“She has always been really nice.” Ollie nodded, all the time he had accidentally hurt himself or anything like that and he had done that a fair number of times. Even after his friend was the one that broke her heart.

Though that was probably mending considering the man the other night.

“I think she has a new boyfriend you could try getting gossip if you wanted to.” Ollie offered trying to make it more light hearted. He was fine after all. Even if he just wanted to curl up in a ball and do nothing.

“Just volunteering here and there to help out. Who knows how class will be after all this.”

Isabel has been in a relationship with Ollie long enough to have learned his body language and so she was aware that her boyfriend was not as fine as he was making himself out to be. Normally, she would’ve pushed a little to get him to open up, but under all her pain medication her brain was in a bit of a fog.

At the same time, she knew that Ollie was aware that she was always here for him. If he wanted to talk, she would gladly listen even under all the pain medication in the world. 

So instead, the brunette simply gave his hand another gentle squeeze.

“Really? Who?” 

Isa vaguely remembered being transferred over from Ollie’s arms to Marzel’s that horrible night, if she had, she would’ve automatically assumed he was the boyfriend in question.

“For once, I’m okay with class taking it’s time to start, which you know is really heart-breaking coming from me because I love school.”

Elena knew she should have gone to the election mixer. Too tired, babies were up late and up again early, etc, that was no excuse to have not been with her sister when apparently she almost died!

She kept herself together if only for Isa’s sake and when she came out of surgery and Dr. Blackwell said she could go in and see her sister, she almost wept with relief. But didn’t. Again, keeping her shit together for Isa.

“Oh, mi vida, lay back down. It’s okay.” Elena cooed, settling into the chair by the hospital bed. “Do I need to call the nurse in for more medicine?”

Admittedly, the smile had hurt and so did any other type of movement whether or big or small that Isabel’s body did, but she didn’t want any more pain medication. She knew that she had already received a lot and it just made her feel loopy. 

“No... it’s okay. I don’t like how groggy it makes me feel... and the pain isn’t too bad right now.”

Nothing compared to what it had been before she had even gotten to the hospital. Isa hoped to never have to relive that pain again, but living in Swynlake always left everybody with that possibility. 

“You can sit next to me if you want, there is space in the bed.” 

Isa really hoped that Elena would, she wanted her sister close. She always felt better when Elena held her close. “Did the doctor tell you what they had to do to me here...?”

Wait, Weren’t We Here For Shoes? || Isalius

Cornelius had been browsing shoes for an upcoming conference he had. His favorite pair, the ones he always wore for years now to these events, had finally given out. The sole had worn out and it was honestly a sight.

Really, he was surprised the shoes made it this long.

But lucky for him, a shoe shop had just opened up in town. He hadn’t been able to go quite yet, but he’d heard good things from Franny. She’d told him the selection and service was good. That this Imelda character ran a tight ship and was force in of herself.

He really didn’t need to know all that, but he was glad there was a quality place nearby. He’d just been rounding the corner when a young girl ran right into him. He stumbled slightly, but caught himself on the shelf looking down to her.

“Oh, it’s - it’s my bad. Sorry about that,” He said, embarrassed with himself. he glanced to the book to her - then quickly back to the book. Blueprints? He knelt down carefully, picking it up to hand to her. “This your idea?” He found himself asking. “I mean - of course it is, sorry. I meant - what is it, if you don’t mind me asking.”

Cornelius Robinson had just spotted her journal and was looking at the blue print it had opened up to. It made Isabel’s face go red. It wasn’t that she was ashamed of her blue print, she loved every single invention she worked on, but this was Cornelius Robinson looking at her blueprint!

How many people could ever say that out loud?

And... what if he didn’t like what he was looking at? She’d be even more embarrassed then what she already was, and she was plenty embarrassed as it was.

“It is.” Isa nodded as she continued on. 

“It’s an invention I’ve been working on making. It’s a hand held device of sorts that I would like to be able to analyze the environment around it. I thought it would be helpful for explorers and the like because it can give valuable information like telling rather a wild berry is editable or not and/or the contamination levels of running water, things like that.” 

