The good witch | Carla | Chapter One trial: Selena

Carla looked around as angry as ever, only wavering when Selena blew out a kiss.

“I don’t know what she’ll do. But I know her well enough to take a stand on her behalf while shes…. gone.”

She turned to face everyone with a confidant and aggressive stance.

“Selena is the nicest person i’ve ever met. I had emotions other than anger around her because even in just the span of a few days she made me comfortable. Even if that…”

She pointed at Selenas shadow form.

“Is part of her, I know theres more. I wont let anything happen to her.”

selenaofroses:

“Ah yes… a thing…” She smiles plaintively. “Lies… yes! Of course…” She shuffles her feet. When her family is mentioned, she takes a more definitive stance.

“This is nothing like my family’s castle My family’s castle is much more Grecian and Roman in nature…. much less Gothic and…much less purple. We were once a part of the Roman empire, in fact. Our historical sites from the era are very much well preserved. It’s beautiful, being there and seeing such an interesting part of history… We can learn so much from our past and our cultures! Don’t you think?”

Selena seems to realizing she’s rambling a little. “Forgive me! I did not mean to.. talk so much on the subject.” She feels her cheeks heat. “How much have you explored the grounds? I must say I was not… expecting something so elaborate.”

Hiding secrets... another thing Carla was very comfertable with. And the ‘lies’ they had heard together were something she had a feeling they were both content to never discuss again.

“Yes... all descriptions of royal stuff I very much know...”

She was lying.

“The Romans are interesting though. I’m very... familiar with their military culture. And their mythology. Greek and Roman myths were like the original version of modern superheroes.”

Carla almost looked like she was happy to talk about something for a second before remembering she was talking to someone and her usual expression returned.

“I did some exploring already. I found some weird creepy ghost in the forest and when I tried to fight it an axe appeared in my hand... somehow. What about you, find anything interesting?”

mikomikomii:

Miko continued his exploration of this strange new set they had all found themselves in, finding himself staring at this uncanny valley of a set. The women were just… standing there, staring with plastered grins.

They weren’t even doing anything. Are they even alive?

His focus was interrupted as someone spoke up, proobably addressing him.

“?”

His hair swayed behind him as he turned to look at the stranger.

“I’m just as confused

As you are about this set.

I mean, there’s women

But that’s about it.

I don’t even know if they’re

Alive or something.”

So... this guy is odd. Not that Carla could claim to be normal, but... something about this one gave off a weird feeling.

“Yeah these women sure are...”

Carla looked one in the eyes.

“Creepy. I’m not sure what to make of this set. Or what any of these sets are supposed to mean, if anything. But it seems like were stuck here, so...”

She scratched the back of her head in a confused manner.

“We’re gonna need to get used to these things. And each other.”

Carla turned to hold her fist out in an introductory fashion.

“I’m Carla. Who’re you?”

selenaofroses:

Selena hums. “I am very surprising. But I am also not-so-easily scared… A princess must have a thick skin, and be brave and loyal to her friends and country, always. But I think everyone here must be pretty brave… or we’d have all broken down by now.” She wrinkles her nose.

“What academy did you go to? Combatives and ‘MCMAP’ sounds… impressive! No wonder you’re not scared at all! I might be trying to fight everyone here, too, if I had your skillset! Hehe! What Academy did you go to? Is it famous?”

Carla nodded. Royalty would need composure to deal with intimidating people and soothing the public during a crisis... a young girl punching a wall must mean little to someone with much bigger problems of state.

“I suppose so. Someone with no backbone would have already fallen apart by now.”

And yet again Carla is left wondering why they are here. It must be an entertaining show, sure, but to what end? She could think of more than a few people who would want to get back at her like this. The only question is... can everyone else? What could this princess be like if they were grouped together in this thing?

“It’s... relatively famous. One of the biggest in America. Certainly the biggest in the south. It was brutal.”

Carla sighed.

“What about you? Where does a young princess like yourself go for school?”

“You are very violent, hm?” Selena smiles serenely. “First you try to throw things at people during Family Feud… now you’re punching walls…. Perhaps that is why the Host said you were our only hope… it’s because you love to fight so much…”

“Though I suppose other people wanted to fight as well. It was so much fun!” She giggles. “Do you have much fighting experience?” She asks quizzically, raising an eyebrow at her.

“You could be quite useful to have around!”

She has a seat in a nearby chair. “Come! Sit with me.”

Carla gave her a confused look as she rubbed her hurt hand. It was the princess. And formality was not Carla’s strong suit.

“In my defense, I didn’t actually throw anything... I just offered to. I’m surprised that game didn’t end in a fight. Guess I’m not the only one itching to fight my way home... Still doesn’t explain that comment, though.”

Carla sighed as she accepted her offer and sat down next to the princess. She continued to rub her hands, silently complaining that property damage was a rule now.

