[open] Ding dong the witch is
Who: Zelena and You!
Where: Throughout the Mansion
When: 12th - 14th
Rating: PG
Summary: Zelena tried the punch, so for three days, she's not really wicked at all.
The Story:
It might be obvious to some, but Zelena doesn't really care or put too much stock into things that go on here that don't directly affect or, to be more accurate, inconvenience her. So when she took a sip of the punch in the kitchens, she wasn't even remotely worried about or even thinking of anything out of the ordinary going on with everyone else.
Now once she drinks that punch, that all changes. Now she's actually interested in talking to people. She's socializing and happy and friendly and basically all the things that she wasn't before. Well not all of them, she's still green. And her fashion sense is about the same as it was before. But at least she's not being abrasive and making vague threats towards people, or anything like that, right?
So for the next three days, wherever you find Zelena in the mansion, expect well, conversations for starters because odds are she'd ignore most people anyways, but pleasant conversations! Even if you're related to her, and she'd normally want to remove you from existence, for the next three days she doesn't want to do that! Enjoy it while it lasts because once things wear off in three days, she'll be back to normal. Or slightly worse than normal because of all this.

Or she would feel that way on any other day, but today instead of an annoyed look and bitter remarks towards Emma, she just has a friendly smile instead. So it might be apparent that something here is very very off. Or maybe she's finally come around to actually listening to what everyone keeps telling her about giving up on her grudges and all of that? No, it's more likely something's off.
“Good news? No, I don't think so,” she says, looking cheery and not at all like she's about to throw fireballs or anything like that. And she's certainly acting completely oblivious towards that expression on Emma's face. “I just feel like...”
How to put this, how to put this.
“Like I don't have to act the way I've been doing anymore. It's pointless, really. Not going to change anything about Wonderland, so why not enjoy my time here instead?”
no subject
Emma shifts uncomfortably, arms folded across her chest as she narrows her gaze at someone she's almost positive was an enemy-- that much hasn't changed, so what was with the attitude overhaul? Something about it is distinctly not right and makes her suddenly feel as though she's stepped into some kind of bodysnatchers flick.
She'd comfort herself with the fact that that couldn't happen here, except that it had. Way to go, Wonderland. You make all creepy things possible.
"That's a... refreshingly positive outlook, I guess." She doesn't sound convinced. None of it sounds like Zelena. "So what, you're just giving up the whole jealous vengeance angle?"
no subject
“Giving it up?”
Actually...yes, she supposes that is what she's doing. That's all so mean spirited and awful and she has a hard time seeing why she ever did it in the first place.
“Yes, actually. Wasted too much of my life doing that, when I could've been getting to know people. Or having conversations like this.”
There's another one of those freaky pod person smiles.
“Before today, I wouldn't have bothered with this conversation. Probably would've just threatened you to stay out of my way or else. So being able to talk like this? It's nice.”
no subject
That really isn't what Emma expected. Not in the least. She can't help frowning; things can't possibly be this simple. Zelena has never made anything easy for any of them.
"Right. It's-- nice." She doesn't sound all that convinced, but she's not beating a hasty retreat, either. That's progress, isn't it? "So that's it. You just want to kick back and get to know the locals all of a sudden?"
Weird.
"Why the change of heart?"
no subject
That's the truth of it. Sure, the change of heart was mysteriously timed around the time she drank that punch, but she doesn't know for sure if it had anything to do with it. Even if it did, it doesn't really matter. The truth of the matter is...
“Don't care.”
That. Exactly that. She doesn't really care what caused it. She just knows that she currently feels this way, and she actually likes it. Maybe this was the way to go instead of banishing Glinda to another realm for tricking her into trying to be like this.
“And why not get to know everyone? Not like I'm going anywhere anytime soon. That's how Wonderland works, right?”
no subject
But no. This is definitely out of the ordinary.
"Well, yeah, that's how Wonderland works, but most people don't take that to mean it's time to toss all their grudges aside." Even if some people probably should. "Usually whatever feuds are going strong outside of Wonderland are still in full-swing here."
no subject
Not that she can really talk. She was in the same boat up until recently. Carrying on the same old grudges she had prior to Wonderland here in Wonderland against her sister and well, anyone who associated with her, until probably the end of time or until she turns back time. Whichever comes first.
“Can't say I see a reason to act like that anymore though. It's all so...so pointless.”
She doesn't really regret anything she's done, but she certainly doesn't see the point in continuing with it now. After all stealing Mary Margaret's nonexistent baby just doesn't seem like as good an idea as it did prior to drinking that punch. Now it just sounds mean, and definitely not cheery or friendly.
no subject
Even with Zelena as seemingly careless as she is now, it's not the answer Emma had expected from her. Frankly, she's not sure what to expect at the moment; nothing that's come out of Zelena's mouth sounds anything like her, or at least not like the Zelena she'd had the occasion to meet.
"Yeah. Yeah, pointless is right. This place kind of has us all at a stalemate to begin with, but even beyond that-- baby stealing is kind of frowned upon."
She's just saying, Zelena.
no subject
You just had to bring up the baby stealing, didn't you, Emma? If she wasn't so goshdarn happy right now, she'd be...probably some mixture of pissed off and annoyed. Honestly, it's not like she even cares about Snow's baby beyond using it to open a time travel portal, so beyond that, who cares? She can have the damn thing back if it somehow still exists by the time she's through.
But anyway, um, happy, right. So not dwelling on that. Not dwelling on it at all. Nope. Or at least not until this all wears off, then she's back to looking at the people here and looking at her time travel spell ingredient checklist for the foreseeable future.
“But not something I really have to worry about one way or the other. Even if I wanted to, which I don't, there's hardly one around to steal now, is there?”
