Maddie didn't get a chance to finish his thought. The cat approached him, biting into his hand that hung down towards his side and began to tug towards a particular direction. "Ow! Could've just asked" He said as he rubbed the meat of his hand where the cats mouth had found its purchase. He turned to look towards Willow, answering her question. "I guess we start here." Maddie began to follow the cat, Willow taking the lead alongside Tinkerbell as they turned the corner into a strange alleyway and watched the cat vault over a wall and vanish.

Willow had no issue making her way over as Maddie sighed and looked up at the top of wall partition. "Here goes nothing I guess. Just need a little faith, trust, and…" Maddie placed his foot on Tinks hand, using it to help elevate him as his hands gripped the edge of the wall and he pulled himself up, sitting on the top. He scanned the area on the other side, searching for the mysterious cat, seeing as it was patiently waiting for them. Maddie braced his legs to either side of the wall, holding his hand down for Colby to grab so that he could help him up. "Here b-babe." He said, nerves wracking him as he tried out a cliché but usuable pet name.

Robin Hood was just as the stories portrayed him. Rose wondered how things worked in this world. To her knowledge, there weren't a lot of stories of Red Riding Hood, just the one. Were the actions of people here bleeding over into the world they had just left and becoming stories? Or were the stories that were written changing the reality here? Could some author think a person into being here? That was some weird metaphysical stuff Rose wasn't sure she wanted to think about. It was hard to tell though. Because some people fit the Disney story better. Or were like Tink and just didn't make any sense.

Rose snickered as Cassi asked Robin Hood how good he really was at shooting an arrow. It was ever the competition between the pair of them so this was funny. Though now Rose would tease Cassi that she had a genetic advantage so Rose was clearly better by the work she had put into it rather than having her dad be Robin Hood.

It was good to have a tour of the place though. She had an idea of how well built the place was from the one-room they had been held in while waiting. But seeing the rest helped her too.

Colby was surprised when the cat essentially ignored him and bit Maddie, half starting to drag him off like he was some wayward lost kid. Colby snorted at the thought, they kind of were wayward children. "What were you going to say? That I shouldn't mess with strange animals or something?" Colby grinned and took both Tink and Maddie's help to get up on the wall.

"What do you not normally follow random cats?" He asked Willow. It wouldn't be the first time he had followed a cat. The last time he had found out that she was a mommy cat and had rescued the lot of them. He had rehomed all the kittens and got the mom cat fixed and released. He wondered if there was a TNR program in this world. He slid off the wall and fell fast first. "Ouch." He stood up and dusted himself off taking notice that he had a few scapes and bruises now. He looked to the purple cat expectantly.

Megan tilted her head, hearing the sound of ticking. A crocodile's head bobbed above the waves, moving along... after the pirates? Before suddenly, the crocodile disappeared beneath the water again. Megan's eyes were dancing with amusement - it reminded her of trips to the zoo as a child. She had always loved the more fierce and deadly animals, rather than the cute and harmless ones. Gretel told them that they shouldn't interfere, which Megan had to admit was probably the wise decision, even if she couldn't help but be slightly fascinated with the pirates.

She wasn't flattered by the Captain's greeting - Captain Hook of all people. She wasn't interested in men. She was more interested in what sort of healing process he had gone through with his hook, since she figured modern medicine was hardly a thing here. He was probably lucky to have not died of an infection. "Either that or someone's Halloween costume is ready," Megan said to Sierra.

"Well you got any better ideas?" Tinker said towards Willow as she managed to pull herself up and over the wall, and landing gracefully onto the ground. She looked towards the others seeing Colby hitting the ground and landing on his ass was a bit funny and laughed slightly towards him and offered her hand to help him back up. Then she turned her head to see where the cat was, once everyone was up and over the cat backed up slightly and then jumped forward, there was a small purple flash of light as the cat jumped into the wall itself. Tinker walked over to see where the cat disappeared and looked looked around before seeing a small window on the very bottom of the wall seeing that the cat was sitting in a basement and looking back at them expectantly once more before walking off deeper into the building itself.

