Scarborough Fair (Ellie, Open)

[rayfrost]

Ray stood still, watching the young princess and listening politely. He was considering the technology as well as trying to figure things out. Planes? Helicopters? What strange contraptions... Ray lifted a gloved hand to his face, lightly rubbing his chin as he considered all this information.

It took him a bit to come to a conclusion, but he felt it was probably a good idea. He slowly focused his mind upon the happiest of times in his life, slowly rising from the ground. "Well, this is actually quite easy to do once you do it the first time..."

He then turned his gaze toward all three of them. "You know, it's been a long time since I last had companions... would any of you mind if I traveled with you? I'm afraid, with nowhere left to go, that I have no ties to anyone." He bowed, doing so quite well for somebody floating a foot off the ground.

He then looked at Antique, freezing a small rose of ice in the air before her. "Ah, M'lady, you but need to be yourself to be a Lady, for those are the purest and kind hearted ones." He smiled slightly, offering her his hand. "Now, M'lady Antique, would you mind dancing on air with me?" His previous smile turned into a mischievous grin.

"If you panic, you will fall just keep your eyes on your happy thoughts."

Antique nodded and brought her arms in to stop flailing. Okay. Happy thoughts. Cake, chocobo rides, running through Miles' rose garden, the faces of friends old and new...she focused on these until she noticed she was quite steady in the air. Her eyes widened in glee as she noticed; then everything became quite self sustaining. This was something out of a DREAM.

Maybe it was every human's dream to fly--but this--this was amazing! Delicately, she twirled in the air, her skirt fluttering about her. A delighted giggle escaped from her lips, a bit self-absorbed in what she was doing at the moment to really notice anything else. Then again, who wouldn't be?

"Antique, are you really a knight? In my world we don't have knights anymore, that's stuff of the medieval times. Now we have soldiers with guns and rifles and some swords"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I am!" she said. She blinked. "How can your world not have knights? You're a princess, right? You don't have knights?" she said, utterly confused. "What is mid-evil? And guns? Rifles? Huh?"

These were not concepts Antique knew. "Are those alchemic terms? I never did quite understand it." As far as she knew? This whole town ran on alchemic power and that robot had a tiny person in it dancing. She didn't know HOW the princess found a person that little to do it--then again, she had just found out fairy's existed...and, well, hey. Nobles had access to alooot of things.


"You know, it's been a long time since I last had companions... would any of you mind if I traveled with you? I'm afraid, with nowhere left to go, that I have no ties to anyone."

"There's not that much to Traverse Town," she said, twirling in the air with more elegance than she would have gave herself credit for, like the fluttering of a snowflake. "I wouldn't mind a new friend though!"

She watched him bow, and she stopped in midair awkwardly, swooping into a curtsie, to humor him.

A rose of ice formed in midair. Antique felt herself blush just a bit, then he offered a dance. She caught that grin of his; she couldn't help but laugh. She took his hand.

"Good sir, I'm warning you, I'm a very horrid dancer," she said, floating a little bit too much before her forehead knocked into his.

THUNK.

She pushed away lightly, rubbing her head with her free hand, laughing the entire time.

"I seem to lack grace!"

"Maybe you are from backward worlds?"

Her world was one where technology progressed faster than magic and almost everything was powered by electricity and science, and the worlds of blue noble and the perky knight were still stuck in a period of medieval fantasy, although it seemed like their magic was more advanced than in the princess's homeworld.

Suddenly Sir Frost and Lady Antique started dancing in the air. She found it quite fun and couldn't help but smile a little for the awkward performance of the couple of dancers and the mere idea of dancing in the air itself was something amusing. She waited until both of them finished with their dance before answering to the question Sir Frost made before.

"I would love to find some companions. I was thinking to travel to another worlds once I'm done with this, and I think it would be nice to have other people traveling with me. My gummy ship is HUGE, i can bring with me even giant fairies!"

She looked at her potential companions. A noble, a knight and a tinker fairy, no mater who accepted her proposal to travel to another worlds, it was going to be a new and enriching experience they would never forget. Also, she still needed to continue with her mission of unification between worlds and maybe introduce new technologies to the worlds she visited. The work of an ambassador never ends.

"I think I'm going to stay here for one or two weeks to see how is this world in detail, if you can't decide now tell me later, but don't wait too much or I'm leaving :3"

[rayfrost]

Ray laughed as he turned to face the princess, listening to her words. "I have nothing better to do, though I would first like to know more about this world as well. I thank you for accepting my offer."

He turned in the air, thinking as he looked about. As he came to a conclusion, he swiftly pivoted, facing the tinker fairy. "You know, you could probably see the worlds more easily if you don't have to fear being attacked."

