[centre][b][h1]Kieran, tabitha, Caity[/h1][/b][/centre] Slightly more comfortable, Kieran looked down at his hand intertwined with Tabi's and gave it his best poker face. He looked at Mika without batting an eye and acted like holding hands with a random girl was an everyday thing. Kieran truly has no shame, so it didnt embarress him in the least. [color=0076a3]"Yea we know eachother. We are long time soul mates, having known each other since birth practically. We have gone on many epic quests, and even conquered the dragons lair."[/color] Kieran chuckled at Tabi's reaction. [color=0076a3]"This land of magic and fairies is just our next conquest."[/color] Kieran sighed slightly. [color=0076a3]"Sorry Tabi didnt mean to nearly give you a heart attack, we actually havent known each other very long we met briefly before we were spirited away to her."[/color] Kieran held up his and Tabi's intertwined hand. [color=0076a3]"This....well its more of safety thing you know? Dont wanna get zapped away again. Tabi is keeping me safe."[/color] Kieran extended his other hand towards Mika. [color=0076a3]"My name is Kieran, and this is Tabi."[/color] Mika observed the pair in front of her, a sort of half smile growing on her face. She didn't want to freak them out too much, she didn't have any idea what the future held. She could need their assistance in the future and she didn't want them thinking she was some half-wit.  "[color=fdc68a]You know, my Nooki used to tell me that stories are just truths from a different perspectives. Perhaps you're just a little more in touch with those perspectives than the rest of us.[/color]" Mika said. "[color=fdc68a]And where are you lot from? Judging from the fact that you aren't wearing ten layers to protect yourselfs from the oncoming storm, I'd say somewhere warm. The majority of you were, perhaps you all had a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wouldn't that be an interesting puzzle. You have the majoirty of the pieces, and decide to take some from another just to see if they fit?[/color]" Mika was aware she was rambling, and she cut herself off with a shake of her head. "[color=fdc68a]I apologize, I was informed that the spirits, while normally cryptic, normally have a lot more of a systematic approach to things. Perhaps that was whistful thinkings of someone who had more faith in the supernatural than the human race.[/color]" Mika said, taking Kieran's hand and shaking it firmally.  "[color=fdc68a]It is truly a pleasure to meet the two of you.[/color]" She smiled warmly at both of them, finishing her external reflection of an inner turmoil. Tabitha shifted slightly as the woman mistook them holding hands as something else, and looked up when Kieran wove a story, rocking back slightly and just listening for now, poking her tongue out at him when he laughed at her. Glancing back to the woman, she gave her a small smile, trying to seem a little more...normal, but that never seemed to work anyway. [color=coral]"I think its more the otherway around"[/color] she said softly, looking to Mika when she spoke, [color=coral]"Thats funny. I think the same with artwork"[/color] she said, shrugging.  She looked down at her clothes, giving another shrug, [color=coral]"Well, yeah, but I don't tend to dress for weather"[/color] She said, [color=coral]"Cause thats no fun"[/color] She smiled brightly, then shrugged again, [color=coral]"Who knows why they brought us here, from where we were? maybe it doesn't have to do with location but...attraction? maybe they saw something in each of us. Don't know what, though"[/color]  She frowned, [color=coral]"Are you saying you've had experience with this type of thing before?"[/color] She asked, and then began to worry slightly. What if her more eccentric drawings were...influenced from things? Kieran narrowed his eyebrows, realizing he basically just walked straight into crazy town, bought a large bucket of popcorn, and arrived early enough to see the previews. Kieran sighed internally, already feeling mentally tired. But it would rude to just walk away, not that he normally cared, but Tabi would make a fuss at him. Kieran smiled, giving away his signature grin, and lit his eyes up with excitement. [color=0076a3]"Well I try not to depend too much on the spirits too much, gets in the way of dealing with every day life."