I'm sure you've all noticed Claudia has been gone for awhile. Even though I feel this loss and it cuts right through my soul. She won't be able to throw hurtful words at you anymore. I cannot apologise enough for the way she has treated you.

Private to Emma
Though Claudia is gone I will still help you against Regina. I need something to do with my life

[Filtered to Prince Thomas]

You and Ella must join Snow and I for dinner soon. It has been far too long, my friend.

[Private to Charming]

Hey, I've been kind of avoiding this but I have something to tell you or a favor to ask. I don't even know which group this would fall under expect that Henry is making me ask. I promised him I would so here I am. Even though I can take care of myself and I don't need you to get hurt. Also while we are stuck in a nice place we should spend some time together cause I would like to get to know you and Snow both.

[Private to Bucky]

I've been meaning to ask how you're settling in? Did you get the chance to talk to your friend? Still weird how you look quite a bit like Jefferson.

As if it wasn't enough that Giuseppe was taken in the middle of the night now we're underwater. I am not amused

I think I just saw a ghost! At least I think it was a ghost. I've never heard of ghosts having tattoos before.

It didn't say anything. It just kind of hovered there and looked at me before disappearing but it was kind of cool to see!

My dear friends and fellow travelers, the past week has been a time of great commotion for many of us, and I think that it is time that we celebrate our love and our family - for of the many things in life, there are none more precious than those.

Monday night, Snow White and I are pleased to host in our cabin a small get together, for those of us from our world, and those others of you on the train who have known the gentle, yet profound touch of true love on your hearts.

Everyone (with a very few exceptions - you know who you are) is welcome to attend, but please let me know if you will be coming so that we may plan accordingly.

Locked to Prince Charming:

I saw that you have this peace pact with Regina. You do realize that she’s probably playing you for a fool? She’s figuring that you’ll be letting your guard down so she can come up something cause from the time I’ve been dealing with her along with my gut I have a feeling she’s handing you a load of shit on the whole pact.

Locked to Regina:

You really think we are a bunch of idiots, don’t you? That peace pact is a load of shit, I can smell it a mile away that’s how bad of an actress you are. You would think after all the plans you come up with that fail, you would move on to new things. Too bad I could never catch you enough to have anything stick, but I know you were behind most of the stuff that went on even if I couldn’t prove it. Guess you can’t teach an old dog new tricks since you just won’t quit. I don’t know what you’re planning yet, but I swear that you won’t succeed because I won’t let you. So if you plan on coming after the people I care about or know, you better be ready to deal with me and this time I’ll kick your ass without anyone stopping me or having to stop because I have more important things to do. You messed with the wrong family, sweetheart and I’ll be damned if I let anything happen to anyone on this train because you’re an evil bitch. I might be busy with other things such as figuring out how to get full custody of Henry while on a train but I’ll make time to deal with you. You’ve taken enough from me that I’m not losing anyone else.

Locked to the Huntsman:

Prince and Snow know who I am now. I don’t know if I can handle anymore what Regina has up her sleeve. I’m scared that I’ll fail and lose someone that I care about or lose them again. I know I said we would talk, but I’ve been busy and I’m sorry for that though I’m sure the baby is keeping you busy. I think I need to stay away until I know what Regina is planning. Has the baby made you go crazy yet?

What- what is this place?

I was at the cannery a moment ago, then there was purple smoke, and now I'm-

Oh, Gods.  Ashl- Cinderella?  Please, don't let me be taken from her again-

If anyone finds a large and old looking book of fairy tales, could you please let me know?

[Private to Snow White]

Have I...treated you poorly?

[Private to Emma Swan]

We need to talk.

[Private to Claudia Donovan]

I'm very aware that you don't like me, but could you keep your dislike between us? There is no reason to rant about how much you hate me to everyone you meet.

Where am I?

.......Am I dead? Was the curse broken?

If anyone has a baby that they do not want, could you tell me so?

I know little of children, but I know enough to understand that every child deserves love, and deserves to be wanted. No child should be cast aside like garbage. I know they are taking care of the unwanted children in the infirmary, but that seems such a cold and impersonal place for a baby.

Sadly, however, I can only take one.

[Private to Snow White]

In exchange for your prince keeping me alive back in that place I made a deal to sit down and speak with you. A deal I intend to keep if only to ensure he doesn't re-injure himself to force me to do so.

[Private to Prince Charming]

As per the deal I made with you, I informed Snow I would sit down for a civilized conversation.

[Private to Snow White]

My love, I have been formally discharged from the infirmary, but I am still very weak. I do not wish to trouble you, but if you are free could you possibly help me make my way back to the room?

How adorable! I love children and this one is no exception! He is quite a handful, though, but I believe I have managed to get the smell under control.

His name; however, left much to be desired! Jonathan Shadowhunter? Oh no, no. That just won't do! What sort of name is that anyway?

In any case, I am henceforth referring to him as Reginald Winthrop Upland III. It is a far more fitting name and it suits him quite well if I do say so myself.

You should see the adorable suit I've conjured up for him! He looks darling in powder blue!

A perfectly good sleep broken by the screeching cries of a newborn baby. If this is someone's idea of a joke, I am not amused. It's been 10 years since I've handled a child this small.

[Filtered away from Snow White]

Could someone look after Snow White for me, while I am in the infirmary? I know she is strong and brave, and capable of looking after herself, but I fear leaving her to sleep alone in our room while I am still in the infirmary. There is, you see, someone on this train who wishes for nothing more than her death.
