welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

So...Storybrooke? Interesting name I have to say. Least the rift had one good side effect.

All this technology is so primitive. Trying to configure my omni-tool with this has proven difficult. How do you humans manage?

My name is Tali'Zorah vas Normandy and I am was a Quarian but it appears I am human now. It is very odd. What do you do with all these extra fingers and toes?

[Commander Shepherd]
I heard you were here. Is is true? What is this place? I am human but my immune system is still shot.

This is so cool.

I never thought I'd enjoy something as normal as job hunting so much.

I'm very used to strange and unexplained things, but I never actually expected to fall through a magic portal.

And since I'm apparently going to be here awhile, I might as well introduce myself.

My name is Esme Cullen. Would anyone be able to tell me if they've seen anyone named Carlisle, Emmett, Edward, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Bella, or Renesme around? That would be greatly appreciated.

Huh.

A random portal to...another world?

What did you blow up this time, Harry?

Greetings, people of Earth and the town of Storybrooke. I have been told that this device will transmit my voice? I am Thor, Son of Odin. I do not know how it is I have been called to your realm, but do not panic. I swore once, long ago, to defend your realm from all who would seek to do it harm. I will find the answers soon.

I was informed, however, that departure is not an option, so I must ask..where are your feasting halls and is there any of your coffee to be had?

Time to start all over, I guess. I could really use a fresh start, but it's a little bittersweet to lose all connections to home.

Well, it looks like I'm going to be here for a while, and I've decided I'm okay with that. Back home, I was dead.

So I've gotten a job: teacher's assistant and soccer coach. I'm actually really excited about it - I used to be good with kids, and I think I'll be better now that I don't have to deal with prophecies and monsters and all the other stuff that drove me literally crazy. For the first time in my life, I'm really looking forward to the school year starting.

I used to love summer. The heat, the trips to the lake, the barbeques, going to the pool, all that stuff. Now every time I step outside, I'm just like "ugh, everything about this is terrible, why is this happening to me?"

Jess, sweetie, just let me know if I'm keeping the apartment too oppressively cold. If it starts to drive you nuts, I can just get a window unit for my room.

Related: I worked with the boss and got a specialty drink added to our otherwise unpretentious menu - the Fresh Berry Daiquiri. I made my own sweet berry puree, added ice and rum, threw it in a blender, and it turned out beautiful. All you afternoon drinkers should come have one while it's all stupid hot and I'm working the early shift.

Hey, my name is Nathan Drake. Just call me Nate. I seem to have misplaced my friend. Name is Victor Sullivan. Always got a cigar in his mouth. Says "goddamn" a lot. A bit of a lech. Calls anyone younger than him "kid" all the time?

Anyone? Anyone at all?

Also, looking around for Elena Fisher. Anybody seen her either?

[Danny & Thalia]

I've got an idea that we should try out tonight.

This place is bloody absolutely brilliant!!!

Especially these deVICESvices! There's so much around here I never thought of at all.

This? This is awesome. I know I should be having an existential crisis, but let's be real, my life has been pretty crazy. How I didn't figure out that I was fictional a long time ago is a mystery.

I'm Emmett Cullen, and I am never going to high school again!

Now, has anyone seen my wife? Yea high, blonde, the most beautiful woman you've ever seen?

ooc: after this

RUMPLE

Did you know? Did you know what was in the basement?

SO, before I lose my god damn mind with alternate universes and timelines and all that shit, I figured this was just a much easier way to go about it.

I'm Jessica Jones. I have been, in this order, Jewel, Knightress and Power Woman. My husband is Luke Cage, AKA Power Man. He is, the last time I saw him, an Avenger and I have been one multiple times. The point of this post is to find out who knows who and what we all know because I don't know about you all but I could really use some people I trust. Besides Danny and Logan.

Well, this is weird. I suspect I'm not the only one thinking so, but still. This is weird.

Thanks to whoever it was that got me all patched up, though. That was nice. Who knew that actually having your gunshot wound fixed by a real doctor would do so much good? Still hurts like no other, but the whole sterile bandage thing is a significant upgrade from what I had before.

Oh and I guess I should add, my name is Christina. This is definitely not home. And I'd love to know if there's a Tris around? Or maybe Uriah? Four?

I really have no idea what I want to do here, beyond just really just wanting to do something. I can't exactly just pick up my old job here. Headmistress of a school for wayward mutants gifted youth isn't exactly something you can just apply for. I don't think anyway.

I'm thinking maybe teaching, once the school year starts. There's a few subjects I have enough experience in. In the meantime, does anyone know if there's a dance studio in town? I haven't really had a chance to explore as much as I'd like to.
