01 Water Drop ♒ Day 7 ♒ Introduction

[flightless_faerie]

[Having had a little time to get over the shock of her arrival, Rani decided to use this orb-thing the old man had mentioned to her. She plucked it gently off her necklace and placed it before her]

Hello? Can anybody hear me?

[She waiting for a response but it wasn’t too long before she continued..]

I’m sure this must be a various nice land but… I really must be going.

Does anyone know how I can get- [Her words started to become more halting as she proceeded, before she just outright reduced herself to tears]

[She tried to continue but all that came out was a nonsensical and blubbering mess. Without her leaf kerchiefs handy she had to use the ends of her robe to wipe her eyes. Then she just sat in front of the orb and sobbed.]]

_{[James watches the woman cry for a little while before butting in.]}

Hey. Hey, lady. Hey. We're stuck here too, nobody knows how the hell we're supposed to get home.

_{[Sympathetic. ALWAYS.]}

[flightless_faerie]

[Rani didn't realize he'd been watching for so long when she first heard him. She sniffled and hiced once trying to get to the point where she could respond.]

Another clumsy?

[She wasn't really sure what to make of the funny looking man. He looked to old to be able to see fairies still.]

There- must be a way to leave. The others will worry if I'm gone too long.

[goldeneyeball]

A what...?

_{[He decides to ignore that and give the poor fairy the bad news.]}

Pretty sure we're stuck here. I've been here almost a week.

[flightless_faerie]

[Clumsy was a word fairies used to reference humans whose large sizes seemed cumbersome and difficult to control to them. Hence the word Clumsy]

Oh .. no..

[Here came more of the waterworks as she started to sob a bit more]

[goldeneyeball]

<sub>[Clumsy described every inch of James Walter in that respect.]

[He opens his mouth to continue general bitching about the magical land he'd been dropped into but then the water fairy started with the water works.

D:

D:

Well shit he didn't mean to make her cry.]</sub>

Hey...it's...you still have all your arms and legs, right? That's a plus!

[flightless_faerie]

[She almost couldn't believe her ears. Was this clumsy trying to make her feel better? Unfortunately, it made her cry even harder only this time it was mixed with tears of joy. If there was at least one kind person here maybe it wouldn't be so bad. At least for a little while]

Y-yes, I do.

It's very considerate of you to remind me. [Fairies didn't say "thank you" but this was her version of it]

[goldeneyeball]

<sub>[DB WHAT WAS SHE CRYING ABOUT NOW?]

[HOW COULD HE GET HER TO STOP?]

[JW actually looks around him and hunches his shoulders, hoping nobody hears the sobs coming from his orb and thinks he's up to no good.]</sub>

I mean...it's a pretty awful situation we're in, but it could be worse.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

[Oh! Oh, no! There is crying!]

[Faolan whimpers in sympathy]

[flightless_faerie]

[The whimpering forces her attention back to the orb. Dabbing at her eyes once more she starts to speak.]

Why are you so upset? It can't be.. because of me, can it?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Don't be sad! Here is good place!

[flightless_faerie]

It is really a good place?

[What sort of "good place" kidnapped others with no warning?]

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Yes! There are nice places, and good smells, and bunnies to chase! [Those make FAOLAN very happy, so why shouldn't they cheer other people up too?]

[flightless_faerie]

Those all sound like nice things indeed. The animal-talents would love to speak to the rabbits.

-- if they were here. [Her shoulders slumped]

[magicalflowers]

It's okay, sweetie. We all appear to have arrived here with no knownledge of this place.

[flightless_faerie]

[Looking to the orb once more, Rani sniffled and got the strangest sensation when looking at this girl. Was... she a clumsy also? She looked tall enough for one, but something felt different. Oh just give her a few more wing-beats to place her finger on it]

I wonder why, we've been brought here.

[magicalflowers]

I can't answer that myself right now, but I can only get little bits and piece from the people who have spoken to me since my arrival.

[flightless_faerie]

[Nothing was making much sense, and no one truly seemed to know what was going on here. Why hadn't Neverland prevented her kidnapping?]

So you're looking for a way to get home too?

[magicalflowers]

[Flora nodded slightly, she was still trying to make sense of everything here.]

I am, though I'm not in any hurry to get back. I know the girls would be able to deal with anything.

[flightless_faerie]

The girls? [Oh of course, silly Rani. Everyone had left friends back at home, hadn't they? Queen Ree and everyone at the home tree were so resilient. They could manage in her absence.. couldn't they? But still... what if they had been brought here too]

You don't think they could have been brought here too?

[tatra]

Oh dear... Darling, it's all right, you're perfectly safe here.

Would you like a cup of tea? That always helps me when I'm upset...

[flightless_faerie]

[Rani sat up as straight as she could, and tried to get her tears under control enough so she could speak.]

.. but the others? What happened to them?

[Were her friends all caught up in this too? She couldn't help but think about the possibilities. What if Silvermist was also teleported here only she arrived right in front of a hawk?! Or what if Tinkerbell arrived without her tinkers hammer? One of the worst scenarios for a fairy was the prospect of not being able to practice her talent]

[She perked up a little at the offer. Sniffle.] I could help the water to boil faster!

[Exercising her skills always seemed to perk her up.]

[tatra]

I'm afraid I don't know, but I'm sure they're alright, wherever they are. [ They have to be. If something happened to Tarta when Tatra wasn't there to protect her... Well, there'd be hell to pay. ]

That would be wonderful! Something sweet, that clears the mind, I should think.

[flightless_faerie]

[The phrase "I don't know" forced another wave of tears to seep out of her eyes.] They have to be.. [She voiced what the other was thinking, unknowingly]

[The distraction sounded delightful] That sounds lovely. [She looked around] Where would you like to meet? I'm not entirely sure.. where I am.

[tatra]

There's a tea room in the north wing. If you like, I can ask one of the serving people to help you find it.

[flightless_faerie]

I would appreciate that, yes. [How big were these serving people? Were they her size or clumsy size?]

Can you tell them to watch where they step? That is if they are clumsies.

[She did try to make her way there as far as she could.. but the stairs tasked her and would take forever to climb on her own]
