xiao zhan. cis male. he/his. 33/2000+. ⸻ king roberon cole welcomes iles xu to fabletown—or, as they were once known, the nightingale from the nightingale. before the magic mirror, they come glamoured in the mirage of a song most ethereal weaving through tendrils of cigarette smoke; a song of mourning, a dirge, a hymn, all at once. dreams of mercies misplaced and misused - smothering the dreamer in his requiem. wounds bathed in gentle moonwash, stitching together once more. the tale from which they hail exalted their + mercy and + beguiling song, but decried their - pride and - sensitivity in equal measure. no matter; this time, they shall write their own. in accordance with the fabletown compact, they are granted amnesty for any and all transgressions, even that which is little known: he healed the adversary from a mortal wound, naively misplacing his sympathy - an act he regrets . ⸻ helene, 28+, est, she/her. / a performer slot at the pudding & pie.

dorothy ( dorothy gale ) is seeking a platonic/other connection in the form of their mentor "the wizard" of oz . they should appear to be 35+, and take the glamour of utp. you do not need to contact before reserving or applying. ⸻ it had been many years since dorothy first journeyed to the land of oz . since she danced along the yellow brick road , hand in hand with misfits , chasing the shimmer of a distant city carved from emerald light , , , but the magic of that land had soured . what once glittered with whimsy now festered in her memory like a dream gone rancid . spoiled like sour milk . it had rotted in her mind into something grotesque and spectral — a waking nightmare that seeped into her sleep , blurred the lines between fantasy and reality , and left her questioning which was worse . dorothy's impressionable strings , once free , had become tangled at the hands of another ; bent to the whim of the wizard himself ( no longer a bumbling charlatan behind a curtain , but a conspiring presence who had twisted her fragile memories to serve his cause ) . he had whispered stories of betrayal , of stolen power , of glinda the good's treachery ; the woman who once ruled with light painted , instead , as the architect of oz's decay . dorothy , a seasoned accidental witch-killer hardened by years of delusion and blind loyalty , believed him — in fact , she had hung on to every word . in the wizard , she had seen a savior ; perhaps the only one left who could cleanse the land of its creeping shadows . she follows him not with innocence , but with resolve , convinced that if she purges oz of glinda’s lingering stain , and rids the world of witches entirely , then oz might finally become a place she can return to without fear of her own heart being torn from her chest whilst it's still beating.

qin weilong (the huntsman) is seeking an antagonistic connection in the form of their curse bestower, the evil queen. they should appear to be 45+, and take the glamour of lena heady, rosamund pike, tang wei, tawny cypress, marisol nichols, or any fc. you do need to contact them at @talesoncetold before reserving or applying. ⸻ [ now playing blame by bastille ] ..... perhaps they had enough shared history for her to entrusted her trust, or perhaps she had simply heard of his reputation as a capable hunter and slayer. ultimately, the queen had commissioned the huntsman to kill snow white. whereas the huntsman had shown mercy, she had no problem to show how merciless she was by getting rid of the people he loves most and putting a curse on him, turning him so much more like the monsters he had hunted before. despite the compact pardoning any past crimes, he had not so easily forgiven her. not when her curse on him still holds up in the mundane world, and certainly not for the love she had snuffed out of his life. but how does she feel by this turn of events? does she actually feel remorse, or does she still goad him with the fact that she can roam free without consequences?

adria arjona. cis woman. she and her. 35/437. ⸻ king roberon cole welcomes lucía carrillo to fabletown—or, as they were once known, la llorona from mexican folklore. before the magic mirror, they come glamoured in the mirage of rosary beads worn thin between trembling fingers, mud — slick silk with stained wet hems and flowers tangled in damp hair, the smell of myrrh and dried roses, a walking elegy. the tale from which they hail exalted their devotion and insight, but decried their jealousy and malice in equal measure. no matter; this time, they shall write their own. in accordance with the fabletown compact, they are granted amnesty for any and all transgressions, even that which is little known: lucía did not drown her children out of spite or madness, but mercy — to spare them from a curse placed upon their bloodline by a spurned witch, one lucía once called sister. ⸻ liv, 25, est, she/her. / néstor carrillo's estranged wife wc.

tony leung. cis man. he/him. 59/600+. ⸻ king roberon cole welcomes qin weilong to fabletown—or, as they were once known, the huntsman from snow white. before the magic mirror, they come glamoured in the mirage of a man haunted by regrets— a pair of brown eyes awake and alert, even if it's only to avoid the dream of a pleading child, her face flickering between the girl he let flee into the woods or his own who paid the price; a dagger drenched in crimson, never enough to quench the insatiable and grotesque hunger nor his burning desire to avenge those he lost; the lingering question, suffocating him each passing night: how does it feel to be the monster you have spent your whole life hunting? the tale from which they hail exalted their resourceful and intuitive, but decried their surly and resentful in equal measure. no matter; this time, they shall write their own. in accordance with the fabletown compact, they are granted amnesty for any and all transgressions, even that which is little known: the huntsman had shown mercy, and in the end, he had lost everything that had made him human. ⸻ anna, 27, gmt+7, she/they.
