[Para: Tina/Elliott/Santana] Of Tales and Reunions
Who: Santana, Tina @cohentoplaywithmagic , Elliott @ellnaturae , and two mysterious individuals.  Location: Yanaka Cemetary, Tokio, Japan Time: 10th May, 2018 Summary: When the free time starts, Tina, Elliott and Santana has an encounter with someone who has been insisting her to met outside campus and also has contacted with the group.  Triggers/Notes: Death talk and lying liars who lies
Santana got out of the cementery with Elliott and Tina nearby. She looked at her phone and the last weird text she recieved, now that she has ‘free time’. They said the place where she was, and the clothes she was wearing, and there were all from the mysterious stalker that somehow keeps getting more and more information about her. She looked around to find whose stranger was the person behind it. “Hey guys, wait a moment, I have to reunite with some weird person who is stalking me and probably beat them out” She warned the others without giving them any context whatsoever.
Elliott was walking next to Tina hoping they could go next to a most cheerful place. He had been lost in thought for a while, even if the place was beautiful cementeries always reminded him how fragile human life is, and that made him think if someday he would just lost everyone he cared about. Suddenly the words "reunite with some weird person stalking me" got him back to reality "Wait what?" he asked out loud turning to look at Santana and then looking at Tina trying to find confirmation that he heard right.
Tina seeing all the cherry blossoms, no one could blame her from thinking about the Ouran Highschool Host Club and slightly imaging who everyone would be in that anime. The ceremony was beautiful but her weeb brain was caught up in spinning her own AU version of it. A soft smile on her face as she was humming...okay slightly singing the theme,"Kiss...kiss fall in love," as she mindlessly walked along with Elliott but her thoughts halted when Santana spoke. "What in the....Santana you are what?" She looks at Elliott nodding because, he had heard right.
Someone in the crowd got closer to the group from behind, they walked fast without doubt, with the determination of someone who expects to be instantly loved every time someone sees them. “Hay everyone!” A cheerful young voice called to the trio, while waving their hand effusively to greet them. “Thanks for waiting for me even when I’m late!” said the short, white, black haired teen with the backpack. They looked like every annoying younger sibling that ever appeared on a sitcom combined into one. They pointed at Tina “Hay Silent Cry for Help and Professional Hugger! Nice to meet you for realsies!” They exclaimed excited, and looked at Santana with a triumphal smile. “I told you I always get what I want, Senorita!”
Santana looked at the voice calling to them, and if she could, she would look at the camera like she was on the office. “You must be kidding me.” She said irked, looking down. “Is this you, really? What are you, six?” How the fuck a kid got her number. “Who the fuck are you?”
Elliott frowned so confused he thought his eyebrows will fall off his face. Was that the same person sending him weird messages about a farm full of Shedim in Texas? "What the fuck" he let out.
Tina feels a chill as this stalker, was literally a stalker. When she hard the name 'Silent Cry for Help' ...like they had actually found them in Japan and they weren't a NYADA student. "Who even are you?" She looks at the little kid, in agreement with Santana, like what the aether was a child doing stalking a Shedim, Trickster Spirit and a Witch?
Someone smiles brightly, they love strong reactions, but quickly frowed. “I’m not six! In three years I’ll be basically an adult!” they complained, but quickly smiled again. “Who do /y’all/ think I am? I left y'all enough clues, didn’t I?” They said with a big grin.“Guess my name”
Santana rolled her eyes. She didn’t trust this kid. She really didn’t trust this kid, and she knew what kind of distrust this was. “Rumpelstiltskin”
Elliott looks at Santana and the kid, did she have any idea who he was? He found himself trying to remember the anonymous messages but he gave up easily, why did he have to follow this kid's absurd game? "An asshole" he said as if that was his guess.
Tina could not believe that the kid was for real. Santana said it so casually  about the kid appearing up. She laughs at Santana's answer and in parcel agreement with Senpai's answer. "A three year old who shouldn't even be on Tumblr."
Someone suddenly doesn’t feel that much welcome. “Wrong, wrong, wrong!” they said with teary eyes. “You guys are so mean!” they complained chocking back tears. Luckyly for them, the cavalry was coming. A suspicious man with a suit and sunglasses put his hand on their shoulders, and looked at the team through his sunglasses. “She isn’t here, llorica. You lost”  He said non-challand. “Is the kid bothering you?” he ask the group of adults making a teenager cry. 
Santana froze when the man appeared. This wasn’t happening. He couldn’t be here. Not with Tina and Elliott. This has to be an illusion. “’Dad’? The fuck are you doing here?”
