It didn't take very long after her arrival for Tinker Bell to discover the Station, and now that she's found it, it just might take a small army to drag her away from it.

(Small army.)

Not that the technology here is all familiar, of course. Most of it is so vastly beyond the familiar that it boggles the mind. When it comes to gadgets and doodads, however, Tink's pretty a-okay with being boggled. Comes of the whole "tinker fairy" thing.

At present she's sprawled out on a table on the patio, hip-deep in electronics as she tears through a small radio. Tiny bits and parts are scattered to and fro across the table-top, and another part, recently detached from the inside of the radio, starts rolling toward the edge of the table.

"Hey--wait, come back here!"

The five-inch tall blond drops what she's doing and chases after the little piece, wings fluttering lightly as she runs. She's so absorbed in what she's doing that she wouldn't even notice if someone happened by at the moment. Not immediately, anyway.

(It should be noted that yes, her speech does sound like a small tinkling bell to anyone of the non-fairy persuasion.)

[ Thinking Shijima is a kid is an acceptable mistake - she does look like one. And she doesn't really take offense. ]

A glamour charm? So your shape didn't truly change, it just appeared to?

[ INTERESTING. It's different than how she manages things. The form she's wearing now, of a girl, is a shapeshift; were she in her natural state, she'd be a cat. ]

I like how Elros is taller |D

"It is." The light in those eyes dimming swiftly in grief and weariness. "They seem especially fond of folk from our world. They place us on separate sides and demand that we repeat the mistakes of our past."

A shuddering breath "They have already cost me my brother Celegorm. Again."

[bythewaves]

[ A curious tip of his head and Maglor shakes his head apologetically ]

I fear that word is unknown to me, Lady. But if your friends are here in this world, you need but call for them over the lockets. If they are not, then no power will be able to reach them, not though you plead your case to the rulers.

[aureinsof]

[As someone with an intimate relationship with monsters, he can't help but want to get that fairy free. Sure, he'd swat one into the wine for pranking him but he wouldn't kill one like this; not unless it outright attacked him. Monsters have more uses than to be killed.]

The only problem is you! You really think a fool like you is worth my time though? That's pretty funny. If you want to try it, then go ahead and make a move!

[aureinsof]

[She really is cute. He tries not to think about it though.]

Not exactly. We do have magic but only some people can use it. I can't. And... I was going to school, too! But a lot of things happened and somehow I got caught up in saving the world. I know that sounds really unbelievable and strange but trust me, it's even weirder for me. So I haven't been back to school in a few months.

XD

[mortalhalf]

Anger darkened his expression at that and Elros placed his other hand on the opposite cheek. "I will not fight this war, ada." The first time in a while that he used that word. Hearing that his people, that his family had been forced back to opposite sides and to fight each other, and that one of them had been lost...

No. He wanted nothing to do with it.

[neverfairy]

[It's still so unnerving to be spoken to by a human (at least a human that isn't either Lizzie or her father), but this one doesn't seem at all surprised that he's speaking to a fairy. It's almost familiar, the way he's addressing her.

Of course, Tink. There are dozens of fairies around here. He even said you're not like them, right?

Still, the suggestion that she sit on a stranger's shoulder leaves Tinker Bell cold, and more than a little confused. Do all fairies do that sort of thing here? Is it considered normal to ride around on the shoulders of people you barely know? Maybe that's why she's "not like" the others. How strange!

Tink smiles and shakes her head, holding her hands up in a conciliatory gesture.]

"That's okay, I'm sure I'll be fine down here. I appreciate the offer, though."

[He probably won't be able to understand her, just like neither Lizzie nor her father understand her, but she tries to exaggerate the smile and the gestures enough so that he'll get the idea regardless.]

[depicted]

[This obviously confuses Dorian.] What?

[bythewaves]

"Oh my beautiful brave one" Maglor shakes his head but does not refuse the touch.

"You may have no choice. They will promise you anything you desire, and when that fails, they will turn to other means. And I have spoken to Death here - he wears the form of a Black Dog - there is no way to return without winning the war, one way... or another."

A breath. "I need to get you home. You ought not be here."

I would do anything to get you home safely

[aureinsof]

[Great! He has Noishe's approval to get on Lloyd's case as hard as he can. He'll keep that in mind for, well, possibly soon from the loops of it. Emil stands and jogs to catch up, keeping behind him. Should he talk? Would Lloyd hear and run? It's not like there are many places to run here.

Right?

