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

[thirdbeauty]

[Avoiding people isn't exactly Natsuru's priority, so much as avoiding notice. It's for that reason that she's started to really use her glamours more out in public. Her height might be a tell, as she's reluctantly accepted her diminished stature as normal. Even her larger, more doll-like eyes alone looked just human enough not to earn too many strange looks. But all the other telling features could be hidden or obscured rather easily. As long as nothing startled her out of it.

Such as, say, a fairy cat lady tumbling from midair straight towards her.]

Hah-?!

[Delicate though she might seem, Natsuru is able to brace herself so that the crash doesn't knock her over. It does break her hold on her glamour, though, revealing her true appearance - pointed ears, feathery antennae, and wings fluttering in an effort to maintain her balance.

She'd managed to catch Rose enough to keep the other woman on her feet too, assuming Rose can manage to disentangle herself from the other Fae holding her. Color rises to Natsuru's cheeks at the woman's unusual response to the crash, and she quickly tries to pull away while still being careful not to let Rose fall.]

S-Sorry! Are... you okay?

[Once she's pulled back a little bit, she's especially surprised to notice this woman is actually shorter than her. Not by much, but still something Natsuru hasn't seen since her own changes kicked in. It's kind of hard not to notice.]

[poisontippedcure]

[There are many things it is hard not to notice. For example, it's hard not to notice the frown on Rose's face as she tries--and fails--to get to her feet. The fact that the girl she lands on is also a fae doesn't escape her attention, but she also doesn't care.]

[At least, she doesn't care until their wings manage to get tangled. Rose is on her feet, thankfully, but she's not able to stand fully without leaning on the other woman for support. What did she do to deserve this?]

[Eventually she gets her wings free, but not without a bit of work. She frowns.]

Physically, yes. I'm not used to these horrid things yet.

[Rose makes a motion to her aforementioned wings, which are still slowing moving backwards and forwards.]

[thirdbeauty]

[Tangled wings... what a new and weird feeling. Fae wings are pretty delicate, so Natsuru is very careful not to move too suddenly, letting Rose lean on her as much as she needs to while they get untangled.]

Yeah. I haven't had mine for very long either.

[Now that she's getting a better look, she eyes Rose's wings curiously.]

Yours look... bigger too. Do they stay out like that?

[Natsuru's wings had already neatly folded themselves away, once they got untangled. Damselfly wings are useful like that. Rose looks more like a... strange sort of butterfly, though. Or something out of a fairy tale.]
