[Action for Tony Stark]
When morning comes the first day, Pepper decides to sleep in. She has no reason to rush out of bed, no urgent work that needs to be attended to. Particular not with the press of a familiar warmth against her back. She smiles to herself, still too deep in that sleepy haze to realize just what she's doing when she turns in bed to face him. She simply wants to cuddle closer, enjoy his embrace a little more.

Of course, that's easier said than done when the smoke fades and she has wings instead of arms.]


[Action Option 1!]
[After the chaotic mess that's her morning on Friday, Pepper heads outside to take solace in the sun. Not that it's entirely easy to recognize her among the flock of swans that seem to follow her around. But at the moment, Pepper is fine with that, content to swim in the fountain or fly over the gardens as she sorts out her thoughts. The tricky things about swans is that they can be aggressive when they see cause to be, so it might be best to approach with caution. Pepper isn't exactly in the best of moods.]

[Action Option 2!]
[Eventually Pepper does make her way back inside (quite possibly with a swan or two serving as escorts). She even transforms back into her human form and manages to get a set of clothing--though since she has no control over when this happens, there may be attempts at sneaking around to avoid possible awkward encounters. Ultimately she's going to be doing her best not to be thinking about any particular woes she may be having in her love life, so she can be found in any number of places inside. The pool or the roof are her favorite spots though: high places and water to swim in.]

[Anonymous Text]
[No, it isn't Pepper's typical avenue of confronting a problem. She'd much rather be direct when it comes to solving things. But with Tony once again hiding in the lab, she doesn't have too many options. Her circumstances are tricky ones, particularly since she knows she'd earn several unwanted I told you so's if the details got out in full. Her relationship with an outsider isn't at all secret, and also largely not approved of. Things have turned out badly enough without the naysayers in the family chiming in.

So, an anonymous text it is.]


Is there a time when you should give up fighting for something, even when it's what you thought you really wanted? Or if you still do, but it just feels like it's impossible to have?


[OOC: Event catch all for Pepper Liddell, possessed by the Swan. Please feel free to encounter her anywhere or contact her however you wish; I'm totally open for anything, planned or not, new cr or old. Either form is also fine; if you could just give me an idea of when/where/what she should be, that'd be great!

OH, also: the swans won't attack anyone outright. The worse they'll do is hiss unless someone wants an angry flock to deal with or is named Tony Stark. :)]

[It's probably the first full night of sleep he's gotten...Well, since showing up in Wonderland. There's always things to be done, ideas and worries and random thoughts waking him up in the middle of the night and refusing to leave him alone until he sneaks out of bed and down to the lab. It's rare enough during a good stretch; with circumstances as they are, it's practically a miracle.

But not only a full night's sleep; he's slept late. That, in and of itself might not seem odd to the casual observer, but apparently his body's needed more rest than he's given it credit for.

And as he starts swimming up towards being conscious, most surprising of all is the fact that, not only has he slept late, but judging at the warmth and weight at his front, he has certainly not been along in that outstanding achievement. And half-asleep, there are already a good baker's dozen snappy one offs that come to mind, a grin starting to form as he feels her start to turn.]


Hey, you know you- [What is that touching him. Is that a feather? Surely it's not a feather. She's been lying in wait for him to wake up, hasn't she. All this time giving him hell for not sleeping or eating properly, and then she lies in wait with a feather.

He's not sure whether to be proud of her, or annoyed.

But he cracks an eye, his grin growing a little wider-

And there's a swan. In bed. Not Pepper. A swan. And for a moment he can only stare through one sleep-bleary eye, before the other slowly opens to confirm that he is seeing what he seems to think he's seeing.

Why. Why is his life so hard. He's done many a strange thing in his life, mostly due to combination of attention-seeking and alcohol, and his own keen sense of bad judgement. But this? This is new. This is new, and he doesn't really want it to be a thing. He is not okay with this.

But he pushes back, and up, to the very edge of the bed, perching there and ready to move if that thing hisses at him; he knows they have bad attitudes, and he's not getting snapped by it.]


A swan. Okay, thanks, Wonderland. [He glances around the room, as though he'll find Pepper if he looks hard enough, before slowly returning to the swan in their bed.] I guess it's that again-

Are you...What am I talking about, you're a swan. [And back to scanning the room.] Hey, Pepper? Not funny.

[He's not entirely sure he hasn't finally dropped off that great precipice of sanity and plunged into the wild unknowns of 'we're all mad here'. Especially - especially - when not only does the swan talk, it sounds a whole lot (read: exactly) like his currently-missing girlfriend.

And he can only sit there, slack-jawed and slightly horror-struck, watching her spread her wings like it's normal, and like he should be a-ok with waking up to her being a swan.

