[ For all that Emma tries not to brood, she missed space Christmas and news of Pan's curse has her feeling particularly sentimental. Reflective, even. And the prospect of losing her memories, losing her loved ones, only serves to remind her that sooner or later, they're all trying, in some capacity, to lose the people they've grown to care about aboard the Tranquility. ]

A friend of mine pointed out a while back that not everyone has a home to go back to at this point. Or one worse than what's here, whether that means they're dead or just some other kind of screwed.

[ Strangely, with Dean back now, she has to wonder if he'd say the same again. That staying on the ship, even as it is now, is better than the alternative for some. Getting a read on him is tougher now. It feels like she's missing pieces. ]

What about you? What's your best case scenario for whenever we figure out what the hell's going on here? Do you go home, forget all about it? Backtrack to Arima and set up shop?

[ Not sure if that's amusing or ruining his childhood. ]

Now you're going to tell me Grumpy was the cheerful one, right?

No, he's the town drunk. Don't be ridiculous.

[ Well, there's some faith restored. Maybe..... ]

Is that why home isn't all it's cracked up to be? Belligerent dwarves.

[ Because really, why wouldn't you want to go back to living in Disneyland. ]

[uncurse]

They're dwarves. They pretty much stick to drinking beer and mining; it's not particularly villainous behavior.

But Neverland was dangerous?

Let me guess, too many crocodiles.

[uncurse]

You're trying to be funny but you just sound clueless.

[ oh my god is this how she sounded when she confused ogres and giants. jesus take the wheel. ]
