How much do you know about Peter Pan?

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Oh. Everything.

Mr. Gold? It's Dr. Brown.

I wanted to thank you for your assistance in my personal matter earlier this month. It was resolved satisfactorily for all parties...and just in time, too.

And now that I'm quite done feeling sorry for myself, I remember that I asked once if you wanted to meet on a Sunday. Would you like to see a film?

Voice

[cantwalkwithoutit]

It was no trouble at all, Doctor. And...yes. I don't see why not. That could be quite enjoyable.

Soooooo

I hear you're dating Doc Brown, huh?

[cantwalkwithoutit]

How did you get this number?

[ text ]

[assailed]

We need to have words, Dark One. Very specific ones.

[ text ]

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Best you get to the specific words first, then. If you know enough to call me that, then you may also have some idea exactly how often I hear this.

[4thdimensional]

...I think we have something to discuss. I believe I've made an error in judgment and caused some unnecessary friction, and I'm hoping we can resolve this peacefully.

[cantwalkwithoutit]

...I'm sorry, what?

[mathemagier]

Excuse me, Mr. Gold, but you seem to have cursed my fiance. While I'm already aware he's fully deserved it, I'd like to inquire for when the effects may wear off. Much as I can appreciate his newfound ability to think before he speaks, we're expecting to marry on Friday and he rather needs his voice for that.

voice;

[cantwalkwithoutit]

[ Wow, everybody here is so much more sensible than he's prepared to give them credit for. ]

He'll be fine by morning. I don't suppose you'll keep him in suspense about it though, will you?

Weird question but

i get that there's different kinds of magic from all over the place but is there any kind of special magic etiquette?

Text / Feb 4

[cantwalkwithoutit]

The only universal rule I've found with magic is that there is always a cost attached.

Always.

But depending upon your world and the sort of magic you're using, there can be...conventions.

Have you heard the news?

[cantwalkwithoutit]

I take it you mean some particular news.

voice

[4thdimensional]

It's Emmett. I thought you should be the first to know that I've landed a job in Heropa. I'm strongly considering moving there---they have housing for the professors on campus.

We'll no longer require porting for visits.

voice

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Well, a several-state commute for work doesn't really make much sense, does it?

Letter!

[baetiful]

[ Perhaps it's a bit old-fashioned, but the message arrives via mockingbird. Sealed closed by a wax mockingbird sigil, the letter is hand-written in careful cursive. ]

Dear, Mr. Gold -

I write to you on behalf of a project I am working on within my city. Construction has already begun on rebuilding a much larger library, but I wish for this to be more than simply a bigger structure. I hope to inspire education and the spread of knowledge to the natives of Maurtia Falls as well as provide an invaluable resource to new arrivals here. But more than that, I wish to use it to pay homage to the natives who lost their lives within Maurtia Falls due to imPort related tragedies. Their names will be honored within the library itself and donations will be set up to be made to the families.

For this project to succeed, I need your help. If you are able to donate anything at all to the cause, it would be most appreciated -- whether that is books, money, or simply your time.

I thank you for reading, and I do hope to hear back from you soon.

Sincerely,
Ambassador Petyr Baelish


[ OOC: You can feel free to just respond to this OOCly if he would donate anything or not! ]

[Package]

[ Petyr Baelish receives an answering note, along with a small parcel. ]

Do with this what you will.

[ The parcel contains two medium to large spools of what appears to be gold thread. ]

Dear, it's Emmett.

I realize that I probably shouldn't have seen it, but I've heard your recent message about the difficulties of my poor choices in friends and the unenviable position I've placed you in.

I'm sorry that the issue of the wedding of my somewhat abrasive friends is causing you this difficulty. You can absolutely decline the invitation. There isn't much that I can't handle on my own, though I'm grateful for your willingness.

Is there anything I can do to make things easier on you? I promise we'll be all right, whatever your decision.

[cantwalkwithoutit]

[ Seriously nothing stopped you guys from just leaving it alone. He calls back and as soon as he hears a 'hello' he just gets right to it. ]

I need you to stop putting yourself down. That's how you can help me.

You are not responsible for anything that is between myself and Dr. Geiszler.

Delivery

[mathemagier]

[A small, handwritten card arrives in the mail]

Dear Mr. Gold,

We're delighted you were able to join us for our wedding, and hope you enjoyed yourself. Thank you very much for your generous gift, it will do very well in assisting us with furnishing our new home.

With gratitude,

Hello, Mr. Gold? My name's Franklin Nelson, but most people just call me Foggy, I was referred to you by someone on the network when I asked after imPort law and how to establish myself here. I'm a lawyer back in New York, I just wanted to ask after your experience in getting a license to practice here.

Thanks. Yes, ma'am, I'll look into your claim in a moment—

[voice]

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Hello, Mr. Nelson. If you want all honesty, then or authorities have been purposefully vague about matters of law, at least where it regards our previous education and experience. I can tell you I did not go back to law school in this world. All I did was take the bar exam to obtain my license -- the next of which is in February.

I have no problem telling you that the reason I chose to do even this much, despite not caring a wit what this government thinks of my abilities, is because the imPort population needs better representation. They need people like them, dedicated to ensuring they get as fair a shake as they can in this place. Taking at least some step toward establishing yourself in this world, by its laws, is a step toward legitimacy and shows you're willing to play by the rules.

Don't trust them not to interfere with your work, otherwise.

[It's another call from Emmett. He sounds exhausted, and maybe a little raw, but he's trying to inject cheer into his voice.]

Hello, dear. I've decided to withdraw from the moon base project. It...wasn't really working, so you needn't worry about me gallivanting off into the cold and unforgiving darkness of space.

And I promise I'll finish unpacking and have the room in a livable state again by nightfall.

[cantwalkwithoutit]

[ Gold immediately puts away the paperwork he's been scratching his way through in the shop, because relieved or no, he knows when something is wrong. So he's calling him back ]

What's going on?

voice

[4thdimensional]

[There's a chorus of barking dogs over the phone. They seem quite distressed. Between them, a weak murmur from their human.]

...Gold? Have you felt...unusual lately?

voice

[cantwalkwithoutit]

[ Gold has been at the shop, where things have felt normal, but he hasn't tried to make anything new. ]

...Emmett?

[ He sounds far away. ]
