[Mingler] Love Potion Mansion Time

[geekicorn]

Twilight Sparkle has been busy collecting the ingredients for the love potion she and Sophie had discussed, and it has not been the easiest of experiences: she had to substitute a tuft of fog for a tuft of cloud, but she had found a glass prism to create a rainbow to distill the colors from. But anything to help her best human friend is a delight

Ryuk's on his way to find, wait for it, some apples. When he spies the pitcher of purple fizzy stuff, which he'll study and sniff at for a few moments, trying to figure out the ingredients.

"Heh-heh, this smells good, but what the heck is it? Purple soda?" he asks, hanging from the light fixture over the table as he studies the pitcher.

Someone come along and dare this guy to drink it!

[asshatoforkney]

And look who conveniently happens to be walking into the kitchen at that exact moment.

"Try some and find out," Agravain suggests.

I couldn't resist XD

[x_postal_ines]

Ines wanders in, and looks at the potion with what could almost look like a sneer. It looks sickeningly sweet. Still, she's curious, and she might blink at it a moment.

"This has to be a prank," she murmurs to herself.

But dared, she'll give in. She's unphazed by most risks she takes.

As discussed :-)

"Dunno what it is: smells good, looks good," he says, tilting his head first one way then the other at it. Then he looks up at it. "Wanna give it a try?" he asks. "I'll have a sip if you do."

[sophie_darling]

Sophie isn't going to drink any of it, unless, maybe, her puppy crush comes along, and even then. She thinks that's all for adults.

She's hidden behind an armchair, keeping watch. She's really hoping her parents have some before there isn't any left! (If things get hot, she might even try to stop you from drinking it.)

So, here she is - poke here if you want her to stop your pup from drinking, or to catch her playing Schemy Suzy. :-)

"Shhhhh, they'll see us!" Sophie intimates urgently. She'll scoot so that Sophia can hide even more effectively. "I'm waiting to see if they'll take it!"

Whatever this is, it's clearly very important to her.

So there was a calling from down the hall, their girl saying " Mommy, Daddy, come, come, look, there's something in the kitchen!" and of course Sugar went, sighing a little because what did this one come up with this time?

Having ordered the kid to stay away (in case whatever that was posed a danger), she actually waited for Cal to go investigate.

Sometimes, she feels like she can't parent this girl alone - those times, she's incredibly grateful for his presence.

Specifically waiting for Cal. :-)

[notgrendel]

Cal rouses himself from a nap to join Sugar, making his way to the kitchen with a yawn. Sophie keeps him on his toes, but he likes it. He likes the little girl's spirit and vitality, and he's grateful she lives in a place that is somewhat safe. He wants to make sure it remains that way.

When he enters the kitchen, it takes him a moment to spot what's strange. He mistakes the purple goo for some kind of dessert or cocktail. But after a moment, he realizes that it's fizzing.

[crimson_sugar]

Sugar on the other hand is all alert, and looking around for her daughter. Class helped to keep her out of trouble, but with the winter break upon them, she suspects some shenanigans.

"... now where is that girl?" she asks as she's looking around. And finding sight of the potion... "and what is that?"

[notgrendel]

Cal is looking around for Soph as well. "We're here. Is this about the purple concoction?" he says loud enough the child can hear if she's anywhere nearby. He looks to Sugar and gives her a shrug.

[ninja_niko]

Niko, to be quite frank, being a fan of blends and healthy drinks, some of which might come in uncanny colours, isn't all that taken aback by the lavender color (what if there was red cabbage in it, or beet?) He's curious, and poking around the pitcher, trying to decide if he should break his "don't eat stuff lying around" rule, or not.

He miiiiiight even dip a spoon.

You know, in case it's acid-based or something.

Open to temporary shenanigans. :-P

[winterfell_lady]

[ninja_niko]

Niko was about to taste it, so having nodded politely, he finishes the motion, then takes a spoonful of the mixture.

"Heh," he says, mostly to himself. "No cabbage."

He turns around to go fetch water from the sink and instead finds himself staring at the lady who wandered in seconds ago, and thinking, quite uncharacteristically, Oh, wow, a MILF.

[winterfell_lady]

[arid_white_lady]

Aredhel is in the common room, tending to her bow and fletching a few new arrows when her daughters come bounding with excitement. "Amil, Amil! Drink this!"

They might have dipped their lips and just felt more happy to be sisters without anything further developing, and are just wanting to cheer their mother up.

This, well, will probably end in .... ridicule.

Looking for Merlyn! :-)

[redundncyarcher]

It might be about the same time that the Atan archer frequently seen in dark-colored garments will enter, brushing the snow off his boots and off his winter jacket, taking down the practice sword strapped to his back.

He'll eye the pitcher, puzzled, curious even. It looks like Zinfandel wine, only darker in color, like someone added blue dye to it. "Local beverage, or is it a health drink?" he asks.

[arid_white_lady]

"I am unsure," Aredhel replies, and to the girls, "Darlings, what did it taste like?"

"Sweet!" one of the replies excitedly, "and happy," the other adds, though it makes no sense.

"I should have Artanis examine this," their mother grumbles, hand still on the cup. "What do you say, archer?"

In this context, and given that almost six months have past, perhaps Aredhel seems to be a whole other person - not a puckish and ethereal elf sprite, but rather a wife, and mother, earthly as can be.

[redundncyarcher]

"Something like this, you can't be too careful," he says, thinking of the Vertigo users in Starling City. "It sounds harmless, but ..where I come from, there are some things that are more dangerous than they taste, even if they seem harmless at first." He's concerned for her safety and the safety of her girls: Aredhel can't take the place that Rebecca held, but she does remind him a lot of Moira, with her stateliness and her strength..
