siren  .   you are  … ?  ”  

@emotionsickncss  for wanted a starter !

         she’s up late  ,   working on a paper that  PROBABLY  didn’t need as much effort as she was putting in  -  but old habits have a hard time dying  ,   she knew this  .   a sigh of  exhaustion  escapes her lips and she rubs underneath her glasses  ,   stella doesn’t even remember the last time she  ATE  .   and she’ll glance up  ,   hazel eyes squinting as her eyes fall on the dark haired girl  .   familiar  .     “  viola ?  what are you doing out so late ?  ”  

“thomas, i thought we discussed that you really should stop using your brain when there is no one there making sure it won’t explode,” dodger joked, looking up at the other male before shrugging his shoulders. “haven’t tried them both together. though apart they are delicious so together i imagine they’d be even better. worst come to worst – i’ll die.”

         a blink  ,   before her lips curl into a slight grin  .   she doesn’t mind the interruption  ;   it’s just someone  INTERROGATING  her about the snow  ,   and he’s  a sight  anyways  .     “  pixie hollow !?  ”    fairy turns away from her previous conversation  ,   to him instead  ,   full body perking up  .      “  auradon magic i guess !  queen clarion thought it’d be a good idea to come  ,   and i thought it’d be nice to hang with peter again  .  ”   she looks down at herself  ,   before looking back up  ,   and  blush  will fill her cheeks  .     “  it is  SUPER  clumsy for me to be bigger  .   but  …  i don’t mind much !  i just have to get used to it  ,   i’ve been small  forever  .  ”   she’s still certainly not the tallest  ,   even now  .      “  besides  ,   i get to be with my  twin sister  when i’m here  .  ”  

“Are you implying something?” Elva said, tightly, touching the glowing snowflake pendant at her throat. She should have expected it, honestly. Of course everyone in Auradon would think of her and her mother when they saw this blizzard. “It’s more likely to come from Neverland than Arendelle, the fairies did that whole winter performance, it was the only wintery thing at all after the festival. And only they have the kind of power that could affect all of Auradon.” 

“I got my vaccinations when I got over here, knowing they’re important. I spoke with a doctor and got screened for HPV and I am happily negative thank you very much. I may not know everything but I know some. I just think it’s ridiculous that they assume we don’t know anything.

“No offense intended, but what are they supposed to think? The isle, wrongly, had absolutely no resources to offer you. Not even decent condoms. VKs didn’t have internet access to even do their own research. Exactly how could you learn the ins and outs of safe sex? It’s only fair to you that you’re given the same opportunities we’ve always had, even if it’s later than it should be. And when it comes to your health and safety, clearly some of the VKs are stubborn, hence classes being required rather than voluntary. Even if somehow none of it is new information, it’s still important.”
