on looking for a second game for this creep

[exceptone]

Let's make a deal, Mun.  I'll agree to go wherever you want to go... provided you find a game that has other children. The place you've sent me to is just full of adults-- adults who don't seem to believe in much of anything at all, who don't want to play any games.  It's hardly any fun. 

[That's a lie, it's totally fun.  DEAL W/IT, PAN.]

Come on, Mun.  Let's play.

[madcuriosity]

Just other children? Goodness that seems easy enough to solve.

[exceptone]

So it would seem. And yet, she's considering sending me away to a prison ship where most children aren't even allowed to set foot. [Shockingly, he doesn't want to go there. ]

[madcuriosity]

That isn't any fun at all! I wish you could come to where I am, there are all sorts of children there. Oh, but not many boys, I should mention.

[exceptone]

A place without many boys? Where is that?

[madcuriosity]

Oh! Well, that would be asgardeventide!

[undealt]

[could you be more of an ass rn...]

I can't imagine what a disturbing feeling that must be for you.

[ALL THOSE ADULTS.]

[exceptone]

[The answer is always yes, laddie. ALWAYS.]

It certainly takes some getting used to, but I'll have fun with them yet.

[undealt]

[daddy issues intensify.]

I never thought I'd see the day you started branching out.

[aka i hoped you'd STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE .]

[exceptone]

Well, I'm just full of surprises, Rumple. You of all people should know that.

[undealt]

Considering what generally happens when I get surprised by you, is it any wonder I block it out?

[fuckingneal]

[He doesn't even have threats for you yet. Neal is just going to glare from a distance.]

[exceptone]

[Come play with Grandpa Pan, Baelfire!]

[fuckingneal]

You need to stay on Neverland, where you belong. [There's an unspoken AND AWAY FROM MY SON there somewhere.]

[exceptone]

And miss out on all the fun that can be had out there? I don't think so.

Besides, Henry could use a friend.

[fuckingneal]

[Oh hell no, son grandpa]

If you touch him, I swear to god-

[exceptone]

Oh, I won't lay a finger on him. I can promise you that. [After all, Henry has to give him his heart ~willingly~]

[fuckingneal]

[Your smile is not making him feel any more at ease, you little shit.]

What do you want with him, anyway? [Because you always want something. Alas, his game canon point leaves him so clueless, sigh.]

[unboy]

Everywhere has children, doesn't it?

[ Not that she's scoping, or luring or anything. Go away, stinkbrain. ]

[exceptone]

Not everywhere. Some of these places don't even allow children.

[Pause, then a smiiile.]

Hello, Wendy.

[unboy]

How unfortunate.

[ For children to not be allowed, at is. Though really, it's probably for a good reason. Peter's smile is returned with a lousy one of her own. She does at least know how to 'play nice'. ]

Peter.

[exceptone]

You know... There's something about being away from Neverland that makes you realize the things you might've taken for granted. [Such as...] I've missed our games. [Where he's at, people aren't really willing to play. At least Wendy indulged in his games... even if she wasn't quite willing.]

[unhand]

You in more places. That's the last thing anyone needs. [ICly speaking, anyway. OOCly it would be awesome.]

[exceptone]

Oh, believe me, [Because he's totally the type of person you should believe.] I'd much rather stay in Neverland, myself. But you know how these Mundanes get. Once there's an idea in their heads...

[unhand]

Not being allowed to stay or leave save at the whims of someone else... [GEE SOUNDS FAMILIAR.] You must hate that. [Hook's not fond of it either, but he can at least take advantage of the moment to smirk at Pan's difficulty.]

[exceptone]

[He does scowl briefly. It's a feeling he's not accustomed to, AND HE DOES NOT LIKE IT. But he's going to pretend it's all aces.] And yet, I still find ways to have fun. [And to get what he wants.] We have an understanding, my Mun and I.

[unhand]

Do you, now. [If there's anyone he'd believe it of, it's Pan.] And what's that understanding? Do enlighten me.

[lightbringing]

Now, that's just mean. Everyone likes to play games.

[He's currently playing one with your family as we speak. 8D]

[exceptone]

[His family IS fun to play with...]

In my experience, most adults don't enjoy the kinds of games I play.

[lightbringing]

[And the children aren't perceptive enough to know better.

I mean.]

I'm sure if you found the right way to approach them, they'd come around.

[exceptone]

And how do you approach them?

[lightbringing]

The same way I approach everything else. From a distance.

[starktomboy]

Who says children believe more than adults?

[She gave up believing in quite a lot and she's still only eleven! Exception to the rule?]

[exceptone]

It's always been my experience. I'd feel very sad for those who don't. [lol no he wouldn't, he' s practically a sociopath.]

[starktomboy]

[Somewhat skeptical because normally people aren't all that sympathetic to her. The ones she knew her own age had experienced similar troubles in Westeros. She's still getting to know those children in the game she's currently in.]

The only thing you should believe in is that your mundane is going to send you somewhere stupid.

[Although this guy could probably handle himself...]

[exceptone]

[He does suspect he'll end up somewhere not-so-nice, but so long as he can make his own fun...]

So. What's the stupid place your mundane sent you to?

[starktomboy]

It's called Teleios.

[And the only thing not stupid about it is a) her brother is there and b) she may have made friends with this one kid Henry. Too early to tell, not that she needs friends.]

There are people who run the place called Agents. They can give you things if you ask but that's about it.

[She's still not sure she wants much of anything. No amount of magic can bring back her whole family, she thinks.]

[geneticfaith]

I know a place with a few children!

[Oh how naive Henry is when he's not been to Neverland.]

[exceptone]

[HENRY, YOU SWEET SUMMER CHILD. Pan's just going to smile knowingly.]

Do you?

[geneticfaith]

My mun brought me to Teleios and I have to go to school with other children. It's really great because all my family is there.

[Yup. All of them. Well the alive ones anyway.]

[exceptone]

You have to go to school? I wouldn't call a place like that great. [Especially because family? Is overrated.] You should see Neverland-- you can do anything you want there.

[geneticfaith]

I don't mean have to have to. I'm meant to but I don't go that often. No one makes me.

Wait, Neverland? Are you Peter Pan?

[hero_of_smiles]

There are plenty of places with kids if you know where to look.

[exceptone]

So it would appear. Now it's a question of finding one that appeals to both me and my mun.

[hero_of_smiles]

Uh, well, there's Luceti. I'm there and it's got some kids in it. I think. Mostly teenagers.

What kind of game ARE you looking for anyways?

[theboywiththebook]

[Internal screaming intensifies. He is so glad he's out of a game right now. Probably the safest place to be is inside his mun's on head.]

[exceptone]

[COME ON, HENRY, PAN JUST WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND AND STEAL YOUR HEART.]

[theboywiththebook]

[NO! Back off my heart, Pan. I'm done singing Last Christmas over here while I'm dead/unconscious.]

[uncurse]

Trust me, kid, you're better off sticking to one. You're gonna have a hard time finding a place where the games they play are kid-friendly.

[exceptone]

Why, that just makes these games sound all the more exciting. [Especially if these not-so-kid-friendly games run on the sadistic side. He always enjoys those.]