"I'm pretty sure that they'd win a lot of costume contests back home with their costume." Sierra said with a slight laugh as she watched the pirates were finishing unloading their supplies and were making their way into town again. She wasn't sure why but she wanted to see what was there and wanted to see what they were smuggling as Sierra started to make her way towards the nearest crates. When she turned a bend she noticed there were several mermaids in cages in really bad conditions by the looks of it.

She wanted to help as she started to look around, and maybe they could give them a lead on where to go from here or any kind of information about her parents. "Hey, we really shouldn't get involved with them." Hansel said as he managed to catch up to her again seeing what Hook's men had inside some of the cages. "Yeah, well we can't just leave them in there like this at all." Sierra said looking at him being held captive like that and used for who knows what was the worse fate to her in her own opinion.

"Well i'm the best archer in the land and best one in this little group." Robin Hood said towards his daughter and smiled towards her, as Layla looked and nodded towards her sister as she pointed out towards the archery range, as Red spoke up. "Why not have a competetion later after your mission or something then." Red suggestion as Layla smiled she did agree that would be entertaining to see, though she was a whole lot better with throwing knives than archery really.

"We could do that if you want." Robin Hood said towards his daughters and smiled some. "I'd be down but after the mission would be better though." Layla said agreeing to what Red had suggested, as the sound of a bell went off, and the men were starting to head over and get some food. "Dinner is ready. If the lot of you are hungry right now anyway." Robin said looking towards the all.

She rolled her eyes ever so slightly when Merlin spoke to her about potentially staying behind and asking her mother questions. Honestly, what sort of questions would she possibly have for her at all? Sure, they were blood related and all, but that didn't really mean anything to her. Honestly, Rosalia wondered why everyone else seemed to be all too happy to run into them. From what she gathered, most of them seemed to have had decent lives back in the real world, yet they seemed perfectly fine to throw that all away rather quickly.

"Staying here would probably be preferable to me," she commented with a shrug, still keeping her voice sort of quiet, but made a bit of a face when he commented about talking to her mother more specifically, "Really? I don't have any questions for her... And probably never will," Rosalia added. Currently, she had nothing to really say to her mother, at least at the moment. There was some talk or whatever with regards to food or something, but she wasn't really hungry currently and didn't really feel like anything.

"Well that was a little weird," he muttered under his breath after seeing the captain of the pirate crew walk by. Of course, the hook the guy had kind of was a dead giveaway as to who he was. Also the crocodile was beyond strange, and a ticking noise, for a crocodile? Yeah, that had to be Captain Hook, no one else could easily tick off all of those check boxes in trying to identify someone as a fairy tale or story character. He kind of was a well known figure, and kind of the first sort of character in old fairy tales and stories that would pop up when pirates were mentioned.

He let out a bit of a sigh when Sierra more or less started taking off and heading straight for the crates and all that the pirates were messing with. Oh great, she literally had been told that they shouldn't mess with the pirates and was heading off to go do something. This likely wasn't going to end well. "...Think we should follow after them?" he asked his sister, referring to following after Sierra and Hansel who had chased after her. This likely if he had to guess was not going to end well.

Rose perked up at the idea of a competition. She knew she was going to be outclassed, but that didn't make it any less fun. She and Cassi had been rivals for years so they were used to losing to each other on and off. They probably had equal amounts of wins and losses against each other if someone ever cared to sit down and count them.

First, food. She was hungry. She followed over to the mess hall area and watched gathering her bearings before getting her own food and finding a table that they could all sit at. "You know Layla, you can throw knives in the competition too. It won't be like the ones back home where there are rules saying it is an archery competition only." She smiled.

"Thanks." Colby said, he was brushing off the fall. "I didn't know cats could phase through walls here." He said looking at the spot where the cat had gone in a flash of purple light. Silky jumped back on his shoulder having evacuated it when he fell. She wrapped herself around his shoulder like a scarf and Colby was glad he didn't have Jackson with him too at the moment, the pair of them would be struggling to both keep on his shoulder in that situation.

