welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

While I know it means nothing here... I'm a Tarsus IV survivor. One of nine. Most of the younger kids assigned to me died while we were being hunted through the colony. I still, occasionally, have nightmares.

I feel like Khan and I are two halves of the same coin. If things had been different we could've been friends. If I kept heading down the same path I would've been him. It helps that he was attractive.

I don't know how to feel about the fictional thing. I don't know how to feel about the 'original series'. I worry I'll never live up to that version of me.

I miss my crew but I'm glad Carol is here.

This wasn't the Caribbean last time, and it isn't this time either, loves.

Whoever invented frozen coffee drinks is a genius.

Just saying.

I don't suppose there is anyone who is actually spending Valentine's Day without a date? But, if there is? Perhaps we should all get together somewhere and have a night off.

Unless someone else has an idea for the single members of Storybrooke?

Right then. Hello. I'm The Doctor. Some of you know this, some of you don't. Been a bit quiet for awhile -- I know, I know, I'm never quiet and, to those of you who know me, that's probably been nice. But. Yes. Busy. I'm good at busy. Very good at busy. Not so good at cooking I've discovered.

I figured it couldn't hurt to come here and ask but, nobody's seen a blue police box just lying around anywhere have they? I haven't seen it in quite some time, so I doubt it, but I don't really think it could hurt to ask.

So, I'm me again. Thanks to everyone who talked to or took care of little me.

...And let's ignore anything he may have said about getting shipped off-planet. Short version: it happened.

Has anyone found a way to reverse what's happened to some of the population? I'd suspect it's magic based given the nature of Storybrooke.

But, if my services can be of use? I will gladly offer them.

Otherwise I can't believe I'm saying this I think I could go for a very strong drink. If anyone feels the similar need? I'd love the company.

What's with the ancient technology?

This is... Not what I expected to wake up to. I'm not in a coma again, am I? That's not logical.

So, wow. I missed my birthday. Time sort of just slips away from you here, I guess.

It's rather late, past the time a reasonable hobbit should be in bed.

But I am finding myself hungry, anyone want to see if Granny's is still open?

This is not what I expected. I think.

I was given this... thing by someone and I'm not entirely sure why the letters on it are scrambled and they told me where I live now, but I'm pretty sure I'm not... where I was meant to end up. Not that I suppose I really should complain, all things considered. I just don't think I've ever heard of an afterlife quite like this. Suppose I should be glad there aren't little red things with pitchforks.

I'm surprisingly still soaked to the bone and I haven't quite found the flat I'm supposed to be staying at. I wonder if you can still do magic when you're dead, but my wand didn't follow me here. I suppose it wouldn't through, would it?

This place again? Part of me wishes I was back in New York, but at the same time I don't mind. I know that technically I'm not gone from there. Here however, Amy are you still here? If you are, I'm on my way to the flat now.

Well. Happy Thanksgiving, Storybrooke. It's been a surprisingly nice one.

I'm definitely not feeling the holidays. I miss my crew.

The future is quite remarkable. I always get a tingling sensation when I'm here. Have been here. Will be here.

A pity our lab didn't come with us, though we have been without it for some time. Perhaps we can find a new place to put one. What do you say, sister of mine?

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?

Ignore what the crazy lady my girlfriend Pepper just posted.

All searches will be rewarded.

In liquor.

Edited to add: I'd offer sexual favors as well as a reward, but said Pepper might kill me. or ask to join. Wait. No. Girls, please ask for sexual favors, kthnx.

My son thinking he's the Joker and trying to kill one of our friends is really making me miss the days when people woke up as the opposite gender.

[Daryl Dixon and Michonne]
Please tell me you guys aren't affected by whatever this is?

I do believe I have misplaced my Watson.

We should have some sort of...autumn bonfire.

Look, I'm not complaining about the season

The magic explanation makes about as much sense as anything else. As far as alternate worlds go this one ain't half bad. I like the free money part.

Okay... I know what I've been told. Blah, blah, blah magic. Let's be honest. I died, right? Khan's magic blood didn't hold and this is me slowly dying. Or his blood cells turned traitorous and are killing me.

I don't give a damn about that fairytale nonsense.

I'm just going to go ahead and blame this on Jim. Much more sensible.

I'm attempting to collect data on the different worlds we all come from. If anyone here would like to tell me about how their version of Earth, or even their home world is? It would be lovely. I hope that if we can find some sort of connection or similarity it might explain a bit more how the portals work to pull us into Storybrooke.

