Fae Fancies! (Closed)

Who: Bernadetta and plotting partners!
When: Throughout the month
Where: Various locations
What: The full moon is bringing about one more full Fae. And she's feeling mischievous and impulsive...
Warnings: Cute pranks, theft... Seriously, it probably won't be that bad. But as usual there will be a warning for possible mentions of past child abuse just in case.

Prompts will be in the comments below for the sake of organization!

For reference Bernie's physical changes will include the following:
- A shrinkage of a foot (she's now 4'5")
- Damselfly wings that are nice and long and purple
- Some purple scaling along her legs, arms, neck, and back. Tiny bit goes onto her face.
- Pointed ears
- Thin antennae near her temples coming from her hair
- No whites to her eyes and upon closer inspection they'll look compound despite their human shape
- Eyes (still human shaped) will be larger in appearance
- Body releases glittery dust when it's touched so sparkles EVERYWHERE

During the full moon the physical changes will include:
- Wings shifting in color
- Longer fingers and limbs to look sinewy
- Eyes electrically bright with magic

[Since the arrival of Byleth, Bernie has been keeping to herself more than usual when she's at the Black Eagle house. So when she's not at the Lions house, she's been largely in her room. Well, until the night of the full moon. At that point, unless Hubert happens to be wearing one of his cloaks then suddenly every single one he owns has just...gone missing. Poof! Gone!

Where could they have gone? Well, if one is to go into the cellar that Hubert has been turning into a lab then there is a corner that has been suddenly converted. Into a Fae nest. It seems that a certain Fae has made this darkest possible corner into her own personal space. A very black space. And in the middle of this black pit of a nest is one very happy little Fae who is putting the finishing touches on a...stuffed animal? That must be what it is.

Right?]

[The cloaks of these two ladies have gone missing! Where could they be? It's hard to tell but as they're walking along together they'll probably see the ends of Edelgard's red cloak vanishing around a corner. The thief must be there!

Of course as soon as they rush forward to go for it suddenly there's...a forest around them? With pitcher plants holding buckets of water? What is happening???

Then the plants throw the water at them and...

They're dry???

Cue a giggle from somewhere nearby as the illusion falls to show they're back in the hallway. Someone is feeling mischievous.]

[It seems that this household has become victims of the cloak theft as well. Of course she's made her nest in her room so maybe it's harder to find. This time. Any future gatherings are sure to be easy to locate for Sylvain especially who has quite a strong bond with her at this point.

So when he comes knocking at her door, he'll suddenly hear the humming inside stop. Someone knows she has been caught. Except for the fact that there's literally no way for him to know that she has the cloaks!

What will she do? Stay tuned!]

...Hello?

[It's not hard to figure out where Felix is on a given day. He's either eating a meal that Bernie has made for him or he's training. Okay, it's true that he goes other places. But these are definitely the easiest places for her to find him! Which means that today it's after he's training.

Stepping out of the room he'll suddenly find himself in a maze! Where is he? Well when he sniffs he'll know he's still at home. But his eyes are playing tricks on him because this is definitely not his home. And when he goes walking through it there will be little dancing pitcher plants that show up to shower him in confetti before running away!

And yes. That's definitely Bernie giggling sometimes somewhere nearby.]

[It's taken a lot of sneaky work but Bernie's figured out where Eren lives! And he's got a cloak...poncho...that she wants! It looks so comfortable and she just needs it for her collection! She doesn't want to keep it! That would be mean. But if she could just snuggle into it for a bit...

So she waits until he's unaware before getting inside and snagging it. And also setting up a trap!

Not that it's much of a trap. Mostly it's a box with a little spring in it that flings flower petals up to shower over him and a note that says: "Surprise! -The Flower Fairies!"

But her scent is sure to be all over and the next day she's easy to track down. Just cuddled into the poncho while writing in her journal. Humming away like it's just no big deal at all! Of course the fact that she's fully Fae now is noticeable but that's not the point!