Elliott didn't trust the kid, it made him feel bad that he was sad because he looked young and small, but there was something off. When the older man approached them he felt something else change, he had felt something similar in the past, distrust, but this was so much strong, that man, for Elliott, seemed dangerous. He wasn' sure what to do but he wanted to be alert in case something happened, so he moved closer to Santana though not very far from Tina, he wanted to be ready enough to protect them if something went wrong. "Wait... what did you just say?" he looked at Santana extremelly surprised.
Tina could feel the black blutterflies in her stomach fluttering harder at the appearance of the other man. Her palms feel a little sweaty from two strangers that seemed to know them more they knew about them. Everything felt uneasy and uncomfortable. Their is a tight grip on her phone, not in hopes to use a spell but a chance to call anyone who was needed since magic was limited here. Her eyes shot at Santana when the word 'dad' left Santana's lips. Aether this was not gonna be good at all.
Someone stopped crying but seemed annoyed. “Is her!” they said pointing at Santana. “I won and you have to keep your part of the deal!” they pouted to the old man. The man looked at Santana, not recognizing her. "I haven’t seen you in my life” he said. 
 Santana sometimes forgot she looked totally different now. She felt how unconfortable was always to be with more than one trickster, and she only had to deal with 2, and was used to way more, not like Tina and Elliott. But it still was her dad, in the flesh, if this really wasn’t an illusion. And he didn’t recognize her. She has to show him who she is “I can’t believe you dared to come again, you Old Bastard, you didn’t just betray me back them, or the rest of your so called ‘family’, you betrayed the mere concept of trust. We forgave too many things, but this one won’t be forgiven. Right now, I would stab you for 2 dollars” She exclaimed, pointing at him, very threatically, while her ‘Dad’ started laughing. “Niebla!” He said recognizing the speech “It sounds so weird in english. What the hell happened to you?” She smiled slightly relieved, but she has to take a little control of the situation. “Oh yeah, I got an haircut. But alright. Ehm. Guys, this is... what’s your name right now, ‘Dad’?”   “Pedro”  “This is my ‘dad’” She said doing the quotation marks ”Pedro and... ‘Dad’, those are my... classmates Techy and Nine.” She looke at Elliott and Tina. “I recommend you not saying your names or revealing any kind of personal information” She whispered with a smile. "And I don't know who that is" she said pointing at the kid. 
Elliott couldn't stop looking at Santana's "dad" , he felt such a strong feeling of distrust coming from him that he wasn't even sure if he could let his guard down from now on, he assimilated what Santana was just whispering to them and nodded "Yes, I'm Nine... nice to meet you" he said, though it kinda sounded like a question.
Tina the unease in the air was starting to thicken. She looks at the exchange between Santana and her 'father' trying to see the emotions that lingered between them yet something felt off about it. "Yep , I'm Techy," she said with slight warmth in her voice glad to be called Techy witch again.
The man in the sunglasses laugh at that ‘nice to meet you’. He pointed at the kid. “This is my new kid. I found him in the trash and adopted him. He is so fucking annoying” He said with a smile full of pride. “Kiddo, entertaint those two while me and your ‘sister’ have a talk” he said and pointed to be just 3 meters separated from the rest.
Santana looked the kid with hate “No” She just said, visibly bothered by the whole thing and with too many things to say that she didn’t even knew were to start.  “One moment” She excused herself to Elliott and Tina. “I’ll take care of this. Sorry” She said and followed the man. Inmediatly they started to argue in spanish. Like they were whispering really loud it was basically just normal talking. Anyone who knew the language would just hear the whole thing.
Someone smiled and winked. “Surprise, onee-chan! Told you you were going to be amaze~” they were really happy again, and couldn’t stand still. “Professional Hugger is called Elliott and is a satanist, and Silent Cry for Help is Tina Cohen-Chang and she’s into New-age electronic music” they informed. “And we are gonna be super friends!” They were more than happy to be a distraction.  “So so, Hugger, I suspect my last messages didn’t arrive, but the other satanists in the farm are fine! And Silent Cry, I can give you my url if you really want to!” They got a notebook and a pen from their backpack. “Do y’all want me to draw for you? I’m going to draw for you.”  They said pretty determinated and with bright wishful eyes.
Elliott was very conflicted part of him wanted to be with Santana and somehow help her out, but it seemed like actually a family thing that Santana and her "dad" had to deal with, and either way the kid seemed suspicious as well, so he didn't want to let them out of his side. It was kind of cute, almost like they were for real a innocent child, and he was starting to feel bad for talking to them aggresively "Er... sure" he said knowing pretty well those Shedim were more than dead, but at the same time, how do you break those news to a kid? "Ugh, right right, let's draw something" he also took out a pen and a notebook from his own bag and tried to do a funny drawing for the kid. Maybe sort of playing with them would keep them away from doing mischiveous things.
