Meeting the Grove!

Alright so here is your guide to the Grove!

Rosie(she/her or fae/faer)- Rosie is the closest thing we have to our original host. She is a non binary trans girl who associated her gender with the fae. She likes to consider herself a sort of fey spirit often in the image of a Pixie or a Gnome. Fae likes to write and read poetry.

Mima Melonbun(she/her) originally a pathfinder character, when she retired from the game. We found her still with us in our headspace. She is demisexual. She is a halfling baker and cleric. She likes to come out and help out when other members of the system are cooking.

"It's all happening!" Almost Famous

"Behind the rabbit?" Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Every iconic line from RuPaul's Drag Race

What is your favorite flower?

Tulips 🌷

If you were in Avatar the Last Airbender what element would you want to bend? Earth, fire, water or air?

I'm not really familiar with it, but I'm going to say water.

What was your first job?

Selling tickets for kids to ride these stuffed animals at the mall (they hop on the saddle and then the springs inside the legs make them go forward).

What is your favorite breakfast?

I rarely eat breakfast, but when I do it's usually chocolate granola with blueberries/bananas and almond milk. Or toast topped with whatever since I'm basically addicted to it, otherwise it's usually just lots of green tea 🍵

What's a meal from childhood that you love?

When I was little, my dad and grandpa would go fishing and bring back various itty bitty ones that my mom and grandma would fry up. They would be crunchy and salty and my mom would put pieces on the softest bread and interchange feeding my brother and I, those were the days.

What's your favorite joke to tell?

I love telling long, elaborate, filthy af jokes in my native language, most of them supplied to me by my dad, but I don't think they'd translate well to English.

What's your favorite animal to see at the zoo?

Otters 🦦💙 They're my favorite animal, I could watch them play for hours.

What's your go to quick meal to cook/make at home?

Fry up some eggs and add whatever I have around, I love breakfast food.

If you were trapped in a kids tv show, what show would you be okay with being trapped in?

I can't remember a single kids tv show I've ever been interested in? Except The Tribe, but my parents would be dead then, so I don't think that's a good choice.

An adults tv show?

I was just telling my husband how much I love the bar and the community in Smiley today, so I'm going to go with that one.

What kind of job did you want as a child?

Teacher, singer/songwriter or writer. Got to do the first one for a while and I've kept the others as hobbies, so not bad.

Do you follow any sports? What team do you root for?

I used to follow my local basketball team cause it's the biggest sport in my city, now I transform into a soccer fan every four years for FIFA (mostly for the social aspect of tipsy game-watching and celebrating) and then go back to being clueless about everything.

If you could be any animal what would you be and why?

My bunny. Eating and sleeping all day while others pet me and tell me how cute I am? Sign me up 🐇

If you could be any mythological creature what would you be and why?

A fairy/pixie. I'd love to be able to fly and explore every nook if I'm tiny, the aesthetic is an added bonus.

For the everyone’s secretly a mythological creature au. This is all Characters I’ve figured out so far mythological creature wise.

Philza: Peryton

I often see Phil drawn with stag antlers and wings and immediately thought of this mythological creature. Are often seen as omens of death and destruction. In this au he files down his antlers when there coming in and passes himself off as a bird hybrid. You could also make this angst because Phil is a creature who brings destruction and death but he fight against his very nature adopting childish trying to cultivate instead of destroying only to watch it all fall apart.

Jack Manifold. Vampire (and completely in denial about it.)

Also trying to prove everyone else is a supernatural creature not out of malice but out of frustration that no one can see the obvious. (And no Niki I’m not burning in the sun I’ve just go sensitive skin and that obvious just one of those joke mirrors and wow I’ve suddenly developed an allergy to garlic which I’m going to ignore cause pizza- but Sapnap literally Just Lite That House On Fire With His Mind! Why aren’t we focusing on that!)

Dream: Nephilim

Abominations against the natural order, need I say more. Also I rarely see any evil nephlims which I think is a lack of imagination on are part; also-also eldritch winged Dream is Pog.

