Hello.

[ Elsa's eyes are bright as she sits on camera, posture perfect, expression even. she's not sure if this is The Thing To Do Here, but it feels right to introduce herself, as others have been doing before her. if she's going to be working together with these people to fight for a common cause, she would like to get to know them. so there's no Queenly Air going on, just- a friendly face! well. she hopes she looks friendly. she's trying. she's still really new at this! ]

I am Queen Elsa, of Arendelle, and I've been chosen by the Seelie kingdom to help in their efforts to protect -my Shard. Well, all of our Shards, correct? And this kingdom. I'm honored to be here, truly. [ even though an inVITATION IN ADVANCE WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE ahem ahem anyway. it's clear Elsa doesn't have all the facts on this fight, but she's working with what she knows, yeah.] War isn't entirely foreign to me, in concept, although I admit there hasn't been a time of war in my kingdom since I was born, so. I'll try my best to help, in whatever way I can, although I'll need to look to those with experience for guidance. [ but I won't slay anybody, that's insane. wait, shh, don't say that. that's a very undiplomatic thing to say. ]

Which is why I'm reaching out now, in hopes of finding someone that might be able to teach me how to use my given talents to help. Especially now, with the notice of the monsters [ worms, ew. ] that are attacking the land. In the interest of full disclosure- I have ice magic. And as uncommon as it is back in Arendelle, I know that isn't the case here, so I'm hoping that being honest about that isn't as unheard of as it was back home. I'm hoping to find someone willing to teach me how to use my magic both effectively, and safely, in this ..situation. [ she can't just go around making with the icicle stabby on everything they're told to fight. ..can she? ]

Also, I have been looking for one young woman in particular, her name is Anna. Princess Anna. [ this is so the important part here, finding her sister. even if she was trying hard to make it sound casual and NOT AT ALL WORRIED. and hey, yeah, she's going to use their titles. she's proud of their titles, because she's proud of her kingdom. rep-re-sent! ] Anna, if you're here? Let me know, please. I'd like to meet with you as soon as possible.

[ arya is not a fan of queens, or princesses for that matter. but there is something about this woman... she makes no demands like cersei would. she seems sweet, almost like sansa, when sansa isn't being a-- still, arya is wary of her. she has magic she says but arya is skeptical of that.]

You have ice magic? What is ice magic?

[glacio]

[ wow spoiler: one of Elsa's biggest fear is people being afraid of her because of her powers. so, at first, she just registers young girl, and sure, Anna had been impressed with what she could do, but she knows better than to hope that all children would react the same. ..plus her tone. that is certainly a Tone. ]

I have the power to create ice and snow.

[ so she'll be plain with the girl, tone still light, but not aw hi little girl what's youuuurrr name? she knows better. ]

Would you like to see?

Just blast the monsters. Freeze them in place until the guys with sharp, pointy sticks run over.

[ Legit advice, Elsa. ]

[glacio]

But-

[ what if I freeze EVERYbody? everything? like literally everybody, ever, and all the land, and the castle, and the baby ducks, if there are baby ducks, and- ]

Is that what you're going to do?

voice.

[sangilak]

[ oh hey!! it's this lady again. ]

I haven't seen your friend around, sorry. [ buuUUUUuut ] I can help you out with your "magic".

voice.

[glacio]

Do you think your fighting techniques will work the same with what I can do?

[judicatus]

[ Gabranth hasn't exactly known many queens in his time — the late Empress of House Solidor, perhaps, and some might consider the Lady Ashe as such, though that's still a darkly grey area in his mind — but protocol takes hold of him nevertheless. ]

Your Highness.

That the rulers of this realm would dare to draft royalty into their quarrel speaks of little hope for the rest of us.

[ Well, at least a little protocol. ]

audio;

[glacio]

Oh. [ she might be blushing. to be honest, she hadn't really thought of it like that. being taken from her kingdom was startling, yes, but this felt- bigger than that. her title matters to her, but she doesn't expect it to matter to anyone else here. it's just a matter of being pride of where she's from, what family she belongs to. ]

I'm sure they were paying more attention to what I can do than to my status in Arendelle. I only recently had my coronation, after all. I meant it when I said I was honored to be here. If they believe I can use my powers to help, then- I'm glad for it.

[notpeterparker]

[Oh gosh, more royalty? How is she supposed to behave right now? Should she act more formal?

Carol, who was once reduced to a stuttering mess just seeing a famous senator, is having a rough time keeping her composure. She's never heard of Arendelle, but then again maybe it's just a place she hasn't heard of before.

So when she answers, she clearly looks nervous.]

H-hello, um [Oh no, she probably shouldn't say "um"] I-I haven't s-seen or heard from who you're looking for, but I-I can definitely keep an ear out for her in case she responds!

video

[glacio]

[ oh noooo don't be nervous please don't be afraid of her ahhhh ]

That's a very kind offer, so thank you. Anna's very sweet, so if you do see her, feel free to say hello, if you'd like to.

How's tutor-searching, Your Majesty? [Even though he was more clumsy with meeting Princess Hilda, Roxas feels like being a little bit of a tease to lighten his current mood. Aka guilty as all hell for not helping with the worms.]

I'll keep an eye out for Anna, but I'm also looking for somebody too. His name is Sora, and he's hard to miss. Brown hair, kinda like mine, and big yellow shoes. He's a big goofball. [Although he has his doubts Sora will appear if he currently has his Shard.]

[glacio]

It's going quite well, thank you.

[ damn kids!! just kidding. she doesn't mind being teased about her title, mostly because she heard that a lot from Anna when they were very little. ]

I'll keep my eye out for Sora as well, Roxas. As for Anna, she has red hair, blue eyes like mine. She's a big goofball too, and proudly so.