He tried the window that Tink had found, it was locked. "Tink, do you mind?" He asked her quietly. She was able to unlock it with her magic. He really hoped that the city didn't have some sort of magic detection system. He should have asked more questions. With the window unlocked he was able to open it and climb through. He waited to help the others through.

Robin was pretty upfront with his skill and it didn’t upset Cassiopeia. On the contrary, she had a wide grin on her face and looked to Layla with much excitement. ”Oh, we are definitely having a competition,” she agreed. Cassi was a bit disappointed it would have to wait until after the mission but she supposed that would give her some time to practice. She wanted to brush up on a few things before the ambush anyways.
The dinner bell rang and Cassiopeia’s stomach growled before she even knew what the bell meant. Cassi held her stomach, looking at her father and nodded.
”Starved,” she confessed and turned her attention to the supper tent. Cassiopeia listened to Rose tell Layla she could use her knives. ”I supposed but you should fire an arrow or two as well.”

Willow sighed, rolling her eyes a little when Tinker Bell asked if she had a better idea. Willow had shook her head at Colby when he inquired about her spare time with cats. Willow wasn’t a huge cat person and spent most of her time with her husky running through the trails around her home. They were so far from Kansas now.
The group moved forward once they were all on the other side. She had winced a little seeing Colby fall and sympathized with him. The cat led them to a building where it promptly disappeared. Willow blinked in disbelief, spinning around in a couple circles before Tinker noted a window. Willow looked close and huffed.
”Of course.” The cat seemed to look at them all before continuing on into the building without them. Willow examined the building, trying to determine what the place was that they were about to break into. Willow looked back when she heard the window open and saw Colby go in first. She sighed and knelt down to crawl through herself. She managed okay and dusted herself off, looking around the room that they were in and the direction the cat went.
[color=#F08080}”What do you suppose this place is?”[/color] she asked, whispering.

Maddie winced as he watched Colby fall down on his ass. Making him hesitant to try for himself. He wriggled in his seat atop the half wall for a moment before finally exhaling and shuffling off the top. He landed much like he'd seen before, rolling just at the end of it to help from hurting his legs or back. "Aren't cats supposed to land on their feet?" Maddie teased as he jabbed Colby on the side. He watched as the mysterious cat phased through the wall above a small basement window. "Woah. Illusory wall."

Maddie went towards the wall behind Colby. Seeing him try the window, his shoulders slumped in disappointment as he realized it wasn't a magical wall but just another magical cat. He blew a tuft of hair out of his eyes, as he waited for Tink to unlock the window. His eyes widened in surprise as she used magic after having warned them not to. "Might wanna learn how to pick a lock, to circumvent this whole magic thing." He noted towards himself. Looking around before finally sliding under the window and into the new room. All he could see was the cat, no one else was around. "This...feels off."

Megan actually disagreed with Sierra's assertion about winning costume contests. She was an insomniac and spent a lot of time on the internet late at night, and she had read so many stories along the lines of 'RDJ loses Tony Stark costume contest' and whatnot. She didn't have a chance to say as much though, as Sierra decided to start wandering off in the direction of the crates. Megan sighed ever so slightly. "Yeah, might as well," she replied to her brother, before heading off in that direction. Sierra seemed to have a really pure heart and want to save everyone, but it was probably just some illicit drugs and they needed to keep a low profile and --

Megan stopped in her tracks once she caught up with Hansel and Sierra. There were people in cages. "We're not leaving them like this," Megan said. "Either we bust them out of these cages or we see how much money is backing our parents' names to buy them. I can overlook drugs, but this? This is wrong. Those pirates deserve to burn for this."

"I dunno really." Tinker said towards Willow as she looked down towards the cat as it walked up towards Colby and rubbed up against his leg and meowed again. The basement appeared to look like it was some place for storage which had anything from clothing, to weapons, rubs and fancy looking china as well it looked like it was a store of some kind. Tinker walked over to inspect some rubs that were draped over a few crates. The mysterious cat looked up at Colby and meowed towards him, before jumping on top of a few boxes and through the bars of the railing leading towards the stairs, when a door opened.