Or is it, Eren?]

[Now, Lance has already figured out that Bernie must have his cloak. He did contact her! But what he's not expecting is how mischievous she's become. So during one of their friend dates he's probably just walking along completely unaware of what is about to happen to him. Because why would he suddenly expect what happens next?

Namely turning a corner and suddenly getting dumped with what looks like it must be glitter! It's actually her own Fae dust that she's been collecting just for this. And while he's recovering, she'll suddenly fly down, still holding a bag in her hand where she's been keeping the dust, giggling with delight.]

You sparkle now!

[She's been on such a tear this month. But pranks are fun! Plus she hasn't quite gotten a hang of keeping her new urges in check yet. So when she wants to go cause mischief she honestly just...does! Which means she's set up a trap for a couple of people that she knows on different days.

The first day she spots Mikasa and gets the trap ready to go. After walking around a corner, Mikasa will trigger a string trap that will suddenly cause sparkling flowers to fall from a blanket above. As far as pranks go it's very harmless. Even very cute if one is to be honest. Especially when she sees Bernie giggling nearby with delight that the trap worked.

Another day she'll see Connor. They're not super close yet but she remembers him! And remembers liking him. So of course she has to prank him too! And that means that as she follows him around to see where he's going, she figures out the perfect thing to do for him. Which means that it's closer to evening when he goes around a corner and ends up walking...back where he started the day? Yep. It's an illusion. But it's hard to tell save for the fact that there's now dancing pitcher plants here and there that sing "Surprise!" at him before showering him in flower petals. Nearby he can hear Bernie giggling.]

[Well guys. On different days Bernie's been trying to prank her friends. Unfortunately you guys are the ones who have been able to encounter her antics. It's all an accident but here you'll find yourself either encountering something like getting lightly sprayed with glittering water or getting dumped with flower petals or confetti... Heck, you might have encountered an illusion of suddenly being surprised by a dancing and singing pitcher plant that sings "Surprise!" to you before disappearing.

Luckily you only encounter one of these before you see Bernie nearby looking horrified. Because this wasn't meant for you! And she feels really bad!]

I.... I'M SORRY!

[It's an odd feeling, walking into an illusion like this one. He shouldn't be here, he should be on his way home. But then the flower petals cover him and he hears giggling, and he turns to find the source of it.]

Hello?

[He brushes petals off his shoulder, though there are still several in his hair, and walks closer to where Bernadetta is.]

[Spend the morning in the study, he though. Do something different and read a bit about abjuration, he thought. When he went to get his coat and cloak for an errand before dark, Hubert found... nothing.]

[The moons were full, Hubert knew; he made a habit of tracking the phases. Bernadetta's end of the Bond had been... giddy, but that's been increasingly common as her fae changes progressed. He didn't think much of it at the time.]

[He sighs.]

[After a long moment, Hubert follows the vague tug of the Bond—he knew she was relatively close, and with the vague direction of down there was likely only one place the Fae could be.]

[When he makes his way down the cellar, using the door instead of teleporting in for once, he isn't sure what he was going to find—but his Bonded curled in the corner, in a pile of his clothing with the grey rat perched on her spindly wrist watching her work with curiosity wasn't one of them.]

[A faint rattle draws his attention up to the shelves, where the little brown-and-white rat was exploring the top of the shelves. Hubert shakes his head and sighs as he shuts the door behind him, descending the steps.]

Really, now. Could you have left me one?

[The Bond shows that he isn't angry—patience tinged with a little exasperation, but not angry.]

[ well, in sylvia's case, she's going to get surprised by the pitcher plant. she lets out a loud gasp as it dances. ]

Whoa!!!

[ she actually thinks it's kind of cool before it disappears. then she looks around, wondering where it went -- and suddenly, there's someone apologizing to her frantically. sylvia blinks a few times. ]

Wait, did you do that?

