I've known a nurse or two.

[ Hilariously enough her name is Claire as well. Though significantly different time periods. ]

I've grown quite fond of diner food in my time as well.

[nursetemple]

✔

I tend to think most people have known a nurse or two

[ Of course, it depends on what he means by 'known'. ]

I can't quite decide if this is an invitation?

[assailed]

Not in my time. Very few healers that are pretty females. Most are men and very old women. Imagine my excitement when I learned such lovely nurses existed.

[ Technically he knew her, but that was awkward and one time. ]

It very well could be. I'm sure they've got a diner here. I've yet to check, but I can't imagine why not.

[nursetemple]

what was 'your time', exactly?

[ Because she doesn't really want to talk about his excitement. Not just yet, anyway. Let's wait and see. ]

there is one, for sure. I might be considering marrying it, so I never have to leave it.

[assailed]

I couldn't say. My date keeping was very sparse in the Enchanted Forest.

[ It wasn't his thing. ]

And before you say the Enchanted Forest isn't real let me assure you it very much is.

[nursetemple]

the enchanted forest. like, in fairy tales?

[ ...What now. ]

I live in a world with superheroes.
but the enchanted forest does seem like a stretch. how did you end up here?

[assailed]

Aye. Like in the fairy tales. Not quite tales for myself. Imagine my surprise when I'm told there's a version of me with a perm and waxed mustache.

[ Okay. To be fair he didn't know it was a bad thing until Emma told him. Or rather her tone did. ]

Met that lot.

Same as you. I made a wish. One I needed to see filled.

[nursetemple]

[ A perm and a waxed mustache. The image it conjures up is immediate. Claire grew up on this stuff. ]

oh

you mean

Captain Hook, like in - in *Hook*?

[ Jesus Christ, and she thought she'd heard everything. ]

are you as bad as the stories make it sound where I'm from? Because I gotta tell you, if you are, I'm not sure I want to have breakfast with you.

[assailed]

I'm not certain. I was only told how I was portrayed. Apparently not a very flattering look.

No, love, I can assure you that I was never the villain of that little tale. Though I'm offended most would portray me such. Next to a man who refused to be an adult and decided the spend decades just kidnapping little children from their beds? With a ripped away shadow I might add.

Peter Pan is the man you should be afraid of. I simply got caught in his web of control in Neverland.

[nursetemple]

[ Well. Interesting. ]

Got to wonder what Peter Pan would say to this, but I guess there are two sides of every story and we've heard his a lot more.

I've never been very fond anyway, I find the idea of a manchild to be very problematic. I'm all for taking responsibility.

[assailed]

Nothing you'd want to hear. He was a vile man that wanted to only cause harm to those around him. He abandoned his own boy for Neverland.

Aye. You have. In many forms I'm told.

He was quite the manchild. That and crazed.

[nursetemple]

He had a kid? Now that's disturbing.


So. Are you enjoying Cadelle better than Neverland, then?

[assailed]

Rumpelstiltskin. Another vile man.

Aye. I can say it's far better. Though I was in Camelot before I arrived here. Definitely better than there.

[nursetemple]

Camelot - like the place with the knights? Arthur and Merlin? How did you end up there?

i'm prone to getting into spats where bullet wounds may be a thing. also fond of diner food. we should grab a burger and maybe leave the medical care to another time.

[assailed]

Aye. The one and only.

Though I wouldn't put much stock into Arthur. I hear many people do, but he's a lying fiend who manipulated his entire realm. Including the woman he loved.

Through magic.

[nursetemple]

✔

At least, it seems like you'd have to try very hard to get shot in Cadelle. What are the spats usually about that they end in bullet holes?

I guess you could tell me about it over this burger you mentioned.

[nursetemple]

I've read Arthurian legends. Seems like everyone was kind of manipulative over there. Doesn't Morgan trick him to get her pregnant? It's all pretty messed up, can't say it's a time I'd want to live in.

So you ended up in the modern world through magic too, I imagine?

[kelvins]

Not so much here, but home's not exactly puppies and rainbows.

Happy to give you the full rundown in person. You been to Dinah's yet?

[nursetemple]

Is that the diner? I've been for breakfast. Haven't had a burger there, though. I'm kind of a pancakes girl.

[assailed]

I wouldn't know. But I've met many who believe Arthur to be some sort of hero. Perhaps once upon a time he was, but that time has long since gone by.

Aye. I did. A portal. That's usually how one gets from one realm to another.

[kelvins]

yeah that'd be the place. pancakes are good too.

haven't had a thing there that i didn't like.

[nursetemple]

well then, I'm sure i'll see you there, then, and you can tell me your stories?

[nursetemple]

You know, I've never traveled to another world before, so I had no idea it was an 'usual' thing for some.
It's quite interesting that it would be something people are used to doing.

[assailed]

It's typically not. You need magic beans.

[ Or in the Mad Hatter's case you need a hat. ]

But I've done more than my fair share of traveling.
