“Oh, I love Samhain! It’s my favorite holiday!”

“I get to eat lots of chocolate, dress up, watch scary movies, abduct multitudes of humans, bob for apples--it’s the best time of the year!”

“Hey! That’s not fair!”

“I’ve been a good kid! Come ooon, can’t you at least show me some magic?” He wouldn’t say he cares all that much, or at all, but yeah he totally cares. Who wouldn’t at least be curious? Assuming it’s not all a hoax; he does still have his doubts.

What does he take her for? Santa Claus? 

“Aww, sweetie... I really doubt that.” She poofs up a cup and teapot and pours herself a cup of tea, sipping on it smugly as she watches him beg. “Aren’t you a little old to be believing in magic? I mean, maybe what I just did was sleight of hand.”

     “A real fairy? How intriguing! I’m sure you’d be a worthwhile test subject! Too bad I can’t invite you into my lab. Although— I could create a new lab here of course! But I’d need also new fellow geniuses to command around and risk their lives for me!”  He’s stopping his rambling for a moment to think about her question.

“Hrm, that’s a good question. I still don’t really know how I ended up here. But you say this is a different realm? Tell me more about that!“

“You know, honey, when you put it like that, not many people are going to flock to that offer.” Of all the things Wanda has on her bucket list, “be a test subject for vaguely defined experiments” is way at the bottom. But, she surmises, this goblin must be somewhat of a moron anyway.

“You... don’t know?” she asks. “Where’ve you been? Ten thousand years ago the humans defeated the magical creatures at the Battle of Tailtiu and banished us to the Other World? And that’s why we don’t live with humans anymore? C’mon, they tell babies this story! Although--” She gestures around her. “--This place is unlike any other on Earth. There’s too much magic here, so maybe it called to you somehow? That’s why I’m here, at least.”

“I’m not a demon. Rude. I know Christianity falsely maligned us as demons when the early missionaries went to convert the people from the better, far superior paganism, but we’re not. We’re not angels, either. We’re fairies.”

“God. Satan. Can’t be bothered with either. You can do whatever it is your kind does, but I don’t want to be involved with... what do you want me for?”

[faerious]

@drboomy

“I know what you are. You’re a goblin! Goodness, I haven’t seen a goblin in ages... it’s been several thousand years, in fact.”

“... Probably because you being here on Earth is a massive violation of the treaty, but it’s not my job to enforce that, so I’m not going to.” (Wanda’s well aware going above and beyond for her job is worthless.) “... How’d you get out of your realm, though?”

[faerious]

@usosama

“This stuff’s pretty obscure these days, but in old lore, they said fairies can’t lie. Where’d they get that impression? We can lie. We’re just... really bad at it.”

“But you know what we’re good at? Trickery. So you’ve got a lot of nerve trying to trick a grand master. You’re not getting a wish for free, kid. And don’t think you can weasel your way into a discount, either!”

“Another fae? Now, what sort of stroke of luck might this be…”

“Well, I’ll be. I didn’t expect there to be another fairfolk here. But you’re not one of us.”

“But luck? That depends. Are you Seelie or Unseelie?”

Wanda looks down at her resume.

“Let’s see here... I’ve been a garbage fairy, a battlemage, a [redacted], a fairy godmother, not to mention that one stint in wand IT... are my skills just not applicable these days?” She sighs. “That’s it! If I can’t get a job, I’ll just make one myself!”

[faerious]

On Cosmo

Crab because why not.

Despite being a city dedicated to forging relationships, Wanda came to Koi already having that stuff squared away. She’s married to her rather, ah, interesting husband, Cosmo.

They’ve been married for almost ten thousand years.

In this verse, they do have Poof as their son! He’s around 10-11 now. Still looks like a basketball. I imagine fairies function a bit like insects, so that’s his “larval” stage before he metamorphoses into his adult form.

They didn’t have a fight or anything. Wanda just came to Koi because she got laid off from her godparenting job and needs to make some quick cash. They’re in contact every night, and let’s say her family often comes over to visit. 

Neither of them seem to remember how they met. Either that, or they’re unwilling to tell the real story for whatever reason. The only thing that’s consistent is they were high school sweethearts, but the love at first sight cliché they feed their godkids is complete bullshit.

Wanda never regarded Cosmo badly, but was mostly oblivious to him when they were young. He was bullied terribly, and when Wanda caught wind of this she viewed him like a cute and dumb puppy that needed protection. And Wanda loves having something to protect.

Despite that, she didn’t start dating him out of pity. She legitimately accepted out of mutual interest, even though Cosmo actually isn’t her type at all. (Really, Wanda thinks men are garbage anyway, but has to accept the fact she’s doomed to finding them attractive).

Even though he’s thicker than a stack of bricks, there’s many qualities Wanda likes about Cosmo. She likes his openmindedness, enthusiasm, humor, and childlike glee toward everything. But mostly she married him because he’s incredibly entertaining. When you’re an immortal being, you have to keep yourself entertained, and despite Cosmo’s numerous faults, she’s never been bored once.

What she dislikes about him is his shortsightedness, lack of work ethic, hedonism--and most of all--insensitivity. Whether intentional or not, Cosmo has said and done things she hasn’t forgiven him for.

But his general dimwittedness isn’t that much of a dealbreaker to her. Wanda isn’t entirely convinced he’s an idiot. He can be wildly creative, and he has his strokes of brilliance. She likes that he operates by insane troll logic, but deep down she suspects he pretends to be less capable than he actually is so he’ll get away with his nonsense. Sometimes she even thinks he’s not a fairy but Satan in disguise, due to his penchant for leading his wards to making the worst possible decisions.

