in the mountain: There's a city waiting for you on the other side of the gate. It's quiet inside and you can tell that the city has seen better days. Now it's half empty and there are only few residents on the streets. They look familiar, don't they? In the middle of the plaza is a small pedestal and on top of that a dim crystal. It's not bright or impressive but clearly Important.

in the forest: Uhh trees?

That is foreign magic to us.

[ shakes head. ]

[ditched]

[ somewhere far away, rumpel is smiling. ]

[ladybirdbook]

[ i don't like the feel of this magic. ]

[foodporn]

You've been here this whole time? Trapped?

[oh no sympathy pinged]

[ARE WE GONNA TURN INTO THESE GUYS IF WE DON'T GET OUT]

[ladybirdbook]

It was our choice.

My great-uncle... he was the last one outside.

[ slowly looks at hook. ]

[cabineyes]

Wait...

The man in the inn? With the map?

[foodporn]

Is he the one I heard when I came here?

[or was that you guys]

[ladybirdbook]

His spell... it was left unfinished.

[ staring at them both. can tell hook was brought here earlier and bo only recently. ]

It seems that it's still in action, pulling outsiders into this world.

My powers cannot stop it.

[foodporn]

Wait, I thought you said that you aren't from here. Why would he use magic to bring more people here?

[RUDE?]

[cabineyes]

He wanted us to take back what was stolen from him... with the help of the map.

What is it? You must know.

[ what if it isn't a portal back home oh god. ]

[ladybirdbook]

[ shakes her head. why do you press her she's very tired. ]

No... I do not know. it's something very powerful. My great-uncle, he was special.

Many have attempted to take the treasure from him and... finally they succeeded. Only the map can lead you to it.

[foodporn]

Okay, don't push yourself.

[you look like you're about to collapse into dust. one question at a time. still she's concerned with the new information and at the prospect that maybe it's not a way home after all...she wants to get home as much as anyone else]

[cabineyes]

[ fuck that dusty old woman GIVE US ANSWERS. ]

No, don't stop. Why us? Why?

[ WHY ARE YOU STANDING IN THE WAY OF MY REVENGE ]

[ladybirdbook]

[ no... she doesn't know. shakes her head. ]

[cabineyes]

[ I'LL FLOWER YOU IN THE THROAT ]

[foodporn]

[pushes hook back with a hand at his chest. this is getting out of hand]

Back off.

[cabineyes]

She must know something! She's hiding it from us!

[ do i have to get violent on you too and we just met ]

[crotchbite]

[ i need to babysit you 24/7

grabs his shoulder and pulls him slightly ] Chill out, Killian.

[cabineyes]

She knows...!

[ :( no mama. ]

[ladybirdbook]

[foodporn]

Look. You scared her. Real nice.

[i bet you feel like a big man]

[takes muppet lady by her dusty old shoulders and leads away]

[ladybirdbook]

It's fine...

[ but she's pretty shaken. ]

[cabineyes]

[ god who cares. ]

[ SHE COULD TALK ABOUT THE MAP. ]

[crotchbite]

Hey, hold on. [ holds bo by the shoulders too but not before giving a Look to hook ] Just one more question before you leave, all right?
[ puoniene old buddy :) ]

About the crystal? [ shesawthemeyeitsheainthappywiththat ]

[cabineyes]

[ i can't ask questions but you can? how fair is that. ]
