What the fuck is going on?!

[Just outside the bar, Eithan is pacing back and forth, hands on his hips (when not running through his hair), eyes wide and expression frantic. He looks confused, pissed off, blindsided and very much agitated. It'd probably take a miracle to properly calm him down at the moment.

... Oh. And he's wearing a dress.]

Who the fuck goes around tellin' a whole goddamn town that his son can spin straw into gold? Are you fuckin' serious?! And now they want me to do it! And the fuckin' queen is involved!! I mean, did he not see that comin'?! Fuck. ... Fuck!

[Practically seething, he leans against a convenient wall, arms crossed, sulking.]

Comments

[Hey, that convenient wall happens to be that of the wall of Crowley's room, thankyouverymuch. The demon pokes his head out of the door looking a touch grumpy.]

You woke me up.

[punkblaze]

Oh. Uh. Sorry.

[He steps away from the wall. Still, he's ticked, and just standing isn't doing anything to help that. He starts pacing again, muttering to himself.]

This is such bullshit.

[eyesofaserpent]

[He rolls his shoulders and leans in the door jam.]

Alright, I'll bite. What's with the getup?

[punkblaze]

I don't even know! [He's waving his arms and making grand gestures as he talks.] Suddenly, my world's backpedaled a few centuries and my father's some peasant or somethin'. And he's tellin' people I can do somethin' I can't - that no one can - and now I'm in fuckin' trouble for it.

[eyesofaserpent]

Odd... Machinations of the Machine, probably?

[punkblaze]

Probably. But geez, it's got a really stupid fuckin' sense of humor. [Sulkity sulk...!</i.]

[eyesofaserpent]

It's the same sense of humor that stole my sunglasses and made me a weak human. [POUT]

[Morgana gallops in, having lucked out with her armour being not at all unlike her usual fighting clothes.]

...Eithan? [She covers her mouth to hide the laugh.] It is a very nice look on you.

[punkblaze]

Ha ha. Ha. Yes, green's my color. Brings out all the red. [grumblemumble...! Ah well. It's still nice to have people to talk to, even if he gets laughed ats. ]

Nice horse, though.

[ex_oneiromancer912]

Thank you. [She hops down, very happy with herself.] Apparently, I am the Crown Prince Morgan. I had no idea being the Crown Prince was so rewarding. [Now she understands why Arthur never gave it up.] The kingdom is entirely unfamiliar to me, though, and I have yet to see Arthur or Gwen.

[punkblaze]

Yeah, pretty sure crown princes have awesome lives. [He grins a little.]

But, your world's been changed too? Weird. I don't know what the hell's goin' on, but I really don't appreciate gettin' locked up.

[ex_oneiromancer912]

Why were you imprisoned? [Her eyes flicker over the dress. Surely not because he has dressed like a woman??]

[punkblaze]

Because apparently in this new world thing, my dad's a fuckin' idiot. [SIGH.]

He told people I could spin straw into gold. So everyone believed it, includin' the queen. And she's thrown me into some stupid room with a spinning wheel and a bunch of straw, and if I don't turn it all into gold by mornin', I'm dead.

[This is unpleasant. Very much unpleasant. This time Hiccups KNOWS something is so not right... If the change in his environment wouldn't be enough, his ridiculious outfit (http://www.edfringe.com/uploads/event/rumpelstiltskin_23281.jpg) definitely is. So after some heavy freaking, he decided to go to the only place that might not have changed: the Plane.

He was just wondering around when he heard the loud complaining about some straw, and gold. What was strange, since... He kinda knew how to do that. Maybe. Thus, after just staring, he slowly gets closer to the strange lady, and hesitantly tugs on her dress. Since, now Hiccup is... well, is not much taller than an average human's knee. Yes, that could have been another sign that something is seriously messed up again.]

Ah--- yoooou are not a lady.

[punkblaze]

[Eithan looks down at the kid - short person? - thing in weird clothing? - something and quirks an eyebrow, then grumbles.]

Yeah, I'm not. Thank you for noticin'.

[He does smooth out the skirt of his dress, though.]

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

It's fine, really, I meet a lot of men in woman clothing... All the time.

[Hiccup just continues staring at him though. But somehow, there is this very-very hard urge to help out this person. And that necklace looks appealing too.]

Uuuh, I, uh... [Hiccup squints one of his eyes, being extremely... freaked out. Still.] As I heard you are in trouble, right? So, this might sound a biiit, um, a lot unbelievable, but I think I could maybe help you. You know, if you want it... But if don't, it's fine! I mean it's your life I guess, but on the other hand I really haven't met anyone who could spin gold from anything, let alone from straw, it's hard work, and, well, pretty... hard. Too. Yes.

[But then how he himself knows?! Hiccup goes a bit pale.]

[punkblaze]

Oh really? ... Just what kind of places are you hangin' out, then?

[But then he mentions spinning gold, and Eithan's eyes go wide.] Whoa! You can... you can do that? Seriously?! And... you'd help me?

[He's calming down. Whether it's from relief, or from the fairy tale persona slipping in, is anyone's guess.]

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

I... can do that. Yeah, I can. [Even Hiccup himself can't really believe it, but he... knows he is capable of spinning gold.] Apparently some very hidden talent of mine... So much hidden it's only recently got discovered. The Gods sure can be funny.

Aaaanyway, yep! I would help! Though I-- I uh... I will ask something in retuuuuuurn... Er, uuuh necklace maybe. [Says it carefully since he is sure this person won't really do that. Why would he?]

[punkblaze]

[Thaaaat sounds suspicious. But... he's desperate. He's getting the sense that this is the only way he's going to survive this, that anything else he could come up with just wouldn't work. No, this has to be it. And he'll pay whatever price. Especially since...]

I'm wearing a--? [He looks down at the rather sparkly pendant around his neck, growls a bit and unceremoniously pulls it off over his head and glares at it in his hand.] Geez, what is with this get-up?! Ugh. Yeah, sure, you can have it. Just keep the queen from takin' off my head!

[ravenchaser.livejournal.com]

[Gin looks surprised at first, then starts to smirk in amusement.

Oh, as if he weren't a sight himself, sporting mix-and-match wolf features on his otherwise human body.]

It sounds profitable, if nothing else.

[punkblaze]

If someone could do it. Which I can't. So there's no profit whatsoever, and now I'm gonna die for it.

[Sulkity sulk, sulk...]

[ravenchaser.livejournal.com]

It was a lie? ... your father sounds like he craved the attention.

Fake your own death, then. Run away, change your appearance.

Don't let them kill you. Have you been captured?

[punkblaze]

Yep. [Mumblemutter] The queen found me, put me in this room, and I can't get out. No windows, just the one guarded door. Only stuff in there's a bunch of straw and a spinning wheel.

[ravenchaser.livejournal.com]

Do you have a pair of socks?

[Yes, this is relevant.]

[punkblaze]

[Buh?]

Uhh... no?
