If going back to the Enchanted Forest means living without toilets, I don’t want it.

Right? I’m not entirely sure how any of us properly survived without modern day plumbing. It’s honestly something I think about regularly. No toilets, showers, means of easily cleaning dishes and clothes... H O W? It wouldn’t be ideal to go back.

[askpipdarcy]

Would you consider Storybrooke as your home?

Most definitely. I completely understand we were all transported here under circumstances that are ultimately less than ideal. And while nearly three decades were spent not exactly living here, we were still living here. Once we were able to have all of our memories restored, it all just sort of made sense. Plus, modern plumbing. I don't think I'm quite ready - nor will I ever be - to go back to the way we lived in the Enchanted Forest. It was special, and obviously a means of growing, but listen... Electricity, showers, pizza and comfortable beds. Are you willing to give that up? Because I'm stuck on the whole comfortable bed part right now. A sac full of hay is definitely not the same as the mattress we've all come to love. And I refuse to hear anyone say otherwise because they'd be lying through their teeth.

[askpipdarcy]

What would you name Dark Hollow if you could name it anything?

That all depends on what exactly Dark Hollow is, honestly. They had a retirement home named Shady Pines on The Golden Girls that was questionable at best, but it was something people were more than okay with leaving their family at even if it had a 'darker' name. Would I want to leave my grandmother there? Would I maybe want to bring a flashlight along just in case? I have a slew of questions.

[askpipdarcy]

Has Storybrooke really been a better place with the Charmings, Rumpelstiltskin, and Regina gone?

I wouldn't go as far as to say better, but it has certainly been different.

[askpipdarcy]

Did you know that there is a cloaking spell around the town?

I'm pretty sure anyone who was outside or near a window could have told you some sort of magic was put in place as a beam of something shot out of the middle of nowhere and created what looked like a dome around the area. Did I know it was a cloaking spell in general? No, but it would make sense given what's been going on. Could you imagine if magic wasn't visible? I mean the trail it brings/leaves behind. People would literally be able to get away with murder.

If everyone’s lives were judged as to whether they had made a net positive or a net negative impact on humanity, how would you be judged?

Most likely a 'net negative' if I'm being honest here. I'd like to think I bring a little bit of positivity to my friends' lives, even if it's sometimes all over the place, and I do try to include random people in shenanigans when we're all out having a good time. However, aside from my job, what other types of positivity do I have on humanity? EH? Cue tonight's existential crisis.

[askpipdarcy]

Would you ever tell your deepest darkest secret to save someone even if it meant possibly hurting the ones you loved?

I'm pretty much an open book, these days, so there wouldn't be anything revolutionary said in terms of 'deepest darkest.' However, I suppose in such an instance it would depend on who needed to be saved.

[askpipdarcy]

Do you believe that honor transcends death, or that honor is something that causes death? Why?

It's honestly situational. There are obviously times where those of honor live on past their expiry date because everything they've done for good has brought on stories that will be told for generations to come... And then of course, there are those of honor who have literally done something that has brought on said date. I'd like to think everyone wants to die with honor, but I feel it's up to that person as to what they find to be honorable or not. If that makes sense. For example, holding the door open for someone is honorable, yes? Now, if holding the door open made it so someone was out in the open and exposed to something that could cause their death, is that something that will keep people talking? How long does the story of the person who was hit by a car, holding the door, carry on? But on the other hand, a story of someone who continuously put themselves in to 'the line of fire' because they thought it was the honorable thing to do would eventually gain enough momentum to live on - or one would hope they would.

[askpipdarcy]

Have you ever lost hope in something or someone?

Hasn't everyone? I know there are super positive people amongst us, but there's got to be something out there there's had their positivity falter at least a little with hopelessness... or perhaps that's something I tell myself to sleep better at night. None the less, yeah, of course. Just this morning I lost hope in the fact that those I work with are decent human beings who refill the coffee pot when they've used the last of it until someone actually did so. I was getting ready to do so and someone rounded back to do it, though. It was a 'faith in humanity' restored moment.

[askpipdarcy]

Have you ever felt 'lost'?

More often than I can count, honestly.

[askpipdarcy]

Would you sacrifice a family member to save someone you care for?

I don't think I can properly answer this one, honestly. It's one of those where you would have to be put into said situation in order to know what you would actually do because I can say no, given that I love my family, but then hand them all over in the heat of the moment... even if handing them all over would literally be overkill. I’ve also come to hold some of my friends just as high, if not higher, than some people I’m related to.

[askpipdarcy]

How easily do you forgive someone?

What exactly would I be needing to forgive them for? Because that would honestly be information needed as to whether I say that I would drop the subject like a hot potato or the person. No, but seriously, I’m usually the forgiving type, but there are some things that could be said or done that would toss that whole notion out the window.

[askpipdarcy]

What type of Wand do you have?

11 ¾" larch wood with a phoenix feather core. 

[askpipdarcy]

Have you thought about trying out to be on the Quidditch team?

Not at all. Hogwarts' version of Quidditch is not something I'm used to, so partaking in the game would probably consist of points being taken from Hufflepuff for doing something crazy in the field.

[askpipdarcy]

What would you see in the mirror of Erised?

Who willingly spills their deepest desires?

[askpipdarcy]

Are you able to see Thestrals? If you do, how did the person you saw die?

Not at the moment, and I thank everything for that. They sound terrifying.

[askpipdarcy]

Have you ever been inside the Forbidden Forest? What do you think is in there?

Hasn't anyone ever told you that incriminating oneself is just plain dumb?