Tina could not help but worry about Santana as she spoke to her "dad" privately as they started to talk in Spanish, frowning a little that she never took high school Spanish. The little kid was trying to out Tina and Elliott but messed up quiet a lot. "Sure...I'm an electronic music specialist," which she could easily do with her magic. She watches as Elliott and the kid started drawing, which wasn't something for her, she just watches them. "Sure, it would be nice to have your URL." she smiles, a chance to know,"But if you don't mind me ask, because you seem a little young, but are you over 13, since you have to be 13 to use Tumblr, don't you?"
Someone was glad everything was coming along just fine. They knew it. Everyone just ended up loving them in the end. “What do you want? Your fursona,ponysona, centaursona, zootopiasona, prettyderbysona or villagersona?” They asked very fast and very thrilled to show their art skills. “I’ll write it in your drawing, Silent Cry, just tell me what you want! You know I wanna be just like you. Just like you before you decided to ruin yourself, of course, but who am I to judge?” They frowed at Tina’s question. “I’m an adult in horse years” They said very convinced as if that was an answer. “I am just very short for my height! And now that we are talking about it, I wasn’t found in the trash we met /next/ to a trash can in the streets it’s totally different!”
Santana and her ‘dad’ keep arguing for a while, she started to talk more, as she was explaining something. The man put his hand in his mouth trying not to laugh. Santana looks unamused. 
Elliott looked at the kid confused, he didn't know what half of those things they say meant but he randomly picked one "Zootopiasona?" he said a little scared of what he picked "Is that like... zoo... like an animal version of me?" he frowned confused. He wasn't sure if the kid wasn't for real or if his life was as fucked up as to be living near a trash can, but he was starting to wonder if that how things worked with Santana's dad. Sort of taking advantage of weak kids  in need that he found and training them to do what he wanted. Gross. "What do you want me to draw for you?" he asked.
Tina was trying to keep up with all the sona style drawings that the kid wanted to do. So he was that side of Tumblr.  "A sona is like persona, if you were in the world Senpai. Like Zootopia, the disney movie!" She explains to Elliott before her attention draws back to the backpack kid. "Hey what the spell do you mean 'before I decided to ruin myself' mean?" Feeling all the offence to that statement, though it was meant to be flattering this person knew how to make it sound unflattering by all means. "Yeah...that didn't answer my question."
Someone answered Elliott “Neight, is not that simple” with determination while starting to draw, and Tina explained it in their place while they nodded. “Draw me Seiun Sky” they said all happy, expecting everyone to know what they meant. “You know what I mean! Giving up what you love the most... to be something you aren’t supposed to be. We are very alike! Just that I’m still working on improving, and you instead decided to completelly ruin yourself when you were perfect as you were. But if you are happy with that...” They said with a shrug, still smiling. “I’m grow up enough!”
Santana keeps looking annoyed, and the man starts laughing without shame. After a while she starts laughing a little too.
Elliott looked at the kids confused as hell, he also couldn't understand what they knew or didn't about Tina or what they were trying to imply, but the more he thought about it the more he saw the kid as just that an annoying kid to set them apart from Santana "I don't know what or who that is" he replied looking over them to where Santana and her dad were talking or laughing or discussing, he wasn't sure what was happening at all "What do you mean she ruined herself?" he got offended too since they were insulting one of his dearest friends "Tina is amazing"
Tina can feel her confidence starting to slip. Her mouth feeling a little dryer as someone was calling her out about being who she is not suppose to be. Did they meant her being a New Age? Or something about her parents? What did this person even mean? She wants to ask but she is too afraid to know a truth, Santana and Kurt gave her too much of that (for the better or worst). When she hears Elliott, his words reminder that she is awesome. "Guess you know me from what you seem online," she lightly shrugs it off,"I am happier." She looks over at Santana and her 'father' wondering if this laughing was something she was happy about.
Someone wasn’t dissapointed Seiun Sky wasn’t know, because it means they could introduce her to people, so they just took their phone and opened a folder with thousand screenshots from anime, and showed Elliott a white haired anime girl with animal ears and tail. “This is Seiun Sky, from Uma Musume Pretty Derby. It’s a sport anime that is ALSO an idol anime, with horse girls” They keep showing Elliott screenshots of the show while talking really intenselly about it “You should totally check it out if you have any taste for good things. Look they live with normal people and they have special clothes they can wear with their tails and all, it's really nice...” They could had talked hours about that show, but stopped to laugh at Elliott response about the comment on Tina. “Hihihi, is that natural loyalty or she ordered you to defend her? I can’t say what I mean here, you should know that” They explained like a know-it-all. They listened to Tina’s answer and smiled. “If you are happy that’s what matters, isn’t it?” they just said and keep drawing.
