there's  a  wide  smile  that  had  taken  over  a  large  portion  of  his  face  as  he  looked  up  to  the  moon.  he  was  sitting  in  the  middle  of  a  boat,  but  wasn't  sailing  anywhere.  mainly  letting  the  ocean  waters  sway  him  back  and  forth.  if  one  were  to  look  at  his  attire,  they'd  think  they  were  sunbathing.  denim  shorts  that  were  obviously  cut  my  them,  tank  top  tucked  in  the  back  pocket,  flannel  shirt  wrapped  around  their  waste,  and  the  shoes  he  had  come  with  kicked  off.  “the  souls  are  talking!  they're  chatty  tonight.”  he  couldn't  actually  speak  to  the  dead.  devlin  looks  over  at  them  with  a  cheshire  grin.  “they  brought  you  to  me  for  a  reason.  what  do  you  need?”

"hell  yeah!"  vincent's  lips  had  a  very  large  grin  set  on  them  as  he  was  shirtless.  looking  over  his  shoulder  and  at  the  mirror,  he  grinned  as  he  saw  the  wings  briefly  twitched  on  his  back.  he  made  his  way  back  to  the  bed  and  climbed  on  top  of  the  other.  "they  got  a  little  bigger  today.  maybe  i'll  be  able  to  actually  use  them  in  my  human  form  instead  of  being  shrunken  down  to  a  squashable  5  inches.  although  being  able  to  shrink  would  be  pretty  cool  as  well!"  he  babbled  on  excitedly  with  a  grin  before  sliding  down  onto  the  bed  next  to  the  other.  "now  i  just  need  to  figure  out  how  to  get  a  motorcycle  here."

[ open to: everyone ] [ location: beach outside prince eric's castle ]

maui stared out at the water, his feet in the shore still outside the castle, thinking simple and completely useless thoughts about what to do next. each idea came up and was rejected, there was a barrier he couldn't get around and it was fucked up, none of his ideas had a shot of working and that had never happened to him before. probably. he also couldn't hear anyone bringing him any particular guidance or...just as maui started to wonder if he'd even ever had any guidance or vision at all, a loud bird cawed over head. he looked up in excitement, arms spread wide, "BIRD! bird i need your eye on this situation if it wouldn't be too much trouble!" brow furrowing, maui shook his head, perplexed. he repeated it louder, clapping his hands a couple times, to absolutely no response from the bird. it continued to look for dinner.

　　there was an ethereal beauty in the turquoise ocean before him. the soothing sound of its living waves, the way they sparkled underneath the moonlight that bathed the coast. eloi had to find comfort in them, for otherwise, he'd find himself breaking down in tears the same way he had just hours ago. 　　so many things had happened in so little time. dreams had become memories, names did not match faces any longer. for weeks he had been hunted by visions, fantasies at night... a mystery prince, a royal ball, pumpkins turning into carriages, mice sewing garments. ashton could barely go along with his life as he dealt with the newfound terror of turning the doorknob to his room just to find himself locked again. locked in his attic, as poor little cendrillon did right before he was taken away to live a new life, in a land so outlandish. 　　for a moment he expected to wake up back in his old attic, with the duke and his one chance for freedom gone for good. instead he awakened in the middle of a tropical woodland, lost and terrified. but the sea, the sea was comforting. his father had promised eloi he'd take him there someday, to the coasts of tirulia. was he there now? he could not tell.

Samuel can feel his magic somewhere. Just out of reach. He just needs to take it.

He settles himself in a cave on some island he doesn't know anything about. The fire he starts is small, mostly just to keep warm but also to make the shadows around him deeper. He just need to commune with the darkness. Establish his connection with it after all this time.

He feels like he's on the cusp of finally getting it when the snap of a twig outside takes his attention away and... it's gone again.

He sighs, frustrated.

"You might as well show yourself," he calls, gritting his teeth as he tries to find that edge again but it's gone. He looks out to the mouth of the cave where he can make out a figure in the darkness. "You've already made yourself known.

¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.-> it hadn't taken him long after waking up to fall back into his usual habits. rather than heading towards the castle or the towns center, hunter gathered himself and made his way out towards the woods; outside of the citadel's walls. it was strange to have memories of who he really was come flooding back while he was still in his pellar's town deputy sheriff uniform, with his handgun on his hip and his badge on his chest. it was like the last curse they'd all been pulled into was leaving it's claws in them by giving everyone a lingering, messy duality to try and make sense of.

ignoring it, for now, he set about finding supplies to make a small camp for himself. by the time he had fashioned a small a-frame shelter made with branches and leaves and a small fire, roasting a rabbit he had caught while he was working, night had already fallen over him. wherever he was.

"you move with the subtlety of a drunken ox." he grumbled without turning around as he addressed the loud footsteps of the person approaching him from behind. "so i know you're there. no point in trying to sneak up on me now..."

　　his awakening was painful. his back ached as it rested against the cobbled pavement of a road he did not know, in a kingdom he had never been to. it was the nuzzling of a wet nose that made ulric push himself up by his arms and was confronted by an all too familiar set of big brown eyes. don, his loyal dog, a dog he did not own until he came to be one richard hartwin. how could a name he went by for so long feel so foreign all of a sudden? 　　he was a huntsman. ulric, the royal hunstman to his king...his king... 　　"snow white...snow white...." his lips uttered the name in worry, as he finally manged to plant his feet on the ground. where was his king? could he be in danger? ulric had seen him there, in pellar's town. he was an animal physician of sorts, veterinarian? whatever it was, the town was gone, and so was his king. he had to find him, him and florian. find the castle, find anyone who could give a single answer to his million questions. the huntsman aimlessly walked down the road, allowing the stranger dog to follow him as it pushed his snout against the man's hand. it seemed he still believed ulric to be richard. perhaps he always knew he was somewhere in there.

being  woken  up  from  the  curse  was  one  thing,  but  to  end  up  on  an  island  felt  limiting  for  him.  he  was  so  close  to  where  hades  had  resurrected  him  in  the  first  place,  why  couldn't  he  go  there?  enzi  had  tried  several  times  to  shift  into  his  lion  form,  but  there  was  never  something  that  seemed  to  stick.  the  best  he  could  do  was  summon  up  his  claws  long  enough  to  climb  up  one  of  the  trees.  then,  when  he  heard  someone  passing  by,  he  glanced  down  at  them  and  threw  a  piece  of  fruit  at  their  head.  “ eat  up.  you're  going  to  need  your  energy  if  we're  going  to  escape  from  here. ”   a  cunning  smile  formed  on  his  face  as  he  looked  to  see  if  he  should  climb  down.  “ we  can  help  each  other. ”
