Miss mundane, well this is such an interesting concept, is it not?

Come now, you thought I'd be angry, did you not? Aren't life simply filled with surprises?

We are not so different after all, aren't we? We both simply love our playgrounds.

You keep to yours, and let me manage mine and we shall be just fine.

After all, you do wish for us to be civil, true?

[ Evil Queen, why are you dressed in such strange clothing? ]

It's strange to be controlled, isn't it?

[disheartening]

[ Snow White. Well isn't this just a pleasure? ]

Oh, dear Snow White. I doubt even that child is silly enough to think she can control me.

[thefairest]

You underestimate the abilities of our mundanes-- or, perhaps, you overestimate your own power.

[disheartening]

You know nothing of my powers yet, Snow.

[thefairest]

I know that good will always triumph over evil.

[disheartening]

Oh Snow, you never change. But some things will. In fact, everything will change for you, my dear.

[thefairest]

[ The Queen's words are unsettling, but she tries not to let her wariness show. ]

What is this 'change' you speak of?

[disheartening]

Oh, I wouldn't dream of spoiling this surprise for you - what kind of a step mother would I be then?

[thefairest]

You're bluffing. I doubt you have anything up your sleeve.

[disheartening]

Really, Snow, when have I ever made an empty promise?

[thefairest]

Whatever you have planned, I will find a way to defeat you.

[overlypleased]

You just have to remember, we control our mundanes, not the other way around.

[disheartening]

If you will even remember you have to defeat anyone at all.

[disheartening]

I doubt my mundane is that foolish that she will try to control me, if she is, well she will have to be taught who serves who.

[overlypleased]

Mine had to learn the hard way.

To think she could control me. It was nearly funny, actually.

[disheartening]

They are but children, so young and filled with foolish aspirations.

[gild]

What a civil servant you're being for your writer, Regina. How heartening.

[disheartening]

[ Blast you to hell and back. ]

I'm sure you realize, Mr. Gold, that I can work with an ally. After all, my motives are entirely altruistic, and my mundane is nothing but a sweet child.

[gild]

[ Don't make him try and set you on fire again, Regina, you know he's crazy enough to do it. ]

Ah, it's always good to find like-minded individuals you can work with, congratulations. I'm sure you'll do great things together.

[disheartening]

[ Damn you, ok? damn you ]

And I am too. She seems to be someone I can work with.

[gild]

[ He loves you too. ♥ ]

I wonder if anyone's yet warned her about your temper. Ah, well. I'm sure she'll find out what you're capable of soon enough, hm.

[disheartening]

If she hasn't guessed and still took this upon herself then she isn't the brightest crayon in the box.

[gild]

It is so hard to find good help these days, it's true, that I suppose you have to take it where you find it.

So tell me - any idea where your newfound ally has their eye set? Do share... Please.

[disheartening]

She wishes to send me out. Where, she hasn't decided yet. But she doesn't intend to keep me here, she knows better.

[gild]

Really now? I'm only saying since of late, you've not been the keen judge of character you usually are. Simply take Ms. Swan for instance.

Oh, my mistake - Sheriff Swan. Still getting used to that title.

[disheartening]

What about her?

[gild]

Only that she's stayed far longer than your predictions would have it. In fact, one might even go so far as to say she's becoming a regular fixture around these parts.

[disheartening]

A weed can be stubborn but that does not make him more than just that, Mr. Gold. Do be sure, I know how to tend to my garden.

[gild]

Yes, yes, of course.

Though that does bring to mind Sheriff Swan's particular own knack for dealing with such things. Gardening-wise of course. Tell me, how is that tree of yours doing?

[disheartening]

[ ugh be damned, you vile -- !! ]

My tree is just fine Mr. Gold, I appreciate your concern. I didn't know you took an interest in gardening.

[gild]

[ You first, dearie. ]

I've been known to shovel a time or two. In fact, that was last time I saw dear ex-Sheriff Graham - while I was working one of my plots. Dreadful shame about that whole business, wasn't it.

[disheartening]

Tragic, indeed. So cruel are the matters of the heart.

[gild]

Indeed they are, as you're so very well aware. Aren't you.

[ He knows how you do, 'Madam Mayor'. ]

[disheartening]

Come now, Mr. Gold, I may be very well educated but I am no cardiologist.

[overlypleased]

Aren't they just?

We'll find ways to crush them yet.

[gild]

No, no, I simply meant about your falling out with him just prior to his suddenly taking ill. [ : ) ] I do apologize, but you know small towns. Nothing ever stays secret for long.

[disheartening]

Just after darling Snow White and her handsome prince.

[disheartening]

[ she hopes you choke, ok? ]

Of course. I had deep regrets over the matter. That we have not managed to make amends before his unfortunate death. One never knows what to expect.

[overlypleased]

Oh, of course.

First thing is first.

[gild]

[ Insert trollololololo here. ]

Yes, it's so hard to expect every little detail, isn't it.

[disheartening]

His death was a tragedy. I can only hope there will not be others.