Santana and her ‘dad’ stopped laughing, and apparently he was explaining her something, while she listened, crossing her arms, pretty serious while nodding, and sometimes doing a small comment. After a long time, progressively even that started to sound like a heated discussion. “You know what?” Her ‘dad’ said. “Let’s put an end to this argument. Now. Kiddo!” He called and both walked to the group. “Be preparing to get going. And you, Nine, or whatever your name is” he said pointing at Elliott, and asking, very seriously “Can satanists shoots rays trought their eyes or not?”. Santana muttered annoyed “No they fucking don’t y ni siquiera estabamos hablando de eso! ”
Elliott was horrified at the level of fetishization those poor horse girls were going through, and he was also so confused as to why that show was in any way good quality content "Erm..." he looked down at his notebook and decided he wasn't going to draw that at all, he was also getting angrier at the moment when the kid said he could be controlled by Tina "you know what" he closed the notebook "i dont even know why should i pretend or care for anything you got to say..." he was going to say more when Santana and her dad approached "No, we can't" he replied almost at the same time as Santana.
Tina "doesn't give a flying flip about the crappy anime that this kid was trying to talk about. As her fists balled to the side to what he was insinuating that Tina was doing to Elliott,"How dare you even think that. I would never do that. Not to anyone," she spoke through gritted teeth.  She was just was done as Santana and Elliott were. She wanted to go away from that child.
Someone complained “Eeeeeh, but we are friends! Why are y’all suddenly so mean? I feel sad now!” but they were told to prepare to go, so they ripped the page of their drawing and gave it to Elliott anyway. “I know Zootopia doesn’t have horses but I don’t know how to draw other animals” They informed offering the drawing with a pride that only a teen with a Sonic OC on devianart could have. It was really bad, but it was a cartoon horse with Elliott’s clothes. It had written ‘With love from Oliver’ 
Santana could note everyone was very unconfortable and hated every second of it. It wasn’t enough to encounter her ‘dad’ with all that it means, it had to be with Elliott and Tina. A wave of shame suddenly hit her and she crossed her arms again. Now to see what bullshit will he come up with now. “Told you” she said, but he smiled like it was just the answer he wanted to hear. Of course. She rolled her eyes and he started to talk “That’s perfect, because now that you all know that’s bullshit I can finally tell you the tale of that time I met the Unkneeling”
Elliott took the drawing anyway even though he was so confused, if he had to choose an animal to draw himself as, he would choose a sheep with really cool horns. He saved the drawing on his own notebook noticing the name, but he wasn't done processing that when he heard Santana dad's words "What did you say?" he asked surprised.
Tina , herself was feeling wound up the the child but they matter litter and their love for Zootopia. Aether they drew Ell as a horse. No not important. She places a hand on his shoulder, making sure that he was alright as Santana's father was talking about him or too him.
The man with the sunglasses started monologing a story that sounded like had been told more than once. ”It was just the Unkneeling, the one who brought her to the world also know as the Author, me, and more than a dozen of  mercenaries about to corner us and kill us. The two of them started to argue about what to do, and the Unkneeling ended it up with a ‘I’m going to do whatever I please anyway’ while the other asked her to not do it, something aobut not wanting whatever shit to happend again.” He said like it wasn’t important. “Anyway, the Unkneeling get rid of her make up if you know what I mean, daringly stept up against the mercenaries. They weren’t impressed, and the leader ordered her to get on her knees with the confidence of a man who had done that a thousand times and was always obeyed. She keep standing tall. And she asked him to repeat the order, that she must not hear it clearly. So he did...” He keep saying, still unfinished, but doing a dramatic pause to breathe.
Santana knew a lot of her ‘dad’ stories, and almost all of them started with people trying to murder him. She wondered if this one has some truth in it, but if it was a fucking joke she was ready to punch him in the face.
Elliott was very confused, was that man really trying to say that he knew a Shedim who wouldn't kneel? That sounded to good to be true, especially coming from someone who would lie. "So she didn't kneel?" he asked surprised anyway, even if he thought it could be a lie, he may also be hopeful.
Tina didn't know whether or not to trust the things Santana's 'dad' was saying, not because he was a trickster (okay maybe a little bit) but from the way Santana always seemed to talk about his family.  She listens but her eyes watch Elliott, slightly worried if this was lie filled with false hope.
