So. The application was finally submitted to forever_after - Now we wait

[swanprincess]

Was that application really necessary? The next episode is going to roll around and you're going to want to change my canon point, you realize this right?

[Emma shakes her head.]

Well, whatever. I know I can't stop you. Just be sure you know what you're doing. I'm already in one hell of a fairy tale world. I don't really want to deal with another one.

Oh but! It was such a lovely application!

[swanprincess]

[Oh look! It's the Snow White she actually grew up knowing about.]

Thanks, I guess?

I take it you're in this world?

[onebadapple]

Why yes I am! And everyone is so nice!

[swanprincess]

Great. That's good to know.

[Emma couldn't be more deadpan if she tried. But, she figured it wouldn't hurt to be nice.]

Have you been there long?

[onebadapple]

Not even two weeks, but it's so nice there!

[swanprincess]

Not too long, then.

My mun tells me this is a relatively new world?

[onebadapple]

Mmhmm! It opened October 1st!

[swanprincess]

[Oh my dear--- Emma shook her head, chuckling lightly.]

You're throwing me into a brand new world while we're only four episodes into the season? Really, mun?

That definitely explains why you've been there for such a short time. Anyone interesting I should keep my eyes open for?

[onebadapple]

Everyone is so very nice and interesting! I'm sure you'll be fine!

[finedprint]

I assume you looked everything over before its submission, Sheriff Swann?

[swanprincess]

Of course I did. I can't have her sending me into some weird game without at least getting the facts right.

[finedprint]

I suppose a change of pace is always refreshing.

[swanprincess]

Yeah, well it definitely wasn't the place I was planning to get to.

[finedprint]

And what place might that be? Back to Storybrooke?

[swanprincess]

[Was that a serious question? Really, Gold? Of course she meant Storybrooke!]

No, Neverland.

[Deadpan.]

[finedprint]

[ color him interested that the savior who doesn't want to be a savior is trying to get back to a town she ran away from...twice

wait. neverland. that throws him]

What...do you know of Neverland?

[swanprincess]

Exactly what everyone else does?

[He does know she was being sarcastic, right? Oh god.]

Peter Pan's home? The place where you can stay young forever? You know, normal everyday Neverland.

[Oh. OH. Please don't say this place is actually a real place. Though, at this point, Emma shouldn't be surprised.]

[finedprint]

[ he clears his throat]

Common folklore, then. Always entertaining to see reflections of it in this world.

[ smooth transition time ]

Well, your presence is sorely missed, Sheriff. Our charming Prince seems to be acclimating, but he has a very...limited perspective on certain issues.
