Closed Starter: Questionable Snow
He was on her list after the huge event with Satan’s kid or whatever. It was totally understandable, but the lack of sleep regardless of reason is always a problem. Quinn wasn’t sure if she was nitpicking (people who had more than 10 hours of sleep was actually a problem, which she was very sad to talk to them about getting less sleep) or it was an actual concern she was supposed bring up.
“Ethan? That is your name, right?”

Quinn: Well, I don’t like saying « I told you so » but-
James: The hell you don’t, it’s your favorite phrase
Open Starter: Madness Descending

James looks at Quinn when she speaks and looks down hesitantly, sighing softly as tears roll down his cheeks.
“I don’t… want, to do this. I just have felt alone and… and it felt like whenever anyone else in my life felt alone they took off, so I guess I just figured I… but that doesn’t excuse what’s going on, my role in it… what I was about to do. I’m so sorry, Quinn.”
“James.” She murmured. “It’s okay. I don’t judge you at all. It’s your choice if you don’t want to be here, and I know that feeling of hurt.” Quinn laughed softly, nodding. “You just saw me go through it.”
“I know other people will be here for you as well. One person’s journey might have you in one chapter, but others will have you throughout their whole story.”

James hugs her abruptly, letting himself cry, silently, rubbing her back. Unsure. Always unsure.
“I don’t know if it’s a good difference, but it’s a difference. Quinn, you have nothing to be sorry for. Believe me. I’m sorry about all of this… about everything that’s happened.”
He pulls back, smiling at her shakily, trying to look reassuring. “You’re still gonna make a mark, Quinn… I know it. You don’t have to be your dad to accomplish amazing things, you are so good and so wonderful with people.”
Quinn gasped at the hug, trying to comprehend what was going on. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry-” She muttered over and over again, her anger dissipating. Suddenly, she could think clearly, realizing the situation that was at hand. “What. . . What am I doing?”
She pulled back, remembering what just happened. “. . . James, I’m not going to judge for what you’re doing, I just. . . I just hope you know there’s so many people who care about you here too.”

spaceasshxle:
James dodges the first toss even though it doesn’t seem directed, more frustrated, as he turns back to her, surprised as he listens, just confused and shocked and–
“Quinn, that’s not true, okay?” Screw ignoring his morals. “Hey, c’mon, I know you’re not okay and I know why but I think there’s something of you in there that’ll still hear this and I need you to listen, okay?”
He walks over, fuck it if she knocks him out, he has to take that chance… because she is someone he’d consider a friend if he’d spent more time with her. Setting his hands on her shoulders, he continues, “Quinn, you are such an amazing person, and a good friend to the people you spend that time with. You care so much and it’s amazing, it always has been amazing to see how much you clearly care about others and their health, and you worry about your dad’s stress and I think it’s so genuine and so wonderful that you do. You are doing your best, your absolute best, and that is more than enough, okay?”
There are tears in his eyes. “I tried. I gave everything here my all, I was even working on getting a handle on my sleep schedule, but… I’m just this big screwup, Quinn, I always have been. I can’t get things right, and I hurt everyone I have ever cared about. And then they leave. They always leave, because I’m not enough, I’m never enough help for them. So I’m flipping that narrative. I have one last stupid thing to do here, and then… I’m gone. So I can stop wrecking things, and stop failing the people I care about… stop letting them down when they need me to be there and I’m not because I don’t realize they need me. You’re an amazing person, amazing friend, amazing daughter… I’m the screwup, I have never in my life been the good person, friend, or son. I have to do this, so that I stop weighing down the people I do still care about.”
James looks her in the eyes, holding back his tears as best as he can.
Quinn stood there as she took in his words, trying her hardest not to cry. “No one. . . really has been my friend. No one wants to be friends with the girl obsessed with sleep. I’m not even a guardian. I’m just a girl who’s going to die doing absolutely nothing with her dad still being the guardian of dreams.”
As tears started to prick her eyes, she tried to hold on to the anger that she felt, to keep on moving onward with her mission. . . but she couldn’t. “At least you’re making a difference right now, right. . ?” She said softly, her voice trembling. The fight in her was gone. “I’m sorry James.”

