miss-bellegedeon​:

Belle had been chatting idlly with one of her friends who worked at the cafe when she noticed a kindly looking patron who’d fallen asleep where he sat. While she was normally not the type to awkaken someone from such a peaceful slumber, there was a part of her that shuddered at the thought of the book he was resting upon getting mangled or crumpled in any way. Bidding her friend adieu, the brunette walked quietly over to the slumbering male before delicately tapping him on the shoulder. As he started to rise, she almost felt bad for waking him up. He seemed much more asleep than she’d originally thought. “Must not have been a page turner, huh?” she inquired with a warm smile. “May I ask what it was you were reading?”

Winnie being asleep at that moment, yet not, snoring had no idea of his surroundings other than he was still in the café. He had been dreaming of teddy bears and honey. Lots and lots of glorious honey. His dreams were disrupted by someone tapping him on the shoulder and he woke with a startle to find a woman there. Through sleepy eyes, he could at least make out that she appeared to be nice, and he wasn’t in any immediate danger. “It was not a page turner, no.” He replied, rubbing the rest of the sleep from his eyes. “Just a book on the history of honey.”

Winnie had been in the café for a little while. He’d been having some hot chocolate and mostly keeping to himself. He’d even started a book. But his eyes had gotten heavy somewhere around the middle of page forty-five of the book. He’d fallen asleep with his head in the book on the table and thankfully he wasn’t one to snore. But, he was sure when he was woken up by someone else, he was going to be embarrassed for sure.

positivelyminnie​:

Minnie’s job was stressful and difficult on a normal day with electronic devices. At least if the mayor needed to get ahold of her or she needed to pass on a message, it could be done within the span of seconds using her cellphone. Not to mention that her planner was on her tablet and cellphone, thankfully she always kept a spare physical paper for emergencies like this. But being the mayor’s personal messenger during this crisis still wasn’t easy. 

Not only did she have to keep everyone updated on the current situation, like some news anchor, she had to help with problems that arose in locations the mayor other town leaders weren’t at. Like what to do with everyone’s pets when the citizens moved to the hotel for the duration of the stay. Figuring out the budget for food and supplies, coordinating actives to keep the townspeople’s spirits up as well as entraining the children. She barely spared a moment to eat or rest, surviving solely on coffee and willpower. The brunette had stopped at the buffet set up in the hotel to refill her coffee thermos using the Keurig that town hall had supplied, while she went over her notes written in sparkly pink gel pen, a moment of quiet before she rushed off again to see the mayor and get directions and updates. sensing someone next to her, she looked up from her work to address the individual. 

“Oh dear, I didn’t see you there. Are you waiting on coffee too?”

@happieststarters​

Winnie hoped that they were able to leave soon. Not that he minded being relocated too much. He wasn’t one to complain or bother people too much. He mostly kept to himself if he wasn’t among his friends. That being said, he did want to go home at some point because living out of a small bag, and not being able to be at his work was really taking a toll on him. He liked to see all the children and fix their teddy bears. He enjoyed their faces when he was able to bring them back from what children called some sort of disaster. Really it was nothing more than a few stitches. Simple fixes here and there.

The best thing about this was he had been able to make some honey right before he had left. So he had plenty to share with anyone who might wish to share with him when he offered to. He had made his way around the hotel. It was something to wander around a place with so many people standing about or displaced at the moment. But he had settled on the buffet. Maybe they would have some tea and he could use a little of his honey in there. He spotted a woman at a machine. So he stood next to her. “Coffee?” He asked, curiously. No, he certainly didn’t want that.

“Does it make tea or hot water for tea? I don’t drink coffee, I’m afraid.”

elsaxonxicex​:

Cold never bothered me

@happieststarters​

Elsa felt a bit conflicted as she arranged a room for herself. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to share one with Anna, it was more that she shouldn’t. Ever since the accident Elsabeth blamed herself for hurting her, even if it was years ago it was never truly forgotten. Feeling as conflicted as she was she found herself walking outside, clenching to herself as she watched the snowfall. The power was still not back and the hours passed without many answers. Now and then she thought back of the blue glow she had seen emitting from the sky, it was something she never had seen before and it was beautiful in a way. Almost magical. She heard the door open and turned around to see who it was. “You taking a breather as well?” She said in a weak attempt of small talk.

