Captain Vargas: (angry) Get me a horse!

Omar: Are you not a litte bit too old to sneak around?

Juma: I am not 'sneaking' around. I just want to buy some apples.

Omar: Right. You have servants for that.

Nadeera: (soft) You look good Juma. The palace life is good for you.

Juma: Thank you Nadeera. You look great yourself. I see Vargas still has a hold on you.

Omar: That is none of your business. Go back to the palace and stay out of it.

Nadeera: You do not want to get in trouble, Juma.

Juma: Captain Vargas is not leaving, is he? He is planning something.

Omar: Like I said… Go back to the palace.

Juma: Like I said, I just want to buy some apples.

Omar: (annoyed) Juma…

Nadeera: Stop it. Both of you. Juma, please stay out of this. I do not want you to get hurt.

Juma: Come with me to the palace. I can protect you.

Nadeera: I can not go with you. You know why.

Omar: Besides, she has me. I would not let anything happen to her.

Juma: Fine. But I still want to know what Vargas is planning… He is up to something. I am sure of it.

Hey, you're cool, date my brother.

Najma pocketed her phone as she walked through the bazaar. The market was crowded with people from all over Twisted attending the Firelit Sky and grabbing what they could before tonight's big show. She spotted someone at the gyro stall, a gray cat creature was jumping up and down excitingly. It talked animatedly about something Najma couldn't hear. She spotted what she assumed was the creature's handler, as the person grabbed the creature by the bow around it's next. She got closer to the stall and overheard their conversation.

"Grim, calm down. Urging them to hurry up isn't gonna get the food out faster."

"But I'm hungry!"

"You're always hungry!" The person sighed. "Jamil and the others don't mind if the food takes a bit, so calm down, okay?"

Ah, that was a name she recognized. So, did this person know Jamil? Only one way to find out. Najma slid up behind the person and right as she was about to say something, the person turned around quickly. Jeez, they was about as perceptive as Jamil.

"Gonna have to ask you to not do that." Oh, they were a girl with green eyes and short black hair. "Don't want to start a fight in the market."

"Oh, I shouldn't have snuck up on you like that." Najma apologized. "I heard my brother's name and-"

"Brother? Jamil?"

"Yeah, do you know him?"

The girl looked her up and down. "Damn, you look exactly like him, but yeah, I know him."

"Here you go, miss." The stall owner grabbed their attention as he held out a basket of food. "Thank you for waiting!"

She took it. "Thanks!" She handed one to the creature. "Here, Grim."

"Finally!" Grim tore into it.

Najma looked at the gyros and swiftly grabbed the one she knew was Jamil's. She bit into it as the girl turned to face her with a eyebrow raise, yet she gave a smile and said nothing.

She started walking. "Didn't know Jamil had a sister. Younger or older?"

"Younger." Najma swallowed and pointed at her. "You wouldn't happen to be the prefect he talks a lot about, would you?"

"He talks about me? I hope it's good."

"Well, he calls you a troublemaker. What's your name, by the way?"

"I'm Yuu, and you are?"

"Najma."

The three of them were nearing a group, Najma could see Jamil standing near the fountain.

"Here you guys go." Yuu handed out the food and turned to Jamil. "Sorry, yours got eaten."

"Eaten?" A green haired guy with glasses asked. "Did Grim inhale it?"

"Damn, Grimmy, you didn't have to eat Jamil's." A guy with ginger hair and a diamond on his cheek spoke.

"It wasn't me!" Grim defended himself. "She ate it!" He pointed a paw at Najma.

All eyes shifted to her, which she waved at and took another bite of the gyro. Jamil's eyes widened upon seeing her, Yuu took a bite of her food and patted him on the back.

"You never said you had a younger sister, Jam-jam." Yuu teased him.

Jam-jam? This was gold, another new name to tease her brother with.

"You never asked." Jamil tried to recover before sighing. "Why are you here, Najma?"

"Wow, rude." Najma crossed her arms. "Do you see how he treats me?" She looked at Yuu. "And I've been nothing but nice to him."

"Such a mean older brother." Yuu laughed. "Treat your sister better. She's fragile, you know."

Jamil glared at the two of them, a faint blush dawning his cheeks before it disappeared from sight. He 100% had a crush on Yuu, there was no denying it now that Najma had seen it with her own eyes. She gave him the message their father told her to send. After a few more moments of talking with the group and them introducing themselves, Najma left to go hang out with her friends. She returned before the fireworks began and sat next to Yuu.

