the snow isn't snow. not all of it.
the flurries taste like mint and there are things blending with them. the elders said they sound like ice pixis.
i couldntc atch anything the melt right onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
,e
me
ate on e
but i heard compla;ning

[ obviously someone would complain if they got eaten! a few moments later: ]

the elders have stories about them being part of The Courts, changing the seasons. nasty, mischievous, know how to hold a grudge if you don’t like the cold, but nothing’s happened to me, at least.

does anyone know more about these? any try to catch them to confirm? if they caused this storm, makes a lot more sense.

Kind if like we come from different dimensions? How do you--do they get to it?

[Because, well, he assumes it's not very accessible to them at present.]

[usurpers]

Who knows. No one's went to find out.

[ —looks like the room is cleaned out, too. only some places are damp, so! time to fire breathe. it's small and controlled, just enough to lick at the floors and get them dryer. ]

There's only one account that speaks of a monster that guards the courts. It was only accounted once, on an expedition to Dewaint Forest a hundred so years ago. No one who saw it came back sane enough to retell. [ a pause ] Just speculations from spectators based on lore.

[hippocarnival]

Uh... [What does 'not sane enough' entail... actually, maybe he doesn't want to know.] Is that thing normal or because of the Cwyld?

[usurpers]

Cwyld. The biggest Cwyldite, even. [ . . . ] At least the survivors say so.

[hippocarnival]

Huh... but if they did go somewhere, it wasn't all of them, right? That's why there's fae living in Aef, too. That was a while ago?

[usurpers]

A hundred years ago.

[ and, to finish that thought: ]

The fae in Aefenglom aren’t true fae.

[hippocarnival]

Then what are true fae? [What's the difference? Obviously, he doesn't slot the Mirrorbound in with them, but he was sure there are natives.]

[usurpers]

Ask around. [ honestly, he’s heard a few accounts and none are conclusive, but . . . yuya looks like an inquisitive kid. you can’t just spoon feed that kind of potential. ] You might hear some interesting stories.

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya doesn't exactly look satisfied with that answer.] Okay, so what makes the fae that live here not true fae?

[usurpers]

[ search for ‘em, young grasshopper ]

Years of mixing with humans and other monsters— that’s how Pucas were born, if I’m not wrong.