Hannah: Summer court Pixie ( after the fact she mentioned she loved it when people drew her as such.)

Funnily enough Hannah’s the most open about her mythological creature status and assumes everyone knows and excepts who she is. Not yet realizing that everyone on this server is a complete dumb ass and couldn’t see the truth if it slapped them in the face with a fish. But then again she thinks everyone is normal so idk what that says about her.

Foolish: an actual baby demi-god.

What more do I need to say, he’s a demi-god pretending to be normal and it shouldn’t be working but as I’ve said before, everyone is to oblivious to notice.

Karl: Mothman

He can see thru time and travel threw it. Also fluffy moth Karl that is all.

Ranboo: Dragon

His mama was the enderdragon he was the egg at the end. What happened between then and new L’manburg is a mystery, especially to Ranboo who’s assumed he’s a Enderman hybrid up until this point. He has so many panic attacks over this secret.

Tubbo: Dryad of spring

Has the wings of a bee, horns of a cow , flowers growing in his hair and the Lower legs of a deer, hides his wings as tattoos along his back ( Tommy is very jealous he wants tattoos!) and passes him self off as a moobloom with an amputated tail this some how works.

This is all I got so far is you have any more suggestions I’d love to here them? I’m feeling Siren for Wilbur maybe? idk how I feel about that, either Reynard Fox or Kitsune for Fundy. Anyways thank you for taking the time to answer all are asks, you and this blog are super Pog!

This fits them very well and I like it. I love all of these concepts a lot. I like it a lot.

Siren Wilbur is cool and Kitsune Fundy is something I love.

Glad you’re enjoying the blog!

Thanks for doing the RAICES fic fundraiser! It's inspiring to see people making art for good causes. Receipt: imgur(.)com(/)oGHPVPE Ok, so, Iron Fist was a mess but I love your Danny, you do a great job with him. So I'd like to request Danny-centric Defenders mini-casefic or team found family good-natured sass? Otherwise, if you're not good with that, I could go for some fabulous Pride lawyer silliness. Thanks!

I love writing Danny, thank you! (And thank you for donating!) This got…real silly, and ended up being as much about Jessica as Danny, and also Danny steered HARD into the goofball curve, but it was fun to write. Hope you enjoy!

Jessica had not been thrilled to be woken up by a phone call from Danny. Sure, it was two p.m. when he called - but on the other hand, it was Danny, and that didn’t seem worth getting up for any hour of the day.

But Danny had been insistent that she come over now, and so Jessica had pulled on her least stained jeans from off of the floor and sulked her way across town in a cab she fully intended on making her own personal Ralph Macchio pay for.

Now, as she stood between Luke and Matt, gaping at the thing Danny was holding in his lap, she was starting to understand his urgency.

“Is that…” Matt started to say, closed his mouth, opened it again, and shook his head.

Colleen, sitting on the couch, put her face in her hands. She looked tired.

Matt tried again. “I’m assuming that my senses are letting me down right now and that is not, in fact, a dragon?”

“It’s totally a dragon!” Danny said, beaming up at them. The green, slinky thing in his lap stretched and yawned like a cat before burping out a puff of fire. “Isn’t it awesome?”

“Sweet Christmas,” Luke said.

“Where the fuck did you get a dragon, Rand,” Jessica said, once she’d found some alcohol in Danny’s fridge - Mike’s Hard Lemonade because he was an actual child, but better than nothing.

“Farmers’ market,” Danny said, scratching the dragon under the chin.

“What,” Matt said.

“It wasn’t a farmers’ market,” Colleen said with a sigh. “I told him to meet me at the farmers’ market and he got lost and wound up at some weird street fair instead. With dragons, apparently.”

“You can buy dragons at a street fair?” Luke asked.

“No,” Danny said, in a tone like Luke had said something ridiculous. Well, like Luke had been the first person in the room to say something ridiculous. “I bought a dragon egg. I’ve had it for months.”

Jessica and Luke looked at Colleen. Even Matt pointed his chin at her.

