[Well well, this little communicator was invaluable. Oh yes, people shared and shared and shared. And Rumpelstiltskin listened. He's only just arrived, but he that hasn't stopped him from paying attention, from learning how this little thing worked. Now though, he flips his own on to share a bit himself. The video shows his strange smiling face, but before he manages to speak, he laughs, all at once, a sudden explosion of a trilling little sound.] This is terribly interesting, isn't it?

Tell me, has anyone else noticed... [A little pause here and he wiggles his fingers.] familiar faces that aren't actually familiar here? I just don't know what to make of it. [This was a lie. He'd already decided to use it to his advantage. Oh there were ways to do this; he was sure of it. He was still working it through though.]

But since we're speaking of familiarity, let me introduce myself. [A toothy grin that was largely not as reassuring as he might have hoped.] My name is Rumpelstiltskin and I am... a purveyor of necessities and fondest desires and useful magics. If you find yourself in need of the unfindable, well, I humbly... [He ducks his head in a bit of a mock bow, undermined a bit by another laugh.] offer my services. Of course, bear in mind, all things, especially magical, have their price. One can't do business for nothing!

No; this is not my home. My home is with my comrades, and the Earth Kingdom.

I see I see. Well that must make it a difficult place to be.

It is the same for each of us here.

I'm sure that's so. [He's not necessarily in the same boat. He hasn't had a home for a long time.

He does miss a few things. A few important things.]

Then now that you are also here, what will you do?

Live. [An airy little laugh.] Learn about this place and find a niche for myself until the time comes to leave it.

If you leave it, you will return to the darkness and nothingness. Is that your wish?

[Another laugh at that.] Oh no, deary. You misunderstand me. When I leave this place I will have another destination in mind.

Your world has been lost like the others. There is nowhere within it to return to.

So they say, yet others may come from past and future.

Something doesn't quite add up. Things are not always as they seem.

Perhaps. Then you will also look for a way?

Oh of course. I like to know the ways in and out of a place on principal alone

Could it be you have something to escape from in your world? Your witch perhaps?

Hmm. I wonder! She was quite infuriating, but...

No, no. Nothing quite like that though. I am one being even the Queen did not control.

[He thinks of himself, and his fellow shitennou. Although she no longer has sway over his mind, he cannot act wholly against her without consequences. It is different, perhaps.]

I wish for that same freedom to act.

Freedom is a lovely thing. But then, we're all only so free. But at least we should be free to choose the binds we bear.

I choose to be bound to my master and no one else. [Endymion... Endymion is worth the price, the master who came to save them, who seemed to think their lives were so important even next to his own, when they'd been trained from the past to think of his above all.]

I've chosen my own as well, quite selectively.

[But well, he also ruined those bonds a long time ago.]

There is no point in serving something lesser.

[He, unlike his younger two comrades, had never fallen for the trap of Beryl's so-called love. He had stayed away and aloof from the start. Now, knowing how foul she is and how wrong that life was, he is glad for it.]

This is very true.

[A bit of a thoughtful pause here. This calls to mind mistakes that he has made, twice. It's not the sort of topic he tends to usually speak of. Ever. But in vagueness perhaps it's fine.]

If you wish me to understand, you must tell me more of it.

[He's quiet a moment at that.] There's little to understand, really.

I have something of a particular goal in mind, and this world or another, well, I will accomplish it. I'm the driven sort.

What is this goal?

To... correct a mistake that I made. [He hesitates a moment.] Deals are meant to be kept, after all. And there is only one I haven't. I mean to see that fixed.

There are also mistakes in my world which must be corrected, or they will become a danger to the master.

[That word and that concern seem to be on his lips an awful lot.]