[/color] Kieran put his hand behind his head and laughed. [color=0076a3]"I try to focus on the present and draw on my own mental creative energy, to better stimulate a victorius outcome that is much more preferenced than a most unfavorable ending. I like to channel my surroundings and personal feelings, and turn them into words. I am a writer, so maybe these....fairies snatched me up because they thought I could produce great entertainment. So long as they dont ask me to write poetry. I stink at poetry."[/color] Kieran looked at Tabi, seeing her discomfort. Kieran felt obligated to cheer her up. He poked her side, giving her a "be happy" look. [color=0076a3]"And besides I dont think the spirits are that interested in our daily comings and goings. I believe they are mostly bystanders."[/color] Mika could tell when she wasn't wanted. Years of being a nosy paralegal gave her the knowledge of when people didn't want her around or found her weird and annoying.  "[color=fdc68a]I grew up learning about spirits. Not necessarily these ones though. I'm Ojibwe, up from Minnesota. They're very superstitious up in those parts, and I suppose I am a bit too.[/color]" Mika admitted, shrugging as she looked around the houses. She saw hers, as it wasn't a house but a tent. A very big tent but a tent nonetheless, which reminded her. "[color=fdc68a]You're scared of your house, which is supposed to be the house fo your dreams. It's odd to be scared of a house that was made just for you, don't you think Tabi?[/color]" Mika asked the girl, suddenly very curious about his distate for the house provided to him. He was an odd fellow indeed, but then again, so were the rest of them. "[color=fdc68a]Oh, word to the wise, I wouldn't eat the food. The side affects might be a little less than optimal.[/color]" Mika told them, even as her stomach growled. She hadn't eaten lunch but who knew what side affects their food would bring. Until she could get one of them in a vow that said the food was completely 100% magic free, Mika wouldn't touch it. Tabitha frowned,and poked her tongue out at Kieran again at his look, before looking back to Mika. [color=coral]"Ojibwe? Oh. Cool"[/color] She said, not one to ever judge someone's culture, [color=coral]"I mean...i know there are strange things out there, but....being teleported to the land of the fairies? I don't know...I guess its real since we're here, but..."[/color] She sighed.  At the question, Tabitha was a little taken aback. She glanced back to the house that she supposed was hers, remembering how perfect it was. Was that to keep them here? She looked back to Mika [color=coral]"Uh. Hm. Well. Somethings people just don't want to...deal with things. Just because something is perfect, doesn't mean that it is..well perfect"[/color] She said softly, glancing to Kieran, then back [color=coral]"Doesn't mean that they are scared"[/color] She rocked back on her heels, keeping her balance just nicely, [color=coral]"But what if we're here forever and ever? I can't last that long without food. I'm a tiny little woman"[/color] She said wide eyed.  Kieran steeled his expression, letting nothing show. He...he wasnt scared of what may be in his cabin....or maybe he was. Kieran had multiple reasons for not wanting to go inside his cabin and they were all his own, but how the hell did this women know? How could she tell? Was it actual spirits? Was she psychic? Kieran mentally face palmed himself, telling himself not to get worked up over something silly. Maybe she guessed it, and she just got lucky. [color=0076a3]"Im not scared to go inside my own designated cabin, but I think its just....well I mean....look there is no way my cabin knows exactly what I want ok. My mind is my most closely guarded treasure, and I dont like people peeping into ok."[/color] Kieran tapped his foot on the ground, thinking. [color=0076a3]"We need to eat at some point, I am sure the creatures here would not....like....do anything weird to us like that."[/color] Tabitha gave a shrug, [color=coral]"You saw my house. Its more the perfect art studio, then an entrance into my mind"[/color] she said, then smiled, [color=coral]"i'm not sure anyone can take that"[/color] She said with a giggle, giving him a smile. [colo=coral]"Besides, i think it can be anything you want, really. So....you should be safe, Kieran."[/color] She said almost as an afterthought.  [color=coral]"I definetely need to eat. I haven't eaten for hoooouuuurs"[/color] Tabitha said, frowning as she tried to figure out just how long it had been. [color=coral]"oh gosh since breakfast"[/color] She exclaimed Kieran laughed. He shrugged off Mika's comments, in no disrespect to her. Mika seemed...slightly odd but she also seemed nice and while they were here having her as a friend would help. [color=0076a3]"Mika I hear what you are saying but Tabi needs to eat. She might litterally die. So we are going to say our good byes, for now, and hoepfully see you later."