FOURTH WALL - Joint Post

JOINT POST for Gambit and Noa! Make a note in the subject line who you're wanting and I'll answer ♥



GAMBIT: Will be lurking around Good Spirits both nights, keeping an eye on who comes and goes. There will probably be much card shuffling.

NOA: Will be busy running around town the entire time and getting into everyone's business. Anyone, anywhere, any time, she'll be there and will be fascinated by all.

MINE TOO /holds <3

[Magic, yes! Mutation? Nnnot so much. Not that Crysta would even know what a mutation is.

But... oh, that has to be magic! Curiously, she buzzes closer, although she frequently darts behind any other space or object, so as not to be seen. ... Because she totally hasn't been spotted. Totally.]

<3!

[kineticcajun]

[Maybe if he wasn't keeping so careful a watch out. But he is, and so you are very much an obvious thing, blue glowy. Not that he has much idea of what you are.

Still testing, he takes one card from the top of the deck and puts it down on the table, somewhere between them.

It's not charged, for what it's worth.]

[livesinatree]

[And Crysta will investigate! ... Hesitantly, anyway.

She buzzes down and glances up at Gambit - omg human - before taking a look at the card. It's thin like a leaf, but it looks nothing like one, and... hm. Maybe she could just ask him what it is! Though that would require her to do something else, first.]

Bless your eyes with magic light I [THIS IS SO EXCITING SHE'S GOING TO TALK TO A HUMAN] give the gift of fairy size! [WAIT SHIT NO] Sight!

[kineticcajun]

[OHGOD WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED

What just

seriously

IS THIS HIS CARD THAT HE IS STANDING ON BECAUSE IT IS STUPID HUGE NOW

mon dieu it has to be his card the pattern matches and...

...is that a fairy girl.

Give him a moment.]

...Is this some kinda pixie dust t'ing?

this is the best thing oh my gosh

[livesinatree]

[Yeah, she's still got a lot of work to do in regards to this whole magic thing.

However, Crysta shakes her head in response to his question.]

No, I'm a fairy.

What about you? Are you really a human?

[WAIT don't get distracted. She should probably explain.]

Well, I was trying to cast a spell so you could see me, but... I kind of shrunk you by accident. [WHOOPS.]

i am dying

[kineticcajun]

[...Seriously?]

I'm a human alright. [Homo superior, no less I mean uh]

...Can you undo that spell, petite?

[Merde, petite goes for both of them, doesn't it.]

that makes two of us

[livesinatree]

'Pehteet'? [WHAT DOES THIS HUMAN WORD MEAN? She'll have to ask him again after she changes him back... and also if all human's talk like that.]

I could try... I've never actually done anything like this before.

[kineticcajun]

[Nevermind the French lessons, there are more important things at hand here.]

Nothin' to rewind it? [Dieu, please don't tell him he's going to be an inch tall for the rest of his life.] Maybe you jus' need a minute to t'ink of it?

[livesinatree]

I guess I could take a bash at it? [SO UNSURE.] Um... just a second.

[She'll just... point her hands a Gambit and give this a try.]

What was done, now undo... return you to the form that's true? [... Now to see if it actually works or if it messes him up even more.]

[kineticcajun]

[THE SPELL, IT DOES NOTHING]

...Maybe we oughta let you recharge a bit first.

[livesinatree]

[FUCK.

Also she doesn't know what recharge means.]

Are you sure? I'm positive I can get it right if I try again. [No, she can't.]

[kineticcajun]

[He's hesitant to let her try again and risk becoming only a centimeter tall, but... sigh.]

Okay. One more try, then I t'ink waitin' a few minutes is prob'ly for the best.

[livesinatree]

[Hey, with how her magic sometimes goes he may not even end up being the same species. IT'S LIKE A ROULETTE OF HORROR.]

Alright, just give me a moment. [She points her hands, recites again, and... looks away because oh gosh what if she screws up again?]

[kineticcajun]

[Something. Feels very weird. It's familiar, and something tells him it's been years since he last--

oh hell the card he's standing on is charging without him trying.

That, and his hair is frizzing out really badly.

WHAT KIND OF FAIRY ARE YOU oh god time to get off this card, he can't stop the charge. And he's carting you up on the way, Crysta, and running with you because it would take too long to explain.

Don't mind the kaboom behind them of that card going up.]

[livesinatree]

[Crysta doesn't understand why Gambit is suddenly running away or what he picked her up - A HUMAN PICKED HER UP OH GOODNESS - and she really doesn't understand this and BOOM OH GOD WHAT IS THAT BOOM WHAT IS IT WHY DID IT HAPPEN WHAT IS GOING ON???

Sorry, Gambit, Crysta's just going to fly out of your grasp to try and get a better look at what just happened. Of course, almost just as quickly she flies right back.]

What happened? Can all humans do that?

[kineticcajun]

[It's probably a good thing she did fly away, because now his gloves are itching and merde the palms are catching fire.

Tearing these off and stomping them out now.

Yeah, this is familiar.]

Non. That's somethin' only I do, far as I've found.

[livesinatree]

[Oh dear, this isn't very good.]

So...it's like a magic that only you can do. [... And she made it mess up, didn't she? ;;]

[kineticcajun]

[No worries, just overflowing with kinetic energy again. It's happened before. At least he's in miniature this time.]

Somethin' like that. It's a part of who I am. Prob'ly more science than magic, though.

[do fairies even know what science is]

[livesinatree]

...'Science'? [THERE'S YOUR ANSWER, GAMBIT.]

[kineticcajun]

[YEP, SURE IS]

Nevermind, petite.

[livesinatree]

[Oh, it's that funny word again.]

Hm... do all humans talk like you? [It's kind of strange!]

[kineticcajun]

[Okay, that makes him laugh.]

Non. Jus' us Cajuns. [Beat.] ...People who come from the same area as me, that is.

[livesinatree]

Oh, I understand! [That's... so interesting!

Humans are absolutely fascinating. Thank goodness they aren't really extinct.]

I wonder if it's like that with fairies, too... though I haven't met any outside of Fern Gully.

[kineticcajun]

Prob'ly is, petite. People tend to talk different dependin' on where they're from.

[This is really kind of cute.

And he'd probably have more time to dwell on that thought if his palms weren't itching so badly with the kinetic charge overflow. Not. Touching. Anything.]

[livesinatree]

That's true... It would so be amazing to see and hear all the ways other humans would interact. [Yeah, she was just talking about fairies BUT HUMANS ARE MORE INTERESTING.

Just going to continue buzzing around, but she'll be sticking close to Gambit since she doesn't want to leave him alone before she can change him back.]

What is this place? [Curiosity always seems to get the better of her.]

It can't possibly be a tree, is it something humans made?

[Oh, oh, oh!]

And what about the white that falls to the ground? It turned into water as soon as I touched some of it! Did humans do that, too? [Lives in an Australian rainforest. WHAT IS SNOW???]
