Vail Ski Resort | Sunday Morning, 10/17

[ft_directory]

The Fandomites' last morning in Vail dawned cool and clear, the resort warm enough to get by with a light jacket, the slopes above frosty and crisp.

The portal back to Fandom would arrive after lunch, so now was time for packing, last-minute souvenir-shopping, or one final lift up the mountain to the wonderful land of snow-sports.

Or alternatively, freaking the heck out in your hotel room because Fandom knows no boundaries of distance or decency when it comes to attacking its current and former residents in their sleep to leave ladybits where manbits used to be, and manbits where... you get the picture.

So might the maid, if you forgot to leave the Do Not Disturb sign out.

"You look like your sister then?" Oh god, no. Bad Maladicta! Bad!

Re: Room 111

Even Alexander could pick up on the badness in that statement, arching an eyebrow as he settled the trousers into place.

"Yes, I suppose I do..."

"I'll have to meet her next time she visits you."

Re: Room 111

Alexander tried to picture this meeting.

Alexander cleared his throat.

"I am...not very sure that is an entirely good idea, actually."

Re: Room 111

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Why not?" Stop taking this dream from her, you evil man!

Re: Room 111

"Do you remember," asked Alexander, "my initial reaction when we first met, Maladicta?"

Re: Room 111

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Because of my name?" And not the, you know, vampirism.

Re: Room 111

"That," Alexander nodded, "and I'm fairly sure it wouldn't take a pile of ash for Rosella to put a few pieces of a puzzle together."

And they were a resourceful lot, so it wouldn't surprise him at all if she'd have a stake conveniently in her inventory.

"Your sister isn't very polite, is she?" BECAUSE STAKING SOMEONE WASN'T POLITE, DAMN IT.

"Despite our mother's best efforts, no," Alexander had to laugh a bit at that. "Besides, she's just always been very...direct. And our family does have a bit of a...past with this sort of thing, and she takes after my father in that her solution tends to be to act first, ask questions later."

Maladicta offered over the shirt, giving him a concerned look. "I don't think your entire family would like me very much then."

Re: Room 111

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"Not at first, no," Alexander had to admit with a faint smile as he took the shirt. "But I'm sure they'd warm up to you once they got to know you."

Re: Room 111

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"As long as I don't stay a small pile of ash for too long," Maladicta added.

Re: Room 111

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"No worries there," Alexander assured her. "I'll always e ready to change you back before any rough winds set in."

But there was a slight pause as he pictured Rosella just staking Maladicta again seconds after she'd returned to form.

"Does it hurt much?" he wondered, buttoning his shirt. "The whole turning into ash thing?"

Re: Room 111

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Not really. It's mostly just annoying." Now sunlight hurt. That was just horrid.

Re: Room 111

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"That's good to hear, then," said Alexander, with a nod. Because, while annoying Maladicta had certain levels of fun to it, he'd never want to put her through pain if it could be avoided.

Re: Room 111

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

Maladicta snorted, smoothing his shirt so it lay right on her chest. "You're taking this change well, you know."

Re: Room 111

"As are you, I should note," Alexander pointed out. "It's very...strange, there is no denial in that, but it helps knowing first and foremost that I am not the only one this is happening too, and panicking or worrying about it will do us no good. Unless you think this is not one of those things and you believe nefarious forces may be at work?"

Re: Room 111

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"If it's nefarious forces, I think between the pair of us, they don't really stand a chance." One can turn them into cats and the other can rip their heads off!

Re: Room 111

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

A comment like that could only make Alexander smile.

"Precisely" he said. "Nothing to worry about."

Re: Room 111

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Did we want to go see how well our classmates are faring?" Oh, that was evil there.

Re: Room 111

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"We probably should," Alexander said in a tone of agreement. "Now that we're both somewhat suitably dressed, I feel it is almost our obligation to make sure that there is not trouble afoot and, if everyone is afflicted with a similar state, then it is most certainly one of those things and not something we should have to investigate."

Re: Room 111

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"I have been hearing a lot of screams of horror..."

Re: Room 111

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"A promising sign?" asked Alexander. "Should we prepare ourselves for magical gender-swapping pixies?"

Re: Room 111

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Pictsies? They'd be too drunk to do this."
