On a certain dark faerie possibly coming to rubycity_rp

[cursedtosleep]

I-I'm very glad to see Aunt Merryweather... but for Maleficent.... [She swallows.]

You... you can't be serious about her coming? This is some nasty joke, writer... Maleficent is not someone to trifle with!

[deja-vu all over the place here.]

With a name like that, I bet she's counting on everyone else to feel the same way. Sounds like the humble, zen type.

BIGBY!

[cursedtosleep]

She will make herself known if they don't already fear her...

roooooose

[glasshim]

She's gonna have a hel— heck of a problem if someone shows up who doesn't.

[being around kids like TJ is starting to rub off on him in weird ways.]

So, what's her deal? Sorceress? Fairy?

[cursedtosleep]

Dark faerie who is the mistress of all evil... and the title is to be taken seriously.

[glasshim]

Yeah, I'm not debating that. Fairies can pull off some pretty nasty crap even on a good day. It's a completely different story when you get them ticked off.

[cursedtosleep]

Then I recommend inviting her to all your celebrations to avoid upsetting her.

[glasshim]

I think coming to any party I'm at would upset her. That's the general consensus, from what I'm told.

[cursedtosleep]

I am not sure I understood, what is so upsetting about you?

[glasshim]

[wow, where to begin.]

Jeeze, it's like you're asking me to be modest. But, uh. Let's just say I'm not the most popular guy and leave it at that. Things tend to get broken when I'm around big crowds.

[like furniture. and walls. and, well, bones.]

[cursedtosleep]

I see... still, I would not wish any harm to come to you, not with Maleficent. Still, I think you are quite a pleasant person.

[glasshim]

Hey, I'm the last person you should worry about. Sounds like you're in the more dire situation here.

How'd you get mixed up with her anyway? Dark fairies don't have anything to offer to nice kids like you.

[cursedtosleep]

She cursed me as a baby.

[glasshim]

Oh. Sorry.

[awkward. feels like he should offer up more, though really, what else can he say? "sorry your parents pissed off an evil fairy"?]

I know someone who was in the same boat as you. Happened the day she was born, all because her parents didn't invite this fairy to the feast.

[cursedtosleep]

Was she cursed to prick her finger on a spinning wheel as well?

[glasshim]

That's... a weirdly specific guess.

[and now he's starting to piece things together. Fabletown's best detective is on the job and god, is he going to kick himself for not realizing things sooner.]

What did you say your name was again?

[cursedtosleep]

Well, that's what Maleficent did to me, I could only assume it would be the same.

And I am Princess Aurora, though my aunts called me Briar Rose growing up.

[stalksthedarkness]

I'm sure they're not as bad as you think

[cursedtosleep]

Maleficent is the mistress of all evil, good sir, I do not think that is something to take lightly.

[stalksthedarkness]

She should meet my editor then! I swear, sometimes he's the true master of all evil.

[cursedtosleep]

Your editor, good sir? Are you a writer like mine is? What are you doing here?

[in_the_book]

She's a faerie, right? I recommend iron, and lots of it.

[cursedtosleep]

Iron? What would iron do?

[in_the_book]

Most faeries can't stand the stuff. Messes with their magic, burns them, hurts like hell.

At least, that's how it works where I'm from.

[cursedtosleep]

I... actually I don't know if she can handle it. Now that I think about it, there was never any iron in our home. But I don't know anything of Maleficent's home.

[in_the_book]

Hard to say for sure, of course, but sounds more than likely.

[cursedtosleep]

I don't know... even so, she has great powers, more powerful than all three of my aunts combined... if something as simple as iron could stop her, something tells me it would have been tried already.

[in_the_book]

[He frowns slightly. He's always been a sucker for a women in danger. And he's not sure if any of his tricks will work for her.]

You're probably right, unfortunately. Got a few other things in my bag of tricks for dealing with folks like her... none of which I could be sure would work for your universe.

[cursedtosleep]

Well, you're still very kind for offering to help. Thank you. Perhaps she will find no interest in me and mine.a

[in_the_book]

We can only hope so, Miss...

[judgeofblasphemy]

Indeed, witches are not to be trifled with my dear.

OMG Frollo!

[cursedtosleep]

A witch? Maleficent is no witch, good sir, but she is the mistress of all evil and not one to take lightly.

Who better? :3

[judgeofblasphemy]

I'm afraid that title is taken by another, dear. While witch may appear invincible at first, I assure you that they are indeed, not.

[cursedtosleep]

There is another who claims such a thing? [Did Maleficent know her? Was it true? Had he met Maleficent? If he had, she had a feeling he would not lightly give her title to another.]

[judgeofblasphemy]

The Devil, fool girl! [Unfortunately he hasn't met her...yet, but if he did? Then there would be a witch hunt, if his name wasn't Jean Claude Frollo.]

[cursedtosleep]

There is no need to yell, good sir. It certainly does not make the matter clearer. I know not your devil. [She was raised in the woods by faeries she's as "pagan" and "heathen" as you might get.]

I know Maleficent and what she has done, even still, no one can truly know Maleficent to her limits.

[judgeofblasphemy]

[Repent! And you might be saved from a rant from Frollo.]

They are still mortal, girl. Satan, however is neither man, nor beast. [His ultimate evil is far superior to yours, 'Kay thanks!]

[cursedtosleep]

[She's one of Walt's original Disney princesses, Frollo, she's pure light.]

And have you met this Satan, sir?

[judgeofblasphemy]

Of course not, any man true to The Lord shall not. Though the Devil's temptations are many, and all around us.

[cursedtosleep]

All around? They can be anywhere?

[judgeofblasphemy]

They are sin incarnate.
