I miss being a Princess.

I know I still am, but it is... different here.

[Filter: Aladdin]
I have found a job, jaan-e-mann.  It is a restaurant, one that serves food much like what we knew in Agrabah!  In truth, Abu found the place.  When he jumped from my shoulder and raced away from me, I thought at first that he was simply being mischievous, but he must have recognized the smells of freshly baked naan!

It is called La Tandoor.  I bought keema naan for myself- oh, it tasted of home so wonderful!  I brought chicken tikka masala and gulab jamun home for you, as well.  I couldn't help myself, I suppose.

In speaking with the owner, he asked if I knew the way to cook the dishes...  I was abashed to say that I did not, but he offered me a position there as a hostess.  As he explained, it is not a servant does not seem to be a difficult job.  I hope that it is something I can do well.

Before today, I have never had a job.  Being a princess, it was not expected of me, nor did I need the money.  I am grateful to the owner of La Tandoor for giving me a chance to change that.

Hello, my name is Aladdin. From what I understand, there are people here who have Genie-like powers?

If you do, I was wondering if I could ask a favor — you do not need to do it, but if you did I would be in your debt.

Since it seems as though we're stuck here until further notice, and Valentine's Day is coming up in a few days, I wanted to do something special for my wife, Jasmine. She misses home, and I think that's the hardest part about being here for her. Plus Rajah. So, I was hoping to make our apartment look more like our palace back home?

I have heard that the upcoming celebration of Valentine's Day is one to celebrate love.  I admit, I find myself somewhat confused.  Why do you need a specific day for such celebration?  Shouldn't you celebrate your love every day?

I am nearly out of money.  What is-  I think that I may need to find work soon.  How-

As the town's latest magic has gotten to Sheriff Swan, I'll be heading up the department until things pass.  We need all hands on deck, though, so please stay alert.

Since we have a sudden influx of rather young children, we're going to need some temporary foster parents.  Please understand that this is not a commitment to be taken lightly.  If you're interested, please let me know, and we will arrange for fosters as the need arises.

* OOC: Charming means this as people over 18, but use your best judgment, based on however your characters' canon ages people. :P

I'd be happy to watch over any little ones that need watching over.

I have a feeling I'm not going to enjoy this "Valentine's Day" without Jasmine.

The holiday you call Christmas is just over, and now everything has hearts all over it for February. And it's only a day? Back home some things we celebrated for a whole month. This world moves so fast. I wish Genie were here

My father's here.

My father who died when I was a baby.

I don't know how to handle this.

Genie? Are you here?

This device is amazing. Reminds me of a brick.


If anyone sees a monkey wearing a coat please don't be alarmed, his name is Abu and he's my friend. My deepest apologies for anything he may steal, I promise you it will be returned once I find him. My name is Aladdin, you can contact me on this brick device.

[ooc: feel free to say Abu has stolen numerous shiny things from your characters]
