[ PEONS OF MATURITY.

and toph isn't about to give into the smell of warm food so easily. of course, that's when her stomach grumbles. for a dream, she's pretty dang hungry.

...urgh. ]

It smells funny.

[freedomofsoul]

[Funny he should compare Hyde to a dog. He flashes a grin.]

Don't prove all bark, now!

[Placing the rim of the vial to his lips, Berserker tips his head back, and pours the dark pink liquid into his mouth. There's only a single beat before it begins to take effect, and the transformation takes only a few moments once it starts. His features distort, jaw growing stronger and protruding. Claws break through the leather of his gloves, as thick, coarse hair sprouts from his body. With elongated, stronger limbs, Hyde hunches, and his eyes seem to glow, and catch the light. The beast is not entirely inhuman, yet distinctly a monster, wolf-like. Yet he is obscured, as if a dark sort of aura, a fog following and encompassing his body and the space around it. Its eyes dart about, red flashes within the darkness of the mist and hair.

And he snarls. Animalistic noises are plenty, but never any words. Nor do many thoughts cross his mind, instead consumed almost entirely by instinct, and a mad, blind rage.]

[gleamed]

[ she knows conceptually what a socket is, but a toaster-specific one? hmm.

she examines the appliance again. ] I see...it's got this slot in the top - oh, and this! [ she uncurls the cord. surely it must be important! ]

[wipedclean]

[He watches her look it over. It looks a little strange to him, though he's not sure why.]

But why do you have it?

just 4 u 1/2

[snipers]

Oh, good. He's not hurt any more than would be expected, and now Yukari knew she didn't have to worry about healing him. That's a load off her mind; the last thing she needs right now is someone asking probing questions.

But then Travis shifted his head.

And Yukari looked down.

[snipers]

And immediately her face flushed bright from embarrassment. Her hands reached down to the hem of her skirt to keep it down against her thighs as she lashed out with a foot with the intention of catching Travis right across the face.

"Wh—What the hell are you looking at!?"

This is the last time she considered helping a stranger. Ugh!

[taffing]

[Garrett's eyes ferret about the room, looking for anything of value.]

Got a bit of a reputation, do you?

[taffing]

[Garrett can't help but tense, not in tension but in anger. In his experience words like those are often thinly veiled threats.]

Can't say I do, old man.

Should I?

[atoned]

Like Earth Kingdom food, so it should be normal for you.

[ he's not even trying to be immature — he just wishes to ease her nerves and get her to eat as she's already short enough. the food here isn't hot enough for zuko. it's almost like mud, sometimes — earth kingdom food tastes like that, but nothing as horrible as uncle's attempts at mud pies. ]

The tarts are nice.

[borntorebel]

[Well, that's good, but his face doesn't look that stupid, to be honest.]

I can see how that would prolong things. You'd think they would be more interested in finding those that are willing to assist them, if they're actually trying to gain any ground in this conflict.

[undividing]

Oh. [ something in her expression seems to change-- not obvious, but there if you know what to look for. this is simple and lovely and kind, and beinion is utterly perfect, and if she hadn't been brought here, she never would have seen anything like this again.

her lips curl, and she gathers her skirts again with her free hand, dipping slightly--careful not to move the hand the little thrush rests against--in greeting of her own. ]

I am very pleased to meet you, Beinion. His Majesty tells me that you are a friend.

[thebreakingwave]

"What do you suggest we do about that then?" Clearly they can't have too many feelings. What would Dasha say? "They put on a good spread, if you haven't eaten yet."

[aureinsof]

[Good because Emil is going to get in his face.]

You sure about that? You look empty to me.

[aureinsof]

[And yet as it happens, Emil's grin only grows wider. A laugh builds in his chest at the sounds of the beast. Some dark creature sharing his very element that thinks he can best him? That's the saddest thing he's heard in a while. Some has to kill it.]

So you really are a pathetic dog! Weak! [He cackles as he jumps back, readying his sword.] You'll regret this!

