You're From The Isle If Anybody Asks

[missrecalled_mods]

First Awareness

Those used to this by now probably knew what it meant when they felt their magic return for a moment. For the rest, suddenly their powers were back. Just for a few minutes, but a lot could be done in a few minutes. If the person even noticed their powers were back, that is.

Of course those on the shore might have seen the hazy indistinct shape through the barrier coming closer, might have seen the moment the hole in the barrier opened. Might have seen King Ben leading people down a gangplank through the barrier with crates of supplies....

Unions, Re And Otherwise

Once the supplies were unloaded, the barrier was sealed up again. King Ben seemed to be in charge during the unloading, Once the barrier was closed again, by the green magic streaming from the Queen's finger, it was Mal who seemed to be in charge.

"Alright, listen up. We have 2 hours and the clock is ticking. I'm not FG but we're keeping to a deadline anyway. If you want to come to Auradon or know someone you want us to bring back, you have 2 hours to convince us. You and everyone else, sharing the same 2 hours. Along with anyone who has a supply request for our next visit, or updates. Those of you bringing supplies to the school, time to get cracking. Two hours passes faster than midnight at the ball."

Those Who Left

(Please TL Here for boat and Auradon Shenanigans. TY)

Those What Remain

Once those going back to Auradon had left and the barrier was back in place, it was for those who remained on the Isle to sort the supplies and figure out how to get done everything that needed to be done with the people that remained.

"...I think, perhaps, that that word means something very different to you, than it does to me. Where I'm from, it's naught but an insult. Elves, dragons, unicorns, fairies, and many other manners of being one may find strange or unlike oneself, we call alker, not monster. And I think perhaps you're being a bit quick to judge, as well. Not all humans mean anyone harm... and not all who appear human are."

[fallen_child]

"Monsters are those of us who aren't humans and are nice and kind and just want to live and see the son and be left alone. Humans are the mean ones who want to hurt and kill and locked us up Underground."

[queen_butterfly]

"Again... that may be what that word means where you're from, but that is not what that word means, from whence I've come. And there are all sorts of humans. Not just terrible ones. I'm sorry you've apparently had to deal with some of those that mean ill, but that really isn't fair to all of the rest of them."

[fallen_child]

"I don't have to be fair," they said, sulking. "They killed Asriel..." their voice wavered with a hiccup as they tried not to cry. "Just for being a monster."

[queen_butterfly]

"And I don't have to be fair either, do I. I could decide to dislike all children, because some of them would try to catch and keep me, when I was very small. But refusing to be better gets one nowhere, it only creates more problems."

[fallen_child]

"I just wanna help all Monsters an never hafta see a human ever again."

[queen_butterfly]

"We all have wants, poppet. Some, a fair deal kinder than others... but helping one needn't mean being senselessly hostile to another. Perhaps the common factor wasn't simply that they were humans. What if it were something else, and they all merely happened to also look like humans?"

[fallen_child]

Chara seemed to take that as an attack. "I'm a monster!" the kid protested defensively.

[queen_butterfly]

"I wasn't discussing what you prefer to call yourself. I'm saying that them being human was almost assuredly not what caused them to behave terribly. Perhaps it was that their parents lied to them when they were children, about anyone who wasn't also human, and they believed them? And because of that, they grew to hate others? That happens a lot where I'm from as well, unfortunately...."

[fallen_child]

"Why does it matter why?! They still killed him! They still banished all monsters they couldn't kill!"

[queen_butterfly]

"It matters," she said, "because you seem to think that it was because they were humans. And therefore you're against all humans. And I'm informing you that you're being terribly unfair, and quite disagreeably judgmental toward people here who don't deserve it."

[fallen_child]

"They were judgermental first!" they protested, going back to trying to get free.

[queen_butterfly]

"The people here were? Howso? ...Who was it?" Good luck; she still had the kid on her hip, and was now making her way back to where the cargo was.

CW: death mentions

[fallen_child]

"Back home! When I died and Asriel was trying to bring my body to the flowers!" They were too angry to think about what they were saying. "I told Asriel that was what humans were like! But Asriel didn't listen!" Crying now and struggling harder.