"Well where did you wonder off to?" A girl's voice asked as she picked up the cat and started to head down the stairs, seeing a group of strangers in the basement she quickly reached over and grabbed a sword off of a rack with a price tag dangling off of the pommel of the sword, the girl appeared to be around fifteen years old or so. "Who are you all and why are you down here?" She demanded glaring at them all as Tinker held up her hands in a calm way. "We are just looking for someone."

"Thank you." Sierra said as she looked towards Megan who actually agreed with her she wanted to try and save these people, and she hoped that these were her people as well who could possibly give them some more to go on around here. Hansel sighed as he looked towards his sister as she came up towards them, she had to agree that they couldn't just leave them here to their fate. Whatever Hook had in store for them probably wasn't good at all either and gave her brother a look as he sighed. "Alright fine, i'll keep watch if you guys want to try and get them all free."

Sierra nodded as she took a moment and started to look around before finding a crowbar of sorts laying on top of a nearby crate and quickly grabbed it. She wished that she hadn't given away her pocket knife it could have been really useful for this as she started to try and jam one end of it through the padlock on the cage to pry it open.

Merlin listened to Rosalia and nodded towards her he was fine if she wanted to stay behind that would stay behind to and make sure that things were alright here as well, and make sure that Rosalia was also safe. "I'll stay with you then if you'd like the company." Merlin offered as he followed the others towards the food tent, Layla quickly got in line it was more or less like a cafeteria set up. Grab a tray and then go through the line where people would be handing the food out. There was a lot of meat, veggies and some fruit as well as some bread to.

Once Layla got her food she quickly went over and sat down next to her sister and then looked over towards Rose, saying she could join in and shook her head slightly and looked at her sister. "I'd be fine with refereeing the match i'd more or less be a stormtrooper with a bow." Layla said laughing slightly as Red sat down and looked at Layla as she made some references that she didn't really understand.

Megan nodded, appreciating that Hansel was willing to help keep watch. It comforted her to know that he had similar moralities to her - namely, that they both agreed that human trafficking was bad regardless of the location. Sierra had a heart of gold as well. She probably had the best moral compass of everyone present. Megan never really had spent much time thinking about morality before, largely because she had immersed herself in her studies and then her work. There were surprisingly few moral considerations needed when conducting autopsies. "I've got this," she told Sierra, before drawing excalibur from its sheath.

She gave the padlock of the cage a good whack with her sword and it broke open, allowing the captives to be freed. Megan repeated this process until all of the cages were open, in total freeing roughly twenty or so people. Some of them looked like mermaids and another one looked a lot like Princess Belle - the one who was really into bestiality. She spotted a nearby crate and it gave her somewhat of a funny feeling. Megan popped it open to reveal a suit of armor and she recognized the crest - it was the symbol of King Arthur and Camelot. Her fingers shook slightly as she stared at it, uncertain of what to name the strange feeling that had overtaken her. It was some odd mixture of fear, regret, and certainty.

Rose got food, mostly veggies, but a good chunk of meat and an apple. She sat down and laughed. "Honestly, now I want to see you try." She told Layla. "I'm starved too." She said and started digging into her meal. She figured the last time they ate was at breakfast, but that felt like so long ago.

"Do you guys have a farm or do the veggies come from a market, or spoils of fighting Maleficent?" She was curious how they got their veggies since she hadn't seen anything. Maybe they had carts with dirt boxes set up in them so they could move them. But that also would be pretty difficult she couldn't imagine that working out.

"My dex is surprisingly low for a cat." Colby joked. He looked around the basement room. "Uh, looks like a storage room of some sort." He smiled at the purple cat. It was meowing at him. Colby assessed the cat's body language and knew that the cat was happy they were there.

The door opened and a girl was there. Oops. Good thing they hadn't broken the window. "Sorry." Tink had already given the girl a lie so he didn't feel like trying to change it or lie on top of it. That would just cause an issue in his opinion. He would have gone for following the cat since it wasn't even a lie. But he supposed it would work for 'looking for someone'.

