A real fish out of water

Ariel, 24, Youngest daughter of Triton, Collector of anything and everything. Patient at Rogue Vengeance suffering from Paranoid Personality Disorder

Tatum still walked down the other side of the row, closer to the door. Not any faster than she would have, she gave no indication she had made up her mind either way. “No,” She answered the question with a smile and small shake of her head. “Usually there’s not much reason for me to be out here. Probably should… fresh air and all that. Do you?” 

[arielunderthesun]

Ariel listened to her and nodded in understanding, although Ariel had every reason to be out here, away from any staff members. Finding a little pot of flowers that looked pretty, she felt the petals between her fingers as she replied. "I'm usually in the garden more than I am here. I prefer the open air usually." Looking around, she wondered what flowers to focus on. "Do you have a favorite flower, Miss?" Ariel asked, finally giving the brunette another glance.

"Cheshire doesn’t like the rain or any water for that fact, But then again Back home He was a cat." He didn’t know if Ariel had met Cheshire yet. Mad readjusted himself against the wall, leaning back against the hard cold asylum. "Well next time i’m sewing, I can come and show you what the needle looks like. It’s sharp of course. Hence why i have to be supervised." He hated being supervised. Thats  why he was out here. The closet thing to freedom at this asylum. "I would make Gowns. Extravagant gowns for the Queen and her court. Like whenever she would have a ball, i would make a new dress for her. But i can sew anything really. I’m very good with my hands." 

[arielunderthesun]

At the mention of Cheshire, Ariel's eyebrows rose slightly. They had only met briefly in the middle of the night so Ariel's opinion of the man-cat was minimal for now. She nodded slowly, although she didn't understand enough about cats, only catfish. "That makes sense I guess," she replied slowly. Considering his offer, Ariel gave Mad another nod. "Okay, I guess that doesn't sound too bad," she replied with a half-smile, thinking of how much she hated supervision as well. Still learning the meanings of different human terms, Ariel could at least understand 'gowns' and 'extravagant' because the maids and female servants in Eric's castle often mentioned these things. Eyes widening with interest, Ariel thought of her dresses given to her by Carlotta. "Did the Queen love dancing in the gowns you made her?"

Jack had luckily finished his peaches in the brief silence of her eating and while she was speaking. The orderlies didn’t even notice until he stood up with an empty tray and empty fruit cup. He looked at Ariel with a smile as the orderlies walked away.

"Lead the way." He said, cheerfully.

[arielunderthesun]

Ariel could sense that the orderlies were walking away and focusing their attentions on other patients, but she still needed to get out of the cafeteria. Throwing her things away and placing the tray on the stand, Ariel took Jack's hand in hers. His skin did seem a bit cooler than she was used to, but it didn't bother her. Sometimes the sea could be very cold so there was nothing to be alarmed about.

When they made it out to the sunshine, Ariel let out a sigh of relief and kicked off her shoes. She turned to Jack and gave him a relieved smile. "This is much better," she stated. "Is there a spot you like to visit out here?"

Jack sped up his eating. Ariel was getting nervous again, he could tell. Two more large bites and then he was done. He drank the peach juice first and started working on the peaches.

"Me, too! To all of that." He said. He loved the garden. Back in the dry and hot New Orleans and in Halloweentown, most nature scenery was dirt and dead plants. But here it was so green and alive.

[arielunderthesun]

Ariel noticed she had finished all of her main meal so she moved onto her rainbow jiggly sweet and fruit cup. Human food was always so fascinating when it wasn't at the expense of the lives of her friends under the sea. Everything was just so sweet!

Smiling at Jack, it didn't take long for Ariel to finish her sweet treats. "Great! I can show you where my favorite bushes are," she told him. Usually she savored them at every opportunity, but she just needed to get out of here, stop suffocating. Standing with an intake of breath and a few blinks, she picked up her tray. "Come on, Jack." Her voice was friendly, but her body was slightly tense; she knew she wouldn't feel calm until her feet felt the dewy grass beneath.

"She was a life size toy queen. He was able to use her to make her subjects believe that she had picked him as her royal consort so he could rule the queendom……and for a while the people did believe it till she started to malfunction when I got a hold of her controls."

Basil was quite fine with answering Ariel’s questions. He was enjoying it very much. “Either way he was stopped before he could get rid of the queen, but he had kidnapped the girl and the chase was on to get the girl back and send him to jail”  He explained that he, the father and his associate Dawson chased him all over London till they got to big ben where up on the tower they had their big fight and that Ratigan fell while Basil had survived.

