bingbongbilly​:

Billy’s entire night has been spent with a drink in his hand, bouncing from person to person as he slowly starts recognizing his friends behind the masks. Of course he approached a lot of strangers as he made incorrect guesses too, but that hasn’t proved to be a problem again, Billy happily taking any opportunity he can to make some new friends. When he sees Elsa across the room, though, he recognizes her right away. “Wow, look at you!” Billy gasps, grabbing Elsa’s hands so he can spin her in a circle, making sure to move at a pace that her slow moving limbs can keep up. “Promise me you’ll save me a dance later?” // @elsafrankenteen​

having long ago lost track of her group of friends, elsa finds herself slowly making her way through the night with champagne in hand. she’d also lost track of how many drinks she’d had once naveen brought her the first one, but she was sure that mattered very little. what’s the worst that can happen? “bing bong!” elsa coos, not even a little fazed when her friend takes her hand in his and spins her around. she takes note of the way he takes special care in making sure not to do it too fast, and she’s more than grateful for that. “look at you! you’re all sparkly, you look so nice! and fun!” though that’s hardly surprising, in the short amount of time she’d known him bing bong was nothing but fun. “of course,” and then she pauses, realizing something. “i’m not exactly the best dancer though.” in fact, she’s a terrible dancer, body moving far too slow for it to ever look right.

eveningstarlottie​:

it takes a moment for lottie to fully place who the girl she’s spent the past minute staring at was - so much about her seeming extremely familiar but the suit she’s wearing just throwing the blonde off. not for any valid reason because as soon as she realizes that it’s elsa, it all makes sense. but still she just hadn’t expected it. “you’re not wearin’ a dress,” she comments, a little dumbly as she approaches her friend. “you know, if ya needed someone to help you pick one out i woulda loved to go shoppin’ with ya.” there’s a pause as those words sink in and lottie quickly adds on. “you still look real pretty, though. the suit… fits ya - but a dress coulda been gorgeous too.” @elsafrankenteen​

“oh,” elsa smiles as lottie comes up to her immediately bringing up the fact that she had chosen not to wear a dress. slowly, she looks down at her green suit, small frown touching her features as she wonders if lottie didn’t like her outfit or thought she didn’t look good. “no, no. i just...wanted to wear a suit. i thought it looked nice.” she doesn’t verbalize that now she’s second guessing it. “oh, well thank you!” she smiles, though it doesn’t completely brighten up her face because she’s still worrying about whether or not lottie hates her outfit. “you look really pretty too!” there’s a brief pause as she thinks about what she says, quickly adding on “you always look real pretty, but your dress is so nice. where’d you get it?” 

[elsafrankenteen]

phantcsma​:

“here!” phoebe chirped as she approached the table, two cups of blueberry ginger fizz in her hands. she didn’t necessarily need to drink anymore but she always liked to try the drinks they served at these events. it was always something new to her. “i don’t really know what it is but it sounded good!” she set the cups down, taking a seat across from her. @elsafrankenteen​

elsa pokes at her slice of berry cheesecake, pushing the berries around for her own amusement as she waits for phoebe to come back. “aw, thanks.” she smiles brightly, eyeing the drink the blonde sets down in front of her. “it can’t be worse than their lemonade.” how humans managed to make something like lemonade bad, she’ll never understand. but their take on the drink was far too sweet, lacking any sour punch at all. “wanna split this cake with me?” she asks, pushing the plate to the middle of the table so they could share. 

