blueberryprincess: found on tumblr (he did what now)

video:

[ The blue-haired girl on the screen looks mildly annoyed, as if it's just barely under the surface and she's trying her best to keep herself composed. She is, after all, a princess. She was taught to keep her composure, even in the worst situation and while this isn't the biggest mess she's been in? It still sucks, for a variety of reasons. One of which is the temporary housing she finds herself in, but that's a rant for another day. ]

Evie Grimhilde, hi. Pleasure to meet you, I'm sure.

[ At least she's telling the truth, there. ]

I'm familiar with this whole 'in the wrong universe' situation. I spent a year in a wild west colony on another planet. Showed up there outside their Customs and Processing building while I'd been on the way to classes.

This time around, I was on my way home and suddenly, I'm here. I had someone traveling with me and I'm hoping they're here, too.

[ She shifts some on the twin bed she's seated on, trying to find a way to sit comfortably but not quite managing. Or maybe she's just stressed from her interrupted trip. ]

His name is Jack Kelly. You'll know if you met him. He's tall, dark hair, blue eyes, muscular.

[ And she's clearly fond of this guy. ]

And a bit rough around the edges, but friendly. If you've seen him, let me know. It'd be nice to be in an unfamiliar place with someone familiar. I know, the likelihood of that happening are slim to none. But, one can't help but hope.

[ That being said: ]

In the mean time, I was wondering what people could tell me about employment opportunities. I'm fantastic at cooking and sewing. I had my own custom clothing store back in New Dodge, the place I was before here. I'm also interested in chemistry. Straight A student back in Auradon and I helped with a crisis or two in the aforementioned space colony. If anyone has job suggestions, please let me know. I don't sit idle very well.

[ With that, she shuts her feed down and sighs, frowning some to herself. N o p e. She likes none of this goblin refuse. ]

My left foot, friendly! Sure!--what da hell, Evie?!?

[The young man that explodes onto the network is pissed off--but the brightness of his eyes betrays something else...something Evie's doing a far better of holding together than he is.]

Get one thing straight right now, sister: if you ain't safe at home? You damn sure bettah be right here wit' me, so where do you get off disappearin' like dat, hah? Hah?!?

Now listen here, you dizzy dame: lookin' fer youse gonna take too long. I'm walkin' right da hell outside, and you bettah be out there fast so's I can kiss you hello, 'cause if you ain't? I'm haulin' you back ta my room fer a month a'Sundays, and I ain't lettin' you outta my damn sight, you hear me?!

[personal profile] goodolcapnjack 2018-08-18 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[Scoffing at the princess who could kick his ass? You bet your life. Is he scared of her?

...well, yeah, but that's never stopped him before. Never mind, he's already on the move.]


Shake a leg, sister--you know I can get real nasty when someone comes between me 'n my best girl. Someone gets in my way in these halls? I'm knockin' 'em down.

Here's an idea: howzabout you help me out, 'cause I got no damn idea which way I'm goin' in dis crazy joint!

[However, as he says it there's a distant echo, the voice on the phone clashing with a voice down the hall on a delay in a jumble of sound that's all Jack Kelly.

Angry and frustrated newsie at three o'clock.]

Evie?

[ Regina's staring at the girl on the screen, and she doesn't dare blink or even breathe in case she disappears again.

She'd swept into Regina's life in a blaze of beautiful blue, turned her heart upside down, and then there'd been Mal, and Jay, and Carlos-- and then Other Evie, Other Jack, little EJ who had called her Nana.

And then in the time it had taken to deliver her unexpected family to their safe new home, the first Evie had left again, taking a huge chunk of Regina's heart with her. She'd planned to visit, and then she'd wound up here somehow. Alone again and too desolate about it to do anything but decide she absolutely wasn't staying a minute longer than she had to in this common room.

Just now, two days into self-pity binge that had gotten old, she'd turned on the network and there was that beautiful face again. But no mention of her. Did this Evie even know her?

Her heart beats wild and desperate with the need for this to be the daughter she didn't have, and her eyes are bright with tears she refuses to shed, even as she combs her fingers through her hair. ]


Do you... do you know me?

fondofapples: (light I chase)

Re: video:

[personal profile] fondofapples 2018-08-18 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At that of course, the emotion in Regina's eyes shines to match Evie's and the uncertainty fades into a smile all the more beautiful for being so elusive. ]

When I got back from settling your sister and EJ and Jack and you were gone...

[ She shakes her head, not quite unseating the lizard sitting on her shoulder with its feet tangled in her. It doesn't matter now. ]

I'm glad you're here too, sweetheart. Where are you? I'll come to you.
fondofapples: (pursed)

Re: video:

[personal profile] fondofapples 2018-08-19 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Maleficent, who is for every intent and purpose nothing but a lizard, doesn't even know she's being spoken to. Regina pets her little lizard head and neck to settle her down. Her tongue flicks out at the screen.

That's about the best you're going to get from her, Evie.