I just don't know why anyone would take my cloak...

[Corrin was saying, probably for the fourth or fifth time, as she and Edelgard made their way down the street. There was much chance of finding it, but it had been an excuse to go out in the elate evening, at least. She was about to say something else when a flash of red caught her eye.]

Hey, isn't that? Wait!

[And off she went charging around the corner, sliding to a stop as she came face to face with...all those plants. What?]

[There are a... few... small ways for him to know she has the cloaks, but they're subtle, and unique to them, because of their strong bond. For one, she'd felt... mischievous, today, just before things started going missing. And a little while after that, she felt pleased with herself, and content.

So he can make a pretty educated guess as to what happened.

That said? He leaves her be for quite a while, at least until the daily chores come down to doing laundry. Then he has to raid her nest, unfortunately.]

Bernadetta? Can I come in?

I don't understand it either...it's so strange.

[Edelgard blinked when Corrin ran ahead, and she hurried to catch up, skittering around a corner just behind Corrin.]

Corrin, what...?

[And then the illusion hits, the forest building up around them. She whirls, already slipping a hand into her pocket for a hidden weapon in case this was an attack.]

What's going on?

[And then they start spraying water, everywhere. Edelgard gasps in surprise, spinning in another direction to try and see what is going on. It looks ridiculous, but even moreso when the attack stops.]

...I'm dry?

[ the only reason eren hadn’t been “home” (read: he’s a nomad, but there are places where he stops if it isn’t just an actual hole in the ground), was because he got caught. saved, maybe. helped and put away in another fae’s house and— god, there were no words. just that it set him off like crazy and he couldn’t get away from mikasa until morning where he jumped out the window. nude. you’d think it was the walk of shame but there’s panic! it was way too close.

then he gets to a den, to try and dust himself off of the wild berry scent when . . . there’s more. it’s everywhere. it’s inside and all over his things, and, miraculously, none of his hoarding objects had been taken. he could tell if one was in someone else’s hands like an innate magic ability, a trip wire that sets off a massive alarm in him and brings him here.

but, no. nothing of the sort was gone. only one of his favorite ponchos, the one he’s been using since his arm wings began to grow. it’s— it’s everywhere. bernie was here, he could undoubted smell her and her fae dust and oh, bernie what have you done. he was drugged up all night by fae dust and now one teases him, enters his home and leaves a “gift”. there are flowers. everywhere. he’s cold sweating at the thought— but what if she stayed? she could’ve stayed. she’d be safe, if he were here, she’d be free to do what she wanted as long as he was around to overlook and make sure no soul would interfere and— he leaves his den in a hurry. eren only puts a single poncho on, for you to have an idea. no shirt underneath, no pants, no soles for his dragon feet, especially not when the weather is warming up.

and now he’s here. he’s found her efficiently, and how could he not? she was changed, from his height he could only marvel. his pupils were blown until no blue would come of the iris. he was jittery and hot and breathing harder than he should. his shadow casts over her, and he watches on as he assimilates: his clothes are being used. she’s all over his clothes.

from standing, he slowly crouches, and continues to crouch to her height whether she’s realized it or not. his tongue is having a crazy flicking time and only one thing is thought: fae, and white noise. ]

[Stiles has really only met her once but he was really nice to her. Enough to leave a positive impression on her. So when she sees him the mischief rises in her and she quickly sets up her trap for him. Which is just as harmless as any other that she's done really. It just involves him sitting there wherever he's decided to spend time.

Only for it to seem like it's raining? Except that the rain is...flowers? Look, as far as pranks go it's really on the lowest end of the spectrum. But she thinks it's great based on how she can be heard giggling nearby while she plays with the illusions around him.]

[ One late morning, after Stiles has done another round of job interviews, he settles on a bench at the park, content to just people watch as he slowly unwinds before heading home. At the first few flowers that appear in his periphery, he twists around in his seat, expecting to find someone nearby with a basket of them or something. But he’s seemingly alone. ]

…Huh?

