“ so , who do i go see about   getting an official apology ? ”

                          she sneered , kicking at the ground to release some                           of her frustrations . juniper had almost gotten in control                           during the investigation and winter could feel her in the                           back of her head even now ; stronger than before .

“ i mean , i told them i wasn’t   behind this thing and i still   have some cuts from those   fucking cuffs they put me in . ”

          ❝ They did not apologize to you ?? ❞ She asked , her nails maybe gripping onto the paper she used for communication a little too tightly. She was angry - even though she’d only been in Auradon for little time compared to everyone else , this seemed so . . . confusing. And wrong. ❝ That is not fair. You deserve an apology. And a favor of sorts. ❞ A nod , pointing to the word ‘deserve’ - which she’d also underlined about three times.

– ♔ Azure drops to linger on marked skin, interest growing per second. Curious, wasn’t it. She’d never seen such tattoo’s before, and on someone so young. “Doesn’t matter, love.” Katherine offers a shake of her head. “Yer a lady, innet on ye ta ‘ave ta watch where yer goin’ all tha time. Et’s on them.” Pricks, really. “Nah, think yer just fine. — ye want ta join me? Whatever ye want, et’s on me.”

              She can feel the eyes on her tattoos - and it’s nothing like shame that washes over her. No , instead it’s more so PRIDE. Pride in showing the marks of where she came from. And she has to state , ❝ These are Atlantean. Everyone in my home sports markings like these. ❞ Of course , all on paper. Hand rubbing over her shoulder before falling back to the pen ,  ❝ I will join you. But you do not have to pay for me - I would rather simply enjoy the company. ❞

She smiles at the words. “You have a lovely voice.” She turns and orders two of everything. “Here we are lovely. Enjoy.” She had enough money to buy it, so she did. She didn’t mind at all.

She nods - before looking at exactly what would be purchased for her. And admittedly , the princess of Atlantis is . . . shocked. ❝ . . . How can you afford all of this ?? ❞

Maddy wracked her brain for everything she knew about Atlantis. It was definitely a…place. The girl before her didn’t seem like an Auradonian. Well, not a typical Auradonian. She didn’t have that aura of privilege that made Maddy hate all the princes and princesses. “Well, it’s fine.” She decided eventually, “They’re both Islands right? Maybe….” She tried to think about what the Isle’s terrible school had taught her. Unfortunately geography had been cut for Posessions and spirit work. “Do you want to go get a drink or something?” She said, changing the subject. 

            She nodded - they were both islands. Of course , that didn’t mean her parents were exempt from being included in the divide of “hero” against “villain.” There were many bad guys that she’d been told about as a child - one of which nearly caused the extinction of her people. But she wasn’t as aware of the ISLE and AURADON CULTURE and everything in between as she thought. Hence . . . not really understanding the animosity - or why your status as a VK or an Ak would matter. But she was learning - it was confusing , but she was learning. ❝ I would like a drink. Water. ❞  She replied on paper , nodding once more.

yes    !!   lithe    fingers    find   quivi’s    wrist    ,    giving    it   a    gentle    squeeze   .    the    blonde’s   excitement    was    more   and    more    evident   as    moments    passed   .    “    i    guarantee   you    —    you   will    not    regret   this    .    ”    and    then   she’s    already    dragging   her    away    from   the    streets    into   a    bar    that   shines    with    lights   and    moves    along   the    upbeat    rhythm   .    these    were   the    nights    that   victoire    lived    for   .

          The bright lights , the loud music - it’s nothing similar to anything Quivi is remotely used to. She has to squint when the contrast of a dark room and colorful lighting hits her eyes , and she can already hear a million voices talking to one another but can she make out anything they’re saying ?? No. Not in the slightest. And she has to stop Victoire in their path , quickly scribbling out - ❝ What are we supposed to do here ?? ❞

“Do you have any allergies I need to know about first? I don’t want to make you sick.” She was always concerned with others safety, as she was studying to be a doctor. She always asked about allergies before she bought food, it was just habit at this point.

        Observing the menu in front of her , all of the selections of treats she’d yet to try , Quivi shook her head and looked at Halima. And then suddenly , spoken word - a rarity - she replied , ❝ I would like to try everything. ❞

Maddy smiled at the other girl, she was kind of adorable. “Sure do,” She said, winking so her hair turned green, one of the only spells (other than mim fire) she could do without a verbal incantation, “Well us VKs have to stick together, and besides, there’s no reason to be mad, it was just an accident.” She tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, “I’m Maddy Mim,” She offered a hand, “I don’t think we’ve met before. Where on the Isle were you from?” 

