Good thing that's over.

[Zelena's doing her best to look completely unimpressed and like she didn't spend the majority of the Christmas season in a dungeon or dealing with goblins when she wasn't trapped in the already mentioned Krampusjail.]

In fact, between this year and last year, I'm rather glad we didn't have nonsense like this where I come from.

[There's probably not Christmas in Oz. If anything, there's probably some sort of horrible holiday called Zelenamas.]

But still, I don't suppose anyone's seen that horrid creature around, have they? I'm assuming he's disappeared with the rest of the...well, I suppose everything except the snow, but I'd certainly like to return the favor if it hasn't.

[...maybe she should've said which creature she meant.]

[ Casual threats are virtually Wonderland's elevator music. After a while you barely even notice them anymore. ]

So I take it that thing paid you a visit? With basket and everything? Because that sounds uncomfortable, to say the least.

[ And rather age-inappropriate, too. Unless turning people into toddlers was part of the charm. That, now that he'd want to murder too. ]

[wickedwest]

Kidnapped me, along with some of the rest of Wonderland.

[And hit her with a stick but let's not bring that up right now.]

[wickedwest]

Almost anything. If you're willing to pay the price.

no hope of scoring something with the bargain bin then i'm guessing
alright maggy hamilton i'll be sure to keep that in mind
btw i'm alex

[thesamurai]

Were you surprised when that thing grabbed you? [Just asking. For a friend.]

[wickedwest]

Not just a visit. It decided to put me in the basket.

[She's still mad about that. Actually, she doesn't think she'll ever stop being mad about that.]

You mean like ruining other people’s lives in the process of getting revenge? Yeah. Pretty sure something named Krampus wouldn’t have cared.

[No one brings out the sass mouth in Henry quite like Zelena.]

[wickedwest]

Zelena.

[She has absolutely no idea who Maggy Hamilton is either. Maybe she should get out more.]

[Alex isn't familiar enough with the concept of Oz, classic as it is, to make any judgment calls on her name. It pains him to let a prime opportunity like that slide, but let it slide he must.]

cool
if i need three wishes i'll give you a holler

[wickedwest]

Surprised it dared to challenge me.

[Yeah, let's just go with that. That's totally why she was surprised.]

[wickedwest]

Wouldn't be much left to ruin by the time I'm through.

[She's just saying. And doesn't really seem bothered by Henry's sass at the moment.]

I'm a witch, not a genie.

[...why is everyone dumb but her

...unless she's the one who's..

Nah, it's clearly everyone else.]

[rosswood]

whatever you say, maggy

[That might just be Alex's nickname for her for...forever, possibly. Sorry, Zelena.]

[madehervows]

[Fuck the greater goodness, she just wants to feed Krampus his own eyes.]

I'll admit, you're a thorn in my side, but that's really all you know how to do. You should just let somebody capable handle it.

[Just gonna brace herself for a speech about being wicked.]

[intelligently]

Sadly that didn't last long. What kidnapped you?

[onevice]

[ welp ]

That... explains it. [ She hadn't seen Krampus herself, but the beast looks awful. Like a troll, or an ogre.

Despite herself, Snow chuckles. ]

Did you make that yourself?

[wickedwest]

I would say I'm more than that to some people.

[Let's go ask Neal.]

But by all means if you're so much more capable than me, feel free to deal with it before I do. It'll just be one more thing that should've been mine and was yours instead.

[Which means more reason to get rid of Regina to...what, exactly? Get revenge on Krampus after being in Krampusjail? She probably didn't think this one through.]

[wickedwest]

[Wow. Now she almost doesn't want to show off the magic Krampus figurine, but she will anyway. While scowling because it's Zelena.]

This thing. And the real shame is that it didn't get you instead.

[wickedwest]

I did. Seems magic makes it far quicker to explain the thing than words do.

[intelligently]

There's probably a reason why it didn't.

[ That is...........

.........an incredibly hilarious mental image, actually. It's probably a good thing Philip's video feed is permanently off.

....All right, deep breath. That's enough of that. ]

Dare I ask what it does to the people it catches? Because somehow I don't get the impression you managed to break free and chop off its head right on the spot.

[ And really, with all that elevator music you'd think differently... ]

[wickedwest]

And what might that be?

[She knows, but she's still going to play dumb.]

[intelligently]

That depends on if it took anyone else.

Imprisoned and occasionally beaten in some sort of attempt to make me renounce my wicked ways.

[If he looks closely enough, the eye rolling she's doing is practically visible among all the sarcasm.]

Didn't work, of course. But if I could have used my magic, it never would've had the chance to begin with.

[wickedwest]

It took quite a few people from what I saw.

[And there's definitely not a hint of bitterness in there. Okay, it's probably more than just a hint.]