~

Winnie had elected to go outside for a few moments. It was surely cold enough that he could see his own breath and he would probably want to come inside quickly. But, all the same, he wanted to go outside and just see the nature. He felt better when he was outside. It was something that he couldn’t quite explain. As he headed outside, he didn’t see anyone else, and he wondered if he were the only one to really want to get a bit of fresh air. That it until he spotted the woman. He didn’t know her at first glance and she didn’t introduce herself. But he was happy for the small talk. “I am taking a little bit of a breather.” He said, with a soft smile. “It can be a bit much inside.” He offered. “Same for you?” He asked.

itsmichaelmaus​:

Michael was not pleased. He wanted to go to the museum. He didn’t want to be in an overcrowded hotel he could just sleep in the museum, sure it’ll be cold but it would be more like home than this place. “God I wanna get out of here.” He mumbled to himself. Maybe he could use a drink, not that he often drank. He pushed through the people who were fighting for a key, he’d take whatever he gets. As long as he could just go back to the museum. “Would someone get mad if I snuck out?” He could use his phone as a flashlight. 

@happieststarters​

Winnie was again wandering around the hotel. He didn’t really like being confined to his room. He liked nature and being outside most of the time. Part of him wanted to go for a walk. But it was just not the time nor the place for it. He knew that everyone else knew better than him at the moment. He was wandering along with two jars of honey. One that he was planning on eating relatively soon and one for a new friend if he happened to find one. He heard someone’s voice nearby. “You know, that is a very good question.” He said, loud enough for the other person to hear. He continued a bit quieter as not to alert anyone else. “But now seems a poor time to sneak out. Of course, I am just a silly man.”

itsmeridadunbroch​:

merida was lounging around in a chair with a book in hand, but she wasn’t taking the words in. her mind kept falling back to wondering when the power would go back on. never in her time at redwood hollow had she ever experienced a power cut, and she’d been hearing whispers around the hotel of something about a blue light. closing her book with a sigh, she dipped her head back. hopefully the power would come on soon because there was a high chance she’d go stir crazy. she was too restless for this.

“anyone know when the power will be back on?”

~

Winnie wasn’t quite sure when the power would be on. He hadn’t really been looking into it at the moment. He was sure that he should probably be more concerned about it. But no one seemed too concerned with him which was more than okay with him. He heard a voice asking when the power will be back on and he looked up at her for a moment. He shrugged his shoulders and let out a breath. 

“It is a very valid question and I am sure many are curious about the answer.” He admitted, as he started to sort his honey on the ground into a little circle. “I, myself have not heard even a small peep about when that would be.” He told her, honestly. “I am afraid I cannot be of more help.”

oz-borror​:

The town was in temporary chaos. Power outages, strange flashes in the sky, and now every citizen being squished into the limited hotels that Redwood had to offer. How had these few buildings managed to maintain electricity you ask? Why, through the kindness of those who had private generators, just like Oz Borror.

‘Kindness’ wasn’t exactly the correct word. His agreement to assist hadn’t been given for free to the mayor. On no. With Oz, there was always a price.

As people ran around the hotel reception, pushing and yelling for rooms in which they could place their head on a pillow and forget this horrible ordeal, Oz sat in the room just to the left, a snug little bar the hotel provided which served both spirits and sushi, what a weird place. Clearly the male didn’t have a necessary reason for being here, his home had not suffered the outage. Yet, here he sat, people watching and humming an old tune as he cupped a glass of bourbon. His humming would only cease when a new face sits on the stool directly beside him.

He looks to them, raising his glass to take a sip.

“A word of advice, skip the sushi.”

@happieststarters​

Winnie wasn’t sure why he was sitting in a bar on a stool. He’d never much had a taste for the stuff. Admittedly, he was more of a flavored water sort of person or perhaps if he were feeling dangerous, he would drink a carbonated beverage. His favorite nighttime drink had to be a nice cup of tea with some honey in it which soothed his throat after a long day of using it.

