it might be a prank by one or some of the kids in town. i'm looking into it, not to worry.
ㅤ

[REGINA. @CursedRevenge]

a preference for /my/ portrait? huh, do tell me more about this thief because i don't recall having a similar problem with whoever they are before.

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ
apparently, we have a portrait thief on our hands, and they kind of have a preference for yours.
ㅤ

[REGINA. @CursedRevenge]

oh?

explain to me why would that be necessary, sheriff.

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ
( cringes at the affectionate term. must run. must hide. must— ) i'm asking regina to ban everyone from saying that.

[✧ ╱ 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆. @SAVI0URSFATHER]

ㅤ ㅤ
and that's my cue to leave. goodnight, your majesty. we can talk about my mother again tomorrow.
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"No. I am not."

She reaches into the bag.

"And soon, you will not be either."

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
there has to be something else you can do with your time. aren't you tired?
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"Take a guess."

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
you're not planning on using it, right?
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"Mind controls the victim."

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
okay? and what does that do?
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"That too. But also a bag of enchanted sand."

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
pure hatred for my mother?
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"I have a sense of humor. But guess what else I have?"

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
did you just — ? ( oh, Emma doubles over in laughter )
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"I will never let it go. I am not Elsa."

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
you know i can't do that. don't you want to let that go? it's 2025.
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"Well, if you want to be supportive, then help me catch your mother."

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
i wasn't trying to, your majesty. i am being supportive.
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"You don't get to command me, Sherrif."

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
oh, another new year's resolution for you—work on your sarcasm.
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"Well, the snow pun and all. It doesn't matter. I was being sarcastic."

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
what's that supposed to mean?
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"Think you're funny, eh? I can see that the Snow Queen was your foster mother."

//Good pun.//

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
there was literally a snowstorm the
other day. you could have captured
more snow than you can handle.
ㅤ ㅤ
ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ( 🥁 )
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"To be better at capturing Snow more like."

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
maybe make that a new year's resolution then. to be better at promises.
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"I'll take note of that.

But I am not great at promises."

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
so i keep getting told. i don’t want to be perceived a certain way because of my parents' legacy. i’ll never live up to it — i'm nothing like them.
ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
can we put a pause on hexing until at least the end of January?
ㅤ ㅤ

[The Evil Queen @DarkSideOfMills]

"So, it means that you will come find me and that I can hex you. Interesting."

[𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍. @THESAVl0UR]

ㅤ ㅤ
fireworks are banned in Storybrooke, by the way. if and when i catch you, you're getting locked up.
