First Snowflake

[sugarwaffo]

[The lobby has an unexpected visitor this afternoon, though she might be easy to miss. A tiny little girl lays curled up on one of the tabletops, tucked next to a book. Two wings peek out from behind her back. She's asleep, but not for long!

The little fairy slowly pulls herself up and lets out a big YAWN as she stretches.]

Using magic last night made me hungry. I wonder what’s for breakfast!

[The thought of food makes her smile brightly. But her expression morphs into confusion as she starts to notice her surroundings. Hopping onto her feet, Sugar walks closer to the edge of the table and looks out across the lobby.]

Huh? This isn’t where I went to sleep…

((Intro post! Open via journal or action. Her journal is nearby -- Sugar just hasn’t noticed yet.))

Re...si...dent? [What is this word you speak of, Mr. Book?]

Trapped? What do you mean trapped?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

It means someone who lives in this place.

Don't you worry, we'll all find a way out eventually, but for now, this is where we get dragged...or sent. I haven't figured it out yet.

[sugarwaffo]

So this is my home now?

[She doesn't seem as worried as you'd expect a child away from home to be. Perhaps because she was already looking for a new place to stay in the Human World. Plus most of what he said went over her head.]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

It is, and it's not half bad. I've been to worse places.

[sugarwaffo]

Oh good! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to choose a place, and it turns out one's been chosen for me!

[That makes her life much easier.]

But Mr. Bo-- Mr. Resident, who brought me here?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Choose a place?

I'm not all that sure on that myself. [He still has a feeling MiM had something to do with it, but that doesn't answer what brought the others here] Some people here say it's the castle itself that does it.

[sugarwaffo]

Uh huh. To further my training as an apprentice season fairy, I need to find a place to live in the Human World.

Wait, this is a castle? [How exciting!]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

A...season fairy? [Quietly amused] Have you chosen a season yet? Or does that get chosen for you?

It is, it's not on Earth...er the Human World, though. It's somewhere else. Haven't figured out exactly where yet.

[sugarwaffo]

Yup! I'm gonna be a snow fairy! Just like my dear Mommy.

2/2

[sugarwaffo]

What? Oh no! [Sugar is clearly distressed.]

How am I supposed to finish my training if I'm not in the Human World?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I'm sure Jack would approve. [Ugh snow]

We get sent back to the exact time we left, eventually, I'm told. So for now, I guess you can do whatever you want to.

[sugarwaffo]

Who is Jack? [Hush. Snow is the best.]

Whatever I want? [Sugar's eyes widen at the possiblities.] Could I sleep in and play all day?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Jack Frost. He's a winter spirit. Brings the frost and snow.

[He laughs] Deadset, anything you want at all.

1/2

[sugarwaffo]

Oh! So he's another snow fairy?

[Oh boy, anything she wants! Sugar can hardly wait. She could sleep until noon! She could eat 10 meals a day! She could--]

[sugarwaffo]

Hey! Don't do that! Distracting me from my training like that.

[Ignoring the fact that it was total her who was making herself distracted.]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Wow, he has a chance here. Tell it like it is or have the opportunity for someone to call Jack a fairy] ...Yes. That's exactly what he is. He's a snow fairy.

You can train here if you like. Nothing's stopping you.

dies laughing

[sugarwaffo]

Oh boy! When can I meet him? [Getting advice from a full-fledged snow fairy would be so helpful!]

Ah, right. Eheheh... [Embarrassed, Sugar rubs the back of her neck.] You think it'll still work if I'm not in the Human World?

B)

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I don't rightly know. If he every shows up here, I'll let you know.

Why not? There are humans here.

[sugarwaffo]

He's not here?

Right! And if there are humans, there must be twinkles!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

No. He's back home. [He sounds pretty happy about that]

...Those little deserts with the cream in them?

1/2

[sugarwaffo]

Aww... [She sounds much more disappointed. But maybe Bunny wouldn't want Jack separated from his other friends?

Yes. That must be it.]

[sugarwaffo]

Twinkles are dessert?!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Yes. That's totally it]

People eat them after meals. Or snacks.

[sugarwaffo]

Wooow~! Are they tasty? Are twinkles tasty?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

You've never tried one? And I usually keep away from sweet things.
