Do you think it's okay to trust them? For me to stay at the carnival? (Elsa looks at her mun with a little bit of a nervous expression.) I think my welcome might be wearing out, there's only so much cold most people can take...even if it doesn't bother me.

And the memes...those aren't funny or cute. I'd prefer that you keep me out of them. I'll just hurt someone.

(It's not that she dislikes Mari, Peter, Nathan, or anyone else she has met. She is thankful that they don't find her to be "dangerous" or "bad" or a "witch".)

Oh, and happy birthday. It's funny that our birthdays are both during summer. Oh? I had forgotten summer was later on in the month...

ignore this if his mindreading's not ok

[witchlord]

I gather there's something wrong with being "dangerous", "bad", or a "witch"?

It's A-OK with me.

[dontletthemsee]

(Elsa freezes and looks at him with a slightly unhappy expression.) Yes, I am none of those things.

\o/

[witchlord]

I'm all of those things, and I feel safe in saying you are missing out.

^_^

[dontletthemsee]

I'm really sure that I'm not.

[witchlord]

You live in constant fear of breaking something without ever having the satisfaction of actually breaking it; you long for company but avoid others for "their own good"; and you not only fear showing your true self, you're actively unhappy about it.

I've learned how to not break things I don't want to and let myself enjoy smashing things during the learning process; I'm not much for people, but that's personal preference and not fear; I have no hesitation to admit who and what I am, and am proud of my abilities and accomplishments.

Still as sure? Or did I summarize your situation inaccurately?

[dontletthemsee]

(That..that was exactly it, but she doesn't think actually breaking anything would be that satisfying, it never came to her mind that it could, though. The young woman looks guarded now and she gives the stranger another darker look.)

How do you not fear who you are? (This was genuine curiosity that comes pouring out.)

[witchlord]

[He cocks an eyebrow.] It's pretty easy. Most people don't fear themselves. Do you think that's because most people consider themselves weak and powerless? The real question is why you do fear yourself.

What exactly is so wonderful about entertaining constant terror that you might exist at someone too strongly? Why do you care? You've honestly never questioned any of that?

So somehow I've never tossed Mia at any Elsa before. That should change.

[gorgonfondness]

Would you like some company that can stand the cold?

Throw Mia at her! Elsa could use the company.

[dontletthemsee]

(Elsa looks a little surprised at the offer.) No, it's fine. I couldn't make someone do that. (Though, she would be lying a bit. Company would be a nice change, but she is definitely going to worry about it getting colder.)

[gorgonfondness]

Make? I'm not one who does things against my will.

[dontletthemsee]

(Elsa nods.) If you get too cold, you can leave and it won't upset me. I wouldn't want you to get hurt or become sick.

[gorgonfondness]

I'll be fine. I've suffered worse than a little chill.

And besides that, I'm a little out of practice.

[dontletthemsee]

A little out of practice? (She looks at her with a curious expression.)

[gorgonfondness]

With my ice. I think the last thing I really did was that snow in summer ice skating party last year.

[dontletthemsee]

(That...that sounded like fun. Elsa is paying attention.) An ice skating party in summer?

[gorgonfondness]

Yes. A young woman named Korra and I froze the lake and brought in some snow. I think there was a game on the ice, too, but I mostly spent my time skating with friends and keeping things cold.

[unfrozn]

You wouldn't hurt anyone, Elsa.

[ this is said in full trust of her sister. ]

[dontletthemsee]

But, you can't know that. All it would take is one accident or moment of not being careful.

(Elsa knows Anna does trust her, but she is convinced that she will only disappoint her.)

[unfrozn]

[ Pfft. Disappointment?

Never. Nope. No way.]


You're the most careful person I know, Elsa. Sometimes ... a little too careful.

[dontletthemsee]

(A little too careful? She disagrees with that a bit. She sighs.)

Anna, I wish I was. But, I'm just not. I need to be more careful, more aware. Nothing bad would happen if I was in better control of myself.

[unfrozn]

[ Anna shakes her head. ]

You're not a machine, Elsa. You're a person. You're allowed to make a mistake and lose control sometimes.

I just -

I just want my sister back.

[dontletthemsee]

(Elsa freezes in place when she hears that and then she looks down. She gently rubs her arms. The feeling is mutual. She would like her sister back too. But, this wasn't like spilling something on a dress...this was much worse and bigger than that. The idea that nothing could be fixed makes her more nervous, even frightened.)

Anna...

Pfff happened to be logged in as her. Nexus is still very much in control at this point.

[crimson_tsviet_puppet]

Interesting, that you share birthdays with your Mundane human. [Nexus through Rosso smiles to Elsa softly, her eyes emitting a faint glow.] Seems like I was sent to one of those "memes", also.

Stay at the carnival, Elsa. I know for a fact there are quite a few of those people who care for your safety, and wish to help you. Mari, Peter, and Nathan want to help you with your powers.

[Rosso trapped in the corner of her mind rustles, protesting, insulting Nexus...which is just background noise to Nexus who won't let her strike at Elsa. I do hope Mari goes with the Sam we know best, Nexus keeps to herself.]

Oh, that's good For Elsa.

[dontletthemsee]

Interesting? It's not that interesting. (Elsa gives Nexus a confused even a little bit nervous look when she sees the eyes giving off a faint glow. She takes a few cautious steps back.) ...You were too?

(What comes next she half expects, but she still looks a bit shocked by.) Stay? (She isn't sure how Nexus would know what she claims she knows.) But, how do you know that? You aren't any of them.

Very, very good. XD

[crimson_tsviet_puppet]

[Nexus nods Rosso's head a bit, still smiling softly. She would understand that the white glow is unsettling for most people to see, and she stands right where she is.] Yes. Although, I do not have any time to spare to adopt anyone. My mundane human should keep that in mind.

[The gentle smile starts to look a bit sad.] No, I am not, but I have been watching over all of you every so often. None of you have been aware of it, and my power works in ways that humans could never understand... It relieves me to know everyone is safer there, than where I am. Mari, in particular. I sent her there to be protected and looked after. I feel fortunate for both her and myself on Nathan and Mari finding each other, not much long after she arrived. She's a good soul, and is someone I care about very much.
