“From what I remember from mundane history, she’s also dead. Have been for good ninety years,” he rolled his eyes. Being able to remember various historical details had been Alec’s curse. He had a tendency of blurting out random facts when stresses. “I’ve been in worse situations so yes, I am going to get out of here one way or another. Maybe you’re just not as determined as I am,” he said with a shrug. “And all the legends are true. Your life is going to be easier when you accept it.”

“Haven’t you learned that you shouldn't believe everything you read? You’re from a different time then me, your past is my future and time seems to work in odd ways here.” Because there is a very good chance that in the others time she had died, but that didn’t make her sad, she knew she still had a whole life to live out. “Well good luck with that, because it’s not going to happen. I’ve been here six months, trust me- I was determined.” Anya shrugged, giving up on trying to prove to the other that it wasn’t possible for him to leave this place so easily. “And your life would be easier if you accepted the fact that I’m Anastasia Romanov, because I’m not going to be the last person you meet that isn’t going to cause you some sort of confusion.”

“Yeah but someone is bound to eventually. If we stop looking, we’ll never find it,” Hermione pointed out, “That’s quite interesting. If you don’t mind me asking, what year was it before you left? I’ve met a number of people here from different eras too. What would your modern day be?”

“Maybe, or if someone does maybe it’s the person who put us all here to begin with. They might just be waiting for the right time to appear and act as our saviour when in reality this was their doing.” Anya commented, making a note that maybe she had been indulging in one too many movies in her spare time. “It was 1926, so my modern day would be completely different to that of someone here. We didn’t have this technology, these movies, these kind of homes. Or at least I didn’t, I was an orphan and had only recently discovered I had family still alive, I had lost all of my memories from a child and they were slowly starting to come back before being placed here.”

Killian chuckled, “Yes. I’m the sheriff. Just like I was in Storybrooke too. But I wouldn’t arrest anyone for something they did in their own world, that’s not my place since I don’t know the whole story or have the proof to do anything about it. So just stay out of trouble here.”

Anya saluted at the other, not sure why she did it but maybe there was just a small coil of nervousness building in her stomach that caused her to do something stupid. “I promise I’ll do my best to stay out of trouble, if you ever do see me attacking anyone it’ll probably be Dmitri, if he finds his way here and he probably deserved it.”

“I’m fine, really,” Adam huffed, waving the other away. Not willing to admit that he had walked straight into unmoving glass part of a revolving door whilst he had been trying to figure out how they work, he decided not to mention it. His head had bashed against the metal bar and had caused a gash on his forehead that was unfortunately bleeding a lot. “You should see the other guy,” he added smugly as if to redeem himself.

“I’m going to pretend that I didn’t see you walk into that door and let you keep your masculine pride.” Anya commented, holding up some dampened tissue to the others head to try and stop the bleeding, “I’ll believe that there is another guy and that you beat him good, real good.” Anya teased, rolling her eyes at the other and how he felt that he needed to pretend to be in a fight to compensate for an injury.

“You’ll definitely change your mind once you try it,” Doreen replied, obviously convinced everybody was bound to love the combination of sweet and salty. She couldn’t understand why somebody wouldn’t. “Oh? Well if we ever get out of Canada I’d love a tour,” she added with a kind smile.

“Alright, alright. I trust you and I don’t trust many people so easily so you should consider yourself lucky.” Anya teased the other, knowing that it wasn’t like this was anything big, just a matter of food and what tasted good. But this woman seemed to love it so she was more then willing to try. “If we ever get out Canada, I’d love to give you one. I’ll even take you by the palace. If it’s still there in this time.”

dippersxpines:

“Oh no,” Dipper replied at her words. “That’s not good.” Someone out to kill off everybody in her family and she was the last one left? That sounded absolutely dreadful. “If he ever shows up at least you’re not alone. You’ve got new friends here and we’re going to stick up for you,” he promised. Dipper wouldn’t leave someone to fend for themselves if he could do something about it. “Well my name’s Dipper and my twin sister and I originally come from Piedmont, California. My life only really started getting weird when we went to visit our Great Uncle in this place called Gravity Falls. We started figuring out that… the town wasn’t what we thought it was. A lot of secrets were being hidden and my sister and I sort of set off on uncovering mysteries.”

