[★] – @reginainvicta​

𝓐fter what felt like a literal eternity of lounging about the bunker, it was safe to say that Star was absolutely bored out of her mind. Since both she and her wand had absolutely no magical properties, she had resorted to laying on her mattress and throwing the wand in the air and attempting to catch it in different awesome poses. After it fell on her face for maybe the thousandth time, the girl sat up with a disgruntled sigh. She took a quick glance around her desolate room before deciding to make her way to the living space. It was absolutely deserted, not to mention there was an absence of any good food. With her hand on a cabinet knob, the princess threw her head back with a groan before slamming the door shut. With nothing else to do, Star decided she would perhaps explore Eidolon– maybe the corner store that was nearby.

Cautiously, Star pushed the door open, causing the bell above the frame to give off a little jingle. The princess froze momentarily, gazing at the bell before opening and closing the door maybe three more times, earning a goofy chuckle, much to the chagrin of the owner. After locking eyes with the man, Star awkwardly let the handle go before scoping out the goods. The store was very similar to an Earth convenience store– aisles upon aisles in perfect little rows, the ends decorated with eye-catching candies and salty snacks.

Almost unconsciously, the young princess meandered down the first aisle that caught her eye; seasonal treats and breakfast foods. Eyes darted between foods before the princess came to an immediate halt, fixated on a single item. Mewni had been known for its abundance of special corn, but Earth food had a special place in Star’s heart… Especially… Captain Blanche’s Sugar Seeds. And here, right in front of her, in this weird frozen planet, there they were. Not just one box, but what looked like MAYBE a thousand. Okay, not really, but it sure felt that way.

Without a second thought, Star took a hold of as many she could possibly grab; they were under her arms, in her mouth, on her head, in her shirt, literally anywhere a box could fit. Meanwhile, she was making one heck of a mess with cereal boxes flying everywhere. If you didn’t know better, you would think she was using her magic, but no, she was just crazy.

Star didn’t even notice the woman come around the corner to catch a look at the commotion. When the princess finally caught a look at the queen in her peripheral vision, she froze, like a deer in the headlights, absolutely covered in cereal. This lady was giving off some serious mom vibes…

❝ …mmphmfmh? ❞

Whatever Regina had been expecting to see when she turned the corner, it was not a girl covered in cereal looking at her with more than a little bit of terror. She sighed and rolled her eyes, taking in the mess. Honestly, she was surprised the girl was still in the store and hadn’t already been kicked out, but she supposed that with the influx of new individuals in the area, herself included, there was to be a bit of lenience. Especially with immature children such as the girl in front of her. Perhaps such an assessment was a bit unfair, but, well, the girl most certainly wasn’t an adult, and she was fairly certain Henry had more maturity when he was eight than this girl was exhibiting. 

“Quite the mess you’ve made” Regina noted, wishing, not for the first time since she had arrived in Eidolon (she wasn’t sure she’d made it a full hour, in all honesty. Sure she had gone without just fine in Storybrooke, but even then she had missed having it, and the technology and possessions she already had were there to compensate) that she still had her magic working reliably, so she could simply wave her hand and this mess would be all cleaned up. Alas, that was not the case which meant that, if she was going to help out, it would be by hand.

“I do hope you have the money to pay for all of that” she mused, knowing full well that she, currently, did not. She was a newcomer, after all. Oh, sure, she could help clean up with some difficulty, her current attire not at all suited to cleaning up cereal off floors, but...Why did she care in the first place? It wasn’t her business. Of course, she already knew the answer to that, didn’t she? Children would forever be her weak spot, it seemed. So, she stayed there, standing, and waiting for a response, idly hoping that whoever the current employees were wouldn’t be too bothersome about the situation. She hardly had her full skillset at her disposal, after all.

dabi knew the feeling all too well- the thought of being stained black, of a ledger drenched red in blood that couldn’t be erased. he knew what is was like to be a villain, cold and cruel, or perhaps a little more human than one would like to admit. maybe that’s why he was drawn to her slightly, edging close though still keeping enough of a distance they he didn’t immediately encroach on her space. he knew what he looked like- covered in burns and pins, a monster to most- and how easily just his appearance would be taken as a threat.

he didn’t mean to stare at regina, not really; but there was something about her that dabi found a little fascinating, like a scientist watching something through a microscope. or maybe he was just kind of hungry and was looking at her lunch.

“Nah,” he says in a low drawl. “You always this rude to strangers?”

The Queen tried not to judge by appearances. Why would she, when it was so easily proven that aesthetically pleasing did nothing to determine how much of a threat a person was? Of course, that didn’t mean that she was somehow miraculously able to not judge the appearances of others. Dabi wasn’t exactly handsome, and she could easily recognize as much. Yet, that would simply be a tool in her arsenal when it became necessary. It was not, currently, necessary. She would react the same way to being watched by anyone. Being watched was a reason to be on guard and start looking back just as carefully, after all.

“No” she replied simply to his question, eyes narrowing slightly. “Just strangers who can’t seem to mind their own business.” She took another bite of food, and looked at him closely, figuring that turnabout was fair play.

@reginainvicta is… no, really, what?

In this frozen wasteland meant to be a refuge, Sasume has found little to none of the sort. Her bunkhouse has few people, yes, but the frigid cold makes it hard to spend hours upon hours outside as she’d wish; not with her sword’s abilities sealed and leaving her with no artificial flames nor stamina boosts.

