Area 53 In Character

So another alternate universe? I'm getting damn good at these things.

I am just not made for this climate. This will take some getting used to.

Okay, I understand that you don't know how people come and go, but I really have to find a way back to Hawaii. My guardian will freak out if I'm missing and I don't want to make him worry like that.

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.

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

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 )
