003; video - what aren't you saying?

[canfindrope]

Have you ever had someone know you, but not say how? {Red looks somewhat miffed, to say the least; her arms are crossed, the fingers tightly clenched. Those who know about the wolf might recognize a little of it in her stance.]

Jeferson keeps saying he read about me; something about little red riding hood... but I think he thinks we've met.

[Uh oh.] I think I know how.

But I don't think he thinks you'll believe him. He's used to people thinking he's mad. You might here, though.

[canfindrope]

[Red frowns.] What do you mean?

[love_slave]

Do you know about Queen Regina?

[canfindrope]

A little? [Small town; it's possible she's heard about the king getting married - but not much more; besides, she was still masquerading as a wonderful wife and mother until just a short while ago.]

[love_slave]

She will eventually curse you, and make you forget who you are. I don't know why. Apparently she does it to the entire kingdom. And you live as we do when the ship breaches- as someone else.

But only Jefferson remembers, and the person that can lift your curse either can't help yet or won't.

[canfindrope]

Wait... You mean I'm going to be under the same curse as Jefferson? [He hasn't even told her they're from the same world.]

[love_slave]

I'm sorry.

But one day, someone named Emma might be able to help with it.

[canfindrope]

Emma? Who's Emma? Maybe.... [Maybe she can find the woman.]

[love_slave]

A child born from true love between Snow White and Prince Charming. I think he's found her, but because she didn't grow up knowing your world, she has trouble believing.

[canfindrope]

Snow White? What's she have to do with this? [She had enough time to get Mary's real name before coming, thankfully.]

[sharpememory]

Dude, I hate to say it, but Jefferson says a lot of stuff. At first I thought he was just messing with me, but now I reckon he's just a few crayons short of a pack.

[canfindrope]

[She shakes her head, trying not to let her troubled frown show.] Apparently we're from the same world.

[sharpememory]

Uh huh. I'm not trying to be a downer here, but I think that Jefferson just fried his brain on pot or something and is a really confused dude. I mean, I've been on the barge for years, but I'm not gonna start assuming that people from home are gonna rock up just because I'm feeling homesick or whatever.

[canfindrope]

He didn't tell me; his warden did.

Something about Snow and... Regina?

[sharpememory]

Who is trustworthy or something? Wardens lie all the time. And like, everyone ever knows red riding hood. Girl goes to grandmother. Wolf is wearing grandmother's clothes and gloves. Creepy shit goes down.

I seriously think they're just messing with you're head. Brainwashing and that.

[canfindrope]

That's not what happened; Granny wasn't the wolf, I...


[She pauses.] What do you mean everyone knows about me? [See Red. See Red cloak. See she really is little red riding hood.]

[sharpememory]

I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about an old story. You haven't been drinking, have you?

[canfindrope]

Where did you here it?

[sharpememory]

Um, in every picture book ever? This is like, common knowledge.

[canfindrope]

[Give her a moment to go to the library, then.] And it's called Little Red Riding Hood?

[sharpememory]

Yeah, something like that.

[canfindrope]

I don't see it... [She's looking around.]

[love_slave]

Nothing, other than she falls in true love and has a daughter.

Her name is Mary?

[canfindrope]

...When? When does this happen?


ooc: Sorry, used the wrong account. >,>

[love_slave]

Before the curse.

Will I stop anything if I tell you this, or will it be self-fulfilling?
