Captain’s Log


I’d add a date, but I’ve no idea what world I’ve landed in, much less how the local time is measured. I know one thing, and one thing only: This isn’t Neverland. Not unless he’s grown more powerful by far since I was here last.

My ship is gone, as well as the rest of the rescue party. With luck, they’ve sailed on, though I fear for the success of their voyage without me to guide them. Not many have gone up against him and survived. I don’t care how much power the Queen and the Crocodile have. My knowledge and sailing abilities are indispensable if we’re to save Henry. They’ll need me.

I don’t recognize this land. I doubt it’s as pleasant as it appears. Magic always comes with a price, does it not? And a land such as this reeks with magic.

I’ll write more when I know more.

[ she gives his hand a long look of suspicion because so help her if he pulls her in after him. but paranoia doesn't suit her, and she's working on this whole trust thing, so she reaches out and grabs his hand to pull him up. ]

Don't start with me.

If I had to take a guess? [ she lets go of his hand quickly, ducking her head to not think about the fact that she took a chance and wasn't left on her ass for it. ] Still on your ship, with both of us.

This world's cursed - the same as Storybrooke, give or take. Time is frozen back home while we're here. We must have gone overboard somehow, wound up in the wrong place.

Beats me. Everyone seems to talk like it's somehow the castle itself, but that's ... [ and she feels like the silly one now as she drops the word that had been all too familiar for her in the past two years ] crazy.

That castle is a lot of people's home. We're not killing anything until we understand what's going on.

[ that just makes her roll her eyes. ]

You'll have it back when we know more. We need a plan, one that doesn't just involve going at the castle half-cocked and hoping it breaks the curse.

[ the look she gives him is hesitant, like she still isn't sure what to make of that. for some reason, she'd assumed his 'help' would end with the mission to save henry. this was another animal entirely, but yet here he was. her lips press together, and then she glances back at the castle to avoid looking at him. ]

Of everyone I've met here, Henry's been here the longest. He's a smart kid, he might have figured something out. We just have to hope he'll want to leave. [ because there's a good chance he won't - he's always wanted the fairytale thing, and this castle's got it without sacrificing modern convenience. ]

Henry ... has never had an easy time in Storybrooke. He never really felt right in that world. And, when he learned where we were really from, he ... I guess he got hopeful. That he'd be able to live that way, instead. This castle, it's like ... it's like one giant fairytale. Henry has people he cares about here, and it's everything he's wanted.

If he does want to go back, it's not for Storybrooke. It's for his family. And I think banking on him wanting to see Regina again is a pretty steep bet.

So he can what, go back to living in a world he doesn't feel like is his?

[ again, the words come out when she means to passively deflect. she gives a grim but placating smile. ]

We'll see.

But Henry does. He's from the past, before he was kidnapped. Ruby and August, too. They'd have to get back there and ... somehow, to their time.

Gee, how insightful. [ it's harsh, and she seems to realize it, because the abrasiveness in her expression fades away - which is about the closest to an apology she'll be giving to captain hook, thank you very much. ] Look, that's just ... that's what I'm talking about. There's a lot we don't know, that we need to figure out. So let's just cool our heels and figure out what we can learn, all right?

Last I checked, royalty didn't count for anything among pirates. I think it's time you let it go.
