1st Tale | Video

[truestheart]

 [The feed switches on to a boy, supposedly around the age of twelve or thirteen. His face is a sickly grey color to it and very clammy. If one were to look closely he was trying to win a losing battle from shaking too much on camera. ]

Hey, my name's Henry. I-I need some help; It's about my family. [He takes a pause to hang his head amount, obscuring his face from view. God, did he feel naecous but he was trying best not to throw up right then and there. Nobody needed to see that.]

I know why I'm here that lady told me everything and not being able to go home. But I just need to send a message. Just to tell my family I'm okay and I'm safe. We've...we've kinda just went through some trouble and me vanishing might cause a lot of them to worry. I mean, it can't be hard to send just a message home, right?

[He takes another pause with a sharp in take of breath.]

If you could let me know soon that'd be great.

I don't think anyone has told me if there was a way, but I can look around and see.

Video

[truestheart]

Yeah, that'd-that'd be great. I'd look around too but I think I need a bit...

[He's pretty sure falling through magic portals didn't cause intense nausea but apparently whatever brought him here had.]

[liberee]

Henry....? You wouldn't happen to be the boy Regina was looking for? I'm Elsa, her room mate here, in Freya. I can certainly let her know you are all right, assuming you are her son she told me about.

[And here she bites her lip.]

Unfortunately, as far as I am aware we cannot communicate with others back home not currently in Asgard though.

[truestheart]

Regina? Wait, you know my mom? My mom's HERE?

[That couldn't be right...last he saw her was back home. Unless she got here as soon as he did but that didn't seem to make sense either. But, to be certain...]

I could be. Does she have a scar on her lip? Black hair? Her last name is Mills?

[But, it's disheartening to hear when this woman tells him about the inability to communicate across realms currently.]

Guess I'll just need to look for one as soon as possible.

[Video]

[grudgebreaker]

I don't think there's any way to contact other people from our worlds, but... are you okay? You look... a little unwell....

[ Which seems to be a trend with the new arrivals. Then again... Henry also seems to be worried about his family, so... ]

[Video]

[truestheart]

I'll be fine I think...I'm not sure where it came from. Maybe it had something to do with getting here.

[Because he wasn't feeling this sick before.]

[Video]

[5thchild]

It's not possible, I'm sorry.

[Video]

[truestheart]

Nothing's impossible. No one's-no one's probably figured it out yet.

[The truest believer isn't about to lose heart yet.]

[brainsqueeze]

If anyone could do it the gods would be the most likely.

[ She might have to consider trying to get a message out herself ]

Did you just arrive?

[ Why children? ]

[truestheart]

So all I have to do is talk to the gods? Is it easy to get a hold of them?

[Because he'll walk there right now...as soon as the room stops spinning.]
I did, yeah.

[Video]

[in_loveless_memory]

Henry? [He recognizes the boy from Regina's picture of him.] Ah, yeah, your mom his here, actually. Regina-san will be really happy to see you.

And... actually it's impossible to send a message to your home world. There's... no contact with home, although the gods bring things from home sometimes.

[Video]

[truestheart]

Yeah, I've heard. Her roommate Elsa said so too.

[But, continuing to be told that it's impossible is doing nothing to discourage him. There always was away, especially with his family.]

If they can bring things I'm sure they can send them too.

[bestestfurrend]

I don't know if we can do that, Henry. I'm sorry. But we'll look really hard for a way, okay?

Re: video;

[truestheart]

There's always a way no doubt about it. Thanks though.

[However, there is one thing he needs to ask.]

So, um, what exactly are you? I mean, you don't really look like a dwarf or a fairy.

[alionsheart]

[ Despite wanting to know if Henry and Roland are safe, this is not the way Robin hoped to secure that information. This place is at war, and it's no place for a child to be, though he reminds himself that Henry's quite unlike any other child.

And between himself and Regina, they'll keep Henry safe. ]

...Henry.

[truestheart]

[For a brief moment, Henry questions if he is in fact, hallucinating due to portal sickness.