“Fighting experience? Yeah, quite a bit. I was trained in Combatives and some MCMAP at the academy.”

She shrugged it off causually, aparently forgetting that not everyone was trained in martial arts like her. She was quiet until she looked over at Selena and remembered who she was talking to.

“That’s... not important. I’m surprised you’re still talking to me. Most people run off after I break... attempt to break something.”

selenaofroses:

“As a child, I was given all the love in the world. My people, my parents… there were and are many rules for a Princess, but I never went a day without the respect and gentle kindness of my parents’ affections.”

“It feels like a different life sometimes,” she admits, still with that serene smile on her face. “I miss them dearly. But I remain faithful to my people and my country always.”

“But yes… eyeliner. Nothing drastic, just enough to accentuate your beautiful eyes. Though I admit I do do a perfect wing,” she giggles.

“What was your childhood like?”

So... a bit smothered then. Or surrounded in positive emotions, at least.

“Thanks I... never really thought my eyes were that beautiful, but... okay. Your wing is probably helping.”

Carla blushed a little, but mostly rolled her eyes. She would just pretend she new what a wing was and hope for the best.

“My... childhood?”

She stared off into space. Her eyes focused on the wall behind Selena, avoiding eye contact. She could almost hear the sounds again. Almost see the sights. Her childhood was always on the brink between clarity and bluriness, the days both blending together and standing apart.

“It was... strict.”

And she left it at that.

Say cheese! || Pre-game || Carla + Selena

selenaofroses:

Selena has the lip gloss applicator a milimeter away from Carla’s lips when she pulls back. Selena frowns–her lips falling into a sullen pout–for only a moment.

“You do not believe me?” Her smile quickly returns, teasing and knowing. “Must I pull out my tiara, my new friend?“ She giggles. “Now stay still.” She quickly puts on the perfect coat of lip gloss, making Carla’s lips look shiny, fresh–and smelling very and tasting very much like cherries.

“There! Much better! Now… eyeliner!”

Carla sat still quietly as Selena put the lip gloss on her. After, she pursed her lips... guess it does kinda taste like cherry.

“No, I... you’re odd enough I’m willing to believe that. What was growing up like? I’m not sure if youd be smothered or isolated, growing up a princess and all.”

Despite being very un-princess like, Carla felt like she could almost relate to it. The order, the precisly trained actions and etiquite, needing to do things the ‘proper’ way. Like her teenage years if they were extended to her whole life. Carla shivered at the thought.

“Eyeliner? I-is this going to be a full makeover?”

Carla still couldn’t figure out why she was letting this happen.

Say cheese! || Pre-game || Carla + Selena

[khalilmeansfriend-blog]

selenaofroses:

“Ah! Cherry! Excellent choice, my young friend!” She untwirls the cap and holds out the brush, getting closer. “Do you mind?” She quirks her eyebrows, asking silently if she can put it on Carla herself for The Perfect Coat of Gloss.

“Hmmm… I am certainly not,” she lies. “I am a very nice and friendly person! But my homeland felt that it would be in their best interests for their one and only Most Beloved Princess to raise publicity for our tourism industry. And thus, I am here. With no complaints, of course! A Princess always does what is best for her country, and she does it with a smile—as is her duty.”

As she says the words, they begin to seem… implausible. But she shrugs off the feeling. So much in her life is implausible–why begin questioning things now?

What, she wants to put make-up on me? Right now? Why am I doing this? I should probably say something...

“Uh... yeah, sure go ahead.”

Carla shrugged a little. Why did I say that? She wondered to herself, but she still didn’t protest. She couldn’t help but wonder why she was okay with this, but something about Selena was offputting enough to her that she didn’t really mind the make-up.

“W-wait... You’re actually a princess? Like daughter of royalty, next in line, all that? And you’re here, putting make-up on someone you’ve never met for tourism?”

She pulled back a little with an expression halfway between amusement and confusion. Confusement? Amusion?

“Ah! You are so pretty when you smile! I love it!” She beams brightly at her. Though most of her smiles are practiced, this one has an unbridled, genuine enthusiasm to it.

 “But, ah, yes. Flavor is very important, my new friend! A lip gloss with a nasty flavor can ruin your whole day! Do you like vanilla? Strawberry? Chocolate? Cherry?” She holds out four different glosses, each with a different flavor and effect.

“You seem like a cherry kind of friend…” She purses her lips, thinking. “But perhaps you will surprise me?” She giggles at that.

Selena seems to be very much in her own head right now, charging off on this without a second thought. She really does want to help. And it’s so nice having someone so normal to talk to. (Though Selena realizes she’s anything but.) Everyone else has been so… odd.

More smiles and more compliments! It was like dealing with a social expert! Carla had no idea when to smile and laugh and compliment but here they were handing them out like candy. Carla felt completely outmatched in the weirdest possible way.

“I guess flavor is kinda important if you have it on all day... I’ll uh... go with this one.”

