The Queen is Far From Amused

[moral_turnover]

Alright. Calm down and take a breath. You've been hyperventilating since the start of the episode and I swear it got worse towards the end. I thought I was the one being tortured...

Now listen up. Regardless of what's happened, we need to get that diamond back, and to do that I need to work with them. So pull yourself together already.

[Still bitter about the whole dead dad thing? YOU BET YOUR ASS HE IS.]

Might as well give up now, cause there's no way you're getting that diamond back.

kbqwguiqbwgqwr Oh hello Owen

[moral_turnover]

[Oh get over it already.]

Do you have any idea what you're doing? Who you're dealing with? You've tricked me once, but not again, Owen.

You best believe I will get that diamond back. And then you and Tamara are finished.

just when you thought your day couldn't get ANY WORSE

[fuckyeahstarwars]

[Neverrrrr]

I can tell the same thing to you. You have no idea what you're dealing with and there's no way you can stop us.

[offtheroad]

You start a lot of trouble, you know that? [ Irony, thy name is Nealfire ]

[moral_turnover]

[Really, Neal? Really? Does she look even remotely amused enough to deal with you right now?]

That means nothing coming from you. You and your father have started your own fair share, if I recall correctly.

[offtheroad]

I've been here less than a month and we're on 'town might be blown up' threat number two, if I recall correctly.

[moral_turnover]

You know. Instead of just standing around and mocking me, why don't you join your Emma and her parents in helping us recover the diamond?

Oh, wait. You can't, can you?

[offtheroad]

[ okay clearly they weren't going to be best friends or anything but ouch ]

Turns out Tamara had a magic bean.


Wonder how she managed to get one of those.

[moral_turnover]

[You weren't expecting her to play fair, were you Neal?]

[And then, that happened.]

The giant my mother brought from the Enchanted Forest started growing beans in a hidden field. It was only a matter of time before they were found.

[offtheroad]

Deliberately found, anyways. Just how many of those did you have? It'd be good to know how many people are going to fall from the sky wherever it is I end up.

[freakymayor]

You lost a precious diamond? You have to get it back, then! But...who are you going to work with in order to do that?

[moral_turnover]

[Who in the world..]

Of course I'm going to get it back.

[Or else everything she's worked for is gone. And then some.]

I never thought I'd have to say this but I have to work with the oh so helpful Charming Family to fix this mess.

[Not like they didn't just save her life at all. No. Lets completely forget that ever happened.]

[freakymayor]

Of course you will! From the way you talk about it, I can tell that the gem is priceless!

You don't get along with that particular family in your community? Why is that?

[moral_turnover]

"Priceless" couldn't be farther from the truth, actually.

[Considering the price is everyone's lives, including her own and her son's.]

Because they've taken everything from me. It's because of them that I cannot find happiness.

[freakymayor]

Well yes, that goes without saying.

Everything? What sort of things that would enable happiness could they have taken from you?

[moral_turnover]

[Oh never mind.]

They made me the "Evil Queen", as they so call me. They've taken away my son and they've killed my mother. Believe me, the live goes on.

[You could write about her life. Sad, really.]

[freakymayor]

Made you an Evil Queen, you say. How did they do that?

And WHAT? They took your own son away from you? Oh, killing your mother sounds just awful too, but your son?

[selfmadeprincess]

I'm growing quite fond of your canon, Miss Mills. It's so delightfully and unrelentingly sadistic.

[moral_turnover]

I'm so glad our lives bring you so much enjoyment.

[Their lives are rather sadistic, aren't they.]

[selfmadeprincess]

....I feel bad for Henry, though.

[moral_turnover]

[Henry..?]

How do you know Henry?

[selfmadeprincess]

I'm just a mild acquaintance of his. We were in a short-lived game together and are currently in another one.

[moral_turnover]

...What game?

[selfmadeprincess]

Lucieti.

[moral_turnover]

[Good thing she was used to this whole different worlds thing.]

Tell me about this place.

[selfmadeprincess]

What would I get in return if I did?

[enchantedsnow]

[She's trying to be cordial here. The fate of Storybrooke hangs in the balance. That, and she believes that she owes Regina as much and more...]

My Mundane was reacting similarly the whole way through...

[A slight pause.]

...and trust me...- you were not the only one.

[moral_turnover]

[A brow raised.]

Oh? And how is that, Snow?

[Trust was not something that came easily to her. Snow should know that better than anyone.]

[enchantedsnow]

[Snow lifts her gaze, meeting Regina's skeptical stare. Really, the last thing that she wants to do is re-live the experience, but Alas..]

Gold. He conjured up some magic that allowed me to 'see through your eyes'... long enough for us to figure out some details about your location.
I felt your pain. [There's a sort of empathy in those last words that's unforced. Sincere.]
