Phineas perked up at the offer. "Oh, that would be awesome, Fawn! Great idea," Phineas said. He knew, after all, that Fawn was not exactly the ideal person to talk to about this. She hadn't gone to Swynlake Secondary. But he'd wanted to talk to her anyway. So if she could talk to some of her friends, they could get an even better idea of how to do this. "I can talk to some more people too. Like Nemo, we're tight!"

@strange-sight

"Oh - Nemo would be a great person to talk to. He's way more familiar with the whole Secondary thing." Fawn agreed with a smile. In fact, a lot of times Nemo was her CC (clumsy consultant, that is), given he spent so much time with them. Fawn wished she could have attended secondary, but... There was so much going on at the Hollow, and she would have missed so much work with her talent if she hadn't stayed behind.

She just... hoped Nemo would inform Phineas as lightly as possible if it indeed was just.. not something they needed for Fairies. "Don't worry - I'll round up the troops and get you a better consensus."

Into the Woods || Open

Sid had grown up around a multitude of strange creatures, not just in his own home but the isles also had no shortage of them crawling around. In comparison the furry uniform deer or whatever it was shouldn't have been surprising, but it was fully outside his scope of experience.

And it had a big, pointy horn horn, which could easily translate to big stabby appendage, Sid wasn't really an optimist when it came to the degree of unpleasant any creature could be, so he wasn't enthusiastic about the large - why was it so large - monstrosity.

Yale. Because Yale meant anything at all to him. Wasn't that a college or something? He was pretty sure a mutant unicorn wasn't their mascot.

Scud of course was thrilled that someone had said hello to him and panted with his shark-dog grin, not a thought behind those eyes and his little stubby tail wiggling. Traitor.

"The furry tree unicorn doesn't have a lot of room to talk when it comes to that," he replied, it was not the first time he'd been insulted by a bizarre creature, actually, probably wouldn't be the last.

Or by some random person in a forre- actually, that one was new. Huh.

@strange-sight

#c: Sid #p: Into the Woods

Said furry unicorn tree huffed, the sound resonated deep in its chest as it stepped forward towards this stranger. "...Friend Yale." Fawn warned lightly, eying the creature as it stomped a hoofed foot into the ground, dirt and gravel casting away from the impact.

They weren't exactly... friendly creatures by nature. This particular one was juvenile, and therefore a little less quick to temper, but.. that did not mean that it wouldn't spook or get angry. Or downright territorial.

No matter though, it was fine.

There was another deep grumbling sound, genuinely like something out of a Jurassic Park movie as Friend Yale stood tale, lifting his neck and turning to eye this stranger fully, while also demonstrating the complete size of his horn. (A thing of beauty, really).

"...He's sizing you up." Fawn informed lightly with a small nod of her head, crossing her arms over her chest. "...You might want to stand up straight. Try to look a little bigger than you are. Avoid eye contact." A pause as she looked down at Scud with a little frown. "Or is it maintain eye contact. Honestly - I don't think they ever got around to figuring that one out. Research on these guys seemed to end quite suddenly strangely enough."

Phineas nodded seriously. He really wanted this idea to work. He wanted to do something, since fairies had gotten such a raw deal of it when Eboshi had been here in town. But maybe this... wasn't it?

"Okay, uh, what if the landing pad has extra pixie dust stored in case people need it? Uh, locked up, of course, so no one steals it," Phineas said. "I dunno, if it can benefit other flying Magicks that's great, but I really want this to benefit fairies, you know? It's kind of been a rough year for y'all in Swynlake."

@strange-sight

Fawn wrinkled her nose gently. She didn't think that idea would exactly fly either. Pixie dust was not just to be left around. Even... 'locked up'. She felt bad that Phineas seemed really passionate about making it work though. Her lips pressed together with a little sigh.

"We're always up to something, it's no big deal." She waved off - though, yeah they'd taken a few L's so to speak this year, hadn't they? "What if I talk to other fairies! Some of the ones that went to secondary especially! Maybe I can get more input for you! I'm probably not the leading expert. But - they could be!"

Into the Woods || Open

Sid did not want to be there. That was the first important thing to note, actually, as he wandered down the pathway in Enchantra - right, of course it was Enchantra, fairytale forest was probably too long to slap on the tourist brochures - with absolute suspicion of every crack of branches, snap of twigs, and rustle of leaves. He was not, by choice, an outdoors person. Growing up in the Isles Sid had a healthy appreciation for the weird magical animal shit that came with the territory but this wasn't the place he knew.