…Perhaps she’ll wind up freezing to death, sooner or later, when she keeps herself awake too long too far away and collapses where no one will find her in time.

Or just sick, Sasume muses bitterly as she makes her way to the forest. For better and for worse, there are likely residents here used to—

She stops. Looks over. The other, darkly-clad figure doesn’t move, either. But even with the strain of the snow-glare and all of one-working eye, even she can notice what others might miss.

“What, you stuck?” she barks out, more harshly than intended but more exasperated than amused all the same. Sasume makes her way closer to the statue-mimicking woman, gaze flicking about as she crouches in the snow to find where the foliage has unsurprisingly gripped the woman’s overly gothic and even more impractically gaudy dress.

[reginainvicta-blog]

Gaudy gowns from the enchanted forest aren’t made to survive the harsh atmosphere of Eidolon, even less when the wearer is far from physically fit. But, well, it wasn’t like Regina had chosen her wardrobe before arriving, was it? She had only been there for less than a day, after all. Usually, she would merely use her magic to make things more convenient for her, but, well, she didn’t exactly have that option at the moment, did she? Honestly, at least under the curse she had an appropriate wardrobe for the situation.

“I assure you, I have this all under control” she replied to the woman who had caught her in her less than favorable situation of having her cape stuck to a branch. Sure, she could simply rip free, but she wanted to keep everything in good condition. “Move along.” She slowly, carefully, moved to start freeing her tangled clothing, only to suddenly have a large load of snow fall from the branches directly into her face. She grimaced slightly, but said nothing, straightening up and appearing even more haughty, somehow.

Villains don’t get happy endings.

That was what life had taught Regina Mills. And she was most certainly a villain. Though she was without reminders of what she had lost, since arriving in Eidolon, the fact remained that the loss still left a hole inside her heart and ate at her from within. Some sins would always remain, some blood couldn’t be washed from ones hands, and, well...That was just how it was. Or so she told herself.

These were the thoughts on the mind of one Regina Mills as she ate her lunch, trying to do so slowly enough to avoid it being messy, but quickly enough to avoid it getting cold too quickly. She knew it would be easier for her if she simply ate inside, but part of her almost...Enjoyed the chilly atmosphere. There was another person in the nearby area, and she looked at them, narrowing her eyes. “Can I help you?” She asked a bit acerbically.

Should one see Regina as she walked around Pheri’s cornerstore, the first thing they would notice would be how out of place she looked in her current outfit, walking around the shelves in black leather pants, several layers of fabric, and a cape. It was the regalia of the evil queen-which made sense considering she had arrived shortly after returning to her palace. She didn’t mind her current clothing, as it was warm, but it was also impractical for the land she currently resided in. She didn’t yet have any currency, which might have made stopping in this store rather pointless, but she also wanted to get a feel for what was available. If she was supposed to live here, she would figure things out at their fastest rate possible, and, in her experience, seeing what was for sale was a good way to do exactly that.

It was mostly quiet, which she was thankful for, but there seemed to be some sort of noise a few shelves over. She rolled her eyes and, heels clicking on the floor, moved to see what the disturbance was all about.

The world she was in now was unlike any Regina had ever resided in. An endless expanse of white snow and delicate frost. A chill resided in her bones and she was almost thankful for just how many layers made up the gown she had been in when she arrived. The clothing for royalty in the Enchanted Forest may not have been comfortable, but she was, at the very least, warm, as she walked through the wasteland quietly, her almost completely black outfit contrasting against the landscape. 

Oh, she could rage. Rage was something she excelled at, after all. She could do a lot of things in her situation, finding herself here, but there was no point to it. Sure, she had been looking forward to, perhaps, fighting against her apparent half-sister but she wasn’t needed for that battle, not really. This was just a change in worlds, but a change in which, either way, she was without Henry. So she could adjust. (Well, she could pretend to adjust and maybe as time went on it would hurt a little less, right? Wishful thinking perhaps, but it was all she had.) 

She wasn’t alone outside, either. A man with grey hair and startlingly bright eyes was there as well. Part of her wanted to approach him, but the harder part of her wanted to simply keep walking and observing. She decided to compromise with herself, moving in his general direction but making no move to stop and approach him. Still, as if to spite her, the heel of one of her boots seemed to find itself stuck in the snow. She stopped, and starting to carefully unlodge it without risking getting more snow on her clothing that what was already there.

Calling any and all who want to interact with Queen Queen Regina here in Eidolon! Just hit this post with a like and I’ll write something up!

Regina Mills/The Evil Queen from Once Upon a Time

A villain trying for redemption, she makes threats when she’s stressed but isn’t liable to follow through. Mostly. 

Has a soft spot for children a mile wide. 

Really misses her son

Does not trust easily, at all. 

If she tells you she’s the only one whose allowed to kill you, you’ve made it with her.

Really wants to be happy but doesn’t believe she’s allowed a happy ending. 

Would rather die than show any sort of weakness to most people. 

Here because of her belief that there is no reason for her to continue trying seeing as she is separated from her son, presumably forever.

Actually a very good, very protective, momfriend once she’s warmed up to you. Doesn’t really get how to do the whole friendship thing, but she tries.

Needs a hug

Relies on her magical abilities when stressed/anxious/upset

Not happy with her lack of magical abilities here

Can and will hold a grudge for the better part of three decades and self destruct trying to get even.

Self destructive in general, especially now that she’s on the redemption train and has once again gotten in touch with her conscience.

Have I mentioned that she needs a hug?
