four - place the moon at my eyes

[kingsroads]

[ the post goes up late Thursday, into the evening hours. and MAN is Strange so thankful for this magical journal system. He really doesn't want to have to write this multiple times. ]

One of our new visitors is an enchanter of some sort. He has cursed me and trapped Sabriel.

Francis, McGonagall, I shall need your help. I cannot save Sabriel alone. Likewise, I will need to help of any new magicians who might have arrived with the visitors. As I cannot tell the new magicians this myself, I am relying on the rest of the ship's crew to pass on this message as I cannot myself. Please meet me at my room—the proper one, not my cursed apartment.

Persson, Sheehan, I have a question of you. How can one dream up an item they had back home? Does it work the same as the communal dream of Goodsir and Jopson's rooms or can I do this by myself? I know the item's properties perfectly as I created it myself, I simply need it here. Do not come to me in person, simply respond with your journal.

As for the rest of the ship, I need a mirror and something dead—flowers, perhaps? Please leave them outside my door if you have them. There is a spell I can still cast, a spell to see what my enemy is doing. I do not know who my enemy is but the enchanter hurt Sabriel. Undoubtedly he is my enemy and undoubtedly he is on this ship.

Stay safe.

That does sound a little personal and Strange wants all the details. "Do you mean to tell me you've actually dealt with Mab? What about Oberon? Or Titania?"

He is far too excited right now.

Molly gives a smile that's half a wince. "I'm the Winter Lady, Mr. Strange, and Mab is the Winter Queen. A deal with her is how I got to where I am today, and I've been dealing with her regularly ever since, for better or worse. Titania is her sister. I don't know Oberon, but he may go by a different name. It happens sometimes." She smiles a little. "Different names and different personae for different situations."

[kingsroads]

"You see, that's the interesting thing," Strange starts, still bursting with excitement and nosiness. "That title? The Winter Queen? It means nothing to me, just as I suspect the name John Uskglass means nothing to you. But our worlds share Mab and Titania despite our differences."

[goodgrasshopper]

Molly gives him a curious look at that. "What, no Winter and Summer Courts where you are?"

[kingsroads]

Strange shakes his head. "Fairies mostly have their own private kingdoms or domains in my world. They are places with names like Lost Hope or the Castle of the Plucked Eye and Heart. There are some who obviously have more power and influence than others, but I haven't heard of kingdoms named the Winter or Summer Court before."

She gives him a bemused look. "Really? Arctis Tor? Arctic Minora? The Ways? None of that rings a bell? That's so odd." She's not really used to people being familiar with the faerie realms but not he spaces she knows. This is... okay, weirdly fascinating.

[kingsroads]

Strange shakes his head. Nope, none of them ring a bell. "But to be fair, if I mentioned John Uskglass, the king's roads, or the kingdom of Lost-Hope, I suspect you'd look at me with confusion as well."

Which is something that he's kind of gotten used to.