The sound behind him that he was very certain was too big to be a squirrel - how big did magical squirrels get - made him turn quickly on a heel towards it while Scud ceased his enthusiastic rolling in the dirt like a gangly hippo and returned to his side.

Person. It was a person. And Sid's expression went from uncertain to a scowl in an instant. "Think you might want to not sneak the-" his perfectly good complaint was ruined by something else parting the brush behind said annoyance and was replaced by surprise - "What the unholy fuck is that?"

#c: Sid #p: Into the Woods

Fawn had not expected to pop back onto the trail with a person staring at her. In fact, she had been quite sure she was going the right way towards the groves - yet in all her haste, it seemed she'd ended up on the paths instead. Better yet, it seemed like this person was about to yell at her before the snapping of twigs interrupted.

Fortunately, Fawn didn't even have to turn around to know exactly who was standing there. Or... what. Since in this case, she'd been leading said creature along with her.

"Jingles, that's quite rude." Fawn huffed, staring down this stranger like they weren't someone who towered over her completely. Though her gaze softened immediately as her attention found the adorable little dog loyally beside him. "Oh-- well hello handsome." She complimented with a bright smile, though it dipped again as her gaze rose back to the stranger.

"This is a Yale." She pointed out, turning to pat her own companion on the snout. One that..... technically was not supposed to be here - and that technically she might've been sneaking back to it's home. Look, how was she supposed to get key interaction research if no one allowed her to run the experiments, huh? She needed a Yale to interact with a Griffon in order to know if there would be massive issues if the two territories kept sliding closer and closer together, right? "And for the record - he said the same thing about you." The creature behind her made a low grumbled call of affirmation, it's tail whipping to the side.

Phineas smiled when Fawn giggled, but he deflated a little bit. He was coming here to get Fawn's honest opinion, obviously, but he'd kind of hoped that she would like the idea.

"Uhh, yeah, that makes sense," Phineas said. "Do you think, like— is there anything that would make it easier for fairies to fly to school? If they wanted to?"

@strange-sight

Fawn felt a little bad - if only because it seemed like Phineas had been excited about this plan! Which, granted - why wouldn't someone be excited about building a giant landing pad on top of a school, she guessed, but she still wasn't sure it was going to benefit who he thought it would.

At least Fairies anyways. They were incredibly graceful. ...okay some of them were incredibly grateful.

"...Not... I mean I think the things might be more internal than anything. Like... Dust, and.. making sure the town isn't putting anymore permits up to get back and forth." She said gently. "...but there might be other winged-magicks it could benefit! Just - we're quite small, you realize." She gestured to herself and all of her not even five foot frame.

@oh-phineas

Stick the Landing | Fawneas

Fawn looked a little surprised. And Phineas understood that! It was a new kind of idea. One that had never been done before. But all the best ideas were like that, right?

Anyway, if she put the brakes on it, Phineas would put the brakes on it too. He wasn't trying to convince her of anything. Just find out if it was a good idea at all.

"On the roof. Like, something waterproof, obviously, but a good material to land on, something that won't kill your knees. And it'll be big and brightly-colored, so you know exactly where to aim for," Phineas explained. "This is why I wanted to ask you about it, though, obviously that's all pretty flexible."

@strange-sight

It was cute, really. Quite endearing too as Phineas explained the proposed idea that he had been talked to about, but... Fawn was still a little confused. Though, she wasn't exactly the baseline for a lot of Fairies, so maybe her perspective was skewed.

Still... Did it seem like they needed a giant, bright colored target to land on at the roof of the school? They certainly weren't flying all clumsy sized! That was a waste of pixie-dust. But even still... "...Well. Uh - I mean I don't know if that's something... Fairies would benefit from, is all. I mean we're not like uh... helicopters." She giggled. "I didn't go to Secondary but.. I don't usually need too much space to go back and forth."

Penny had never planned a party before, so it was only too easy to second-guess herself.

But not only was Fawn smart and kind-- she was cool! She was even popular, as far as Penny could tell. So if Fawn said it was a good idea... it had to be, right?

