I don't want to be the one the battles always choose

'cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused

This world was completely strange, but at least the books he'd gone over in the hotel room at Granny's was helping a great deal with figuring out how some of the things worked here. Everything seemed just so much more... advanced. It appeared technology was another type of magic around here.

Cyrus had pondered over how to get out of this cursed land, and had come up with no solution. The rabbit wasn't hear to dig them their way out, and it appeared everyone else in this town happened to be just as bound. The only thing was Cyrus believed they actually belonged here, even though Alice and he did not. Cyrus wasn't even aware that this land hadn't always held magic.

He had left the hotel room early this morning, leaving a note on the pillow for when Alice was to wake up to let her know where he was. When he'd gotten up this morning, he'd went downstairs to get the two of them food only to run into a guy named Zanith. After some polite conversation, Cyrus began to open up about how they had no where to go in this world. That's when Zanith told him he should see his boss and gave him directions even he, who'd never been around here, could understand.

Cyrus followed them all the way to Mr. Gold's Pawn Shop. Back in Agrabah, he remembered a few of the marketplaces having stands to pawn things. Usually the owners were greedy, always trying to rip you off. Given that, he already had a bad vibe about this place. Regardless, he needed the help.

He pushed open the door, listening to the little bell ring. "Hello?" He spoke, looking from left to right. This place was filled with all kinds of odds and ends. "Is anyone here?"

Gold needed to either turn the sign around and close the shop, or he needed to stop practicing magic in the back of the shop. He was going to go mad if people kept interrupting him. Well, he was already mad, but he was going to get worse regardless. Never had his shop been busier. First, he just had to go and save that girl his son wanted him to save (not that he was complaining about it),then Gilgamesh had to come and interrupt his potion-making, then the potion wasn’t working right, it wasn’t giving off that greenish glow it needed. Then when he finally finished it, Belle wasn’t happy with him, and for good reason but he was still not happy about it. And so now Gold was sulking, boiling up a plan to kidnap Oliver, bind him and make him beg for mercy. Because that was the only thing that could bring him joy at this point. And right now? He couldn’t care if Belle wouldn’t be happy with it. He was just… not in a good mood.

Gold made his way to the front of his shop, cane in hand, even though he didn’t need it, and a scowl to match his mood. Whoever was there was going to have to have a really good excuse for being here, or he might just take his anger out on this intruder. However, those few seconds that it took to walk from the back to the front of the shop helped him calm his rage, and while he was still scowling, Gold assured himself he would not attack the customer. It would ruin his plans for later. For freeing himself from his dagger. No, no, he had to lie low. He knew what was going to happen in Storybrooke and he needed to be a neutral party.

“What can I do for you?” Gold said resting his hands on his cane, stopping at the door to the back of the shop.

As he walked a few steps further into the shop, Cyrus brushed his hand over a curious looking book. Everything in here looked so old and unique. Some of it even looked as though it could have belonged to a place similar to his own world. It made Cyrus wonder if perhaps the owner of this shop new some kind of secret to traveling the worlds. Of course, he realized that everyone in this town seemed to be belong here, having no idea what Cyrus was talking about when he tried to explain where he'd come from to a few of the citizens that stopped to talk to him. Still, if he and Alice didn't belong here, it wasn't that out of the ordinary to think that there could be another.

Cyrus still couldn't quite get used to the clothing of this land. Everything felt too tight and constricting. He was used to basically elastic waste-bands and flowing shirts. Why did these people choose to dress like they did? Their women seemed to enjoy even tighter clothing and things that brought out their more feminine qualities. That, he really didn't understand. It was as if they were all having a contest to see who'd be able to be the top requested in their local brothel. Some were worse than the local tavern women back in Agrabah.

He looked up as an older man entered the room through another door. Ah, he fit the description he'd been looking for. Elegant, rich, and a tad scary. Cyrus gave him a friendly smile. "Excuse me, Sir. I am sorry to bother you, but I've been told that this is the place to go if I need to strike up a deal."

Gold took a couple of steps towards the newcomer. It was curious. Gold knew everyone in Storybrooke, and everyone knew about him. And yet that didn’t seem the case both ways around. A newcomer. So many newcomers. They would be coming to Storybrooke, but the curse wasn’t broken, they shouldn’t have to worry about it. Only those who were native to a land with magic should be able to enter Storybrooke, like Emma or Baelfire. That had to mean they were from this town and somehow he didn’t know the newcomer, or he was from a land with magic. Whatever the case, he would have to find out, though the latter was the one Gold had a feeling had to be the case. But he had to be sure.

“You’ve come to the right place,” Gold said gesturing with his free hand as he reached a position a foot or two away from the man who had wandered into his place. Gold wondered if he was from a magical land, how he got here, and how he could use him. Would he know who the Dark One was? Would he be afraid of him? Would he be willing to strike up a bargain if he knew it? Probably not. The name the Dark One didn’t exactly say ‘you can trust me’, but Gold hadn’t too many problems before. “I don’t believe we’ve met. Who are you and what can I help you with?”
