( believe it or not, using a magical device to communicate with others is a lot easier for Tink to wrap her head around than say, a cell phone. they were so small, and made such funny noises, and who knew what radiowaves were. they didn't sound good for you. no, she'd much rather have a magical locket.

she doesn't seem to falter with it much, either, a simple introduction being enough. )

Hello. I was told I could use this to communicate.

( Tink's accent is a bit of a twang, her voice sweet just like the delicate features of her face, but if you write her off as sweet and innocent, you're asking for trouble. )

My name is Tinker Bell. Does anyone here know of a place called 'Storybrooke'?

( Tink figures she's more or less alone, but it doesn't hurt to ask. )

There is something wrong with my magic. I've heard all sorts of claims as to why that might be, but I wanted to know if anyone else had this experience. And how I could restore it to the way it was. I still can manage a few spells but it's not right, and I want to know why. If I'm meant to help with this war, I'm not going to be as capable.

( that's a bit of bribery, really — give her magic back and she'll be a good little worker bee, honest! or, well, she is not a creature that wants to participate in war, yet she's willing to use her magic for the right reasons. she just needs it back first. she fought tooth and nail to get her wings back, she's not going to sit back and let someone strip them from her again.

still, she can't be wholly selfish. )

The faeries around here seem to be a bit self serving — that's not how faeries work in my world. I'm here to help anyone that needs it, if I can. I understand we are trying to ready ourselves... I can happily teach those that might like to know about survival skills and living off the land, and general first aide. Someone mentioned something about activating my shard, if I could trade one knowledge for the other we'd both leave a little wiser.

[It doesn't always make things better. He knows that. But at least he can understand that much and so while he shrugs there's still the sympathetic look as well.] Try telling them that. I don't think that'd go well for anybody. ...but I kinda agree with that, too. It's not just for their purposes though when it comes down to it. [He flaps a hand.] It gets complicated.

With everything that's happening around here though, I'd be surprised if you didn't find the answers. [A beat. Yeah. A year and a half later and he's still really bad about actually introducing himself.] I'm Hiro. If you can't find who or what you're looking for, I can probably help, too. [That is to say he's well-connected enough by now to know what he's doing and how to help everybody who's just now showing up.]

I'm sure it wouldn't. ( in fact she knows that speaking of unrest with a ruler rarely goes well. she knows from living so long under Pan's thumb. she was able to manage a convincing sense of complacency, yet that did not require her to agree with his actions. it was hard to condone them, when they were so often so truly horrible. )

Hiro. ( that makes her smile, a little. she thinks the name might have impressed Henry, even though she didn't get much of a chance to get to know him. ) It's nice to meet you, Hiro. And if I need any more information, I'll be sure to ask.

It's nice to meet you too. [Even if he's still having a bit of difficultly really wrapping his head around it. But hey, at least the response to his own name is somewhat positive.] Don't hesitate if you think of anything...and good luck.

[That's all he can do now, isn't it? He gives people tools and ideas, and then he sits back and waits. It's a solid strategy, but he does sincerely hope she'll find some answers.]