She tapped one at random, not fully paying attention to each one individually. Oh well. Shes not one for strawberry, but the rest sound fine. 75% chance of something good was a risk she could take.

“Y’know, you dont seem the type for the kind of drama that goes on around here. Then again, I guess i’m not either, but... what made you come here?”

It was a question Carla had been asking herself since she got here, and one she still hadn’t found a suitable answer for. There were people and things that needed her attention back home, so... why is she here? Maybe someone elses reason could give her some insight on herself.

All in all, Jak felt a little out of place, considering how tall he was. He easily towered over everyone here, which was both an advantage and a disadvantage. Leaning more on the latter, considering how often he had to duck when going through a doorway. Now that he’d gotten settled into his room, he chose to look around and see if he could meet his other fellow contestants–that was probably important, after all. And hey, if he managed to forge alliances, he could stand a chance at winning?

❝I’m 6′9″, if yer curious! Milk candies work wonders, y’see?❞

He couldn’t help but puff his chest out a little. Being tall wasn’t so bad after all, especially if it served as a conversation starter.

❝’M feelin’ pretty ‘lright! And hey, this place is big–bigger than me! Ya were prolly just in a room or somethin’! Now, how’re you doin’?❞

Asking the question, he paused, and then looked at her bowl of chips. Were those…?

❝Heya, wh’t flavour’re those?❞

6′9′‘... now that was a size that would make almost make Carla reconsider getting into a fight. Almost, anyway. But... milk candies? She had no idea what those were but if they would make her that tall she’d be in.

“I uh... have been trying to avoid people for most of my time here, I guess.Makes sense I havent seen you.”

That voice was not the one she expected to come out of that figure, but who was she to judge?

“Oh, the chips. I’ll be honest I wasn’t exactly paying attention to what I grabbed, so...”

She held the bowl out (and up) to him., taking a chip out for herself.

“Let’s find out, I guess.”

@lamaisondieu

Being of average height and relatively buff figure, Carla figured she made a relativly imposing figure. If not in appearence, then in her attitude. So it was a strange feeling to run into someone who was as intimidating as she had been told she could be. Turning around the corner from the kitchen, she almost literally bumped into them and dropped her bowl of chips. With a quick apology, she started to walk away and thought to herself:

“Man... guess the shoes on the other foot now. How tall is that guy?”

Wait. She said that out loud. Whoops. Carla turned around to face towards him with a nervous half-smile of apology.

“Uhhh... Hi. I dont know how I havent ran into you before, but... how are you?”

She enunciated the last part as if she was asking herself more than asking them. Small talk is not her forte.

selenaofroses:

Selena smiled back at her. Blushing… how cute!

“I can teach you! I’m something of a make-up expert… a Princess must always look her best, after all! And! I think we’re a similar shade! Though you seem to have slightly warmer skin than I do,” she teases.

“But for you… you have such nice skin that I think all you need is a little lip gloss and mascara for a ‘natural, polished’ look.” She rummages through her purse, looking for her favorite lip glosses. “What’s your favorite flavor?”

Great, more smiles... Carla could not handle this much smiling.

“Heh... yeah I guess I am... warmer...?” She had no idea what that meant but she put on her most convincing smile (which was still pretty bad) to try and fake her way through the conversation.

“Favorite... flavor? What does that have to do with make-up?” Carla smiled at the idea of ice-cream flavoured camo paint. How would that help?

selenaofroses:

Selena is still confused. ‘N’ for neutral and ‘m’ for mad are not part of the acronym, after all. But that can’t be helped.

“Mmm… well, we can fix that? You are very beautiful. It would be a shame if you did not live up to your most camera-ready potential! Hehe! Do not worry… I, Princess Selena! Will help you out!” She gives her a wink and a smile.

“Do you wear any make-up?”

Number one thing Carla can’t handle: Friendliness. Number two thing: compliments.

“O-oh I... thank you? You’re... weirdly nice and I’m not sure how to handle it but...”

Carla ran her hand through her hair nervously, poorly trying to hide her blushing.

“Make-up? I never learned how to use make-up unless its camo related...”

Back in her day Carla could do a great bush camoflague.

selenaofroses:

“Um.. no. We have never talked before. However, we are on this show together! Hehe! And I would love if we did talk and did become the best of friends!”

Selena flounders to find some common ground here.

“What does RBFS mean? I love acronyms! LOL! JK! I’m DTF! Right?! Hehe!”

… She doesn’t know what DTF means. Help her.

The friendliness continued to offput Carla, breaking her already thin facade.

“Well... I guess we’re meeting now? I’m Carla It’s... weird to meet you.”

Carla didn’t even understand what half the acronyms she mentioned are.

“Oh it just means resting bit...” Carla paused for a moment, deciding it was better that they just didnt know. “Nevemind. It just means that my neutral face looks... mad?”
