001 ♞ video ♞ open to both courts ♞ backdated to late afternoon on the 11th
[ The locket is in Jake's hand, fingers loosely curled around it. His other hand has a hand-rolled cigarette, while a small group of fairies seems to have settled on Jake's chest. Several of them are still faintly glowing red; one of the ones still glowing rather fiercely flicks a hot coal.
Jake immediately snuffs the coal out with the butt of his revolver. ]
What've I told you about that?
[ The fairies chitter, and the cowboy takes a drag off his cigarette before blowing the smoke in their faces. The red glow diminishes, at least one fairy fading back to its normal color entirely. It immediately shuffles away from the other Ainsel, pointing at Jake's locket. ]
Hm?
[ Turning his head, he seems to realize that the locket's recording. Oh. Well then. Raising an eye at the locket, as if daring anyone to comment on his actions, Jake places the cigarette back in his mouth and reaches up to adjust his hat. ]
Anyone else been hearing about treasure from these folk?

At least he made sure to punch holes in the lid]
An' you're really going to believe these thing? I mean, they ain't got much reason to lie, but I'm not one to go trusting the word of a fairy even if it's about treasure.
video
[ Several of the fairies are Jake's chest chitter angrily, shaking little fists -- whether it's at him not believing them or at Will's treatment of the other fairy is up in the air. ]
That one's going to be spittin' mad when it gets out of there.
video
[He sets the jar on a nightstand and starts to turn it slowly]
I'd be nicer if it didn't try taking my stuff. [There's a bit of frowning at the trapped fairy] Changed colour though, used to be red. Maybe it's dying.
video
[ He takes another drag of his cigarette. ]
Or goin' back to normal.
video
Normal? [shake] Huh, maybe I should let it out...
video
[ He's new, after all. ]
Some of 'em are mighty generous, after you help 'em.
video
[The thing doesn't seem too generous, but then again Will doesn't want to have the responsibility of taking care of the thing either. While he thinks on what to do he gives the new arrival his thoughts on those boons]
So you do a favor for your court, not sure if it's something they ask for or what. Last time we had to fight against a bunch of bloody man eating worms.
[His poor horse]
Anyway, you do the royals a favor and then they grant you an audience and you can ask for a boon. Bit of a reward for doing their dirty work.
Didn't ask for nothing myself because I know how this magic goes. Consequences. Magic always had consequences. Sure a favor might be nice, but maybe that cute little puppy you asked for turns out to be your mate all bewitched. Or some sorta Hellbeast. Or just bad luck. [He points to the locket to emphasize his words] Magic always has a price.
video
[ And gold is great, up until aliens come to take it. ]
Don't know much about magic myself, [ Jake says after a long pause, trying to let the words settle in. These boons do sound useful -- but like the kid says, more than likely full of consequences. ]
There a lot of it, where you're from?
video
Too much some might say. It ain't all bad, but enough that it's best to stay away from any that promises something too good, yeah. Comes in handy now and then. Be real handy right now if it worked right in this place.
[sigh]
Got things ta do back home. Promises to keep and yet no boon they offer will send you home.
video
[ magic how even ]
'course not. They want us to fight in this war.
video
[Will snorts a bit]
Wars. Funny how them in charge never do any of their own fighting, yeah?
video
[ He rolls his eyes. ]
video
video
[ beat. ]
The hell's cable?
Re: video
[Truth of it was, Will couldn't quite get it out of his mind]
Television. You ain't from one of those weird elf lands too are you?
video
[ But it would help.
The look on Jake's face is clear: he has no idea what television is, either. ]
No. New Mexico territory.
video
[The mention of 'territory' is interesting, but given Will has no idea on the history of Storybrook's world, he simply shrugs it off]
Just know that cable makes everything and everyone better.
video
[ That sounds like magic to him. Squint. ]
video
Lets not think about the fact that Will had zero idea what a television was until the Curse that sent him to Storybrook]
Only one of the best inventions of modern times. It's like, uh, theater. In a box. People can watch it from their own home whenever they want.
video
[ Jake makes a face. ]
Theater never sounded all that interesting.

[He is trying to be politically correct, or at least be friendly enough that yet another person in this world doesn't want to slap him]
