tushanshu_logs | Housewarming, housebreaking

Characters: Residents of MU-HAO
Date: June 26th, when they get home for the day
Location: MU-HAO
Situation: New flatmate is a disney princess
Warnings/Rating: None

When Zatanna Zatara, Jack Frost, or Armin Arlert get home on the 26th - at whatever point they individually get home - they will find much the same situation each time. All the lower floor windows are open and a rather large gathering of the local wildlife (birds mostly) have congregated within the lower level living space. What furniture is around may have a surprise sitting on it in the form of birds, rodents, or their droppings from when they were there earlier. And crumbs.

Lots of crumbs.

Crumbs being fought over at times.

If the kitchen is inspected, it seems that all the bread in the house is gone. All of it. Anything with bread on it, has been stripped of it's breading and the remains carefully packed back up. The rest of the food has not been raided as of yet.

This small avian army with the random ground support seems to be concentrated outside the formerly empty upper bedroom, which also is now softly lit from within. Should this oddity be followed up on, they will find their new flatmate sitting on the floor next to his new bed, quietly passing out breaded crumbs to the animals gathered there. Somehow enforcing rules of fairness and sharing with his soft smile and murmured words that everyone should share because there was plenty for everyone.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Jack smiled when Wan said that it was Zatanna who'd spoken of him and there's a fondness in the expression that doesn't line up with just neighbours.

Baby Tooth alighted on Wan's hand and nodded in response to his question, adding something else in chirps and trills like a bird. The more Wan listened however, the more like words they would seem to be. While other humans on the turtle couldn't understand the small faerie, Jack and other spirits could.

"This is Baby Tooth," Jack introduced by way of translation as he was used to doing. "And she's a tooth fairy."

Jack's smile went unnoticed by Wan as he leaned in to try and hear Baby Tooth better. At first it had sounded just like a bunch of chirps, but then they almost made sense. Jack's translation actually pulled Wan out of his concentration and he blinked a bit in puzzlement. Then held his free hand up toward the man, "Could you be quiet for a moment? I don't mean to be rude, but she was talking and... Well, I couldn't quite understand it. But I think if she repeats it I should be able to?"

He was completely unaware Jack was translating, of course.

Wan looked back at Baby Tooth, smiling once more, "Could you repeat that a little slower for me, please?"

Jack opened his mouth to respond and then slowly closed it, folding his arms and saying nothing.

Baby Tooth obliged his request, repeating in a slower cadence of chirps and tweets that eventually resolved itself into an actual question. "--faeries where you're from? You can understand me?"

Wan shook his head, clearly very pleased he'd been able to understand her as he answered, "No. No faeries in my world. But there are spirits like Jack there. Well, there aren't any spirits of the seasons, but other spirits. And it's a little hard to understand you, but I think I have it now. It just took a little getting used to. I can see how it would be hard for regular humans."

"I'm gonna go put the groceries in the kitchen," Jack said, turning and carrying the bags through the doorway. If they were going to have fourth roommate for dinner, it was good that he'd brought extra!

Baby Tooth fluttered her wings excitedly. Though she didn't blame humans for not being able to understand her, being cut off from all her sisters and from Toothiana meant that Jack was her main source of conversation, other than the select handful of people like Zatanna who had figured out how to communicate with her.

"You know Jack is a spirit? Are you not a regular human?"

Wan waved to Jack before getting back to Baby Tooth. She had a very pretty voice.

"Zatanna told me he was a spirit," he replied, moving to lean back against the nearest wall while he held the little fairy up. "And no. I'm not. I haven't been a regular human for a few months now, but... even that changed by a whole lot more just this morning. Right before I woke up here. It's more complicated now."

"He is," she agreed. "Fairies are a type of spirit too. How did you get to become not a regular human? Why is it complicated?"

"I spent a lot of time with a very powerful spirit named Raava," he said with a bit of a dreamy smile on his face. "And in her presence I changed. Both my body and my soul. And it's complicated just because sometimes things get complicated. This was one of them. It's nothing to worry about, though."

After a pause he tried to get the conversation back on Tooth, "Are all fairies as beautiful as you?"

Baby Tooth chittered and fluttered her wings, embarrassed. "We all look like each other," she demurred. "And we all look like Queen Toothiana, because we're part of her."

Wan grinned brighter, laughing a little, "Well, then all of you, and Queen Toothiana, are the most beautiful spirits I've seen. Second only to one. And you all must be very kind and clever. You certainly are. I'm glad to meet you. And Jack. You must be very close to him."

"He saved me from Pitch's Nightmares," Baby Tooth answered. "I think you'll get along with him. He's a good person."

"He seems pretty amazing already," Wan said with a nod, wondering who Pitch was. He wanted to ask, but if she'd been rescued from him then she probably didn't want to talk too much about it. "There aren't any spirits of the seasons in my world. As a spirit of winter, he must be powerful. But he's also very kind and seems to care for humans. That's not usually something that spirits in my world do. being both kind and caring for humans, I mean. Most spirits and humans live apart from each other and don't get along well."