Anya was trying her best to hold back a smile at the others words, but it was proving to be quite difficult, “Well I have to say it’s nice to have people on my side, wanting to help me fight my fight. But if you help me, then I’ll help you if your bad guy shows up too. I mean, that’s what friends are for, right?” Anya leaned on her hand across the table as she listened to the other speak, enthralled with what he was saying as he spoke about his life, “A twin sister? I can imagine that being the best thing in the world or the worst depending on the day and your mood. But this Gravity Falls place sounds interesting, I love a good mystery after all.”

“I would say nothing is impossible ever,” Killian replied, “That way you learn to expect the unexpected,” He shrugged, “I won’t judge, and I won’t arrest you or anything as long as you don’t murder anyone or commit any crimes here.”

“Though I didn’t expect this- and this was very unexpected. So I guess I still have a little more learning to do.” At the mention of being arrested Anya’s eyes went a little wide, “Wait.. Are you law enforcement? And I’m pretty certain I won’t do any of that unless Rasputin shows up here.”

[anyaxrcmancv]

hermionexgrangerx:

Hermione shook her head, “I can’t imagine being here for that long, although I suppose I might be if I can’t find a way home,” She paused and smiled, “Where are you from?”

“Well I’ve been here for six months now and still haven’t met anyone who’s found a solution to get out of this place and I’ve met a lot of people.” Anya shrugged, though with each passing day she was becoming more settled in this town and in this world. “Russia.” She smiled, “Well Russia originally, recently moved to Paris and was about to travel the world before I was placed here.”

“Oh trust me – it’s no disaster. If anything it’s an epic one. Sweet and salty is the best combination even known to mankind and fries with ice cream is one of the first ones ever,” Doreen announced dramatically. She loved food. “You won’t know ‘til you try, right?” she added, glad to encourage the girl to try something new. Doreen listened to Anya reminiscing with a bright smile. They way she described all those places, Doreen almost felt as if she had been there with her. “I can understand that. I wonder if you’d like Paris in 2018. I hear it’s really turned into just a big ol’ tourist trap and it’s sort of lost its magic which is sort of a bummer.”

“I would have never have thought the two would compliment one another, normally it’s sweet with sweet and savoury with savoury and never the two shall meet. Clearly a lot has changed. But you’re right, I won’t know until I’ve tried it.” Anya’s face scrunched up ever so slightly, “I don’t think Paris could ever lose it’s magic, it might not sparkle as brightly but find the right places and the magic will still be present.”

alxandr-lghtwd:

“What only proves my point that you’re not her,” he said with another shrug. “Unless you’re a vampire… Although walking on the sun contradicts it.” Alec was slowly losing his patience. Everything about that girl didn’t make sense and further argument was pointless. 

"Convincing the Dowager Empress that I was Anastasia is proving to have been a lot easier then proving to you that I’m her and I don’t even know why it matters, you’re just some stranger who thinks they’re going to get out of here in ten minutes when that’s the last thing that’s going to happen.” She spoke, her volume rising from the little outburst that had just happened which had been born from the other feeding her frustration. “I’m not a vampire- vampires don’t exist after all-.. or perhaps they do, I don’t know what’s real and what’s not anymore because of this land.”

“I will definitely keep an eye out for them. I’ll be honest I’m nervous to run into my villain. He’s got like interdimensional powers and has a terrible attitude. I’m sure you wouldn’t like him either,” Dipper replied, definitely not excited to run into Bill any time soon. “Same here. I love hearing people’s stories. Even if we don’t end up friends or anything I just get so curious and fascinated. I didn’t know half these words existed before.”

“He doesn’t sound like the best guy, I’m hoping mine doesn’t turn up either. He’s dead but that doesn’t seem to stop people, he wants to get rid of the Romanov bloodline all together and I’m the last one left.” Because she guessed most people had a villain, probably made a good story and she was coming to find that most of their lives were stories in someone else’s lives. “Alright, then tell me your story mystery man, where are you from? What did you do? Who are you?”

“The best things come around when least expected,” Pamela smiled. This was true. She hadn’t expected to run into someone she could possibly be training or getting to know, but here they were. It’d be nice to try and let herself get to know people without being so worried about some things she carried with her back in Gotham. She missed her powers and life back at home, but she was also excited about this new beginning. “Anya. The pleasure’s all mine,” the redhead grinned back. This would be fun.

