[The video clicks on and off a few times until Elsa's face is finally visible. Even though it's night, it's easy to make out that she's outside and in the gardens. The area has been blasted with ice, and Elsa looks like she's about to panic. She's been here for hours now and can't find her sister. Going through one portal into another world without her sister has set her off, and her recently practiced control has slipped. She's furious to be kept away from Anna once again, and the thick ice blanketing the fountain, ground, and flowers shows that.]

I've had experience with magical talking devices like this before. There isn't an Emma button on this one, but I know someone will be able to hear me.

[Her emotion builds and the ice spreads out further, crackling beneath her feet.]

I'm looking for my sister. Anna, where is she? She should have stepped through the portal here moments after I did. I've been here for hours and haven't seen her. We were just reunited after thirty years apart, and I can't lose her again.

[She knows enough now to not freeze over the mansion and threaten everyone inside, but she will need some answers before she can control her emotions and call the ice away.]

[ooc: This is open to network responses and action!]

[There are a few things that make him take note. The word 'sister', still something that strikes a chord, but tied into that is something that's definitely interesting and he leans forward, arching his eyebrows.]

You meant to come here?

[cryogene]

[Success! Elsa looks so happy that someone's responded to her. But the smile that's there melts to a frown when his question sinks in.]

We thought we were going home, to Arendelle. It's where the portal was supposed to lead to, but somehow I ended up here. Without Anna.

[catchacold]

[People are rarely this happy to see him, so he's momentarily startled before just accepting it and nodding.]

That's how it goes. Not the portal and Arendelle, but everyone just ends up here. No trip down the rabbit hole first either, bit of a let down.

Your sister might show up eventually. Never know.

[jivitadana]

[It's at night, but Minato isn't asleep at this hour. He arrived at night too, so it was, he presumed, normal for someone to show up at all hours of the day anyway.]

I can help you look? What does she look like?

[Minato didn't think though that he noticed anyone else arriving with her, but that wasn't to say she wasn't here.]

[cryogene]

[Someone who can help! Elsa's smile is strained but it's friendly.]

Anna is about as tall as I am, and has red hair that she wears in braids. She may be with a man named Kristoff. We were all supposed to be going home together.

[Zelena just sort of squints at the feed for a while, trying to place the face and then...oh. Wow, that felt like a lifetime ago.]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your portal's been redirected.

[She doesn't sound particularly sorry. It happens. That's what happened to her the last time she canon updated, so tone aside, she actually is a little sympathetic here. Just a little though.]

[cryogene]

[Someone who knows about portals! Elsa's face lights up with a hopeful smile.]

I assumed that was the case.

[It's said with a flat kind of humor. There's a wave of her hand, and the ice all vanishes.]

Do you know if there's a way to create a new one? As...lovely as the gardens are, I can't stay here.

[divaricate]

[Someone separated from their sibling is something Wanda can relate to -- though hopefully this woman's sibling is alive and well somewhere.]

This is a world that seems to be ... outside of everyone else's. [She hates giving bad news.] Though it is possible that you sister may show up sometime as well. What does she look like? [She can offer to keep an eye out.]

[cryogene]

I was just in a world that was outside of my own.

[And she was gone for so long. It's well past time that she got back.]

Anna is not much shorter than I am, and wears her red hair in braids. She's likely wearing a snowflake necklace that I gave her, and she may be with a man named Kristoff.

[interpersonal]

[ elena is pinged by elsa's post right away.

her expression is one of concern, and not without kindness. she has several questions. elsa mentions a portal, but no one has ever meant to come here. more importantly, elsa is looking for her sister. thirty years is a long time to be separated from the person you love most, but this woman looks so young.

elena's first thought upon finding herself in wonderland was inevitably her own sibling, jeremy. instinctively, she wants to help. ]

Did you find her?

[cryogene]

[By the time Elsa responds, she's resigned herself to the fact Anna isn't here right now.]

No. Whether I like it or not, Anna isn't here right now. She may be in the future, but I hope that she made it home so she can have the wedding she's been dreaming of.

[She's grateful so many people here are willing to help and be kind though. It makes her feel like there's hope that she'll be able to either find her sister or open a new portal and get back home soon.]

