Not so happily ever after after all....

"Do you think that I like having people listen to me all the time, when I don't know what on earth to say to them?!" Belle exclaimed. "At least you can go and set everyone right in the end, at least you're not under so much stress and confusion that you can tell everyone the right things, and at least everyone doesn't leave you afterwards." Belle spent a few moments catching her breath, then ran out of the building to get some time alone, wondering where on earth that had come from, and wishing desperately that she was just back at home with Papa.

Chip was unsure who to try and commiserate with: his old friend and surrogate older sister, or his new friend? He decided to stop dwelling on this for a bit, as he raised an eyebrow at the passed-out Ivan. "Spoon? Cupcake? What?"

The voice managed to snap Ivan out of his stupor. (at least a little bit)
(("Hello ma'am, are you with the post archaeologist? I'm expecting a beetroot. Souffle!!"))
"Huh? Oh, hi." Ivan said.

"Hello..." Chip trailed off awkwardly.

Red rolled her eyes. All that willpower not to and she ended up rolling them anyway.She sauntered towards an empty table and sat, aware she had probably just worsened her life a little. She choked down a sob and waited fpr someone to go over and scold her.

Chip sighed and decided to attend to Belle later. It was worse to try and comfort someone you thought you knew, but weren't sure you did anymore, than to comfort someone you'd only just met and gone off barely knowing.

"Hello," he said, sitting down next to Red. "I'm sorry that happened."

Belle sniffled a bit, and wiped away a few falling tears. She did feel horrible about everything...she just wanted to go home, wherever that was. She just wanted to go home and to have Papa back again. She just wanted to take back all the horrible things she'd ever said.

Aurora skipped over to Red and gave her a hug "Don't worry! I still love you!" ((lol.))

Hansel stood conspicuously in a corner.

Red shrugged. "at least somebody does." She muttered quietly. "Wanna order some food?

"Sure," Chip shrugged.

((*doesn't know what to do with Belle*

Evil Jilly: Kill her! Kill her now!
Good Jilly: No, I can't do that!
Evil Jilly: Meh. You spoil my fun.
Good Jilly: I thought I got rid of you! Hmph.

hahahaha))

Red signaled a girl in a long white dress who glided over."Yes?" She asked automatically, sounding rather lost in thought. Red leaned towards her.
"Three baker's rolls please......and a glass of Red wine in the coffer for thee." Red replied. The girl blinked, then seemed to come to a realization. She turned around quickly, and glided away.

"What do we do from here? Who are we meeting?" Chip asked.

Red smiled "You'll see..."

"Um...okay..." said Chip.

Carehm kept to himself in a corner of the tavern.

((*has writer's block, durn it*))

Red glanced over at Ivan. "Do you think he's okay?" She asked worriedly

breaking the fourth wall, Cian glares at Jilly and lectures her for an hour on how writer's block do not exist. Even though he is not even in this RP.

Hansel walked over to Belle "hallo."

Aurora bounced her way over to Ivan and poked him with a spoon.

Chip shrugged. "I don't know...he kept going on about a spoon and a cupcake..."

"Hello," Belle replied with a bit of a cough.

Red smiled slightly "Must've hit his head really hard...."

"Possibly..." Chip said.

Hansel sighed "This is reallt boring. I'm sick of waiting around. We need action."

"Sorry," Belle said. "What do you want to do, then?"

"No idea. I just think we need to move the plot along, any ideas?"

((I've got something in store.....something that will cause some action.))

The waitress glided back over. "Coming in a minute..." She said.

"Thanks," Chip said to the waitress. He then tapped Ivan on the shoulder. "Are you alright?"

Red tapped her fingers on the table restlessly, wondering why it was so hard to talk to Chip

Chip shook his head. Communicating with Ivan was a lost cause.

He turned to Red. "So...um..." His mind blanked. He had no idea what to say or talk about.


Belle shrugged and hugged her arms. She was feeling a little cold.

"Um yeah..." Said Red awkwardly.