On second thought, Lloyd probably knows the area well. Better to stay quiet and behind Noishe until he can talk to him. And what will he say anyway? Hi?

...Maybe.]

[aheartoffire]

Your cheek. [She lifts her hand to touch her own cheek, in the spot where she struck him.] The cut's gone.

[She feels light-headed. There's no way, no way, Thomas said people like them were rare.]

[aureinsof]

[It would be helpful if he bothered to explain himself sometimes instead of speaking so shortly. But whether he actually understood her or just her gestures, he responds well.]

If you change your mind, you can grab me. I'm not going to let someone squash you. I've seen a couple of guys who looked like they wouldn't hesitate to.

[He doesn't sound happy about it, either. And for once he did, actually, explain himself. Possible monsters get better treatment from him than humans.]

I'm... Emil, I guess.

b'awww Maglor

[mortalhalf]

He didn't dismiss the words of experience off-hand, not that it soothed his anger at all. The hands on Maglor's face remain gentle, if firm in staying put. Keeping hold of the older elf as long as he could, now that he had him back. For now.

"Maybe not. If I am given no choice," as in if he was given the choice between killing his own kin and killing others on the opposite side, "I will do what I must. They will not own me."

If it meant leaving and never seeing Maglor again...his heart was torn between what he wanted and what he was needed for. "Does time pass back home while we are here?"

[depicted]

It can't be. You must not be seeing it. [He touches his face, but he can feel nothing.] Do you have a glass?

[aheartoffire]

A mirror? [She digs in her bag, pulling out a little mirror and holding it out. Her hands are shaking.] I'm not a liar and I'm not blind. Your cheek is fine.

he loves you lots okay

[bythewaves]

"That I do not know. There is some argument that there must be something we are missing - drawn as we are from different times, I came from Celegorm's future, as I am from Galadriel's past. Some fall into enchanted sleep, and live centuries in days. The magic here is strange, yonya and I cannot explain it."

He does not move out of Elros' hold, happy to draw comfort this way.

"My bold one. I do not think any could tame you."

[depicted]

[He takes it and holds it up to himself. There are still smears of blood, so he wipes them away. But there is nothing. He tries again, falling to indignity by licking his palm to clear the skin. But there isn't anything at all.] That isn't possible. I was bleeding. I saw the blood. [He stares at her.] You saw the blood. I was bleeding.

[fabulosa]

[Is he real? Because wow does she know a few people who could learn a thing or two from him. Putting down the straightener down, something incredibly hard to get her to do, she crosses over to him a little. Her eyes drift to his hair, noticing a slight sparkle. It's nearly impossible for her to miss them, her eye trained to spot shiny things.]

I like your style Maglor of House Feanor... And Europe is a country.

[One she's been to more times than she can count.]

So, let's say I do the whole braid thing... Where did you get the gems?

[aheartoffire]

[She twists her hands together, heart pounding. Could he not know? How could he not know?]

You haven't... Have you been in an accident lately? Been sick?

network;

[fabulosa]

[She's a rock star at abrupt subject changes so following him into the new subject isn't an issue.

Although, that's totally not a subject she'd have gone for.]

Are you talking like fighting fighting - with weapons and stuff?

[depicted]

No, no, I have been in the very image of health. [He doesn't understand the question at all and attempts] Is there some kind of disease that can do this?

Elros and Elrond have the best dads okay

[mortalhalf]

"If people can be brought from different times, I will content myself to know that we will be returned to our perspective times." Which meant he wouldn't worry as much about having been whisked away as he had been.

"If it turns out false, it will be dealt with then. There seems to be little else we can do."

Finally though, he dropped his hands back to his sides, assured that Maglor wouldn't leave him behind. The anger banked with a wry half smile. "Not without effort and great care." As Maglor and Maedhros learned first hand. How long had he fought them? Even after Elrond had accepted them, he had not.

[fabulosa]

[There's a build of excitement with each word and then she just had to go and ruin it... About Drabworld? Excuse you?]

No. It would be exactly like the inspiration, drab... A big composer like you should be able to do something a little more creative, right?

[Butter her up... Nice and slow.]

Kelsi, with both Ryan and me here I think you can come up with something a little more fabulous.

[monstrous]

[Toby is at a loss. If it could still race, that's what his heart would be doing. His breathing needs to catch up with him before he can speak] I knew there was something special about you, Dorian. The boy who doesn't die, doesn't age, doesn't scar or blemish.