[ Blinking, he turns his face up to the sky. Seemingly without a source, flowers are slowly drifting down on him. The colors are beautiful, though he doesn’t recognize the species. Now thoroughly invested in this strange phenomenon, Stiles stands up and takes a few steps away from the bench – only for the shower of flowers to follow his position. To test just how dedicated this magic is, he runs a short distance away. A carpet of flowers trails after his wake. ]

Um, hello? [ he calls out, bemused and curious. ] Are…are these for me?

[ Well, obviously, Stiles. ]

[The rats had joined her and she'd been feeding them snacks. Well, mostly the grey one since it wants to spend time on her wrist. It seems perfectly happy to be spending time there so she can't say she minds either as she puts some buttons on for eyes for the toy that she's making.

Only to blink owlishly when she hears Hubert. Right away she opens her mouth to talk about how mad he must be before she realizes he's not mad.

He's exasperated. And honestly he's making a cute face about it too!

She bursts into giggles and then forgets to apologize in her fit of mischief. Her wings flit a little before settling back where they were resting before.]

But you weren't using them! Now it's a Bernie nest!

[He'll feel it when she suddenly gets an idea that excites her.]

Oh! You could sit here in it too! Then it can be your nest too!

[There's more giggling before from nearby and then a flitting sound of wings. Insect-like wings. It's pretty easy to follow it just in time to see the red cloak end up going around another corner and...

Yep it's headed outside.

By the time they get there it's hard to tell where it went until they hear a rustle in a tree. That might be the source, you two. Probably! (It totally is.)]

[At first she's considering trying to hide the cloaks. But mischief ends up winning out and instead she goes to her door. Shockingly she appears at eye level with Sylvain, her body adjusting quickly to having wings now. He'll know something is about to happen before it even does though. It's not the smile on her face that says so.

It's the suddenly vibrating mischief he feels.

Suddenly she puts her hand out and blows to puff sparkles all over him!]

Surprise!

[She feels she's not alone rather quickly and looks around to find that it's Eren. The person she just poncho snatched! Her eyes widen, an apology rising up to her lips. Because it hits her now what she's done. How could she? Ohhhhh! She has to get these impulses under control!

He must be so mad.

But he doesn't look mad? Instead he looks...distressed? Or something.]

Kruger...are you okay?

[Her concern shifts from how angry he must be to if he's okay. The poncho falls from her shoulders as her wings stretch out and she flies up into the air to better get to his level. Because there's really only so low he can crouch given how much height she's lost.

Reaching out, she touches his cheek to see if maybe he's sick or something.]

Are you sick? You should be in bed!

[So worried!]

[She appears in front of his face. Upside down. Yep. She's flying in a way that lets her bend over him to see him that way.]

Surprise!

[Bernie giggles some then flies around to land in front of him. He'll notice very quickly how much shorter she is than when they met.]

Y-yes. I thought you were someone else. And I wanted to...

[The antennae on her head vibrate faster, showing just how nervous she is.]

I'm really sorry! Please don't be mad! I know you probably are! So mad!

[The illusion is even more fun for her when he actually moves around and she has to follow him with it. It turns out that she's pretty good at it! Which she likes because she never studied magic before. Her professor had her study other things. She wiggles a bit where she's sitting, tilting her head cutely. From the tree she's sitting in.

When he calls out, she thinks about not answering him but that just seems mean. So Bernie replies.]

Do you like them?

[She's kind of proud of them okay.]

[Corrin barely had time to yelp before the water was on them, bringing her hands up to cover her face only to...not actually get hit by anything. After several seconds she lowered her hands, blinking at the plants as they faded away, and then slowly turned to look at Edelgard.]

...What the hell?

[Was all she managed to say. Then that giggle filled the air, and her frown got worse.]

This is some kind of practical joke isn't it.