As he left the offer open, he turned towards Antique. "As for you, M'Lady, I think I would like to meet this Jadis that you speak of. I am certain that all of us could learn much from what she has to say. Would you be so kind as to inform us when or if she will meet with us? I know you say she finds us, but... will she know we are looking in the first place?"

[antique]

"You know, you could probably see the worlds more easily if you don't have to fear being attacked."

"That's a pretty good idea," Antique mused. She wasn't exactly sure the full extent of Alena's power or fighting or self defense skills. Did that mean that Ray was opening himself up to a position to be the fairy's bodyguard? Antique wiggled in the air, barely able to contain just how cute that sounded. Sir Frosty, the protector of fae!

Her little dance (wiggle) was interrupted.

"Ah...uhm, honestly, I wouldn't mind just bringing you to her," she said, tilting her head.

Alena fluttered up before landing on Anya's shoulder thinking over traveling to other worlds. There wasn't much to this one so much she have seen. The shoulder was big enough for her to lay flat on her stomach with her feet kicking in the air. With her chin resting on her hands and flapping wings, she nodded liking the idea.

"What are other worlds like anyways? Are they filled with more pirates?" Alena asked curiously with a bit of cautious hesistations at the word 'pirates'. They were bullies on her world and did the typical pirating acts including disturbing the peace as well as capture fairies for fun.

[raiho]

"Thank you Sir Frost!"

Anya performed the V of victory signal with her right hand and before she could enjoy her success at earning a new companion, said nobleman mentioned something about a wise woman called Jadis, who seemed to be an acquaintance of Lady knight Antique

"Who is this madame Jadis of whom you are speaking about? Is she an empress? Because lady knight Antique talks like she served under her command before."

Done the question, something very cute happened: Alena the fairy landed on her shoulder and she was being extremely cute. It was hard to resist the talent Alena had to be cute and innocent, so Anya patted her diminutive fairy head and answered to her question.

"In my world pirates copy original things and sells them passing the imitations as the real thing. They would even sell fake fairies if they could, and that's bad for hard working people"

Pirates as known in underdeveloped world were already extinct in her world and her pirates were of the kind that committed piracy in the style of violating the copyright of the original authors.

[rayfrost]

Ray tipped his hat to the young princess in acknowledgment of her thanks before turning to look at the little fairy. "I wouldn't worry to much about pirates.. after all, you have protection from thugs and brutes." He winked slightly at the fairy, gently taking Antique's hand in his.

"Madame Antique, would you be so kind as to guide us to Jadis the witch?" Ray bowed courteously over her hand as he spoke, making it a formal request, though the set of his body made it joking despite the formality.

"You're mistaken, Princess!" Antique said. "I don't serve under her. I'm a King or Queenless Knight now," she said, her eyes getting dark for a few seconds, before she pointed her finger up. "Lady Jadis is my teacher," she said, smiling enthusiastically. "She's very wise. I think she may have been a ruler in another world," she said, nodding to herself. "But she's alot like a Queen! At least, I think so."

Ray took her hand in his and bowed. It was very odd for a nobleperson to do something like that to her.

"Ah, uhm...yes! I'll take you there right now," she said, as she skipped and started heading torward the second district.

((Did we want to open up another thread?))

"Nah, the pirates at home...just harrass, piledge, rob, steal, abduct, rip fairy wings...yeeeah not the nicest people...and they smell." That's one of the few things Alena won't miss about Neverland. Who loved pirates anyway? They're stinky, hairy, mean, and man are they uuugly.

The fairy walked on her toes like a ballerina in the air, "So you are off to see this witchy person? How come witch doesn't sound so niiiice?"

[raiho]

"Lady Jadis sounds like an interesting person, maybe I'll try to see her later."

She would eventually meet this wise former empress, but now it wasn't the proper time to do it, after all she still had to explore this new world and talk with the fellow tinkerer Alena the awesome fairy.

"That's so cruel! Why would those pirates rip apart the wings of cute fairies like you? Someday we should travel to your world and punish them!"

She patted the head of the little fairy and listened to her commentary about the witch empress. Well, it wasn't fair to leave the little fairy alone if she feared witches.

"I can't leave you alone. I'm gonna stay with you a little more and later check that empress witch person. I like you"

Somehow she felt a kindred soul in the fairy, she was too a tinkerer who pursued freedom. She wondered if the fairy felt the same

(Are we making new threads or what? I'm not certain on where we are going from here)

((I vote new thread! Orrrr we can just assume Antiquey is taking them to where she think Jadikiss would be.))
