Rules:

✦ Post with your character! Name and series in the header.

✦ DO NOT LEAVE YOUR COMMENT BLANK.

✦ Your character has touched the worry tree.  The Fairies may not have taken their worries away but they HAVE compelled them to talk about them.  So in the comment body write out you character saying whatever they're currently worried or concerned about.  This could be something from canon, something from a game, something that happened in another meme.

✦ It doesn't have to be long, just make sure you give other people enough to respond to.

1. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm hungry because I'm hungry or because I feel like I'll panic if I don't eat something.

2. What if everyone who was ever nice to me was just lying about it?

3. I miss my family.

[ooc: skinny, goofy werewolf that's secretly sad inside....or maybe not so secretly, for this meme. (also i'm a rebel and am giving multiple options yeeee boi) more info in journal!]

[ I'm sorry she's like this ]

1. O' divine successor of the omniscient and eminent being! I, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, expressed her royal concern over the state of the inhabitant of this dimension! What is the finest path for one to heighten their intestinal fortitude to safeguard those who weren't blessed with a champion's instinct? What if those attempts bear no fruit in the climax of this story?

2. I wish to be able to find an accomplice who is worthy to walk alongside of this road to the seventh hell with yours truly, yet it seems no one put outstanding effort to get into my radar. Pray tell o' fairies, am I never going to find such perfect companionship?

3. I fear the day that my predecessor would left this realm. Have I succeeded them and made them jubilant that I am finally worthy for carrying their legacy in the form of their last name?

[ In case you're going to ask for it... No, she didn't hit her head or anything. She's just on the very faaaaaar side of the Being Weird As Fuck end on the spectrum. ]

1. I worry that all the attention I bring will bring harm to the people I care about.

2. I worry that someone else will get killed trying to protect me.

3. I worry I’ll never see my family again.

I am afraid someone isn’t who they say they are...and not o my that...that they mean everyone else harm.

1. I don't know if I'm more freaked out by the idea that we killed a bunch of people or, like, if maybe we didn't.

2. What are we gonna we tell Casey's parents? Should we tell Casey's parents? Or just let them keep thinking he's out there...

3. Sometimes the two of us actually making it out to Bright Harbor doesn't even seem real. Like, until it happens, part of me is so scared it won't really happen.

4. I just feel such a huge piece of shit. Like I have such a hard time believing I'm a good person or can be a good person without fucking everything up...

Eskel || The Witcher || OTA

[wolfdogwitcher]

I don't know how to be anything what I am. Am I gonna die alone in a crumbling keep at the edge of the world, while my brothers-- and the world-- moves on without me?

[inachinashop]

I've heard families can get kind of weird, but aren't brothers supposed to help you out with that before it gets that bad?

[wolfdogwitcher]

I intend to keep to the vows I took when I was barely a man, and that includes my post in the only home I've ever known. I can see that they are both stepping away from that part of our lives and I'm happy for them, but...sometimes the worry sneaks up on me and I don't like it.

[inachinashop]

Huh. So, you all took the same vows, but they're not into it any more? Not the way you are?

[wolfdogwitcher]

I think they want to keep our occupation, but they've fallen in love and dreamt of lives in the wider world [He shrugs his enormous shoulders, a boyish, rolling motion of attempted indifference.] They've suffered more, I guess, so I don't think I blame 'em for wanting something else. I was too young to remember the mother that gave me up and I survived our rites and shit without getting too fucked up. Of course I would think the old keep is my only home, of course I would be unable to imagine a life of anything but the way I was raised, only imagine a future where I go on like I always have. My only hope is that something kills me before I get too old.

[He yanks his hand off the tree as if burned.] Fuck, sorry. I don't usually run my mouth like that.

i'm familiar with the books and the games, and couldn't help but jump on this

[lettenhove]

[ don't ask how or why jaskier is here ( he has his reasons, okay. and it's not because he's pining for a woman—this time ) but he is and he recognizes that pendant. he's not yet met another witcher, but they can't all be as grumpy as geralt. ]

I doubt that will happen. As the self-proclaimed expert on witchers, the sworn chronicler of your kind's heroics, and based on general observations— [ he spreads his hands out ] —I can honestly say that you all don't seem the type to abandon your family.