 It was sometimes difficult to get children to listen without using his more raised tone of voice. Never shouting. He didn’t like to shout at people. It wasn’t something that he figured into his day. He had other co-workers for that sort of thing.

He heard another voice and looked over at the man for a moment. Skip the sushi? Ew. Did people actually order that. “Honey does not go with sushi.” He replied, softly. And honey was Winnie’s favorite thing. “But it does go well with a nice piece or two of toast.” 

When someone came to help him, he ordered a water with lemon, and looked around for a few moments before looking back to the man nearby. “Are you waiting for someone or a room? I know it is a bit--how would you put it? I suppose one would say disorderly here at the moment.”

chanceofoscar​:

Oscar drummed his fingers against the table he’d found himself perched at. His eyes watching the snow that blew outside the window. He’d been lost in a day dream for the past twenty or so minutes, thinking of all the warm places he could be. His mind had settled on Fiji, one of the many island he had on his vision board at home. If Oscar focused hard enough, he could taste the sweet pineapple juice that he would be drinking. The young man only seemed to come back to reality when a voice seemed to yell at him.  Jumping from his seat, his head spun from the left and right before settling infront of him. “Hm? Sorry, where you talking to me? I completely zoned out, you wanna repeat that?” 

@happieststarters​

Winnie had been wandering around with what seemed to be an endless supply of honey he’d made before all this had actually started. He’d been asking if anyone wanted any. Some were polite and turned him down without a care in the world and others were quite rude. But, it didn’t phase him at all as he simply wanted to bring joy and a full tummy to anyone who wanted any. He had sat down to someone who seemed to be in another world at the moment. He’d watched him jump out of his seat and Winnie appeared confused. “I asked if you would like to share some honey.” He asked, curiously. He smacked his lips for a moment in anticipation. “Oh bother.”

[winniephilpott]

ofanna-arendelle​:

Anna smiled when they apologized on the same time, her parents always taught her to be respectful unfortnuatelly Anna was very clumbsy and bumped into people constantly so apologizing was like a second nature to her, she wondered if he was as clumbsy as her. “I would say the exactly same thing, you were just walking and I basically jumped on you.” She said offering him a warm smile.

“I’m Anna.” She said introducing herself. “Are you okay? I hope I didn’t broke any of your things.”She said looking at the things he was carrying and making sure he didn’t drop and left any of it behind. “is there anything I can do to help you?” She offered, it was the least she could after bumping on him, even they both thinking it was their fault, besides she didn’t had any plans so she was free to help out, even if Anna had something to do she would still offer to help

~

He smiled for a moment. “Well, then let’s split the difference and say it was really no ones fault in particular.” He offered. Winnie was too kind for his own good, honestly. He wasn’t about to let someone as kind as Anna take the blame, anyway. It was silly to begin with. It was a simple thing such as bumping into one another. Nothing had been done to either of them. No harm had come to them.

“Winnie.”  He said, as his expression softened more if that were possible at this point. “You didn’t break any of my things. These little guys are tough and they can be jostled around with the best of them.” He informed her. He shook his head gently. But not in a dismissive way. He appreciated the gesture of her wanting to offer assistance. “But, if you wanted to share some honey with me, I do happen to have quite a bit. So that would be something that I wouldn’t mind in the least.”

[winniephilpott]

ofanna-arendelle​:

Anna was in the room she got at the hotel, she had asked for a double one hoping her sister would join her, they could have a small sleepover, talk, laugh, have unhealthy snacks, just like  they did when they were little, however as expected now Anna was looking at the empty bed next to her, she should had exchanged rooms with that guy that asked earlier, at least that way she wouldn’t feel so lonely.

Tired of looking at the walls, Anna put a sweater, deciding to leave the room and explore the hotel, it wasn’t that late so she doubt everyone would be sleeping and this would be a great opportunity to meet new people and make new friends, excited with the idea she opened the door and as she stepped out of her room Anna bumped into someone that was walking in the hallway. “I’m so sorry….” She apologized.

@happieststarters​

Winnie wasn’t quite paying attention at the moment. He was wandering around the hotel which was probably not the best idea to be honest. He should be back in his room trying to rest or perhaps trying to find ways to keep busy. Maybe someone, somewhere, required his help. He could be useful when he put his mind to it. He turned a corner and was heading down a hallway with his hands full of a few things when he bumped into someone.