[elsafrankenteen]

a night of dancing and drinking could take it’s toll on most, but elsa finds herself still fully charged (thanks to her shockman) and ready to go. the only thing that gets elsa off the dance floor and off to the side was the realization that winnie was hungry. “how many do you think you can catch?” elsa asks with a smile, challenge clear in her eyes as she holds up one of pieces of popcorn chicken. of all the girls winnie was the most competitive -- which was saying something because given the right scenario they all had their moments -- so elsa doesn’t even have to think twice about it, she knows whatever number winnie announces is sure to be high up there. and winnie would definitely see to it that she catches all of them. it’s probably not appropriate ball etiquette, but elsa is hardly concerned about that in the slightest. @howlingwinnie

[elsafrankenteen]

it was so easy to get swept up in how grand the night was. most of her life wasted away in a crumbling cottage, she hardly ever got to see things that were this magnificent, and she was certain the charm of it would never wear off no matter how often she and her friends find themselves in experiences on the island. or, at least it would never wear off for her. “sibella!” elsa exclaims, not even excitement able to force the word out any faster than normal. she wraps her arms around her best friend, pulling her close to her chest for a hug as she lifts her off the ground in her joy. “did you want to dance?” it only takes a moment for elsa to realize that the ease in which she lifts sibella could be weird to anyone else, so, with a sheepish smile she sets sibella back on her feet. @fangtasticsibella​

[elsafrankenteen]

wrapping presents was always a lot harder than it i initially seemed. at her core, elsa had always been far better at creating gifts, putting both her beating hearts into making something her friends and her father would love and appreciate. wrapping them was hardly something she considered herself good at, but she always tried. “winnie, put that down please.” elsa frowns, glancing over at where her best friend’s sitting playing with the wrapping paper. “we need it. here you can have this.” she sticks a shiny gold bow on her friend’s nose, smiling brightly at how cute she looks. @howlingwinnie

[elsafrankenteen]

over her short time on the island elsa had grown accustomed to the fact that humans didn’t share the same dietary habits she and her friends did. the lack of swamp water and bugs in their food slowly stopped alarming her until, eventually, she just learned to accept it. the reluctant acceptance doesn’t stop her from wanting to introduce her friends to the weird foods, and today was no exception. she’d swiped a recipe for mini cakes from the bakery, spending the majority of her afternoon perfecting the little treats for her friends. and now all there was left to do was decorate them. when she hears the familiar humming voice nearby elsa sets the icing down, smile bright as she slowly moves to the living room to find phoebe coming in. “phoebe!” she greets, waving her into the kitchen: “i got something to show you, come on.” @phantcsma

Location: Winter Village - Ice ring (Arandelle)

Coraline was just looking for a small quiet space where she could get away from the tide of people, choosing to sit on one of the small benches placed near the ice ring so that people could take off their running shoes and then use the ice skates to enter in that frost place full of differente people that were having fun. With hers resting next to her, the woman couldn’t help her eyes closing and fluttering at the cold mixed with laughter. Was there a way to get in there and not make herself look ridiculous? Reopening her view, she was surprised to see an all too familiar figure standing in front of her. “You have become adept at stealth. Do you want me to give you a bell for Christmas?” She joked, raising her fist to fist bump with Elsa, muscles somewhat stiff from not being started. One part of her was glad to see that familiar face and to be able to count on someone, the other felt a certain nervousness and wanted to flee to break that knot in her stomach. The second was something childish without reason, an action that for some reason occurred when the two met, such as secretly doing a travesty but leaving incriminating evidence behind. “It’s no fair laughing if I fall, I’ll chase you if you do.” @elsafrankenteen​

[elsafrankenteen]

elsa needed a break. normally the ice palace was never this crowded, and she was free to skate as she pleased, moving at a pace that worked for her. but tonight the rink was packed and honestly she shouldn’t even be a little surprised by that fact. “are you okay?” she asks as she walks over to where coraline is sitting on one of the benches. towering over the girl like this it’s hard to hide the concern on her face as she watches coraline take a moment to herself. “i think a bell would be a funny touch.” she giggles at the thought. if coraline did get her a bell for Christmas, well elsa was far too nice not to wear it. She’d just have to make sure Sibella could work it in with the clothes she makes her — maybe a choker could work? “i would never laugh at you! have you never skated before?” sitting down next to her, Elsa pats the other girl’s leg. “besides, chasing me wouldn’t be the most...effective. you’d catch me too quickly.”

