Expedition Au

I can see MN!Alice visiting FG!Norton when she's awake between hibernation periods as well as her other friends and them vice versa.

Oh my heart oh my heeaarrttttttttt 😭😭😭 yeeeeeesssssess!!! 💕💕😭😭💕💕 Absolutely Absolutely!

Alice:

Her waking up and listening out if anyone else is awake. Then getting up, stretching out, and making her way over to Melly, picking some of the flowers out of the way so she can see her sleeping face. Satisfied that Melly is well she makes her way to where Frederick hasn’t moved since his final transformation day. She picks off and wipes off a lot of the extra overgrowth, concern still present for him but he is definitely still alive so she gently pats the side of his head and fixes his hair a little before getting up and making her way to

Norton who is a little further away by the mountain side. Once she reaches him she carefully fixes his hair and kisses his forehead before curling up under his arm by his side and laying there a while with him and telling him about her dreams, hoping he can hear her. “I don’t like being the only one awake…it’s so lonely…but I don’t want to take you from your dreams….” “The dreams, of what could have been….are the best part.”

(which makes me think they are 'sane', aka they are hella unhinged compared to how they used to be)

but she would certainly take time to polish his rocks and get all the dust and rubble all of him that fell from landslides and such from the mountain, getting him all cleaned up again.

gotta dust him off real good lol

Melly:

When she wakes up alone she would likely do a check up on all the insects and creatures, then check along the nearest part of the barrier, before looking over Alice to make sure she is still in her dream state and comfortable, then looking at her trees to see how they are doing and trimming any that are trying to attach to her.

She then goes over to Norton. Sometimes she wakes him up just to piss him off, but usually she just makes sure he is still alive and hasn’t melded with the mountain at all and cleans off any fallen rubble off of him.

Before heading over to Frederick, cleaning off the extra overgrowth then placing some fermented juice she’s been making next to him. “You could likely drink an entire winery’s worth of wine by this point…its a shame this is all I have for you…..”

As she sits there she notices an unchanged horse walking up next to her. She picks it up like a kitten under its belly and lifts it up to examine it "I....haven't seen one of these since..." her eyes widening as she stands and looks behind her "are there people here?"

Norton:

He would look for any new signs of Orpheus messing around again before going over to Fredrick to clean off the new overgrowth. He would likely sit in silence next to him for a bit before checking on

Melly, and likely paying it forward by waking her up to piss her off sometimes but usually getting the flowers out of her face and then griping at the insects to “give her some damn space once in a while”

Then going to check on Alice and hang out with her (until he starts fading back to sleep again and returns to his spot to do so). But he would trim the trees and their branches that are getting too clingy with Alice and then clean up her feathers making sure they are clean and shiny, humming while he does so. He would also return the favor of telling her about his dreams and hoping she can hear him like he can hear her.

He can't lay in the trees with her without ruining her nest so he just picks her up out of her nest and hold her to snuggle with her for a long while (so the trees that make her nest have a moment to get all re-poofed and comfy again) and then put her back all perfectly comfy like~

Frederick:

He won't wake up long enough to move until after the arrival of Naib, and he would have to pull himself out of the ground cause he would be half buried. The other's let this happen so he would be secure and just kept the overgrowth from fully covering him. So the image of him lifting his head and having to forcefully pull his shoulder, that he has been laying on, up and out of the ground with a great deal of effort.

Then seeing all the fermented juice sitting there in hand made bowls and such like "......what is this...."

His eyes then spotting a 'small' person and widening "???" Naib trying to stay completely still like Frederick is some sort of giant wild animal: "......they assured me that leaving me alone here with you would be fine since you never wake up.......apparently these lands like to f**k me, I guess"

Frederick shakes his head like he is seeing stars, then wincing and putting and hand to his head "the damned ringing...." he tries to get up and stand

Naib: "WOAh no, hold on! I am almost positive that is the last thing you should be doing--!!!"

but Frederick finding trouble staying up right as vertigo hits him like a truck and begins falling over only for Norton to start running to catch him and stand him up right

Norton/FG: "Hey! You're finally awake~"

Melly and Alice come running over with both excitement and relief on their faces

-Naib clears his throat- Norton having Frederick lean on Melly so he can kneel down and see Naib a little better: "turns out you ARE a lucky charm~" -and does his signature FG grin, referencing something he said to Naib when he first woke Norton up on accident- Naib: "....wonderful..." -was here to find their bones and collect their data and findings, not any of this-

I'm falling in matsuhana hell and it's your fault

[mintytealfox]

If you could describe nortons entire personality in a sentence what would that sentence be I'd like to see your take on it

(Essay on nortons personality in your opinion is welcome and optional)

OOOOO A QUIZY QUESTION HECK YEAAAAAAA lemme think leeemmmeee think heerrree hmmm hmmmmm one sentence hmmmmm

AH HERE

"A kind heart that was trampled by the world and not allowed to blossom"

I think if he was ever put in a position where he could feel safe, stable, and over all treated with love long enough to where he can open up to accept it, we would see a very different Norton ;; A Norton that can finally be himself 😭 He has been plagued by hardship, danger, and loss at every corner of his life and yet still tried to be good and kept trying for that hope of freedom one day ;; Then he starts coughing, and reality starts setting in 'he is running out of time' and desperation takes over ;; Desperation changes a person 😔 drives them to do things they wouldn't have ever thought to do before, and that can be dangerous when left unchecked orz but the fact that there is still hope that he can wake up speaks volumes on how strong his inner self is, that his true self has survived through it all and still willing to break out and take over again when given permission to 😭

I think he desperately needs a stable environment that he can make safe. It will take time for him to sift though the behaviors that are a result of trauma and what is truly him and he would need someone to help with that. He has zero faith in people and would need at least one to show him that it is okay to be good and still survive this world ;;

To slide in some Nortalice in here LOL: this is why I love nortalice so much cause Alice could bring out that side of him, show him the way/that he is allowed to be good and still thrive, and she is stubborn enough to stick with this long enough for Norton to finally accept~
