[ Finding some kind of tolerable routine here and sticking to it has been pretty much touch and go for Jefferson. He has good days-- more good days than in Storybrooke, strangely, even with Grace's absence an ever-present wound to his spirit-- but the bad are enough to knock him out of sorts for a while.

Today's a good day, though, and Jefferson celebrates it by crawling out of isolation and returning to the world of the living. He's never been the best with money even when every copper counted, and in Storybrooke, he was afforded ludicrous wealth, so... Yeah, budgeting's not his strong suit, and he's not thinking twice before grabbing the things that strike his fancy: clothes, scarves, cologne, this and that.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, there's Victor, who he spots in the shop, seemingly caught in a loop of indecision. ]


You seem stumped.

[ That's it. No other introduction. Just Jefferson walking up behind Victor and speaking his observation. ]

[ His brow lifts. 'Someone,' but clearly not Lucy. Presumably not a woman, either, judging by the stuff Victor's looking at. So this is already 100% more interesting than Jefferson's own shopping, and he leans down to look at the displays. ]

Someone, huh? What kind of someone?

[ DISH. HE'S BORED AND HAS SO LITTLE TO OCCUPY HIM. Your love life is now his primary source of entertainment, pal. ]

Flowers. [ Jefferson wrinkles his nose and shakes his head. ] Definitely don't do flowers, unless there's a story behind them. 'Oh, I picked these from the poppy fields of Oz...'

[ A line he'd used once. (It was a total lie.) ]

What does he like? No, wait. What's he like?

[ Honestly, Jefferson's track record with relationships is basically nonexistent outside of his one true love experience. Lots of nothing flings, maybe a fwb here and there, and then he fell hard and fast for Priscilla. And then it's been tumbleweeds since her death.

Basically: Victor's right to feel dubious about his advice. ]


You seem utterly smitten. [ It's adorable. He recognizes this, from the way he used to talk about Priscilla to others, before they'd ever even started their courtship. Jefferson picks up a bottle of fancy aftershave, as if inspecting it. ] Hm. What to get the perfect man... [ Just a hint of teasing there. ]

[ Jefferson shrugs and sets the bottle down. ]

Fair enough. Daughters are more my area of expertise, anyway.

[ He casts a sidelong glance at Victor. ]

At least tell me his name. What he does. How you met. [ He gestures vaguely. ] I could use some good gossip.

[ Wait whoa what. Jefferson blinks. ]

Me? Why?

[ Which is a redundant question. After all, Victor just said why. And yet, Jefferson has to ask, anyway, surprised that anyone would want him to look after a kid after how monumentally he failed as a father with Grace.

The good news is, this distracts him from the subject of Jim for now. YOU'RE FREE FROM HIS INTERROGATION, VICTOR. ]

[The shops are still a confusing experience for Zelda. They're just... so large, with so many items on sale, that she hardly knows how anyone finds what they need. Lately she's taken to trying the smaller boutiques, feeling they're less intimidating.

It's in one of these that she comes across Victor, frowning at one of the displays. She puts the book she was leafing through back on the shelf, giving him a politely questioning look.]


Trying to choose something?

[The most noteworthy thing about her is her long ears - it makes her stand out, she knows, among a lot of the populace. Zelda nods her agreement, taking to the topic with interest.]

There are a lot, aren't there? And that's in addition to the Quarantine's own resources and items. I find it's hard to tell where everything is from, at first glance. It's all so new to me.

[Zelda has to laugh at that, because it's so familiar a grievance.]

I know what you mean; I would never have space for all the things I see here that I'd like to collect. [She tilts her head curiously, following up with a question.] You've been to many worlds then? Even before this place?

Wow... [It still sounds like a lot to Zelda.] I've met someone else here who says they've visited many worlds. For what reason would people travel to another world where you're from?

[The idea of whole worlds being prisons sobers Zelda up quickly. It's a dark notion, to have need of something like that. Still, it mustn't be all of them.]

You're a scientist then? It's a marvellous concept to me, being able to ask those of other worlds for their expertise to help in your own. Like travelling to an entirely different country on a much larger scale.

[Her eyes widen, and then she lets out a startled laugh.]

No, probably not! There's a legend in my world about another realm that could be reached through a mirror, but it's likely not the same thing.