         Eyes watched as her hair changed shades with a childlike wonder - almost funny to witness it from someone who seemed as mature as Quivi. Quivi , whose six-foot-three frame forever walked around like she had a knife close to guard herself and a permanent stoic expression on her face. Quivi , who always seemed like she had to be on the defensive eternally. Now , she allowed herself to show the true innocence of her nature - until the other mentioned VKs sticking together. ❝ Hm ?? ❞ The first verbal sound - accompanied by a furrow of the brow , and Quivi wrote down on her notepad once more. ❝  I am not from the Isle. I am from Atlantis. ❞

there’s    a    pause    before   the    realization    hits   her    and    for   a    moment    victoire   feels    ashamed    for   her    almost    presumptuous    thinking   .    with    her   lifestyle    the    blonde   often    forgot    that   there    were    people   who    weren’t    as   .    .    .    untamed    as   she    was    when   it    came    to   the    party    life   .    “    why   didn’t    you    start   with    that    .    ”    within   a    snap    of   a    finger    she   had    her    trademark   smile    plastered    on   her    lips    once   again    .    “    just    follow   my    lead    and   you’ll    get    the   hang    of    it   soon    .    ”

      Maybe at this point , she decides to give in - because when Quinvidia left Atlantis fo Auradon , one thing her parents informed her was that she shouldn’t be afraid to try something NEW. Gain more experience through opportunities that Atlantis couldn’t offer - now yes , maybe they spoke more in the context of her making friends and the like , but partying is . . . one way to go about it , yes ?? So she smiles and offers a slight nod. ❝ Okay. ❞ She communicates through sign , motioning for other to lead the way to wherever.

– ♔ Whether it was the heightened tension of VKs and Villains roaming the streets of Auradon or that people in Auradon were just genuinely more asshole-y than everyone thought, Katherine isn’t sure. It doesn’t however excuse behaviour deemed unfit even to someone as M A D as the daughter of Mim. “Feck ‘em.” Voice loud enough that people around can hear her opinion, despite how form is practically encrouching on the other young woman, delicately moving around her. “Ain’t yer fault they got in yer way, maybe they oughtta look where they’re goin’, aye?”

        Brown eyes would trail around to the woman now growing clse , Quivi’s eyebrows raising slightly from the sheer surprise someone would even remotely be speaking in her favor. In her defense , almost. That would . . . technically be what she was doing , yes ?? As a nervous habit , a tattooed hand moved to rub her arm and carefully take out her notepad and pen - eyes darting between the previous victim and now the new face. ❝ But I still didn’t look , either. ❞ She replied , clutching the paper with her scribbled words. ❝ I need to work on that , I think. ❞

“Of course you can buy your own, but I don’t mind at all.” she smiles at her. “What would you like then? They have really good things here. I like everything.”

            ❝ It’s Atlantean. ❞ Is what she thinks to reply - still not specifying that it’s a nickname and not the full name. Because again - Quinvidia is proving problematic even for older Auradonians to get right. It’s not a pet peeve - . . . or , maybe it IS , but she feels petty pointing it out to anyone. ❝ Can you pick for me ?? I’ve never been here before. ❞

Maddy could tell the other girl was stressed. She assumed she was a VK and was just trying to help a friend out, but she had an…accent. It was a little weird, she couldn’t quite place it. To be fair, Maddy had yet to meet an Atlantean and would have been surprised to know she was talking to a Princess of Atlantis. “Oh just a little spell…personally I wouldn’t drink it, but it wasn’t doing anyone any good on the ground anyway.” 

             ❝ I see. ❞ The words on her notepad replies , Quivi’s eyes once again following the victim of her accident before they’d dissipate out of view entirely. She bit her lip , turning to Maddy and flipping the page to respond further ,  ❝ Do you cast spells like those often ?? You did not have to do that. I was content with him being angry at me. ❞ She wasn’t , but she did feel guilty another had to fix her mistake. The gesture was kind , and she did appreciate it - but of course , it did not come without a twinge of embarrassment.

“Quivi. What a beautiful name. It’s so lovely to meet you. Now let’s get you something to eat yeah?” She leads her to the line and urges her to order any and as much as she wants. “I’m buyin sweetheart.”

