the girl’s already skittish , ready to flee in a moment’s notice back into the forest if the situation worsened . she didn’t do well with confrontation , especially not know . when villains could be lurking anywhere and looking like who knew what .
– & It was ether ignorant or foolish to insinuate that a G O D would be impotent to gather who stood before them when matched with outlandish power. Perhaps if she was a being that was more narcissistic akin to her comrades, she would have found offence in his statement. Instead there’s a glint catching in azure, head canting to the side as if inspecting the other. “I can certainly name a few that come to mind.”
“ really ? how fascinating . ”
he manages a pleasant smile , chuckling softly before extending his hand out to the woman . eyes glimmering in anticipation of being able to feel the power for himself should she take it .
“ i suppose jörmungandr would be one of those names then , wouldn’t it ? being trapped under the world and all . ”
“wow, wow, hey, it’s okay. it’s really me,” the former king stated, trying to calm them down. it was the first time he was being let out of the castle with the new queen’s permission. there was no doubt that someone was following him or using magic to keep any eye him since uma had informed him they would always know what he was up to even if he left the castle. it was a weird feeling to know he was always being watched but he had felt that way before since auradon was always looking to their king.
“ you’re okay , you’re okay ! ”
she exclaims , hands trembling as they glide over him . squeezing his cheek and brushing off his shoulders . finding out for herself that he was real , that he wasn’t just some vision haunting her like the rest . her brother was alive . which meant . . .
“ what happened ? they told me .. they told me you were dead . ”
– ♔ A near cackle leaves her as raven bounces, feet bouncing after the former royal; piqued interest and amusement gathering. If she had known it was that EASY to get under the skin of a royal family, she would have tried much earlier. “Yer tha daughter of Beast, innet ye?” Lips dare to twitch into a smirk, eyes catching the others. “Turnin’ ‘gainst yer own family, sounds a bit VILLAINOUS, don’t et?” Loud tsking escapes only to melt into laughter, “Ah think ah like ye.”
“ i am beauty , yes . ”
she admits , face neutral even with the boisterous sounds from the witch-girl . they could probably smell fear and unease , like sharks smelled blood in the water . well they wouldn’t get that from her . she would sooner die than admit to being scared .
“ i rather disagree . ambition and self-serving are hardly villainous traits in auradon . how do you think these kings became kings ? it wasn’t because they asked nicely .. ”
– & Eyebrows furrow tightly as she studies the eldest Hook, uncertain in the others behaviour. “Are you — alright?” A valid question considering how quickly Harriet’s change happens, but then again Uma knows better than to question sudden changes in a Hook’s nature. From first counter experience, mind you. “It’s been like a half hour, Harriet. Maybe a little longer, I don’t really know.”
“ just fine now that you’re on the throne , and the real pillaging can begin . ”
her smile blossoms quickly , all sharp teeth and feral at the thought of the chaos she could bring to auradon . take what she wanted , slaughter those that stood in her way . it was going to be wonderful . grin turning apologetic , her attention returns to uma .
“ wow . i really zoned out there .. alright then , start over from the top . what were you saying ? ”
– & This is EXACTLY why Uma doesn’t find herself holding company with Harriet very often. Not that she doesn’t enjoy the others company, mind you — but she’s got less of an attention span than Harry does, and that is saying something. “Fine — ” Grunt is offered as she rears back into her seat, sigh leaving slow; obviously annoyed. “What would you rather discuss, Harriet?”
“ hmm ? uma ? when did you get here ? where’d harry go ? ”
eyes widen a fraction ; the only slip of surprise she allows herself as she glances around for her brother . the last thing she remembered was him talking a mile a minute about some new weapon he’d had made for himself that could slice to the bone .
“ sorry . harry was droning on about some new thing he discovered and i just .. how long have you been there ? how long have i been standing here ? ”
– & Why is it that when something destructive happened it was always the same handful of culprits? Ah, right – because it was second nature. Her husband of course, included in such blanket statements. “I don’t imagine that he is’ no. Although that wasn’t his doing, now was it?”
