"Sorry, dear there are no shining cities where we are going," Madelyn said with very little emotion I hate the graveyard the land is so stained by memories of the past it disrupts all cross temporal divination, but that also includes me.

"Grave…graveyards?" The smaller girl, Cyprus, spoke up concernedly as she began to walk next to Oliver, a nervous frown plastered on her face. She adjusted the rabbit mask resting on the bridge of her nose, hoping that they wouldn't encounter anything there.

"What, are you afraid?" Oliver answered with a teasing smile, hoping that it would offer some sort of reassurance to the daughter of the white rabbit. He wasn't too scared of strange things since he had been surrounded by them for most of his life, though graveyards had always made him a bit nervous. He didn't like the idea of walking around buried people.

//lmao I’m waiting for the graveyard,,, ahbe we should JUDT skip or something?

Madelyn tried to keep her eyes from wondering amongst the graves. Trying to prevent herself from using her ability, by trying to to dwell on or in one spot to long. Trying to stay detached as long as possible. It didn't help that her own nerves were on high alert with these people.

Reyna immediately floated to the nearby pond, tossing the shell in. Her gut told her that Theta should be here. And her mother always told her to listen to her gut. She also unclapsed the mask and slid it into her handbag. Uncomfortable as she was around these people (minus the Chesires, of course), this had to start with names.

"You should not throw things into the grieving wells," Madelyn said looking over at Reyna, "They are spiritual places that grieving people can use to come to terms with their loss, please don't disrespect them."

Just then, a geyser of water flew into the air, and Theta stepped out of the mist, a champagne glass still in her hand. The pale pink skirts of her dress floated in the water, looking like fallen rose petals. "Already?" she teased. "This a bit unorthodox for a lovers' tryst, but I suppose we can make it work- oh. You've brought a friend."

Madelyn's was a mixture of horror, disbelief, and a little bit of anger, "Please get out of the water. This is inappropriate, using a grieving well to summon your girlfriend."

"You people use this to bury your dead in?" Theta looked down at the muddy pond, algae smeared on one side of her dress. "And you want me to get out? Gladly." She waded towards the bank, brushing tiny beads of water off of her dress. As she ran her fingers through her dark hair, it slowly lightened and turned a bright lavender, her pale skin turning dark gray as well. A slip of paper with a strange rune on it suddenly appeared on her arm, peeling off and drifting away in the water.

"No, not burry, can't you see the grave stones?" Madelyn glared at her, "They are used to comfort the living. A grieving well can let you see the people who have passed on and even ask for advice." She walked over to the edge and kelt down."It's a place for the living not the dead." She placed a hand just barely on the surface of the water, I apologize, on their behalf. She pulled her hand away, I miss you.

"Oh," Theta said softly, wincing. Sorry. "I apologize. I'm… not very good at reading stagnant water."

Madelyn wince at the word Stagnant it had such negative connotation, "Underground springs with surface access pools, that water is at best still… not stagnate." She said standing up, "I under stand it might seem like silly superstition, but around here and at home it's tradition."

"I still don't fully understand, but I assume that it holds just as much importance as a coral reef. We believe that the souls of dead merfolk turn into sea foam and are reborn into the beautiful coral. … I assume that Reyna has told you about who I am?"

"Reyna? Hearts?" Madelyn turned to look at Reyna, "Oh, stitches."

//sORRY

Reyna turned around after giving her own apology, a passive smile on her face. “Reyna Hearts. And who am I speaking to?”

"I'm bit offended," Madelyn gave a nervous smiled, "We've met several times before and you've never hit on me." Teasing to calm her nerves a little, "Am I a little to insane?" She asked making sure Reyna got a good look at her eyes.

Reyna’s smile widened and turned into a genuine one. “Rather, I like things the way they are. Wouldn’t want to scare a friend off.”

“Your girlfriend is attracting all the ladies.” (Read: ur girlfriend is attracting all dem girlz) Chelsea whispered gleefully to Cade. Her eyes were twinkling mischievously.
“She is not my girlfriend,” Cade hissed, but then he shrugged, “…but that is a 100% true.”

"To be honest Reyna, not much scares , but you not knowing about the wells does bother me, I didn't think things were that different in the red court." Madelyn took out a rag and started to clean the paint off her face.
