mayfield_rpg | Tale 001 - The Boy from Storybrooke.

Page 1 - 754 Partridge Drive

[Henry had been on his way to go see Emma. She had called him to talk about something important. Maybe it was about Operation Cobra. Had to be right? What else would she need to talk to him so urgently about? But on his way he found himself getting rather sleepy before blacking out.

When awakening Henry finds he is not in his own bedroom. It looks pretty old and there isn't as many clocks in it as he has in his old room at home. Moving to the window Henry looks out it only to see there a row on row of identical houses, plus where the heck was the clock tower that he could see.

Henry hears a knock at his door and before he can go to open it a woman walks in smiling ear to ear. She greets him good morning and as she leans down towards him Henry moves around her and goes out the door. She looked like she as going to kiss him.

Question was, where was he? He's only ever been outside of Storybrooke once and he didn't remember getting on a bus and coming to this place, let alone lying in a strange bedroom. He goes outside his front door only to see a row of more identical houses. Henry frowns looking obviously more than a little upset. Did the Queen figure out what Operation Cobra was and sent him here to keep him out of the way?

All Henry knew is that he wished Emma was with him]

Page 2 - Phone

[Running back inside, Henry goes and grabs the closest phone. Maybe he could dial Emma, maybe he was still in Storybrooke but the Queen just changed everything somehow. After all she's an evil Queen right? Dialing Emma's number he hears someone pick up.]

Emma! It's Henry! Something's happened! I think the Queen has done something to the curse! Look outside if you don't believe me!

Page 3 - Running down the street

[Hanging the phone up, Henry runs outside again down the street in his pajamas, maybe his storybook had the answer to what was going on. He kept it locked up at the sheriff's office and maybe Emma would be there and they could go over it together and find out what was happening.]

[ Juliet is out taking a walk before heading to work, continuing her attempts to find something that would help her and her partner find a way out of Mayfield, or anything that could point them in the right direction. Preoccupied, she nearly collides into a little boy running around in his pajamas. His attire and obvious hurry raise immediate concern in Juliet for the child; clearly, this is not one of the drone kids. Even if she wasn't a cop and inclined to help people through her profession, her innate compassion would've had Juliet call out to the kid. ]

Whoa, hey! What's the hurry? Are you okay?

[Henry slides to a stop when he hears another unfamiliar voice call out to him. Slowly turning on the spot he looks at the stranger with confusion. He'd never seen her before...he'd never seen her in Storybrooke. Now he really needed to get his story book.]

I....

[He stumbles unsure of how to answer. But takes in a breath just deciding to answer.]

I don't know where I am. I need to get to the sheriff's office.

[ Juliet's answering smile is compassionate, but also a little sad. It doesn't seem fair for a young boy like this to be pulled into Mayfield. Sighing and tucking a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, she nods her head in understanding. ]

You're a new arrival, huh? Well, I can answer your questions, at least some of them. My name is Juliet, I'm a detective at the Santa Barbara police department - back home, that is. This place is called Mayfield, and it's probably completely different than wherever it is that you're from. Also, I wouldn't recommend going to the sheriff's office here, unfortunately.

[Henry stares up at her still trying to figure out if she is one of many story book characters lost in Storybrooke. But these thoughts are interrupted when she talks. Wait what was this about new arrivals?]

W-what? Mayfield? So...this isn't Storybrooke?

[He looks down at the ground confused.]

[But looks back up at her as a new thought comes to mind.]

Do you remember everything about your life? It's not all one big haze where you can't remember how you met people?

I'm sorry, sweetie, but no. It isn't. Most people here were taken from their homes, just like you've been. We don't know how or why. But there are a lot people here who are looking into it.

[ Her sympathy turns into slight confusion at the question, and she frowns a little. ]

Well, yes, I remember everything. Why do you ask?

[Henry looks thoughtful for a moment. So if lots of people were taken from their homes could this be another layer of the curse?]

Because this could be part of the Queen's evil curse.

[He says that like it's telling someone the sky is blue. Srsly.]

[ Oh, Henry. Juliet is dating a certain Shawn Spencer. She's used to hearing strange and/or outrageous things all the time. This doesn't even faze her. She shrugs her shoulders. ]

As it is, nobody has been able to figure out who's responsible for these kidnappings. Some suspect the Mayor of the town has something to do with it. You have to be really careful here, okay? Everything is not as it seems, and it's better to be safe than sorry.

What's your name?

[Oh look the Mayor is probably responsible. Now why does that sound familiar? Upon hearing that though he looks at her intently.]

What does the mayor look like? Is it a lady? Short black hair? Has an apple tree in the back of the courtyard at their office?

[Oh right a name.]

I'm Henry.

[And that's all he's going to tell you. Cause if the mayor is Regina he does not want any relationship to her.]

No, it's a man. Mayor John Doe.

[ She scoffs a little in disbelief at the name, shaking her head. She has never actually seen the Mayor herself, though not for lack of trying. When the boy introduces himself, Juliet smiles again. ]

Nice to meet you, Henry. I'm sorry that you got stuck here with us, though. [ She pauses, tilting her head inquisitively. ] Was there any reason you were in such a hurry to go to the police, other than being taken from home?

[Henry frowns a little bit not looking thoughtful. So his adoptive mother didn't run this place. But still it was more than a little weird waking up somewhere he didn't remember going to.]

So the Evil Queen doesn't run Mayfield than... [He says this a little more to himself than to Juliet. But look the woman has a question about why he was going to the police.]

I needed to get my storybook to figure out if this was part of the curse.

[ Juliet purses her lips at that, looking apologetic. ]

I don't think your book is here, I'm sorry to say. All our personal belongings get taken from us when we get pulled into Mayfield. All we have are the things that are in the house you woke up in.

[Henry's mouth goes dry as he hears that his Storybook isn't in Mayfield at all. It's like when his book had gotten stolen when Regina decided to tear his castle down.]

....
Than I have to write it all down before I forget it all!

[ She frowns, concerned. ]

Forget what?

All of what happened before the Queen made the curse happen. Maybe there's something in one of the stories that explains the curse more.

Alright. [ She has no idea what the boy is talking about, but it seems important to him. ] Well, I think you will find what you need for that at the house you woke up in. And proper clothing, too - you shouldn't be running about in just your pj's. You might catch a cold.
