Wizard has been displaced

[phoenixwiz]

Open/locked?: Open
Who: Harry and You
What: Harry has been displaced across the multiverse AGAIN
Warnings: Tons of disorientation and confusion; Will update if something comes up

So this is it: he is about to return home after helping out in saving Avalon and the world from being frozen in time for nearly two years. And he does miss home so much that once Excalibur has been destroyed and time and the multiverse has been saved, he thought that now is the time to go back and rest up from a long endgame fight with a cursed sword. As much as he wants to stay here, he has a mess of a battle aftermath to clean up, a destroyed school to come to, friends who are missing him badly now, and a community that needs to rebuild itself. The situation his world is in is not that great but he does need to go back and help in the repairs soon.

Or that is what he thought how that day would end because he soon finds himself being transported into a very unfamiliar place. For the second time in his life, Harry has been very much displaced across the multiverse again. He takes a look around to see if he has everything from Avalon with him. Relief settles in when he finds that Hedwig in her cage is there, and much to his own surprise, even Rose too. Wait a minute, he thought that he had tried to say goodbye to her in Avalon so seeing the little pink Pygmy Puff is a big surprise to him. Then he turns to find that his polearm had become very padded and his phone from Avalon didn’t work as at all. So he can’t be able to call King Arthur for help anytime soon.

But the most confusing thing he has stumbled upon to date happens to be the giant and grand scale of the castle before him. He knows that castles can be big in space like with Hogwarts Castle but this one has to take the cake. And it is a lot more beautiful than what Hogwarts is currently at, whoever did the maintance work sure does put a lot of effort to make it super pristine as it can be. But all he can muster to say at this time as he looks more confused by his new situation is “Where in the world I am in now?”

"Yeah. Why, have you met her already?"

[phoenixwiz]

“Um no, not yet, Kyoko. I am just wondering what she is like though,” he sheepishly admits to Kyoko.

[souls_of_roles]

"Oh... well... She's usually around. If you want, we can try to find her!"

[phoenixwiz]

“Oh yes, please. That would be really great, hopefully she doesn’t mind us dropping by and saying hello to her.”

[souls_of_roles]

"I'm not sure," she admitted, skipping along beside him. "She can be a little scary."

[phoenixwiz]

“Scary, heh? Wonder why she can be terrifying at times. I have dealt with scarier things in my life so far, so I’m not that awfully scared of a lady with a temper,” Harry knows well that a lady is capable of being in high levels of anger, just ask Ginny when she outright got mad at him for duping herself without warning her ahead of time at the onset of the Battle in Hogwarts.

[souls_of_roles]

"You'll see when you meet her. But like I said, the king is super nice. Oh! And you need to meet Malia! She's a fairy!"

[phoenixwiz]

“Oh wow! You’re friends with an actual fairy here? That’s pretty brilliant. Other than the Fae in Avalon, I never got to meet one myself so this is going to be an interesting meeting.”

[souls_of_roles]

"She's wonderful! She has all sorts of magic!"

[phoenixwiz]

“Alright! That’s even better, I would love to see what her magic is like.”

[souls_of_roles]

"Let's go find her then!" she said, grabbing his hand and racing off for the roses. Sh'd chck th kitchen next if Malia wasn't with her flowers.

[phoenixwiz]

“Oh good, that’s really brill - Whoa!” Harry didn’t get the check to catch his breath when Kyoko takes his hand and leads him to the gardens where her fairy friend is at.

He doesn’t even have time to ask her where they are heading to, but he has gotten used to Kyoko’s energetic eagerness by now that it doesn’t give him so much grief.

[queen_butterfly]

She wasn't in immediate view in the garden, as she wasn't down on the ground level. But if one looked up....

There was a dark shape perched up high, on the edge of the rooftop overlooking it. It might've been a shadow, but if so, there wasn't anything over it which ought to be casting it. On closer inspection, it looked as though someone was relaxing lying down, perhaps even actually taking a nap up there, almost out of view, dressed in dark black, equally dark hair twisted up behind her head into two low points. It was hard to make out, since really it was only one of her arms and the top of her head visible as she used the former as a makeshift pillow for the latter.

There was something a little off about the sight, though, that might have drawn their attention up to it -- that the shadows on the wall were a bit too dark to be quite right, moreso as they neared her. It was almost as if the darkness were subtly trying to guide their eyes up to where she'd hidden herself away.

Which was ridiculous; shadows didn't point toward her. What a ridiculous notion! ...She was merely stealing the sunlight, that was all. The faint little hint of cool air that fell away from that perch of hers was a simple matter of physics and temperature differences, nothing out of the ordinary....

Kyoko skidded to a stop at the roses and looked around for hr fairy friend. "MALLIA?!" she called, and she was not quiet. "MALLIIIAAAAAAAAAA!"

[phoenixwiz]

Right within Malia’s sight, a young brunet man sheepishly waves at her, not sure how she will react to him. His clothes don’t even scream interesting enough with just a henley style shirt, hooded jacket, jeans and sneakers. He also has a pink ball of fluff and a snow white owl who looks like she has a forever neutral resting face, not to mention the obviously padded polearm he has on hand.

“Oh, um, hi!” Harry squeaks as he greets her, “I’m a friend of Kyoko’s from another world. How are you today?”

[queen_butterfly]

She lifted her head quickly enough when yelled for, blinking, eyes owlishly wide for a moment, and then looked down to Harry, settling on giving him a bit of a smile. "I'm well enough."

