Snow White ✧ 1937 Disney's Snow White

Oh please don't run away ! I won't hurt you !

App ✧ Stats ✧ Rules

The kind, young princess from the 1500s with a song in her heart and a natural instinct to be useful. Can someone please show her how this little magic mirror works?

A knack for gardening and the tidiest person you know!

Her dress has secret pockets that hold sinister items ( bird seed. She's feeding the birds and gaining their trust. )

In the terms of fight or flight, she's absolutely, always going to pick flight. Even in heels.

TOWNHOUSE 201

[wshingwells]

" Through much confusion, I've learned it's called a ' Telephone ' ! A little magic mirror you carry around that, supposedly makes things easier... Though I don't see how- "

Snow scrunched up her nose, taking several seconds to remember how to navigate to the banking app on her own phone before turning her screen to Callum to show.

" It really is strange, but there isn't coin here at all ! Everything is this, stardust stuff. I still don't understand it myself... " Something told her she never would get it either. She really was just flying by the hem of her skirt, maybe she wasn't the best person to try to explain this...

" It also makes instant portraits ! Now that- That I like ! "

[bloodhunted]

          ❝ A 'telephone'... ❞ callum nodded like that made any more sense to him than it apparently did to her, filing the word away for later use. it did seem an awful lot like some kind of magic mirror, though oddly proportioned and with its own glow so it could be seen even in the dark. practical, he might think under different circumstances, but at the moment the thing was still largely useless to the warlock.

     ❝ Then stardust is coin here? ❞ the tiefling's head tilted as he watched the girl tap at the screen of her own telephone, eyes diligent as he carefully mimicked her movements on his own device—and successfully opened his own banking app at the same moment she turned her screen towards him.

     ❝ Instant... portraits? ❞ callum frowned slightly, gaze flickering up from his telephone to hers again. ❝ What do you mean? ❞

[wshingwells]

" Why yes ! Quite so ! " The princess set her phone in her lap, leaning over to make sure he hit the right little icons... She struggled enough with the thing, so at the very least, she could keep him from making familiar mistakes.

" I hit that little bell image in the corner on accident once, but it seems to inform me when I purchase something now, which is nice ! "

It was helpful, sure ! But really, Snow just liked the little sound it made. She perked up a bit at his question, giving him that usual grin as her hands pat her lap till she could grab her phone up again. " Well I mean just that ! Instant portraits ! No artist, no paints, no sitting still for several hours... Here, look ! "

She didn't really wait before snapping a photo. Click ! " See ? I've been told it's not magic, at least, not like I know of... But it sure is neat ! "

[wshingwells]

Snow White had made a habit of keeping an eye out for lost faces these days, knowing just how thankful she was to have some help when she first got here, and this time around was no different as she saw the figure tucked away. She had to do a quick double take just to make sure she hadn't mistaken a shadow for a person, but once she was sure, she smoothed out the bodice of her dress and made her approach.

" I still don't quite know my way around the strange thing if it's any consolation. "

The princess pulled her phone from the tote bag on her arm and tilted her head with a smile. It took several people, and a lot of fiddling for her to even figure out how to turn the thing on... Snow sat herself down right there on the ground across from him, and pulled her skirt to sit under her legs.

" But I can at least help you navigate to where the money of this place is kept ! If you'd like ! "

[bloodhunted]

          IT WAS THE WEIGHT OF another's stare that made callum finally look away from the strange square device in his hand, silver gazing shifting upward. the sight of a girl, complete with a colorful dress that wouldn't have been out of place in the noble courts of waterdeep, made the tiefling tilt his head slightly in what someone who knew him might call curiosity. her voice was upbeat, cheerful, and he simply watched silently as she dug in her bag and pulled out an identical device to the one callum himself held.

     it was natural to follow her to the ground as she sat, legs tucked under each other and tail gently tucked close around them as callum continued to watch her movements. the help, offered unprompted, made a whisper of suspicion brush through him... and yet. she reminded him of tulip, with her sunshiney attitude and elegant dress. callum couldn't help but relax a little in her presence, at the comparison.

