on being reserved/apped to ax

[wellrested]

Is this your idea of a joke? You mean to put me on some...ship where I'll be forced to sleep?

But what about Mulan? What about Phillip! We're supposed to be saving him, not admiring the stars! After all that they've both done for me, I can't abandon them now.

And stop talking about flight crews, I don't care about that!

[oh. Oh, yeah, she wouldn't like sleeping, would she?]

You know, the stars can be pretty powerful.

[wellrested]

[She's had more than her fair share.]

If they're so powerful then they can send me back where I belong.

[unvarnished]

I'd be careful with a wish like that. Magic always comes at a price. [not that she needs reminding, but still]

[wellrested]

I'm aware. And I would pay it gladly.

[unvarnished]

[no Aurora don't say that D:] If you say so.

yes come to us

[impitoyable]

Unfortunately, our so-called scribes lack in humor. It appears to be a common trait, at least.

[ there's a small shrug, and gaze cast side-ways, because annoyance. ] Nor do they care for the importance of our affairs.

/reaches~

[wellrested]

And I thought Maleficent was a witch. Obviously I'm in the hands of someone worse.

/catches!

[impitoyable]

[ witch, huh? ]

They are much worse, that you will soon learn if you haven't already. Not even magic can change that. [ and she should know, being a sorceress. ]

[ A beat. ] It is a foreign place, that ship. The worst is not being able to leave.

[wellrested]

I've heard stories. But surely that's all the are.

[versipelle]

[ Oh. She doesn't seem to recognize you but she's offering a bit of a smile - small, and still troubled, even if she tries to hide it. ]

You too, huh? Going to the ship, I mean.

SCREAM. ruby! :3

[wellrested]

[She calms a little, because from the woman's words, she's in the same predicament.]

It would seem that I am.

hello! ccc:

[versipelle]

[ Ruby is giving a bit of a huff now; it would be too much to call it relief, but hey, misery loves company, right? ]

And here I was hoping that if I'd be going anywhere, it'd be - closer to home, to the Forest. Not flying up somewhere into the sky in some strange space ship.

[wellrested]

That would at least be familiar to me. But I was finally going to be the one who does the rescuing, and there's still so much work to do.

How can I be forced to do this?

[versipelle]

I don't know. I don't know how they do it. All we can do is complain about it, and hope they'll listen.

[ A frown. ] Which is unlikely... I'm sorry.

[unhand]

Good luck trying to fight it.

[wellrested]

You'll forgive me if I doubt your sincerity.

[unhand]

Why shouldn't I be sincere? If a little thing like you manages it, there's hope for the rest of us.

[But he doesn't believe for a second she'll manage.]

[wellrested]

Just because I'm not a beast doesn't mean I can't manage it.

[She'd rather die than admit she's worried about that exact thing.]

[unhand]

That is exactly what it means, darling.
