FILTER TO REGINA MILLS AND EMMA SWAN

Is it alright if I go out once you two are back?

HENRY MILLS + BAELFIRE (WITH REGINA MILLS & NEAL CASSIDY ON FILTER):

Can you guys stick together tomorrow? Regina, Neal, and I have something we need to go get and we want to make sure you two will be okay without us for the day.

REGINA MILLS AND EMMA SWAN

Look what the smartass brought us. Regina, do you think this can be rooted?

RONAN LYNCH

Hey, Ronan? It's Neal. You have a moment?

I'm heading to Arendelle today, for anyone who would like a tour of the kingdom. Of course, I don't intend to not visit another time if people have other plans.

I'm still not sure if I'll be able to wander the castle, or if there will be a different royal line here, perhaps my parents or grandparents. Arendelle is generally very peaceful for anyone who is worried about danger.

Oncers:

I have a bean. I'm not sure if I should use it, although I am curious of the realms beyond our land. Would anyone else want to come with me?

I'm going to try to keep this brief. I will not try to frighten you or deter you from enjoying your period here in these realms. I will say that I believe there are portions of the Enchanted Forest that are among the most beautiful of landscapes I have ever seen. That being said, I know that many of these locations summon a particular type of image for anyone raised in modern pop culture. Please do not approach this as if you are visiting a child's fairy tale or Walt Disney World.

These realms are rich in magic and history. We do not know the current era that we are landing in nor the political climate. As long as you are on guard, and do not do anything foolish, I believe you all should be fine. But keep in mind that many here do possess magic. Magic always comes with a price. Even the most innocent of offers could back fire. Be cautious. Be smart.

If you have questions about any specific location, I am willing to answer your concerns. Almost every location listed in the brochure I have visited quite recently before my arrival among all of you. For those who do not know me, my name is Neal Cassidy. If you run into any concerns and feel you should ask before proceeding, I will try to be as helpful as I can, but I may not always be available. I have matters of my own to attend to.

Again, be cautious with magic. Do not make deals or trades. And don't expect what you've seen in films or cartoons.

Edit: A reminder from Emma Swan: ...tapping your band twice and saying "Take me back to the ship" will automatically take you out of a situation. Remember this if you need out of a bad situation fast.

ONCERS

Rumplestiltskin will not be a concern. We have either arrived in a time period before or after his dominion as the Dark One; or he is not in this reality at all. That does not mean there isn't likely another Dark One somewhere in his place but he specifically is not present.

(OOC Note: I am at work and will be potentially very slow. I will try to answer responses as quick as I can but it may take me a while since I will need to verify on some realms. But Neal would know since he has been realm jumping. I will address all comments, I promise, just might take me longer than usual)

Do not go to Neverland.

Magic beans. Get ready to climb, bitches.

[Brakebills & Julia]

What are we thinking with the magic in this place? Do you think it's possible for me?

Also, why the fuck is everyone getting memory upgrades? Is mine coming soon or not?

[OUAT]

I lost my powers when I lost my hands. A magical ... deer lady grew them back. I haven't been able to cast any magic since then. I can still Travel and hear people's minds, but I can't do magic.

Is there anything in this place that could help?

What the fuck just happened? Why is this a thing that has to happen? Let's put our minds together for figuring out a way to not get any memory dumps. I'd like to hear some ideas. Magical. Scientific. Whatever we've got here.

[There be spoilers for The Magicians, season 3 up to episode 7 in here. And yes, Margo's lost an eye!]

I could visit Arendelle. But will it be my Arendelle? With Anna and Kristoff?

I'm not sure if I could come back to the ship if my sister is there. Or if the Kingdom needs me.

[ FILTERED TO 21+ ]
I need a night out, where I'm being told I'm pretty by a beautiful person and being plied with good wine. Multiple beautiful people encouraged and welcomed.

EDIT: Captain America (the single one), your presence & services are required at the Meridian Lounge tonight.

Your Good Person lesson of the day.

Stealing cars is wrong. Apparently there was some confusion on this issue, so I thought I would clarify. Stealing in general is wrong. Please do not steal from other people. It has a negative net effect on the balance of the universe.

Thank you,
Michael

[OUAT people + Bianca]

Where are we going first?

Who else is dressing up with me?

We can skip the spiders, the orcs, and the crater because no one has time for that.

Oh golly! This is so exciting! I've never been around live humans before and, well, the rest of you crazy kids, too. This is so great, I just know I'm going to learn so much from all of you.

What do you think I should do first? I've been debating between trying a saltine or wearing flip flops. Flip flops! Can you imagine? Me, an eternal celestial being in flip flops? It's going to be so exciting. I just hope this meat suit holds up okay. I'm certain that as long as I keep out of trouble, we won't have to worry about any kind of cosmic reverberation wiping you all out of existence should it become too damaged.