spaceasshxle:
“You know what?!” James practically growls. “I have enough of this. Get the fuck out of my way, Quinn. Once I finish what I have to do in Wonderland, I’m leaving the planet. I’m heading back to Montressor, where I can be out of you and your dad’s hair FOR GOOD! Okay?! I will be long gone and you can keep your attention on this place that LONG AGO became my personal hell!”
He doesn’t even give it a second thought as he moves on, shoving her out of the way as he goes. Part of James regrets it immediately, but he can’t. He absolutely cannot take the time to focus on his insecurities at the situation, though he does glance back. “Find some other insomniac on this planet, you’ll forget about me like everyone else in no time at all.”
“No, shut the fuck up!” She yelled, grunting after James’ shove. “You’re so goddamn selfish just thinking nobody else doesn’t care about you. Literally you have friends surrounding you, and I. . . I have nothing!” Quinn lashed out, throwing a handful of dreamsand, her fists tightening.
“I don’t care what you have to do in god knows whatever, you’re going to sleep wherever you want, but I’m going to make sure you sleep for good.” Anger filled her head, just thinking the amount of problems she faced at this school. Gwen, Joy, Hope. . . they didn’t have to deal with people like these. Refusing to sleep, even though she granted a harmless way. James was just one of the bigger figures that she knew in Auradon.

