Audio/Video --- un: L.Mills

[thestoriesarereal]

So...[The audio was the first to turn on, and Lucy figures it out when she sees her screen is dark. She quickly changes it to video, looking at the camera, unsure of what she's doing but she has to try. The network gets to see a young girl who looks unsure, but trying to be brave at this moment. A lot has been on her mind, but she needs to figure this place out first.

To some, she may carry certain characteristics of another young person from a long time ago..or recent.]

I can't say this is cool or not, we're on a moon and there aren't any flying cars but...

Anyone here know of Snow White? Or...The Evil Queen? And if they're here...maybe, point me in their direction?

[Is she being serious? The look on her face says yes. She needs to find people she can trust, and hopefully not be placed in a group home.]

[ Those names do sound very familiar to Emma. Too bad the girl saying them doesn't ]

Maybe? Why?

[audio]

[thestoriesarereal]

Because I need to find them. This is gonna find weird, but they're my family. They go by different names though; Mary Margret and Regina Mills.

Re: [audio]

[thesavior]

Seriously?

[Emma knows she is not lying though ]

I call Mary Margaret something else.

[audio]

[thestoriesarereal]

Yes, and no--it's not a made up thing. It's the truth. [Because she's gone through this again with Henry...but if this person doesn't believe her, then whatever, she can figure something else out.

Or...maybe not]

What do you call her? Is she here?

Re: [audio]

[thesavior]

Mom.

[thestoriesarereal]

Ha. Ha. You can't call her 'Mom.' Only one person can do that.

Or...

What's your name?

[jolting]

I don't know if either of them are here. I'm sure we would've heard something if the Evil Queen was around.

[no, he is not questioning why this little girl is asking]

audio

[thestoriesarereal]

[Oh...someone who doesn't doubt they're real?]

So...you personally know both of them?

[jolting]

Sure. I know them as Mary Margaret and Regina, though. They could be different from the ones you're looking for.

[he is no stranger to other worlds, after all]

audio--> video

[thestoriesarereal]

[The video feed turns on and look! It's a little girl with a soft smile that looks a little bit like Henry's.]

Do you know if Mary Margaret is here? Or maybe David Nolan?

[jolting]

[he figured it was a child from the voice, but that smile... It does look very much like Henry's. Weird.

Anyway, hi little girl. Have a bleach-blonde man in a collared shirt. He at least attempted to dress down]

I saw Mary Margaret not long ago in Storybrooke. You one of her students?

[honestly, with the population growth from the Camelot people and now those from the Land of Untold Stories, he's sort of lost track]

video.

[shoplifter]

[Laura stares in surprise for a bit — because the face is definitely that of her friend's, but it's... the sound of everything is off, this 'Evil Queen' and Snow White... and her username isn't familiar at all, but the surprise of seeing a face from 'home' keeps her quiet for a time. The chances of this being Delilah are slowly ebbing away with each response. Sometimes this happens. This place does weird things.

It... makes her sad. But it's nice to see her, even if it's not her.

Or something. She's not sure.

... She should probably say a reply before this gets weird.]

Who is the Evil Queen?

[It's quietly spoken, with a Laura stoicism.]

Video.

[thestoriesarereal]

[ Lucy is surprised to see another kid on the network. From what little she saw, she thought she might be the only one. Maybe it’s a chance to make a new friend? There’s a small smile on her face, trying to look friendly, but she’s still unsure of this place....]

The Evil Queen, she’s.... a queen that’s evil and also Snow White’s step mother. They were enemies before but they’re friends now.

[ Lucy lets that sink in for a moment and knows how strange that has to sound to someone else...]

She also goes by another name, Regina....and I’m Lucy. What’s your name?

Video.

[shoplifter]

[Her brow furrows at the thought of - well, an evil queen as a friend.

Strange. But the world's strange in general.]

... Laura. Does she like being called that? The Evil Queen.

Video.

[thestoriesarereal]

[Well...not just a friend, but a family member too.

It's a long story and her family tree has all sorts of weird branches to it.]

Laura, nice to meet you. [At least there's another kid here...not so bad.]

Sort of? I don't know, but she's not evil.

Video.