"My brother's single." She said, gaining Yuu's attention.

She fixed her with a confused look before smiling. "Is he now?"

"Mm-hmm and he's good at everything he does. Cooking, singing, dancing, just to name a few. You just gotta deal with the bugs he's afraid of."

Yuu started laughing and Najma smiled. "He could be mine for the low price of bug murder or atleast relocation?"

"...You're cool, date my brother."

"NAJMA!" whoops, Jamil had overheard and it sent Yuu into a louder roar of laughter.

"I'm trying to get the prefect for you, Jamil!"

thinking about link post-calamity finding comfort in hanging out in gerudo town in his disguise because nobody knows who he is there. instead of being Link, the Hero of Hyrule, he’s just Link, the quirky little hylian vai who runs around buying all the fruit and arrows and keeps trying to convince furosa to finally let her order a noble pursuit from the canteen. but he also surprisingly finds comfort in wearing his lil outfit for other reasons…

Lupin special where the Seven Pillars of Wisdom are 'reinterpreted' as a legend of seven actual jewels that Lawrence hid out in the desert or w/e

mfw I remember the awful Lawrence-related Part 2 episode:

[dreamsofalife]

((I have a stupid self indulgent crossover AU for Disney's Aladdin bc it's my comfort media. Shy's pearlsona is there bc she got trampled during the Gem's evacuation of earth and temporarily poofed. A big-ass peach pearl in the middle of the desert didn't go unnoticed, and after awhile she ended up in the court of Agrabah, and scared the ever-loving shit out of everyone involved when she sprung fully formed from a gemstone like goddamn Aphrodite.

People thought she was a genie. She thought some of them were gems. It was confusing but she made friends and developed a good relationship with most people, and she's got a zest for life that's contagious. She's the definition of "she's a little confused but she got the spirit."))

Juma: My Sultana

Taryn: And? Any news?

Juma: Yes. I followed Captain Vargas to his ship. I saw him leaving on a horse, into the dessert.

Taryn: That is… odd.

Juma: Two of his followers caught me while I was watching him. Taryn: (worried) Did they hurt you?

Juma: No, my queen. I'm fine. But when we talked I lost sight of Captain Vargas. I did not know where he went, so instead I bought some groceries and talk to some merchants. I did not get lucky because the two followers where keeping an eye on me. They knew I was asking around about their captain.

Katarq: It seems you did not get what you wanted.

Vargas: Of course not. That is why I am going to send you in there. Do what we discussed. Kill everyone who stands in your way. Got it?

Katarq: Yes.

Vargas: Good. Now go.

Taryn: So you still do not know what he is up to.

Juma: There is more. Finally, when I lost the two, some other merchant heard me asking questions about Captain Vargas and told me disturbing things.

Taryn: Like what?

Juma: He said that Captain Vargas killed thousands of people on the borders of Jabasan.

Taryn: We know. Amir said we could not do anything because he did not crossed the borders.

Juma: Yes. Wel Captain Vargas did not killed those people by himself, He was not actually there.

Taryn: He sended some men. I already know about this.

Juma: (serious) He did not just send some men, Taryn. He sended one man. Just one.

Taryn: One man slaughtered thousands of people?

Juma: Yes. They call him Al Jazaar.

Taryn: (shocked) The Butcher.

Juma: That is correct. He got that name after he fought an entire army by himself. Cut of their heads, arms, legs. Blood was everywhere… There was-

Taryn: I get it.

Juma The merchant did not want to tell me more, but his brother said that Al Jazaar was signalated here. In Jabasan. Most highly to kill people. You and the Sultan. Your children.

Taryn: I am not afraid Juma. The palace is highly secured. There are guards everywhere.

Juma: One advise, my queen. Do not underastimate this man. He is fast, dark and very quiet. You won't see him coming until he gets you. Kills you in a blink of an eye. He could be already here, in the palace.

Taryn: Thank you for the concern Juma. I will let the guards know to be extra careful. You are a good friend.

Juma: Thank you, my Sultana.

((It's around the time of year where I once again get interested in Disney's Aladdin bc it's my comfort movie and I wish there was an active rp fandom for it because mama has a verse for it. It's also a crossover with my SU verse because I'm allowed to be cringe if I want to.

Peach Pearl gets trampled during a gem evacuation in the desert, ends up as a gift to a princess, is often mistaken for a genie, chaos ensues.))