But Regina's much more expressive. ]


If you ever take off on me like that again... [ It's clear she was hurt and is angry, but there's not a shred of threat in her voice. Just maternal protectiveness and the anger can't hold a candle to love and relief she feels at seeing Evie. ] I'll come after you.

You and Jack.

[ Her lips purse into a small tight frown. ] Don't say the room number. Text it to me. I don't want anyone viewing this feed to know where to find you.

I'm in temporary housing for the moment, but we're not staying her. Tomorrow, the three of us will have breakfast and go find a house. Maybe one big enough for if Mal and the boys come, too.

[ ... and there they were, the words Regina had been wanting to say to Evie since she returned from Dark Dodge and there'd barely even been time to explain anything. And now she can't do this anymore, not in video.

As soon as she gets the room-number, she smiles softly and nods. ]
Don't go anywhere.

[ The screen fills up with purple and then goes blank.]

* * *

Regina's heart wouldn't stop racing but she didn't care if she couldn't catch her breath. She needed to see Evie, right now, face to face. So she knocked on the door, waiting impatiently while Maleficent scampered down her arm and into her pocket.

"Evie?"

Regina has no words for Evie either at the moment. She wraps her arms around the girl who isn't but might have been her daughter if she hadn't poisoned her womb or turned the Sheriff away. She's always been on the clingy side as a mother, just ask Henry, so her fingers are still smoothing that pretty blue hair after she steps back.

"I love you, too, Evie." The backs of her fingers brush Evie's cheek. "Hello, sweetheart."

"You, too."

It was strange now, to try to talk like everything hadn't changed. Like they hadn't found each other in two worlds, now, as if the threads of fate or True Love were binding them together. She didn't know what to say, so she said what she felt.

"I'm starting to feel related to the Charmings after all. This is what they do. They find each other." And she felt that, yes, she would do whatever she had to to find Evie now.
fondofapples: (beautiful scrutiny)

Re: Action: BEST FAMILY HANDS DOWN

[personal profile] fondofapples 2018-08-27 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"We can explore a bit of our new home." Regina had no more desire to be trapped in a ten by ten space than Evie, and sitting awkwardly across each other in a small space trying to talk wasn't who they were.

"The Shrine has gardens. Shall we check them out? Maybe find some coffee along the way?" This also felt awkward, but only because Regina didn't plan outings. Walking and talking with Evie would be perfectly natural.
fondofapples: (cute smile)

Re: Now they finally get to talk about stuff.

[personal profile] fondofapples 2018-08-28 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
As she had nothing else to do and nowhere else to be, Regina waited patiently for Evie to leave her boyfriend a note. This, too, was a sign of her attachment to Evie, since "wait" and "patient" weren't normally in her vocabulary let alone in her repertoire of actions. But for Evie, she simply sat with her ankles crossed and hands resting loosely in her lap.

"Walk beside me," she said when Evie was ready and she stood to join her. "It's much easier to talk that way." Then she smiled to say she wasn't being bossy or peevish the way her own mother might have been, but rather inviting Evie to be her friend as well as her almost-daughter.
fondofapples: (hugging female friend)

[personal profile] fondofapples 2018-08-29 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
When Evie takes her arm, Regina relaxes into a comfortable smile and pace. She's not Henry, but the feeling of being with her is similar, because like Henry, Evie's a True Believer. Her faith in Regina can carry her a long way in Henry's absence.

She pats Evie's hand where it rests on her arm and then lets her hand swing free. "No matter the intention, a small space always feels like a cage." At least to those who'd been trapped in one ever, or held anywhere they didn't want to be. "Freedom was what I wanted at your age, too. Freedom and love."

Although it hurts even now to think of Daniel, it's time-dulled and soothed by finally having her closure with him. Her smile carries only a hint of wistfulness when she shares it with Evie. "Tell me about him. Jack. Tell me how you met and how you fell in love." He makes Evie happy, and that's enough for her as an almost-mother. As a friend, she wants to know it all.
fondofapples: (stepmama)

[personal profile] fondofapples 2018-08-29 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
While Evie talks, Regina's perfectly content to listen. It's a pleasant afternoon, the air has a light, clear warmth to it, and Evie's happy. The boy's story is a bit unexpected, but she'd been bored in Storybrooke and read a lot, so it's not entirely unfamiliar.

It also explains his 'colorful' speech. Regina's nowhere near the snob her mother was, but she's still glad to know it's historical. Evie deserves the best of everything.

What she hears in Evie's voice when she talks about the Newsie is the same pure, almost innocent love she'd felt for Daniel and it makes her smile. A little wistfully, maybe, but not bitterly at all. Although the first thing she's doing if her own mother arrives is sealing that boy's heart in his chest. And Evie's next. Him first, because Evie will be interesting enough to survive the first assault. Jack would be dead before Cora learned his name.

She's surprised to hear the hint of uncertainty in Evie's tone when she says she thinks he loves her, and it's a hint that Regina's thoughts may have gotten away from her. She thinks back over what Evie said to find the thread and then nods knowingly. Not having heard the words yet, the uncertainty makes sense.