Assuming, of course, it's actually Pepper. Given that they're in Wonderland, and it's been a whole two weeks since the last trip to crazytown, he's willing to bet it actually is.]


Wha-

[No. N o p e. Can't deal. Can't deal at all. His brain literally cannot parse what he's seeing. He reaches up and rubs his face, roughly, before looking again, and nope. Still a swan.]

Okay. Alright. [Not okay. Not alright.] It's just...That time again. These things last, what, a couple of days? Okay. We can totally do this. We can...

[He trails off, the words getting lost, because his girlfriend is a swan.]

I say we skip coffee and go right to the good stuff.

[ Bucky hates summer. Hates it. But it's not in his nature to spend all day cooped up in his room just because he's more comfortable there, and besides, he hasn't been back home all that long. He's missed his cousins.

He goes for a walk while the morning is still tolerably cool. Swans in the fountain aren't an unusual sight, but he would recognize Pepper anywhere, and if she's in animal form... Oh, this is not gonna be good. ]


Morning, sis. [ Bucky settles on the lip of the fountain, and toes off his shoes so he can stick his feet into the cool water. If Pepper didn't want company, that's too bad. She's getting it. ] You look like a lady who's got her feathers ruffled.

Not really? I mean, I haven't seen anyone else yet... What's goin' on?

widows_kiss: serious, curious (Hmmm)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2014-06-07 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Natasha hunting around the grounds for Pepper isn't exactly an uncommon occurrence, but she'd slept in late this morning and apparently she'd missed a lover's quarrel. By the time she's up and around, it's later in the day and she goes investigating her sister's usual haunts before she falls back on Plan B.

Which nobody wants, especially Pepper's currently in-the-doghouse boyfriend.

Fortunately for everyone involved Natasha finds Pepper near the pool and vengeance disaster is averted for a little while longer as she strolls in, looking casual and concerned, despite the way her gaze intently studies her sister as she approaches.

"Heard I missed a kerfluffle."
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Bemused)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2014-06-08 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Other than the fact that your boyfriend is trapped in his lab by a flock of pissy swans and had to call for help?"

There's both a note of concern and a fiendish hint of delight in Natasha's voice as she kicks off her sandals and strolls over to join her sister at the edge of the pool, sinking down beside her and letting her legs dangle in the heated water.

She glances over, studying Pepper intently. "No, not really, but I did just get up a little while ago. Why?"

hyperkinesia: (In a submerged pressurized container.)

[ A walk through the gardens isn't exactly a common endeavor for Bruce, but every once in a while he reminds himself it just might be for the best that he rediscovers there's actual sun outside. So he's strolling through the gardens, not in any particular direction, though he's just starting to get ready to go back inside when he passes by the fountain.

Strange. He'd never seen these many swans around there before. Then again, he didn't exactly spend a lot of his time there, so what does he know. Still, a bit curious, he stops and watches the birds for a little while. ]

[The only true sign so far that anything is different around the mansion is the fact that there have been a lot more animals scattered around. Mostly outside, but someone made a network message where they were surrounded by dogs, and just a quick glance out the front doors makes it clear that they've got a lot more furry (and scaled, and feathered) friends in Wonderland this weekend.

Steve doesn't know what to make of it, but if that's all the event boils down to, then he's not about to complain.

As he's heading back inside, though, he spots a few swans hanging around the first floor hallway. That's strange, but he figures they must have just wandered inside, and he knows better than to try and herd them back out.

So he moves up the stairs instead, and that's when he hears some footsteps ahead of him and catches red hair and bare skin disappearing around the turn in the stairwell. Steve speeds up without really thinking, because if it's who he thinks it is, then she may be in some kind of trouble. (Why else would she be running around without any clothes on?)]

[ Robin's in his animal form, having clumsily run into someone in the mansion earlier. He's adept at moving quickly out of view, knowing he'll transform without much pause, and he does his best to hide his curse from people outside of his family. Once he's in full fox form, he sprints outside, shaking out his fur and trotting around, stretching out his legs.

He actually enjoys being in this form, and rather than hide away until he changes back to human form, Robin wants to roam as much as possible. As he nears the fountains, his head lifts into the air, and it's obvious he's caught a scent. Pepper isn't immediately distinguishable, but he knows she's there, he can smell her. ]

[Darcy grabs some coffee, taking it outside with a warm croissant, tucking a couple pop-tarts, and a bagel wrapped safely in her bag for later. She'd taken to sitting in the garden by the fountain with her book and coffee, munching on whatever appealed to her until she's ready to start the day - today being no different as far as she knew.

The surprise at the sight of a swan in the fountain is enough to stop her in her tracks, toying with breaking from her routine. She knows swans can be aggressive, but the sight is so majestic - definitely the closest she's ever been to one.

Maybe she'll watch for just a few more moments before peacing out...]