But, it doesn't take him too long to think that's probably stupid and that he is in fact looking at his mom's boyfriend.]

Robin Hood? You're here too?

[That could only spell not good for Roland at home.]

voice;

[runningstart]

[SIGH.] Yeah, I hear you dude. My folks are probably tearing things up back home.

Far as I know we're incommunicado, though. Least until we figure out how to stick it to the man.

Video; you get two thumbs up for playing YJ Wally.

[truestheart]

Yeah, my mom's probably losing it and my grandparents are probably not handling it well either.

[The boy can't help but quirk a brow at the 'sticking it to the man' bit.]

You mean the gods? I can't really blame them for taking us from home. I'd have liked a phone call at least, but all these worlds are in danger, so you know, we have to do something.

[Video]

[eyesofwonder]

[More children. Why do the Gods continue to think it's a good idea to drag more children into this war? Pushing that thought aside though-]

Hello young Henry. Unfortunately, is not possible for Gods to send messages back home - for now at very least.

But! Do not worry child. Your family will be safe in meantime. Have not seen it for myself but others, like us, have. We are returned to same point in time as when Gods have summoned us.

[Video]; omg A North. You're amazing

[truestheart]

[Give him a second. He's a little preoccupied looking at your face.

He gives a very focused expression, the one that says 'I've seen you somewhere before but at the same time not exactly.' He just can't put his finger on it. But, he realizes staring too long will probably look rude.

The explanation is a bit disheartening to hear but he wouldn't lose complete faith yet. But, for the moment it'd look like he'd be stuck. ]


I know they're safe, but it's not about that. They're going to worry and I can't blame them if they do.

[This is like the billionth magical kidnapping he's endured.]

But, if we get sent back at the same moment I guess it's not too bad.

video;

[interns]

There's no way to get in touch with anyone that's back in your home world, unfortunately. But, this place sort of messes with time, somehow. While you're here, time stops back there. Or at least, once you get sent back, you pick up right where you left off with no gaps in time, so... It's kind of like you were never gone. Your family won't know that you're missing.

Or at least, that's what I've been told. And people said they were sent home and brought back, and it was if they were never gone. So.

[ she shrugs, gives him an apologetic smile ]

It's really weird, but it's the best answer I have.

video;

[truestheart]

And you're sure it won't mess anything up back home? I mean, we're changing time that way if that's the case, right?

[Ugh this time travel stuff is giving him a massive headache, or maybe that's the sickness.]

It's okay. I get it sort of.

( video )

[disheartening]

Henry.

[ there are two things that become immediately clear: 1. regina must move out of freya if her son is in a different god house because she would never let him live on his own in a house full of strangers. 2. she is going to seriously beat up half of the people who she asked to be on the look out for her son. ]

Henry - where are you? I'm on my way to you.

( video )

[truestheart]

Mom?

[People said that Regina was here in Asgard, in this city, but having seen her finally is a bit of a shock. Part of him hoped it wasn't true, if only so she'd be safe with everyone else in Storybrooke away from evil giants. But, the other is glad that he won't be here alone.]

Uh, S-Sigyn, I think? The one with the healing and plant powers.

Video

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Though Asgard remains toying with his memories, Bunny recognises that name and smiles.]

Henry. Always wondered if you'd ever show up. I'm sure your mother will be right pleased to have you with her again. She's been worried about you.

Video

[truestheart]

She's told you about me?
[It's not very surprising, considering it's his mom. But, okay, once the quick bought of dizziness subsides he see's the sight of a six foot rabbit. That's enough to get his mind going. It's not how he pictured it, but he's assuming it otherwise.]

So, wait does that mean you're the-?

[He doesn't want to assume or anything but come on, giant freaking rabbit.]

video

[greenblood]

I'm afraid I haven't encountered a method of contacting others outside of this network.

video

[truestheart]

There's always a way. If we haven't found it yet it doesn't mean there isn't one.