Oh! Oh! Does anyone have any questions for me? You humans (and other beautiful souls) are always so curious! I'm an architect and I design neighborhoods in The Good place. ;) I suppose I could start by clarifying things that are good, versus things that are bad.

Vaguebooking is definitely bad. Please be careful when using this forum to express your feelings. It's certainly not as bad as murder or paying money for music performed by California funk rock band The Red Hot Chili Peppers but all those little negatives add up, you know.

Wow. Really guys. You just seem so great.

My name is Michael, and I can't wait to meet all of you.

[ FILTERED TO EMMA SWAN & NEAL CASSIDY ]
We're having an adult night out and I'll even let one of you pick what we do.

I don't have time for this. I have to get back.

I'm needed at my sister's wedding, you cannot just whisk me away.

Send me back. Someone send me back.

Can we get a sitrep on how many seriously injured we've got?

Do we got enough medical supplies? If not what are we needing?

Are we all accounted for?

ETA: We do got some healers on board. If you wanna use their services you might wanna check in with them.

Just a head's up that there seems to be some rumbling about political talks with some neighboring country not going all that well happening. Ain't sure how big a thing it is considering the gossip is ranging from eye rolling types of convos to ones that actually are looking worried.

But I figure everyone being a lil alert ain't a bad thing.

[Hope Summers]

Our link stays open for the rest of our time here. No blocking each other with the whisperings happening.

ONCE UPON A TIMERS:

All right, guys. I've been going over this brochure, and I can see a few places that Henry's going to want to go. And Baelfire's going to want to draw.

So my question is: how much of this do you two want to do with me/Regina/Neal? And how much are you going to wanna do with your friends?

I'm already eyeballing getting gills and swimming with mermaids. I'm pretty sure Ariel's not down there, but still.

Stating the obvious aside: we've made another jump. Some of you remember (and would like to forget) the Prettiest Star space cruise ship. This one is on water this time. From what I can tell, it's a luxury cruise ship. Most of what I've seen seems familiar to cruise ships on Earth, but who knows so make sure you're careful until we know exactly what we're dealing with.

Check in on this post and see if your friends are here.

You know, I thought that whole thing about Santa was going to be a bust. Turns out I was wrong. I probably shouldn't have put three different leather jackets on my list.

First there's snow. I like snow. Then there's people swapping with facetwins. Not liking that so much.

NEAL CASSIDY:

Are you still yourself?

[Filtered to friends and family of Henry Mills]
Hello, my name is Martha Jones and I'm participating in the secret santa event. I've been given the name of Henry Mills and would very much appreciate any and all gift suggestions. Thank you kindly.

Coco made me feel like I need to play catch up and see Frozen. It worth the time?

HENRY MILLS

Want to help your old man go pick out something for this ball they are throwing in a couple weeks?

Happy to report that Swan House has survived Emma's cooking. We're all still breathing.

Somehow, I have leftover pie. I have 3 pumpkin, 2 1/2 apple, and 2 cherry to give away. First come, first serve. I ask that you share if there's more interest than pie.

[ FILTERED TO EMMA SWAN & NEAL CASSIDY ]
So, you two have been around longer than I have. I've been brainstorming about what to do here to make myself useful and I decided I'd be terrible at taking orders from anyone. I've been scouting the area and aside from a few coffee shops being my competition, I think I could start a bakery here.

Now, I'm going to go and see some banks about a loan. I have a proposal, market research, and projected sales. I rather ask you two for money than strangers, but I'd also understand if you don't want to or can't invest at the moment. You're free to look at the information I've gathered and analyzed before you decide anything.

I'm also good at bribing with baked goods. Just keep that in mind, in case you need a bit of convincing.

[NO DC OR MARVELS]

I can't be the only one missing when we used to actually get all the new releases.

Before we went to space there were teasers for Wonder Woman and the new Spider-man and now nothing. And Justice League and Thor were supposed to be out this year and NOTHING.

And no new rumors on the Gambit movie.

It's like the death of nerdom.

I miss new comics.

So, after I poked my nose into some of Sherlock's work, he advised I get in touch about that good word you offered him for a job? Who do I need to talk to and are bribes required?

And thank you, for the offer at all.

[Swan House filter]

What are we doing for Thanksgiving this year?

And if we have it here can we invite da Nea Dad over?

So, dimensions and portals and ... alternate worlds. That's a thing now? I'm not sure I buy all this.

But fine. Quarantine, for two days. What's the recommendations for TV?

