But...I don't even have my frying pan!

[ rapunzel... ]

[Thankfully, he has this changing stall to hide his physical response.] We have only just met, Mr Matth—Toby.

[metalbends]

[ well that's helpful. and if he thinks she's letting him get away with that after something so cryptic, he's got another think coming. ]

Nuh-uh. Not happening. Start talking, unless you wanna end up waist-deep in the floor here.

[ she'll do it. DON'T THINK SHE WON'T. ]

[boutant]

Something like that.

[ She shrugs, taking another sip of his alcohol. ]

It helps that the library is full of magic books.

[depicted]

[He can accept that, derp that he is.] O-oh, all right.

Are you certain?

[edgar_of_etheria]

Well... Lolotte wasn't my real mother. But sometimes, it's hard not to think of her that way. She stole me when I was a baby and tried to make me believe I was her son. I didn't question her, but some part of me knew it wasn't true. She... was not a nice person. Cruel. Jealous. There was no love in her heart. She was hit by a love arrow, and instead of making her loving... it acted as a poison, and killed her.

But my real mother, Titania... Um. Actually... I don't know her all that well. But she is beautiful and kind and generous and wise...

[metalbends]

[ oh my spirits bolin did you really just

SO MUCH FOR TOPH GIVING HIM A CHANCE TO PROVE HIMSELF. which is totally what she was doing, yep. it wasn't hazing or anything like that.

toph crosses her arms and semi-faces him, looking none too impressed with his reaction or speech. ]

You're sorry you got a boulder bended at you by the greatest earthbender in the whole world? [ TCH. ] Do yourself a favor and avoid Earth Rumble tournaments.

[ if those are even still, you know, a thing in his day and age. but details. ]

[withbite]

[He rolled his eyes and took another drink.]

Magic books don't mean squat to vampires, little missy. We can't do magic. i was hoping it was a ring or something an undead body could use.

[depicted]

[aaaaahhh!!!

Dorian draws back on instinct, also shoving the tablet away from him.] O-of course! If you like! Miss!

[liven]

[ ...

what ]

You normally threaten people with a frying pan?

[monstrous]

[laughs] Does that mean you're really a scoundrel underneath it all? It's always the innocent looking ones.

[boutant]

You couldn't do magic in your world, [ she corrects. ] You might be able to do it just fine here.

[ That said, note to self: keep magical items away from Damon. ]

[depicted]

Of course I do. [Why would he not?] He was at the right side of the station, at the counter.

[withbite]

[He eyed her, reaching out and tapping at her nose.]

There are some things that just can't be fiddled with. Vampires can't do magic because their ties as witches to... nature or whatever it is witches are tied to, if that's what they are before they die, is cut when they die. Just like we can't procreate, either. But hey, if the rules have changed, I wouldn't mind seeing if that one has. What do you say, sunshine?

[depicted]

No, it isn't like that, it is only that—no one is free of sin. And I know I'm not.

[In future years, Dorian will be able to undress in fifteen seconds and put himself back together in thirty. Sadly, baby Dorian has had less practice and so takes more time in the process.]

[mortalhalf]

An apology - from Maglor? Yes, there had been a few occasions before, but...not...like this. And he believed it.

How could he possibly answer? Did he understand? Was the apology accepted? The latter, yes. The former...? Before he could answer, Maglor was stepping away. He reacted without thought, stepping after him and reaching to grab hold of whatever he could.

"Do not...! Not again," the latter was whispered as he ducked his head. Feeling like a child again. Look at him indeed.

But he pushed that aside and made himself look back up, then around.

"Have you seen anyone else from home here?" Elrond...perhaps?

[cagedinflesh]

Certain of what, exactly? I am certain I had no intention of being cruel. If I overstep, you'll reprimand me, won't you? I wish to fully immerse myself in the mindset of this age, but you see, it proves to be incredibly difficult without my mentor. It is a perilous thing. So you must chastise me for any transgressions, Mr. Gray, and do not hold back for politeness.

[Stand up for yourself, poor, shy boy.]

[depicted]

I could not chastise you for anything, Dr Jekyll. [He manages a slightly braver smile.] How could I be so rude to the Royal Society?

[aheartoffire]

[She seizes the thing so he won't drop it, and grabs his sleeve in case he falls over backwards.] Woah! Careful, bunny. You'll break something else, and it'll probably hurt.

[She lets go of him, turning the tablet back and forth, upside-down, backwards, unknowingly imitating Dorian's earlier actions.] Here, what's this?

[It is, in fact, the on switch. The screen lights up and Frankie bounces in victory.] There, see! Everything's jake.

[She holds it back out to him.] This place is berries, isn't it? You can't even breathe without getting magic in your mouth.

aw, Rapunzel. <3

[cinnamoned]

[Of course she knows the basic story of Rapunzel. She knows many, though not always the fairytales in the most traditional sense, in her experience and reading. Therefore, what little she does vaguely recall reading may not necessarily holds true. It might not even be 'Rapunzel', given Snow is simply grasping at the first name that comes to mind with such long hair. But that doesn't stop her staring as Rapunzel sits next to her.]

Oh! Hi, yourself. I take it you're new here too? You seem pretty excited with all of this.

[Which, part of her could understand to some degree, something so new and different for most. Even if Snow herself is worried in regards to the whole 'war' business. That's certainly not stopping everyone trying to enjoy themselves, after all.]

[cagedinflesh]

[It's okay, they probably think he's a quack by now, so, it would only be agreeing with them!

Jekyll laughs, and feigning importance, raises his chin a little higher.]

Ignoring my request would be to disregard the orders of a Doctor of Laws, and more besides!

[boutant]

[ Her nose scrunches. ]

I'm fine without children.

[monstrous]

Yeah, but some sins are worse than others.

You shouldn't want to be my friend. You're a good person, Dorian, and I'm - I am not.

[withbite]

You say that now... Hormones are strange things.

[boutant]

Do you even still have hormones?
