[Don't worry Waver, Jack's even more surprising in looks. It's a good thing they've settled on audio, as his face instantly falls in that realisation.]

...I...suppose there is that factor, yes. That's what troubles me, if it's enough to disregard my ideals.

[starspangled]

You saved my life.

[The rest of it doesn't matter, not their fight on the helicarrier, not the beating that put him into the hospital. Steve had completed his own mission. If Bucky was really lost to him, he was prepared to let the soldier finish his.

But he fell instead, willingly this time, waded in the way Bucky always did and saved his life.

Steve's eyes go a little wider, hopeful at that last bit of info.]

You saw it? So you know I didn't lie to you.

[And sowing that first little bit of trust is so important to him.]

Cards don't work here. [ shortly. it's helpful connor 101 time ]

[There's silence. There's a whoooole lot of silence while Ryan tries to figure out how, exactly, he's going to deal with this one. Shar's not going to be happy if she figures it out first and as much as he dislikes the Drabwurld sometimes, nobody needed to deal with her wrath this early on.]

Well at least you've got your priorities straight. [There's a huff.] Don't worry about it, I'm going to figure out how to get you back over here. Sounds like the fairies just led you to the wrong place.

[He hopes. As much as he wishes for that to be true, there's still that pretty loud voice in his head that says "hey, doofus, she's actually supposed to be over there duh." He liked ignoring that voice a lot though.] Okay so you're in the castle right? Head outside if you can.

[playmakings]

[ She swears, sometimes, that she can feel Sharpay's presence. It's a cold draft, the hairs on the back of her neck sticking up, and--

--Yeah. She shivered. That means, if she takes her earbuds out and sloooooooooooooooooowly turns around, she'll-- ]

It--

[ There's no actual sound that comes out of her, but it's very alarmed and it's halfway between a meep and a startled hiccup. Sharpay's here. Sharpay's here. Okay, focus. Get this. Okay. Let's go, Kels. Deep breath, because they're all Wildcats, right? There's no way Sharpay's a holy terror. Not with the fairy world. Right. ...Right? ]

Sharpay! Sharpay, over here.

[ Come sit with her before she chickens out and just sinks into her chair and hides forever. ]

[gordianknots]

I believe the rule of thumb is what you practice in actuality, rather than your ideals.

[half_faerie]

[Tristran has given up trying to find Yvaine at the party. If she was there he would know it. That strange, unknown part of him that simply knew where things were would have sensed the star by then, and he would have found her, and together they would have begun making their way... somewhere.

He has come out to try to clear his head, to look at the night sky and try to find answers. He wasn't planning on encountering anyone else.]

Oh. I'm terribly sorry. Is this your balcony?

sneaks...in.... 2

[wilder]

[Stop him from being embarrassed? Never. If anything, Zelos is just going to slide on over and sit in a chair across from Emil]

Hey Emil! Did you change your hair? It looks good today!

[fabulosa]

[Ugh. Well that changes things.]

Alright. So what does?

[Everybody and everything had a price. This was just gonna take a little more work than she'd anticipated.]

[wipedclean]

[Where most people would shift uncomfortably in such a situation, he only goes more still, the only outward sign of the uncertainty burning in his mind the way his gaze shifts away and down to the ground.]

No. You didn't.

[Part of him says that should change things. But he's not sure that it has.]

[tintalle]

[ the apology and inquiry earns a bright, chiming laugh, and varda shakes her head once, smile warm as she glances to him. ]

No, I am as newly arrived as you yourself seem to be. [ she dips her chin briefly, polite and welcoming. ] I simply needed the night sky and the breeze. [ though it had brought more melancholy than anything-- but at least this new arrival is distraction enough from such things. ]

[fabulosa]

[She knows that sound. Eyes raise slowly from her inspection of her straightener and rest on the mousy brunette her twin seems ridiculously attached to.

Giving a tight smile, she crosses over to her, putting on the best enthusiastic face she can muster. Until she got a little bit more of a solid footing here, she needed everyone she could wrap around her finger.]

Oh my god, Kelsi! It's so good to see you!

[How far does she want to push this? Should she hug her? SIGH everyone has to make sacrifices every now and then...