[arielunderthesun]

Ariel's eyes widened considerably at this information. "Really? That's terrible that someone would try to fool so many people like that," she commented. "But I suppose it makes sense. Anyone hungry for power would do anything and everything to get what they want."

Eyes glittering with fascination, Ariel leaned on the edge of her seat to listen to Basil's tale. She loved adventure and mystery and he had her hooked, but in a good way. He was a detective, a good person, someone who intended to protect others. She could handle that. She admired that, even. "Wow, you're very brave to do all of that, Basil," she told him. "The right kind of man to protect your home." She smiled at him and leaned back in her seat once again,not as apprehensive of him as she originally had been.

Jack realized the flaw in his plan. He’d have to eat and quickly. They’d probably leave after that. Which meant they won. He mentally sighed but kept true to to his word. He took three huge bites of his sandwich and chewed as much as he could before swallowing.

"So what did you have in mind after this?" He asked, realizing he never really had a plan for after this.

[arielunderthesun]

Ariel did her best to focus on just her meal and Jack's face but she couldn't help but feel the gazes of the orderlies focused on her. It unsettled her much the way the eyes of Ursula's pet eels unsettled her. She just wanted to have some time to herself without the fear of their taunts or false concerns.

Grateful when Jack spoke, Ariel's mind turned away from her paranoid thoughts, at least for now. "I usually hide out somewhere in the garden," she told him. "I like it there the most." Not as many painful memories, she added inwardly.

A soft voice sounded, and Elsa turned her gaze from the drama of fictional characters to the redhead that was sitting nearby. She seemed familiar, then it clicked - she was the girl from the fountain who said the water was speaking to her. Not much else stuck, however. Elsa gave a small, forced smile in greeting before pushing the remote towards the girl. “You can change it,” she said gently, shrugging.

[arielunderthesun]

Ariel watched the blonde curiously through the strands of her hair. Well, the girl had been here first, why should she ask for any changes about the room? Not to mention, Ariel still wasn't sure how this magical black box worked. She wanted to know, but she decided not to try her luck. "No, it's all right," she replied. "I wouldn't know what to change it to anyway." Finding that she couldn't stay exactly quiet, Ariel looked at the blonde once more. "What's you name? I'm Ariel."

"What would I give to live where you are? What would I pay to stay here beside you? What would I do to see you smiling at me?

Jack nodded along as she spoke. “I apparently need to be watched, too.” He made a circular motion with his finger so she’d notice the few orderlies around. “Just to make sure I actually DO eat.”

He felt bad for her mistaken Eric sighting. She must have felt embarrassed once it wasn’t him. Now they’re thinking she’s crazier. A plan formulated in his head. He smirked then leaned forward.

"I have an idea….. What if we scarf down this food as fast as we can then dash out of here and do whatever we want without them watching?" He said with a friendly grin but with a slight deviousness to it. 

[arielunderthesun]

"Oh, that's no fun," Ariel said, making a face. Although she wasn't a fan of being followed and watched by those shark-like orderlies, she didn't worry them with a lack of appetite or anything of the sort. Still, it bothered her to know that other patients were being followed like this.

As she finally started biting into a bit of her food, Jack leaned toward her, as if telling her a secret. Mirroring his movements, she listened to his plan and gave him a smile. "Oh that sounds just perfect," she agreed, clasping her hands together. She continued eating at her food, excited at the idea of running away from the orderlies rather than frightened. It reminded her of the way she used to be, under the sea.

Elsa sat in her favourite corner of the main couch in the common room. Despite her mood, she didn’t want to give the doctors the impression that she needed more medication. What she needed was to be alone, but that was impossible here, so she’d sought out the least occupied room. For a bit, she’d dozed on and off before she’d awoken to found the paper still in her hand, and not a dream. She’d now resorted to watching the television aimlessly.

[arielunderthesun]

Ariel had been forced out of her room by the orderlies that morning because she apparently needed to be social and not let her paranoia overrule her. So to avoid their touches, she had been going back and forth to various places in the asylum. Every time she saw a staff member, she scurried away as fast as possible. Now with a half-full belly, Ariel just wanted to lay down somewhere. Her energy seemed to drop drastically once she made it to the fourth floor so she trudged her way to a couch in the common room to rest there for a little while. Blinking lazily after she felt the soft cushion surround her, Ariel's ocean gaze fell on a blonde she vaguely recognized. Since they both seemed to need alone time, Ariel gave her a quick and quiet "Hello" and nothing more.

[sleepless-beautyaurora-deactiva]

Do you think

"Maybe if I stay here long enough, the nurses won’t come and look for me?" Aurora asked, her head rolling lazily to the side to stare at the other person.