     ❝ What are they? ❞ his voice was soft and low, with just the barest curl of interest. ❝ I don't understand how they're supposed to give me coin. ❞

[wshingwells]

(QUEST) SWEET CANDY FOREST: It Ain’t A Fantasy Without A Dragon

"Beware of its candied breath, huh..." She's read over the quest in question. "Well, good thing we'll be protected, hm?" Lifting her head to look at her companion, Hanabi smiles. "Together, I'm sure we'll be able to take down this dragon!"

She's glad they've got to meet again and this time on a much lighter note, it seems.

"Are you ready?" Hanabi places the paper into her robe and pulls out her book of spells. Man, she really fits the part! NOT just her, but Snow White too. You wouldn't think someone as sweet and loving as her would have an AX as a weapon!

[wshingwells]

" Ready as I can be ! I think-! " Truthfully, Snow would've loved to find a way to just befriend the beast and walk away from this with a new ally, but if she really did have to fight the dragon...

Well she was glad to do it with someone familiar, and in better spirits too ! ... She was so sad last time the princess saw her.

" We can certainly do our best as long as we stick together ! Though, I've never taken an axe to a dragon before- "

[bloodhunted]

@wshingwells ♡'d for a starter!

          AN IMPASSIVE GAZE STARED DOWN at the device in callum's hand with nothing short of incomprehension, the only sign of his confusion the faintest crease between his silver eyes. anyone who had been paying attention for any length of time would know that he had been cradling the device for nearly fifteen minutes, occasionally giving a hesitant tap to its screen before dropping his free hand again. the tiefling had been led to believe he could pay for food with it... somehow. but it was nothing like the usual metallic coins he was used to, and insofar it had seemed unwilling to divulge its secrets to him.

     so callum merely continued to linger outside the bustling diner, tucked quietly into a corner between the front display window and the neighboring wall. his stomach was growling softly, reminding the blood hunter that he hadn't eaten anything significant in days, but the truth was that he was used to ignoring such feelings. and he was content to simply keep ignoring it, at least until callum figured out how exactly this device was supposed to procure him coins... and subsequently food.

( ! ) QUEST ACCEPTED

Sweet Sculps Resituated ( @wshingwells )

there's a short 'meow' that prompts dar'khol's response, a quickened jog set in its given direction. "didja find one? didn't think ya'd care to help me--" the warrior's voice trails off, approach slowing to a stop as shoulders sag with a sigh. he held the assumption his gaelicat had warmed up to the idea of aiding his search, but all she's done is found a new face to butter up.

"... me," dar breaths in soft defeat, palms dropping to rest against his hips. a tired stare meets boo's own, widened look. not an ounce of regret in those eyes, huh? go figure. as for her new source of attention...

"i see she's made herself comfortable with ya. sorry if she's gotten in the way at all, we were suppose to be gatherin' up lil' sculptures." eyes narrow, shifting back to the purring gaelicat before putting emphasis on his, "not cuddlin' up to th' next pretty face that passed up by."

[wshingwells]

" Oh she's not got in the way at all ! Have you little friend ? " He got a rather chipper reply from the girl sat on the ground, currently focused on the feline in her lap. Snow didn't really have a goal at the moment anyhow, having taken her seat a while ago after a rather close encounter with some of the fairgrounds... less than pleasant creatures.

She never thought she'd be hitting anything besides wood with an axe. Or cleaning sugar serum off of said axe with the inner lining of her skirt.

" Sculptures ? Oh!! Maybe like this one perhaps ? " The princess dug through her bag. " Now where did I put that thing- " She mumbled to herself before finally producing a chocolate figure. holding it up towards Dar'khol for him to see.

" Curious thing ! A cluster of those scary beasts were around it ! "

[wshingwells]

Which subtle way of saying "i love you" are you ?

" Here, have a sandwich "

You like to take care of people. probably because you don't take very good care of yourself, and you know how hard life can be when you don't have someone occasionally looking over your shoulder, offering you food when you forget to eat, telling you to rest when you've overlooked how tired you really are. you want to be that person for other people. you are that person for other people, and you're good at it too -- but remember to think of yourself as well when you're making someone else a sandwich. please, keep being you. the world would look a lot better if there were more people like you in it.