Right now Isabel was really, really, really hoping that her idea did not sound like a dumb one as she placed a smile on her features. “I’m Isabel or Isa for short. I’m sorry for that bump in again...” 

[littleprincesa-isabel]

Ollie wrapped one arm carefully around Isa’s waist but beyond that didn’t touch, He was too scared anything that he did could make it worse. Or hurt her more. He had caused too much pain recently.

“At least that’s more exciting than British Telly.” Ollie teased but his heart wasn’t into it. “You can try getting all the dirt from Minnie if she pops in or anything like that.” He hoped Minnie would because if there was someone in this hospital that he trusted it was her.

Isabel laughed a little, but it was a very brief laugh since even that caused her some pain and made her wince a bit. Anything that involved her abdomen muscles caused her some pain. She was going to have to ask for how long that will be lasting.

“She should be coming in soon.” Isa stole a quick glance at the wall clock. “It’s almost time for the next shift. She has been my nurse every time she’s been on. She’s really nice, I mean I always knew she was because she has always been nice to me, but even as a nurse she’s still so nice.”

Minnie, so far, has been Isa’s favorite nurse. She was always on top of everything and with her the brunette hardly had to wait for anything especially pain medications because Minnie was always on top of it all. 

“She’s been my favorite so far.” Isa took a hold of Ollie’s hand now giving it a small squeeze. “How have you been?”

Psych 101 || Candisa

Candace blinked.

The princess was a nerd?

This clashed so hard against every assumption that Candace had of not only princesses but, almost all pretty, popular, rich girls–that she actually couldn’t think of anything to say for a few seconds. All the ideas that she had were momentarily wiped from her brain. 

It rebooted itself quickly and Candace smiled.

“Oh, uh, no–I was just going back to my dorm.” She pointed over her shoulder, in the direction of the dorms…as if there was another dorm building on campus. (There wasn’t.) “But, we can definitely grab smoothies. The more time out of my room, the better. Don’t ask.” She gave a laugh and then tossed some of her hair over her shoulder as they started down the sidewalk.

“Sooo, what are your ideas? I am totally down to go super multimedia with the whole thing if you want. I’m an actress…so.” 

She hoped the enthusiasm at the promise of a multimedia project would hide Candace’s real enthusiasm for…the project itself. Even though the princess said that she had ideas and seemed excited herself for the project…Candace almost didn’t believe it and she didn’t want to reveal herself.

Candace mentioned not really wanting to be in her room, and honestly, she couldn’t have mentioned something that Isabel related to the most. In fact, it made the brunette smile, and not to be mean because she wouldn’t want anyone to be in the same predicament as she was when it came to their roommate, but it also felt so really nice to not be alone in that boat. 

And so, Isa kept her smile and even laughed a little. 

“Honestly, the same for me. I appreciate all the time away from my own dorm room.” 

So much so that when ever Ms. Imelda offered extra time, Isa was the first one to take it. She would rather be working over time than be caught dead in her dorm room. The pair began their walk over to Chippamunka as Isa shifted the strap of her back pack.

“I’d be happy with going super multimedia. My first thought was a power point, I know it’s sort of the cliche route, but I’m an engineering major so my brain just automatically goes there.” She shrugged. 

“I like the multimedia route a lot better though. Are you a theater major then? I give you a lot of credit! I can’t act to save my life.” 

Funny coming from a princess right? Who was used to being shoved in front of cameras, but see that had been when Isa was younger and even back then her parents had tried to protect her from publicity as much as possible.

Ollie’s own wounds were healing fine but they were nothing compared to what had happened to Isa. Nothing compared to what he did to the boys. Ollie still hated it.

Ollie shot up to help Isa sit up careful of anywhere that was still too bruised if he could avoid it.

“Fundraising, Volunteering. Nothing really too exciting. You’re not missing too much.” Ollie offered taking a seat beside her. “How’s everything in here?”

Isabel was very thankful for Ollie’s help because it would’ve been ten times harder to sit up without it. It was so mind boggling for Isa to realize that she couldn’t do the most simple of things at the current moment. Even reaching out for something caused her a lot of pain. She had to constantly remind herself that her body was healing.

