♛ 10th Curious Thought [Video] Day 416 || Fierce Allies Part I

[Having spent the night of the funeral at the Ice Rink with a sleepover, Alice was quite bright-eyed and chipper in the morning. And when she awoke to beautiful talking flowers? Why, it felt like home! Alice had been speaking with them all morning when she went home to her garden.

That wasn't of course why she was making her post. The funeral had got her to thinking about everything going on in Asgard. Marigold, her dragon was in her lap and seemed to be purring alongside some tiger lilies. Lady bell, her gryphon was napping not too far in the background.]

Shush now, please. [She said to the flowers first and they made soft noises of protest.] We'll continue our conversation in moment... [Alice assured them which seemed to placate most of the flowers.]

I know... a lot of people left not too long ago, not just that, but a lot of natives are getting hurt too. And now... with Mr. Odin asleep...

[Maybe she should have started this differently.]

What I mean to say is...

["Deep breaths," a poppy reached out with a leaf resting it on Alice's hand. Alice did just that.]

I should start over. What I'm trying to say is, with so many of us coming and going, and the gods always under attack alongside the rest of us, our allies in Vanaheim and Alfheim in the same situation, I thought, perhaps we should have allies who are a bit more...

Well... not a bit... who are quite a lot more terrifying.

Dragons, that is.

These dragons. [Here she held up a book from the grand library picturing one of the dragons of Yggdrasil to the bracelet.] This is a dragon of this world. And I've been studying what little there is written on them. They're incredibly intelligent and very powerful. Apparently, not too long ago, Surt and Thiazi had some as allies. I say had for a reason.

What if we could get them to become our allies? I'm sure if we made a convincing enough case, or plea, or... something they might join our side! Now, I know the books, and probably the gods, will even say that the dragons, the real ones and not ones we draw, are next to impossible to find.

That's why I propose a second idea! What if we drew dragons, dragons that looked exactly like the Yggdrasil dragons, same size and everything to go looking for the other dragons! With the way Yggdrasil is changing, nothing could survive better than a dragon! Plus, if it's another dragon, the real dragons will be easier to find! We could attach our messages to our drawn dragons and send them to every nook and cranny in Yggdrasil! One of them is bound to find at least one of them if we have enough!

And if nothing else, we'll have some very big, some very strong giant hand-drawn dragons on our side even if we can't get the real dragons to help us!

["You did very well, dear," the flowers all seemed to agree and Alice thanked them. She snapped her fingers, as if just remembering something]

OH! And I should mention, the flowers, they're harmless, talkative, but completely harmless! Or as harmless as most flowers actual are. They're very big on manners though, so please be polite to them. They're not fond of rudeness.

((OOC: SO! This is the official start of the Fierce Allies plot! The log for the making of the dragons will be in early April! Full details can be found here. You don't need to sign up if you want to participate, it's just a general idea of who might want to join in!))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh! Yes, in stories about how they always mine for jewels and gold! Do you think dwarfs and dragons dislike each other because of that?

Well, they're here now. You could come to visit my garden, if you like.

If they have some sort of conflict between themselves, I suppose that would make sense.

I would love to! That is if they don't become perpetually confused by the both of us.

[Although she's pretty sure this is your fault.]

[It is her fault.]

Oh now, I'm sure they won't confuse the two of us. Our petals are too different, you know.

They are! That won't make it any less disappointing they wmay brush me off. Even the violet and larkspur.

I don't think they would brush you off.

["No no, not in the slightest!" several of the flowers closest to Alice said.]

There, see. So you will come over, won't you?

[Thank you, flowers, you boost her confidence so.]

Oh, good!

[That sounded a little too excited. Much more subdued-]

Good. Of course I will.

[Alice grinned, hearing that excitement.]

I'll have our favorite tea ready.

Give me a few minutes and I will bring Koyuki.

[ALL OF THE ANIMALS.]

You can meet Nightshade!

I would love to meet Nightshade!

Then I shall see you soon.

((OOC: We can action or handwave, your choice!))