[charadrxxmxrr]

Discomfort? Ha.

It is something much more than discomfort.

Still. Chara stays where they’re seated, watching the girl as she speaks. She’s got a sort of… light tone, and softness.

They realize what’s familiar about her now.

(She reminds them of Toriel)

— at the offer to sit, Chara tenses up. They bite their bottom lip, and look down at their knees, rather than at her.

“. . . I am fine sitting here, thank you.”

[wshingwells]

" Well that's okay ! " Snow just nodded her head and held that gentle grin. Some people prefer their space, the princess knows that all too well !.. But that's not going to stop her from at least attempting to make some kind of light conversation.

" Hmm... "

It was only fair she shared her own strange story about her fine feathered friends ! " Oh, there was this pair of birds that used to help me hang up laundry ! Golly, it really was nice to have an extra set of hands- er, well, wings I suppose ! "

[isolaradiale]

Our epic tale began on a cold, wintery eve. Under the dim light of a moon hidden by snowy clouds, the city transformed. Walls creaked and crumbled, rebuilt in an instant in new shapes; new forms. The modern metropolis was replaced with a realm crafted from sugary treats. Gingerbread walls, gumdrop roads, cinnamon stick trees, candy castles. For this was now a fantasy candy land: the realm of the Candy Witch.

"AWAKEN, WOULD-BE INVADERS!"

The witch's voice would boom, a thunderous sound with a tinge of familiarity to it. "You dare encroach upon my land? The Candy Witch's kingdom? Well then, I challenge you. Find me at the tippy top of my castle tower, but not before my trials are passed! Only then might you challenge me and, if you win, I may consider a way to send you home!"

In front of every non-NPC entity in the city a holographic paper appeared. A character sheet. "But the witch would not leave you without a means of accomplishing your tasks," Another voice spoke. It sounded similar to the witch's, but was much gentler. Almost as if there was a singular actor playing two different roles. "Will you take up a blade as the noble HEARTBREAKER? Perhaps you would prefer to cast the spells of the PASSION CASTER? Does the healing power of the LOVE DOCTOR tickle your fancy? Or does the path of the thieving HEART STEALER beckon to you? Fill out your character sheets and review the attached quest list, and let your journey begin!"

THE VOICE GOES SILENT

While the people of Spirale would hear nothing else for now, in a dark lab a young woman turned off her microphone. "I'm an android, I'm not supposed to be an actress..." Ofiuco rested her cheek gentle in front of her keyboard. "Oh well. I've always wanted to try LARPing, so why not give this a go? I think everyone could use something a little silly for a change, especially with Valentine's coming!"

═══════════════════════════════════

OVERVIEW

Welcome to our 33rd event, SUGAR QUEST IV: THAT MOMENTARY SWEETNESS! This event was inspired by a mix of old RPG games and silly mobile game events. So what's going on?

The people of the city are awoken to the sound of a familiar voice claiming to be the Candy Witch who issues you a challenge: pass her trials and find her at the top of the castle tower.

Everyone will fill out a quick character sheet that can be found on this page, which will determine your stats, class, and abilities!

The wards of the city have all been redesigned with a candy fantasy aesthetic, and you can find these changes listed in a section below. For the duration of the event you cannot access the branches.

Trials will be offered in the form of quests that can be chosen at your leisure. Participating in a quest is not mandatory for acquiring participation, but you will receive a flat 200 Stars for your character's account. You can only claim this 200 Stars once, so doing multiple quests will not net you more.

If you're just interested in event participation, any interaction will count regardless of whether it's in a quest or not! We'll also be offering Oficucotot, Bringer of Love as an exclusive event reward! She's a six inch, Ofiuco-shaped drone that follows after you and shoots tiny arrows at your foes. Not lethal, but very annoying! The item description reads: "Watch Your Eyes!".

YOU CAN FIND ALL OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT CLASSES, LOCATIONS, AND QUESTS HERE.

The event ends at 11:59:59PM on Friday, February 28th.

F.A.Q.

Will this event have a part 2? No! There is only one part to this event. There will be a raid battle during the last week of the event where everyone can face off against the Candy Witch, however.