[eveningstarlottie]

Wrapping her arm through Elsa’s, mostly so she remembers to slow down her pace to not walk too fast for the other girl, Lottie’s eyes remain wide as she takes in all of the decorations around them. “It’s like we’re in a snowglobe,” she muses aloud, turning her head to grin at the other girl. “I ain’t never seen anythin’ like this. Christmas back home is pretty but this… this puts it to shame…” And they’d yet to even see the tree fully lit up - once that happened, Lottie was gonna be a goner. As much as she adored her hometown it was as if the island was slowly winning over her heart piece by piece with each new event she attends. “Do y’all do stuff like this in Germany? I bet it’s real pretty over there.” @elsafrankenteen​

[elsafrankenteen]

elsa smiles as lottie links their arms together, happily clinging to the blonde as they walk through the festival together. the twinkling lights wrapped around tree branches and dotted along streetlights are amazing— bright glow reminding Elsa of stars in the blacl night sky. “yeah?” she asks, a little surprised to hear that the holidays in Lottie’s hometown werent as grandiose and magnificent. admittedly she knows very little about the states, and is more than willing to take Lottie’s words at face value. but it doesn’t stop her curiosity. “what is it like in Louisiana?” quick to dismiss Lottie’s question, Elsa shrugs, shaking her head. “i don’t really know.” she begins with a small apologetic smile. “dada and i lived away from the cities,” an easy way to get around admitting they lived in total isolation in a run down, abandoned cottage “and he never let me go out to see the festivals. but it always looked nice from my window, at night you could see all the lights shining in the dark. but i never got to experience it.”

[elsafrankenteen]

phantcsma​:

Phoebe always felt a little sad around the holidays, even more so since she had moved to Corona with the other girls. She missed her father even if their holidays together had always been pretty lonely. The winter festival made up for it though, being able to go every year with the people closest to her always managed to cheer her up. “Oh my goodness, everything looks so beautiful this year!” She gushed, the biggest smile on her face. “What do you want to do first?” @elsafrankenteen​

winter was a season elsa had a strange relationship with. the harsh chill of cold air, the touch of white snow on her skin -- it all felt like home. and anything that reminded elsa of home left the girl with a complex mix of emotions. on one hand, she was always grateful to be reminded of her father and all the warmth he tried so hard to provide her. on the other, home made her think of literal centuries worth of isolation. but it was almost impossible to dwell on the dreary and downtrodden moments when she’s with phoebe. “yeah, they always do so well with these things,” elsa nods with a smile that doesn’t necessarily match phoebe’s own. but it’s hard for anyone to match phoebe’s enthusiasm, and that’s one of the many things elsa loves about her. “we can go to the wine and design station! we could paint something to hang up in the house.” 

[elsafrankenteen]

periwinters​:

peri gave a smile at the sudden exclamation, feeling herself brighten up at this girl’s excitement, “no, you’re totally okay!” she shakes the girl’s–elsa’s–hand, grateful she got something right, “it’s nice to meet you too! i’m sorry i can’t help much with the study guide. i watch tink work sometimes and it absolutely baffles me. it’s all so unbelievably clever!” peri takes her hand back after the shake and sticks it in her pocket, rocking back onto her heels, “i could try to make it out if you want? i’m an early ed major so i don’t really do the engineering stuff.”

“oh, don’t be sorry! it’s not your fault at all.” elsa wants to add that as far as she’s concerned even if she had found the right twin it still wouldn’t have been much help. the study guide was just far too much information, even with both her and tink’s brains working on it. “tink is so clever,” she nods excitedly, not even thinking twice about it. “we have different focuses primarily and i’m always so excited to see the things she’s cooking up. i don’t think there’s anything she can’t fix.” in all honesty elsa kind of looked up to tink in a way, constantly in awe of just how well the blonde worked. but this wasn’t about tink, this was an opportunity to make a new friend. “oh, i wouldn’t want to be a bother.” elsa waves off her offer with an easy smile. “early ed?” she asks, cocking her head to the side. her time in school was limited and her exposure to the different kinds of courses other people could be taking were even more so.