Cassiopeia looked over the food line, her mouth watering from all the different smells. She hoped it tasted as good as it smelled. Cassiopeia piled her plate with mostly veggies as well and a bowl of fruit. She missed fruit. She took a regular portion of meat, knowing she would need the protein to help with the ambush. She sat down between Layla and Rose, drinking some water before she started eating.
”I’m sure dad would let you throw a few daggers.” Cassi paused a moment, setting her fork down. She looked towards Robin, her face beat red. ”I’m sorry, I… I mean, you are our biological father but do you want us calling you dad or just Robin….” It had just slipped out, like it was natural and all of this was normal. She had never called the people who had adopted her and her sister mom and dad but they were more parents than she had ever had. Robin Hood, even though her father, she had just met. Who knew what he really wanted from them.

Tink didn’t have a clue what this place was either and Willow sighed. She looked around the room, taking a few steps here and there as she surveyed the place. Everything looked foreign to her and there was nothing she recognized that would suggest where they might be.
Down the hall, a door opened and a feminine voice could be heard cooing to the cat. Willow looked over, seeing a girl who then saw them and became defensive. Willow stepped back, raising her hands like Tinker Bell did and eyed the sword with a healthy amount of fear in her eyes. Willow knew following the cat would be a bad idea but she kept her mouth shut. Magical place or not, she wasn’t about to tell a stranger they were following a cat, even if the girl seemed to know this purple coloured creature.
Willow seriously hoped Sierra was having better luck in Atlantica.

She rolled her eyes slightly, "If you want to stick around too, that's fine with me..." she said with a shrug towards Merlin. Rosalia didn't really care either way if anyone who she knew actually stuck around. Then again, she had the idea in the back of her mind of wandering off to be alone, so she wondered if he was wanting to make sure that she didn't get herself into trouble for any reason. Which she wasn't that stupid. Sure, she wanted to more or less be alone, but she knew better than to go racing off in a completely random direction and pay attention to where she was and always stay within sight of the camp.

Right now though, everyone seemed to have gotten it into their head to see about getting some food. Saying nothing in particular or whatever, she followed along rather quietly to where everyone was getting food of some sort, and there was a lot of it sitting there. It was a bit surprising, given the fact that they were in a freaky looking area that was literally in Maleficent's backyard. Truthfully she wasn't exactly too hungry, but she went through the line and got some food on her own tray, before sitting down near the others but still a little ways away, and more or less just sort of was poking at it a little bit.

He wasn't too sure what was going on, but he nodded his head when Meg said that they should go see what all was going on. Following along after her and the others, his eyes grew a bit wide when he saw that it was people in cages that the pirates had been hauling along on their ship. Okay, that was just seriously messed up, and he definitely agreed with Meg with regards to seeing the people locked up. "...Alright, this is just completely screwy, we do have to do something..." he agreed with both Meg and Sierra on this issue, they had to do something about it.

Jack was going to see about trying to open up the nearest cage, when Meg beat him to it, and had more or less ended up opening up the cages for just about everyone. Most of them seemed more or less to just be some random people from off the streets, and a few mermaids mixed in, but one actually resembled a known fairy tale character. That being the woman in a sort of torn and tattered yellow dress, which sounded a lot like Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Jack was sort of keeping an eye out, figuring that two people keeping an eye on things (the other being Hansel of course) so that there might be a better chance for them all to get away before the pirates returned. However, he saw that Meg had found something in a nearby crate, and followed along to that area as well, "Well that's cool," he commented, before he decided to open up another nearby crate, and found a sword that looked kind of cool and picked it up a bit, though he did wonder why they had that in a box of some sort. "Okay, so what exactly should we do with all of these people, they likely will stand out, so we probably should think of something."

Maddie was cautious not to physically touch anything down in this basement. Items were sprawled about like a Bazar, ranging from swords to lanterns to rugs and more. Each item was delicately tagged with a string and parchment noting its price. Maddie simply scanned over the items, seeing the range of prices and wondering what exactly they had stumbled into. If it was a secret hideout, it was a very good one. Weapons littered about made it easier to arm oneself should a raid happen, and perhaps some of these items were magical. He thought back to the oil lamp he found and how the others called it a genie's lamp, making him wonder if any of these rugs were magic carpets. He may not have known about Aladdin, but he'd read a similar book about Howl in a land like this.