As Ollie sat beside her, Isa very carefully leaned towards him to place her head on his shoulder. He was sitting on the side opposite of her sling arm so that made the movement easier. 

“Umm. I guess as normal as a hospital is. I sleep a lot, the pain medication makes me groggy. The tv works sometimes, but it doesn’t really have many channels and it’s all just old British telly. I heard some nurse tell her other nurse friend that she was going to be breaking up with her boyfriend. I don’t think they realize how thin these walls really are.”

BDRP Wrimo Task #4:

Plot a thread that takes place in one of Swynlake’s businesses with a mun that you don’t currently have a thread with.

Wait, Weren’t We Here For Shoes? || Isalius

@mrrcbinson

Isabel was making a quick stop to Zapatos Rivera to buy herself some sneakers. It was a bit of a before her birthday splurge gift to herself, since her birthday was right around the corner and she did love a brand new pair of sneakers, so why not?

And what better place to find shoes then Zapatos Rivera?!

Of course, it was her day off. She wouldn’t do personal shopping on the clock. She really liked Ms. Imelda and would never disrespect her in that manner. Plus, she also loved the job, so she wasn’t about to do something that could get her reprimanded. 

The brunette stepped into the shop, waving an enthusiastic hi to Clara before heading in the direction she needed to go. It was while looking at her options that she accidentally bumped right into someone, the journal she had been carrying in her arms dropping and flipping open.

The page that was now showing was her blueprint for the drone she had been creating, but before even thinking to grab her journal, she looked up to see that she had bumped right into Cornelius Robinson. Yes, she definitely knew who Cornelius Robinson was!

“Perdon! I am so, so sorry. I wasn’t looking and I obviously should have been. Sorry!” 

Did her journal fall on his feet? She really, really hoped that it didn’t because she already felt so terribly humiliated.

In Dire Need Of A Hospital Visit || Kidnapped Princess

There were so many places that Ollie wanted to be. He wanted to be with the guys, He wanted to be with Rita. He wanted to be with Isa. Even if hospitals were boring and sometimes they shooed him out to get food for himself or visiting hours were over.

Even when Isa was asleep he just curled into a chair and waited. He would rather be here then sitting alone wallowing in his own stress. He just had to stop fidgeting with his split lip so it could actually heal.

Focused on his phone it took until Isa spoke for his attention to jump over to her.

“Hey, not for too long, Thought I’d just scroll twitter see what everyone is saying.”

Isabel was so very happy to see Ollie here, she always loved when he came by because it made the hospital stay better. When Ollie was around it wasn’t just her and the four white walls around her. She could at least have an actual conversation, which truly made a world of a difference when stuck in her own situation.

And she noticed that Ollie came every chance he could get. Really, all the nurses practically knew him by name already and maybe Isa should tell him to stay home more often because who loved being at a hospital? But, she loved him being here with her.

That wasn’t so selfish right? 

Very, very slowly and with a bit difficulty since she really only had one working arm, Isa managed to get her body to sit up. She had grimaced once or twice because everything still felt so terribly sore, but she also knew that keeping still all the time would not help her healing process. 

“Anything interesting? I know nothing of what’s going on with the outside world right now.”

I Need Some Sister Cuddles || Hermanitas

@displacedprincess

Isabel was very slowly waking up from a  drug induced stupor. She was still pretty fresh after surgery, so most of her body felt very sore. As for pain, that was slightly numbed down at the moment thanks to the beautiful pain medication Minnie had given the brunette. 

She knew what had happened to her, both Zira and Minnie had informed her of everything and all that had needed to be done. 

Apparently, she had to undergo a surgery and her spleen had been removed in the process. She had several fractured rib bones and one of her arms was broken as well giving her a nice cast and sling. She had several blood transfusions already and they had done some stitches to the back of her head. She was already warned that her injuries won her a couple of days stay in the hospital. 

Most of the information had sunken in here and there, but the brunette was still slowly processing everything fully.

Right now, however, she wasn’t because as she awoke there was Elena right beside her. Minnie forgot to mention that the hospital had contacted her sister and while Isa was so incredibly happy to see her, she also never wanted her sister to see her like this. On top of the sling, her face was pretty bruised up and her lip was swollen and busted. She knew she looked awful... but she tried to place a smile on her lips anyways.

