How can we fix this?
Use it well.
[Because Hopper tends to turn a blind eye to this meeting on the school grounds, Robin isn't going to push it with alcohol. Please don't bring any, or you will be turned away.]
There's trouble in the air someone's already dead, dear ones. I'm sure it's nothing we can't face or deal with. But there is strength in numbers and if you don't want to stay alone while this is all going on, my home is open to you. I can't promise a cooked breakfast every morning but I always keep a fresh pot of coffee around.
Alexis, I know you have family here and I hope the both of you are safe?
Lyra, you're staying with me until this is all over. No arguments. Please. Iorek? I do have space for you as well. If you can promise not to eat me.
Joyce? Are you really gone... Mercy? You too?
Iorek comes to check on and help his fellow mostly creature friend, only for there to be some surprises.WARNINGS Violence, kidnapping, broken limbs
I cannot thank you enough for all you have done. Even if it is not permanent, it has helped me immensely to be able to be myself much more. It has made being here so much more tolerable. If ever I can be assistance, please let me know. While I do not perform much magic myself, I have found I can be of great assistance when someone else is magical. If ever I can help any of you, only say the word. Even if it is only to be an ear to listen.
I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me with a question I have.
I have thankfully been able to spend time as a unicorn again, but I have been experiencing these headaches...I don't suppose you still have the lavender and such that you used for that bath I had the first night? It was very much a comfort and I think it might help me.
Good king, I was curious as to whether you have experienced strange nightmares recently? I do not really dream as a unicorn, but now I have and it's very strange. You're one of the few who might understand how I feel.
I...would also love another walk. If you are interested?
We were able to figure out a way to help Amalthea be a unicorn for a few hours a day. I'm not sure if the exact same idea will work for you re: sneezing into a mortal, but we might be able to do it.
Do you have anything from your world here?
ARRIVAL
The thick, ghastly haze of the mist, once practically opaque to the naked eye, fades and opens up to a nostalgic homegrown New England town. A friendly gazebo, freshly painted white sits on a neatly mown lawn at the center of the town square. Vehicles stop at the redlight while locals cross the street, birds chirp in the trees, and a school bus stops to pick up a few children in oversized backpacks. Pedestrians walk by you without a second glance. Did they not see you suddenly appearing out of nowhere? How could they not have noticed that all encompassing fog? And why doesnβt your obviously otherworldly attire catch their attention? This appears to be a small, close knit community. And itβs clear youβre not from around these parts.
But these are simply the first of many mysteries youβre about to discover.
The further you investigate your new surroundings, the more ominous this seemingly quaint and colloquial town becomes. Thereβs something dark beneath its pleasant guise. You canβt shake the chill at the back of your neck and the sense that someoneβor somethingβis watching you. Then thereβs the odd graffiti on the alleyway walls and the way the locals talk about certain locations. And while the mist is gone, there are places in town that make you reminisce about the mist. Places that feel supernaturally thin. Thin enough to let in whispers from the other side. Or maybe even screams.
And donβt worry if you hear laughter or the jingling chimes of carnival coming from the rain gutters in the street. Thatβs just your imagination. Thereβs nothing down there.
Nothing that floats.