She moved, and it was hard to tell if she actually pulled herself forward over the edge, or if she'd managed to swing herself around to go down feet-first, but it hardly mattered; her dress obscured everything anyway as she came down, landing with far too little sound as she stood back upright and stepped around the foliage. She gave Kyoko a sort of nod in greeting and a smile, and then turned her attention to the newcomer. "And yourself? I don't believe I caught sight of you earlier in the dining hall... Have you eaten?"

Kyoko might well not have been kidding, about her at least not being human; her eyes looked a little odd, dark purple irises bigger than a normal human's, and her ears were ever so subtly pointed.... Other than that, she seemed ordinary enough. Possibly. Ignoring the nonsense with the shadows, which had now quit said nonsense, and how she got down from her spot up there a few seconds ago....

[souls_of_roles]

"Mallia can make food - WITH MAGIC!" Kyoko squealed, dancing in place happily.

[phoenixwiz]

“I just got here from my previous trip to another world before this. I don’t think that I have eaten anything in a while,” Harry admits to Mallia, “Although I think that both Rose and Hedwig are more hungry than me.”

[queen_butterfly]

"Mm, well... let's see...."

She glanced aside, and gestured, and maybe she'd been holding that black cloth a second ago? It could have been lost from view in the drape of her outer sleeve, right? But even if she had been, there was no way to explain how it fell neatly over a little round tabletop that certainly hadn't existed there a moment ago. In fact, it may still not exist there; there didn't seem to be table legs sticking out from under the makeshift tablecloth.

"Well, I can think of something offhand I can do for this owl," she said, waving a hand in front of a bowl with a good few already-shelled and halved hard-boiled eggs that definitely hadn't just been there before, as though passing a hand over it was what made it visible. Which was probably the case, actually....

She didn't stop at the bowl of eggs, though. Another handwave, and more dishes appeared, ones with assortments of fresh fruits, bread, a few spreads for the latter... "And you, what's your preference? Sweet? Savory?" She made a small pie with dark fruit filling visible in the holes in the crust appear, and an omelet made with what looked like yellow meringue, with cheese and vegetables... bowls with different kinds of soup and pasta and even a plate of different kinds of cookies... a few different bottles and pitchers, wines and water and probably milk, and a pair of cups near them....

She looked back to Harry, her smile slightly sheepish. "I'm not certain what the other eats, though.... I don't suppose you could tell me?"

Judging by the way she gestured to the table and glanced back to Kyoko, the young lady was invited to join in as well, if she so wanted. Maybe that was why she'd put out enough food for at least half a dozen to have their fill?

[souls_of_roles]

Kyoko was beaming so bright she looked about to go supernova. "ISN'T SHE AMAZING?!" she asked, bouncing. "I wouldn't have been able to afford even a tenth of this back home! Faeries are really wonderful! They can fix anything. Well, any problems we mere mortals have!"

[phoenixwiz]

“I think that I might be looking for both sweet and savory right now,” he replies to her question, “The cookies and eggs are going to be a good treat after surviving an encounter with a powerful sword. Hedwig likes something a little more meaty. Maybe you can try to conjure something owls can eat like small rodents.”

Rose soon begins to happily munch on the food that Mallia has conjured up to her heart’s content as soon as he drops her off on the table. Harry is impressed, he hasn’t seen fae magic this impressive since his time in Avalon. The Fae of Avalon should be taking notes from her.

“Oh yeah. She sure has a great use of magic.”

[queen_butterfly]

Mallia nodded, noted the little pink one going after the other dishes, and eyed the bowl of eggs... well, she knew owls were carnivorous, but that's precisely where her problem with providing this was, unfortunately. Just because owls didn't eat boiled eggs in the wild, well... she'd hoped, but if it wouldn't do....

A silent sigh, putting one loosely-closed hand up to her lower lip as she thought it over. "I've never eaten rodents, though. I'd have no idea how they ought to taste." Nor, realistically, any confidence to speak of that this bird would be able to directly steer her magic toward giving it the taste it expected. It was a feat for humans, as it was, enough so that it was nearly unheard-of....

"But... I wonder...." It was barely a murmur to herself, as she focused on something in her other hand, opening it carefully... and then held it out for Hedwig in offering. What was it, a smallish crustacean? A fat green body, maybe two inches at its widest, with a couple skinny, short little legs... it might have looked familiar, but it was hard to say. It wasn't flat enough to be a crab, nor did it look to have any pinchers or other natural weapons. And it was about half translucent... but perhaps it would appeal to the fluffy raptor? It wasn't a rodent, for that kind of meat, and it would certainly prove soft enough to manage, if it tried....

[souls_of_roles]

"Whoa, is that some kind of fairy creature?" she asked Mallia, eyes sparkling. If they weren't all carful she might try to adopt it.

[phoenixwiz]

Hedwig looks at the crustacean very inquisitively. She hasn’t seen anything like it before but she is never the one to waste food a lot, especially if she is being offered one.

While she is normally fine with hunting her own meals, she greatly accepts this offer from Mallia with a gracious heart. Rose meanwhile continues to munch on some of the other food (rodents and rodent like creatures have big appetites, so she will be fine taking in so much food) while Harry picks up some cookies and eats them.

“Well, Hedwig thinks that the crustacean will be good enough for her. She accepts it,” he speaks to her on the owl’s behalf.

[queen_butterfly]

She gave the owl a nod, and with a small gesture, set down a little bowl of the green creatures for the owl to have her fill from. "I'm glad I could figure out something, at least," she said, smiling faintly. "Honestly, I barely remember those, but it's probably the closest I can come up with. Or want to, to be honest." Her nose may have wrinkled just slightly, if anyone were watching carefully enough to see.

Finally, she looked back to Kyoko. "And poppet, I'm afraid I'm becoming less and less convinced you're using that word the same way I or those like me would."
