No, Regina. Actually, Henry doesn't want to talk to you right now.

I, however, do.

Though I'm still entirely baffled on how a powerful magic-user such as yourself was taken by a vampire, I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. You were changed, you weren't acting like yourself (who isn't exactly someone I'm fond of anyway, but I digress), nothing you said could be taken at face value, and so on.

But my son, for whatever reason, still loves you. Still believes there's some good in you worth saving. He is the reason I don't release the hounds, so to speak. He has supported you and believed in you when the rest of us gave up on you a very long time ago.

And yet, after the vampire version of you (which I know you remember being because I actually do pay attention in my classes) was an absolute bitch to him, you let him find out you're alive and back to normal in the same way you did everyone else. Online, in a post about you drinking. Or, apparently, more. He has been scared and worried and I had to hope to hell that you'd be fine after all of this, when what I really kind of wanted to do was go stake you myself.

Now I'd like to believe that what the other you said to him was not what you truly feel. But I don't really know that I do. And you broke my son's heart. When you said it, and now. I think I've been pretty lenient with you, Regina. You ruined my life, you killed my boyfriend, you tore apart my entire kingdom. And I let it slide because it's what Henry wanted.

But you've hurt my son. And now I'm pissed. You can keep your distance. Because you won't be seeing him again.

What did I just watch?

[Katherine]
How're you holding up? Heard from him yet?

[Gershom]
You've worried quite a few of us in town, dear. If you are able to read this at least let us know you are all right.

This sounds so bad
The first decent thing I've done and now this
It's not like he's tiny how the hell did I
Has anyone seen or heard from Gershom? I'm pretty sure he snuck out on me. Just want to make sure he's okay. Even if none of you will believe tha
Oh for fuck's sake
Good fucking job, Katherine

[Regina]
I lost him. How the hell did I lose him? Is that a thing? Do people lose kids? I don't think this is a normal thing. Although, teenager. They like to pull insane stunts like this, right? Oh for fuck's sake, Regina, how did I lose him?!

I left today, to help a boy who just got here. We're staying at my house. Just wanted to let you know, in case you were wondering where I disappeared to.

[Gershom]
Are you settling in all right so far?

After a week of warm tropical temperatures it feels far colder than it is here. I'm still readjusting but know that I can't put off what the outcome was for much longer. While away I soul searched and thought about a lot of things in my life. As most of you know before I left the attempts to bind my magic had failed leaving me with two choices. Either use magic for good or not use it at all and ignore that I'm capable of using it. It wasn't an easy decision to make but one that I am confident is the right choice. The risk of going down the dark path I once travelled is too great so I've chosen to ignore that I'm capable of using magic. That's easier said than done but it is something I will work hard at everyday.

Not that I expect many of you to come by but there is a small bakery on the edge of town [Address Here] that I'm helping out at three days a week.

So tomorrow is the 14th. Or to be accurate, it will be within in the next hour or so. And that means, for me... birthday time!! I'll be 19. Just had a really good chicken dinner too. Might take a little trip to Hawaii. Or, maybe tomorrow night, go to the clubs here if anybody might want to tag along. Party is also a definite idea, maybe add some more Slytherin colors in this house for it And maybe a party as well.

ETA;
Party happening on the night of my birthday, at my house here [address], starting at 7pm. You'll know the house when you see it. Green and silver banners over the front door. There's going to be Slytherin cake too, plus a lot of other goodies I bought last night for this. Probably fireworks too. And feel free to bring any friends or relatives if you'd want to as well.

[OOC: We can pretend this was posted last night as was the plan. The pain of knocking my head against a bookcase made me forget things I intended to do]

Katherine and Gaia
The car service will be picking us up early Friday morning and will take us to the airport.

Henry
I wish that I
I want you to
I'm sorry, Henry, for everything. I cannot change what I've done. I will however prove to you and everyone how sorry I am and redeem myself. I'm going away for a few days and even though we haven't spoken to one another I wanted you to know.

I love you, Henry, and that will never change.

Snow
I'm leaving early in the morning. I've left instructions for you to be let into the house to check on Lys. With the way things are I didn't think asking for her to be housed with you all was wise.