“Don’t blame me for this!” she said, throwing her hands up. “This apartment has ten bedrooms! I don’t check them all on the regular for mythological beings.”

Danny shrugged. “I mean, don’t get me wrong, I figured it was a scam or a dud, or just, you know, a really cool paperweight. It’s really hard to get dragon eggs in this hemisphere. But it was only a couple thousand dollars…”

“Oh, of course,” Luke muttered.

“…and even if it wasn’t a real egg it was so cool looking. You guys didn’t see the shell, it was neat. And the guy who sold it to me kept winking, like, hey man, this is the real deal. So I thought I’d stick it in a spare bedroom, crank the heat up in there, and if it didn’t hatch in a few months, that was that. But…” Danny gestured to the dragon as if anyone else had been able to stop thinking “HOLY SHIT THERE’S A DRAGON IN HERE” the entire time he’d been talking. “It hatched!”

“And then it peed everywhere,” Colleen added.

“And then it peed everywhere!” Danny agreed. Jessica had never seen him so happy.

If Jessica was good at anything, it was finding out weird shit on the internet. She sat down in Danny’s “office” - more like a sticker collection room than anything, honestly - and opened his laptop. “This is too nice of a computer for you to use for nothing but Neopets, you know,” Jessica muttered.

“I needed to make sure my little dudes were still alive!” Danny protested. “I was away a long time.”

Jessica rolled her eyes and started searching. “Are you going on the dark web?” Danny asked, craning over her shoulder. She put a hand on his face and pushed him away.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” Luke said, then glanced at Jessica. “Are you?”

“No,” she said. “There’s this forum, Strange Tales dot com. People talk about weird stuff they’ve seen and heard, try to get confirmation of it. These days it’s mostly people debating whether it’s Avengers shit or not, but sometimes there’s sightings of, oh, a man in black backflipping off a roof. A guy punching his way out of prison.” A flying, super-strong woman, too, but she’d done her best to discredit those sightings with the several identities she’d created on the forum until she hadn’t been able to hide any longer. “If anyone knows how to get rid of a dragon, these nutbars do.”

“But I don’t want to get rid of Shou Little!” Danny protested, hugging the baby dragon to him. It bit him. “Ow. I love her!”

“Shou Little?” Matt repeated.

“The dragon I got my powers form is named Shou Lao. She’s much smaller, so…” Danny shrugged like it was obvious. “I just shrugged, sorry, Matt.”

“I know,” Matt said.

“How do you know she’s a she?” Jessica asked. If mystical kung fu monk training involved studying dragon genitals, she officially quit.

“I don’t, not really, but she’s pretty tough, so I just assumed,” Danny explained. The dragon - Shou Little, apparently, bit him again. “Ow!”

Okay. Maybe Jessica wouldn’t quit just yet.

“If dragons are real, what else is real?” Matt asked.

“My disinterest in this conversation?” Jessica asked, glancing away from the computer for a minute. Matt and Colleen were stretching side by side in matching and frankly implausible looking poses, while Danny lay sprawled on the floor beside them. Luke at least knew what furniture was for, and had commandeered the office couch.

“I’m asking Danny, not you,” Matt said. “Okay, we have dragons. Does this mean…unicorns are real? Pixies? Demons?”

Luke raised his eyebrows and lifted his hand. Shou Little hung determinedly from his finger. She had been gnawing on him for ten minutes, ever since he’d offered himself as a more durable chew toy than Danny. “Worried you’re going to get in trouble for biting the underworld’s style?”

“Look, we’ve already dealt with resurrection and now dragons. I’m just wondering if mermaids are next down the pipeline,” Matt said.

Danny shrugged. “Unicorns and pixies are western mythology. Shou Little’s a Chinese dragon. I have no idea if that means the European ones are real, too.”

“Okay, so what else is in Chinese mythology?” Luke asked.

“K’un-Lun isn’t really part of China per se, but, uh…fenghuang,” Danny said, glancing at Colleen.

“Nian,” she added. “Fox spirits. Spirits in general.”

