04. upon thyself thy beauty's legacy

[keepscalm]

Characters: England and all of the cultured people. Open!
Setting: Floor 25.
Format: Starting action, but will match!
Summary: England is having a teatime picnic. It's long overdue. Threadjacking is okay and welcomed! Join an existing thread and make it a tea party or make a new thread.
Warnings: Probably language since it's England. Also possibly threadjacking, so just say in the subject if you don't want that!

[So there is no fancy garden table and chairs or quaint little sitting room, but the innocuous spring floor is almost as nice. He's laid out a length of cloth snatched from the workshop floor to act as a makeshift blanket, and has a teaset out, with a full pot of tea, multiple cups, and sugar. No milk or honey, due to the restrictions of the Tower's kitchen, but he can deal.

And he's actually smiling a little. Do you dare risk disrupting him in this almost fugue-like state?

Of course you do, he's just a silly grump with pretty plates and big eyebrows. Come join him for tea.]

[Oh, she's actually excited! He pretty much completely forgets about the thread of magic and technology being similar to latch onto this new line of conversation.]

Indeed! I can see most any creature of magic or lore, unless they take special measures to hide from me. You can see many of them if only your belief is strong enough. One of my fae companions has actually come to the Tower with me, if you'd like to meet her sometime.

[Outwardly, he shows only polite curiosity, but he's actually pretty eager to ask:] if I might ask-- you're acquainted with Link as well?

[metawoof]

[Her face is basically omg fairies right now.]

Eeee, cool! When I was little I tried to find fairies in my garden once after I watched Peter Pan, but there are no magical creatures in the world I come from. [Froooown.] But if your friend is real I would love to meet her...!

--Oh, yeah! I met him a bit after I got here in the meadow-y floor I think. He said he had a fairy friend back home, but they didn't come with her.

GG: oh shoot :(
GG: *come with HIM
GG: ok now back to your regularly scheduled tag!


[Welcome to his life, Echidna.

A small frown touches his lips.] Well, that's a terrible shame. Perhaps the disbelief in your world merely drove them into hiding. However, I assure you my friend is quite real. She's very sweet-- I think you'll like her. [He looks amused for a second, over the rim of his teacup.] She's even green in coloration.

--Ah, yes, we've spoken of similar things. He's a wonderful fellow to keep company with. [He is England's Hylian BFF.]

[metawoof]

[She would've happily clapped here, but there was kind of a teacup in her hand, so she just shrugged her shoulders and brought her arms up happily.] Well I am glad that they are still OK then! And I am glad your friend got to come with you!! Heehee, I can't wait to meet her~!

[And a teasip.] I'm glad! He seems really nice, but I think he's been a lot busier lately.

[keepscalm]

It was a pleasant surprise to find her in my trunk. None of the others followed, but I am glad to have her, at least. [Though he did miss everyone else. Uni and the fairies...]

It does seem that way. Can't fault him, really. Heroes have duties to attend to. [...not that he can believe he really just said "heroes" in a serious context outside of referring to soldiers, but.]

[metawoof]

Probably. Fighting dragons, rescuing the maidens, defeating the evil scientist kidnappers and freeing the oppressed Towervillage!

[The tea cup was precariously perched on her knee while she made stabbing and swishing motions at the air, as if she were wielding an imaginary sword. Hee~ I'm sure your other friends are fine though! Maybe they even have other heroes to help them!

[keepscalm]

[Thing is, that actually sounded like something Link would do. And wouldn't that be nice? It'd be just like in his fairytales. Then maybe people wouldn't call him crazy.

Of course, he's sure his friends are fine on their own, but...] Well, the English do have many knights in shining armor to spare. [Most of those legends came from him, after all!]

[metawoof]

See, it's perfect! [She stopped her pretend sword-fighting to take the cup back before it went smashing onto the floor off her knee.]

Nothing to worry about. And we even have some heroes here too, so maybe King Arthur will show up or something!

[Hey, she knew some old timey stuff.]

[keepscalm]

[Does England get a little starry-eyed at that? No, of course not, he's too dignified for that. Don't be silly.]

Wouldn't that be something? I'd certainly be enthused to meet him.

[metawoof]

[Dignified her ass, she spent her time hanging out with nerds. She can see those stars!!]

I bet it is possible! I have seen all sorts of cool fantasy and real people around here, so it could totally happen!