Suddenly there was the voice of a young girl, searching no doubt for the strange cat from the sounds of it. When she came down and saw them all she immediately brandished a weapon and it appeared that most stayed quiet with the exception of Tink who told only half the truth. Maddie placed his hands up in the air along with the others, eyeing them before sighing and deciding he would be the one to say. If the cat brought them here it'd be for a reason. "She's telling the truth, we are searching for someone. But in that search we stumbled upon your cat which led us all here. Well...I say led but really it bit me and dragged me part of the way. See?" Maddie flashed his hand to show the small bite with flecks of blood surrounding it. "Really we mean no harm just thought…well I figured a cat that intent on having us follow it was worth a look you know? The names Maddie, may I know yours?"

The girl stared at the group with an untrusting look, as the strange cat jumped up onto her shoulder and perched itself on there looking happily and purring rather loudly. "Mhm sure, or maybe you are here to steal my dads stuff. And tried to steal my cat thats probably why he bit you." She said glaring at them, before snapping her fingers as more of those purple cats appeared out of the woodwork all of them glaring at the group there were about thirty of them.

"I'm going to get my dad and his friend, and they'll figure out what to do with the lot of you then. You do anything stupid or threatening and they'll attack you." She said as she started to head up the stairs, they could hear the cats growling and hissing at the lot of them, shortly after that the door closed and locked behind them. Tinker Bell sighed slightly as she looked at the cats and looked for a place to sit down. Finding a chair she was about to go and sit down on it, when one of the cats charged at her and took a swipe at her legs missing her as it growled and hissed at her. "Alright, alright then geeze." Tinker said holding her hands up at the cat while looking at the others.

Sierra was grateful as Meg easily opened the cells, the prisoners looked at them all with a surprised look, as the mermaids quickly got up and looked towards them all. "Thank you." One of them said a younger guy closer towards their age, quickly bolted off and jumped into the water. Sierra went over to see them all swimming off, she was glad that they were able to save all of them, then she turned to the other prisoners who looked more or less human slowly got up and stood just outside of their cells. She walked over to see a woman resembling Belle quiet a bit and a little bit like Jack as well to.

The sword that Jack picked up the blade immediately burst into flames, though the fire emanating from the blade wouldn't feel hot to Jack at all really. "Thats actually really cool." Sierra said, as she looked around there wasn't any signs of the guards yet which was probably a good thing. "Jack?" Belle asked looking over towards him for a moment as she finally got out of the cell and stared at him, Sierra looked at Jack and then at her a little bit as she went over and pulled him into a hug.

"Whichever makes you guys feel comfortable really, and we can allow throwing knives in to." Robin said giving a slight shrug, he knew that he pretty much abandoned them and sent them off to a distant land to protect them all. Layla smiled towards her dad and nodded towards him, as she started to dig into her dinner and watched as Rosalia came over and joined them, sitting by herself. "I'll be over there if you guys don't mind." Layla said as Robin nodded Layla looked at Rosalia. "Mind if I join you?" She offered, just trying to be friendly.

Red sat down next to Rose and looked towards her. "So, whats your life been like?" She couldn't help but ask her daughter feeling like she hadn't really had the time to actually get to know her all that well as she continued to eat her dinner while the rest of Robin Hood's men came in and were all now eating. "Yes i'm kind of curious to." Robin said looking over towards his daughter.

Rose shifted in her chair when her mom asked about her life. "I got separated from the others and ended up lost in the woods when I was brought to Kansas. But I got found by a sweet couple. They tried to find my...you. Obviously, they failed. But they adopted me. And I grew up loving the woods and I met Cassiopia through archery contests. They were good parents. I got pretty lucky out of the group."

She said treading carefully. She didn't want to make Red think she was mad, okay she was a bit but who in their group wasn't a little mad at the situation. "It was rough in a way though. I didn't know what had happened. I just was lost in the woods. And no one knew who you were. I got lucky though because the Buckners cared for me as if I were their own." Her voice got a little shaky thinking of the worst years. Thinking of all the times she had tried to find her birth parents in the woods. How she had read books about changelings and figured she might be one. "I understand why." She said when she found her voice again.

