doctor whale, once upon a time, lol w h a t am i doing

[stuckups]

Alright, alright. I can get used to this. We can make something work here. Who says no to things like games, right? And hey - this is supposed to be fun, meaning no stress, whether it's over voices or not. Just relax. I'm not a difficult guy.

Also - just before we get started here - those names you have for my icons. Probably not gonna be so witty if I'm not who you think I am.

I could tell you, I guess. But I won't.

We can make a game out of that, too.

Being beautiful

[theboywiththebook]

Who does your mun think you are?

[Henry's curious too, he hasn't been able to peg him yet.]

lmao. ♥

[stuckups]

What? You mean you haven't guessed? I thought you were supposed to be the best at this.

[why can't you just say if you're peter pan or not, whale?]

I think Once Hype is starting again.

[theboywiththebook]

Hey, give me some slack. I wasn't able to figure out, Mr.Gold.

[He could say he's captain Hook.]

i certainly hope so. i need it back in my life.

[stuckups]

Well, then I guess you need to practice more. What good is it if I just give the game away?

[excuse you, the noble peter pan does not affiliate himself with pirates. NOT THAT HE KNOWS THAT.]

So, out of curiousity, what makes you think he's the Pan?

[theboywiththebook]

I guess that's true. But you know, it'd help with Operation Cobra and stuff.

honestly, i'm probably just jumping to wild conclusions. mostly how creepy/overtly ~adult he's

[stuckups]

presented. because adulthood would obviously be peter's unhappy ending, and the way he's perceived as a creeper would be how peter would be perceived if he was grown. and some of his lines are just callous enough to be childish. and the, "i never do what's expected," line with mary-margaret in 1x03. idk idk.))

There's nothing stopping you from playing along, you know. You guess it, I'll help, how's that?

Valid points

[theboywiththebook]

Hmm, okay...uhhh is the evil Queen in your story? Like, does she come to you at some point?

[stuckups]

Well, she exists in it. She exists in all of them. But traditionally, no, I don't believe we've had the pleasure.

[totallyhood]

Not who you think I am? Sensing a little bit of a split personality here.

[stuckups]

Let's think of it as multi-faceted, shall we? Or, she could just be plain wrong.

[totallyhood]

Oh sure, blame the mun lady. I'd think multifaceted guys wouldn't let their mun ladies decide anything without them.

[stuckups]

When did I say she decided anything? Maybe she's just got an active imagination. Nothing wrong with that. Keeps things exciting.

[totallyhood]

So you're just...going to go along with it?

[stuckups]

You don't have to make it sound so dull, you know.

[totallyhood]

Don't really know how to jazz up "go with the flow" unfortunately.

oh my god I love you

[unvarnished]

My mun thinks it would be amazing if your mun is right. And... now she's giggling. I don't know why.

he's my third from the series. i think i have a problem.

[stuckups]

It's not really a laughing matter. Though, I guess if it makes her happy. [totally casual shrug.]

rofl we'll start a support group

[unvarnished]

What, you don't like the idea of fighting pirates?

that is actually not a bad idea.

[stuckups]

That might not be too bad. Long as I don't have to be one. Scurvy and all that.

[unvarnished]

Don't think so, but you do get to hang out with mermaids.

[stuckups]

[Well hey that really doesn't sound that bad, but -] Fish tail, though? Really? Can't do anything about that?

[Whale you are such a creep.]

[unvarnished]

You'd have to ask a sea witch about that.

this is the best.

[whatbigteeth]

You say you're not difficult, but the morning rush says differently.

i aim to please.

[stuckups]

Lies. All of it. Better to hear it from the man himself, am I right?

[whatbigteeth]

Not really. I can totally see where they're coming from. You've got quite the reputation. [Not that she finds it bad at all, mind you. She's got her own sort of reputation.]

[stuckups]

Well, someone's gotta keep them talking. They'll see.

[whatbigteeth]

Or Granny might just ban you from the diner, if the talk gets scandalous enough.

[stuckups]

But -

[You know what? No. He will not even let himself look sad.]

No big deal. I can always make my own club.

[whatbigteeth]

Not that anyone other than me and maybe Leroy would join it.

[seesbeauty]

Well my mundane thinks you'll be just who you think you are, if that helps at all. I suppose I should feel lucky, not having that much doubt in my life.

[stuckups]

Oh, she's the one with the doubt. Not me. Nothing wrong with keeping 'em guessing.

But - I don't think I've had the pleasure, Miss...?

[seesbeauty]

....Belle. I'm Belle.

[And she only hesitates because for twenty eight years, she's been Isobel, with no one to give her any nicknames. But it is Belle, she knows that now, and she smiles.]

[stuckups]

Belle. Huh. [a look - almost as though he's sizing her up because he's still creepy.]

I'm still going by Dr. Whale these days. Just to keep things interesting.

[seesbeauty]

[And it would make her uncomfortable if it weren't for all those other memories, her real ones. So she just gives him the wary look of someone unimpressed.]

Dr. Whale. Like Monstro.

[stuckups]

Monstro? You mean like -

[too late. he is laughing.]

Come on, you don't think I'd play it that obvious, do you?

[seesbeauty]

I don't know, I've never met you before. I'd call you a wolf if I didn't know better.

[stuckups]

I guess I can see where you'd get that. You'd still be wrong, but, you know. Half a point, how's that?

[seesbeauty]

I think I'll do alright without it, but thank you.

...I was Isobel here, by the way. Isobel French. It's only fair that I share what you've shared with me, Dr. Whale.

[stuckups]

Isobel. Nothing's still clicking.

Moe French's daughter, by any chance?

[seesbeauty]

...Yes. [Even though she has these memories that were put in her head by the curse, of her father putting her in the asylum, she does doubt that Regina gave him the same.]