🎉 Star

elsa had been to plenty roller derby matches over time. her desire to support all her friends in their seperate interests keeps her coming to trollstice on a regular basis, cheering winnie and star on as if she had never seen them compete before. the excitement never dulls, the pure joy at being able to hug them after a bout never fading even after all this time. “you’re such a little badass!” elsa runs to star after spending a few moments with winnie. instinctively, she lifts the blonde into her arms, spinning her around as she hugs her, laughter filling the space around them as she does so, @starbflyy

[elsafrankenteen]

🥪 (Claudette)

elsa hardly knew what to make of her relationship with her boss. the blonde wasn’t warm or kind, her words were neither nurturing or soft and that was a dizzying change of pace from miss grimwood. but elsa never had much need for the warm presence the old witch had given her and her friends, she welcomed it of course, but hardly thought she would have broken without it. so navigating conversation with claudette wasn’t necessarily difficult — what makes it strange is how little they have to say to each other. “have you ever hard quark?” she asks, holding out the box of circular treats she’d made the night before. “i felt a little homesick,” elsa explains with a small smile. “and i saved you some.” @claudettebijou

[elsafrankenteen]

“ hey , uh , what do you got there ? “ (wasabi)

unaware that wasabi had even entered the room, elsa jumps a little when she hears his voice. two hearts racing as she yanks the headphones of her adapted shockman off her neck, she does her best to let the initial fear die down. elsa unclips her hair, letting the dark curls conceal her strange anatomy once again before he gets closer. “this?” she asks, bright smile on her face as she looks down at the little device. “it’s uh...nothing? something i made for my dad.” it’s not even a lie, but it’s not necessarily the truth either and the guilt of that threatens to eat at her. so, she changes the subject. “did you wanna see my final project for my engineering class? i think i finally worked out the kinks on it.” @walterwasabiginger

[elsafrankenteen]

“ god … i can’t look away , it’s like my eyes are drawn to it. “ (sibella)

elsa stares down at the cup on the table in front of them, lips pulled down into a frown as she looks at it’s contents. the drink (if one could even call it that) was a mix of colors; blue, red, yellow and purple mashed together in one thick mixture. and, as if it wasn’t already an eyesore, the whipped topping on the top of the drink was covered in multicolored syrups and sprinkles. elsa would commend the barista for their effort if it looked like any had been put in. the rainbow colored monstrosity couldn’t possibly be classified as cute, not when it looked like a unicorn puked in the cup. “it’s...so bright.” and not in the best way, not even in a kind of good way. “i bet it tastes horrible,” all that food coloring and sugar? it had to. “wanna try it?” elsa asks excitedly, the prospect of something new outweighing her disgust. @fangtasticsibella

[guyydiamond]

elsafrankenteen​:

elsa finds, more than anything, that it’s almost impossible for her to not be enthused by other’s joy. for as long as she’s been alive all she’d ever wanted was to have the experiences that others were granted, an opportunity to know glee in the way humans did. to feel free in the most basic of senses. and, while it wasn’t the same thing in the slightest, nothing seemed more fun spirited and freeing than karaoke. the idea of people just going up on a stage and singing their hearts out was enticing to her, from a viewer’s standpoint because music was certainly not her strong suit. sure, more often than not the people singing weren’t the most talented but it took a lot of courage to do it and Elsa could at the very least respect that. she’s hanging back by the bar, bopping her along to the beat of an uptempo song she hardly recognizes when the man next to her speaks. the man who was apparently the owner. “oh, but it’s so fun here.” elsa speaks after a quick moment of silence passes over them, words coming out slower than she would like. but it’s clear he needs to be reminded why this was such a good investment. who could say no to bringing this much joy to people? “yeah, they’re not the most…talented.” the pause in between the words ‘most’ and ‘talented’ was unbearable even to her, as she struggled to find the right word. “but they’re trying. and it’s admirable that you give everyone a chance. that’s a great thing!”

