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.

Gabriel frowned thoughtfully as he listened to Cassidy and Grey's explanation. "I understand," he said. "At least as much as possible from a brief explanation. And while I'm willing to respect your traditions as much as is reasonably possible, that does not extend to being willing to allow either of you to harm yourselves, whatever the reason. The same is true for anyone else here."

"Also, if I might be blunt, you're making a rather large assumption by deciding that the people here would even want you to help them in such a way. They may well have other plans to fertilize the soil that you don't know about, and could find the implication that they need your help to do so insulting, however well-intentioned the offer might be. It might be best to consult those who actually live here and find out their views on the matter, rather than simply assuming that you know what's best for them and their land."

Cassidy looked taken back by Gabriel's point. "I... was led to believe that there is no Queen in charge of the Isles save the Territory Queen Mal... of course I would not so offend my sisters if I knew one was here as to imply she could not give the same gift that I could. If you could tell me who the Queen is for this Isle, I will of corse speak with her and her Court about the matter at once."

He shook his head. "That's not quite what I meant," he said. "I don't think this Isle has any Queens other than Mal- at least not currently. There is a woman who claims the title of 'Lady', but according to Queen Mal and King Ben, she's not someone you'd want to associate with, to say the least, and I'm inclined to trust their judgement."

"I more meant to simply consult with the people who live here, or a representative of them, before you do anything rash. They may well have ways to fertilize the soil that don't require blood or magic at all. They may be unwilling to accept mor help than is absolutely necessary. At present, we don't know. And whether they have your inherent abilities or not, regardless of their title or their gender, their wishes should be respected. "

"But... are we here long enough for those kinds of negotiations?" Cassidy asked, though she was clearly softening to his point.
