[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of this half of the month.

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt. ]

[ she shrugs. if she's not getting rid of him either way ... she sits back. ]

Tell me about Neverland.

[unhand]

[If there's one thing he loves talking about, its his adventures. Especially since she seems actually interested.]

Ah, there's a beautiful world. All the colors are brighter, somehow. It's the pixie dust, infusing everything.

[uncurse]

[ she is genuinely interested. she's always felt a connection with neverland - watching peter pan as a kid, feeling like a lost boy in her own way, wanting to escape there.

now, it mostly reminds her of neal, though, and what tallahassee hadn't been. ]

Is it really like the movie? All ... mermaids, and Indians?

[unhand]

There were mermaids and Indians, yes. I doubt they were much like your "movie," though. [If her stories of Jack and such were anything to go off.] Unless your movie depicted them as deadly enemies that'd kill you before you could so much as blink.

[uncurse]

Loose interpretation, I admit. What about the fairies?

[unhand]

Pixies. They don't like being called fairies. It's a politics thing.

[uncurse]

My mistake.

[ it's said dryly like she don't give a fuck. because she doesn't. ]

And Tinkerbell? She's one of them, right?

[unhand]

Oh, yeah. We've something of an alliance, her and me. Not someone you want to cross.

[uncurse]

[ emma is obviously not taking this warning seriously. ]

Yeah, I hear she's a real hair-puller.

[unhand]

[He looks up at her, dead serious.]

Heard about her scalp collection, have you?

[uncurse]

Her what?

[ her expression slackens in shock and horror and her pizza drops back to the plate. ]

[unhand]

She's something of a loose canon, even among the pixies.

[uncurse]

Little girls worship a maniac with a scalp collection?

[unhand]

[He shrugs.] Can think of worse role models.

[uncurse]

You've got something of a bias.

[unhand]

She never backs down from a challenge. I can admire that. Even in homicidal pixies.

[uncurse]

I can't help wondering if she defines challenge the same way you do.

[unhand]

What, do you define it differently?

[uncurse]

Your definition toes a line dangerously close to harassment.

[unhand]

[Hook looks about as innocent as a one handed pirate dripping with stolen jewelry can look.]

Do you want my stories or not?

[uncurse]

Fine. No more interruptions. Go ahead.

[unhand]

[He smirks and takes another bite of pizza, chewing and swallowing before he starts again.]

Tink's not so bad most of the time. The other pixies, though... [He trails off, shaking his head.] They're not like the Enchanted Forest fairies.

[uncurse]

What, so they're smaller or something? A good fairy's a good fairy, no matter what they call themselves. I've read the story. Pixie dust, flying, something about sailing a ship over London.

[unhand]

[He gives her an indulgent smile because that's about as cute as her version of the story of Jack and the beanstalk.]

They're not good fairies. They didn't like the Blue Fairy's rules. It's why they fled the realm.

[uncurse]

To Neverland. Where they ... what, exactly? What's so bad about them?