“And mermaids?” Matt asked.

Jessica turned all the way around. “What is it with you and mermaids? You really into clamshell bras or something?”

Matt gave her that annoying deadpan look that meant he could be joking or just that weirdly intense. It was harder to read when he was upside down. “We live on an island! It seems like pertinent information.”

“I’d worry less about mermaids and more about water dragons,” Danny said matter-of-factly.

“Water dragons?” Luke repeated.

“Grawr,” Shou Little added.

It took Jessica thirty-eight minutes to sort through all the tinfoil-hat selfies and conspiracy theories to find rumors of an honest-to-fuck dragon sanctuary in Ghuizhou Province, eleven minutes of Danny and Colleen having two separate phone conversations in Mandarin to confirm that this place was apparently somehow for real, forty-seven minutes for Matt and Luke to go to the nearest grocery store with Danny’s gold card and buy all the fish they could carry to feed the little monster…

(“She likes gummi worms too,” Danny had assured them. “I checked.”)

…and going on two and a half hours trying to convince Danny that no, he could not keep a dragon in a midtown Manhattan high rise.

“It’s a big apartment!” he insisted, clutching at her. “She’ll have plenty of room!”

“Didn’t you say Shou Lao filled an entire mountain?” Colleen asked.

“Maybe Shou Little won’t get so big! Her name’s only Shou Little, not Shou Big!”

“You named her that! Today!”

“You have neighbors,” Matt pointed out. “Neighbors who will notice weird noises and floors shaking and the fact that you’re covered in blood from dragon bites all the time.”

“Says the guy who crawls half-dead into his own apartment four nights a week,” Luke muttered. Matt frowned. “What? You think Claire doesn’t tell me all your business?”

“Matt’s still right, even if he is also stupid,” Jessica said. “Do you want to be stupid like Matt, Danny?”

“Hey,” Matt said.

“No,” Danny admitted.

“Hey!”

“She doesn’t belong here,” Colleen pressed. “She was stolen. She needs to go home.”

Danny was clearly weakening, but he still clung to Shou Little. “But she loves me!” Shou Little bit him. “Ow!”

“Look, man, we can just get you a puppy,” Luke said.

“I’m a millionaire. I can have both.”

“Dragon might eat the puppy,” Matt pointed out.

“Dragon might eat you,” Luke added.

“Come on, Jackie Paper, give it up,” Jessica said. “We’ve been here for hours and I have paying clients to meet with…” Malcolm had her schedule. “…eventually. Probably.”

Colleen sat down next to Danny and put a hand on his knee. “Hey. Danny, talk to me. What’s the actual issue here?”

Danny frowned at her, then dropped his gaze back to the dragon in his lap. His eyes softened. “Look, I know she doesn’t belong here,” he admitted. “I do. But…I get what that’s like. Not to belong. And I thought that maybe if the two of us didn’t belong with anyone else…”

Matt’s eyebrows shot up. “That’s what this is? You’re looking for another fish out of water?” Shou Little raised her head at the word “fish.” “No, you had your dinner. These are metaphorical fish.”

“Stop arguing with the lizard, Murdock,” Jessica muttered.

“There wasn’t anyone like me in K'un Lun,” Danny said. “And there’s not anyone like me here.”

“You think there’s a lot of bulletproof dudes walking around this city?” Luke asked.

“Or people who can hear heartbeats?” Matt added.

“I carry a sword around a crowded metropolitan area,” Colleen pointed out.

They all looked at Jessica - well, except Matt.

“What?” she asked. “I’m completely normal. You four are the weirdoes.”

“See? And then there’s Jessica,” Matt said. Jessica flipped him the bird. “I know you did that.”

“That’s why I did it.”

“You’re not the only freak around,” Colleen said. “So why don’t you let Shou Little go back to where she belongs, huh?”

Danny sighed. Then he looked up at them and grinned. “Only if Jessica says she loves me just the way I am.”

Jessica crossed her arms. “Looks like we’re keeping the dragon.”

“Jessica.”

