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.]

Please, calm down. This is going to sound strange but you're not home anymore.
Re: 2
Than where am I? And where's Emma? Don't tell me...she didn't leave did she?
[Henry's sounding a little distressed here.]
no subject
You're in Mayfield. It's a town in a different world and it's not nearly as safe and pleasant as it seems. [Signless's tone turns softer, almost apologetic.] I'm afraid I don't know anyone named Emma here, I'm sorry. But believe me, if she were here she wouldn't be able to leave.
Not of her own free will.
no subject
[Hearing this explanation of the town however makes Henry seem to feel worried. Had the curse gotten stronger?]
So...this town is like Storybrooke than. Unless...the Queen changed the curse but that can't be right? [He's muttering to himself now. But decides to ask this guy a couple of questions that would probably seem personal.]
Do you remember everything about your life before you came here? Like how you met each person and it's not all one big haze?
no subject
Storybrooke is where your from I assume. I'm only acquainted with one queen here and she doesn't have the power to place curses despite being quite the witch.
[Hm. What odd questions.] Yes, I remember everything from before my arrival very clearly. My planet, my travels, my family.
no subject
[Having his questions answered though confirms one thing. Mayfield is just really similar to Storybrooke.]
Well that's good at least. But why are people here in Mayfield than? Did someone put a curse on this place too?
no subject
That is something all of us are still trying to figure out. All of us woke up here one day just like you. We're stripped of everything from out home worlds but we're gradually given them back over time.
no subject
Wait...you're not from Earth? Are you from the Enchanted Forest than? [He's starting to feel hopeful. After all the more he can find who escaped the curse the better he could convince Emma. Cause you know not everyone encountered the Evil Queen from what he's read in his book so it could be possible? But hearing he might get his book later is not reassuring.]
So I won't get my book back...? [He's feeling a bit nervous. More for the fact that it could get stolen again.]
no subject
Oh no, you'll get it back. Just not right away.
no subject
Oh...
[Hearing he'd get his book back though sometime gives some sort of comfort though.]
So how will I get it back than?
no subject
It will show up on your doorstep after one of the "events" Mayfield likes to have from time to time. [He says "events" with a cringe, as if the word itself leaves a bitter taste in his mouth.] Be very wary though. More often then not they're very dangerous.
no subject
Henry notices however the cringe over the phone when the stranger explains about the events and to be cautious.]
How...dangerous are we talking here?
