First Tale: Not in Storybrooke, Maine anymore [Action/ AccidentVideo]

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry has found himself waking up on a very cold day in Luceti on the outskirts of the village. It takes him a bit to gather his bearings and to find his winter coat nearby him. Putting it on he sits there for a moment to look around. Yup, this wasn't home. Did he get here by magic? And if so, was this the Enchanted Forest?

Looking nearby he see's a journal with his name on it. Very strange. Why would a journal that he never had have his name? Someone must have brought him here.

Opening it up he begins flipping through the pages. It was looking to be some kind of guide. Maybe it had a map?

When it proves to becoming difficult to try and find a map in this journal, he begins to wander into the village, tightly holding his  jacket closed. He doesn't want to even think what bad guy put him in a raggy pair of pants. But he starts to call out for anyone around.]

Hello? Anyone here? Gram-pa are you here?

Luceti?

[He takes a moment to think. Nope...not in his Storybook.]

No, people don't have wings where I'm from.

[But Henry will go along with Smoker when he suggests to find a warmer place.]


Yeah, I took it with me. I thought it might help.

[He tilts his head a bit.]

You do this a lot, don't you?

[Snorts.] Not exactly, but I'm starting to get better at it. [He's usually pretty anti-social, and a lot of the New Feathers get dumped in places he can't get to easily.]

We get New Feather cycles about every other month, and I've been here about two and a half years. If you look in the back of your journal, you'll find the Guide. It was written by people who've been here even longer than me. They're usually the ones more on top of this thing. [If Henry would like, Smoker will bookmark Ye Olde Guide for him.]

[He'll just smile at that statement. But listens to what this man is saying about what's going on. Once he has the guide book marked he'll look over it.]

So, these Malnosso people put a curse on everyone and trapped them here?

[It's the best way he can really think of how this works.]

[justicereigns]

Something like that. I think the world technically brings people here, and the Malnosso put the barrier up to keep out the Third Party. Some of the shifts are caused by the Malnosso, but even on the outside, the world itself has some shifts.

Shifts are like curses basically. They mess everything up one way or another.

Re: [Action]

[theboywiththebook]

[It sounded confusing at first, but hearing that shifts were curses, it made more sense.]

Has anyone been able to figure out how to break the shifts then? If they work like curses there's always a way to break them.

Re: [Action]

[justicereigns]

They wear off after a week or so.

There are mass shifts that affect most of the village, and those don't usually last much more than a week or so, and then the localized shifts curse one person for a week or a month or so.

And if someone dies there's a side effect... those can get removed though.

The barrier can't be removed though, same with the wings. Those curses are pretty permanent. Especially since the wings are your life force, so protect them.

Re: [Action]

[theboywiththebook]

I've heard about the wings, I'll make sure to keep them covered.

[But, Henry's almost sure there's a way to break the barrier. After all, even the most strongest of curses could be broken. But, for now that could wait. There was just something else Henry needed to ask.]


Where do all the new people stay when they get here?