“I’m... not as bad as I look...”

In Dire Need of a Hospital Visit || Kidnapped Princess

@oliversaluki

You know, Isabel now fully understood why some people felt like they were going crazy staying in a hospital. You were stuck in a room with four plain white walls, generic sad hospital food and a tv where the remote control barely worked for it half the time. 

She could go crazy here. 

Don’t get her wrong though, Isa was immensely grateful to be on the mend and breathing after the beating she had gotten but she didn’t even have a book. Of course, it would have been a bit of a struggle to read with one of her arms in a sling, and a couple of fractured ribs but she would’ve figured it out if it meant she could at least read. 

Her brain was going to die here. 

It wasn’t reading and with the pain meds it was either loopy or sleeping depending on which one she was given. It was barely thinking and when it did think it was to replay the events that had brought her to this hospital bed. She felt like she was stuck in an eternal lose-lose situation. Thankfully, her most recent pain medications had drowsed her down into a nap of which she was waking up from now. 

It was after blinking away her grogginess did Isa notice Ollie now in the room with her, a bright smile taking over her features. 

“How long have you been here?”

[littleprincesa-isabel]

BDRP Wrimo Task #28:

Your character’s closet. Give 15 pieces of clothing with a little description of the “history” of the apparel. Is it a favorite shirt, did they get it traveling, is it their lucky pair of underwear etc etc.

So Isabel as a very casual, street/urban wear style to her. We really aren’t sure how that formed, but some of it definitely has to do with the fact that it is probably one of the last styles anyone would think a princess would flaunt about. 

But Isa doesn’t really care.

She is a huge fan of crap tops, more specifically sweatshirt crop tops. She loves to wear them with high waisted jeans or even high wasted shirts, any type of high waisted bottom since she doesn’t really like showing off her stomach if she doesn’t have to. Hence all the high wasted bottoms and even the high waisted skirt ( seventh one on the top). Her favorite crop top is the black Champion one (the bottom fifth one). It is SUPER comfortable and always leaves her feeling warm and toasty. 

Isa loves sneakers!!! It’s her favorite type of shows even though she can wear heels like anybody’s business (she’s a princess after all she was trained since young). She would buy a new pair of sneakers for every place she has lived in, since she started traveling a lot after she had to escape Avalor. The bottom green sneakers (third one) she bought in Swynlake.

When Isa wears heels she prefers boots. They’re for some odd reason more comfortable for her but she really like when they are open toed hence the black thigh high boots on the top (sixth ones). Those she got at Zapatos, aye!!! 

Isa is not oppose to dresses, she’s actually a summer dress type of gal because she finds them to be the best thing to wear under the heat. The top flower-y dress (second one) was a birthday gift from Elena, and Isa loves wearing that one the most. 

As far as jeans are concerned, the more ripped the better! Even in the Winter, Isa will stick with her ripped jeans thank you very much. The white pair of jeans (the fourth one on the bottom) Isa made those rips herself. She taught herself on youtube and now does it very often with almost all of her jeans. Did them to all the pair of jeans shown above.

“You don’t have to go together, I think it could see benefit with just you. Reets and I went together in the beginning but every once inawhile I’ll just book an appointment. Usually after whatever dream Swynlake has created for us.” Ollie had learned to stop trying to fix that on his own.

It was like when he played among us and things hit harder than it should have because it was a game. It was something Ollie had to take a second and step back from and usually end up with cuddles from Dodger because they played together often enough.

“That’s chill. I dunno if Eric wants a roommate or anything and I can promise you any time of day you need one of the guys you can just pop over and they will help.”

“Who did you see?” 

Isabel really didn’t know many of therapists here in town, but if Ollie liked the one he went to maybe she could see that person as well. She was going to have to manage her time carefully seeing as she was in Uni full time and also working at Zapatos Rivera, but Isa could make it work, especially for something that was important as this was. 

Then she could tell Elena that she was going and maybe that would motivate her to go with her. 

