Alright, alright, alright.

Who did it this time? Who killed the person they loved most just to screw up the lives of everyone else around them? Huh?

I’m sorry, what?

The Dark Curse. People ripping apart families and screwing over everyone that's ever slighted them (or not) because they're just not happy enough or some miserable excuse.

I thought it had been broken, but.... then I would be home.

So, I’m pretty sure this is a different situation.

I wrote something up for new arrivals. I just need to update it. Give me a moment.

So instead of being cursed, I'm just.... fucked?

Can't honestly tell which I prefer.

We're all in the same boat? Fair warning, I kinda suck at being the welcome committee.

I don't know you or the world you came from, but since you're new, I thought I would try my best to give you a rundown of the situation. Please feel free to ask me any questions.

1. You've traveled to another dimension. Previously we were all stuck on a cruise ship with one another that travelled to other worlds. Now we're in a small city/town in Texas called Tumbleweed. The important thing to know is the situation can change with little warning but people tend to help one another out here.

2. There's maybe 300 of us, all in the same situation. Some of us have been here for over a year, I just arrived a few weeks two months ago. New people arrive regularly, but also disappear, too.

3. As for Tumbleweed, we're not all entirely clear what the financial situation is. You should have paperwork to get you started so you can find a job with the locals or ask around and find a job with the other displaced. The network is a good place to, well, network.

4. If you've arrived here, chances are good people you know may be already here. If not, chances are good they might start showing up. I don't know if that will be a comfort to you or not.

5. The chances are also good you might recognize people on the ship as fictional characters from movies or books. The two big ones people seem to universally know are Star Wars and Harry Potter. Try to be kind if you recognize anyone or know the material they were represented in. They are people, and even the ones that seem bad from the stories are actually pretty cool if you give them a chance.

6. That brings me to number six five. Chances are also high that, to someone else, you're a part of a story they're familiar with. It's incredibly uncomfortable, just know you aren't alone in that situation. We try to avoid watching or reading each others stories out of respect.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.

....so there's normal, everyday people here, as well as people like us?

Alright. Fair enough. Thanks for that... concise and well-written accounting of my current situation. I'm Jefferson.

Correct. The normal, every day people don't know about us. Even when monsters drop into the city, apparently. I think they're claiming there was a gas leak causing massive hallucinations?

I'm Julia. It's nice to meet you.

It's actually what they told you. People being ripped out of their own dimension into this one. I've been here for three years.

.....I thought that was 'we don't understand curses' lingo for someone being an overegotistical drama queen. Again.

So how do I get back to Grace home?

Not this time. You missed a bunch of monsters coming through portals yesterday.

We can't. I've been stuck here for years. I lucked out when Henry showed up, and now Neal and Regina from a whole other alternate universe are here. One where I die

I've tried fixing it. It doesn't work. Whatever it is is bigger than me.

To be fair, that covers a lot of ground. But at least you're not in denial anymore.

Ouch. I've defeated a lot of things bigger than me, thanks.

And no, I'm not. I haven't been for several years.

Hey, 'bigger than you' covers a lot of ground. You're not a very large woman. Though surprisingly strong for your size. Your mother, too. Must run in the family. If you're talking about a different kind of measurement, well, I don't know how to measure magic. In eights? Prestidigitors? Bibbidy bobbidy boos?

Glad I could help with that.

Technically that was all the author's fault.

Can't say I'm a fan of that author.

Hi, Henry.

He was a dick.

I'm sure Grace is okay. Maybe she'll show up too. Sometimes kids come after their parents.

Careful your mother doesn't catch you using that language.

...thank you, Henry. That's encouraging. I'm a bit worried about her.

I'm already grounded until I'm 30.

I don't think time moves on back there while you're here.

[info]hathasrules

30? that's a little Ever heard of time off for good behavior?

I'm very much hopeful that that is the case. I don't want her to think I've left her again.

You're a good kid, Henry. Thanks.

Except they want to keep me 10 forever so I doubt I'll get time off for that.

I've been here like 3 years and I doubt you've noticed I'm gone, so its probably right!

I still don't understand how these curses are ever cast when people have to do such horrible things.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeah.

Figured as they can be. Looks like my house came with me. Just not my kid. But seems like either she might, or she doesn't know I'm gone. So, I can live with this for a while.
