"Not seen it, but know the music from it a little. Think I had an old music box that played it" though that was long lost to time now, sad really. "Classical music is very beautiful though. Used to know someone who'd play all sorts of records" well her son had known him better, but he had always been kind enough whenever Sal had done business. Turned out he'd not been aware of their actual situation.

"It was a piece from Swan Lake, it's one of my favorite ballets. Have you ever seen it?" Asked Francesca, a warm smile on her face, as bright blue eyes look up enthusiastically.

@bxttersweetandstrxnge (Adam & Sally)

Her life in Ivy Cove had been so drastically different and yet so eerily the same. Sally hadn't seen Adam since her memories had returned, she hadn't thought too much of him until recently to be honest. Their children were grown and out, they didn't have much reason to cross paths anymore. Life was funny that way. One moment your lives are inexplicably intertwined, the next you might as well be strangers. They probably wouldn't have had much need to see each other again until a birthday, wedding or baby shower. If there wasn't the glaring fact that she now had no clue who she had actually been married too. She definitely wasn't the woman he knew, not really. She had reached out to only receive silence, so she decided to track him down herself. Luckily, she knew a few spots to look and it didn't take long for her to spot a familiar form from behind. "You know, you should probably change your regular haunts if you want to avoid me." She half joked walking up behind her Ex. "Is this seat taken?" She asked but didn't bother waiting for an answer as she slid in next to him.

.｡.:*☆ "Hey, sorry to bother you." Charlie had been coming in to do some shopping, but now it seemed she had to take care about some other issues first. Because, no, she could not just turn a blind eye at the chaos, even when others would.

"But have you seen what happened in the corner over there? Like, I hope someone only spilled something but it is really a mess and someone should clean it up," She therefore told Gabrielle, already feeling sorry for being the bearer of bad news here.

Gabrielle knew who she was, at least she liked to think she knew. It's hard, having two lives in conflict. One life, a former model, married to the love of her life with two daughters...the other a single mother doing her best. She walked around the shop, making sure all operations ran smoothly, in her store. Her mind was everywhere at once.

"Sorry what?" She says, hearing someone else's voice.

.｡.:*☆ "A bet?" Head tilted to the side, Crowley had watched everything going on for a couple of minutes already when the other had decided to speak up to him. It was sort of entertaining, and so far, no one had labelled him as a creep for watching children playing in the park, so, all was good.

"Well, depends on the bet," The demon then mused, shrugging casually. "And on what I will get after I won, of course."

Mammon mostly kept to himself, even as he watched his kids playing in the park. Green eyes watching with pride, as his little girl wins the race. He laughs, holding out his hand to another parent....who gives him money. After counting it, he hands his daughter money.

"Go on kiddo, get some ice cream for your troubles." Said Mammon, the little girl smiles and runs off. The King of Greed continues counting his money. "Ah humans, so ready to just toss their money away on a good gamble. "

He paused, and looked to a random passerby.

"Care for a bet? Your choice." Said the sin.

.｡.:*☆ Leo jumped, startled, almost landing on his butt but managing to regain his balance before it was too late.

"No worry mate, nothing happened," He chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. His training in camp was what had saved him here, most likely. "You okay though?" he asked, knowing people often ended up running into toerhs because their mind was somewhere else far, far away.

It's hard, looking into mirrors now. He knows now what should be staring back at him is....a seven foot tall purple monster with big horns. Not....a human. It's weird and strange and, he sighs as he looks away from his reflection. One thing he does know..he does need to find a way home....right?

"Oh! Hey sorry." He says, when in his absentmindedness he's bumped into someone

"Suppose that's another word for it" he wasn't sure he agreed with it, though he supposed there was something nice enough about it. "Let me ask you this. If someone told you this a month or two ago, would you believe any of it?" right now he wasn't sure how he was meant to believe any of it, not when none of it seemed to make any sense. He had family afterall.

"Mother says she and father found it charming. Well..I know it sounds crazy, just a month ago I believed the same thing. I believed that I was someone else, with a whole other life and memories inside of my head....I don't know how I remembered...but I hope you do soon." Said Francesca softly.

