The Doorway: a panfandom game

I gotta get outta here for a little while.

Got me a tent, got my bow, got a fishin' pole. 'M Goin' huntin' for the weekend.

FILTERED TO ONCE UPON A TIMERS (MINUS MARY MARGARET) & FRIENDS OF SNOW WHITE:

I figured since we've lost not just David but also Mary Margaret's best friend, Ruby, that maybe we could get together and do something together. Have one of those dinners even if Granny's isn't around. There's bound to be something similar. It's NYC, right?

FILTERED TO MARY MARGARET:

How are you feeling?

[Filtered against Regina TO all OuAT Characters]

So, I think I missed something. Is Regina somehow good now?

[Filtered to Snow/Mary Margaret]

I'm sorry to hear that DavidCharming David left.

Let me know if I can do anything?

A TV show. I watched the first episode last night. Not sure it was a good idea.

Apparently there's also a movie about me where I'm played by Thor.

So I died and woke up in...New York?

I got a job. I was wandering around the city yesterday and I found a bakery by that big park. Central Park? It's just a little shop that's been run by the same family for a long time, but the owners are getting older and their kids didn't want to bake, and they told me the economy has been hard on them. Their granddaughter recognized me and said I could bake, so I showed them. I felt really bad taking their money for this when they don't have a lot to spare, but I told them they can advertise my cheese bread and cakes if it would help, so that's what we're going to do. They're okay with me staying in the back and not dealing with any customers. The attention is really distracting for everyone, so it's better this way.

It's called Stella's. I have to go back tomorrow morning. I hope I can help

( Now, see. Much more accurate then the one wearing purple tights. )

I'll be horribly depressed that it's not for sale as soon as I stop laughing.

[FILTERED TO OUAT PEOPLE]

I'm morbidly curious which of you are masochistic types. Who intends to watch the show?

Who: The whole game!
When: Leading up to Christmas
Where: Under tree. Delivered with bows.
What: Christmas presents!
Rating: Who knows!

Because this game is massive, and even if everyone just sent ONE package to anyone, it would end up being 300+ posts in the community. So to save our friends lists from imploding, we the moderators are asking that you fill out this form and reply HERE. It'll make it easier to find (Control-F is a lovely thing!) and we won't have to abuse our scroll button. Here's how we're going to do it. You will post for one character with everything that they got for their friends/family/etc. Make sure to tag your character as soon as you get their information up! <b>Character name:</b> Name! <b>GIFTS:</b> • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present.

The streets and shops are absolute madness. People running about carrying way more bags and boxes than they should, and all complaining because they've spent too much money. I thought people were supposed to be happy and cheerful this time of year.

Since I've decided that I'm going to accept the fact that I am here and not going to go back home anytime soon, I'm going to get a Christmas tree. A real one. I saw artificial ones in the shops and I think they defeat the purpose.

Anyone up for a trip out in the wilderness for a tree hunt? I'm good with an axe.

I've heard there are people here who are into archery. Most notably some lady named Katniss and a man called Hawk Eye? Are either of you, or any others interested in opening up some kind of an archery/sports store with me? Where we make and sell bows, arrows, and the like, and also give lessons to people interested in learning? We could expand to other hunting sports as well.

I've got to do something in this place, and I don't think I could run a shop like this on my own.

Right so they said to introduce myself. I'm Alex - Alexandra Udi-Alex. Anything else you really want to know about me you can apparently google. So much for secrets in these parts I guess.

This wasn't the way I wanted to visit New York City.  We aren't supposed to be able to leave Storybrooke.  Not precisely how I'd have chosen to be welcomed, either.

I've been told that my wife fiancé and daughter are here, however, which is certainly a relief, or will be, as soon as I find them.  I'm S- Thomas.

There is no real Quidditch here.

This is beyond tragic.

Last portal I traveled through was a long time ago. That aside I was in the middle of helping my son and do not enjoy being interrupted. As beautiful as this city is I would rather be back in Storybrooke.

So apparently, in my world I'm dead. I guess being here isn't so bad now. I don't want to get sent back, just to be nonexistent. I suppose this means I should thank the ones who brought me here, so, thank you.

One another note, three women stopped me in the street today and attempted to hug me. What in hell's name is up with that?

I just have to say. I LOVE the idea of this Christmas. Oh man, guys, you are going to be SO SPOILED.

SORRY Four, Tris, I just cannot seem to help myself. I need a job to fund this... goodness this is fun

WOOOOoooooOO! Also decorating is fun!!! and have you discovered Eggnog guys? Oh. My. God. So. Delicious.

I think I'm getting used to living by myself now. Even though it's really boring in here sometimes, it is peaceful.

Might be time to go out and buy Christmas decorations. I'm a bit hesitant about buying a tree though, it's not easy to forget the time you're almost killed by one.

Still, this room could really use festive decoration.

Anyone like to join me?

( Cut for Once Upon a Time Spoilers )

So, this really wasn't what I expected when I got up this morning.

I'm not sure what to say. Hi, my name is Allison Argent, and I'm apparently a character on a TV show?

This all feels like a weird, lengthy dream. That looks to be pretty par for the course here, but still. I guess New York City's a pretty great place to end up if you're going to get sucked through space, though? Far cry from Beacon Hills, but I can't say I'm going to complain about that. It's been a while since I've been in a real city. Not that Beacon Hills is that small, but it's not really anything compared to NYC or any other major city. So. Yeah.

So let me get this right. I go out on a mission to find my heart, which I have only just found out has been stolen from me, and I end up here in this manic city with a collection of people who are, or were, believed to only exist in imaginary places - myself included.

Well, what the fuck. I really don't have time for this. I have a mission to accomplish.