[arielunderthesun]

Ariel turned when she heard a voice. Listening to their words, she looked around a bit superstitiously then gave a nod. "Yes, I think so," she replied softly, attempting to keep attention off the two of them. She was in the same situation, trying to avoid the nurses and orderlies. "Sometimes running away from them doesn't work." She frowned considerably. "What are they trying to make you do?"

[insane-little-doll-deactivated2]

[arielunderthesun]

Ariel decided she needed a quiet activity today. She wasn't sure if she wanted company, but she could deal with a bit of conversation if need be. Simply put, the thought and delusion that she had actually seen Eric and he recognized her was killing Ariel inside. The paranoia that Ursula had found her and was playing with her mind made her close off from the others in the asylum when she had begun to create friendships was no help to her.

Shaking her head and taking a deep breath, Ariel wandered into the art room, glad there was barely anyone inside. She saw the blonde who had given her the basket of treats and gave her a tiny smile. Rubbing her hands, Ariel slowly made her to one of the tables and stared at the supplies on display. "What are you doing there?" she asked softly and without much enthusiasm, unsure of what to with herself, but in need of busy work.

He nodded his head. “Well i bet you really miss the ocean back home. Do you like to sneak out here when it’s raining as well?” He lifted an eyebrow up at her. “Being out here is much better than being stuck back in that place.” Mad shook his head back towards the asylum. “Well Back in Wonderland, I was a hatter. I made hats for that Terrible Red Queen. Plus i have a hat. I can also make clothes.” He didn’t know how sheltered Ariel was since she didn’t know what a sewer did. “You’ve seen a needle, Right Ariel? And i’m not talking about those Needle that some nurses like to stick you with to put medicine in your body. This needle is has a hole in the top and you put thread through it.” He explained. 

[arielunderthesun]

"Oh no, I don't the rain as much," Ariel said after thinking about it for a moment. She had touched the rain once while here, but it didn't fascinate her. She preferred to swim, not be poured on. she nodded in agreement and understanding. It was easier to avoid the staff members when outside rather than hiding in the asylum. Hats and a queen whose rule he didn't agree with... Interesting. While Hatter tried to explain a needle to her, Ariel thought back to what she saw the maids and female servants do in Eric's castle. "I might have..." she replied tentatively. Other than seeing the needles for medicine used by the nurses, she couldn't remember every seeing anything like that. "What sort of clothes did you like to make?" she asked to try and get his attention off her obvious lack of human knowledge. She didn't need those sorts of horrible questions.

She gasped again and shook her head. “Sorry. Sorry. Won’t ask.” He said. He looked at her again with a deadpan face. “Do we need to breathe together again?” He asked.

Once she moved on the question, he took that as a ‘no’. He smiled quickly to lighten the mood.

"I’ve been VERY well, thank you. How have you been?" He then realized his question. He made a face that easily read as ‘besides this episode’.

[arielunderthesun]

"Thank you," Ariel faintly whispered, pushing her food around on her tray, picking at it. No, she didn't need breathing exercises. She was fine as long as she didn't talk or think about it.

She simply could not let Ursula inside her again...

It made her happy to know that Jack had been well. He was a sweet man and the kind of patient who deserved any friend he made. "I've been...well enough," Ariel told him. "I've been having more ups and downs as Doctor Tremaine tells me." She gave a side-eyed glance towards orderly Genie. "And I need to be watched more." Nervously, her fingers combed through her hair but seeing a dinglehopper, she picked it up and used that instead. "I thought I saw him, my prince, my Eric and she says that's making things worse for me..."

Basil nodded and smiled a little. “It was sometimes.Sometimes it wasn’t. Depending on the case itself.” He nodded as he went through a lot of his cases, but thought of one. It wouldn’t hurt……..just to see what her reaction is.  

"Alright, well probably one of my greatest ones was when a little girl came to my home and asked me to find her father. That he was kidnapped by a goon of my arch nemesis. Who was having the man build him a toy look a like of the queen herself in order to get rid of her and take over the queendom."

[arielunderthesun]

Ariel listened intently, nodding a bit absently, trying to picture every word he spoke with a vivid image in her head. As Basil talked of this case, she thought of how her father was constantly searching for her rather than the other way around. She could never figure out if Daddy had more enemies or herself, but her father probably still had a few more. Eyes widening however as he spoke of his enemy hoping to overthrow the queen, Ariel understood that plainly. Many attempts had been made to dethrone her father that she often intercepted. Looking at Basil, Ariel asked, "What would a...toy of a queen do for him? Would people believe it really was the queen?"
