Intro Log
Who: Everyone!
What: Your first magical day
Where: Progress City Tranport Center
When: Right now
Warnings: None planned!
[Today you found a ticket to a theme park. It seems relatively normal, except that it reads: Lifetime Parkhopper Pass to Progress City. ”The Most Magical Pocket Dimension in the Multiverse!” This is not a theme park you have ever heard of, if you live in a world where theme parks are of the norm.
For some reason you’re drawn to the ticket. There’s something… magical in this piece of paper, and you can practically hear it calling out to you, and you feel compelled to pick it up. It’s strange, but it’s a piece of paper, what’s the worst that could happen?
However, the moment you pick it up, you feel yourself being pulled. There is nothing pulling you but there is an overwhelming sensation that something is pulling you by the chest into the ground. You don’t have time to process what’s going on before you suddenly fall over, the strange feeling going away the moment you hit the ground.
It takes a few moments for you to regain your bearings, but as you look up you are suddenly hit with the fact that, wherever you were before, you certainly aren’t there anymore. It appears to be a transport station of some sort, and a very sleek and new one at that. Monorails pass by the station every couple of minutes, with small, slower moving vehicles consistently move in and out of the center.
The innermost wall, right behind where you stand, is lined with portals. It appears that you came in through this portal, but if you try to go back the way you came in, you’ll find that you are unable to enter it, no matter how hard you try.
While the realization that you are now trapped in this strange place, you will soon find that you also have a strange band strapped to your dominant wrist. No matter how hard you try to take it off, it seems like it’s stuck on there.
At least you’re not alone, along with a bunch of other people who arrived around the same time you did, there are humanoid people who seemed to be intrigued by your arrival. They’re all generally nice, but get confused if you ask them why you’re here and why you can’t leave. They will, however, happily tell you the name of the place you’re in if you ask:
Progress City.]

( were this yet another murdergame, evie might appear to be going for the kill early in the form of two arms flung around freddie's neck as the princess practically yanks her into the tightest hug of her life, her cheek smooshing against the other girl's. rest in peace, gone but not forgotten, et cetera. all of evie's internal wishing for mal and her magic has seemed to manifest in the form of a facilier instead, but that's more than okay. )
no subject
Air is a thing people need, Evie. [but she's. happy to see her. for all she's worried about what this means.]
no subject
there's a sheepish smile on her face that doesn't quite reach her eyes, but that's mostly because her eyes betray a little more fear and apprehension than she'd care to admit. this sudden arrival of theirs could mean any number of things, and almost none of them are good, especially with the thought of she and her friends' parents keen on revenge for their alignment with the auradonians in mind.
evie's keeping it together as best as she can. ) Where are we? ( as though freddie could possibly know. )
no subject
[this. probably would've worked better without that emphasis.]
no subject
if her mom's involved in this somehow, she's going to be so mad if any worry lines show up on her forehead. )
We've got to stick together.
no subject
["us"]
no subject
Doug? Carlos? Jay? Mal?
( honestly, she'd even take uma. harry, even. anyone from home would make her feel better; it took four hearts working together to overcome maleficent's treachery. the more of them here, the better chance they have of getting through whatever this is. )
no subject
Not... that us. You're the first person from the Isle I've seen in... a real, real long time. [feels like twenty years, sometimes.] But, I made a sorta... weird family-type thing in the last place I was before I ended up here. Some of them are here, too. You'll like 'em, I think. They're good [beat] people.
[being adopted by mice means you work extra hard to remove human-centric language from your vocabulary.]
no subject
( and her face falls, significantly. good job, freddie. evie looks practically ready to crumple; it's been — what, a half hour since this whole debacle began, and she's already missing the rest of their friends dearly. it feels like when mal when to the isle on her own all over again, except this time it's evie who's abandoning them and it's not even on purpose.
she nods solemnly, tries to even parse what freddie's trying to explain to her, even if approximately none of it makes sense to her. honestly, she had better luck with beaker earlier. )
A long time? I mean, we went to the Jewel-bilee together, and then there was that whole debacle with Uma —
If they'd just let us go back I could leave my dorm and cross the hall and you'd be there, right in yours. Right where you were when I got brought here.
no subject
Wait, a debacle with who? [oh hell what happened isn't that CJ's shitty brother's captain did anyone die--]
no subject
at least freddie asks about uma, giving an excuse for evie to do more than just complain about how little she comprehends about anything right now. )
Uma — Ursula's daughter? She tried to steal Fairy Godmother's wand to get revenge on Ben for not bringing all the VKs to Auradon Prep at the same time and leaving them behind... She kidnapped Ben for a while, and then there was the whole love spell thing. ( it practically leaves her shuddering. blech. ) Uma totes pulled an Ursula and got squiddy at the cotillion and Mal turned into a dragon and it was a mess. My dress was soaked.
no subject
Ugh, I always miss the fun stuff! A whole dragon-- I mean, I saw a dragon fight too, but she never got that close to where I was... [she trails off because she uh. never really considered. having to actually tell any VKs about their parents' involvement.
that will be a problem for Future Freddie. who will surely appreciate it.]
What happened in the fight? Mal didn't, you know, kill her or anything, right... [she assumes that if Mal died this story would be told in a very different way, so if anyone did, it's Uma.]
no subject
( and there's a dismissive wave of her hand, 'cause it's totes nbd, obvi. just like whatever freddie's talking about with her dragon that she saw. somehow, talking about the happenings of auradon seem to put evie a little more at ease for the first time since she's arrived. )
We still danced for the rest of the night even if there were a few inches of water left on the yacht.
no subject
no subject
He even commissioned a stained glass portrait of him and Mal — you know, like the one of his mom and his dad. It was so romantic. Even with the whole Uma fight going on.
no subject
no subject
( is this a #calloutpost for freddie facilier? maybe... maybe not....... )
I saw how you gobbled up all those desserts when you showed up at Auradon Prep. Your heart would've been ready to burst just like mine.
no subject
[wait.
maybe if she just stands super still. no wait that's dinosaurs. not sappy friends you've just admitted your changed love life status to.]
no subject
Freddie...
( ...... !!!!!!!!! )
no subject
So, before, when I said I've kinda found myself a weird family... I'm kinda engaged right now.
no subject
Engaged?! Oh my goodness, Freddie, to who?! Do I know them? Tell me everything!
( them, because fu auradon and your heteronormative expectations that don't exist on the isle. evie's too excited about this whole thing to consider the fact that the two of them, even by their world's standards, are pretty young to get married, and too excited to do anything except start mentally sketching out some sort of wicked wedding look for freddie, nevermind the fact that if this suitor is part of freddie's found family, then that means that they experienced all the terrible things of that world that freddie had described, too. )
no subject
[at least this one she can physically prove.]
You definitely know her. It's Princess Ariel. [and once upon a time, I killed her. but that's a story for future Freddie to tell, too.]
no subject
somehow, a murder manor sounds right, just another thing for the future storybooks that will inevitably be written about all of them one day. )
You're engaged to a princess? Does that mean when you get married, you'll also be a princess? ( again, she has her priorities. ) Also! Um. That's totes cool that you're like — into someone so old! So good of you.