The man with the sunglasses checked for a second his public reaction’s, and answered to the most interested one. “She didn’t, she mocked him for failing and invited the others to try instead. She was pretty encouraging, saying ‘C’mon, put some more efford into it! Said it louder’. She even made the gesture of starting to, and then got back up again while cackling. Their faces were priceless” He narrated laughing at the tale. “After that she said ‘I’m going to count to 10 so you better start running’ and at 7 there were no mercenaries left. It was increible” He keeps laughing for a while. “She also shoot lasers through her eyes. Anyway, the mercenaries were gone, the Author was freaking out and I said ‘It looks like you need of my services so this keeps being a secret and you two get out of this situation’ and the Author said ‘You put us in this situation’” He said, using a high pitched mocking voice for the Author’s voice. “You know how women always complain about that... I took care of it. The Author said ‘you can’t tell people about this” And I said ‘ehhhhh I’m going to’, because, it is too good of a story to not tell, it was amazing. She said ‘What is the point of covering it if you are going to tell it anyway? Please just don’t say it, please’ so I started to explain what was the point and the many nuances of the circunstances. The Unkneeling interrupted me to say ‘If you are going to be a dick anyway, can you at least add some absurd detail like... I don’t know, that I shoot lasers through my eyes or something like that so it all sounds even more improbable and people won’t believe you?’ And I said ‘Now that I can do’”
Santana was bitchy smiling outside but screaming inside and the little kid was just looking at her ‘dad’ very confused about the whole thing.
Elliott was starting to believe maybe the story was right, but at the same time the more he heard it looked more like a lie "Well... that's something..." he wasn't sure if he should have more hope or not but he didn't lose anything trying to ask "Is there any way of finding her? I have a lot of questions about... satanists" he asks.
Tina tries to keep up with Santana's "father's" story but she felt confused as anything, though she kept a stern face on looking between Elliott and Santana for their reactions. Though the fact that he spoke about the Unkneeling, was something like that even possible? There had to be, anything was possible.
The man with the sunglasses contained a laugh "Someone is really desperate...but sure, I do have the email of the Author, she surely knows." He said gesturing to the kid so they give him the notebook to write it. "But she lives in a zone... just like this one." He said pointing around"And she will probably say she doesn't know what you are talking about if you ask her directly...and, why would I give this to you for free?" He asked when he finished writing it and folded the paper showing it in his hand.
Santana get close to Elliott. "We don't want it, right?" She said and tried to gesticulate to her friend how this was not really a good idea. "You can like, go away now." She said to her fake dad, feeling bad about it but also feeling bad about the current situation.
Elliott looks at Santana then at her dad, he knows he should agree with Santana, he probably didn't have good intentions, but It was something he couldnt just let go of it "Because your hija's friend are your friends?" he tries really hard knowing he is probably saying that word in the worst pronunciation possible.
Tina adds in her two sense,"Tana's is normally right about these kinda things. You shouldn't want it." For once she was actually taking Santana's side and affirming it out loud.
The man with the sunglasses laughs even more with that answer and hands him the paper. "I'm convinced. That's her work email for her books. She knows english" He just said, and looked directly at Tina “Why shouldn’t he want it?” Asked, and waited for an answer before warning the the kid. "We have other things to o now, so we’re leaving now. Bye, Niebla. Good luck all that and try not to die" He says giving her half a hug half a pat in the back and ready to go, while the kid waved at them goodbye.
Santana didn’t return the hug but also feel it was too short. “Same to you!” she said and felt the mood improving considerably with two tricksters less on the mix, but still too many mix of feelings to be any calm, she looked at Elliott and Tina after a while and fake laugh. “Well. That was something. Let’s just forget about all this and not talk about it and Elliott I highly recommend you to throw that paper to the trash”
Elliott looked down at the paper, Santana may be right, it could be something weird, someone trying to trick him, the email could lead to trouble, but it also could lead to answers. "Yeah, maybe I should, when we find one" he says putting the paper on his pocket pretty sure he is not going to throw it away.
Tina doesn't say a work to him, she didn't have just too.  She just stays silent watching as her father and the kid said their goodbyes and were ready to leave. "We'll try," she says to Santana but it was not easy to forget something like this. "Senpai, if you do email, let me know please." She tells him, already writing magic codes she could embed in the message if something fishy were to happen.
Santana fucking knows he is not going to throw the fucking paper but she'll try to convince him later. She wanted to go away anyway, maybe she could find another witch that didn't talk much around. "I forgot something at the hotel, I see you guys later, alright?"