Can we use our regular powers and weapons during this event? Unfortunately not! Your character has been stripped of their powers and had their physical abilities reduced to that of a normal human. You can only rely on the abilities and weapons provided by the class you choose and your character sheet stats! For non-humanoid characters, please reach out to the masterlist for accommodations!

Are the listed monsters the only ones in the setting? Nope! Those are just suggestions. You can design your own monsters to face, and even the ones listed alongside the locations are open to visual interpretation aside from the traits already listed.

Will my character undergo any visual changes during this event? Your selected class will grant you specific gear and weapons as part of that selection. Otherwise, nope! At least unless you disturb the fairies in the forest...

Are we required to use the quests for our threads? Nope! You can use them if you want the 200 Star reward, but it isn't mandatory to do a quest to get participation and the Ofiucotot, Bringer of Love. You can just do a different thread in the setting!

[charadrxxmxrr]

“. . . I see. That is … nice.”

She seems harmless. But that’s not always the case. Frisk seemed harmless, but if pushed in the wrong direction, Frisk was — they were both —

They’re freaking out. Okay. Take a breath, Chara. Chill out.

Fight item >act run

ACT

ask about bird facts >talk about the birds you knew

“There was … a bird I knew, that. It was able to carry us across a small gap.”

[wshingwells]

Snow pursed her lips, subconsciously taking that same breath in time. She had a knack for noticing the smaller things, and she's had her fair share of anxious moments, enough to at least notice the discomfort that radiated off of Chara.

" Goodness.. ! Why, they must've had quite the strong set of wings huh ? "

The princess patted her hand on the ground next to her, pulling her skirt under her knees. " I'm Snow White ! ...Would you like to join me ? "

[charadrxxmxrr]

“You look familiar.”

normally… being around humans puts them on edge. But this is just a girl, and she’s been feeding the birds in the wood. Chara watches her, cautious, from where they’ve positioned themself at the base of one of the larger trees.

(surely, birds have better judgement of humans than most living creatures.)

“… do you do this often? The birds seem to know you.”

@wshingwells

[wshingwells]

Broken from her usual day dreams, Snow turned her attention towards the voice, cocking her head with a gentle smile. Why, they didn't look much younger than herself... If the princess thought about that for too long, well- her mind started to drift.

" I do ? "

Snow folded her hands in her lap, resting her shoulders. The birds lingered around a while, even after she had cleared the seed from her palms.

" Why, yes ! Gosh it has become a bit of a habit really. I'd like to think we're friends ! "

[wshingwells]

His last comment made Snow muffled a laugh behind her hand. She couldn't imagine a squirrel hopped up on any kind of sugar or caffeine. Why, that seemed like a recipe for disaster... " Mmm, no, I don't believe they do ! By golly their hearts already race as is ! "

The princess tittered, clasping her hands behind her back. Now she just had to remember what direction the cafe in question actually was in...

" Oh please, don't worry about me ! It's not 'out of the way' in the slightest ! I quite like the walk anyhow, and if it means getting to offer a helping hand at the same time? Why, I'd be more than willing ! "

[voyagehcme]

JIM LIFTS HIS SHOULDERS INTO A SHRUG , a dumb grin on his face. So much for that idea. But , hey. You never know. Maybe one of these days he'll walk into a coffee shop and see a squirrel with a Cappuccino. ❛ Nuts , then. Or maybe birdseed ? ❜ To be fair , he's sure they'd eat just about anything they could get their paws on.

THERE'S A MOMENT OF HESITATION BEFORE he sweeps his arm forward as if to say " lead the way. " ❛ If you're really sure , then the help would be appreciated. You sure there isn't anything I can do to pay you back ? You don’t even want a pastry or something while we're there ? ❜

[wshingwells]

Snow matched his grin easily, bouncing on her heels a bit. " You're quite the funny man sir ! " Or maybe she's just easy to make laugh, that is also a possibility... Either way, the princess found herself pleasantly disarmed in her present company.

" Oh !! Goodness me, I never did get your name ! I'm Snow White, and I am more than happy to help ! "

A curtsy was offered, one hand going up to make sure her bow doesn't slip off her head. " Oh no, please don't worry about it ! Save your dust, you just might need it later ! " Snow trusted Wolfwood's cafe, she had no reason not to. It was the first place she went to when she first got here too ! ... Yet something still stopped her from ever actually getting anything besides the occasional glass of water.

