If only I could get that hat working...

I'm not even sure if it's still around anymore. My world, I mean.

You have so many countless hats in your house. I would know, I made one.

Why don't you go back there and get one of them to work. Magic's back in Storybrooke, right? That's what you said the hat needed to work.

[inthisstyle]

....I don't think any old hat will work.

[ Trust him, he's tried. ]

[madcuriosity]

Your hats do something other than... be a hat?

[inthisstyle]

They used to.

[madcuriosity]

What did they use to do?

[inthisstyle]

They, well it actually, would go to other places. It traveled through worlds.

[swanprincess]

Then make a new one!

[She just wants to get home damn it.]

[madcuriosity]

[Alice can understand mirrors... but hats?]

Such as where?

[inthisstyle]

Well... Wonderland, was one of them.

[ And the first one that came to mind. ]

There were a lot of them.

[madcuriosity]

But... you're the hatter. Don't you already live in Wonderland? And I certainly didn't need a hat to get there.

[inthisstyle]

I can't just... make a magic hat!

[inthisstyle]

It's kind of a long story, really...

[madcuriosity]

Well, I'm always fond of a story.

[swanprincess]

Have you even tried since magic came back? Have you?

[inthisstyle]

It's not really a nice story.

[madcuriosity]

Well... who better than an Alice for a hatter to talk to? You seem like you need it.

[inthisstyle]

Too many times.

[ Though, his thoughts have been in a lot of places other than the hat recently. ]

[inthisstyle]

I guess it started with Regina, then. We... traveled together quite a bit. But, she betrayed me and left me in Wonderland.

[madcuriosity]

Regina? [That was Latin for Queen. What little Latin Alice knew, she certainly knew that.] You... weren't born in your Wonderland?

[inthisstyle]

No, I wasn't.

I hate Wonderland, actually.

[madcuriosity]

[That's a new one.]

Oh... so... then shouldn't you be glad your hat to Wonderland no longer works?

[swanprincess]

[Emma sighed. Then she began to wonder what happened to the original hat.]

What happened to one Regina used?

[inthisstyle]

It was destroyed.

[inthisstyle]

I'm not trying to get to Wonderland, though.

[madcuriosity]

Where are you trying to get to, then?
