[youthfulheart]

[One dark brown eye fills the screen. There are flecks of honey in that brown eye.]

I don't see anyone in there.

[She pulls the communicator away, brushing back a lock of her always difficult dirty-blonde hair. She's had a hard life and she's somewhere in her 30s.]

Well, that little white beast said that there were people I could talk to on this thing. And that my world was destroyed by the darkness. So how did I get here, huh? Why wasn't a wizard like Schmendrick spared? Or the Unicorn? They're both more powerful than I am and the Unicorn can fight the dark.

[More softly.] What's the point of being a wizard if you end up being the one needing to be saved? Damn that man. [Despite her angry words and tone, she's worried about him. He has become so dear to her.] And damn these demons for doing this.

It's possible they'll also be brought here, later on.

[The speaker has blue hair, and a slightly aloof expression despite the somewhat reassuring words. She hasn't been at her best with the heartless activity pulling on her own insecurities, and it's driving her back into her shell a little.]

[Video]

[youthfulheart]

Why later? Why not now? [Molly is unhappy, but when she continues, her voice is a little gentler.] And why do you have blue hair?

[Video]

[geniustheveil]

[With no real explanation to give for the first, she answers the second question instead, after a quick gesture to tug at a lock of it.]

My hair? I was born with it this color.

[Video]

[youthfulheart]

I've never met anyone born with blue hair before.

[Video]

[geniustheveil]

Come to think of it, I've only met a few. [... And come to think of it, most hadn't been from Earth.]

[intogold]

Wizards aren't always all they're cracked up to be. [Bit of a shrug and a grin.] No help for it.

[Still....] So then you're a new arrival too.

[Video]

[youthfulheart]

Is it normal for your family or are you special among them?

[youthfulheart]

He is. [She's seen him turn a unicorn to a woman to a unicorn, and more amazing things since.]

I am.

[intogold]

Well then... [Another bit of a smile.] Perhaps there's hope yet.

From one newly arrived to another then, welcome welcome.

[youthfulheart]

Perhaps. [She returns a touch of the smile.]

Welcome to you, too, then. I'm Molly Grue. You are...?

[intogold]

[He hops back from his communicator enough so that the video frames him well as he drops a low bow.] Rumpelstiltskin, at your service, deary.

It seems to be an anomaly. My parents are dark-haired and lighter-haired.

The white beasts are called moogles and the demons are called Heartless. As for you friends they might always turn up later.

[Video]

[youthfulheart]

How odd. Are there others here with such odd hair colors?

[youthfulheart]

[She drops him something of a curtsy in return.] Well, now, it seems wherever I go, I'm destined to meet men with strangely different names.

[youthfulheart]

I'd hope so. They have better ways of fighting against darkness and demons - call them Heartless if you like - than I do.

[geniustheveil]

[She's starting to wish she wore a hat...]

Well, yes, there are a lot of different ones, but..

Is that really a priority right now? [She sounds a bit fretful.]

[intogold]

Are you? Well that is quite a destiny! [A little sharp sound giggle.]

[video]

[obiwankenobi]

It hasn't been destroyed, precisely. Just lost.

As for everything else, the darkness seems to make no discrimination. Power or strength of heart have no weight on who is brought here and who isn't, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't look for your friends. They might still show up here.

[Video]

[youthfulheart]

What? I can't stop and wonder at something I've never seen before while I'm trapped in a place that I have no power to get out of?

[youthfulheart]

Well, between Cully, Schmendrick and now you, Rumpelstiltskin, it certainly seems that way.

Re: [Video]

[geniustheveil]

[Another time, she might even have agreed with that view. Usagi, she knows, certainly would - did. But right now...]

It's more important to consider how to fight the enemy here and how to return.

[video]

[youthfulheart]

I don't suppose you've seen them, then? A wizard in blue with blue eyes that look too old for his age and a unicorn?

[intogold]

That is quite the collection, though I find I prefer my name to the others. I'm rather fond of it.

[A little bit of a laugh.] But your name is lovely, deary.

[devotedtoritsuka]

You may not be able to fight the darkness [[Like she can't anyway.] But you must have a pretty strong heart to make it through.