@mcxedout

She’s an ancient spirit of happiness who’s lived for several millenia now, having traveled the Earth and the nearest galaxies. Her ancestors, having come from beyond the observable universe themselves, recorded and categorized their travels to their new homeworld over the course of billions of years, with the intention of teaching their knowledge to each new changeling given existence by strong feelings of joy and a handful of stardust.

Needless to say, Wanda considers herself a bit of an expert on things both terrestrial and extraterrestrial, but the being in front of her doesn’t ring any bells. It’s unusual for aliens to have fur, and this creature’s wearing Earth boy clothes despite not being of any identifiable gaian species. 

Maybe... he suffers from a bad case of hirsutism? But that doesn’t explain why he vaguely looks like a dog. Wanda squints, trying to think of a polite way to ask her question. She’s definitely sympathetic to anyone non-human in this city (she gets the “what are you?” quest a LOT, and she finds that very rude).

“So... where are you from?” she asks.

@ruralscientist

“Don’t you know it’s dangerous for humans to mess with extradimensional portals? You were THIS close to summoning a demon! Lucky for you I was around and pushed him out of the way so I got summoned to this dump instead.”

Wanda works out a crick in her neck. She isn’t the biggest fan of extradimensional entity summonings, much less ones that are facilitated by machines over arcane rituals (the clandestine methods, at least, are a more comfortable journey for the creature of High Strangeness being called). She gives the machine a slight thwack with her foot. “Your technology is nice and all, but you should never, ever attempt to summon without the proper magical precautions put in place! Relying on a machine like this, you’ll never know what’s going to come out of that portal, and that’s how your soul ends up devoured by an Elder God! Got it? Now since you’ve been blindly summoning creatures from other worlds, you must want something. But I’m telling you in advance: I don’t work for free.”

     For a moment, Star thought she had heard a voice pierce the sounds of her insistent whining. When she glanced around, she saw herself staring at a cute being that was in the air. Pink was definitely a good color on this person.

     “Is it really that late?” Star asked. The Mewman knew that it was obviously nighttime. But she didn’t think that it was entirely too late. If this was late than Star dreaded the times she had been out until the wee hours of the morning.

     “I’m sure I can handle myself!” Star exclaimed. “I know I’m a cute girl and all, but I can totally kick some butt.”

     She was boasting. Star was a little too confident in her abilities but she knew that if anything happened, then she could just punch her way out of any danger (or at least cast some sort of spell to allow her to run away, but running was normally never the option).

     “Woah, I’m getting off track, though. Have you ever seen a glow-in-the-dark necklace?” she asked, pulling at the supposedly magic necklace that was secured around her neck. “Do you know how I get it to glow?”

Wanda poofs up a watch. “It’s a quarter to eleven. Isn’t it a school night?” Not that anybody here really enforces a curfew, if there is one at all. The children in this city seem to do whatever they want without paying mind to the adults. She internally rolls her eyes. The last godchild she had would go hog wild with the freedom kids had here.

“I’m glad you can defend yourself and all, but best not to put yourself in danger in the first place.” There’s the fairy’s overly-cautious nature poking through again; everyone back home poked fun at her for being so uptight, but it took only one mistake to screw up one’s life forever. 

“A glow in the dark...?” Wanda trails off and sighs when she sees the necklace. “So this is what this is about? You’re out at night, all alone, with a literal serial killer on the loose, for a glow in the dark necklace?”

She takes a few deeps breaths, realizing the tone of her voice (she completed like three whole anger management classes, but at least it seems she took away something from them). “Okay. All right then. Why not? First things first, all chemical reactions need energy to kick off. It’s supposed to be charged under a light source first. Did you try that?”

[stardemewni-blog]

@faerious liked for a starter || Starter Call

     Some glow-in-the-dark necklace that this turned out to be. Once Star had set out into the night streets of Star, she figured that the necklace required time within the darkened sky to fully activate and unearth its magical properties. But after walking around for some time, the necklace was still as dull as it was when she first put it around her neck.

     For a moment, the girl considered setting the necklace on fire but decided against it. It must have had its own fire capabilities and regular fire would have ruined it. But still, this necklace was troublesome and she was starting to like it less and less.

     What sort of magic did she need to unlock to make this necklace work? “Come onnnnn,” Star whined, “you need to work. I’ve been looking forward to this all dayyyy.”

[faerious]

When she’s away from her family, Wanda can’t bring herself to cook. And besides, why should she when Japanese convenience stores are literally amazing? Toting a plastic bag too big for her frame through the air, she looks out to the stars above and shakes her head. She spent too long exploring the store. She hadn’t meant for it to turn into a late-night food run, but apparently her curiosity was far greater than her hunger at the moment. 

But fairies are, at heart, nocturnal creatures anyway, even though they may have altered their sleep schedules for their human wards. Wanda knows she shouldn’t be out at this time--isn’t there a serial killer or something running around--but oh well. She can more than handle herself if she runs into any trouble.

This girl can’t, though.

The sìth shakes her head, partly in disbelief and concern she’d be out at this time all alone, and clears her throat.

“Hey, what are you doing out so late?” she asks. “Don’t you know there’s dangerous people out at this time?”

Animal Familiar Quiz!

Result: Grizzly Bear

A Grizzly Bear undeniably represents the power of nature, closeness to the earth, and the heart of a brave, persevering warrior. At times, they can seem calm and stable. However, if one hurts them or their cubs, they will fight with some of the greatest ferocity of any animal on earth. In the same way, you will fight until the very end to protect those close to you. However, despite your toughness, you are actually a very soft-hearted, peaceful individual inside. A Bear familiar is an excellent companion in battle, will loyally protect their master, and fills them with bravery when they need it the most.

This familiar represents:

-Protection

-Power

-Courage

-Freedom

-Unpredictability

-Ferocity
