Low Key Coincidence

Kada · Jun 5, 2018

Hella was nervous and acutely aware at the moment that she spent far too much time in her dorm room. But she preferred it. Being out and about made her nervous. At least she knew her dorm well enough that she felt safer.

She hadn't gone to class for the past couple of days, getting special permission because of the letter she had gotten. The letter she had read over and over again at least thirty times. Dead. Dead or missing. She knew it was Ebonyridge; it had to be.

Maybe Lynn would have some answers. Maybe not. She didn't seem to even know what Ebonyridge was. But Hella couldn't know that for sure.

Lynn walked around until she was able to find Hella's dorm. Hella's dorm room number was still written on her arm in marker after all.

So Lynn sorta broke the second rule Loki set already. Great. It was by accident which made Lynn feel all the more worse. Usually when she breaks rules it was on purpose.

Still Lynn was a bit dazed? Confused? Curious? She actually wasn't sure how she felt about this entire thing with Hella. Well yeah she felt sorry for her but...she barely knows her.
Hella's problems was, Hella's problems. Lynn doubt there was much she could do anyway.

"Get involved he said...." Lynn gritted her teeth. This was probably not what her father had in mind when he told her that.

Once she found her way to Hella's dorm, Lynn gave a few ryhthmic knocks.

Hella jumped at the sound of knocking, her hand going to Skredder's handle before she calmed herself. It was probably just Lynn. A quick check at the peep hole on the door confirmed this, and Hella quickly opened the door to let the other girl in. She was so lost in everything that had happened, she nearly forgot her manners.

"Than- ah, good to see you. Come in."

Once they were alone, the awkward silence settled. Hella coughed to try and break it and work up her courage. "So, ah. Would you like some tea? I think we have cola as well, if that's more your taste. Or water..." More silence.

Lynn took a step into Hella's dorm after taking a bit to make sure nothing was following. Nothing like bugs or animals, she is usually fine with it but Lynn assumed that it would be rude to just bring them into Hella's dorm.

Hella's awakwardness was actually a bit okay. Lynn wasn't sure how to act about all of this other than awkward anyway.

Talking about these things seemed to work better when they were in a public space....now it's all silence and awakward.

"I would like some tea...." Lynn took note of the "we" bit. Which caused her to immediately look around for someone else. This was a dorm so...Hella probably had a roommate too.

"We are here alone right?"

Kada · Jun 7, 2018

"Yes, we're alone," Hella said simply as she moved to the kitchenette and put water on to boil. She stood at the counter and watched Lynn nervously.

"So, uh. What is Asgard like? I mean, you've been there right?" Small talk. Awkward small talk. But Hella didn't want to start drilling Lynn with questions. But that was why they were here, wasn't it? She looked at the ceiling momentarily.

"We could do a question for a question, maybe? I ask, you ask? If that seems fair."

Alone. Good. That means no need to worry about some random person learning things Lynn didn't want them to now.

"Oh. Asgard is nice.....It got boring though. Just a lot of old folk waiting for this and that to happen to kick start Ragnarok. Which is stupid." Lynn sighed and became visibly more relaxed. Talking about home calmed any paranoia she was starting to feel.

"It's a very beautiful place. We got buildings made of crystals, Bifrost, and all sorts of magical goodies. Asgardian weapons are one of the best after all."

Lynn mumbled something in Old norse and in a few seconds, her flute appeared in her hands. She was...totally showing off.

"Anyway enough about home..." Lynn desummoned Fygg and then looked over to Hella.

"I don't have...much to ask yet? I'm honestly not sure what I even want to ask about.....other than..." Lynn paused and frowned.

"Am I an Ebonyridge Elf?"

Kada · Jun 8, 2018

Hella was smiling as she listened. She had always hoped to see Asgard someday, if only to rub it in her father's face that she was welcomed in beforb him. Now she'd never get the chance.