I am *always* happy to welcome any form of this bard <3

[wolfdogwitcher]

[He wouldn't even dare question why Jaskier is there, from what he understands the man has a tendency to just pop up. Like some kind of weed, thistle maybe, or dandelion. He pulls his hands away from the tree and shakes his head. Of course it had been foolish to try for himself whatever magical effect the tree imposed and even moreso to do it without checking for an audience.

And what an audience it is, he thinks, taking the sight of the bard in.] Let's see, sandy colored hair, fancy clothes...[He circles the human, dark amber eyes taking in all the details.] Fine silk, bright colors. Lute on your back that looks elf-made. Loudly proclaiming your expertise in the affairs of witchers. [He grins, a well-meant but hellishly lopsided smile in his ruined face.] I'll be damned, you must be Jaskier.

[Maybe if he never addresses the matter he'd spoken of, the bard will forget it. The last thing he needs is for that confession to get back to his brother.]

yay!

[lettenhove]

[ popping up like a sudden spring flower is certainly a good analogy and though he's definitely not as hardy as a dandelion ( more like a buttercup, than anything else ), he's definitely there to hopefully brighten the mood.

tilting his head as his brows raise, he gives a slight bow. the circling around him makes him press his hands to his hips as he scrutinizes the unknown witcher. eskel will undoubtedly note that there's no scent of fear coming off him, because jaskier is used to dangerous situations and, well, being around a crotchety witcher. so far, not even the scar deters him from popping a hip. ]

So you have heard of me. Only good things, I hope, and not rubbish like what you might hear from that cad, Valdo Marx. Or... something completely and utterly rude from Geralt. Yes, I am Jaskier. And don't think I haven't forgotten what you were just saying.

[wolfdogwitcher]

What happens in Kaer Morhen stays in Kaer Morhen, including whatever my brother's said about you. [But judging by Eskel's amused expression, it's been nothing too terrible. He shifts to cross his arms and lean but it turns out the only thing to lean on is the fucking enchanted tree so he straightens up again.]

Pleased to meet you at long last, songbird. And you're just as nosey as I've heard.

[conjuredrabbit]

I'm afraid this tree might help 'fairies' take people's worries away by kidnapping them to serve in fae realms, slowly becoming less and less human over time.

[callmestrange]

Maybe you should back away from there so you don't accidentally touch it.

[conjuredrabbit]

[That suggestion startles a humorless little laugh out of Bunny, as he shakes his head.]

Oh, they already gotted me a while back. I know what I'm talking about with some of these things already, see? But yeah, no, you're right. Were I bolder, I'd try to take the sign down, but hard to without touching it.

[There's something twitchy about this fellow, restless, and the way he talks is rapid-pace, short phrases that almost seem to burst out of him.]

[callmestrange]

They got you? No? ...They kidnapped you?

[To Odd's mind that would account for the twitchiness. He's feeling on edge himself now. And there's something about the energy from that tree, too. It has him unnerved.]

Do you need help?

[conjuredrabbit]

I dunno that there is any help, 'cept for the help there is.

[Which is circuitous, but the bottom line is that he has gotten help; changelings tend to run in groups, motleys and Freeholds for their protection. He's not an isolated incident, and has support from his own kind.]

Really right nice of you to offer, though. You'd want to help a stranger something like that?

[runs]

That's like telling people that it's a big red button you shouldn't press.

[her tail flicks as she tilts her heads at the tree, and then peers around it and up]

[conjuredrabbit]

[Cats (and cat-fish) aren't quite as bad as dogs, wolves and hounds, but Bunny's still on-edge around even a young predatory Beast.]

It really kinda is, right? Do...do you think we oughta be doing something about it?

[runs]

...watch and see if someone is dumb enough to use it?

[she scratches her head]

I guess we could tell someone.

[little_dreamer]

1. I'm worried I'll never figure out what I want to be when I grow up. All my friends seem to know already, but I just... don't think I can do anything big and important.

2. The dream world feels more real to me than the real world. Is that alright?

3. Even in my dreams, I can't remember my dad anymore. Is it because he died when I was so young? Am I going to forget him? I don't want to! He was a great dad and I still love him so, so much.

Piper Cardenas | OC | OTA

[divaoftime]

I'm worried that I'm going to look ahead at my future one day and find out I'll never amount to anything. And I won't know how to change it.

Shit. Now I'm worried someone heard me say that out loud. Stupid tree!

Justin Martingale | OC

[unluckyagent]

1. I worry that I'll never be able to live a normal life.

2. Every time I plan a date with the girl I like, something has to get in the way.
