Video - Seelie/Unseelie (Post dated to after the feast)

[curser]

[Have a curiously peering fairy, Drabwurld. It's a close up of one oddly colored green eye before it's drawn away and the rest of the face comes into focus, along with the horns and large wings as a backdrop.]

Is this some form of scrying stone? How curious. And I'm to talk into this?

[She turns to look at a pixie, one who's hovering near her head and giving her directions on how to use the locket.]

And one can address everyone this way? Marvelous.

[The pixie tells her that it's on and that currently everyone can see her and she eyes the locket again, wondering at how this particular bit of magic works.]

Greetings. To those that do not know me, my name is Maleficent. I'm curious to see if a girl has wound up here as well. Golden hair, blue eyes, and quite likely charming those around her. Her name is Aurora and if anyone has seen her, I'd very much appreciate being informed of this.

[She looks to be about to turn the locket off, but there's a small twitch of her lips as she begins talking again.]

I suppose I'd also like to be informed if anyone finds a raven who is not a raven. He's incredibly cheeky, but he's also mine.

[And that would be the end of her speech. No need for pleases and thank yous. Someone's clearly used to being obeyed.]

[ That actually has her thinking as well as blurting it out without even considering what she asks once again. ]

Then why do you come in different sizes? How come all of you are not the same?

[curser]

I could ask you much the same questions. Why do humans come in different colors and sizes? We are what we are, as you are what you are. You may as well ask why you've the hair color you do.

[digophelia]

[ That manages to have Alice smiling, just a little. ]

I suppose that is true! If I do say so myself, it's amazing to see beings that belong in fairy tales in person. We certainly have none of this London.

It's what makes this place wonderful, at times.

[curser]

No fairies? Well, your world must be dreadfully boring.

[Because really, Alice, what was a world without magic?]

[digophelia]

Oh, but it is very boring!

[ She has been saying this for the past ten or some years. ]

[curser]

Then I can very well see why you might have found your way here.

[Honestly. Nothing but humans? Perish the thought.]

[digophelia]

Well, not completely intentional! If I had the choice to return to my hometown, I would have. But this place is just fine.

Except for the occasional problems that happen.

[ People hoarding cursed jewels, mountains caving in, your friend being a human shield... ]

[curser]

Is the place you come from without trouble? That's quite an achievement.

['Especially for humans', which is what she's polite enough not to say.]
