[pillager]

[ The face that appears in the locket doesn't look distressed at all. Unlike most of the new arrivals, he's actually quite accustomed to being whisked away to strange new realms. So rather than looking upset, Hook's face is calm. He's smiling sheepishly, even. ]

Well, this certainly the warmest welcome I've received in a new realm. Never had a feast held in my honor. I could have done without being dragged here by those nasty little imps, but I'll try not to hold it against our hosts for using such... unconventional methods.

[ In all of the kidnappings he's experienced (more than one, sadly enough), he's been subject to much worse abductions. He leads an interesting life. ]

I'd like to learn more about this shard that's supposedly embedded in all of us... Why hadn't we heard of such a thing before? Believe me, I'm quite familiar with magic.

[ Hook's eyebrows raise, and he reaches into his pocket to retrieve a small piece of paper. ]

Speaking of, I'd like to inquire about a few people-- perhaps you've ran into them, or heard a name in passing. They tend to leave quite an impression.

[ He begins to read off the paper. And yes, he had to write down the names so he wouldn't forget. ]

Rumplestiltskin, may also go by The Dark One. [ If there's any hope of getting out of this place, he'd know anything. ]

Snow White and Prince Charming, also known as Mary Margaret Blanchard and David Nolan. Belle. Regina Mills. [ He pauses, leaning forward and grinning a bit. ] The Evil Queen Regina, if you're into a more dramatic flair.

[ He looks back at the sheet. ]

There's more on the list, but I'll spare your ears. We're all weary, after all.

[ Oh but before he cuts off -- ]

Captain Killian Jones, by the way. Hook, if you prefer a more colorful moniker. A pleasure.

[lindir]

[At first, Lindir just looks down at the locket, unsure of what to say. While he's trying to project an air of dignified calm, there is obviously a touch of apprehension behind his eyes. He takes a breath before speaking.]

I am Lindir Lanthirion of Imladris, and I speak to you now seeking a way to return to the valley. There are duties I must attend to, and I did not expect my stay to be so long.

[Lindir pauses, furrowing his brows anxiously. He wondered now if perhaps the group journeying over the Sea had now left without him... Lord Elrond would not be pleased.]

If you know of a way I might leave this place, I would much like to hear of it... I fear I have made some grievous error.
