[ open ] America & Lucy catch-all!
Who: Lucy Steel Liddell (severedheads) & whoever! || AMERICA Alfred F. Liddell (monopolies) & whatever unfortunate soul he fails to land on
Where: Around the mansion, in the forest, wherever people are/aren't!
When: During the Fruits Basket event
Rating: PG-13 for possible dick sightings and pasty white boy ass
Summary: With memories altered, thinking they're possessed by the spirits of a Dik Dik and a Bald Eagle, Lucy tries to keep her "curse" under wraps while a fuckwit decides to be a plague on every family he has ever. Animals ensue.
The Story:
♘ Lucy
Before Wonderland replaced her memories of her husband and travels and the battle for the corpse parts with those of a cursed extended family, Lucy had still tried desperately to pretend to be ordinary. Now is no different. It seems no matter what life she lives, it'll be one fraught with danger and isolation. At least this time it's just a family curse that turns her into a tiny antelope. It could be much worse. She could be a girl with no powers trying to defend her oblivious husband (savior, mentor, best friend) from a national conspiracy to steal the corpse of Jesus, a conspiracy that goes all the way up to a super-powered President who has other powerful assassins at his bidding and way too much interest in Lucy.
Could be, but luckily she does not realize that's her reality. Lucy Liddell is just a young, unwed and not-completely-traumatized girl with a sweating problem.
The paranoia has remained in this life though. The "family" has taught her to be wary of outsiders and she doesn't want to tempt fate without very good reason. People have to be aware of the family curse--not all of her "cousins" are as cautious as she is after all--but she can pretend she's normal, if slightly flighty.
She smiles in the hall, nodding as scuttling away as though in a hurry, except she's never in a hurry because she has nowhere to be. Even around her cousins she looks jittery; maybe it's the prey instinct, be wary of everyone and everything until she's sure they're not going to attack her.
But it's the same instinct that draws her to groups, especially her extended family. Hovering quietly at the edge of meals, pretending to be busy with another task in the vicinity of others, it's a game of tug-of-war on her nerves between an innate desire to be with people and the cold hard reality that she should be solitary. And a strange sort of boldness that comes from a place inside her she can't quite identify helps her enter the kitchen, wander halls, and venture into the open air without losing her nerve and bolting.
In this life, Lucy's fleeting smiles aren't as rare. Not a regular occurrence, but hey, it's an improvement to all who've met her.
♘ America
Speaking of cousins who don't bother to keep their curse a secret, here's this piece of shit.
America (Alfred, actually, but his eyes light up and he responds positively to being called "America" because spirit of freedom bitches) doesn't try to hide who or what he is. It might even be hard to recognize that something's off about him this event, at least until he opens his mouth to bitch about how he's totally going to go out on his own and get a job one day far away from his family because that's what the spirit of freedom does! or approach girls outside the family with the ever-so-charming hey there stranger/bro/dollface I need to fly (literally) can ya help me out with a hug? no seriously I'm not hitting on you I like dick, oh and could you tape my glasses to my head? I can't see for shit even as a bird!
Because that is how you converse with people if you're Alfred.
And on those occasions where he reaches his final form but doesn't have the necessary eye wear, someone might get a massive bird crashing into/through their window, into their head, and if they're really lucky he'll stay a bird and not transform into a naked teenager while thrashing around on top of them.
His dinosaurs meander behind the God of Bald Eagles like kids who have been dragged to church by their family but are putting up with it because Sunday School gives them Capri Sun. To no one's surprise Jackson is the kid who constantly makes a fuss and complains nonstop to his mom. The complaining is irritating and constant.