Loki attempted to bind my magic a few days ago. I believed it would work, but it didn't. I now have a choice to make. I could use it for good as a few have suggested or ignore its presence. Neither choice is easy because all magic comes with a price. A price I have all ready paid so dearly. I'm going to take some time away before deciding. There are those who may believe I'm incapable of change but I am and I'm going to prove it. I just need time.

Loki
Thank you for being willing to try even if the outcome wasn't what we hoped for.

Katherine and Gaia
How would you two feel about going away for awhile? Somewhere tropical and secluded?

Edit: Guana Island Resort. I'm looking into everything we will need to make this happen.

Really? Because Wonderland wasn't enough, now I'm in Kansas?

how do you stop bullies from being bullies?

and how do you tell someone's dad they're being bullied?

I've had quite a lot of time to be lost in my own thoughts these past couple of days. Perhaps too much time. But I've made a decision. Everyone will believe what they want and I'm tired of trying to rationalize everything. I'm tired of trying to repair relationships that will never be repaired One accidental wish has hurt so many including myself. Apologizing has proven pointless and I'm at a point where I wonder if it even matters. Magic has never been a positive in my life and I very much doubt it could ever be. That being said I'm seeking out ways to be rid of it forever if its possible. I don't want any of you to try and convince me that it can be used for good because it can't. This magic has its way of leading me down a path I never want to travel again.

Loki, you said you may be able to bind it, and if that offer is still available I'd like to take it.

[Emma]
EmMiss I know that you've just given birth but your mother will listen to you. I want her to stay away until the issue with my magic is resolved. Tell her anything, I don't care what it is, just keep her away.

I'd like to talk to you when you have the time. I think I understand a little more as to why you're fretting so much about the magic now.

I'm not really sure what to do with this bauble... I don't exactly deserve it.

[Jason]
You any more up to talking today than you were the other night? Or would you rather just go for drinks and have a littlle fun instead?

[Regina]
Are you all right? You've seemed...off since yesterday. Did that bauble wish cause you issues?

No....this isn't I can't why did How could I have been so careless to make that wish...Is there a way to undo wishes made on these baubles?

My big sister is here. :) Now all we need is Jane and the Bennet party is complete!



[Peter P]

So...it occurs to me that while under the influence of this remarkably numbing thing called alcohol, I may have said some things I probably shouldn't have. And I'm sorry. But maybe honesty is the best way to go, I don't know. Just sorry it went like that.

Anyway. What I wanted to say is, I think you should give it a chance with Gwen. You guys may be broken up in her time, but I'm not dumb no matter what some people might. You didn't want to do it and she didn't want you to and she obviously still cares about you. I know if any guy liked me as much as you obviously like her, I'd be pretty pissed if I showed up in another dimension and found he was with someone except we're kinda not but he acted like he didn't want to be with me anymore.

[Robin]

You're not acting like yourself, Scruffy. I know you got pretty beat up, but you're kinda scaring me and I'm a little worried and not that I don't like having a super cute but off limits drinking buddy, but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be on the hard stuff and downing drinks at the same time. Just saying.

Spill, internet denizens of Lawrence, Kansas. How long has Lydia been like this?

And who or what is Peter?

This is going to be my first Christmas here. Last one was at home with my family. And some of my housemates would also come over to visit us too. Quite festive. Wish mine were h But with the house I have here, managed to put up some good holiday decorations, plus a few other stuff that made it look more familiar to home. With magic, very useful when it's just m Maybe added some Slytherin banners too, haha I have to admit, it looks nice.

So, then.. I decided that I will be hosting a party. It will be here [house address] on December 23rd, starting at 8pm until.. well, til morning or whenever. Gonna try to have some goodies and stuff supplied for it by then, but people can bring their own treats and snacks too if they want to pass around. Especially cookies. I really like the green sugar sprinkle ones. Maybe add a snake design if Anyone is welcome to attend, bring family and friends along too if you like.

The hallmark channel is playing holiday movies all day now. Would anyone care to join me? I don't want to be alone

How are you doing, dear?

Thank you, for saving Henry's life.
