exsilium | 01

I think I missed the hat. [ No she's not joking, and yes she knows that sounds... odd ] And when your wardrobe's destroyed you get [ ... ] somewhere else not on the map. [ Not on her map. She's seen the map, and even if it looks vaguely familiar she doesn't remember anywhere known as Exsilium. Granted she's never heard of Storybrooke before or Fairy Tale Land before going there ]

If this hadn't been explained I would think I hadn't gone anywhere, or that this was Cora's doing. [ She may still be thinking that. Explanation or not it's not all sunk in yet, and considering she's here alone - her mother would be a better fit for this than her, not that she wants her stuck there either - it doesn't sound like something she wants to believe ] Which wouldn't be good. [ Just pointing that out ]

So. Just going to go out on a limb here. Has anyone read Snow White? [ Just in case? And why Snow White, other than the obvious ] Or... Pinocchio? [ As much as a friendly face could be nice she's not sure she wants to hear from them ]

Never mind. [ She sounds a little defeated, and she can't blame herself ] It was just a thought. [ A very bad one. On a scale of 1-10? ]

Okay, going with better questions I guess I need to know about this, or at least what's not covered in Exsilium 101. [ Great read, could have done with a joke or two though ] What don't they tell you? [ She needs that fine print ] Or a tip for getting used to it. [ Not settling in, that's not happening. And now she's stopping ] I'd appreciate it.

That usually doesn't stop people from telling stories, but if you don't want to, that's fine too.

Maybe another time. [ Unlikely but it was more polite than no

And quick subject change (like a pro?) ] How long have you been here?

Almost two months.

Two months. How much have you figured out?

Figured out? Umm, I guess, well... a couple people here like us said they found a United Earth citizen carrying this drug, and they think the whole populace is being drugged to be kept compliant. I think the one guy said they interrogated an official a while back too, and got that info. Finding the drug and seeing how the people out there act was just confirmation.

That's the only bit of information I know about the United Earth that wasn't given to me directly by the Initiative.

Do you know what happened to the drug?

Um, no. I'm not sure if they handed it over to the Initiative or not. But the guys' names are Nathaniel and Duncan who found this stuff out, if you want to ask them.

I'll see what comes up.

How did you find this out? From them?

From Nathaniel, yeah. He told everybody when he and Duncan got back.

When was that? [ She might apologise later for the mass of questions ]

Earlier this month. Not quite two weeks ago, I think?

Recent. That's good. And thanks, for answering all of this.

No problem. I'm glad I could help.

[Better than sitting around doing nothing, at any rate.]