“Really? They really wouldn’t mind?” 

Of course, Isa had met Ollie’s family and they knew her, but she never wanted to intrude. She knew them through proximation as being Ollie’s girlfriend, so she never wanted to over extend her presence.

vanecessary-conditions​:

Vanessa Does Spells for Cheap || Open

“I am so sorry!” Vanessa immediately started to clamber, trying to think if she had enough money in her savings account to pay Isabel back – maybe she’d have to ask Charlene, but she could make it work, probably, if she just didn’t eat lunch for a few days –

But Isabel looked… surprisingly calm at all of this. Vanessa, still on edge, still shocked, froze for a moment, evaluating the girl’s reagents. There wasn’t anything that seemed off. In fact, Isabel seemed very calm and not disturbed at all.

Vanessa blinked, processing what Isabel had just said. So she wasn’t upset. And she still wanted to experiment with Vanessa – well, you know, sign Vanessa up for this right now. 

“Yeah, totally! I can help you build it up too, since … well, I am super sorry about that,” she said again. “But I’d really love to help you work on it! Though, uh, fair warning there may be some more explosions involved in the process. But I think I was onto something with that controller idea? We could meet up, build some drones, do some spells – it’ll be great!”

She shot finger guns at Isabel, brushing some hair out of her eyes.

“Oh no don’t be.” Isabel said, immediately shrugging off Vanessa’s apology. “Do you know how many things I have messed up while trying to make some new idea? This is not new to me.” 

It was all a part of the process. No one invention was ever successfully created at the very first shot. Inventions took time to know all the quirks and then fine tune it all together. If anyone ever said something was perfect on the first shot, Isa would be very suspicious. 

“And I am be completely down with explosions!” 

Isa was not your normal princess girl, she didn’t mind getting down and dirty and experimenting around that lead to explosions. Count her right in for all of it.

“I’ve also had some stuff blow up on me too, so I’m not really new to all of it. Plus, I think that makes it all more fun!” Barring injuries... but hey sometimes those happened on occasion and completely by accident. Again, it was simply all part of the process. 

No pain no gain, right?

”Are you going to be going to Pride U? I’ll be dorming this year, so if you are we can definitely meet up right on campus!”

i-want-candy​:

Psych 101 || Candisa

A project instead of an exam for midterms?! Was this professor crazy? Did they want everyone to fail? That was what was going to happen by giving not only projects, but group projects. Now Candace was going to have to do twice the work of studying for a normal exam. 

She was already groaning internally, not even paying attention to who her partner was as their names were called. Candace could already see it playing out in her head: she’d get their email from the class website, never get an email back, and then wind up doing the entire project by herself. It had happened a million times in high school. She was okay with it, then, because she could protect her secret of very much being a nerd. 

So, imagine her surprise when her partner stopped her in the hallway.

And her partner wasn’t just any partner. She was a princess. Of course, Candace had heard about this through the grapevine and then done a little snooping, but nope, Isabel Flores was a princess.

Which, on one hand, was awesome. (Hello? A real life princess? Every girl’s dream. Even if she was most likely royally straight and probably had to continue the family line or whatever.) On the other hand: her partner was a princess. She was probably here to give Candace some royal decree that Candace would be doing all the work and if she tattled on her, Isabel would have her arrested or…something along those lines. 

Candace tried her best to turn her grimace into a smile. “I know,” she said, both to the professor assigning them together (though, she hadn’t known that) and to knowing who Isa was, because, uh, duh. 

Shouldn’t she be calling her…your majesty or something? 

“I’m Candace, but I–guess you already know that.” She shook the princess’ hand and then shifted her bag on her shoulder. “Don’t worry, I already have a million ideas, so I’ve got us covered.” 

Wow, a partner who was offering ideas?! Who already had ideas?! This was heading to a great start already. Isabel figured that she would probably just end up taking a great majority of the project by herself, but maybe that wouldn’t the case this time around.

Although, to be honest, half of the time she didn’t mind doing most of the work because at least she will know that the work would get done if she did it. 

But, Isa was trying to keep a positive light about this all. 

She was trying to have a positive light about the rest of this uni year since she already had a god awful roommate. 