[shoplifter]

She must not like it, then. It makes her sound bad.

[Surely!! At any rate...]

You want to find her?

[franciscoramon]

I was pretty disappointed by the lack of flying cars, too.

[ But the kid seems like she's not pulling a prank or anything, and Cisco's learned to sort of just go along with stuff in this place, no matter how completely bonkers it seems at first. He's sure he'd seemed crazy, too, asking for a guy called 'The Flash' when he first arrived. ]

Never met anybody named that. I know the old story, with the whole poison apple and dwarves and sh- stuff. Are those, like, stage names, or is somebody going around actually calling herself 'The Evil Queen'?

video

[thestoriesarereal]

[Lucy peers at the person on her screen, faintly noting that he looks like he might be related to her? In any case, she was disappointed that no one seems to know who she's talking about--outside of their character names.]

There's a lot more to her story than that. A whole lot more. But, she doesn't go around calling herself The Evil Queen, not anymore at least. The name is stuck with her now, I guess.

But, she also goes by Regina...or Roni. As for Snow White...is anyone here named Mary Margaret?

[franciscoramon]

But she used to go around calling herself that?

[ The way Lucy had said there was more to the story makes it sound as if the fairytale Cisco had mentioned is actually, in fact, relevant. Not the whole narrative, but a part of it. Can she really be serious? ]

Never met anybody named Regina or Mary Margaret around here. I can keep an ear out, though, just in case. Have you tried checking at the police station? They probably have records of all the residents. Might work better than the network.

[ He can't resist the urge to give advice, even though she hadn't been asking for it. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

Yes, before she became a hero and put all that in the past.

[Still super serious here, because it's all true. At least in her world it is--was. Before the curse took over and changed their lives.]

Huh, there's really a police station here? [Color her surprised. She honestly didn't think of that. She could surely find it, right? March right up there and ask if she could see the records of the residents.

But would they would comply with her demands wishes? That remained to be seen.]

I can try there. How many blocks away is it from the shared housing place?

[franciscoramon]

Got it. So it's a redemption story?

[ Cisco's just going along with this, and it's all a big trick, well, no harm in indulging a little kid, even if the idea of someone really going around calling herself 'The Evil Queen' is completely wild to him. ]

Yep. A police station, a fire station, and a post office, and a school - all the stuff you'd find in an ordinary city.

[ The girl must be relatively new, in that case, if she doesn't even know something as basic as that. Cisco just doesn't get it, when the portal pulls through people so young. Normally, he thinks about this place as benevolent, if a little bit bizarre, but this kid seems way too small to be displaced to a whole new world. ]

It's about six blocks. Hang on, I can send you the address. Do you know how to use your phone's map to get directions?

[ In his experience, kids are pretty quick to pick up how tech works, and there's a chance all she needs is the location and she'll be good to go. ]

[ex_jelmazmo599]

I've met an evil queen. You would not wish to encounter her, little one.

( She hadn't, really. It'd been necessary. )

Are your parents here with you?

( It can't be helped; her maternal side is fully engaged by the thought of a child alone in the world. )

[thestoriesarereal]

[Oh...well this lady looks like she belongs in a fairytale. Considering how she's acting and how lovely she looks...]

I think we might have our 'Evil Queens' mixed up. The Evil Queen also goes by Regina....or Roni. I was hoping she'd be here...or someone else I'd know.

[There's a shake of her head.]

No, they're not. At least I don't think so, but someone said if they were here, they would've seen this and said something?

[ex_jelmazmo599]

We do, it seems: I was thinking of Cersei Lannister. I fear that if there if anyone here by that name, I haven't seen or met her yet.

( A frown, and her eyebrows knit together. )

I believe they would have seen your name and contacted you, yes. Have you anywhere to stay?

[thestoriesarereal]

I haven’t heard of that name before but it does sound evil.

[ She’s a kid, she’s honest about her opinions. But back to the topic at hand. So no one she knew was really around...except for Emma. So there’s one bright side to this. ]

That depends if they know who I am...or recognize the name “Mills” it’s a long story.

[ There’s a faint nod of her head. ]

I found someone to stay with—my grandma. I didn’t expect to see her here but she is. So that’s good.