[Oooh more powers those are interesting.]

Those are pretty common where I come from. Or, well, powers having to do with water. I don't think I've heard of anyone who is specifically good at ice.

[But ahem that's not what we're talking about.]

How do they work? Do you activate them with movement? With feelings? Or speaking? I might be able to help you.

[glacio]

Really?

[ oh man it's okay though, becuase Elsa's been loving all that she's heard about powers in different worlds. s-so magical ]

They're activated with feelings, definitely. It took me a long time to realize that, but my emotions completely dictate the results of what I can create and do with my magic. Any sort of hand movements I do- they're just the ones I made a habit of doing when I was a child. To entertain my sister, mostly. [ le blush ]

[jaywalks]

I haven't met anyone named Anna.

[ aaaand because he IS HONESTLY CURIOUS and also tired because he's not an avatar and he lit giant worms on fire all day... ]

... Is the ice what made your hair that color?

[ mAKO THAT'S SO RUDE. ]

video;

[glacio]

[ that actually caught her off guard. not out of offense, but because of the fact that it makes her think of that streak of white Anna had in her hair all those years from her mistake. she never thought about it for herself, though. her mother had dark hair, her father had the same strawberry blonde as her sister, so. uh. wow, maybe it was. ]

It's genetic.

[ complete with a mild 'hmph!' pussface. even if she doesn't make the sound. ]

My hair color, not my powers.

[vazyol]

[ ice. dany recalls her dreams and visions: armor of ice, a blue rose in a glacial wall, rhaegar and the prince that was promised, the song of ice and fire. strange. she herself hasn't heard of arendelle, but its ice queen hardly seems cold. still, she regards elsa warily. magic has rarely boded well for her, and she won't be tricked again.

they're opposites, elsa and dany, ice and fire, but that only makes a potential alliance more powerful. ]

[ with her head held high, all the grace and poise of a queen. ] Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, trueborn queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Well met, Your Grace.

I'm afraid I know little of magic, so I can only ask questions where you seek answers, and I apologize for that. I[ a ppause, entirely purposeful. ] Is your magic truly limited to ice?

[ and not, y'know, something hella darker. ]

video;

[glacio]

Well met.

[ Westeros, Westeros. Elsa's always tried to keep herself knowledgable of the different kingdoms of the world, different lands. she knew she would have to know these things during her time as queen. but Westeros and its seven kingdoms don't pop up in her mind, she can't remember where they are on the map. and she almost feels guilty for it. but. she knows that this place didn't pull people from the same world, as hard as that is to believe, she knows it's much greater than that. still! she will absolutely give respect where respect is due, and not just because she's of royal blood. kindness, and even the potential of friendship, both go a long way, Elsa's learned that. she's not about to let her insecurities of her powers get in the way of that. ]

That's alright, I'm more than willing to answer what I can. [ she nods ] Ice and snow, yes. There is still a lot about it that I haven't learned, but it's all- ice.

[chiot]

Y'may be a Queen, but you ain't my Queen.

[glacio]

That's alright.

[ no really she doesn't want to be anyone's queen here ]

Who is your queen, if you don't mind me asking?

voice;

[altercate]

Ice magic?

[ THE MOST SKEPTICAL though lbr after everything derek should just be taking this in stride. ]

voice;

[glacio]

[ she's honestly surprised there aren't more people with that tone, so really. all good. ]

The power to create and manipulate ice and snow.

[ and freeze hearts and bring sidekick snowmen to life, but ssshhhhhh nothing to be wary of here ]

[parallels]

Ice magic?

Seems useful in a war.

[some people like her are completely lacking in any sort of abilities that would be useful in a war.]

video;

[glacio]

It could be. I hope so, at least. I wouldn't want to try it unless I knew I could control it, though. Right now- It wouldn't be safe for anyone.

Video

[mildly]

Your Grace.

[Margaery bows her head respectfully. But wow does this place seems to like queens and would-be queens.]

My name is Margaery Tyrell, and I fear I know nothing of ice magic - I come from a much warmer climate. But I would be happy to assist in your search for the Princess.

[glacio]

Pleased to meet you.

[ no really this is so great. it's like making friends at a party ( which.. she's only been to one, but, whatever. total expert. this is just like it. ), only less stressful because she doesn't have to worry about freezing anyone's hands off. babysteps!! ]

Normally Arendelle is quite warm, too. Which is part of why I was always so hesitant to use my powers back home. [ or something. ] But, yes, finding my sister is a much higher priority than that. It just seems strange to me that they would bring me here without her...

i'm sorry for a late tag...

[kingship]

[ Sinbad is cruising along meeting all the hot queens and princesses— i mean ... he's piqued by the mention of both wanting to help and ice magic. Thankfully she seems nothing like Judar. ]

Queen Elsa, I'm pleased to meet you. I'm King Sinbad of Sindria. Ice magic isn't my specialty [ probably. ] but I may be able to talk to you about your powers.

never late!

[glacio]

The pleasure is mine, Your Majesty.

[ it's- kind of cool, meeting someone else from a royal family. cool in a "oh good I'm not the only one" kind of way, a selfish way. ]

Oh?

Video

[friendofspirits]

Humans have so many Kings and Queens...

[Really. Deedlit has to wonder how they keep them all straight! Either way, she's all smiles as she speaks.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. My name is Deedlit. If I see anyone who goes by that name, I'll be sure to let you know.

[glacio]

Each kingdom has their own royal family, where I'm from, yes.

And the pleasure is all mine. Thank you, for keeping an eye out. Or an ear out, I should say.