[ OUAT GROUP ]
So, any idea about what we're going to do with our balls of fluff that could potentially eat our faces? Because I feel like this is a thing we should probably discuss before we accidentally break a rule and have an army of evil descending on us.

I put mine in a shoe box and spelled it shut. And it has air holes, for the record.

And here I thought this was going to be a quiet little town. No one got hurt, I hope?

EMMA SWAN

Flying monkeys.

REGINA MILLS

Hey.

What is the point of these costumes and disguises? What does this holiday commemorate?

REGINA MILLS:

So how are you settling in?

NEAL CASSIDY:

How's the land without magic with magic anyway been treating you?

BAELFIRE & HENRY MILLS:

You two wanna go out for dinner tonight?

For the record, PBS is the best channel. Did you all catch She Loves Me last night? It was wonderful.

HENRY MILLS

Do you think it's been enough time to where I can tell Emma the plans? And do you maybe want to help me paint some this weekend? Dash can come too if he wants. We'll get pizza and maybe we can talk Adam and Ronan into watching a movie?

I've been prodded and poked at and I do hate giving out my blood, so Emma Swan, you better show your gorgeous blonde self immediately and bring Henry with you. And I suppose if you bring Cassidy along, I won't be annoyed.

Please, could somebody tell me, is there a Sherlock Holmes anywhere? He's my boyfriend, and we were separated when that vortex thing brought me here.

EMMA SWAN

Are you busy?

KATNISS EVERDEEN

Did you---

I'm coming over tonight, okay?

In the wake of constant shuffling betwixt various universes, it is imperative that one keep the mind preoccupied. I find murder soothes mind. Not committing it, of course, but solving the puzzles surrounding heinous crimes.

This town does not prove conducive to satisfying my ego in that regard.

filter: emma swan
However, I have ultimately found something of interest in the cold case files. When you've some time, do swing by my flat, should that piece of information strike your fancy.

I never had a facebook or a myspace or any of those things so this is a fairly new ground for me. I can't say I love doing this but they said it is the best way to get to know everyone in the town. And now that I've settled into my apartment, well, I guess I've got the time.

So, hello. Neal Cassidy. I look forward to meeting everyone.

HENRY MILLS

BAELFIRE:

I heard you getting sick last night, and I noticed you didn't come down for breakfast. You feeling okay?

HENRY MILLS:

Have you spoken to your fat Neal yet?

EMMA SWAN

Here's a sampling of useless information I've gathered since you left.

• McDonalds serves breakfast all day now and Taco Bell actually has a breakfast menu.
  
• Burger King has fruit loops shakes.
  
• Granny's is in this town and the grilled cheese taste exactly as I remember.
  
• There is two new Star Wars movies (what?)

How are things going over there?

WHO: Neal Cassidy & Emma Swan
WHEN: Today
WHERE: Quarantine
WHAT: Neal's arrival. There's the typical proving to one another they are who they say they are.
WARNINGS: References to death on both sides of the coin.

( What the hell is this? )

WHO: Emma Swan, Baelfire (aged up to Neal)
WHEN: Back during the week of the funhouse! 8/14
WHERE: Espresso Pump
WHAT: Emma meets up with Neal, as promised.
STATUS:

( Tumbleweed was strange. )

I'm allowed to be sad every once in a while. I miss my pirate. There, I said it.

I daresay I almost missed the constant thrum of insanity weaving through our growing collective. Not enough to join in on it, however. Provided I can help it.

Let this be a lesson to many of you, that a funhouse is neither fun nor a house, least of all when placed within our close proximity.

HENRY MILLS & BAELFIRE:

Hey you two. You think you could come down to the house for a moment? Meet me in the living room?

HENRY MILLS:

Hey kiddo. So you know how weird things happen all the time around here? Looks like Baelfire's been aged up to just before he die quite a bit. He's also got the memories to boot, so he's more Neal than Baelfire right now.

He wants to see you. I thought I'd ask you to make sure that was okay with you.

EMMA & KILLIAN

There's been a slight [...] incident, as I'm sure you can see. Tell me how you want me to handle this, Emma.

I assumed walking straight through your front door without an announcement might be a bad decision.

[...]

I want to see Henry.

KATNISS EVERDEEN

Katniss.

SWAN-JONES HOUSEHOLD:

You guys up for the Tumbleweed Festival this year? I've gotta work the first half of it, but I'm free after.

If I weren't at all learned and (arguably) adaptable, the fact that this town has quite obviously grown in size in an illogical amount of time based on my absence, I would be terribly overwhelmed. I rather look forward to seeing a 'larger' Tumbleweed upon my release. That said, who among you remains that I previously was able to become acquainted with?