“I’m so sorry.” He replied at the same time as the woman had. He was used to apologizing. It appeared that she was as well. “It was really my fault.” He insisted. “No need to apologize on your end. I promise.”

xaspiringbeamoflightx​:

Tina wasn’t best pleased with the current blackout situation, nor was she particularly enjoying the cold either. As an employee of the Neverland Hotel it was a given that she had to help out, finding rooms and providing extra blankets and pillows, but she wasn’t exactly thrilled to be working involuntary overtime. Sure, she had her own room in the hotel right next to Peter, but she had been avoiding it for the past few weeks.

At present, Tina was doing her best to dodge pissed off customers, carrying a stupidly large pile of blankets on her way to find a good hiding place for a nap. “Sorry, can’t help right now, I’m on delivery duty!” she lied, as someone rounded the corner.

~

Winnie was doing his best to appear helpful and also remain out of the way of anyone who was currently working in the hotel. He didn’t really have any skills that would come in handy at the moment. He could mend teddy bears and other stuffed animals or make honey. But that was about the extent of his knowledge. Although, he supposed that he could ease the troubled mind of a child, something that he had learned since working at his job. He sincerely hoped he wouldn’t encounter any of those. It really put a damper on his spirits when he saw a deeply upset child.

He was wandering around with some honey in his hands when he heard the woman and attempted to move out of her way. “Understandable. Sorry if I was in your way.” He called out.

adropofgoldenrachelx​:

Starter for @winniephilpott​

Rachel was maybe a little bit too excited about the blackout, and had decided to wander the hotel instead of cooping herself up in her room with her parents. There were so many interesting people cramped up in here, and she was certain at least one of them could do with a friend to keep them company until they could return home. She had already volunteered her services with serving sandwiches, and though her enthusiasm was great, it was obvious that her perkiness wasn’t totally welcomed at this time of nights. So with that, she continued her search for friends.

It was half-way down a corridor that she spotted Winnie, though she didn’t have a name to put to the familiar face. “Hey!” Rachel called, waving an excited hand in his direction. “Hey, you! You look like you could use some company, can I join you?”

~

The darkness wasn’t something that completely bothered Winnie one way or another. He could stay in his room, he supposed, but he felt like it was better to get out and explore a little bit. He wanted to see what was going on. Plus he had some extra honey lying around and maybe someone would want some. He knew that people probably found it silly that he found comfort in stuffed animals and honey. But, it was the simplest things that made him happiest.

He heard his name as he was wandering around and turned to spot a girl that he was familiar with. But her name was escaping him at the moment and boy, did he feel foolish for not remembering, because he remembered everyone. “Hey!” He replied, a huge smile upon his features. “Of course, you can join me. I can always use company. I have honey if you want some.” He offered.

[winniephilpott]

daisypondstuff​:

“Uh I think you have the wrong place, but I would love some honey!! If you happen to have some extra I will gladly take it from you” Daisy said as she totally forgets her manners. She puts her hand out so the nice gentle men can shake it, “Hello I’m Daisy its nice to meet you” Daisy said “What is your name?” she asked “Would you like to come in?”

~

“I have some extra. I always carry extra.” He replied, with a smile upon his features. He juggled things in one hand so that he had one free to shake hers for a moment. “Hello Daisy. I’m Winnie.” He offered, before releasing her hand a  moment later. “I’d love to come in if it’s not too much of a problem. I have samples if you’d like to try some before you commit.”

[winniephilpott]

DAISY

Daisy hears a knock at the door as she walks up to answer it “coming!” she said “Hello can I help you?” she asked the person 

~

He wasn’t even sure if he had the right place or not. He could have the wrong address entirely. It wasn’t like he delivered things all the time. Making honey was just something he did on the side. For his parents, beekeeping was their entire lives. He loved to make honey. But his regular job was taking care of teddy bears and whatnot. The door opened and Winnie put on a bright smile. “Hello, I’m not sure if I have the right place. But, I have some honey here. I’m supposed to be dropping it off.” He told her.
