[thirty six] What the actual fuck.

[goodgrasshopper]

Faeries are not like that.

Faerie Godmothers are nothing like that.

What kind of crappy Disney bullshit was that?

Karrin. You're needed in the infirmary.

It would have been nice if that was all this port was, yeah. You weren't affected by that absurdness?

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

No, but I was forced into taking on a dragon that would have been better served by having a pig thrown it every week instead of slaughtered with fire and sword.

If I had known that everyone wasn't their exact inverse in competence, I wouldn't have let one of us [she has enough tact to not name names] guide us through the woods.

Fairy godmother sounds worse, though. Much worse.

[goodgrasshopper]

It was... ridiculous. I've met a faerie godmother--she wasn't mine, fortunately. What I was there was nothing like the reality.

[She can go with them being the real thing: some of those creatures Souji pulled out were fae enough.] Does every wish have unintended consequences?

[goodgrasshopper]

It depends on who you're dealing with, and how you word it. If they offer you a deal, they have to keep it--but you have to be very careful accepting any deal with the fae. It's in their nature to try to trick and trap mortals.

And you were like the ones in children's movies, right? Everyone in town wanted me to act like that.

[goodgrasshopper]

Yes, I was. It was... [shudder] Well. You know. You were there. How was the port for you?

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

I was supposed to kill a dragon as part of some prophecy from generations past. I wanted to take him home.

[goodgrasshopper]

[That makes Molly laugh.] So... was it, like, a baby dragon?

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

Very young, with a young... I'd say she was his owner. Amazing how people make assumptions based on footprints and missing sheep.

[goodgrasshopper]

It is, isn't it? I take it you didn't kill the poor creature.

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

[She looks offended for a brief moment, but wipes it away like she's being a little too sensitive.] ...the mayor wasn't particularly pleased when I returned with the suggestion that they leave a sheep tied up in a certain spot every week.

[goodgrasshopper]

[Molly smiles a little.] See, I think that's a pretty reasonable suggestion. Much better than murdering some kid's pet baby dragon.

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

[She nods quickly.] For such a gentle place, it really was rather bloodthirsty.

[goodgrasshopper]

I guess that depended on who you were. I was apparently the fairy godmother of non-lethal weapons.

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

[She smiles.] Really? What you wanted to give, or what people wished for?

[goodgrasshopper]

People wished for weapons. One got a singing sword, and the other got a scepter that produced water. He did claim that it was for a unicorn orphanage that was on fire.