[determinedest]

[The video feed that snaps up in response is of a small child with an expression that can only be described as quietly apologetic. They're decidedly ambiguous in essentially every respect, but they do look appropriately very sorry.]

Sometimes people don't show up. Or when they do, it's...not until later.

[cryogene]

[Oh! A child. Elsa's expression softens until she looks concerned that a child looks so apologetic. Children shouldn't ever have to worry this way but she knows from experience that it happens.]

Well, I'm sure if Anna's found her way here she will be the one that finds me. She has a habit of surprising me.

[naughty_nurse]

Eh...? ... M-Miss Elsa...?

[You see, a long time ago, there was another Elsa here, but she was a bit more animated. *rimshot* So Mikan is considerably confused, but a little happy, since she rather enjoyed her company last time.]

[cryogene]

Yes?

[Elsa isn't used to being addressed as Miss, but she never frowns upon politeness. ]

Have we met before?

[Maybe they're from Storybrooke and they met each other in passing.]

[heroica]

Thirty years? [ Robyn thinks of her own sibling, her brother, and how she isn't likely to see him again -

No, better not. She manages a little smile. ]

What does Anna look like? I can help you find her, if you like.

[cryogene]

There was a spell that caused us to be separated for a very long time.

[That's a little awkward to talk about, so she just moves on past it.]

I really should draw a picture of Anna to help with looking for her.

[That gives her something to do once she calms down and heads inside.]

But she's about the same height as I am, and has red hair that she wears in braids. She's likely wearing a snowflake necklace I gave her, and may be in the company of a man named Krisfoff.

[henrydaniel]

[ Henry was not expecting this for some reason. Not that people from all over home and it's varying worlds don't show up here, but he's just gotten into the mindset that no one is ever going to show up again. That's why when he sees the video, he just squints at the background until he realizes where Elsa is, then poofs himself there - far away enough that he doesn't startle her, and then jogs toward her. ]

Elsa! Do you remember me?

[ He's really hoping she does, that might make things easier even as he kind of slides on the ice a little but keeps his balance. ]

[cryogene]

[Elsa's very fond of Henry. Not only is he Emma's son, but he's a bright boy, one who makes himself useful. Elsa wishes she could have been more like him at his age. She's never been so happy to see Henry though.

Smiling, she calls away the ice immediately with a wave of her hand. She doesn't want him to slip and fall!]

Henry?

[Thinking this must mean that Emma is here too, she rushes forward so she can embrace him. Quickly, because hugs are difficult.]

Of course I remember you. How could I possibly ever forget?

[chocolatepudding]

[ Magic portal? Sounds awful familiar. Not the words, but stuff like gateways. People stepping into it-- ]

Do you mean the Upside Down?

[ Worth a shot, and woah, hey he had no idea it had snowed. weird. ]

[cryogene]

[What an adorable child. Elsa isn't sure what he's asking about but she smiles anyway. She can't be intense when talking to a little boy. It would be horrible of her.]

Is the Upside Down anywhere near Arendelle or Misthaven?

[krmvgivv]

[....oh man, Elsa's back, Mabel will be so happy.

Dipper's already done his totally lacking tact welcome for the day, so as it is he gives an awkward half-smile and a wave.]

I'm afraid there isn't an Anna here, but she might show up? You... do not look old enough to have been missing your sister for thirty years, though.

[cryogene]

[His answer makes her smirk. He's certainly charming in an outspoken sort of way.]

Well, I am almost thirty. Only a year or so away. I could have been separated from Anna since I was young.

[She lets that have a second to sink in.]

It was a spell that kept us apart for that long. I was trapped in an urn and Anna was frozen at home in our kingdom.

[plutonicideals]

I don't know anything about an Anna, but I'll keep an eye out for her. Promise.

[madehervows]

[Regina almost ignores the broadcast until a very specific term sinks in. 'Emma button.' Who let the pirate teach anybody about phones? Still, she's glad it means Elsa will know who she is.]

Elsa? Your sister's not here, I'm afraid.

[Might as well get all the bad news out of the way.]

Neither is Emma.
