welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

I'm not being shot at. I can't sneak into bars. Dance halls are a thing of the past. What do people actually do here? Why are there no teenagers here? Not that I know how to talk to them or interact with them but I could, at least, watch them and pretend I know

I can do this.

Hello? Looks like I'm going to be staying here for a while. My name is Katie Bell, they said this might be a good way to reach out to any friends or family that might be here.

Hermione's gone. Why is Hermione gone?

Are you still here, Ginny?

( Filtered away from Ginny, to the people who take care of such things. )

I think my sister is here and I think she's only 16. I'll be her guardian if that's okay.

Alright, George. Fess up. This is one of your pranks, isn't it? Very elaborate. O for effort. But you know mum's going to kill us both if you don't have me home for dinner.

Wotcher, Storybrooke!

I can't rightly say I've ever expected to be pulled through a portal and told to live in another town before. It's going to take some getting used to and I'm going to miss my Mum and Da something fierce, but it's not so bad here, right? At least there isn't a war going on, but it's a bloody shame I'm not there anymore to fight in the one back home anymore.

Right. My name is Tonks and I'm a witch. I was told that's not much of a secret here, is it? That's going to take some getting used to as well, but I can't wait to meet all of the muggles!

If I don't see one more magical portal or wand in my lifetime it will be too bloody soon. Thank you so much for interrupting my work day with all of this magic business. And this is precisely why I don't approve of this God-forsaken nonsense. I don't suppose there's a respectable place a girl could find herself a glass of wine or three this early in the afternoon.

Experience has shown me that when something out of the ordinary happens Potter, Black, Peter, and Remus aren't too far to be found, and despite all the solid evidence and people saying that this is really happening and that I am in Maine in the year 2013 punching letters on a "PDA" to communicate with everyone, I'm still not convinced that they didn't have a hand in this. Marlene? Emme? Dorcas? Tuni? Please say you're here as well.

For all of you that don't know me, my name is Lily Evans, and I'd really love a nice, big, steaming cup of tea right now after all of that time traveling business.

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.

<b>NAME:</b> <b>AGE/DOB:</b> <b>PREVIOUS RESIDENCE:</b> <b>PAST OCCUPATION:</b> <b>ANY SPECIAL SKILLS/ABILITIES:</b> <b>ANY SPECIAL NEEDS:</b> <b>ANYTHING ELSE:</b>


[OOC: Characters, can try to lie, but Emma has had the Blue Fairy charm the form with a spell that prevents people from doing so!]

I have a few questions.

a) Has anyone seen Harry Potter? b) Has anyone seen any gingers that answer to Weasley besides me? c) Where can I find a replacement for the pie this fecking portal made me miss out on?

It's okay if you answer c first.