"Yeah? Then-- let's do it!" Penny said excitedly. "What businesses do you think I should reach out to? I can totally do that if you want to um, help with invitations and-- I mean, if you want," Penny interrupted herself. "Sorry, just realized I was volunteering you."

@strange-sight

#c: Penny #p: Drive me Batty #x; Wild Star

"Oh I love to be volunteered!" Fawn teased - it was true though. Some of her best adventures stemmed from another fairy approaching her saying they needed her for something. It usually meant it was meant for her to do! Or was super fun. Or it just meant the other person wanted her to be included which was nice too!

"As for businesses though uhm... I mean if you want financial support or sponsored support, Ruff to Fluff. Greg wouldn't turn down something that benefits animals. For food... Maybe we could try Lucky Cat! They're a new business with really cute menu and food. Maybe Blue Oven? Pixie's would be more likely to help if we need drinks probably. We could make a bigger list of potentials later but they might be good to start with."

"Soo... you remember Dr. Drakken? From the elections?" Phineas began. "He asked me to help him get this petition passed. Basically, he wants to build a landing pad at Swynlake Secondary for student who fly. Seems like a pretty cool idea to me, that people could fly to school, but I wanted to get input from someone who actually, y'know, flies."

@strange-sight

Fawn nodded slowly, taking in the information; Dr. Drakken, Petition, Landing Pad, Swynlake Secondary, Students who fly, coo----. "Wait, what?" She huffed, turning her gaze back towards Phineas with a raise of her brow. Of all the things she'd been expecting to come from his mouth, that certainly wasn't one of them. A landing pad? Dr. Drakken was interested in making a landing pad for students who flew?

"He wants to make a landing pad? Like--- Do you mean.. did he describe how it's gonna look? Where it's gonna be?"

"Oh my god, there are hazel dormouses here? I've always wanted to meet one!" squealed Penny.

...getting distracted there, girl.

She quickly shook her own head and got back on track. "I mean, wow-- yeah, we could do-- ohhhhh, what if we did a like, Meet Enchantra's Residents theme! And we could have info on a lot of different species and themed food and stuff about each one! So it's like, kind of a potluck, but also an educational fundraiser about those rare species that a lot of people probably wouldn't even know live right next door! Or is that dumb?"

@strange-sight

#c: Penny #p: Drive Me Batty #x; Wild Star

"Yeah! Oh they're so cute! Jingles, I'll have to introduce you to one, they're quite shy, but they'd love you!" Fawn added quickly, not at all deterred by the so called distraction. Fawn could gush over her forest friends all day long.

Though there were more important matters at stake here. "No that's excellent! That sounds so cute! Plus it's a great way to be able to showcase multiple animals that need the help or advocacy!" Fawn nodded with a smile. "I mean - plus, if we had cute themed food, people would definitely come. Everyone in this town comes for food. I'm sure we could even incorporate ethical sourcing and local businesses too."

Phineas had meant what he said to Dr. Drakken: he really did want to talk to Fawn before he committed to anything with this landing pad petition. Sure, he'd talked to the Hollow's princess, but Fawn was his queen, and anyway, Atta hadn't really given Phineas a solid answer.

One afternoon, sprawled by the lake on a sunny day, Phineas decided to bring it up. "Yo," Phineas said, turning to face Fawn. "Got a question for you."

@strange-sight

Fawn felt her brows raise a bit, gaze turning to the side towards her boyfriend as a small smile began to curl at the corner of her lips. It was practically impossible to imagine what was going to come from Phineas - that was something she loved about him. He was unpredictable in the best ways, really.

So he already had her curiosity as she turned on her side, propping her head up and letting her elbow rest against the ground. "I might have an answer for you. Depending on the subject. Hit me, Flynn."

Penny grinned. Wait, maybe this was a good idea then??

There was definitely still a part of her that worried no one would show up. Even though she was famous, Penny still felt like the weirdo kid who never had any friends, besides the creepy-crawlers and critters she could chat with freely. She kept waiting for that feeling to go away. But it never did.

But people liked her in Swynlake right? And people liked a party!

"Man, okay! Okay, I'm gonna brainstorm then! It doesn't have to be just about bats, also," said Penny quickly. "In fact, do you think there are any species in Enchantra that need help? Or that people should be more aware of?"