If there was one thing he hated, it was clothes shopping. He supposed if he did ever run into Regina again, he should thank her for least giving him a decent wardrobe in Storybrooke. Though there was a lot of other things he wanted to say to her, and none would be quite as polite. Alas here it seemed shopping was more often required, which wasn't easy when he realised he was being ignored.

"That's what happens when you get two lives in your head. Nothing makes sense, everything makes sense, and reality is lost" or it had been for him, though perhaps that was more to do with living the same day for nearly thirty years. "Scarves, do you them?"

Yes, there had been a lot of interesting places where Remy had gambled over the years, but he had not quite expected to get an offer to do so in the middle of the park in broad daylight. "A bet?" He repeated, looking curiously at the guy as he came closer. "I'm always down for a bet, o' course, but jus' what is dere t' bet on here? Which squirrel is gonna get up de tree faster? Is dat dog over dere gonna pick up a big stick or a li'l one? Or are we talkin' 'bout indulgin' in a game or two o' chance?"

Robin had only intended on walking through the park, he didn't have much desire to get involved in anything there. It was kind of nice though, just seeing normal life and people having fun. Perhaps once he had wanted that, just a nice quiet life. It was never going to happen though, not when people still suffered.

At the question he paused for a moment. That could easily be useful, and a way he could get more help to someone else. But he also knew never to take things at face value. A useful lesson from the Sheriff he supposed. "Depends, I don't really go in to things without knowing all the risks involved".

"Oh this isn't my shop" and she had simply got distracted by the music. It wasn't something she was used to hearing. One of her brothers had liked music once but... well that wouldn't really help him in the battle for being the next heir. "What was it? My classical music knowledge is... lacking a little".

"Oh dear, I...I do apologize." Said Francesca, as she played the piano....right in the store, where she most likely was not supposed to. Even so, her blue eyes looked down at the floor while she stood. "It's just that, it helps keep me calm."

"That... did they just use the alphabet to name their children? I can't decide if that's lazy or genius" and probably the least important part right now, but he was still trying to understand everything she was saying. Mostly because none if it made any sense. "That does sound like me... least the first two" had he been a good brother? He didn't believe so, not anything special anyway. "But that isn't something anyone would just forget, and I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about".

"I can't prove it as of right now, but..you are my brother." She says earnestly, hoping to awaken some sort of memory, any memory at all. "You're the son of Viscount Edmund Bridgerton and his wife, Viscountess Violet Bridgerton. You have one older brother..Anthony, and six younger brothers and sisters. Colin, Daphne, Eloise, myself, Gregory, and Hyacinth. You're an artist, a poet, you're a wonderful older brother.....and I hope you remember."

[violentdelightstheseviolentends]

"My memories? Course I do" least no one had told him that he was suffering from amnesia anyway. Least he didn't think he was, there wasn't any obvious gaps in his mind, so why someone would think that he was their brother he didn't know. "Alright... maybe less memories than I thought" he knew his family, and he didn't remember a sister called Francesca. "You're right, I don't. You sure I'm the right person?"

"Do...do you not have your memories?" She asks, remembering the precarious situation, well..all of them were currently in. The one she'd been free from only a few days ago. They were without memories, and surely that could be the only explanation, for why he didn't recognize her. "It's rather...hard to explain but...I'm your sister...Francesca. Right now, you don't know me...or rather can't remember."

[violentdelightstheseviolentends]

Even as time went on, it wasn't easy to adjust to being human again. It was cold more than anything else. Still, he had at least thought it would mean he took up less space, right now it didn't much seem like luck was on his side when he felt someone bump into him.

"It's fine... it was an accident, right?" he just about managed to say. There was no point getting angry with people, though where that change of attitude had come from, he couldn't remember.

Hearing his name he turned, not really knowing what to expect. He knew this town had been strange recently, but it hadn't really affected him that much. Least until right now. Pretty enough girl, but he didn't recognise her. "Yes? Did you need something?"

" Ben!" Exclaimed Francesca at the sight of one of her older brothers. A grin on her face, as she advances towards him. She's ready to envelop her brother in a hug...but something seems just...a little bit off. "Ben?"
