[ Oh, look! It’s the blue-haired girl again. She’s outside her castle again, this time in the bigger backyard, and somewhere behind her is her sister, Snow. It’s not quite obvious just yet, but Snow is talking to someone and the conversation sounds delightful. Grinning at her sister for a moment, Evie turns to look at the FluxPhone. ]

So, not only did I get my bike, but we have a new housemate.

[ And Evie sounds fairly excited. She needed a few days to adapt to the idea, sure. But she got there quick. Snow is happy, so Evie’s happy. Turning to look at her sister, she speaks to snow. ]

Would you like to introduce your friend, Snow?

Oh! Why hello there! It's so nice to see you! I would like to introduce my new friend. Come here, dear.

[A black wolf comes into view. Yes, a wolf, not a dog.]

Everyone, this is Alarick! Isn't he adorable!

[The wolf, for his part, looks bashful. Yes, the wolf looks bashful.]

Alarick is such a sweet boy, it was such a wonderful surprise for him to just pop out of the box.

[Evie turns to grin at the FluxPhone’s camera again as Alarick comes trotting over, nudging the palm of her free hand to get her attention. ]

Yes, you’ll eat soon. Just wait.

[ She doesn’t speak to the animals like Snow does, but she recognizes a hungry animal when she sees one. ]

He was most certainly a shock.

[ A good one, if the soft smile on her face is any manner of tell. ]

I think this might be Snow’s surprise, as mine is in the driveway of my castle. What did everyone else get when we changed over to Wechester City?

[ A huff from the adorable wolf and Evie sighs, raising one eyebrow as if to say ‘my fairy godmother, can you believe this?’ before she turns her feed off, the last shot the phone showing of Alarick trotting along beside Evie as she heads inside. ]


[ ooc: evie is blue. snow is red. ]

I'd never heard of anyone speaking to animals before I met you. I didn't even know it was a possibility.

[onebadapple]

Everything is a possibility! We're here, after all, and I should be dead!

[learningtolove]

.............Dead?

[Had he heard that right???]

[onebadapple]

Oh yes, I was poisoned just before arriving here by my stepmother.

[learningtolove]

Why would she do such a thing?

[Snow is like sunshine incarnate. Who could have been so cruel as to want to do away with the girl?]

[onebadapple]

The huntsman said it was out of jealousy, but I don't know what she was jealous of! She's queen, after all!

[learningtolove]

People who are jealous of others usually do it because the other person has a quality they lack.

[Pretty insightful but Beast's learned a thing or two about how to view other people during his time being cursed.]

[onebadapple]

That is a very wise thing to say, Beast. I just hope that my stepmother comes here, if I am to be honest. I do not think it would go well for anyone.

[learningtolove]

No, it does not sound like it would. She sounds like she is very-- [He tries to think of a diplomatic way to put this, given the woman is still Snow's stepmother.] --unstable.

[onebadapple]

Well, she did at least one thing right, she gave me my precious baby stepsister!

[learningtolove]

Family is very important to you, isn't it?

[onebadapple]

Oh yes. I never really had one growing up, my mother died in childbirth and my father when I was very young while my stepmother...

Well, I'm very glad to consider the dwarfs like my family, they're my very dear friends. But I hope to have lots and lots of children.

[learningtolove]

I'm sure you'll make a great mother.

[He means that sincerely. Snow seems like she has a lot of love to give.]

[onebadapple]

Thank you, it is truly my fondest wish. [AND YET, DISNEY KEEPS DENYING HER THE CHANCE TO RAISE HER OWN KIDS.]

[learningtolove]

I never really had parents either. My servants were the ones who really raised me. But I am not sure if I would make a good father even if I did have a child.

[What if any child of his turned out just as spoiled and unkind as he himself had been when he was young?]

[onebadapple]

Oh, that was very nice of them. But you know, I think you would make a very good father. You know exactly what not to do! And that's just as important as knowing what to do!

[learningtolove]

Is it? [But the more he thinks about it, the more that it seemed to make sense. Snow was just full of good little bits of wisdom it seemed.] I never really thought of it that way.

[onebadapple]

Sometimes you just need help in seeing a new perspective!

[learningtolove]

You are very good at that.

[onebadapple]

I have had some practice with finding the positive side in very difficult situations. [Like being raised as a servant in your own castle and anyone trying to help you being thrown in the dungeon. Stuff like that.]
