welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

Storybrooke, huh? It's not LA, but I guess there are worse places to be stuck. I was tempted to blame Catty, but they said it wasn't her fault.

Now the real question is, where can a girl get a good cup of coffee around here?

Nate, what have you gotten us into now?

To everyone else, hi, my name is Elena Fisher Drake. Interesting little town you have here.

Huh.

Did Hera do this too?

Not trying to be a spoil sport, but I kinda need to get back to Rome. And my friends. They won't find the Doors of Death without me.

I'm still not sure that I wasn't attacked by a djinn again and stuck in another dream, only this time an AWESOME one. This beats comic-con any day.

What up, bitches. I'm Charlie.

Dean, you guys didn't cause this did you?

I miss Trick. I miss The Dal. But most of all I miss my free booze.

Kidding. Mostly.. But I do miss that little perk.

You can make up for not rescuing me with a movie tonight. And popcorn.

I saw who showed up...how are you?

One minute you're working on calibrations, the next...

This is awful. I'd rather be fighting reapers. I thought taking a rocket to the face was bad, but this, I don't even want to see the mirror.

I really wish I could say this was the weirdest thing to happen to me lately.

But seriously, there's no way back?

I need a night full of fish and chips and Beatles music. Granny's and YouTube are nice, but sometimes a girl just wants some comfort food and a yellow submarine. Butterbeer would be an added plus, too, but I'm not going to get too needy.

I FOUND CADBURY DIGESTIVES, and I'm about to eat my weight in them. Please love me even when I'm tubby.

Hey. So...I'd been debating whether I should say anything or if I should just leave you guys alone, and I decided I needed to say this.

First, I know that there's no apology that could ever make up for what I did. People, including some of you, died because of what I made happen and what I let happen. I'm not saying any of this because I want any of you to forgive me. I know I don't deserve that, and I don't expect it. I'm saying this because I'm trying to do the right thing this time around, and I think that has to include facing what I did before.

So...I'm sorry. I can't even say how much. I won't go through any of the explanation unless somebody wants me to, because I don't really think it's important - I did what I did, and it was wrong. I just want you all to know that I don't want to hurt anyone anymore, and I'm going to do my best not to bother anybody here, especially not any of you. If you do want to talk to me, or yell at me, or anything else, let me know. I'll be around.

And I guess that's it. Thanks for reading.

Hello! I was told that I could introduce myself here and find people I know. So that's what I'm doing.

This was kind of weird for about five minutes, until I realized that I wasn't dead. I then assumed that the gods are playing some kind of weird trick because they realized I wasn't a hero at all and I deserved to be, but then I decided that it probably wasn't the case. At least, I hope it's not the case. No offense, gods, if you can hear/see/read this! I'm just kind of over a lot of things.

Anyway, then I realized that I was alive and that's kind of awesome. Don't get me wrong! Elysium is a pretty awesome place, but not being dead? Kind of a plus side in my life right now.

Oh, and of course I forgot to introduce myself because I'm a special snowflake. I'm Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite. I don't suppose anyone has seen a large guy about a million feet tall and nice and bulky that goes by Beckendorf? Orrr Luke Castellan? I'd also be pretty happy with that, but I'd really like Charlie. (No offense, Luke! You'll always be my bro.)

I was going to suggest some of us go for drinks to get to know each other and for me to see my friends but the drinking age here is 21?

Oh well isn't this something? Hello? Is this thing on? Look at all these clothes that people are wearing. How do they protect themselves? Goodness.

I don't think this is working how they showed me but I.. [some banging and crashing noises as if the device is dropped.]

Seriously I'm bored. What is there to do around here anyway? I can't believe this used to be my life not that long ago. I don't know how I did it. Plus I miss Frank and the others as it is.

Tell me does anyone dance or sing here? I have always been a fan of balls and parties. A part of me wishes I could grow my own food like I did back home but there is no space and no one to help in the gardens here. All the vegetables taste wrong to me.

My dear Elizabeth has informed me that I need a job and that working in a bar is a bad idea.

Suggestions?

They're a bit nosey aren't they? I've not even been here a day and I'm already being asked my life story. I get why they're doing it, but some people don't like sharing secrets, y'know? Or is that just me?

Anyway, Lily Potter at your service! I know I was harping on about a holiday, but really I was thinking Italy... and with my family. But, I guess will do? Do you guys at least have ice-cream?
