[ She'd been sent home. There'd been adventures, lots of not quite fun adventures, and apparently now she was back. Yeah, she's as confused as the rest of you. And apparently tiny. What a great welcome back? ]

I'd wonder what's changed except I can't see the ceiling. [ She can... if she squints. It's really far away now. Being 7 inches tall is not a blast, just saying ] So. I've slept through a port, been sent home and brought back at whim... I'd mention dying but I'm not planning on chancing it. [ Not with Jefferson about. Or the rest of you murderous crazies ]

At least we're not children this time. [ We including her. Seeing the aftermath was one thing. Although: (quietly) ] This is close enough.

How many people have been affected this time? [ She'll ask her other questions later ]

[ Admiral ]
My deal better still be in place. [ She needed it doubly now ]

[ Jefferson ]
[ ... No. She'll catch up with you later ]

[David crouches down so they're more at eye level, looking at her curiously. This is definitely on the more annoying side of things, as far as floods go.] Apparently. Are you sure you're alright?

[worsetodie]

No, it's not, and I never said that it was. Please tell me how everything you know has not ever been open to change, Miss Swan.

[strangehistorian]

Oh no, fortunately nothing like that.

[mattersverymuch]

It's not very realistic, though, is it?

[toldinthebook]

At least it's not a complete mess. Thanks, for filling me in. At least I feel more informed this time around.

voice

[toldinthebook]

There's a lot here that might not seem it. [ She's getting used to the fact that some of this could be real without the Barge but that's a little different ]

[toldinthebook]

Considering people have been here for years how quickly do you think it'll change?

[worsetodie]

Things were unchanged in Storybrooke for twenty-eight years. You tell me.

[toldinthebook]

Yeah, just a little suprised. [ She'd grateful for him crouching down too, or her neck would definitely have been hurting ] It's a nice welcome back.

[strangehistorian]

No problem!

[secretasshole]

I can imagine. [He offers her a hand to climb up on.] Is there anywhere in particular you'd like to go?

voice

[mattersverymuch]

It seems as though your sense of realism is limited.

[toldinthebook]

[ The idea of climbing onto his hand, of being transported such was definitely odd, but Emma knew that it was safer than needing to dodge any feet, plus he could open doors. After a moment she began her slow, careful stepping onto his hand, before sitting back down (it would be easier, anyway) ]

How about the cafeteria?

[secretasshole]

[It was certainly strange, and he was careful to make sure she was comfortable before standing up. A fall from this height when you were smaller than some dolls would certainly not be fun.]

Certainly. Although I'm afraid the utensils might be a bit difficult to use. [Was that a joke? That might have been a joke.]

voice

[toldinthebook]

Compared to what?

[toldinthebook]

[ So subtle that she doesn't notice it's a joke :c ] I guess I'll have to find something simple to eat. [ She refuses to be fed ]

Is there any point in wondering why only some people get affected?

voice

[mattersverymuch]

Compared to what's in front of your nose. For example, the obvious fact that realism is itself comparative.

voice

[toldinthebook]

Where's your point going?