[Emil leaps forward, sword raised for a blow.]

[cinnamoned]

[Snow can't help being almost amused with how enthusiastic the girl is when she asks and introduces herself. Her cup clatters a little when she places it back to the table and tries to think of how to describe it.]

I'm Snow. It's...nice to meet you, Rapunzel. I'm not sure how much anyone here would know of my home, but....I think the two things I remember most about it would be the woods. And the castle I grew up in. It was a place where good always won. Where there was magic. Both good and dark, which came at a price. Which is why I'm not so sure on all of this here. Though I understand things might work differently here.

[Which is what worries her and makes her curious herself. Given what of the basics she has been told. There's a small sigh, but she looks to Rapunzel, a small smile in place.]

But what about you, where you're from? This is one of the interesting parts of this place, it seems. Hearing about other worlds.

[depicted]

[He can't help but lean back, but he frowns at this.] Then you ought to look again. Perhaps get your vision checked? I've heard red irises can be badly affected by light.

[depicted]

Or—or several moments, I suppose.

[prioritise]

Yes, I suppose it would be several. Have you ever been the subject of one of these 'photographs'?

[freedomofsoul]

[Berserker hears the words, but doesn't process them. With Mad Enhancement taking hold, he only sees what's before him - a threat. Hyde is deeply jealous if his life, and instinct would never allow a beast to forfeit theirs. With his rage, fight or flight leaves only the option to fight, as it is.

A deep rumbling growl comes from within his throat, as he rises from the table, claws scraping the tabletop. In an instant, Berserker raises those claws to Emil. The beast shows wariness for the blade, but an ultimate disregard. It doesn't matter if he's left open to attack, so long as his own lands. So long as he can maul and get out with his life.]

[judicatus]

[ He's grown so used to his rank and station going unrecognized in this land that he very nearly goes along with her assumption. But, of course, his pride demands otherwise. ]

I am Judge Magister, in service to the Archadian Empire and her ruler in House Solidor. [ Even if the state of that rule is, as he last remembers it, in flux. ] Here I fight under the banner of the Seelie court, though it bears little of my allegiance by my own will.

[depicted]

Oh, no, my uncle never seemed to care for them—although Lord Henry said he might like one of me, as Basil will be giving me the picture. [Dorian realizes he has to explain.] Basil is a friend of mine, a painter, and he did a portrait of me that he said is mine to keep. But Lord Henry asked for a photograph and I think I could sit for any amount of time as the photographer does his work, so long as I could listen to Lord Henry speaking, so I don't mind.

1/4

[sokkcasm]

[ sokka tries not to look too offended. but when someone calls one of your friends (yes, even appa) a cow, well. that's just rude. his mouth hangs open for a moment before he realizes he should probably actually use it to form words instead of just gaping indignantly at this strange stranger. ]

[empireofrats]

Judge Magister. [Smiling, she brings a hand around and places it across her chest, lightly touching her left shoulder. A somewhat salute of respect. It's playful, but also perhaps a little serious in the act. She is not mocking him.

Gently, she lowers her arm back.] You're not from this place then either. [It's not a question. She's inspecting his armor without shame or modesty. She likes the aura it gives off, the plate's shine and the hardness of its looks. Solid and powerful. She also likes the cloak.

The helm is a little scary, though. Like Corvo's mask.] Archadia is very lucky to have you, Judge Magister. You look very strong.

...Can you do headlocks, too?

[ofshutup]

[ she gives the hand a suspicious look, but she is kind of tired and this elf looks less weird and untrustworthy that the rest. so beatrice alights on his hand and cocks her head to the side. ]

Sure? If you don't mind. [ she sighs.] You probably know your way around better than I do. And they're really good at getting into trouble really quickly.

actually 2/idk i'll let you know lmfao

[sokkcasm]

For you information, no, there are no cows pictured here. [ he points at appa. then, matter of factly, ] That would be a sky bison.
