[jazzprincess]

This don't look like New Orleans.

... Yeah, I didn't think so.

So. Mun, right? Where on Earth did you bring me?

Comments

[more_afraid_of_you]

Ain't Earth. Not like you know.

[Looking at the older girl- there's a frog on her head. Zimmy smothers a giggle.]

[heartisabattleground]

You're on Dreamwidth. A lot of us are brought here. Nice to meet you!

[tiatiatiatiatia]

TIA TIA TIA TIA TIA TIA TIA TIA!

[Guess who's missed you? THIS GIRL. Don't mind the tackle hug out of nowhere.]

[jazzprincess]

[SUPPRESS THE SUDDEN EEK OH GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS CHILD?]

Wh- What's so funny?

[jazzprincess]

[...]

Uhh... Nice to meet you, too. My name's Tiana.

lol perfect username

[jazzprincess]

[TACKLED.]

Oh. AH... Lottie?

[Well, now that she knows you, have a hug back, girl! She has no idea where she is and it's nice to see a familiar face! Especially yours!]

Thank ye~

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Oh, Tia! I thought I'd nevah evah see you again! I'm so happy you're here!

...Well, actually, bein' here really isn't a good thing all th'time, but boy am I glad t'know you're still kickin' and from th'looks of it, healthy as a horse!

[jazzprincess]

[She chuckles.]

I'm feelin' jus' fine, Lottie. Confused, but fine.

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Oh! Well, what are you confused 'bout, Tia? I'm sure I can answah some of your questions!

[...Strangely enough, she probably can. She's been trekking the RP waters long enough to have seen a little bit of everything.]

[jazzprincess]

Well... for starters... Where are we?

[Some kid said... Dreamwidth? Her mun doesn't tell her anything.]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

...That's... a very good question. I don't know if it has a name, but everyone from everythin' shows up here, even people who aren't s'posed t'be real or s'posed to be alive. You got talkin' cars, people in masks, scrawny l'il rat-dogs, supah heros, and even sometimes princesses and princes!

'Course... you also got all th'bad folk too... includin' Shadowman.

[jazzprincess]

Talkin' cars? What on Earth?

The Shadowman? He's around here, too?

... Lottie, you sure you feelin' alright?

[tiatiatiatiatia]

'Course I am. Happy as a squirrel in a walnut grove t'see you!

[...OH.]

I know that probably sounds like a bunch of malarkey, but it's true! You'll meet th'strangest people 'round these parts.

[jazzprincess]

Well, I won' deny that one... [Just from what she's seen already...]

How long ya been here, Lottie?

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Let's see... probably 'bout... three years now? Jus' undah? That 'sounds 'bout right.

[jazzprincess]

Three years! That's an awful long time.

Or... is that a long time here?

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Yes, and yes! It sure is... I think. Well, most of th'othah folks I meet aren't always 'round that long; it's actually kind of sad when you don't seem them any more.

Like Mistah V, or Mike, or even that annoyin' Ren...

[jazzprincess]

[Oh, well.] Sounds like ya made a lot o' friends here. Not that I'm surprised.

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Oh yes! Bunches! There's Mistah Clopin, and Dug, and Kronk, and Sinbad, and Auntie Ursula, and Chel, and Liz'beth Swann, and oh gosh, so many wondahful people!

You jus' got t'keep your eye out for th'good ones. They're what makes this place worth endurin'.

[jazzprincess]

[She laughs.]

I'll keep that in mind! Don't know how long my mun plans to keep me 'round here, though.

[tiatiatiatiatia]

As long as your mun doesn't do anythin' bad t'you, I wouldn't mind if you stuck 'round for a while.

[Winning smile~?]

[jazzprincess]

[Mun does not have a great record at being nice to muses.]

I wouldn' mind either. So long as... yeah... Nothin' bad happens.

[tiatiatiatiatia]

[Do any of us have good records?]

Well. 'Least you won't be turnin' int'a frog again!

[AHAHAHA... hahaha... ha. Ha.]

R-right?

[jazzprincess]

...

I better not!

[That was a possibility, yes.]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

You also bettah not be goin' anywhere Shadowman is, then.

I know what it's like dealin' with him day aftah day aftah day; let me tell you, it is not th'bees knees. And if anyone can turn you int'a frog again, it's him.

[NUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Poor Tia.]

[jazzprincess]

You see him that often, Lottie?

[That man is NO GOOD.]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Good news is, not lately. I used t'a, last year. Saw him a lot, nearly got myself int'a anothah deal with him because there was no way out.

[Whew. That was far too close.] It's been smooth sailin' since then, though. A l'il lonely, but nothin' bad. [And by a bit, she means a lot. Little Miss Social doesn't do so well without a large friend group at her disposal.]

[jazzprincess]

[Awww.]

Well, I'm glad ya doin' better, then, Lottie.

... Lot o' people leave, huh?

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Me too.

[...She sobers up a bit. You'd think she'd get used to it after all this time, but...] Yes, yes they do. Almost all of them. Even you.

W-well, not you you, th'othah yous. Oh, I know that's confusin', but there's more than one of everybody it seems.

[more_afraid_of_you]

Nuthin'. [Grin says otherwise. Hearing the usual scared response coming out of a frog's mouth is hilarious.]

[jazzprincess]

More than-...

This is one strange place... [She's... not all that sure about it.]

[jazzprincess]

[... Well, that's not creepy at all....]

Uh... Where are your parents at?

[more_afraid_of_you]

[Way to bum her out.]

Dunno. Don' have parents.
