We should take things into moderation, you know.

( and not rush into adventures of an unknown variety, even if wanda knows that this much will cheer hilda up and bring some ounce of excitement into their current gilded-cage situation of finding familiarity in friendly faces through the horizon.

wanda sits back down on the couch, beside hilda, with the jar in her hands and presenting it. the colors of the different aspects of the terrarium are saturated and a little wild—pinks and yellows and electric blues. the glittering swathe of her magic dances around, too, as the scene swirls and changes. )

Just a few ground rules before we go. You have to tell me when it's too much, or if you want to come back. I also get to choose when we should come back, if anything... were to go a little sideways.

( not that she thinks things will, but one can never be too careful, with magical worlds forged of whimsical magic. )

[theidlemaiden]

[ Hilda trills her lips slightly as she waves a hand away at the (very necessary) caution. ]

Moderation schomderation. What could go wrong? I'm with you!

[ Hilda's faith in Wanda's abilities has never wavered even faced with the hypothetical dangers that they're about to embark on it. Some of Wanda's warnings do seem to have an effect on her however and some seriousness does settle in. ]

I promise I'll tell you if I feel uncomfortable. Although [ She peers at the jar. ] I'm having a hard time seeing how something this cute is going to go sideways.

[carmesi]

( 'cute', hilda calls it, and wanda can't help but be amused. things could go sideways in any situation, truth be told, but there is also the chance that this being a new project of hers doesn't quite execute so perfectly.

she hands the jar over to hilda, stretching her arm out for the other woman to take. )

Open it, then. When you're ready.

( and they'll see what happens. )

[theidlemaiden]

[ It is cute especially with the way the colours blend together. There were a number of terrariums that lined the walls, but her eyes were drawn to this one the most for no particular reason other than feeling drawn to it.

Without another prompt Hilda takes a hold of the offered jar. Grasping the lid she gives Wanda a bright grin free of nerves and only filled with excitement for what was to come. ]

Ready!

[ The lid comes off with a satisfying pop. ]

[carmesi]

( if there is one thing about hilda is that despite her own admission of hesitation in certain aspects, she is less prone to shying away from adventure and the unexpected.

the jar is opened and, with it, a whirlwind of red haze draws them in and plunges them into whatever world has been encased within the jar. one moment they are in the made-up apartment in hell's kitchen, and the next?

—a navy blue sky greets them, decorated by the exaggerated golden lights of twinkling stars. both women will find themselves bracing for balance atop one of said stars, shining brightly under their shoes; crystal-made and large enough for them to stand comfortably atop it. they're high up in the night sky, though, making it somewhat chilly.

wanda reaches for hilda's hands, and the star she is under floats closer. )

Got your footing?

[theidlemaiden]

[ As the cozy apartment begins to change and morph around them, Hilda's expression takes on one of awe and wonder. As the inky black expanse above them spills around them her hair begins to float as they fall. The stars and lights that cast light around them are an effective means of staunching any fear she might have. She doesn't feel afraid, not when she knows that Wanda is beside her.

It does take a minute to steady, if only because she's distracted by looking around them to realize that there's one for them to stand on. Wanda's fingers threading into hers draws her from her thoughts. ]

Got it.

[ As she turns to look at Wanda her eyes seem to shine like the crystals dotting the sky. ]

Wanda, this is amazing.

[carmesi]

Like a dream, isn't it?

( how many little girls do not ever dream of being able to walk in the night sky, amidst the stars? wanda would have dreams aplenty in the grim landscape of sokovia and envision something delightful like this.

the stars below them grow bigger and link up, so they can step closer to one another without concern for tipping over. standing now at the center between the two, wanda smiles, looking about, as the clockwork of stars slowly descends. )

There shouldn't be anything dangerous here. Besides, it's the Horizon.

[theidlemaiden]

I think I've had a dream like this before.

[ It comes on the song of a laugh as the air around them begins to shift again as they're brought down, down, down at a comfortable pace. The stars swirl around them, some of them small enough to catch and settle in their hair, giving them a crown of sorts. ]

Did you come up with this yourself? Or was this already inside that jar?

[ And if this is what this looked like, what did the others have? ]