guy knew he was a harsh person and he was very much ready to reply to the woman with even more harsh words, but he stopped himself. maybe it was his inner poppy voice, but something in him said to be a little more….less guy-like…..with this girl. she was unusually optimistic for someone who went into his bar. not that he didn’t get cheery customers, but they were normally drunk or stupid. she did not look drunk or stupid, so he was at a loss of words for a moment. but only for a moment. “yeah, i can be quite charitable sometimes. but it still hurts my ears. i would rather the people who were good be the ones to give us three encores, but no, it’s always the hacks.”

[elsafrankenteen]

the smile on elsa’s face falters momentarily when the owner doesn’t immediately respond. silence from strangers is something elsa has found herself growing used to since moving here, people often thrown off by the constant slow speech and movements. but even though she’s used to it, it doesn’t mean she likes dealing with the silent judgement. but then he speaks, carrying on with the conversation as if he hadn’t even noticed it. what a nice change of pace. “hmm,” she hums, brows furrowing as she tries to find a solution. “have you ever tried throwing the bad ones into a moat after you grow tired of them?” it’s lost on her that this man probably has no access to a gator infested moat, but it’s the best solution in her mind. “that way your stage is cleared and they get an electrifying work out!”

[periwinters]

Peri Winters still could not get over the fact that she knew so little about the place she grew up in. Walking around, even during her sophomore year of college, there were whole parts of the island she had hardly seen before! And it was all so amazing! She had gotten glimpses from Corona history books in her father’s library, as well as old yearbooks of students of Corona past, but it was something entirely different to experience it for herself. She didn’t blame her father for not taking her to these places, of course she couldn’t! He was an older man raising a little girl all on his own while trying to maintain a library. He didn’t have much time to take her to the places likely to be rated Top 10 on some blogging websites. Still, Peri thought it made exploring them while she was older that much more exciting.

She was walking by…some place, one earbud in playing Vivaldi and the other out so she could listen to the sounds of the people and environment around her. It was mostly quiet and peaceful and Peri was really enjoying her moment alone until she heard someone come up to her, calling her “Tink”, and begin talking.

Peri hadn’t seen this person before and blinked in confusion. Shouldn’t people know her by now? After all, it’s been a whole year, “Sorry…I-I’m not Tink. She’s my twin sister.” She offered out her hand, people still did that, right? “I’m Peri.” 

[elsafrankenteen]

elsa wasn’t necessarily sure what to make of the study guide one of her engineering professors had given the class. it was by far way more information to review than elsa had been anticipating, and certainly more than she would have preferred being loaded with for one of her more difficult classes. clutching one of her textbooks close to her chest, elsa tried her best to catch up with the blonde walking on ahead. surely tink would share the same opinions as her, and maybe they could even study together. luckily tink stops, clearly hearing the way elsa calls after her, and it gives the brunette a moment to catch up. “hey, did you want to get together to go over the study guide?” as elsa talks she places the momentary confusion that passes over the blonde’s face, and that causes her to pause. the confusion only deepens as she’s told the person in front of her isn’t tink, and it takes a moment before elsa’s borrowed mind catches up with the conversation. “a twin!” elsa smiles, suddenly excited by what the information she’s earning. “i didn’t know tink had a twin. i’m so sorry to bother you.” but all the same, she is happy to meet her. elsa stares down at the blonde’s outstretched hand for a moment, willing her body to take her brain’s command a little quicker even though it doesn’t. shaking her hand, elsa introduces herself too. “hello peri, i’m elsa. it’s nice to meet you.”