Anya smiled a little at the others words because there was so much truth that rang in them, Dmitri and Pooka came into her life when she least expected them too and they were the best things that had happened to her. “I don’t think I’ve heard anything that’s sounded that true to me in a long time.” She added, grinning from ear to ear at the prospect of making a new friend as well as learning a new hobby and skill.

hermionexgrangerx:

“Perhaps if weren’t trapped here against, forced here against our will, it would actually be a nice place to live,” Hermione said, the humor she tried to put into her tone lacking any serious strength, “The sun is never something to complain about where I’m from. Unless it gets too warm.”

“I guess I stopped looking at it as being trapped here after my second month, it’s not like we’re in a cage, it’s just more of a dome situation.” She explained, though she did guess it would be nice to have the choice to be here and have the choice to leave. “I don’t think I’ve experienced weather too warm, I’ve been used to the cold for so long.”

[anyaxrcmancv]

captainxkillianxjonesx:

“Maybe. Though getting there when you’re not from there can be somewhat difficult sometimes,” Killian replied, knowing it was an understatement, “Counts as murder either way but hate to say I’ve killed for worse reasons,” He couldn’t help but be a little surprised. She didn’t exactly look like someone who had killed but he could could never judge something like that, “I’d rather they didn’t end up here. I’d rather get back home and see them there. They wouldn’t be trapped there.”

“Fair, though I say nothing is impossible after being stuck in this place.” She added, because she never in her wildest dreams could have imagined something like this ever happening to her, she wouldn’t even be able to conjure up the thought and yet here they were. Anya frowned a little at the fact that she was considered a murderer, “He technically wasn’t fully alive if that helps my case.” Anya couldn’t help but smile at the others words, “Well let’s hope you can get back to them before they come to you, though this place isn’t all that bad. You get used to it after a while.”

hermionexgrangerx:

Having finally gotten some sleep, eaten some food and most important, had a shower, Hermione decided not to go straight back to looking for a way home. Instead, she went to the park and sat underneath a tree to read, “It’s actually kind of nice here, peaceful. I hadn’t taken the time to notice.”

Anya was sprawled out on her back, her eyes closed as the sun beat down on her skin, she loved the sun, something she didn’t see a lot of back home. “I like it, where I’m from there was a lot of people from the start of my life, or from what I remember-” Because there had been the orphanage and St Petersberg and then the palace in Paris there was always people about, she didn’t have time to do this. “Also I’m a big fan of the sun, the warmth, it’s odd to be wearing so few layers.”

[anyaxrcmancv]

captainxkillianxjonesx:

“That’s unfortunate. Light magic is quite miraculous,” Killian replied and then nodded, “I’m glad you see it that way but my story is slightly different from that of the fairy tales, of which I am still the villain. I’ve done some terrible things in my life that aren’t in the story,” He paused and smiled sadly, “Yes, she is my wife. She’s back in our world with our daughter, Hope. At least I hope she is.”

“Maybe I’ll get to see it one day then, I mean who’s to say we’ll be stuck in our own worlds after all of this. Your Storybrooke sounds rather interesting and if given the chance I wouldn’t mind taking a look at it for myself.” Because the idea to explore different worlds, or realms as the other put it was exciting to her. She loved an adventure and that would probably be the greatest one she’d ever embark on. “Terrible things like broke the law or terrible things like killing someone. I’ve done both, though the person who I killed was super evil so I’m not sure if that counts as murder.” That and he had been dead for centuries to begin with, she simply stopped him from becoming truly alive once again. “I’m sure she will be and I’m sure they’ll both be alright, you never know though- they might end up in this place. People find others from their world here more often then not.”

captainxkillianxjonesx:

“That’s a much nastier curse than the ones I’ve experienced. Although someone had to die for it to work but a land without magic had some benefits to a few of the people I know,” Magic let Killian live longer than he was supposed to and through that he was able to meet Emma but he’d also seen magic ruin people, hurt people. He laughed a little and lifted his hand, “Does the hook not give it away?” He asked, “Ever read Peter Pan. I was the villain once upon a time - no pun intended - but then I met Emma. I started saving lives instead of ruining them.”

“I’ve only seen dark magic, never anything light. So I guess I’m just happy that there is no magic here, I’ve seen villains from stories here and I don’t know what would come if they were able to access their powers here.” Anya scrunched up her face a little as she saw the others hook, honestly she hadn’t noticed it until the other had point it out but now that he had she wasn’t sure how she hadn’t seen it. “Captain Hook- right? Though from the stories I’ve read Captain Hook was the good guy and it was Peter that was evil.” Because she had delved a little too deep into the internet on theories and reviews of the books and movies she had watched. “Emma? Is she your person? Your love?”
