Really, darling?

[She looks....bored.]

This won't last. You're just the latest in a long line of people who've underestimated me. Mother, Jafar, that little brat Alice. And yes, even him.

And no, I'm not going to talk about him. I'm a Queen, with more important things to do than dwell on the past.

Oh bloody hell!

ohai you

[loveisnotenough]

[OOC: *cough* River-mun here. I finally gave in.]

...Speak of the devil.

HEEE! I wondered if that was maybe you XD

[heartlessknave]

Look, we don't need you around here. You can just go scarper off.

[loveisnotenough]

Believe me, darling, I'd love nothing more than to get back to my palace. But until this...peasant lets go of me, I'm more or less stuck. So it's "bloody" hell for both of us.

[And yes, she takes the opportunity to mock his accent there.]

[heartlessknave]

[Nice, Anna. Very nice. He is so impressed at how you have grown as a person]

That's just fantastic. I feel sorry for your mun, she clearly has no idea what a right pain you are.

[loveisnotenough]

[At least she moved up in the world, Will. That's more than you ever did.]

Well we agree on something, then. She'll learn. In time.

They all do.

[heartlessknave]

[He's moved up! Sort of. If you squint?]

I don't know. The way I hear it, muns are about the most stubborn people you'll find in any world. I wouldn't hold your breath on yours getting a clue.

Or wait. Come to think of it, do hold your breath. Go on. I'll wait.

[loveisnotenough]

You should know better than anyone that I am not a force easily reckoned with.

[She scoffs, waving her hand dismissively.] I wouldn't stoop as to give you the satisfaction.

[heartlessknave]

[knows this all too well]

Just remember if you think this is bad now, it could get a lot worse.

[loveisnotenough]

I've survived worse. I can handle this, Will.

[mywillisthine]

More important things like loosing important parts of your plan?

[loveisnotenough]

Aren't we smug. Laugh it up while you can, genie. My plan will proceed - you can't escape me for long.

[mywillisthine]

I escaped you once and I can escape again. You may have my bottle but that doesn't mean you can control me. Not while Alice has her wishes.

[loveisnotenough]

[Now it's her turn for smugness.] Ah, but she won't have them for much longer, darling. Tick tock, tick tock.

If you come with me maybe I'll be kind enough to let you say goodbye to her.
[She probably won't, but if it gets him where she wants him...it won't be the first lie she's told. Or the last.]

[mywillisthine]

[not even phased] you should know better then to underestimate Alice.

Never. [yeah, so not believeing her] I'm never going with you. I will have no part of your schemes.

[loveisnotenough]

[She won't dignify that first remark with a response. because he's got a point? SHUT UP MUN]

You're already playing your part, darling. [Damn. Can't blame her for trying.] Just because you've gone off-script doesn't mean the show can't go on.

It will go on.

[mywillisthine]

[Oh and he noticed too]

Tell me, how did Jafar take finding out just how off-script I went? [having no comment about the show he wants no part of, he's just going to taunt her]

[loveisnotenough]

[She sneers at that.] Not well, though I'm sure you knew that.

Still, he seems to have found another way at tormenting your beloved, so, things aren't a total loss.

[thelizard]

Would it help if I told you that I've never underestimated you?

[loveisnotenough]

[She raises an eyebrow] It's certainly not doing anything to get me OUT of here now, is it?

...But at least you've got some semblance of a brain. More than I can say for the rest of this lot.

[thelizard]

Thank you, your majesty. [A slight bow, as if to say "See, I'm showing respect, please don't magically beat me unconscious again like you did before you captured Will?"]

...But why, may I ask, don't you want to dwell on the past? It seems everyone's in that state of mind lately, and I don't get it.

[loveisnotenough]

[The girl may not be high-class, but at least she's got manners. A bit of proper respect certainly eases the dreadful situation. Oh, that was you? She doesn't recognize you without your face in the dirt. ALSO THE MUN WANTS TO KNOW WHY WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM LIZ SINCE]

Because if I dwell on the past, it means I've lost focus on my future. And I've worked too hard for it to let it slip away now. Perhaps that's not something someone of your position would understand.

[thelizard]

[Snort! Giggle!]

Sorry, sorry, I know you weren't trying to be funny there, but...yeah, damn right "someone in my position wouldn't understand"; my future's a total blank because canon up and forgot about me!

[Yes, Mun and Muse here also want to know why we haven't heard from her since; her casting call said it was a recurring role so when does it actually start recurring!?]

[loveisnotenough]

[Oh, joy, it's a pity party now. But at least now she recognizes you, Lizard.] Sorry I can't sympathize, darling. Perhaps you simply drew the short straw. Somebody has to.

[This mun was starting to think the poor thing was dead! Which seemed rude and also unlikely considering how that beatdown looked.]

[thelizard]

True, but you'd think Will would at least give me a namedrop...

[Er, you must have missed it: her last scene was a brief one where she's spying on Anastasia looking forlorn and touching stonified Will. She's very much alive, making the absence all the more glaring.]

[believesinalice]

[have a little girl glare] Alice is not a brat!

[loveisnotenough]

[Who let the infant in? A narrow, judgmental glare in return.] Because you're clearly full of wisdom on the subject.

[But as she looks closer, she sees something...familiar about the girl. A slight resemblance to the bratty thorn in her side.] ...What's your name, darling?

[believesinalice]

Millie. My name is Millie.

[loveisnotenough]

Millie. [She gives a tiny nod, trying to size up the younger girl.] And just what's Alice ever done that's got you singing her praises?

[believesinalice]

She's my older sister. [Well, half sister technically. Not that that matters to Millie.]

[loveisnotenough]

...Sisters are overrated, darling.
