^This. 😀
This may not be funny if you have never played one of those RPG games, like final fantasy or one of the MMO style ones–but I had this image of EQ & Rump are dark magic users, Hook is the thief, Charming is the warrior tank,Snow is the archer/range fighter & Emma is a hybrid white magic healer-fighter paladin. I may be unfairly putting my own geeky experience on that of the writers, but it is an oddly common set up of RPG archetypes.
Slurpeez, that is a good point–we need to see how far the curse went. We have discussed if it hit only FTL and then selectively grabbed those on EQ’s peeved at list. Yet it is interesting that EQ felt she had to kill her mother rather than write the curse to exclude her. I still want to know the scope of the curse!
