welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

I'm feeling the urge to go shop for things that I don't really need.

Jo, you're coming with me, right?

Anyone care to come over for some tea?

I just...

Think I need someone to talk to.

Shopping truip tomorrow?

Sam, I think we need to talk.

I am so glad that it's getting warm outside. It's just about sunbathing weather.

That means I'll need to go shopping to get a new bikini since none of my summer clothes arrived here with me.

Jo, want to go shopping with me?

I can't be the only person looking forward to May and hopefully warm weather. Am I?

[Jack Sparrow]

I know I haven't said it before but I'm glad you're back. The Hanged Man wasn't the same without you.

[Sookie Stackhouse]

I know I've been working a lot and not around much and I'm really sorry about that. What do you say we do something fun next time we have the same day off to make up for it? Just the two of us unless you have somebody you want to ask to come along. I suck at this shit don't I?

I swear, we're constantly having to redo the schedule when people come and go. Thankfully, we have some pretty awesome people working for us, so it's not too bad.

Now, if I could just stop waiting for the other shoe to drop, that'd be great. I think every time I've been in an idyllic small town over the years, things have gone straight to hell soon after. Then again, I was usually in those places because of monsters, so...

( Sookie )

Hey, hun. You still settling in all right?

I need to move a few things around on the schedule. You okay to pick up Saturday night? One of the waitresses has a thing. I'd step in, but I'll be working the bar. I promise I'll make it up to you. Seriously, it'll be a godsend. And I really will owe you.

Has Abraham Lincoln always been a vampire hunter?

I need to brush up on my American history.

Either that, or this movie is lying to me.

Dinner?

Hello?

I… sorry, is this right? Can people see this?

I don’t – really understand what’s happening..

Every time I think that I won't be surprised by anything, life throws me another curve ball. I've seen a lot of things, but being brought to a completely different world? That's a new one for me.

For those of y'all who knew him, Bill Compton is gone.

Maine winters must be hell on short coated dogs.

[Private to Maggie]
I washed your friends clothes. Want me to drop them off at the animal shelter for you?

[Private to Bill Compton]
Fuck this is awkward I need some help.

[Private to Sookie Stackhouse]
I'm sorry about what happened at the full moon. I don't know how I got out How do you feel about Siberian Huskies?

Thank god it's Monday. I love having nights off.

Even if they are spent arguing with idiots

( Sookie )

I was thinking. We should do a double date with the guys some time. We're getting enough staff for you, me and Sam to take a night off.

What do you think?

( Dean )

How are things going with mini!Sam?

Apparently I was acquainted with a pirate when I was here before, and opened a tavern.

I must say, that is the easiest that I've gotten a job. He just showed up and told me that I had a place to work. Not that I plan on doing much working, but hanging about a bar is something I'm very good at.

You know, I realized I haven't really looked at this thing since I came back. I've been busy with Sam the holidays and getting back to work and everything, I guess. And I never was very good about remembering to even check my email. Computers and I have never really gotten along very well.

I think I saw most of you at the ball, anyway and thank you to Snow White and Prince Charming for hosting that, by the way! It was really nice of you and I had such a good time.

Anyway, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Sookie Stackhouse. I'm from a little town in Louisiana called Bon Temps and here in Storybrooke, I'm a server at The Hanged Man.

I have to admit, I am not a man who is a big fan of Christmas, but the city looks nice decorated for the holidays. Does anyone have plans?

God, y'all are loud I'm glad everyone is back to normal again. Things got even weirder than usual for awhile.

Filter: Bill, Sam

Claudine's gone. Do you reckon people go back to the same point they came from when they leave here? Or someplace else?

With Isabela gone out of nowhere, which really sucks by the way, Hook has me stepping up to help run the place. Well the bar end of it...not so much the business end. Anyway, I may not be a pirate, but I definitely know my way around a bar.

( Dean )

So, wanna celebrate you having your favorite parts back?

Eric vanished awhile ago, but I still keep expecting to see him in the hall. I miss him I keep having to remind myself he isn't here anymore.

Filtered: Killian Jones and Isabela

My friend Claudine was asking about a Halloween party for us adults since the kids are having their dance and it occurred to me that it could be good business. Y'all might even already be planning something, but if not, what do you think?

It's strange to be living somewhere with actual seasons. We had seasons in Bon Temps, but nothing like this. I'm looking forward to getting to see some snow, assuming we're stuck here that long.

It kind of sucks that I still have to change into a wolf once a month but I think I prefer this strange town to home. Even if its the opposite of normal. Especially since Sally is not a ghost here.. I do miss Aidan though. I wish he didn't get taken back.

I have read that there is some dance for the kids but is there anything going on for the older residents? For Halloween. I do love a good chance to get dressed up!

I don't really understand how this is possible. One minute I was in Georgia and now I've been told that I'm in Maine and can't leave and came through a portal. None of that should be possible. At least there are no Walkers here.

If y'all haven't seen, Bill is here!.

This is not Bon Temps... what is this town like? Why is everyone brought here? This is quite curious.

My name is Bill Compton.

I am having a lot of fun working at Modern Fashions. It reminds me of my old job. It's a lot of fun helping people shop and find the perfect thing. Or pairing it with jewelry. Sookie, you need to come in! You as well, Sam. I'm certain you could use something.

Speaking as sort of an expert on the whole finding yourself in a world where you exist in a tv show, I feel like I should give out some pointers. I'm pretty sure these translates to all media.

- Don't Watch Your Show. (Read your book, Your Comic..etc).
- Don't google your name.
- Stay away from fans.
- Don't read anything they might have written.
- Don't look up actors.

Trust me, it'll just mess with your head. Obviously, these are just suggestions but trust me, you'll thank me.

I have to say, I never really pictured myself working in a pirate bar. Of course, I never really pictured myself being brought back to sort-of-life because a portal brought ghost-me to the land of magic and Disney. So...I guess expectations aren't all they're cracked up to be.

But it's fun. Really fun. And my boss doesn't even care if I break a guy's hand if he puts it where he shouldn't. Always a plus.

( Winchesters )

You're being too quiet. Not getting into trouble are you?

( Mom )

I know I don't really say it much, but I'm really glad you're here.

I am most certainly not amused.

So I'm curious and a bit obsessive and wondered about everyone since we have so many amazing people here. I'd love to know where everyone is from, what they can do, and you know, if you're not totally human, what you are. I'll start!

I'm Charlie, I'm from a world much like this one, and I'm run of the mill human. I don't have any special powers or anything, just some mad computer and gaming skills.

Feel free to use filters if you don't want to share with the whole class!

There are so many vampires here. And several that can walk in the day. Sookie! Sam! How is that possible?

Not that I don't find time being magically pulled to a different time and place fun but I was in the middle of something kind of important.

Anyway, I hear there are others that are stuck here while they work on fixing the problem. I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Claudine.

I've seen an awful of of strange stuff in my life, but if this don't beat all. I suppose since we're stuck here, might as well make the best of things.

Hey, y'all, I'm Sookie.

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.