“ i would think that after a thousand years or so , he’d be used to by now . ”
there’s a flicker of amusement as he grants a wry smile , never reaching his eyes as his glance turns to the deity . sensing the power radiating from her and suppressing his own . no sense in being caught out so early .
“ wasn’t it ? i can hardly imagine anyone else capable of such shocks from under the ground . ”
“ i don’t think i quite
like what it is you’re
implying of me . . . ”
she admits , hooded eyes scouring the face before
her as she attempts some semblance of innocence .
betraying her family , accepting the hand uma extended
could be construed as treason . but she had to survive .
she had to choose herself . auradon didn’t need her .
( ELIZABETH OLSEN, 21, SHE/HER )┊ seems like HARRIET HOOK has left the isle to come over to auradon. they are the child of CAPTAIN HOOK and have TWO SIBLINGS. i’ve heard they’re known to be INDEPENDENT + IMPATIENT. rumor has it they HAVE NOT teamed up with the other villains. maybe we should keep an eye on this one. ( artemis/21/she/her/cst )
about
harriet really does not give a shit . about anything that isn’t her ship , her crew , or her family . if you fall into one of the two later categories , she will raise hell on earth to defend you .
her mother is unknown , but if her father’s to be believed ; it was some sort of sea witch .
her ship is called the temptress and it’s her most valuable possession . she lives on it , and spends most of her free time making sure it’s in tip-top shape . surefire way to piss her off ? do something to her ship . and then run because she will kill you if she catches you .
she’s bisexual , but she’s not really interested in anything more than a hookup .
she’s the more stable on of her siblings . where as cj prefers flashy entrances , and harry’s off being his adorable little psycho-self , harriet prefers to watch from the wings . pulling the strings and waiting for the perfect moment to strike .
she’s very close with her father . and unlike some people assume , he never seemed to have a problem with her being a girl . he never treated her any different , and raised her to be a good captain and a fierce pirate .
there’s none better than her in swordplay as she spends at least two hours in the morning practicing . she’s also ambidextrous , and can fight with both hands at the same time .
she has a prosthetic leg from an incident with tiktok when she was eleven . it starts just under her knee and since coming to auradon , she’s gotten an enchanted one to move just like hers used to .
she prefers wearing leather ; and dresses for practicality and function over fashion . there’s always at least seven weapons on her . she occasionally wears skirts but she doesn’t like showing off her legs since the incident .
desired connections
tba
but give her squeaky and squrimy smee . they’re babies .
“ excuse you , but what was
the point of everything you
just said ? i wasn’t listening . ”
she admits , head tilting as she tried to recall even
a single word the other person had said . yet only
hearing a buzzing static from their mouth . yeah ,
that would not be happening anytime soon . whoops .
“ or can we just skip ahead
to the important parts so i
don’t fall asleep again ? ”
he flicked off some broken pieces of concrete and dust
off his shoulders before looking around . wanting to see
just who else had been around for that minor explosion .
that he definitely was not responsible for causing .
“ i suppose hades isn’t happy
about spring arriving , eh ? ”
( DANIEL GILLIES, UNKNOWN, HE/HIM )┊ seems like HORNED KING has left the isle to come over to auradon. they are the parent of TWO CHILDREN. i’ve heard they’re known to be HARD-WORKING + RUTHLESS. rumor has it they HAVE NOT teamed up with the other villains. maybe we should keep an eye on this one. ( artemis/21/she/her/cst )
about
sad to say it , but unfortunately for y’all , this ain’t actually the horned king . he’s something much worse . when the heroes attempted to resurrect the horned king , they accidentally resurrected something much darker and older .
his true name is arawn , and he’s spent the last few decades pretending to be the horned king to keep his return quiet until he gathers his full strength .
his real face is quite terrible to behold and is known to drive men mad so his appearance is a glamour .
