Mun,

The cruel irony in sending me from Storybrooke to another place apart from my world hasn't escaped me. Especially having only recently realized that I was, in fact, trapped in Storybrooke by the curse as opposed to simply living there, it seems like especially poor timing.

For now, I'll have to take comfort in the fact that Emma will be joining me, but a life of nothing more than constantly being pulled away from the people I love is not what I've always envisioned for myself.

I have no choice but to trust your judgement. On my own, I'll do what I can to adjust, but I'll warn you, I've gotten good at defying the odds, and I'm not going to take being separated from my family lying down.

- Snow

As if this island isn't atrocious enough as it is.

[While the mun flails in excitement, Regina disapproves. Of course.

And this is all nice and well until the other part of Snow's words register.]

How do you know about the curse?

[singstobirds]

Atrocious? An island in the middle of nowhere, where people are trapped with no way to get back to their daily lives. That sounds an awful lot like your handiwork to me, Regina.

[Her expression is grim, but her eyes widen slightly at the question. Once it registers, anger slips away and is replaced by a triumphant smile.]

Because good always wins, and your curse? Was no exception.

[herzlos]

World of difference. I had my reasons.

[Regina's life is pain.]

I left too early. Your precious savoir would have been no use anymore if I had been there to deal with her.

[singstobirds]

Everyone has a reason for what they do. I know you hate me. I understand why. I just wish we could have found a better way.

We were friends, once.

[littledragongirl]

That's not fair. I hope you can get back to your family soon.

[singstobirds]

[She smiles warmly, appreciative.]

Thank you. It seems like many of the people there have been through something similar. Everyone has been taken away from someone they love. To be separated like that... I would never wish that pain on anyone.

[littledragongirl]

I wouldn't, either. It happened to me, so I know what it's like.

[ex_galvanist88]

[heeey, let's make this EVEN MORE AWKWARD.]

I think that, considering your situation, just about anything would be poor timing.

/scream :D

[singstobirds]

[She falters for a moment. Oh. Oh.]

Dr. Whale.

[She pauses just long enough to collect herself, and manages to smile despite the distinct feeling of awkward.]

I'm afraid I have to agree with you. Does that mean you remember, too?

c:

[ex_galvanist88]

[Just the person you want to see, right?]

I do: I remember exactly what she did to us.

[Bitter? You bet your ass he's bitter.]

Anyway, let's get this elephant out of the room. I'm sure that you can put what happened while we were cursed behind us.

Hope you don't mind, couldn't help myself

[cursebroken]

Hey. At least you know you're not going in alone, no matter what sort of Hell you're being sent to this time.

[She rarely takes the time to actually listen to what her mun says- but what her mun is saying now is that this Emma she's referring to isn't her.

Well. It's still her....just not- ...her her.

Screw it, it barely makes sense but she's not here to argue with her mun about paradoxes.]

/more excited screaming

[singstobirds]

Emma...

[Even if it's a different Emma, she's her daughter and her best friend all the same.]

Why is it that you always say just the right thing?

:D

[cursebroken]

[She raises her eyebrows a bit, but even she can't help but smile a little.]

Good question. The right thing for you maybe-

[And then she sighs heavily, folding her arms.]

But I never really have been good at taking my own advice.

[unhand]

Funny how little these people care about what we've envisioned. Get used to it.

Apparently I picked a good day to post here! :3

[singstobirds]

It seems like that may be my only option. It's certainly not the first someone else has chosen to take the reins and steer my life as they see fit.

sdkfj apparently! we're all languishing during the hiatus.

[unhand]

Makes you wonder if you've ever been in charge, doesn't it? I'd doubt it. Few are.

as promised ❤

[fearthewolf]

[Just going to pretend she's from a later canon point because brainbreak Ugh, timing. Ruby winces.] You'd think they'd figure to give us all a break now and then.

But I'm sure Charming will be working just as hard to get back to you, Snow. [Ruby smiles. Attempted reassurance, probably not hitting the mark, but.] You guys have a habit for that.

yay yay yay yay! ❤

[singstobirds]

[She smiles warmly in reply.]

As I was telling Emma, it runs in the family. Although sometimes it feels like all our life is is losing each other and finding each other only to be torn apart again, over and over.

❤

[fearthewolf]

If it is a part, it's just a small part. One day, things will work out. [She does sigh, though.] Just because good always wins, doesn't mean we don't all have our share of hardship in the middle. Though sometimes, it would be much easier if we didn't, but that's wishful thinking. What matters is believing we'll make it.

/hand cheek

[theboywiththebook]

You're going somewhere else?

[Nooo, the curse was broken and she remembered. Not fair, not fair at all.]

But we were finally all together...

/squeals

[singstobirds]

[She softens visibly at the sight of Henry, shaking her head slightly.]

I know, sweetheart. I want all of us to be able to stay together, too.

I see very few Mary/Snow's on here

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry's still looking a bit upset about this. He's in a couple of games too and he knows his mun isn't going to send him to another.]

You'll find a way home though, right?

[onlyforlove]

Our daughter is already planning to join you, some of your work's already done, Snow. Even if it wasn't - we'll always find one another.

/yet more excited screaming!

[singstobirds]

We always do. Now if only we could stop losing one another with that same regularity.

:3 ♥

[onlyforlove]

It won't be easy, that's for sure. But some day we'll find a way.
