It's only a few hour plane ride from England to Italy, but the team has a little time to settle in and get to know each other and/or ask questions of Zee in preparation for meeting with her dad.

And of course, when they arrive, she takes the lead, bringing them through the streets of Florence, Italy at night and leading them around the door of a sold out theater advertisement for the Amazing Zatara.

[uncease]

[Wherever Emma is going, Charming is just going to follow. Clearly she and Gold are fine to talk this guy into just about anything. He's not really sure how he feels about that, but he's glad that they're making some progress.]

[unhand]

[Hook's curious enough to follow as well. He wants to see how it all plays out.]

[amazingzatara]

[ those who are coming along are led a narrow door that opens into a dressing room that's far more extravagant inside than one would guess from the hall. zatara heads immediately for an old dusty trunk pushed up against the wall, handing his hat back to one of them for safe keeping as he moves to open the locks carefully. ]

When I left to save you from the curse, I made certain to take a certain heirloom with me, just in case you should get it into your head to use it to find your dear old dad. [ he lifts the lid, revealing a magician's trunk with neatly folded clothes, brightly colored scarves, and other tools of the trade. he lifts out some of the clothes and pulls out a small box. ] It should serve us purposes now, however, in locating Sindella.

[uncurse]

Clothes? Clothes are supposed to help us find your wife? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm just no seeing how a trip down magician memory lane is getting us anywhere.

[undealt]

[Gold leans over to just casually whisper and point. (Wis check 19)] I believe he means the box.

[uncurse]

[ allow emma to roll her eyes. ]

Yeah, 'cause that makes a lot more sense.

[amazingzatara]

[ he turns towards them and depresses a switch on the side, causing the lid to spring open. zatanna leads forward to see what sits inside. ] He's right. [ within is seated this compass.

:') ]

[unhand]

[Hook leans forward to get a better look.]

A compass. Well, I have always found those useful for navigational purposes. But how's it supposed to find a person?

[uncurse]

How was one supposed to get Mary-Margaret and I to the right world? [ her tone is quiet, muted sass, and she looks to zatara. ] Magic?

[amazingzatara]

Magic. [ he nods solemnly. they would also notice that the compass' needle stubbornly points east. ]

[uncease]

[Charming looks from one person to the next, then down to the compass.]

So it's tuned to find your wife. [That's how he's understanding it, at least.] Anything else we should know about it?

[amazingzatara]

Not specifically to my wife, no. This compass will point to whatever its bearer desires most in the world.

[uncurse]

[ suddenly that compass looks a lot more attractive. if it's tuned into whatever the bearer desires most, then it could help them find mary-margaret. maybe even emma's son. she could reunite her family, too, with something like that. she stares at it for a long moment. if they help zatanna reunite hers, maybe they'll let the knights have it. ]

Give it to Zatanna.

[ sry she doesn't trust you to have the desire to find your wife most of all bro but she knows zatanna's mother is the most important thing to her. ]

[cigam]

[ he doesn't argue the point, and zatanna's face clouds with emotion when he holds it out to her. she takes it gently, holding it in her palm and staring down at it. the needle dips once, twice, and then spins around slowly, in a lazy arc, before growing faster and faster, her breath quickening along with it.

finally, it stops abruptly, quivering as it point to the southwest. when she speaks, her voice is breathy with excitement. ] ... We're going to need some transportation.

[undealt]

[please god don't let it be a plane.

that is literally the only thing on gold's mind right now, except, "hey if i use that, will i FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M HUNTING FOR..."

but mostly "fuck planes."]

[uncurse]

In the city or out of it?

[amazingzatara]

[ zatara shakes his head ] It does not tell distances - merely direction. We'll have to follow it as far as it takes us - by foot, car, or boat.

[unhand]

[Hook hopes boat personally.] Then let's get started. We may or may not have a long journey ahead of us.

[cigam]

Then let's go. [ her eyes are still shining as she stares at the dial ] Let's go find my mom.

[ LOG COMING SOON ]
