route_1065 | And The Walls Came Tumbling Down

[So there's a princess roaming around Johto in more than a bit of a panic. ...Well, in all fairness, if the last thing you remembered was not only trapping your sister in an urn while under a magic spell but also being frozen solid by your aunt (who, by the way, you only just found out existed and is most definitely evil), you'd probably have more than a few questions yourself! The only things she knew now were that she was in a strange new place with lots of interesting people and creatures she's never seen before in her life...but that definitely wasn't helping her with figuring out what happened with Ingrid, or Elsa, unless she took the time out to question everybody. But, gosh, where did she even begin...

The small red lizard that had been keeping her company since she got here had seemed friendly enough, though! But questioning people seemed like a far more option than just, well, venting to it, so one might find her going about pulling people over and asking them what probably amounts to way too many questions way too quickly. It's kind of frustrating hearing people say the same thing over and over, though..! At least the music's kind of catchy...]

[Anna isn't the only wandering royal new to this land. Elsa had been stuck in a fit of panic all day, a fit the strange little tree creature had been trying calm her down from; trying, and failing, though it's still rather determined to get the queen to just stop and rest for a bit.

The past few weeks had been a mess, and this was just making things even worse. Once again, she woke up in a strange land, right after a rather emotionally upheaving moment, and now it happened again, even more questions buzzing around in her head along with everything else she had been worrying herself sick over since she awoke in Storybrooke.

... Of course, those questions come to a screeching halt when she spots a familiar head of red hair just down the road, and her heart nearly stops along with them.]

... Anna?

E-Elsa?!

[Oh thank God, she literally could not be happier to hear that voice. She desperately desperately hopes that the person calling her name is who she thinks it is, because she's turning around faster than she's ever turned around before, her heart pounding at a mile a minute when she sees her sister...and just like that, she's running and before she knows it Elsa's there and in her arms and it's way too much for her not to actually break down right then and there. She's never held her sister this tightly before, and she's not about to let go anytime soon.]

Oh, God, Elsa, thank goodness you're okay...

Anna!

[Anna's hug probably does hurt a bit, but right now, Elsa really doesn't care. After everything that happened prior to her imprisonment, after waiting and searching for so long in Storybrooke... Elsa's not going to complain one bit about Anna hugging her. Besides, she's probably hugging Anna just as tight right now.]

And you! Oh Anna, I've been so worried..

You've been worried?! I've been worried! I'm so happy you're alright, after everything that happened with Ingrid and that stupid urn back at the castle and oh my goodness I'm so sorry for everything that happened...

[She's shaking in Elsa's arms now, utterly revolted that she could do something like that, even if she wasn't in control of her actions at the time...]

I can't believe I let her do something like that...

[Elsa was never good at comfort, having been the one needing it instead of giving it for almost all of their lives, but damnit, she's going to do whatever she can to help her sister. So she just holds her tighter, trying to stop Anna's trembling from getting any worse.]

It wasn't you, Anna. I know it wasn't. It was some... curse, some kind of magic. That's what's to blame. Not you. Okay?

I know, I know, but still! That mirror of hers is terrible, and it made me do some terrible, terrible things, but still, I should've done something! If I didn't let her catch me off-guard like that, I totally could've had her, but she surprised me and, well, I guess you know the rest...

[Having Elsa here is most certainly helping, but she's still really kicking herself over this. She was supposed to protect her sister, not be the one she needs protection from!]

...But at least you're safe now! I don't know where we are now, or how far away from Arendelle we are, but it's not important, we're together now! ...Of course, uh, if you know anything about this place, that would definitely be a big help...

[If there's one person that knows how futile it is to try and get someone to stop beating themselves up, it's Elsa. She's sort of a master of ignoring people when they try and do that with her. So instead, she focuses on something she can help with.

... Sort of.]

I'm afraid I'm just as clueless about our location as you are, Anna. I just... suddenly woke up here. [Please don't let this become a trend...] It looks nothing like Arendelle or Storybrooke...

What the heck is Storybrooke..?

[But if Elsa had no idea how they wound up here, too...she must have gotten out of the urn somehow, and something must have happened with Ingrid for her to be unfrozen, but just what is going on here? ...And on another note, she motions towards the cute little Snover...]

Is that where you met that new friend of yours?

[Elsa laughs.]

I'm still not even sure how to explain it. It's a whole different world, similar to this one, and yet completely different...

... They have magic there, Anna. People who use it and aren't afraid of it. People who like it. It's so completely different from Arendelle.

[She knows she's kinda repeating herself here BUT SHE REALLY DOESN'T HAVE THE WORDS FOR HOW STRANGE THIS ALL IS...]

New fr-- oh! [She looks down at the Snover standing next to her, waving it's short arms and smiling. He seems happy now that Elsa is happy!!] No, I met this little one here. He was just... there, when I woke up.

Wait, so it's like a whole world full of people who have powers like you do?

[She knows just how excited she was to have first met someone who had powers like she did ~~even if she was super-sketchy~~, so for her sister to have found an entire world where people have powers and embrace them and use them to do wonderful things like she does...]

That's incredible, Elsa! I'm so happy that you found a place like that! You have to tell me all about it! Do they have ice powers like you do, or is it all different cool stuff? Did you make friends with a lot of people there?

[She smiles at the Snover, happy to see that he's in good spirits now. Her Charmander seems pretty happy, himself!]

Same with me and this cutie, though! He was trapped in some kind of weird ball that was with me..I can't imagine why, though.