“I would love to hear some of your ideas! I have some too.” It was automatic for her brain to immediately storm up some options, it was simply how the brunette’s brain worked. “I normally end up with partners that never really know what they are doing and then I just offer to do it all because at least I know that way it gets done, but this is a great change.” 

Isa complimented, smiling. Truth be told, she has never seen Candace before in town, so she assumed that she must be new to Swynlake. Once you lived here for a couple of years, one got to know most if not all the faces in town and when a new one popped around it was very easy to spot. 

“I don’t know if you have a class right now or if you’re super busy at the moment, but if you aren’t maybe we can grab a smoothie at Chippamunka’s to bounce off thoughts and ideas?” 

[littleprincesa-isabel]

“I always suggest talking to someone professional about it. It feels less terrible when someone knows and has seen lots of people go through this.” Ollie could help and try to say all the right words but that didn’t mean he had the tools to really help her. He could just try to be there for her when she needed him.

“I’m not bluffing even a little bit. The benefit of having rich grandparents who are making up for a lot of missed time.” Ollie grinned, and he didn’t even feel bad taking the charity. His grandparents were fine people and this money let him take care of his family so he had no problem with it. “I’m very sure. Do you wanna just ditch this? We can go see if the apartment is available to rent? or you know we could ask Eric if he wants a roommate? He’s in Benbow too? the floor below the guys.”

“I wouldn’t mind doing that, talking to a professional, but I don’t know if my sister will. Would it benefit me if I just went alone?”

Of course, Isa could always ask her sister to join and she wasn’t above doing so, but with two newborns to attend to she was sure she wouldn’t get the answer she wanted.  The brunette sighed now listening to Ollie’s answer as she tucked her chin against his chest gently, so that her eyes could remain focused on him.

“I know you aren’t so that leaves me with very little options doesn’t it?” It was a rhetorical question of course that was followed by an arch of her brow and a bit of a face. The face however didn’t last long at all as Isa got on her toes to give her boyfriend a soft peck on the lips.

“Thank you.” 

Even though she may be against Ollie spending his money on her in this way, she knew it all came from a good place, only thinking of her. It made the inside of her chest feel all warm and loved. 

“And well, yeah why not?! And I think I’d prefer the flat next to the guys over Eric. Nothing on Eric he’s great too! But I don’t how he would feel having his best friend’s girlfriend as his roommate.” 

[littleprincesa-isabel]

ashleigh-inyourdreams​:

Unlikely Roommates || Isaleigh

Isa actually pushed back. Barely. Just a smidge. Could she even count it? 

Ashleigh would, out of the good of her heart, and also because she knew how to play this game smarter than Isa. It was important to give Isa an illusion of some control. She would simply sabotage this ridiculous closet idea in a different way– probably use the university itself. After all, adding an extra bar would involve some construction, hmm? And wasn’t that maybe breaking a few of Pride U’s policies? 

She’d find something.

“Oh, that’s a great idea! Yes, totally! I can even get my father to help us put it in,” said Ashleigh super sweetly. “Y’know, I just have such a great feeling about this roommate thing. Don’t you think we’re just gonna get along so well?” 

.

Perfect, Isabel will have her pole then! Even if she doesn’t add clothing to it, she will still make sure that pole gets placed just so that it could be a stick in the mud in the closet Ashleigh had already taken over. Of course, she couldn’t very well drill a pole in place... that would be defacing property, but she could use a tension rod. 

And she’ll even get Mateo to come by to add a spell if need be to make sure the tension rod remains sturdy until she needed to bring it down at the end of the year. 

It was a tiny victory, but Isa will take it.

“That would be very nice, if he isn’t too busy. I wouldn’t want to add to his day if he is. I can always have Mateo come by a little later to help me. He’s like my older brother.” Also her sister’s boyfriend and the father of the new twins, but Isa wasn’t in the mood to add in those parts. 

And now Isa simply smiled and nodded her head. Did she think they would get along well? Probably not, and maybe so if only because the brunette planned in being in this room as little as humanly possible. She’d be less miserable that way.

“Oh, I do too. I think we’re going to have a great year.”
