"Can you hear me?"

“Yes,” he answered, though he couldn’t see the other man. They were both restrained to the table, and Archie couldn’t move his head enough to see his fellow prisoner. “Are … are you okay?” He hadn’t been able to see what they’d done to the other man, and had been far more preoccupied with what they’d been doing to him. But he was concerned about the other man’s health. And, discovering a way out of this place. Maybe, together, they could escape.

[text] Don’t worry, your child/pet is safe with me…

He started at the text for a second, before rushing to look outside. Sure enough, Pongo wasn’t in the backyard anymore, he was gone. Trying to take deep, steadying breaths, he looked back at his phone.[text] What do you mean by safe?

[text] Where are you? And who are you? Can I come get him?

Interesting Security System || Dove & Belle

[ defendthedarkness ]

While she appreciated the company of those that had remained in Storybrooke, and particularly those that were celebratory of the success that came from her protecting the town by the means of the scroll that Rumple had entrusted her with -- there was soft stillness that she missed already. They had left with him, and were somewhere on the way to Neverland. Belle had grown to understand that she and Rumple didn't need to talk all the time, there had been plenty of times in the Dark Castle where they would be in the same room, he spinning and her with her book, and it still felt as though they had been having a heart to heart the whole time. Just allowing that soft vulnerable state to sit with another -- that was when she had really begun to see the man beneath the monster.

But his absence was still fresh upon her heart, and Belle had decided that she was not much for celebration much more for the night. Slipping out of Granny's Diner as politely as she could, the librarian had a much quieter destination in mind. Somewhere that she was certain that no one else would even have a second look upon, now that it's owner was another world away. Having been given a key, she easily had access to the shop, the bell chiming as she entered and quietly closed the door behind her. A soft pause, her eyes adjusting to the dark shop before Belle quickly navigated passed the trinkets and bobbles that lined the shelves. There was something much older that she had her thoughts upon.

In the back room of the shop, gentle fingers traced the curve of the spinning wheel. Hours upon hours Belle had seen Rumple spinning -- to help him forget. The worn feel of the wood was enough to attest just how much the man spun up his thoughts within the thread. Belle was focused on the device, wrapped up in her own thoughts about the man that owned it, that she hadn't paid much else attention to the rest of her surroundings.

Dove walks up to Dr. Hopper, takes his hand in his own, and writes "You are awesome!" in purple sharpie.

Archie looked down at his hand, before looking back up at the towering man. “What?” was really all he could think to ask. Dove, walking up to him, and with the most serious face, writing a message for him in the most florescent purple sharpie he’d ever seen. This was … crazy. “I, uh … what?” Yes, what really was the only question that fully conveyed his utter confusion and shock.

"I'm sorry sir," Dove says. He hates to be the bearer of bad news but the doctors are all too afraid to approach Mr. Gold themselves. He can't quite remember how it happened, but one of them managed to rope him into doing it. He needs to just get it out now, like ripping off a band aid. The hours of waiting are over now. There is nothing left to wait on. "Your son is dead."

defendthedarknessYou have all of one ask to completely shatter my character. Make it count.

Somehow, he had already known.He’d felt it. But that didn’t make it any easier to hear.He hadn’t even gotten to say goodbye. Ever since the accident,his son had been unconscious and Gold had been getting his own wounds looked after– despite his insistence that hewas fine and wanted to see his boy. The doctors seemed to thinkthat his ankle was permanently damaged, that he’d likely have to usea cane when he finally got out of this cast. What did he care? What did it matter? He would have given both ofhis legs for his son to be alright. No, he would have rather died. If oneof them had to, he would have preferred it be himself and not the childwho was barely a teenager.A limp. He could handle a limp. He didn’t know if he could handle t h i s. They’d been too cowardly to tell him themselves, eh? To tell him that despite all of their promises to do all they could, they had failed and Bae was dead.He wanted to rage at them, to shout and curse and threaten to evict every one of them, and perhaps later, he would. For now, there was only onethought on his mind.“I want to see him.” He was surprised at how even his voice sounded, howc a l m. Inside, he was screaming. “You go back, and you tell them that I want to see him now.”

Hi, I'm really new and have an oc who can work almost anywhere. He's from another planet and gets sent away so I thought maybe Rush and the others could find him on some planet or something? Anyways, I thought it would just be cool to role play with you since I love SGU and Rush. It wouldn't be a ship or anything, just a fun little thing to play out, if you wanted to. If not I completely understand.

I’m up for anything to be honest. XD

Never done a roleplay like that with Rush so that sounds pretty interesting. I always wondered what it would have been like. On the series if they had found an alien that wasn’t too hostile and could communicate with them. 

Didn’t really seem to happen…Even when they thought the ones they found were on their side.