[It takes Elsa a second to respond, because oh god, she missed this. She missed hearing her sister ramble like that. Some people might be a little put off with being assaulted with questions like that... but not Elsa.]

Their magic is very versatile. The people there can do things I could never even dream of doing. [Her smile softens a bit.] And... yes, I did make some friends. Friends who were able to understand what I was going through. Friends I was able to help...

It's an interesting place. I think you'd like it.

Edited 2014-11-30 20:22 (UTC)

I'm sure I would! It's a place where you're happy to be yourself and be with people who know your struggles and your magic and everything! I mean, who wouldn't want to be in that kind of a place?

[She's really happy to see her sister so thrilled over this...]

Once we figure out what's going on here, we should go back there together! I mean, you have to introduce me to everyone, right?

[Ah, and here comes the part where Elsa pauses...]

Anna, I don't think that's a good idea. Not yet, at least. [Elsa fully intends to go back as soon as possible, but Anna... as much as she'd love to have Anna by her side again, she can't risk it.] Ingrid is there. I don't know what she's planning, but it can't be good. Whatever it is, I don't want you getting caught up in it.

Wait, what? But what is she doing there?! Is she planning on using that mirror? ...What am I saying, it's Ingrid, of course she's gonna use the stupid mirror, but if you're gonna go back there, I can't just let you go by yourself! Whatever it is, we can beat it together, can't we?

Anna.

[It's very rare for Elsa to put a stop to Anna's rambling. That's when you know she's being super serious.]

You know there's nothing more I'd want than you being with me again. And I do want you there with me. But the fact that I don't know what Ingrid is planning means I don't know what she'd do if she sees you again.

I can't... I can't let you disappear again, Anna.

And I can't let you disappear again, Elsa! What if something happens to you out there? I thought I lost you when I woke up and that urn wasn't there, I can't just let that happen again, to let you go off and beat that evil aunt of ours without me...

[Elsa's not the only one being serious about this, apparently.]

I know it's dangerous, and I know you don't want me to get hurt, but, please, Elsa. If, Heaven forbid, anything goes wrong, I'll never forgive myself for letting you go back alone... At the very least, let me help somehow, I mean, I need to do what I can if you're gonna go over there and stop her...

[God... just what did Anna go through? The things she was saying... Elsa avoided asking about htem as Anna rambled before, because she didn't want to spoil the reunion, but she was getting curious. However, her curiosity could wait until later, at least.]

Nothing is going to make me disappear again. Ingrid... she wants me alive. So I can be her new "sister". She can't have that if I'm locked away again, right?

[At least... she hopes so.]

But you... I don't know what she'll do to my real sister. She already tried turning everyone who cared about Emma against her so she'd join her... I can't let her do that with you. She's going to try to separate us one way or another.

[Oh Elsa, if you only knew the full story...]

Her new...sister? That's...pretty messed up. I mean, yeah,I'm glad that means you're kind of sort of safe? But not really safe because, you know, she's almost more skeevy than Hans is...

[Different kinds of skeeve, really, but they're both still pretty icky.]

Whatever she does, though, it can't really be worse than what she already di--wait, hold on, do you not remember what happened..?

[Not that she exactly wants to fill her in, but...]

... Yeah, I think you're right. Hans wanted to kill us and take over, but there's something... infinitely more disturbing than forcing someone to love you against their will.

[Besides, Elsa will never, ever see anyone other than Anna as her sister.]

... She said... [Elsa's eyebrows furrow, and she frowns. She doesn't really like thinking about what Ingrid used to try and plant the seeds of mistrust in her, but because Anna asked...] She said that you were the one that sealed me away. Because you didn't really understand me, and that you were scared of me...

But I know that's not true! I know how you really feel, Anna. I know you better than she ever could.

I'd rather not take any chances, is all I'm saying. I know you're worried about me, but, we're a team, Elsa. If you have to go there alone...I'd never ever forgive myself.

And, well, she's right that I sealed you away, but I only did because she put me under the spell of that stupid mirror! Not that it makes it any less terrible, but, she put a curse on me and made me evil, and I couldn't really do anything to stop it... You know how much I love you and your powers, I would never do something like that on my own! But that mirror she has made me say some really terrible things...it's just like that one legend, remember? With the king who lost his daughter? He used a mirror to make everyone in the kingdom turn against each other and see only the worst parts of others, and that's exactly what Ingrid's gonna do in this Storybrooke place, I just know it!

Whoa whoa, one at a time!

[This young stranger is all too willing to answer what questions he can, so long as he can parse them.]

Just got here, huh?

[He's also got a floating ice cream cone circling about, which peers at Anna with curiosity while making sure to keep far away from her Charmander friend.]

Edited 2014-12-02 07:19 (UTC)

Um, well, sorta! I mean, yes! This place is really weird, and I don't really know what's going on, but, uh, yeah, I'm definitely confused...

[Yikes, this is more than a little awkward...at the very least, she seems like she's kind of friendly, once she's not absolutely panicking. And her Charmander doesn't bite, though that fire on his tail might be a little hot!]

Would you mind at least telling me where I am?

[Yep, Vanillite is keeping a steady distance from that tail, though it tinkles cheerfully at Anna. Hello!]

I'm not 100% sure myself, to be honest. Though, uh, I guess you've never heard of Pokémon before.

[Something about her clothes is telling him the answer is 'no']

Pokemon? I've never heard of anything like that in my life...it sounds really weird. Is that the name of the place that we're in? The Pokemon kingdom? ...Huh, come to think of it, it does kind of roll off the tongue a little.