" I planned on making myself something when I got home anyhow ! "

[wshingwells]

" Where I'm from, we would put candles on the wider branches ! " So imagine her surprise when there was a lack of water buckets by the trees... Snow circles the tree once to make sure the places she could reach were amply decorated, before pausing by the step ladder, rocking back and forth on her heels with her hands clasped behind her back.

" It really is magical, all of these little lights ! All of the different colours I didn't even know were possible ! They're much easier to work with too, not having to worry about being burnt at all, or getting wax everywhere ! And the little baubles ! ! Goodness I really do love this time of year. "

[softspokenlibrarian]

“Candles… I can see why that would be a hazard, yes.”

If a little scary! Did some people still use those? He has a worried furrow to his brow but it’s nice to be in company that seems to have the same love for Christmas as he does at least.

And without realizing it he’s smiling much more, from ear to ear as he places a few more decorations. Although, he fears overdoing it, so he takes a cautious seat on the lower step of the stepladder now, intending to take a short break as she circles closer with seeming excitement.

“Christmas is such a wonderful time of year, though— and you can enjoy it more safely now. Have you, um. Decorated your own tree at home?” Small talk may not be his strong suit, but he’d love to hear about her traditions some more.

[wshingwells]

" It was usually fine ! Usually- " The princess shuddered a little at the brief memory of one of the smaller trees in the courtyard when she was a little girl. She learned very quickly just how fast a pine tree could be set alight that year...

Either way, Snow followed his lead in taking a bit of a pause, just sitting herself right down on the ground, fanning out her skirt in a circle around her.

" Oh, no ! I haven't ! I suppose I don't even know where I'd begin ! I-... Well I've never really been completely on my own before. " Sure, she was pretty much alone in the castle, thanks to her stepmother, but at least she had the occasional help from castle staff. ( even if they did get in trouble for even talking to her most of the time. ) This was the first time she had ever truly, wholly been by herself...

" Gosh, I didn't even think to do that ! Well-.. Have you ? "

[wshingwells]

The princess was grateful for the help up really, unsure if she'd ever get back on her own two feet on her own. After a solid few seconds of scrambling to balance, Snow pressed her side against the wall and twisted the corners of her lips into a frown.

" That makes the both of us then I suppose ! "

There was a touch on envy as she looked on at the people passing them by. The activity looked fun really, she just can't seem to get the hang of it ! ... No matter, there was an entirely new objective in Snow's mind now, and that was trying to at the very least, get on solid terms with the woman she about crashed into.

" Oh, I'm glad I didn't knock you over miss ! You've got quick reaction time ! Much better than I do anyways ! "

[tainted-chains]

She laughed, "I'm glad I'm not the only one, then. And yes, well, I'd like to think so. I've trained them long enough." The Warden held out a hand to help the woman steady herself a moment longer, then smiled, "I'm Ciara. Ciara Tabris. Warden-Commander Tabris, if you're feeling formal, but I don't think I need to stand on ceremony in this place." The elf chuckled, ears twitching slightly in amusement, adjusting her purchased coat with her free hand once she was sure that her new friend wouldn't fall over. "So I know why I decided to try my luck here--what made you do it?"

[wshingwells]

" Oh !! Why, I'm Snow White ! It really is lovely to meet you Lady Tabris ! I do wish it would've been under less- Well, icy conditions ! " Snow chuckled at her own words, gladly taking the offered hand. Warden Commander... Well the title certainly sounded important, and it was enough to make Snow almost use her proper princess title ! ( Even if that really didn't carry any weight here )

" But, it is nice nonetheless ! "

The girl couldn't help it when her eyes flickered to the twitching ears, but she did quickly divert back to Ciara's face. Don't be rude Snow White ! ...She was still getting used to so many different kinds of people, still totally fascinated by all of the different qualities everyone around her seemed to have.