Her smile widened when Lynn asked her first question, though it was by no means a pleasant expression. Wild and a bit unhinged, the edges of her mouth stretched wider than they had any right to.

"I don't know," she admitted. "You look like one. Kind of. They..."

Hella trailed off as she heard the water boiling. She grabbed her tea pot, tea leaves, etc. and set to actually making the tea. While she did, she continued.

"The Elves of Ebonyridge are impossibly tall and resemble birds of prey. The oldest and most powerful have beaks instead of lips. Feathers for hair. Talons for hands and feet. Wings for ears. Piercing yellow eyes, like an owl's."

Then she explained the Queene. Whereas all of the other Elves were blacks and grays and browns, she alone strutted around like a peacock with her mane of brilliant, shining feathers and her long ears as sharp as swords. Her eyes were solid black, like cut obsidion.

Hella gave Lynn her cup of tea with a smile. "So you can imagine why I jumped to the conclusion of you being one of them."
There was an awkward pause, and then, "They've taken everything from me but my life."

Lynn fidgetted a bit. So technically yes, she did look like one of these elves though not as much. Considering that Lynn is half fae maybe that's why she doesn't have all the tra- wait no.

Lynn was Lynn.

It still didn't help that Lynn did share some trait with these elvess.

"They sound like....something my dad would tap..." she joked a bit and let out an awkward laugh. The joke was clearly inappropiate but that was not going to stop Lynn from digging at him, even if he wasn't here.

"I could just call and ask but...." Lynn let out a sigh.
"He might force me to go back to Asgard. I don't know, he was very clear on the whole keeping it a secret I'm fae and don't look for my mom."
Which the last part is nearly impossible to do since Lynn had zero information about her. Not even a name.

Taking her tea, Lynn still could only feel bad. Seriously bad. She did not understand what Hella was going through at all. Lynn didn't really have a hard life at all and was pretty much sheltered the entire time she lived in Asgard.

However that does not mean she can't help Hella in some way.

"Well what do they want from you? Maybe we could try to.....try to...." Lotta blanks here. These folk did not seem like the easy type.

"Maybe I could.....something. They are from Norway right? That's basically Asgardian territory....I could do something! I'm royal blood....."

Hella frowned a bit at Lynn's suggestion. "That's very sweet of you to offer, but I don't know..." she admitted.

This girl was very much not looked the Ebonyridge Elves with how she acted. She was almost... timid? It could all be an act, maybe. Hella couldn't rule that out.

"I don't think I can save my sisters anyhow. They've... been there a lot longer than I was. And even as short a time as I was there, I got changed."

Hella willed her eyes to change, giving them their inky black appearance. "This was from nearly three months. My sisters have likely been there..." she did some quick math based on what she knew. "a year and a half, relatively speaking. And besides-"

Hella blinked, trying to force her eyes back to normal. But they wouldn't change back. She could feel it and just decided to give up. It would go away on its own. "And besides, why would you help me? What do you... get out of it?"

Bloos · Jun 18, 2018

Lynn took a hesistant step back when Hella's eyes changed. In fact she immediately summoned Fygg and took a very defensive stance with the flute.

"Oh. For a second I thought you got possessed..." Lynn let out a sigh and then desummoned Fygg. Once she became less tense and was positive no funky magic shit was going on, she finally gave a response.

"That doesn't mean you can just abandon them....change isn't permanent. If they are worth saving then you should at least try to save them."
Lynn nodded mostly to herself. If Odin was watching, he would totally be proud right? Maybe.

"Why would I help?" Lynn tilted her head. She wasn't sure why she would help. This just seemed like more trouble than it needed to be especially since it involved Fae. Lynn had more to lose than what she had to gain from helping.

"Well because if I help you then you can help me la-" Lynn immediatly paused. What was she saying?? No. That's not how getting friends work.

"...that's something my dad would say." She grumbled to herself.

Okay. Second attempt.
"I get your friendship out of this?"