        She gets a tad confused - because she does have her own money and she is capable of paying. She writes down , ❝ You don’t have to buy me anything. I am alright. ❞ Because of course , she feels guilty allowing someone else to pay - even when she doesn’t even know if she wants anything.

she    blinks   few    times    ,    as    if   processing    the    brunette’s    words   (    or    maybe   she    was    just   caught    up    in   her    alcoholic    gaze   ,    who    knows   )    .    “    there’s    always   a    theme    .    ”    the   blonde    explained    ,    her    words   entwined    with    a    bit    of   hurt    .    why   didn’t    this    person   want    to    party   with    her    ?    

         She notes the tone - Quivi suddenly growing scared she’s OFFENDED the welcoming blonde with her confusion , her . . . awkwardness. Hesitance. Apprehension. Her hands would fold if not for the fact she has to write her responses , carefully scribbling down , ❝ I haven’t been to many parties. ❞ Aside from Atlantean festivals ; she hasn’t even been to a formal ball before. ❝ What do I do if there are no rules ?? ❞

Maddy had been watching the entire thing. The person jumping over roofs, falling, knocking a latte out of someone’s hands and then running again. The whole thing was jarring, at first she was amazed by the graceful movements almost like a comic book. Then the scene changed so abruptly she couldn’t help but burst into laughter. The Auradonians seemed out for blood, but then they always resembled a pack of hungry wolves to maddy. “No need to clutch your purse, do something good and reverse,” She said, waving a finger and fixing the spilled Latte, before looking at the girl who had fallen. “Alright people, nothing to see here.” She said, waving a hand, then turning to the other girl, “Are you okay? Don’t let the vultures get to you.” 

          She watched in awe as the latte seemed to repair itself , watched as the spill was corrected. And she felt as if she was shriveling up and falling into herself , until the other had approached her - eyebrows raising. Vultures ?? Where were - Oh. Obviously , bitter passerbys and staring faces were what she meant by vultures. Quivi - ever still becoming used to the SLANG thrown around by Auradon’s citizens - found herself nodding. Maybe not because she was alright ; no , the Atlantean woman was still a tad bit frazzled from the encounter. Instead of assuring the other she was fine , slender fingers reached to pull out her notepad , and soon had she written , ❝ How did you do that ?? Did you fix the drink ?? ❞

[atlvntea]

( cfhalima‌ )

She smiles. She doesn’t say anything about the pen and pad. If the girl doesn’t want to talk she doesn’t have to. “I’m Halima. Nice to meet you.”

           Quivi nods , lips parting as her eyes drift to the pen she moves between her fingers. She writes her name out in two ways : one in English , and then one in Atlantean. ❝ Quivi. ❞ It reads - because Quinvidia has proven to be a mouthful time after time again. And then , just to clarify , she signs out her name with one hand , as well. ❝ Quivi.❞ The small smile she gifts in return is meant to say , Nice to meet you , too.

ooc - 

I might try and bring in another character ?? I don’t know yet - I’m not doing that great but new characters & writing are sort of my coping mechanism so I think a fresh face might help a bit. I’m thinking either :

- C y r u s , son of Theodora , annoying troublemaker witch kid who won’t shut the fuck up - fc pending , probably will be either Brenton Thwaites or Jack Mulhern - S a m u e l , child of [ pending , considering Cogsworth or the Blue Fairy, possibly others ] , basically your mom friend & nurse / caretaker in training - Rocky Lynch fc since I’m almost finished with a fair amount of resources I’m making and I’ll be damned if I don’t use them.

If anyone has any suggestions or preferences I’d really appreciate it ?? I love writing both characters so much - and I know I could bring both but... I do NOT want to overwhelm myself. It be like that sometimes.

Pandora hears the sound, a rumbling, soft and like the crumbling of rocks miles away. A grin. It’s wide and loud, there’s always something strange about the wonderlandians smile. the hatter blinks at the notepad and then up at the girl. she reaches into her pocket and fishes around for a moment. finding what she wants the blonde hands the girl a pen with a small tea cup on top. “maybe someday you’ll be able to answer why the raven is like a writing desk, but i can’t, so i won’t. lets find cake. i like cake. pink cake, lavender cake, cake that is small and large. anything but normal cake.”

           The girl’s words are woven in tangles that Quivi is finding difficult to grasp ; hence why her eyes squint a tad as she hesitantly takes the pen. But of course , she isn’t rude at all - she nods her head as a bid of thanks , stashing her fountain pen in her pocket and holding the teacup pen in its place. ❝ Why is a raven like a writing desk ? How are they similar ? ❞ She doesn’t know exactly what she’s getting herself into - unaware that this will truly only lead to more confusion. But she walks with the other , still enticed by the prospect of cake.
