[Directly after the events of this log she's ended up in the clinic, where she still currently resides and...Honestly she's a little bored out of her mind, beneath everything else.

But the fear has kept her awake, but it's more of a bone deep weariness that settles into her voice, and a listlessness she can't shake]

I think I've heard everything worth hearing about this place- Paradisa, right? The name almost suits it.

[If you like pretty, gilded cages, that is] I know I can't leave, I already had that garuantee. I only-

I'm looking for someone. What's the best way to find him? I don't think he'd find this book as amusing as I do.

[A pause, and because she can read the journal, a little more subdued than before] I'm sorry, about your losses.

And...My name is Snow. Thank you for the help.

[Snow. That name sounds...familiar. Give her a few minutes and she'll figure it out.]

The name does suit it. It's nice and wonderful unless you don't dig deeper or get caught up in what it does.

What's his name? If he's here, then someone must know him.

[atetheapple]

It's hard not to, when you know about the curse and- [A small beat] It's in the welcome speech.

He's Prince James. So far I haven't had any luck.

[chippedcup]

Prince James... [And she finally realizes why exactly this all sounds familiar.]

You're Princess Snow White...aren't you?

[atetheapple]

Yes, I am. Are you...Do you know of the Enchanted Forest?

[WHY IS THIS THE ONLY LANDMARK WITH A NAME]

[chippedcup]

Yes, yes I do. [She is from her world...] My name's Belle. I'm from a small city near the front line of the Ogre Wars. Near Avonlea?

[atetheapple]

Belle... [It sounds familiar, and it's...It might not be Charming, but it's wonderful to have someone from home. Wonderful and terrible at the same time.

Curses totally suck :[] I know of it. I am sorry we couldn't have met differently.

[chippedcup]

[She smiles.] Meeting here is better than never meeting at all.

I've been here for about three months now. [It actually seems longer to her.] It's nice to actually have someone around from our world.

[atetheapple]

That's certainly true.

...For three months? That can't be. [She's heard the whole thing from Steve, but...She thought that might have only been applicable to people from other worlds. Even if...She wasn't quite sure how this works.

Sup this is so the curse and not really the magical castle] I agree. Familiar is good to have, in such a strange place.

[chippedcup]

Yes, for three months. I arrived in the lobby after I walked out of a tavern. [She gives a wry laugh.] I was certainly not expecting that one.

[atetheapple]

No...I didn't either. Even with the curse.

But I was taken from my room. [There's a slight rustle of blanket, and she sighs] Just when I think I've got all the information, someone surprises me.

How did no one know you were missing?

[chippedcup]

[That's right, the curse. Henry told her about it.] The curse... Has it happened yet for you?

From what I understand, no time passes while you are here, and you lose all memory upon leaving and are returned to when it took you. That's, at least, what everybody assumes.
