New Moon ☽ Text to All ☽ If you could only see

[whosafraidofme]

[Outside the station, having been given the rundown, keys to her new crib, and her fancy new phone, Ruby grumbles to herself that they didn't give her a jacket to go with it. She rolls down the sleeves of her overshirt then begins fiddling with the cell phone. Oh, hey. Texting! She totally knows how to do that. And will be faster than calling each

A flying carpet might have been more fun. They don't really tell us how it worked.

[whosafraidofme]

So we all just...woke up here? Has anyone gotten sick after getting here?

[Because there is always the possibility of puking your guts out because of magic travel. She's heard of it happening.]

[softenedbyme]

I think if they did it's because they were sick before? Or because of the flu.

[She's pretty sure that can happen.]

[whosafraidofme]

Oh. Okay. Thanks. So I got the short version. Place called Mandalus. Yadda yadda yadda. Is it true we were brought here to fight?

video

[Snow isn't half concerned with messing around, sending text messages. Instead, she gets the video function working.]

Red! [If the look of relief isn't obvious, the tone should be.] I'm so glad to see you. Well, not that you've been dragged here too, but... [She shakes her head, with a small laugh.]

I only just got here, so I can't really help.

[whosafraidofme]

text because she hasn't figured out the functions yet sob

Snow! Oh my god, Snow! Is this where you went, instead of back home? David's been so worried.

[Wait. Something temporarily more important.]

How did you get it to do that?

[alwaysfindshim]

No, this is... well, Emma and I went to... oh, it's a long story, but I'll explain later.

[She pauses for a moment.] How is he? And Henry?

[Blink.] Oh! Oh, it's in the menu. It took me a little while to figure it out. You choose "video".

[whosafraidofme]

a couple minutes and a switch to video later

[Her face appears onscreen and she is both relieved and worried.] They're alright. David and Henry are staying in your apartment for now. Regina's actually respecting Henry's wishes and not trying to force him to stay with her. David's taken over as sheriff until Emma gets back.

They miss you like crazy. We all have.

[The next text to Ruby's phone may be just a tad bit indecipherable.]

[And then Ruby freaks out and worries that she broke her phone.

I'm sorry. I didn't get that?

I...don't understand gibberish. I'm sorry. It looks like a bunch of symbols on my end.

Did you wiggle your nose? It could be a common error. One wrong wiggle and you go from trying to avoid a sneeze to ... here.

... has anyone said 'you're not in Kansas anymore'? Golden opportunity for a reference there. [ Even though she mentioned Maine and all. Shush. Still a good reference. ]

[whosafraidofme]

Nope. No wiggling. At least, not that I know of.

Not yet. You could be the first, if you wanted?

[threewordspls]

I wouldn't rule it out as a theory then. Uncertainty factor there.

Oh yea. First! [ ............ ] That was very youtube.

[whosafraidofme]

If I was brought here because I wiggled my nose, I'm afraid to find out where I'd go if I'd actually sneezed.

Yeah. You're the lucky winner. hehe

From what I was told, we've been abducted by aliens. But I only got here the other day.

[whosafraidofme]

At least I'm not the only new kid. Aliens, huh? Little green ones, or the big scary ones?

[likely_evil]

don't know. haven't seen any yet myself.

[whosafraidofme]

Strange. I didn't think aliens existed.

[Of course, she's a werewolf from a land of fairy tales that was cursed with the kingdom and sent to Maine...and now this place. So anything's possible, really.]