“What?”

This whole dragon thing was unutterably stupid, but Jessica wasn’t going to pass up a free trip to China if Danny was willing to cart all of them there. She’d take a week’s vacation in China over snapping dirty photos of cheating spouses any day. Even Claire and Misty and Matt’s fluffy lawyer friend had managed to get themselves invited.

Of course, it was entirely possible that Danny had invited them all because the kid was terrified of flying. He’d been deathly pale the whole way to the airport, and clutching the armrests of his seat long before they even started taxiing. Jessica was no good at comforting, so while the others kept Danny distracted and soothed up at the front of the plane, she sprawled sideways across some seats in the back, staring out the window and working her way through a few of those tiny bottles of hooch.

A scratching noise made her look up just as Shou Little - who Danny had given free run of the plane because he had a brain like a Hostess snack - clambered up onto her seat. Jessica sat still and wary as the baby dragon picked her way up over Jessica’s legs, her tiny claws poking through the denim. Shou Little sniffed at the bottle in Jessica’s hand, sneezed, then sat down and looked up at Jessica with shiny black eyes.

“What,” Jessica said.

Shou Little stared at her.

“Go on, go cuddle up to Danny,” Jessica said. “Or Nelson, he lost his mind over you.”

Shou Little didn’t budge. Jessica thought about dumping the thing off her lap, but…oh, fuck it, she wasn’t a total monster. And when was she going to get to chill with a dragon again?

“Fine, stay there if you want,” she said. “We’re landing in less than an hour anyway.”

She turned her head to gaze out the window again at the unfamiliar landscape far below. Shou Little inched closer, up over Jessica’s thighs and belly until she could peek out the window herself.

“What?” Jessica followed the dragon’s gaze to the ground. “That’s where you’re from. Whadya think?”

Shou Little stared blankly at Jessica, and Jessica realized belatedly she was talking to an animal like it could understand her. On the other hand, it was a magic animal. Who knew what the rules were?

Still, she dropped her voice so that the others couldn’t hear her. Well, Matt could still hear her, but if he tried to make fun of her for it later she had a list of burns as long as her arm that would probably make Lawyer Boy cry.

“Come on,” she said to Shou Little. “You didn’t want to stay in New York. It’s basically a pit. Way too many people and way overpriced. Plus you’d have to live with Danny and he’d probably make you do Mommy and Me yoga or something. You don’t want to sink to that level.”

Shou Little sank down against her and rested her head against Jessica’s stomach.

“Oh no,” Jessica said. “Don’t try to get around me. Better babies than you have tried. Malcolm…” Who she had eventually befriended and hired. Bad example. “Okay, Danny…” Who had convinced her to fly around the world on the silliest escapade she’d ever been a part of. “Whatever. Bambi eyes don’t work on me. And neither does cuddling."

Shou Little let out a tiny squeak of a yawn.

“…Ah, fuck it,” Jessica said, and gave in to the urge to pet the little monster, right behind her frilled crest. Shou Little closed her eyes and rested her head on her front claws.

“You’ll be okay,” Jessica told her. “Apparently there’s other dragons at this place. I guess even freaks of nature can manage to find each other.”

Something made her look up. Back up at the front of the plane, Danny was facing her, looking less pale than he had before, and Claire was leaning in saying something low and probably extremely sensible to him.

His gaze flickered to the dragon in her lap and then back up. Jessica scowled at him.

He grinned and gave her a thumbs up.

Jessica rolled her eyes and looked back down at the sleeping Shou Little. “See?” she whispered. “Even that dope. Even me.”

She looked out at the green, terraced landscape beneath them, growing closer every minute. “Yeah,” she said, running a finger down Shou Little’s spiny back. “You’ll be just fine.”

