Lastly came Winter cloathed all in frize

[There appears to be fog or steam rising up around the woman as she appears on screen, in reality it's because behind her is a field of ice leftover from when she froze the water coming out of the pod so she could walk across it without getting wet. Her hair is down, all adding the the abnormal lack of color and making the dark lips and shifting colors in her eyes even more obvious. Her eyes are only sort of in the direction of the screen because she is holding the brochure in her other hand, flipping it over to see if there is any more explanation for whatever god had the audacity to pull her away from what she was supposed to be. And only a god would have that ability because there was no way any humans even in large numbers could have managed the task against her will.]This is unacceptable.

[Gaze lifting from the device in her hand to the surrounding city the Queen looks... annoyed. Which isn't the best mood to have her in but isn't all that uncommon either.] Handmaiden. [Now that sounds more like a demand than a randomly thrown out word. And it is. She's calling for the Leanansídhe and is even more annoyed when the woman does not appear. She'd call for her Knight if she thought he wouldn't run the other direction just to be difficult, he generally had to be suborned into service. Her eyes narrow as she steps out onto a street with passing people and they barely seem to pay her any mind which is not common at all.] Creatures of this demesne, explain.

[And that's about the time things start going frosty all around her, it even crackles into the edges of the screen, icing up trees behind her and something cracks as it freezes so quickly then explodes in a shower of ice shards and wood. One of the lower branches of a tree off to her left side.]

Really, Why not? They can be pretty capable if you give them a chance.

[Forgive her... She's not exactly the sharpest knife in the crayon box.] </>

Are they creatures? I always thought that people were people, and creatures were other things. Y'know, like monsters and stuff.

It is simply not possible. Every human could wish it and it would not occur.

[Her head tilts just a bit, the motion not human at all.] It was my understanding that humans had books in which they might derive such meanings. [That's right she's telling you to find a dictionary.]

Well if they all had that attitude about it, they probably wouldn't be able to.

...We do? What's it called? I'll look into it sometime.

[Mab does not understand what attitude has to do with fact.]

Perhaps you should ask your peers.

That I can do.

[There's a brief pause.]

Oh right, you just got here, didn't you? do you need any help getting yourself set up?

Set up? [She has not yet considered that she'll need to find a mortal abode. So she gives you puzzled look.]

Well... Odds are you're probably going to be here for a little while, as I haven't seen anyone here go home yet, so your probably going to need a place to live

I-I could help you find a place you might like?

I do not have 'a little while' in which I can be away from my duties.

[The sidhe purses her lips and frowns.] For the moment it might be useful.

Right, well... I'm not really sure how to get back you back to those duties, or how to get anyone back to where they came from for in the first place.

Just what are your duties anyways?

[Oh hey, she wants to go find a place, that'll get a smile out of Ruby.]

Great, are you at the Bay still? I'll come and get you.

Such information has great cost, mortal child. Suffice to say I am Mab, Queen of Air and Darkness. Half of my world's weather is dependent on my presence and it's counterbalance to summer though this does not detail all that I am.

I am outside though I have not traveled far.

A great cost? Is that more than $3.50? Because that's all I have on me at the moment.

Half of weather in the entire world!? Wow... You must be like crazy important where you're from.

Who controls the other half?

[Don't worry Mab, it's clear she's on the move while she's asking you all these questions.]

I'll be there in a jiffy, just stay where you are.

I have little use for human currency.

[The sidhe pauses for a moment in contemplation of the meaning of her sentence and finally decides to respond with,] Yes. Crazy.

My counterpart Titania controls Summer.

It comes in handy here, you might want to pick up some more. Well the envelope that you woke up with should have enough to last you awhile, but still.

Oh and what's she like?

[It doesn't take Ruby took long to get to the Bay from where she is now. Mab will likely see a girl in a red hood approaching from the distance.]

[The fae have a terrible habit of turning leaves and such into currency that disappears eventually.]

Hmm.

She is my opposite.

[Mab sees the red and stands perfectly, inhumanly still as the girl approaches. Her feline eyes cool and focused. If Ruby can feel power she's got it rolling off of her. Unchecked though the ice around her is starting to melt at least.]

[Well that's just rude.

Ruby unfortunately can't sense any sort of energy, however, the ice around her reminds her a little of her sisters aura, except opposite because Yang's aura is fiery not icy.]

Oooooh so cool...

[Head in the game Ruby, stop focusing on the ice powers.

She'll casually approach Mab, she doesn't seem too bothered by her inhuman stillness.]

Uhm. Mab, right? Ready to go?

[She would beg to differ. But they are from very different worlds. Even if she'd been from the human world where Mab's story originates. Fairy is very different from the human realm.]

[Her focus sharpens as the girl uses her name. A name that can be used to summon her as well. Her Knight may have some damage control to do eventually.]

[The Winter Queen is tall, nearly six feet though she can appear any size she'd like, she looks down at the girl and dips her head once in acknowledgement before stepping forward, hands innocuously at her sides.] Indeed. I am. [Both Mab and ready to go.]

[Well she shouldn't give her name if she doesn't want Ruby to call her it, or try a fake name.]

Right, well I guess since you're a queen you'll want to be in the nicest building, right? I'll show you that one first!

[And she's already starting to lead the way into the city, but she stops short for a second. She completely forgot to introduce herself. She'll turn to Mab and smile sweetly.]

Oh right! My names Ruby Rose, but you can just call me Ruby.

[And she's back to leading the way.]

[Most people who meet Royalty generally refer to them in such a manner. When Mab says Ruby's name she might even feel a thrill of power from it.]

That sounds agreeable. It is a pleasure to meet you, Ruby Rose.

[Especially since Mab is careful to get the pronunciation perfect.]

[Man it's just weird when Mab calls her by her full name after she said it was fine to just call her Ruby.]

[Aaaaaaaaaand she's over it! She'll lead Mab into town and toward Tupelo Alley, the nicest apartment building in town.]

It's nice to meet you too!

Trust me, you'll love it, this place has a great view and a pool!

[Satisfied that the girl is sufficiently weirded out by her name being stated in that tone she turns and begins to walk. Which is... less than normal. Mab has a habit of appearing places. Rarely does she just walk.]

A pool? [She has been swimming before but it is rare. And so far in the past she can barely remember it. She has never had any desire to swim for leisure.]

We will see.

[Well Mab, you have weirded out a fifteen year old girl, I hope you're happy.]

Yeah, it's one of the reasons I thought it would be cool to live there, but I'm not sure if I'd actually use it anymore.

[There was this whole thing where she got kidnapped and nearly drowned, it has her rethinking the whole swimming thing.]

Yep, I guess we will.

[There is a difference between joy and satisfaction. Mab is satisfied.]

And what has changed your interests?

[Ruby thought it might be best to avoid talking directly about her "wonderful" time being kidnapped at the moment.]

W-well I had this really long cold bath near the end of last year and well... Let's just say it gave me my fill of large bodies of water for a good long while.

You had a cold bath. [I'm so sorry Ruby, she kind of thinks you're touched in the head now.]