[Alice had gotten her tea set ready, as well as the tea. She laid a blanket out in the garden while the flowers commented on the pretty colors in it and that Alice should be careful not to wrinkle her petals. When she heard the knock on the door, she quickly got up and went to answer it.]

[Accompanied with a very squirmy puppy, who's far too excited about all of the smells around her.

Alice has managed to keep her relatively calm up until now, so she gets cradled to her chest.]

[Alice opened the door, and, so excited to see the older girl, she hugged her. Of course, the hug was followed by a very loud cry of glee at the sight of the puppy.]

OHHH! HE'S SO CUTE!

[She gets away with a hug, etc. Alice tries not to release Koyuki too quickly as the little puppy clamors to lick the little girl's face once she's in the nearest vicinity. It's cute.

But these two like animals quite a bit, so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise.]

Oh, good grief, Koykui, you act as if you haven't seen another person before!

[Okay, fine. As soon as she starts to bark and whine, Alice releases the little dog. She should teach her not to jump, but Koyuki's too happy.]

[The littler Alice was just as excitable as the dog as she was quick to pick up the white fluff ball and hold him close and tight. The puppy licks her face and she pets him under his chin and behind his ears. She set him down and then looked around, plucking an all black kitten from her position on the table nearby.]

This is Nightshade! Nightshade, this is Miss Alice.

[Nightshade was too busy eying the white ball of fur to be any sort of friendly.]

Nightshade is actually very good with dogs. [Since they had the horse of a dog that Rory owned.] She's just... a bit nervous is all.

[That makes the older Alice a bit wounded, as Koyuki almost scampers in the room. Alice is quick enough to scoop her up. The puppy is a little bit bigger, but Alice won't risk frightening a little kitten.

Not until she got a good scent and vice versa. She'll just have to deal with being cradled in her arms, that's all. Alice smiles faintly and the other Alice will know this.]

She looks like Dinah when she was much younger, almost.

[Nightshade will be friendly soon, Alice, fret not. Said kitten, in fact, is quite content to stay in older Alice's arms. Her nails dug into her pinafore.]

She does! Her eyes are a different color though, and Dinah's face was rounder. But Nightshade is just as sweet and almost as clever.

[It feels surreal holding a kitten again. She remembers how they used to purr, how they couldn't stop purring up until the reach a certain age. The look on her face is wide-eyed as much as the kitten's. Good lord it's cute, as she scratches underneath the left side of her chin. She doesn't see Koyuki making rounds in little Alice's room.

Huff.]

I don't think any cat could be as clever as Dinah.

[Wait, Koyuki.]

Koyuki, come back here!

Cheshire might beg to differ. [Alice suddenly giggled as Koyuki ran off.]

It's alright! Besides, there's tea! He'll come back when he's had his fill of the house!

[Up until Koyuki decides to chew on something, Alice figures. She keeps that comment to herself as she leans down to place the kitten gingerly down and after that, Alice starts venturing into the room quietly.]

You'll have to forgive her, then, she's been getting more and more spirited as time goes on. She even cornered Bunny when I was sure she wouldn't.

And he didn't take that kindly.

[Which she means to say that freaked him out.]

Well, I'm sure with time she'll get used to Bunny! But he's so big! I can't see how he would have been cornered in the first place? His foot is bigger than her.

[Hey, little sis, you want to know a secret?

She even glances around before even taking a seat and back to the little girl. This reminds her of when her elder sister gossiped with her as a child.]

He is, twice my size, even. I suppose even a giant rabbit cannot squash their fear of dogs, even the most little. All Koyuki wanted to do was play with him and she had him cornered.

[She says it with the straightest face, but hey, it is funny. Even Alice laughed.]

[At first, Alice bit her lip to try and stop the laugh. But it wormed it's way up through her nose to make a snorting sort of laugh that just caused her to let go. Bunny? Running around, from such a tiny dog? She's in fits.]

[It is funny.

She smiles, which is the closest she gets to laughing herself, outside of a gentle sigh. She's happy to see her laugh and it'll be a good memory for when she's really upset.]