Dragon: Pixiu - Obelisk Male

(Obelisk scroll applied on 2021-06-16) (Python scroll applied on 2021-06-16) (Striation scroll applied on 2021-06-16) (Scales scroll applied on 2021-06-16)

Purchased For: 25,000 treasure Hatched On: 2021-05-23 ID: 69543483

Parentage: Jasujung/Cernunnos Flight: Nature

Primary: Twilight Fade Basic Python Secondary: Cornflower Blend Basic Striation Tertiary: Sky Capsule Basic Scales Eyes: Common

Comments: Purchased as a mate for Pixie, my first gen Obelisk. His primary and secondary colours reverse hers, and his tertiary makes their range run all the way up into the blues.

I love how dramatic of an appearance his genetics worked out as.

His name is an auspicious Chinese lion-dragon mythological creature, said to have the head of a dragon, the body of a lion, and feathered wings, which certainly comes close to describing this new breed. It is also in part a nod of the head to China’s successful manned rocket launch earlier this evening; clearly an auspicious event.

Cat Eyes - Update

So, I finally got a chance to talk with Cat Eyes about her glasses. She was out near the cafeteria selling them, like she was the first week, so I just kinda came up to her table. She seemed a bit surprised that somebody approached her, I’m guessing students tend to give her a wide berth. Anyways, I gave her an eraser shaped like a burger in exchange for some information-- I’m having a lot of fun with all these practice deals! According to her, she would have “given me advice free of charge,” but I think its a good plan to get as much experience as I can.

Back on subject, though. She told me that if we were going to do it with deals, she’d give me answers to two questions in return for the eraser, in precise language (so no obfuscation or cryptic-ness) and going into depth. Here’s what I learned:

Question One: I know that “Them”, “The Fair Folk”, and “The Gentry” all refer to the same beings. I also know that They are not human. What are They?

Answer: If you’re familiar with folklore at all, you’ll probably recognize Them from all kids of lore, particularly Irish and Celtic. When we say “Fair Folk”, we generally mean (she leaned in and spoke very softly, as if afraid that something might overhear us) “faeries”. I didn’t mean to startle you, it’s just that the Gentry prefer not to be called that.

I looked at her disbelievingly. “Faeries?”

“Come on. That has to ring a bell. And I’m not talking about Tinkerbell or happy little people with pixie wings, either. I’m talking real, mythologically accurate Fair Folk. The kind that people leave offering out for, in case they take a liking to your child and try to steal it away. The kind that will make people dance until their feet are bleeding.” She blinked. “Next question.”

At this point, I was just more confused than I was in the beginning. Yes, what she said made logical sense- it fits in with all the warnings and precautions people have been sending all of us, especially the stuff about iron, but faeries?

Question two didn’t do much to help.

Question two: How do I get my eye back?

Answer: You don’t. You’ve already experienced how cruel They can be- if you try to make another deal, there’s no telling what will happen. You could lose your memories, your other eye, even your autonomy. Think about it this way- you know wha happened with Paintedface, and she’s one of the kinder ones. Yes, you could potentially get it back by dealing with Them. But if you’re smart, you’ll just let sleeping dogs lie.

I gave her the eraser when it became clear she wasn’t going to say any more. She took it, and didn’t thank me (another point in favor of faeries. But there has to be another, more logical explanation. I mean, ghosts? I’ll believe that. Cryptids? Sure. But faeries? Those are just children’s stories.), and I didn’t thank her either. I also asked her if her glasses had any prescription, but she said they were just for fashion and for Sight--I assume she meant the kind of sight Paintedface gave me, not normal sight, so I didn’t press any further. Plus, I ran out of cool erasers.

Look, when I was a kid, I was obsessed with the Fae. I used to make-believe with my friend that we had the Sight, and we would have these ridiculously long and involved LARPing sessions on the playground of our school. I read every book there was to read, I stayed up all night writing stories. Hell, I used to leave out little bowls filled with sugar and berries for the fae. But...that was all just a little kid’s imagination. I know that faeries aren’t real! Even seeing myself type out those words is bizarre, because that should be so obvious! I won’t lie and say that I’ve grown out of my obsession with faeries and changelings, because I love folklore and a good adventure, but I KNOW they aren’t real!!!

So why am I finding myself wondering if they might be real after all?
