[ There is a girl in the village plaza who looks rather out of sorts as she sits on the ground, legs out to her sides, in a random sort of spot. She is kind of blank-faced as she stares at the other passers-by, with only a hint of confusion in her brow to betray how she's feeling ( Read more... )

good things never last, hugs required, :(, ;;, she has a lot of feelings, what's up luceti, !event, !action, cheer up emo kid, in need of assistance, growing up is hard, everything sucks forever, fml, why are her tags so depressing?, that's terrible.

[Giles just...stops to watch for several long seconds when he realizes that the girl in question is Xion.

It's with some hesitation that he approaches, because you never know with this experiment.]

Do you, um, do you need some help, Xion?

[action] poppetry September 27 2011, 22:49:49 UTC

Giles? [ Peering up at him. ] Actually ... yeah. Can you pick up these eggs for me? [ ... ] Carefully?

Re: [action] consultmybooks September 27 2011, 22:53:45 UTC

Of course.

[How else would you pick up eggs? He doesn't question the arm wings. He's seen worse so far.

Giles will carefully bend down, carefully pick up the eggs, and carefully straighten up again.]

[ She notes the carefulness, and sighs in relief. She doesn't smile, though, as she pushes to her feet and looks up at him again. ] Thanks. I need to get them home... or at least, someplace safe.

[Thankfully, Luke has not been affected yet. Well, he did get sand thrown at his face by Paprika, but other than that, he's just fine. He has noticed weird things going on, some things that just seem... familiar, thanks to the stories he's read. Experiment, probably...

... Though he stops dead in his tracks when he sees Xion sitting there with eggs and wing arms.]

... Xion? Are you okay?

poppetry September 27 2011, 22:50:29 UTC

[ .... ]

Um ... yeah, I'm fine. Why?

cakeblocked September 27 2011, 23:41:57 UTC

What... uh, happened to your arms? [He walks closer, towards the side opposite of where the eggs are.] And what's with the eggs?

poppetry September 30 2011, 20:36:32 UTC

I dunno! I just -- [ she shakes her head. ] Something is strange... I keep thinking that they're supposed to be this way... but I'm not a duckling.

[ Xion's not the only one with new wings today!

...Sort of. Fenimore might have gotten the outfit and all of the compulsions of Sleeping Beauty Grune's good fairy, but she had thus far failed to get any of the benefits, such as the bug wings capable of flight or any magic to do the job for her. So, to fly about as her instincts are telling her she should, she has had to resort to being carried through the sky by her peepit. While the bird is, by now, nearly as big as she is, it isn't exactly practiced in carrying people and not entirely suited to carrying even someone as small as Fenimore, so it's more like she's leaping from rooftop to rooftop while the bird flaps madly to keep her in the air briefly ( ... )

[ Xion JUMPS, with a startled cry, getting out of the way of the off-kilter Fenimore -- even though she wasn't in danger of being hit. Her hood falls back when she scatters, but thankfully her eggs remain intact, as she went in the opposite direction.

... for a moment, she lies there on the ground and stares, bewildered. ]

[Enter Jack, exiting the bakery with a plum pie. As he's busy poking around inside it for an actual plum, he notices Xion over being a duck.]

Why are you a duck?

poppetry September 30 2011, 20:35:34 UTC

... I'm the ugly duckling.

[ Said weakly, and with some mild confusion. ]

markofthewise September 30 2011, 20:45:55 UTC

... well. That explains it, doesn't it. [Except not really. Is that supposed to be a story?]

poppetry September 30 2011, 20:55:12 UTC

[ There's a long pause on her end. She is, apparently, concentrating. After a rough shake of her head, she finally shrugs, with those bizarre arms, frowning a little. ]

... I think it's supposed to be a story... I remember reading about it in a book Luke gave me. It was about-- [ ... nngh. It's hard keeping straight in her head what the story is and what's real. ]

[First response? Help the poor dear!

So yes, Ven in a princess dress, scurrying for the eggs.

...annnd then he spots Xion, with her wing arms, just sitting there. Oh dear.]

... Hey, what's wrong?

poppetry September 30 2011, 20:34:45 UTC

[ Ven will find her in full Ugly Duckling mode. So she does not look up at him. ]

I am the ugly duckling. Nobody loves me.

risingwinds October 1 2011, 04:30:11 UTC

Nobody loves you?

[Oh, Xion. That's not good at all.]

But you've got a bunch of friends. People who do care about you.

poppetry October 1 2011, 22:37:41 UTC

No. It's not true. They all tease me. No one wants me around. I should just leave... [ She folds her bird-arms over her body and shakes her head, slowly. ]
