Storybrooke Natives

Tomorrow I will be informing all inhabitants of our lovely town that nominations for a Deputy Mayor are now open. You are the lucky ones who get to find out early. This has been on my mind for quite some time now. And while perhaps choosing candidates from among you may be preferred by most if not all, they won't be. A large amount of the duties I will assign to our future Deputy Mayor will involve the concerns brought forth by our ever fluctuating group of guests.

How're you and your wayward adoptees doing?

PRIVATE TO ROMAN GODFREY
I'm glad you've got your daughter back, kid. If you need anything, let me know. Do not kill the jackass who responded to your post. At least not until I'm off maternity leave.
/PRIVATE

This is officially the last child I am having. The one time I could use some magical help and magic goes down. What's the use of having magical powers if you can't use them to help people with pain?

I'm rather glad that it's cooling down some. Summer has been lovely, but I'm really looking forward to autumn. It's gorgeous when the leaves start changing.

We have some positions open at the library. We've lost some staff due to displacement, so if anyone wants to come work here, they're more than welcome to.

( Rumple )

You need to take a break. You work too much. And I feel like we almost never see each other.

You have two choices. You can agree on your own, or I'll simply have to kidnap you.

We'll be having a spring open house at the library this week. There will be extra books for sale to raise money and there will also be snacks. In addition, there will be applications for anyone interested in jobs here. Everyone is more than welcome to come.

I've been told there are some people in town who are afrai wary of librarians. I promise that I don't mean anyone any harm. I just really love books and want to encourage everyone to appreciate them. I hope we'll see some people there this weekend.

Does anyone happen to have any decent chocolate and/or book recommendations? I’d really appreciate it.

With Valentine's Day coming up, we've decided to do a fundraiser at the library, to help with various programs. We'll be creating personalized valentines to be delivered on the fourteenth. We'll also be selling a selection flowers donated by my father Game of Thorns and baked goods, which will be delivered with the cards.

We just thought this would be a good way to raise money and to help people out. We'll have a full list of baked goods and flower arrangements in the next few days.

( Rumple )

Would you like to do something for Valentine's Day? Or would you prefer to stay in? I don't want to assume anything, but I figured I'd check. I don't really care what we do, so long as I can spend time with you.

So...I need to find a job. I've got training as a waiter and bartender. I can host as well.

Any leads?

Oh what the hell.

This isn't the damn transport ship I was promised.

I think my VM is busted. Again.

Aurora isn't here anymore. Her things are simply gone with her. This is what happens here, people just fade away? How does anyone stand it? At least at home I knew she was safe with her Prince.

There is a ball? I'm not good at balls. Maybe I can stay at the Station so that you can go, Emma?

For those of you who don't know, I'm Belle and I'm the librarian here in Storybrooke. I just wanted to let you know that there will be an open house at the library next weekend. We'll be doing a book fair, where you can take some of the extra books from the library's storage, or donate new books to bring some variety. We'll also be doing a bake sale. It should be really nice. I hope so anyway Hopefully you'll all stop by.

( Ruby )

So...for the bake sale...I might need some help with the baking part. And the sale part. Would you help me?

While it's nice to see familiar faces around this "modern" kingdom, I would not mind a rest from magic for a bit of time.

I believe there was a mention from Henry he wished to have a dinner with all of us.

[Locked to Belle]
I know you've already hired a few people for the library, so if you're tapped out that's fine, but I kind of forgot to ask about getting paid to help with the computerizing? I'll still help if you can't, but if you have a little to spare, I'd appreciate it.

And do you know who has the best cake around here, by any chance?
[/Belle]

[Locked to Stiles, Lydia Martin, Allison Argent, & Cassie Sandsmark]
Anyone want to come along to a party? Commander Shepard is throwing it for one of her crew. It'll probably be pretty low key.

ooc: after this

Did you know? Did you know what was in the basement?

This is so cool.

A friendly reminder to all of our new arrivals that this post is available, outlining work possibilities, should you take it on yourself to help support the community. I highly encourage you to do so.

If you're suffering from time displacement and are struggling with modern technology or language, I suggest asking someone who isn't struggling for help.

I've also taken the time to collect a few questions that I've found being asked quite a bit as everyone gets settled in. You can read them ( here. )

Let me know if you have any concerns to share. Thank you.

I have yet to introduce myself on here, but that's what working with wild magic will do. Takes time. I'm Mr. Gold, I own the pawn shop, among a variety of other properties. I am looking for magical volunteers to investigate the portals, and to possibly give us an early glance at how your magics may interfere with the current tenuous stability.

I suggest any personal questions and concerns you have continue to go to Ms. Swan and Mayor Mills.

Isn't this town starting to burst at its seams? The problem with too many bodies in too little space is that they all use up things. You start to run out of food or whiskey and what choice do you have but to use magic to bring in more? And then the magic goes wrong. Maybe it even brings in more people. And then all the things are gone, and just the people left.

This is how universes end, I think.

Isn't it a good thing we have the Mayor to guide us all through this? I'm sure you'll all want to fall into line behind someone your own stories call The Evil Queen.

I'm planting a vegetable garden. I doubt it will help in time.

[Private to Emma Swan]
Some of them seem to have guns. If they're running around our town and in the woods my house is up against, where my daughter lives, I'd rather you be the only woman with a gun. I can keep my own.

I'm sorry about Henry, for what it's worth. He's a good kid.

I just wanted to take a minute to extend a warm welcome to all of our new neighbours here! I know Storybrooke is a small town, and very different to what a lot of you are used to, but I hope you'll enjoy your stay with us.

My name is Belle, and I'm opening the library under the clock tower once it's up to scratch. It's still a little dusty in there, and I have a lot of books to index before the place is fit for the public. I want to set up a few fun events for the library for bookish types, like a book club, or meetings for fans of particular series, that sort of thing. I'm going to be looking for some staff to help me run the place too, so if you're interested, drop me a line!

Additionally, if anyone brought books with them that they would like to share with other people, I'd be happy to set up a system for that!
