Uh, hi.
[ can she have points for effort? the wave she gives is more uncertain than friendly, like she's not entirely comfortable addressing the entire network (she's not). she figures it'll work for everyone else the same way it does for her. when Emma has something to offer, she answers. when she doesn't, she leaves it to someone else.]
My name's Emma, and as a lot of you have already noticed, I'm new here.
[ she's been called out on it enough to know that it's obvious. some part of her still doubts everything here and it bleeds into conversation too easily. most people have been here long enough to accept this reality, but Emma's still thinking of home.]
I'm not gonna pretend that my first instinct wasn't to wallow in my disappointment until my family wakes up, but I know there's a lot to be done here. I've seen all of you getting things done here, and I just wondered... how have you been able to use the skills you learned in your home world to keep you busy in this one?
[ because it's time for her to think about taking on a job, and making a difference, and she's pretty sure that doesn't mean a sheriff's badge and a cruiser anymore. so far, she's been part of the clean-up effort, but she needs something else to get by on.]
Back home, I was the sheriff in a town called Storybrooke, Maine. Here, I don't know. How did you know where to start?

[ magic was a difficult thing at the best of times, and were such a thing to be attempted, he'd have to be careful.
as to her other question. ]
I know not. Though given the tensions between the two realms, I cannot imagine it lasting for long.
[ war seemed to Westerosi wherever they went, intentionally or not. ]
It is a pity they are not allied under the same banner.
no subject
[ if her parents and Regina could learn to work together, anything is possible.
its the numbers that make Emma worry. it's not just dividing people in this world; eventually it'll divide the refugees, too. and asking for everyone to learn to get along is asking for too much when there's a history between them and the people to back it. they're headed towards something.]
It'd be better for all of us if they did.
