Area 53 In Character

So I see there are quite a lot of new faces, and perhaps I should just introduce myself to save the trouble. My name's Ianto Jones and you'll find me at the Public Library. If you didn't know about it, now you do. Feel free to stop by, but do be careful with the books? It's been enough of a hassle getting things actually organized.

Also if you have anything that is overdue, please bring it in some time this week. We're missing a few texts and, unfortunately, whoever was manning the records in this place didn't keep quite as good a track as to who checked out what book and when as I'd like.

Oh, and don't touch the coffee machine in the back room. If you break it, you won't like the consequences. Not that anyone but staff is aloud back there anyway, but that does go doubly for fellow staff.

You won't like what I do to your coffee.

Oh, before I forget. Marius: left overs or takeout? Just so I can be certain what to expect in the fridge.

Ugh. I hate school. Why do I have to attend this thing at all, ever? It's so boring. Momma stopped sending me to school ages ago.

Hmph.

Maybe I'll just sneak out of class on Monday....

Can we just do away with school? I'd love that. Then I can play all day long and do whatever I want! Whose with me?

Is there anyone who would want to check out the college campus with me on Monday?

This is some fucking bullshit.

Right, so I've been trying to figure this out and really am still completely lost. More people keep showing up and I can't figure any of this history out and it's really starting to hurt my head especially since I'm not coming up with any answers that make any since and since I still have no idea how to get back home.

I haven't really slept in like...four days so I think my mind's a little flaky sorry.

Well, this is different and I did say I needed a new start.

Hey. I'm Scott, and I'm new here and pretty confused. I'm a senior in high school so I guess I should find out if there is one and how to register.

So I probably should have done this a couple of days ago, but I got...busy. I'm Chloe Sullivan. Originally from Kansas, but more recently from Madison Valley. I know there's at least two people here I remember from there. Anyone else?

Whilst I might not be a stranger to magical travel between realms. I am a stranger to arriving somewhere without a large group of people. An entire town, in fact.

Still, at least there's a welcoming committee. It's a nice touch.

They said this was the place to go in case there's someone I might know?

Welcome to Area 53. I have noticed there's been a number of new arrivals here over the past few days.

For those who don't know me I'm Jenny Smithsonian and I'm the 'Mayor' of this town.

A few things for you to know if you haven't already been informed of it.

1. Unfortunately there's no way for you to leave. Our scientists are working on it. They have been for the past fifty years or there abouts. Unfortunatley nothing is known about how you arrive.

2. In terms of leaving some people do but as above we don't know how.

3. It is recommended that you try and make a life for yourself here. There's people who have been here (besides me) since we first opened in 1963. Many of the older refugees have settled and started families of their own

4. We should have everything you would need here. If you aren't sure where something is we are happy to help you find it. We have schools, a college that offers number of courses and various places of employment. We also have a park, community centre (where the Halloween party was held), a local pool, movie theathre, bar etc.

5. Magic is real. People have come here from worlds where magic exists. Yes, this might confuse some of you but it is true. Powers vary from people who need a wand, people who can shape shift and people who can fly.

6. If you need any assistance at all please come and talk to me either here or one of the staff at the Government building.

Out of everything that needed to happen right now... this was definitely not on the list. I can't just stay here.

I so need to fire my travel agent because this was not where I wanted to go on a vacation after destroying the Hellmouth and the Turok-Han.

This is definitely one of those things that would cause Michael to freak the hell out.

Another place that isn't home.

This is testing my powers of adaptation.

I'm glad Steve is here with me, but we'd both feel a whole lot better if we knew where the kids were.

I don't really know what this is about, but I'd like to go home. Was this because I

I liked Hawaii better.

No, you don't understand. I can't be here. I need to go back home to find Damon... and Caroline. If I'm awake, now... that means that so much has changed.

Seriously?

On Halloween?

Every year on Halloween, Area 53 hosts an all age party in the Community Centre. Starting at 6pm there are various competitions include 'best costume, scariest costume etc'. There are various games to be played, finger food is provided as well as soft drink. The children have the opportunity to go trick and treating supervised by a group of adults. From 10pm when the children leave, the party turns into an 'adult' party with dancing, alcohol provided etc. ( click to see the room decorations )