he doesn’t really have a name , but he accepts your highness and your majesty as alternatives .
he has already reclaimed his famed skull mask from the museum and keeps it front and center in his home . he will not hesitate to string and up and publicly slaughter anyone who tries to steal it .
have you heard him talk ? there’s a slight british accent and yes , he speaks only in quiet tones so you have to strain to hear him . it’s a slight power trip .
the whole plan was for him to take over taran’s body and honestly ? that’s still sort of the goal . but he’s willing to settle for maybe one of taran’s kids .
you ain’t gonna catch him sleeping . he may be a former creepy blob thing but he has impeccable taste . spot him in sleekest suits . after all , you’re never fully dressed without a nice tie and button-down .
he can play the piano and occasionally sings .
asexual . he’ll flirt and maybe form a romantic connection with someone but he has no interest in sex .
it takes all of the god’s patience not to roll his eyes olympus ward. hand wrapped around a glass, he kept his gaze on the swarm of people around. not the most entertaining thing, but something to keep his annoyance down. he’d grown over the many, many years after his initial failure, able to keep a better hold on his temper. such things before would have had hades erupting, but he liked to think he had a better grasp on such things these days. “or my siblings decided to be the ones to help lock me up. one god against many certainly isn’t a fair fight, especially not when they were all so determined to put the evil onto the isle. and for future reference, this isn’t my actual form. merely what i choose to be seen as.”
“ making excuses ? i’d expect that
from a second-rate villain , like hook
or medusa . not someone like you .. ”
a turn of her head , hungry eyes devouring every bit
of him exposed to her . daddy may have never taught
her love , but he did make sure she knew to case each
and every being she came across . god or not , he was
no different . just a bit more of a challenge , and if that
didn’t leave her wanting more ...
“ so you choose to seen as a posh
stringbean ? i mean , i’m not trying
to tell you how to do your job , but ━ ”
oh , he was good . by choosing the form he did , he could
easily be seen as unassuming . harmless , really , in
comparison the hulking beings the other gods were . no one
would suspect the little man . it was almost admirable . almost .
“oh, darling, ain’t a person out there tae much fer me. maybe if ye ask nicely i can spend a few more minutes.” two could play the teasing game. even if harry was ultimately the one to submit at every turn, he could give just as much as anyone. though it became increasingly difficult when she started doing that. groaning softly, harry gave a nod, hips slowly swaying. “ye know i do,” he murmured, head lower. lips trailed lightly along bare skin, faint kisses pressed.
“ tsk , and here i thought you knew
better than to think that i would ask
anyone anything nicely . i take what
i want . take advantage of that while
it’s still you and not your sister . ”
her head falls back on his shoulder , lips parting to let
out an overly breathy gasp to play at his ego . hands
guide his up , up , up her body before they’re just shy
of where she wants them . he would have to work to
earn that special privilege .
“ then why don’t we go ahead and
find somewhere you don’t have to
be quiet ? unless you’d rather do it
right here in front of the king and
everyone else in auradon .. ”
tempting – she knew exactly what she was doing right now, and harry could only appreciate that fact. so few people could match him in this department, even fewer that could even stand up in his eyes whenever it came to this sort of thing. lilith just so happened to one of those very few people. gaze roamed over her, silently watching the movements. really, how was harry supposed to just ignore such a delightful offer. grinning, he slowly began to approach, hands moving to grasp at her waist. “guess ye know me a lil’ tae well. guess i could spare a few minutes when yer looking this damn good.”
“ only a few ? shame , i thought
you would last longer ... or am
i just too much for you to handle ? ”
she can’t help but tease , digits skittering over his
chest as her head dips up and she takes the chance
to lick a trail along the curve of his jaw up to his ear .
nipping at his earlobe before she’s turning around and
holding on tight to his hands ; body pressing up to his .
“ come on , harry ... don’t you
enjoy this ? i know i do . ”
