[There's no words and no indication who this is, just a load of golden-brown and green sparkles from PIXIE DUST.

All over the page.]

I see... a starship?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

It could be!

Wait, starship?

[spandexisyouth]

Splendid!

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

[He brushes away just a little, possibly getting white/pale yellow on the page, illustrating what he sees as a Y-Wing.]

Look, here - near the bottom, these are the exhaust nacelles and the engines, here's where they connect, and here's the cockpit.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Isn't it just?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Oh! Yeah, I think I see what you mean. Gosh, a ship that really goes through the stars?

[spandexisyouth]

It is! It is sparkley and good!

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

Not through. To, and among, the stars. Just something about the shape I see here... it seems right.

[live_ringer]

It looks like Youth exploded.

[prez-leg-cramp.livejournal.com]

...did someone get a present?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Now you're just making it too easy.

[silver-antlers.livejournal.com]

...Having fun are you?

[live_ringer]

Now, now. Judging by the tiny handwriting above, there are probably children present. Play nice.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Tiny does not equal child.
Child does not even equal child, judging from the last event.

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

You haven't been swatting the glowing things, I hope.

[...he's touchy about that.]

[live_ringer]

I figured from the fact that fireflies don't tend to survive during winter to be a sign that something was up in the tree, so no. Granted, I almost swiped a few when I wasn't paying attention, but that was hardly willful.

[live_ringer]

You bring up a good point.

tiny pencil stub writing

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Exploded? Gosh, that's a little gruesome Gene.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Of course! That's the point of pixie dust.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Well, not really. Just the wings. And the sparkles.

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

Count yourself lucky that you didn't try it on me. Or around me.

[...flying!Rogue is more combative than usual!Rogue, so he's lectured a few people. And may have thrown a punch.]

bad writing, he's tiny

[darcyredux.livejournal.com]

No.

tiny pencil stub writing

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[live_ringer]

You act like I was intentionally swatting at people rather than just, y'know, walking around.

But I'll be mindful not to incur your tiny wrath from now on.

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

I know, but you'd be annoyed too if someone tried to hit you out of nowhere. And then did it to someone who's not skilled enough to dodge.

It's not going to be tiny forever.

[pause]

This is ridiculous.

[live_ringer]

Not if all that comes of it is a smattering of sparkles.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Yes, but grisly sparkles!

[live_ringer]

Jesus, cool your jets. I did say almost. No harm done in the moments where I wasn't aware that the tree was turning people fae.

You think?

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

I know it wasn't intentional and you didn't do anything. Sorry.


Amnesia or not, I think I can safely say that I've never made a more absurd veiled threat.

[live_ringer]

Sparkles of death and destruction? ...Kind of has a nice ring to it.

[live_ringer]

People must have been using flyswatters to get that sort of rise out of you.

Oh, good. I'd have to worry about you if it got worse than that.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Sounds kinda dazzling really.

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

Try a two-handed clap. If I hadn't bodychecked that kid... We're sturdier than we look, but I think something would have been broken at the least.

I'd worry about myself.

[live_ringer]

You're really milking that glitter stuff for all it's worth, aren't you?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Well, sure! It's cheerful~

[live_ringer]

Damn. That's a pretty violent reaction to something that I'm presuming isn't provoking anyone.

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

It's what you do to crush, rather than shoo away, an insect that hasn't landed on something. Not everyone does it, but it happens more often than it should.