"Overall though it was okay. I have a couple of different jobs because I don't like to do just one thing. I'm a part-time Ranger. I'm a part-time bartender and waitress. I just sort of go where things are interesting." She didn't say that she never traveled in the hopes that her parents would show back up in Kansas looking for her. She didn't say how many nights she had run away and wandered the woods hoping to find the portal that took her back to the smells and comforts she could only vaguely remember.

"Did Merlin put a spell on us to make us forget? I was pretty old I should have had more memories of here but it seems so far away even what I do remember seems like it could have happened to someone else."

Colby sighed a little defeated. He wasn't surprised the girl didn't believe them. It was weird. Nothing had been normal since he had gotten the letter from Merlin. He looked at all the cats. "You see," He said to the cats. "We're looking for my dad, and his dad." He gestured to Maddie. "My dad is a cat too." He still had no idea that the purple cat he had been following might have been his dad, but if he had had that thought before it would be gone now considering how many purple cats there were.

The cats didn't seem to believe him. They were all tense and mad-looking. As cats do. "I get it, I wouldn't trust us either in your situation. But I promise. We mean no harm to the people who live here." He felt confident saying that as the girl didn't seem like someone who worked for Jafar. She had magical cats. There was no denying the cats were magical, in a city that forbade it. This seemed to give him a little consideration from the cats. They calmed down a little. He took a step toward the nearest one and held out his hand, back of the hand, and averted his eyes. Letting the cat sniff him. It bapped the hand, without claws and Colby withdrew it.

He was out of ideas. It seemed they'd have to wait for the girl to return with her father and his friend. "At least they don't seem like they'll turn us in considering they have a hoard of magical cats."

Megan's shaking hands brushed the armor and suddenly, it wasn't there anymore. She blinked, stunned by the sudden act of magic. The crate was empty save for a single ring bearing King Arthur's crest. She had seen a lot of magic so far, but it was still shocking to see such a violation of the laws of physics. But somehow, she knew that the armor had merely just transformed into the ring and she picked it up, expecting it to be impossibly heavy, but it wasn't. She paused for a moment, feeling like a child taking something that didn't belong to them as she slid the ring onto her left ring finger. It fit perfectly, as if it had been meant for her.

"We should take them with us," Megan decided, trying to refocus her mind and bury those troubling emotions. She raised an eyebrow at Jack's sword. Of course he had found a flaming sword. She didn't even know why she was really surprised at all. This was classic Jack, just casually holding a flaming sword as Belle from Beauty in the Beast claimed to recognize him and embraced him. "Old babysitter?" Megan guessed, not sure how exactly Belle could have known Jack otherwise. "You might want to put that fire out, it'll draw attention, brother dear."

Cassiopeia smiled a little when Robin Hood assured her he was fine with whatever Cassiopeia decided to call him. In this moment she was just so happy to finally have their family reunited that she didn’t care why or how they had been left in the other world. The fact was they were back now and Cassi could help her true family now. She took a break from eating when Robin asked what their life was like. Layla had gone off to sit with the others so it was up to Cassi to share. She drank most of her water, remaining silent for a moment. Alcohol would be a great thing to have right now. She let Rose finish speaking first, smiling a little when she mentioned meeting her for the first time.
”I won’t lie to you dad, it was hell. The first family we were adopted out to at thirteen was amazing but then they died and we were thrown back into the system. Layla and I luckily weren’t separated but we went through several homes. All of them worse than the one before. I really started to hate you then,” she confessed. Cassiopeia stared at her cup, tilting it back and forth while she spoke. ”It got bad when I threw a rock at one of our foster parents, tired of the beatings and the starvation. I was sure I just screwed Layla and I out of a life, we were sixteen anyways and would phase out soon but a younger couple adopted us.” Cassi smiled then and looked at Robin. ”They taught us so much. How to hunt, how to shoot and survive in the woods. Once they took the time, Lala and I picked up on everything really quickly. Guess it was in the DNA,” she joked.
Cassiopeia shifted a little on the bench, finding a more comfortable position on the unforgiving wood.
”After that it’s been pretty basic. We got jobs, Lala and I are both hunting guides but I also teach archery. We go to the diner Rose works at often, hoping for a free meal,” Cassi said and grinned at Rose.
She looked back at her father, examining the lines on his face, his eyes, his hair. She was looking for similarities but also something familiar from a life long gone.
”I remember some things of being younger, before leaving,” she said softly. ”A man’s laughter, trying to fire an arrow for the first time and a song. How did it go again…” It took Cassiopeia a moment but then she started to whistle the tune she remembered from her childhood before.