" Well, everyone just looked so whimsical, gliding across the ice ! Why, it seemed easy from a viewer's standpoint ! Fun even ! I have been seriously corrected in that notion though haven't I ? "

[wshingwells]

Snow would've much preferred to just shape and bake the cookies herself, still intimidated by the modern machinery in this city... But the machine in question was absolutely fascinating to watch if nothing else, once she had figured it out. " Oh dear- "

The princess leaned over to peak at Shepard's discarded attempts. " Oh, I'm sure they're not- ... Hm. " She didn't want to lie and say they were good. Charming? Maybe, in their own way ! The good old ' if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing ' rang in her head like holiday bells... With pursed lips and hands clasped behind her back, Snow took a few steps the commander's way.

" Well that's certainly not going to get it working any better ! Maybe this one is just, finicky ? Perhaps you could try with something a little more simple ! "

[solspectre]

the sigh that comes from between clenched teeth is both annoyed and terse. eyes close as she brings a hand up to brush back messy bangs, eyes narrowing at the machine as Snow tries to offer some encouraging advice. it helps– a fraction, truthfully– and she exhales deeply and slowly, opting to tap her foot against the floor as her hands press the touch-screen once more.

" I could use these things to hang up as Halloween decorations." they would probably make some small little kid cry, too. Shepard just knows Wrex would be laughing his ass off if he was here, watching her fail again and again to design a cookie. she has a newfound respect for bakers who do this by hand– if a machine can mess up this badly, then what a person could do must take considerable skill.

" There's not many simple ways to turn aliens into cookie designs, Snow." another press of the screen and it scraps the work in progress, putting forth a fresh cookie to be decorated. simple, simple, simple.... " Okay, what about..." she murmurs the rest to herself, inputing the options and watching as the machine starts to decorate what was supposed to be Liara.

[wshingwells]

" Hm no- No I suppose not... Honestly I really would rather just do these by hand ! "

The princess twisted her face into a little frown, watching Shepard tap away on the screen. She wouldn't say any of it really made any sense to her, she just kinda hit buttons and hoped for the best. It only makes sense that the machine had an easier time making cookies shaped like bells and baubles than it did whole new beings.

" Are these meant to be cookies of your friends, Commander ? ... Family back home ? " Taking into account her rather peculiar canine companion, and the large man?... lizard..? Snow often saw with her... It would only make sense the designs Shepard was putting in were other people. " I'm sure they'd appreciate the effort at the very least ! "

[wshingwells]

SUNSET CIRCUIT ✧ RINK AROUND THE CIRCUITS @tainted-chains

Unstable. That was the best way to describe the princess currently as she wobbled along, arms outstretched the same way she would have them walking across the log to the cottage back home. She'd spent enough time just sitting and watching the pretty lights under the ice to work herself up and try it out for herself, but the actual movement part was proving to be much more difficult than it looks.

" Oh- Oh look out ! "

Snow wasn't clumsy, not any more so than the average person that is, but she just couldn't seem to move quick enough to avoid crashing into the elf in her travel path. The princess immediately fell backwards, hitting the ice with a pitiful squeak.

" Goodness me, I'm so sorry- ! I've never done anything like this before ! "

[tainted-chains]

Ciara also wasn't really interested in this sort of thing as a rule, but she was going out of her mind trying to escape, and she could practically hear Alistair reminding her to take some time for her. This was at least athleisure, so she was willing to accommodate it.

However, she grew up in Tevinter. Where it was hot.

The only reason she didn't collide into the princess in question was because she aborted and gripped onto a nearby railing for dear life as her feet went out from under her.

Her face flashed hot with embarrassment and she looked around, blissfully glad that no one she knew was around to see that graceless botch-job, then awkwardly tried to help the other woman up without turning this into a tangle of bladed feet, reaching down to help her up, "Not a problem, messere. I'm no good at this myself, if I'm being entirely honest."

[wshingwells]

The princess was grateful for the help up really, unsure if she'd ever get back on her own two feet on her own. After a solid few seconds of scrambling to balance, Snow pressed her side against the wall and twisted the corners of her lips into a frown.

" That makes the both of us then I suppose ! "

There was a touch on envy as she looked on at the people passing them by. The activity looked fun really, she just can't seem to get the hang of it ! ...