There you go, Kelsi, have a hug from Sharpay before she settles in next to her.]

I didn't know anyone else was here. It's so good to see a familiar face.

[dressup]

[That is both disgusting yet she had to laugh at the puffy cheeks. Elizabeth just going to offer Korra the nearest napkin.]

I was hoping if you have seen a young man wandering around. [Holding her hand up to imply someone's height.] He's about this tall, dark hair, and he has an eyepatch over his right eye!

[cagedinflesh]

It is what I practice. There may have been a lapse, but I don't, voluntarily, any longer...

[It makes sense Hyde would be Underlie, but he's still more himself than Hyde, right?]

Wildcaaaaaard!

[bythewaves]

[ There's an elf at the station, watching bad TV (look, its a hobby) and he looks up when Sadie comes in ]

Forgive me, did you want to watch something?

SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE WUSS i mean

[idealistic]

[ ah... so he's like Lloyd: separated from his friends in this strange world. he has an idea of he's going through right now-- it's much like how he was separated from Kratos for fourteen years, left on Sylvarant to care for Lloyd.

it's still no good to worry about them, though. Noishe paws at the ground with another whine, snuffing at Emil for good measure.

chin up, friend! wherever they are, they're definitely okay! ]

[eye_of_isis]

[...there is an Elf watching the telly. What]

No, just to see if they get my show here. I doubt they will, but it can't hurt to look.

[She is so behind on the Doctor it isn't funny]

[bythewaves]

Your hair? [ He blinks and tips his head curiously ]

What seems to be the trouble? You have lovely hair, milady, and I would not have thought that it was a... 'hot mess' ?

[aureinsof]

[At least Emil gets a moment of happiness. He's not alone!]

Zelos! I'm so happy to see you. I was really worried no one was here but-- [Wait.] Wait? My hair? Uhm... Maybe I brushed it longer than usual?

network;

[fabulosa]

Fairies?

[Excuse you? Also, there's a serious look of dislike on the whole 'going outside thing'.]

So - I go outside and then what?

[Because there are freaky things in the castle and she's too pretty to die.]

[dressup]

[What a nice man!]

I am actually looking for someone. An young man almost to my height with dark hair and an eyepatch over his right eye. I have a terrible feeling that he got taken away to this place as well, but do not worry if you haven't seen someone like that. I am just being a concerned fianceé.

[She knows that Ciel would have Sebastian with him and all of that, but even she can worry.]

[gordianknots]

Then I'm afraid you'll have to do some self reflection in order to understand how this has worked out at is has.

You could always walk away from both courts, if you're so discontent.

[bythewaves]

[ He apparently has a weakness for horribad TV dramas, what can he say?

Allll in the Bloooody Beautiful~ sings the jingle TUNE IN NEXT WEEK TO FIND OUT MORE! WILL THE CHILD BRING DESTRUCTION OR PEACE? WILL MICHAEL BE REUNITED WITH HIS WIFE? NEEEEEXT WEEK ON THE BLOODY BEAUTIFUL!

Maglor smiles quietly and shrugs, offering her the Re-mote ]

Please, by all means - it seems my show has ended. I do not know what they have showing, but perhaps you might find something agreeable.

Elspeth | Mage Winds | Scenario 01 @ Seelie

[mageprincess]

[If there's something Elspeth really hates, is being dragged off against her will to what she calls a "Great Destiny". So when she wakes up in a strange world, and more importantly without Gwena, she instantly demands an explanation from the people nearest her. The answers she gets from all kinds of creatures don't satisfy, and not even the offered distractions are enough to quench her temper.

She walks around the court, looking grim and grumpy. She wishes she could set up a Gate to go home, but she can't find a nearby source of Power she can handle. Maybe she can find a mage around here who can tell her how they work their magic here, so she can go back as quickly as possible. After all, a Herald's duties never wait.]

OOC: Feel free to meet her around the feast, though she might not be very polite at the moment.

[eye_of_isis]

[Sadie just. Side-eyes the screen at that jingle. There is an Elf watching soap operas. What the hell.]

Never mind, I get the feeling they won't have anything I like. It's more sci-fi, less fantasy.