Willow frowned, not at all happy about the situation that they found themselves in. It was more of her fear doing the talking, Willow knew this but she was having a hard time calming herself down. She kept her hands up after the girl conjured more purple cats before leaving to get her father. Tink tried to move and the cats made it clear that was a bad idea.
Colby started talking to them about looking for his and Matthew’s fathers’. ”And my mom!” she chimed in quickly. Colby seemed to be the cat whisperer, which seemed most logical given his father was supposed to be the cheshire cat. Even though the cats seemed more calm, Willow didn’t move.

"I don't really care... You can if you want to..." she said kind of quietly in response to Layla asking if she could sit by her. The conversation seemed to be drifting from random nonsense to more specifically what their lives had been like growing up. That was not a subject she really wanted to touch on, and she listened in as the others more or less talked about what their lives were like growing up, and it made her once again question if something was wrong with her or whatever, and if that had been the reason why no one had wanted to adopt her growing up.

Like yeah, Cass and Layla's life sounded like it sucked at points too, but they at least had each other and the first home they were in and the last home were at sounded like they were great. Whereas Rose seemingly just had a nice life in general over all. Then there was her, the kid that no one wanted, had no one to stick by her or anything, and the one that when she ran away at a young age no one even really looked for her and it was only by chance when she was stealing stuff that they sent her back into the system. She had literally nothing and no one who seemed to care if she was around. Of course she wasn't going to say most of the thoughts that were going through her head right now out loud. Besides, she wasn't asked anything specific, and she wasn't going to just offer up anything like that.

Jack Gold

He was a little surprised when the sword seemingly lit on fire, though he couldn't help but think that it was at least kind of cool, and truthfully he probably should see about getting more handy with the weapon, since currently he was essentially able to throw fireballs sometimes and attempt to poke people with a sharp pointy object. Not too much help in an actual fight, though trying to solve a mystery or pick someone out in a crowd? He was definitely your guy, and he did prefer to talk his way out of situations whenever possible as opposed to fighting. Which was clearly not the way to go about running around in this world. It took him a moment, but he did manage to get the fire from the sword to disappear, since as Meg pointed out, obviously it would draw attention to them.

Then came the matter of Belle (at least that's who he assumed she was based on her clothes despite them being a bit ragged) seemed to recognize him? Uh what? Jack was confused when she said his name, almost more of like she was saying it at a question, before she decided to hug him. Nothing was making sense, and in all honesty he was trying to mentally figure out the best way to say what was going through his head with regards to her words and actions. Since he was beyond confused, and no one else had made mention of him knowing Belle in some way at all, so this was a weird situation for him to be in.

"...Hi, uh sorry, I really don't want to sound rude or anything, but uh... Who exactly are you? Since I don't really remember you, or having really known you... Sorry... Mind telling me who exactly you are to me? Since based on your appearance and all, I can make a guess that you are Belle, just... I don't know how I'd know you..." he commented, sounding a bit apologetic with his words. He had no idea who Belle should be to him. Though it did strike him as a bit strange that she seemed to know his name just by looking at him. Though... Jack did notice that there was a little bit of a resemblance between him and her, so that led to him wondering if that it might be because they were related. Though her being related to Rumpelstiltskin in some way was a weird thing to think about. So how? Since he'd only been told that he had a relation to Rumpel, not to any other fairy tale character.
