Fables Plot Public Post!
Who: Public
What: The Open Post for Public Threading for the Epic Fable Plot
Where: Throughout the building.
When: 12:01
Warnings: Any number of crazy things could end up in here.
Notes: Alright! This post is for public threads only, and will be run party style. Anyone can jump into a thread at any time--just use your judgment! Feel free to hop around, go to different parts of the building, and mingle through the madness.

12:01. The beginning of a new day, just broken in, still fresh. Most of the building was sleeping, as decent people ought to be at such an hour.

The building, down at its foundations, was restless. A storm had been gathering for the past week, in its joints and its doorways, in its windows and its keyholes. 12:01, the storm broke over Bellum.

It was as if the building stretched, yawned, shook itself. There was a shudder in reality, as if the air itself was nothing more than a funhouse mirror. Faster than you could snap your fingers and the thing was done, set into motion before the darkest hours of the morning had yet come around.

A twitch, a snap, a static shock.

And then the changes started.

((OOC: Alright guys, go crazy! Feel free to post your location in the header of your comment so people can do a quick visual scan for the right comment and the right location. Mingle! Chat! Fight! Tackle one another!))

And now this random stranger was blowing at her skirts! How rude. "No," she said flatly. She pulled her pepper shaker out of her pocket with her free hand, cradling the child a little closer to her, and caught the shaker in a firm grip, like it was a weapon. "Don't you dare tread any closer to me. The moral is--mind your own business." She looked over to the Hatter for support. The tea was going to get cold soon, and then where would they be?

The Hatter snapped his fingers and pointed to the sky with his forefinger in victory. "Eureka!" It was then that he realized just what those fingers were meant to do. "This has all been very lovely, Duchess. But you see --" He ejected the large watch from the front of his bodice on a whim and gasped as if all his breath were leaving him to go on holiday.

"It's nearly one! Time for tea! As for you, my dear lady! You have been very rude!" As he spoke, his anger rose. How dare this woman ruin his tea party! Had she no manners? The air seemed to grow thick with a daze that he could not feel. His sole target was the very rude woman.

But madness was never choosy.

The Snow Queen took half a step back, shaking her head in confusion, snowflakes falling from her hair where they'd been caught. She blinked right at the Hatter and for a moment it was Deirdre whose eyes went a little wider, "What...?" She gasped for a moment to catch her breath, suddenly shorter and harder to breathe. A headache formed instantly behind her eyes, and she lifted her hand to press at her forehead.

The room seemed to dip around her momentarily as she tried to keep her balance before her eyes flashed, glaring at the Hatter. "What did you do?" In the next second, a driving blizzard filled the room, whiting out the spaces between everyone. The wind whistled harshly, but even that wasn't enough to drown out the Queen's shouts. "How dare you! You will all suffer for this!" The temperature dropped as well, suddenly well below freezing in the bathroom, a skin of ice forming along the top of the tea in the bath.

First The Duchess felt a wave of sensation--the child in her arms seemed to go reptilian and wiggle around. She quickly became convinced she was holding a snake.

"Disgusting," she said, wrinkling her nose. Then the snowstorm came, freezing her breath in her throat and coating the edges of her dress with snow. "Take the foul thing," she said, shoving the squirming, crying child into the arms of The Snow Queen. She felt sick, and the room seemed to tilt.

The Hatter blew out a stream of air between his teeth and watched it wiggle in front of his mouth. It interested him for only a minute, but in that minute, he lost focus of what his mind was relaying, and the hold of his spell seemed to snap.

Upon hearing The Duchess offer the baby up, he gave a small frown. Had he wasted his tea for nothing? Then, it struck him -- His tea! "What have you done!?" he shrieked, turning around on the balls of his heels to finally note the iced layer blanketing his tub of tea.

What use was tea cold!?

The snow in the bathroom stopped falling for an instant as the Duchess shoved the baby into Deirdre's arms. She blinked at the wriggling child and smiled softly to herself, whispering. "Kyle?" In the next moment, she was cradling it close to her body as the blizzard whipped around her again. The storm flickered several more times, the snow erratically falling and stopping for the span of merely seconds.

When the Hatter's spell finally broke, she pulled herself up to her full height, completely the Queen once more. She kept the baby safe in her arms and glared at the Hatter. "I care not about your tea", she practically sneered. She raked her glance over the two of them and turned her back to leave.

The Duchess couldn't stand to be in the bathroom for a moment longer, not with the tea in the bathtub or the snake child or the Hatter leering at her. "I am going out," she declared, with what little composure she could still collect around herself, and pushed past The Snow Queen, ignoring the child she suddenly knew not to be hers and stomping out of the apartment, shaker in hand.