James sighs. It’s almost over. Finish this up, go home, and never come back to this stupid planet again.
First, Wonderland.
In some ways he does feel bad. He and Cora were… acquaintances, he guesses? Maybe if they’d spent more time they’d have been good friends, but that had never happened.
Well, oh well, no turning back now. James sighs, heading for where he does happen to know there’s a rabbit hole.
Sleep. Sleep everything. Quinn just wanted everything to sleep in eternal bliss. No one would have problems. The dreamsand would tell everything. This was for the best. And she knew exactly who to start with.
The moment she saw him heading in a direction, she stood in James’ path, handful of dreamsand gripped tightly. “You’ve been a pain in my ass and my father’s ass, and I’m sure the world would be better if you could just take a goddamn nap.”
Ice Skating
@sandtodreams
Joy smiles as she looks around her. This place, it was so hot here and she was thinking of cooling it down a bit. She smirked, standing near the enchanted lake, and kneeled down, pressing her hand to the water and concentrating. The water began to freeze and Joy watched in complete satisfaction at her work.
She loved doing things like this, freezing lakes, building snowmen. It was her own winder wonderland and she loved it.
Giggling, she stepped out onto the ice, testing it, before she went sliding around the lake. She was having fun, sliding around the ice, when she heard someone approach.
“Oh! Hello!” She grinned, seeing the familiar face.
“Ah, Joy!” Quinn smiled from afar, lightly stepping on the ice before slipping wildly back onto firm ground. “I guess I’ll be talking you from here. What are you doing?” It was a while since she could wander around Auradon Prep for fun; there were plenty of students who refused to sleep, and it was her duty to make sure everyone slept soundly, but Quinn decided she should take a break.
“Make sure you melt the ice before Fairy Godmother finds out, she’ll lose her head over this.”
Gwen: * is sleeping *
Quinn: Awww
Gwen: * gasps softly in her sleep *
Quinn:
Hope: Hey, guys, I'm home - Quinn, why are you crying?
Open Starter: Trying
To be completely honest, Altair has no idea how the heck he lost his pen, but he was determined to find it.
Of course, you know, he can reality warp the pen back to him, but the original pen was close to him. It’s just as precious to him as his collection of tiny cool-looking rocks.
Altair was too busy looking down a hallway when he bumped into someone. He stumbled back a bit before looking at whoever he bumped into.
“Oh, sorry, didn’t see ya there.”
Quinn scoffed, shaking her head. “It’s alright, people have done worse.” Smiling, she saw his worried and placed her hand on his shoulder. “Whoa, you should probably slow down if you’re bumping into people. What’s up?”
Quinn! I've been looking for you everywhere!! (Hope)
Oh my god, I can’t believe I didn’t know you’re here! Hope, how are you?! I’m so sorry, shit, I didn’t know at all.
@northernstarofhope
Its fine, I just got here, hey! Its so good to see you? I’m doing pretty good, the holidays were very very busy. How’re you?
I’m doing pretty well, thanks -- I can’t say the same for the kids here. It’s like all of them refuse to sleep. I don’t know how you guys manage on a singular day, me and my dad have it easy compared to you guys. Gah, I’ve missed you so much Hope, it’s like you, Gwen, Theo, and me are the only ones capable of self-care.
Open Starter: Storm Warning
Sabrine lightly scoffs at the decor as she walks into the dance. She doesn’t know what she expected, she supposes, of a party hosted by an AK in Auradon, but wickedness knows she could’ve done better. Honestly.
Shaking her head, she continues on inside, looking for at least something to keep her mind immediately occupied so she doesn’t just walk out again.
Quinn was in her yellow dress, swirling around the punch she had in her cup. She wasn’t one for dances and all that, but since the majority of the students were staying up, she had to make sure everyone went to sleep after the event was over.
Groaning as some couple kept on slow dancing, she chugged the rest of the punch and walked over nearby to a girl. “Asinine dances just don’t make sense for me. Have fun and all that, but what the hell is this?”
Quinn! I've been looking for you everywhere!! (Hope)
Oh my god, I can’t believe I didn’t know you’re here! Hope, how are you?! I’m so sorry, shit, I didn’t know at all.
@northernstarofhope
Are you happy?
"Of course! The ball is a success. My boyfriend and I aren't fighting anymore. It's perfect."
Except, I haven't slept in days. All my time is spent working on trying to fix Tayen and Celena, trying to make this event perfect, trying to be the perfect student, friend, girlfriend. I'm terrified that if I make one wrong move it'll all crumble. If I tell James how hurt I am over everything that happened he'll never forgive me. I'm not even sure I'll ever forgive him. He left me for months with a manipulative psychopath and is mad at me for leaving him. He's mad at me for running away. I ran away because I was scared, and vulnerable, and I couldn't do it anymore. And not once since I've been back has he, or anyone, actually asked me if I'm okay. I went through some deep psychological torture and then almost died in the woods for months. No. No I'm not okay. And I'm sure as hell not happy either.
. . . Now I'm not one to talk, but since you're not getting enough sleep I doubt it's not in my jurisdiction to make sure you're okay.
Jesus christ, that sounds like a lot on your hands. I know James is a handful, but it sounds like there's other handfuls that you're taking care of. I'm sorry to hear all of that. But if you want to know, I'm here for you.
"Time for a check up! Open wide." - Gwen
“Oh, wow, Gwen, I didn’t know you were here.” Quinn chuckled nervously. Crap. She forgot to focus on her teeth since she got to Auradon – Gwen was usually the person who reminded herself to take good care of her oral hygiene, and probably now, it was a mess. “I mean, you probably just got here. You don’t have to do it so soon.”

Closed Starter: Functioning Normally
Okay, so running around campus yelling at people to go asleep caused Fairy Godmother to talk Quinn’s ear off. Fine. It didn’t matter to her. It didn’t matter that people weren’t actually falling asleep and constantly evading hers’ and her father’s work. Fine. Don’t have dreams! Just have no protection against nightmares. Sure. Okay.
While she was thinking during this time, she bumped into a girl, immediately stopping her train of thought. “Oops. I am super sorry, that’s my mistake.”
