welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

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!]

Is this for real? I mean, I know someone tried to explain what what going on, but this is almost too crazy, even for me. I should be in Tartarus right now not some random town. I should be with Annabeth; not by myself. We fell together, so where is she? I don't have time for a detour. I'm kind of on a time crunch.

Right. So things worth noting right now.

1. I'm in the States. I'm the state of Maine, in a town called Storybrooke, to be precise.
   
2. I've been transported here by a magical portal of sorts. Apparently, the magic here is different from what I'm used to.
   
3. I shall need to find a job, since I'm going to be here for awhile, and am going to have to provide for myself.
   
4. Magic exists here, so there's no need in hiding that I'm a witch.

Right, then. Now that I've gotten those things out of the way, I may as well introduce myself. My name is Hermione Granger. I'm eighteen years of age, and I've just graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy, which where I come from, is a school in the Untied Kingdom where young witches and wizards go to harness their abilities and become successful members of magical society afterward. I'm a Muggle-born, which means that neither of my parents have any magical blood in them whatsoever, so I am also well-versed in somethings that wizards that haven't grown up around Muggles or have never taken a Muggle studies class aren't, such as how to use a telephone, or operate a car.

I was top in my class at Hogwarts. I'm very good all manners of spells, translating ancient ruins, and brewing potions. I'm also very organized, have excellent typing skills, and good with numbers.

You know what? No. Just no.

I can't even right now with this crap.

Portals and other worlds and...no. I refuse.

I'm not dealing with this.

( ooc: spoilers for the most recent episode of Teen Wolf in the comments )

Alright. Definitely didn't see getting pulled through a portal and landing in a small town in Maine happening.

Anyway. Hi. My name's Teddy Altman. No's one happened to see a Billy Kaplan around, have they?

If not, would anyone happen to know if there's anyone by the name of Kate Bishop around?

Okay. So not in Sunnydale anymore.

Is it sad that this isn't the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me?

I'm Dawn. Dawn Summers. Hi.

This is ... unexpected.

Has anyone seen a man named Jack Harkness about? Long coat, flutters about, dark hair, has probably hit on you and anything around, including inanimate objects.

Ai ya! Tian fan di fu—

Never lived in a house before.  Don't much see the point of it.

SUP EVERYONE.

Darcy Lewis here again and I think we should have a mixer. We can hang out at that Granny's Diner tonight, have a meet and greet, eat some pie, I can bring the tunes. Anyone in? Bring your party shoes and listening ears.

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.

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. Took me a tic to figure this bloody thing out. Never was very good with muggle technology.

This place seems...nice. For a strange town in the future with bloody odd magic. Still prefer London, but I suppose it could be worse.

Marlene, love? I asked, and someone told me you were about.

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.

This isn't the strangest thing to have happened. Although it certainly is strange. Although the not being able to get back home is the weird part.

You know, I'd like to say this is the first time I woke up in a strange town I couldn't leave, surrounded by dwarves, but I'd be lying.

Though the magic is relatively new. And I like that they welcome you with money and electronics.