( Hikaru Sulu & Pavel Chekov )

Jim's gone. Did any of you hear anything from him at all?

This used to be my favorite time of year.

Hi sciencey type of people! I don't know how many of you are here which is why I haven't filtered this! Anyway Doctor Carol and I have talked in passing about possibly using science to understand the magic that is happening here! I mean obviously if we're all from different worlds there will be a lot of different sciences and understanding of magic here - Hey! Maybe any magical people want to get involved in this too?

Anyway just some thoughts!

So. I know I kind of failed to hold up to this the last time I said it, but, anyone feel like meeting up at the beachbecause I was thinking about going for a run to try and get tired.?

Hello, Doctor Marcus. It's The Doctor. I have recently come into contact with an alien species that I am not familiar with, and one that seems to have a vast array of difficulties with their immune system. Upon checking about on the network, and not wishing to make anything more awkward for the person in question, I wonder if I could ask you for your assistance, provided I can get you some schematics and technical details?

I know medicine isn't your primary forte, but the technology is far removed from anything that Earth should be able to handle in this time period, but I do not think it would be safe or fair to this person to allow them to live in such an immuno-compromised state.

She claims to have previously been a Quarian, do you have any knowledge of this species?

I was going to suggest some of us go for drinks to get to know each other and for me to see my friends but the drinking age here is 21?

This is so cool.

So many new people showing up it really is a wonder that you're all able to keep it together so well...

Anyway, yes, right. Hello. My name is John Smith -- The Doctor -- Whatever -- and I am terribly sorry about my lack of courtesy and introduction to a lot of you, but I have been very busy attempting to examine a lot of the data among the people from my world, in an attempt to extrapolate some form of theory as to how it is we all ended up -- Yes, yes, I know, portals, magic, temporal distortions, Einstein-Rose -- wormhole -- whatevers -- lots of theories, not enough data to draw up a conclusion. That being said, I have a request.

I know many of you are busying yourselves trying to figure out how to adapt -- which makes sense, you're humans, you're brilliant, it's what you do -- right, yes, moving on -- but, among those of you who can spare the time, are there any among you who would be willing to volunteer for a bit of testing? It's all perfectly harmless I assure you -- really, could probably do most of it with my eyes and a bit of questions -- but what I really need is a collected series of data that might provide clues to the causal connectivity of events that led us all to be here through the, uh, portals -- wormholes -- whatever bits of understanding you'd like to call them.

Again, I'm only looking for volunteers. If you're unwilling or disinterested -- which, really, who can blame some of you -- have a lot of you eaten the food here yet? -- it's positively Brilliant -- then there is absolutely no pressure to feel like there's any need, whatsoever, to get involved. I'm just trying to find some answers and, while I respect the Mayor and folk of this wonderful town, I'm not quite so willing to accept this 'no way back theory' not just yet.

After all, nothing's impossible.

You know, even with someone explaining all this crap, I still don't really believe it.

Like hell this isn't somehow Jim's fault. Stupid jackass

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.

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!

Magic. Well that's something I've never even thought was possible before. But hey. If mutants exist, then why not magic?

But at least I'm figuring this thing out...sort of.

So, I know it's early morning but, sleeping these days isn't exactly my strong suit. Is anyone else but me having trouble sleeping due to awful nightmares andthe lack of being in space, or the strangeness of non-cycled air? I can understand a small adjustment or discomfort, but this is a bit much..

I guess you could say this is a bulletin for space travelers, specifically those who're used to living on them? I know there's got to be more than the two I know about and being displaced from..space..is..weird...did I just who made a living on a star-ships?

I guess we're not in Kansas anymore.

I've been through stranger things, but damn. Mama always said be careful what you wish for. I've been looking for a way home going on three years now. This ain't home, but it's Earth which is closer than I've gotten before, I guess.

Don't suppose anyone has seen any aliens running around. Little guy who farts helium? Human looking woman in leather who probably looks really pissed off? Psychotic asshole with a scowl and a braid? Maybe a crazy guy with a mask over half his face?

And if someone could point me in the direction of food, I'd be grateful. I've really missed cheeseburgers.

Could anyone point me in the direction of the people in charge of this town? There are some questions I would like to ask about the nature of our situation.

If there are any members of Starfleet present? Please contact me. This is Dr. Carol Marcus.

Right then.

My name is Emma Swan, and I'm the Sheriff here in Storybrooke. You've all met the Mayor, and been given your welcome kits, but if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me, or my deputy, David Nolan.

And if you could all fill this out for me, so I get a feel of who's who, that would be great.
