blowing off some dust

[completely_ordinary]

I know, okay? I get it. Sometimes things happen and you lose faith in yourself, and everything kind of goes [gestures wildly and blows a raspberry]. So I get it. It happens to all of us, some more than others, but that doesn't mean you get to treat me like a doll. I don't live in some cupboard and come out to play only when it happens to be convenient for you. Not that- Not that I don't think your feelings are real, obviously they're real or we wouldn't be having this conversation, but this isn't fair, all right?

This isn't fair.

I want a home. I want a home with my sister, and Kristoff and just-

Is that really so much to ask?

I don't think that's so much to ask at all. Everyone should have a place they belong.

[completely_ordinary]

Exactly! I mean a sense of belonging is all anyone really ever wants.

[celestial_wizard]

Right! I suppose though, sometimes it takes a while to find that place where they belong, but if you keep searching you'll definitely find it. You should tell your mun that~!

[completely_ordinary]

I'm not so sure she's got the right kind of...patience for that. In a good way. Of course.

[celestial_wizard]

Ahaha, well you won't know until she gets out there and tries, right? You can't give up this early~!

[completely_ordinary]

Oh. We are not giving up. That is the last thing we're doing here.

I hope.

[celestial_wizard]

Good!

So what're you looking for?

[completely_ordinary]

Me? Some place with a lot less adventures.

But I'd be happy pretty much anywhere.

[celestial_wizard]

I think if you went to a game or meme you'd end up having more adventures, not less ones~

[completely_ordinary]

It is a dilemma.

[celestial_wizard]

What's wrong with adventures, anyway?

[completely_ordinary]

Oh not much. Just they usually turn out bad.

[loveisnotenough]

When it comes to the Mundanes, anything reasonable is too much.

[completely_ordinary]

They're not that bad. The writers can be much worse after all.

[loveisnotenough]

This is very true. They're marginally kind to you, though. You've got your sister, your lover - sorry, fiancé. The writers won't even utter my name, it seems.

[completely_ordinary]

For now. They do kind of have a bad track record with this.

[Anna isn't. Words and Anna aren't the best. So, she's just gonna go for the good old-fashioned hug.]

That's horrible. I'm so sorry.

[loveisnotenough]

[It's so much easier to play the role of stone-faced queen when you're on your own. When someone extends kind words, Anastasia is often wary. But Anna of Arendelle has gone straight for kindly affection and the Red Queen of Wonderland is...flustered? Perplexed. Her elitist accent drops for a slightly coarser one.]

What're you-- oh, hell.

[She's not rude, but Ana hasn't been affectionate with many people. Friends are....rare, so these interactions are new experiences for her. She somewhat awkwardly pats Anna's back in reciprocation.]

...Yes, well, no sense mucking about and pitying myself. But thanks for the thought darling. I can tolerate being a ghost as long as Will's alright.

[ladenga]

What do you mean you want a home?

-Look, she's not letting Anna out of her sight after she basically nearly lost her for good. Again-

[completely_ordinary]

All right, maybe I want to be home.

You know what I meant.

[elsa. Elsa you can't leave her again. And omg are you ok? You don't seem to hate her. Thirty years is a long time to stew in your hatred of a person. Not that Anna knows from experience, but she's got a pretty strong imagination]

[ladenga]

[Hugs? All the hugs. Because Anna is alive and mostly well and oh, she hopes this isn't a pattern where she nearly loses Anna over and over again.]

I want to go home to Arendelle too but...it's...not so bad in Storybrooke.

[completely_ordinary]

[ALL the hugs. Anna is never letting you go again.]

Elsa...Did you make friends?

[ladenga]

A little? Some. They, they might not be for now.

[A look. Because. Well. Curse.]

[completely_ordinary]

And they accept you! That's wonderful!

[okay. she's convinced. they can stay.]

[ladenga]

Not exactly. They do but because I was looking for you, I did something that may have have not been in their best interest.

[completely_ordinary]

It's going to work out. We just have to break the curse and everything will go back to normal.

[ladenga]

When did you become an expert in curse breaking?

[completely_ordinary]

Well after being frozen for 30 years, you start to get how these things work.

[ladenga]

What of Arendelle? Is everyone still frozen?

[More hugging because Ingrid could've done far worse than freeze her sister and her kingdom]

[completely_ordinary]

No? Nooooo. No. Everyone is fine. Well, as fine as they can be after being turned into human icicles...

[...]

There is the tiniest chance they might blame you, but all we have to do is get Grand Pabby to give them back their memories of our aunt and it should be fine.

[ladenga]

What?

[She lets go of Anna. The people of Arendelle wouldn't turn so easily would they?]

[completely_ordinary]

[They don't exactly rule over the smartest kingdom.]

No one knows we have an aunt let alone one that's crazy. But that's okay. We can fix that. It's fixable, Elsa. For all I know, everyone thinks we've been kidnapped. Or killed.

Oh! We could hold a celebration when we get back!

[ladenga]

[Anna, she loves you but this?]

You're thinking of the chocolate aren't you?

[completely_ordinary]

And dancing?

[Its not like she got that little chocolate party you had planned for her :(]

[ladenga]

And sandwiches. But first: Ingrid. Curse.

[completely_ordinary]

Right....how exactly are we meant to stop her?

[ladenga]

I...I don't know. There has to be a way but I don't know what it is.

[completely_ordinary]

Then we'll have to find someone who does.

[Like...evil wizards. This is definitely something evil wizards would know about. Got any of them lying around?]

[ladenga]

[Anna, your boundless enthusiasm is cute but plans are needed]

[mountainman]

My fiancee. You should win eloquent speaker of the year award.

[He smiles wryly.]

You're here, I'm here, we're all here now, so maybe we should just make the best of it?

[completely_ordinary]

Thank you.

[Sarcasm is his love language. Anna blames it on his being raised by trolls.]

The world really must be ending if you're still optimistic.

[mountainman]

[Blame Sven, too. That reindeer can be so sarcastic sometimes.]

Hey, I can be optimistic. I can be just as fearless and optimist as you.

What can I say? You must be wearing off on me.

[completely_ordinary]

[Sven isn't nearly as bad.]

Again, I thank you.

[she's bouncing on her toes and biting her lip and maybe even swaying. it's really the swaying that should worry you, Kristoff.]

So...we survived....

[mountainman]

[If only you knew.]

No, thank you.

[Still, Kristoff smiles, because this is Anna. He's pretty crazy about her.]

We keep managing to do that somehow. I'm starting to think we're kind of invincible.

[completely_ordinary]

[Someone is grinning like an excited fool and she stills on her toes and pokes his chest.]

You promised to marry me if we did.

[mountainman]

Oh yeah? Was that me? Huh.

[He teasing her, of course. Kristoff smiles, wrapping his arms around her loosely and pulling her closer.]

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get married. You know, when all of this is finally behind us.

[completely_ordinary]

Unless someone else was with me in that trunk...

[Which. Wow. She really hopes not. That would be really hard to explain now.]

We've faced...well maybe not worse, but things that are sort of similar before. We'll get through this.

[testthelimits]

This place -- it isn't our home, but once you look pass... the strangeness, it isn't so bad. We're together now.

[Finally. Elsa had refused to give up, and it had turned into the best possible outcome. She smiled at Anna, grateful for just being able to look at her sister.]

We'll make it work, okay?

[completely_ordinary]

Of course we are.

[And for that, you get another hug. It's only like...maybe the 20th or 200th since they reunited. Is anyone really counting?]

But...if we're going to stay, we probably should figure out how to stop people from getting all stabby murdery with swords. Or...whatevers.
