Warnings: Possible spoilers for Final Fantasy XIV or Kingdom Hearts in marked threads, etc.



[What Angel Wakes Me - Open]

[The warning signs had been there for months. Rose's insistence on chuckling. Finding things fun that she usually wouldn't. A penchant for trickery. The fact that her burns sustained at the Rathmores' had been healing slowly, even more slowly than she'd expect.]

[One February morning, as she looks in the mirror, she's forced to confront the truth of it all. She'd become the thing she hated most.]

[A fairy.]

[A pair of familiar-looking wings had sprouted on her back, seemingly overnight. She was a good six inches shorter than she was the previous day, putting her just under four and a half feet. The air sparkled around her, as if this appearance wasn't already cursed enough.]

BLOODY HELL!

[Not in the house? Not a problem! Her scream can be heard for miles.]

[The Perks of Being a Wallflower 1 - Open]

[With her wings came a variety of benefits that she'd never expected. For one, people tended to avoid her in crowds. Nobody wanted a fae's wing to hit them in their face, so Rose is blessed with an abundance of personal space.]

[Unfortunately, these wings tended to get caught on things. Rose hasn't mastered the art of walking with wings yet, and when she tries to enter a shop, the end of one of her wings gets caught on the door. She waves the nearest person over, a frown on her face.]

I appear to need some help.

[The Perks of Being a Wallflower 2 - Open]

[Wings are also great for avoiding people. Not only did people avoid her when she walked, she had the ability to float above the crowd, and avoid anyone she didn't like. Which is pretty much everyone.]

[For short periods of time, anyway. Rose had not properly been briefed on the dangers of fae flight. As it turns out, there's a very limited amount of stamina that she has, and there's only so long that she can sustain flight. Unfortunately, she finds this out as she's trying to fly over a relatively small crowd, and ends up crashing into somebody as she falls to the ground.]

Unbelievable.

[It's not an apology, but at least she's small, so it doesn't hurt as much. Right?]

[A Night on the Town - Open]

[With all the stress of her transformation, Rose needs a night on the town. So she signs up for speed-dating, despite her inherent disinterest in meeting new people. Or her inherent hatred of people themselves.]

[Make no mistake, she is here for the bar. In the spirit of her newfound faedom, her sole purpose tonight is to terrorize everyone here. Participants only get to talk for two minutes each! No matter. Rose needs far less than two minutes to scare most of the participants off.]

[Whoever matches with her will find a disgruntled Miqo'te sitting in the seat opposite them. She has a mug in her hand, and a frown on her face.]

Don't bother talking. I'm sure it won't end well for you.

[And a charming personality, to boot.]

[Wildcard!]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower 2

[getting_better]

[Even without his powers and superhuman abilities, his senses are way above the average human. Couple that with his experience on and off the battlefield and Bishop is clearly a man of great skill, endurance, and reliability however even men like him have their moments that humble them. The come in various forms, sometimes brought about by their own hand like overestimating one's drinking tolerance and displaying how proficient you are at "drunken fist" kung fu against your own shadow then losing while claiming they cheated like a sore loser.

Or, in this case, a four and a half foot fairy cat lady falling out of the sky while absent mindlessly thinking "how many people did it take to discover how to eat pufferfish without dying?"

The thought followed by "Oh shit, person" then appropriately "Ow" as Bishop went from person to human pillow spread out on the floor with Rose right on top of him.]

I second that.

[This was not how he expected today to go.]

[poisontippedcure]

[It's not how she expected today to go, either. The one benefit of being a fae, and she doesn't get to enjoy it? What's the point of being a fae if she can't avoid other people.]

[Truly, her life is suffering.]

[Rose gets up and dusts herself off, paying little mind to Bishop in the process. There's a good chance that she accidentally hits him in the face...but surely that's fine, right?]

What's the point of wings if they don't even work?

[getting_better]

[She thinks her day is going back? Look at him. He got a fairy cat lady thing lobbed at him and now the said fairy cat lady, now with two new adjectives rude and grumpy, was hitting him in the face with dust.]

Well, as someone very accustomed to flying, I can say with all honesty that it's not always the wings fault.

[He dusted his face and sat up, dusting the rest of himself off. Properly, mind you, pushing the dust away from other people.]

Are you okay, at least? No injuries?

[poisontippedcure]

[Rose frowns. She may be rude and grumpy, but that comment was uncalled for! It's not like she implied the collision was his fault, even though she did.]

What am I supposed to do? These things didn't come with an instruction manual.

[She sighs, looking again at her wings. They seem undamaged, at least.]

I don't think so. Save for my pride, of course.

[getting_better]

That is true...

[He sighs as he rolls his neck and feels if a knot has formed on the top of his head and rubs it tenderly before looking Rose over.]

I take it that only the wings are new? Tail, and ears, and such are normal for you, yes?

[He thinks the stature might be new as well but, he doesn't want to comment on that. A tad rude.]

[poisontippedcure]

[Rose sighs. Why did people always comment on her ears and tail? They aren’t that strange. She’s a normal Miqo’te.]

Yes. I’m a Miqo’te, but I wasn’t a fae before I came here. The wings appeared yesterday.

[The disdain in her voices conveys her feelings about the matter well enough. Unfortunately, while being a fae did make her shorter, it wasn’t by much. She was small to begin with.]

[getting_better]

Mi... [Cat person. Okay.]

Well, regardless. We can't have you flying around and crashing in folks. At least, not without some direction on the matter.