[/color] Kieran gave Mika a two finger salute, then while still holding on to Tabi, he turned them around and started to walk away. Kieran wanted to get away, away from the rest of the group for a little while. It seemed as if there was so much to explore, and he did not want to waste it all in one spot. They were in freakin NeverLand, sorta, and he intended to take full advantage. Plus he never knew, he may be able to snuff out what the Fairie people were planning with them.  Suddenly Kieran saw another women run out from her cabin, acting frantic. Kieran looked at Tabi, sighed, then smiled and shrugged. This seemed interesting. [color=0076a3]"Lets go meet another one of our new teammates shall we Tabi?"[/color] Kieran walked them over to the frantic young women, and Kieran snapped his fingers to get her attention. [color=0076a3]"Hey yo,"[/color] Kieran said smiling[color=0076a3]",Calm down whats the matter?"[/color] Caity's eyes swept to the man who had snapped her fingers at her. What sort of self absorbed pig of a person decided to [i]snap[/i] at someone else? [color=a187be]"Did you just [i]snap[/i]...at...me?"[/color] Her voice trailed off as she registered who the snapper was. Was that... Kieran Hishamie? The author of the novel 'Deep Down'? She shook her head. [color=a187be][i]Not the time to be starstruck, Caity...[/i][/color] Of course, now there was the potential of sounding like a fool to a well-known author... Well, he was still rude for snapping at her. She'd focus on that. [color=a187be]"Uhm, well, if this isn't a hallucination or something of that nature, or a prank, I was thinking of the tales of the fair folk. If those legends hold any truth to them, then us eating or drinking anything here is not a good idea."[/color] Following Kieran happily, Tabitha was beginning to feel better about being here. Perhaps it was simply that people were...real, at least. she doubted she could have come up with what Mika had said,. Studying the somewhat distressed girl, Tabitha frowned as she was completely ignored. She could get fascination with someone, particularly if you knew their works, but....Tabitha sighed, glancing about her, and back to the woman. She smiled sweetly and leaning forward, she poked the girl, [color=coral]"Excuse me, its really rude to ignore someone"[/color] She said, just about as politely as she could, [color=coral]"I never got the appeal of being flustered at famous people"[/color] Caity finally noticed the pink-haired girl at Kieran's side. Too distracted by the presence of an [i]author[/i], Caity had missed the girl who was currently holding hands with said author until she poked her. [color=a187be][i]What the actual fuck.[/i][/color] It wasn't as if she had ignored the woman intentionally. Nor was she [i]flustered![/i] [color=a187be]"Were you not listening to what I just said?" Caity asked, her eyes searching the area for Nico. Where was that damned movie star with an addiction to coffee? [color=a187be]"If [i]this is real[/i] eating or drinking anything here will trap us in the fairy world forever. And you are more worried about introductions and being ignored!?"[/color] Tabitha blinked at the woman, and seemed a little perplexed, reaching up with her free hand to push her hair back out of her eyes, [color=coral]"But I'm hungry, and we could be here forever anyway, what are we going to do, die one by one until the last person eats the rest and then dies?"[/color] she asked, staring at the woman, [color=coral]"And you seemed to think that it was rude that Kieran snapped his fingers at you, until you saw who he was, and you ignored me....which is rude"[/color] Tabitha said, softly as if she was doing something wrong, but she didn't know what.  She starred at the woman, rocking slightly on her heels, then blinked, [color=coral]"Can I draw you?"[/color] She asked as if nothing was wrong.  [color=a187be]"[i]Draw[/i] me?"[/color] No way in hell was she letting someone draw her. That experience from high school art class was enough, thank you. Caity shook her head.[color=a187be] "Look, just don't eat anything, okay? Or drink anything. Just until you know it's safe."[/color] Or until they knew if they were stuck there forever. Finally, she spotted Nico.[color=a187be] "Excuse me." [/color]She said to the duo, and trotted off to make sure the movie star knew about not eating or drinking. The woman hadn't said no, really, so Tabitha glanced up at Kieran, and smiled.
