[If everyone knew or not, Lucy feels like she has to say it. In case some of Emma's friends didn't know, they should. she has cried a lot over this, and while it does get a bit easier each day...she does miss her grandma a lot. She misses her family a whole lot, but one thing at a time. When she turns on the feed, it's just her voice. Not as chipper as she was before, more somber and softer.]

If anyone was friends with Emma Swan, I'm sorry to say...she's gone back to her home world.

[Which, thinking about it, would either dropped her off at Storybrooke or the Enchanted Forest, but that's not the main point.]

She would've said goodbye if she had the chance, so please don't hold that against her.

[Done. At least people know now....and hopefully she did the right thing.]

[jolting]

That was very responsible, Lucy. I doubt anyone will hold it against her, though. [he'll still stalk this to make sure people don't upset Lucy]

[thestoriesarereal]

I hope not.

[Her voice is small and she ends the voice feed there and switches to text.]

Are you mad at me?

[jolting]

I could have prepared you both a little better. Let's call it a learning experience and grow from it, all right?

[thestoriesarereal]

...You're disappointed then.

I'm sorry, Victor.

[jolting]

I've already forgiven you. Can you do the same for me?

[thestoriesarereal]

I wasn't mad at you..so there's nothing to forgive.

[jolting]

It was a lot to spring on you after what you've been through.

I would like it if you and James got along, but I won't rush you.

[thestoriesarereal]

It's...a lot of changes...and I'm was fine with everything until James--Jim, tried to get through the door.

[jolting]

["Jim"? So that's what most people call him]

Like I said, a learning experience. But you have to know I would never invite someone over who would hurt you or take you away.

[bringbackgold]

I didn't really know her, but I am sorry. We don't get many chances to say goodbye to people who leave.

[thestoriesarereal]

No...no we don't. I never got to meet her until now. She's...she was my grandma.

[bringbackgold]

Oh. You must have been the one she was asking about recipes for.

[ Still baffled. She wasn't old enough to be a grandma. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

Yeah... [There's a pause as she gives a sad smile.] That was me.

She didn't know she was a grandma. My dad, her kid, is...was still a kid when she last saw him.

[bringbackgold]

[ It makes a little more sense. But, he doesn't think too hard on it. Other worlds have extraordinary things. ]

I was going to say, she seemed younger. That's different.

[ Pause... ]

And kind of neat that your world makes that possible.

[thestoriesarereal]

Not so much possible, but more like...she's from the past and I'm the future. But not the distant future with robots or anything.

[There's a pause of her own.]

..what did you know of Emma?

[bringbackgold]

Only that she needed some help with food, so I sent her some recipes.

[ So not very well. It all sounds a bit like some weird sci-fi to him so it's good Lucy corrects that thought. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

Thank you...for doing that. I'm sure they helped.

[deathkid]

I'm sorry, kiddo. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

[thestoriesarereal]

...can you bring her back? Or know if she’s okay?

[ Stupid to ask, but never hurts to try. ]

video

[deathkid]

[ his face falls and he frowns, giving a slow shake of his head. ]

My power doesn't work like that, but I can tell you that I don't sense her in the Underworld.

audio

[thestoriesarereal]

Okay.

[There's a deep breath on her part. She's tired; physically and emotionally.]

..thank you for trying, Nico.

video;

[deathkid]

[ a slight nod as he gazes at the feed, concern in his eyes. ]

Not a problem. Just let me know if you need anything, okay?

video

[thestoriesarereal]

[Lucy can see the concern in his eyes and decide to switch to video feed. She doesn't have a smile on her face, or light in her eyes. There's a somber look on her face.]

Okay.

[She looks down for a moment, before asking a question.]

...does this happen a lot here? People coming and then leaving?

video

[deathkid]

[ seeing her face is a little relieving, though he's surprised to see she isn't crying. tough kid, he thinks. ]

It can. I've had a few friends leave after being here only a short time. Sometimes they come back.

[thestoriesarereal]

[Oh, she's cried plenty of times already. It's more like, she can't cry anymore because she's too tired, or ran out of tears...maybe both.]

What happens when they come back?

[Okay, hope, gotta have a bit of hope because maybe Emma will come back and everything will be just as it was before.]