Regina pauses and turns to lift Evie's chin on her fingers. "Trust me, that boy is crazy about you," she says, and then she kisses Evie's brow unselfconsciously.

[There are a few things that catch Trunks' eye, besides oh hey--someone with Blue Hair who hopefully isn't another unknown relative from another timeline.]

Were you traveling with this person when you left wherever you were? Like, in the same vehicle or really close in proximity or something?

[Because data-points, and information! He's also interested in that whole 'having been to another world thing before' too.]

As for a job, the paper's a good place to look once it's out. It's always got job listings in it. You've listed your skills, but what are you interested in?

[Oh yeah, and manners. There's a half-bow, and a bit of a sheepish smile.]

Sorry, also--didn't mean to pelt you with questions right away. My name is Trunks Brief. I also arrived here with a traveling companion, except Mai and I were pulled from the same point in time, and arrived here at the same time. Hence my questions...

[personal profile] light_of_willpower 2018-08-19 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[It's weird he gets complimented on it, so don't mind the blink and moment of awkward.]

Th-thanks. And that is eerily close to Mai and myself, when we arrived. We were in the same vehicle and everything, but woke up here in the different pods. We did wake up at the same time though...

[Gonna be making some notes about that, as it's another data point.]

You sound like my sister...which reminds me also--

[Another sheepish smile, hand coming up behind his head and scratching at his neck.]

There is no not-awkward way to ask. Are you sure we're not related somehow? My family here so far consists of my mother from one universe, me from another, and my baby sister from a third--and all of us from different timelines. Like--how I don't have a baby sister in the universe I'm from.

[Better to ask now, and get it all out, right? Stranger things have happened.]

Re: [Video]

[personal profile] light_of_willpower 2018-08-19 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Considering I've never had a sister until she showed up about 2 months ago? I'm still getting used to it, but it's not meant as a bad comparison.

[He's learning; being teased by Bulla has helped.]

The odds are low, but with my family? I figured I'd ask. Far as I know none of us have ever had anything to do with a magically barricaded prison island. You don't have our last name, either...which helps.

[You probably don't want his last name, Evie.]

More seriously though, it shouldn't be too hard for you to find something. Bulla has a job as an aesthetician at a yoga studio. I'm part-time with Torchwood and the rest of the time have been doing the occasional odd job or helping Mom get Capsule Corps up and running. Mai works for a mechanics. Really, you shouldn't have any trouble finding something--I just got lucky in that there was family here for me already and we're used to sticking together.

I'd definitely check the paper though for specific listings. If you haven't got the latest one I can find where our copy went, and pass the information to you.

Work wise there is always being a freelance tailor. I've done that myself, but the downside is you get a lot less pay than if you were to work in a store I believe.

[She technically still does it but is planning on stopping when her business was finally up and running. She still wasn't sure as of yet.]

But hello and welcome.

It would, but I managed to get by with it. But then again, I use most of my work pay on where I live more than anything.

[Soon that won't be so much of a problem though.]

So getting a decent job is always a good idea when it comes to where you live. Some of the places are expensive after all.

[She paused for a moment.] Ah, thank you. Though I might not have it for much longer. I'm thinking of cutting it.

That is a lot of people and if you all pool what you do have together I am sure you can afford most places.

[She paused. She honestly wasn't sure.]

I don't know, I just know short at least. Which I guess would be weird as I am used to having it long. But that is if I go through with it anyway. [She smiled slightly.]

I forgot to say I like your hair too. It's lovely.

[Interesting. If what the girl claims is true in regard to her intelligence, then Lust has everything she needs for a candidate to make the Philosopher's Stone: the knowledge of alchemical compounds and formulas, the intelligence to learn how to inscribe transmutation circles, and someone she cares about to serve as a catalyst.]

[Of course, Lust still isn't certain if a Philosopher's Stone can be created out of this world's "people" but she's more than willing to make an attempt. She has nothing to lose.]


Chemistry, hm? Interesting.

[She's leaning back against her desk, a few meaty tomes stacked next to her gloved hand.]

If you're as gifted as you claim, perhaps I could be persuaded to take on an assistant. Perhaps a pupil if you show aptitude.

My, that must have been quite the undertaking.

[She chuckles warmly, closing her eyes and lowering her head for a moment.]

There will certainly be no shortage of jobs and opportunities for you to make the most of your skills in that case. You're welcome to apply here at the Ivory Tower should you wish to study alchemy and transmutation. I haven't had the opportunity to teach anyone outside of my world just yet, but the possibilities are intriguing.

That it is. There are limitations and laws to keep in mind, naturally. But it can serve many useful purposes, and for the truly gifted, it may yield exceptional gifts.

[Lust inclines her head.]

You may borrow one of the beginner's primers if you wish to dabble, and see if it strikes your interests. Should that be the case, I can tutor you further.

That’s an unfortunate thing to be familiar with...

Well! Welcome to Genessia, none the less. My name is Eliot Durant, and I’ve been here for quite some time. For employment, it’s quite possible to open one’s own business after meeting some specific residency requirements. I believe there to be a number of restaurants here that might appreciate some new menu direction.
