for the first time in for--

[bearanbow]

Och! NOOOOO!

Why did ye bring me back only tae torture me with music from some other place? Missin' me isn't a reason.

[Yes it is. Merida gives an over the top sigh and reaches for an apple, biting into it and talking with her mouth full]

If ye wanted princesses, you should've tried for someone else.

[ewbroccoli]

Ugh, yeah, Muns do love to do things like that to us, don't they?

[Have someone else who's unamused.]

[bearanbow]

Em...

[She stares tihs one down because. Is this a bad apple or is she seeing things? She's seen wisps. So this--]

Are ye one of the little people?

[ewbroccoli]

[Merida's getting a look.]

'Little people'? I'm an emotion.

[bearanbow]

An...emotion.

[Right. That makes no sense whatsoever. Merida tosses the apple aside in favor of exploring this emotion]

And what's emotions do?

I apologize in advance for Ms. Sass over here

[ewbroccoli]

You've gotta be kidding me. You don't know what emotions do? You know, making you feel happy, or sad, or angry? I'm one of the ones responsible for helping someone feel.

pfft

[bearanbow]

Aye and which are you? Irritation?

[ewbroccoli]

Funny. No, I'm Disgust. In charge of making sure someone like you doesn't get yourself poisoned, or go out looking horrible.

[...Speaking of, that hair. The only reason she's withholding judgment is because she knows how this place works.]

meanwhile I think these two will get along better (and I play her better x.x)

[isadrag]

But your mun missed you, right? That's a good thing... right?

[bearanbow]

[Obviously, Merida's Disgust took a permanent holiday as she reaches and just...prods at Disgust]

Wouldn't that be common sense? Like not eating nightshade berries?

[bearanbow]

Och, there's one, now there's another. And you're em...another...emotion?

[ewbroccoli]

[Hey, no touching!]

You'd think. But without me, you wouldn't be able to feel the need to not do it. Knowing you're gonna hate something because it looks iffy. Maybe it's just us that factor into your 'common sense.'

[isadrag]

[She nods slowly.] I'm Sadness... it's nice to meet you...

[All said in that low depressing tone. But she's smiling a little!]

Disgust is pretty on point ngl

[bearanbow]

Ah, if I ran off because somethin' looked iffy, I'd not have scaled the Cliffs.

[Pshaw! Nothing that she can't conquer]

[bearanbow]

[All right, this one's slightly off but gets Merida's attention. She crouches to be eye level to this blue...thing. She wants to reach out and poke at the emotion]

I'm Merida. Em...are you in relation tae the Wisps?

[isadrag]

[She tilts her head a little.] I've never heard of 'wisps'... we just live in someone's head and help them feel and make decisions.

ffff you think so? it's definitely hard to keep the sass and snark going sometimes

[ewbroccoli]

That's different. You're thinking of Fear.

yes! :)

[bearanbow]

An' fear doesn't keep you from doin' things? Like gettin' poisoned?

[Because mum's pretty good at that]

[bearanbow]

They're these wee blue things. Like yourself. Em, but less...solid. You know, you're the second one I've met. Wonder what they look like in my own head.

[Imagine? Sadness with a mop of curly red hair? Joy possibly holding fear hostage in a corner somewhere?]

fff /internal keysmashing

[ewbroccoli]

Okay, look, I'll help you out and give you a little crash course.

There's me, and then there's Joy, Anger, Fear and Sadness. Joy's obvious, literally happiness. Sadness and Anger too. Fear... well, okay, Fear could keep you from getting poisoned, but it'd be out of fear of getting poisoned after I've noticed something. Without me? Fear wouldn't notice with food. He tends to deal with natural fears. You know, heights. Spiders. That kind of stuff.

I can certainly see it... XD

[isadrag]

I've always wondered what we'd look like in other peoples' heads, too... I've heard everyone's got us in their heads, but I've never met anyone else's emotions...

[bearanbow]

Fear must be on a holiday, then.

[Big words for someone who nearly got mauled by a bear]

So does my disgust look like you?

[bornofbloodandbattle]

Is there something wrong with choosing you?

[bearanbow]

Maybe like wisps, then.

[She laughs and picks up another apple and holds it out to the blueberry. Maybe she's got a soft spot for blue things.]

[bearanbow]

Nae. Just that she comes, then she goes, she comes an' she goes like she pleases. Has yours done that to you?

[bornofbloodandbattle]

No, I have only just arrived her, seeking out what they have to offer.

[A pause.]

Though given the way the others have reacted, I assume it is a common occurrence.
