welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

I've been trying to figure out a way to reverse the whole gender mixup thing that's going around (which I had nothing to do with, just saying), but so far I am having no luck. Sorry guys (and girls), you might be stuck that way for awhile.

Friends

How many of you guys got hit with the whammy, by the way?

Alrighty then. I've been to the garage twice and each time I go it seems like no one is there. How's a girl supposed to get a job as a mechanic if there's no one to interview her? Ugh. Also, I've been seeing a lot of things about a dance. What the hell did I miss and where did I miss it??

Whgat was thar? I mean wat

t's bot real. It cant be real

Filter: Merlin

where are

can i see you?

Well, that was fun. Minus how it wasn't.

( Bonnie )

I never even asked when you were from. Did you know about that?

( Damon )

Can we just get out and do something? I don't really care what. I don't want to think about that stupid show any more.

( OOC: You guessed it. TVD and TO spoilers likely in comments. )

(Possible multiple season premiere spoilers for TVD, Originals, Scandal I'm the comments. You has been warned.)

I think that's the last time I watch TV. At least on a Thursday. Or a Tuesday.

[ooc: TVD S5 and The Originals Series Premiere in the comments]

Would someone care to explain to me what the hell I just watched on the TV?

If there's anyone who isn't going to the dance and wants to hang out and get pizza, let me know. Maybe scary movies.

It looks like I was worried about the wrong thing. I should have been worried more about passing Trigonometry thank Merlin I had the textbook right next to me than learning how to help James take care of our son. He keeps saying I'm a natural and he must be right. Taking care of Harry is easy compared to this homework

Does anyone know anything about Trigonometry? I thought going to primary school before Hogwarts would make school here easier. I should be more used to muggle classes than this And might be willing to help me get a better grasp on it?

I'm Lily by the way. Lily Evans.

[Private to James]
I miss how things are at home with us I wish I was your age here I burnt the cake I was trying to bake for dessert so maybe you can pick something up on the way home for us to eat after dinner? I didn't burn that at least.

You know what's kind of comforting? Even in a weird town in the middle of Maine full of magic and superheroes, Microsoft Word still sucks. That's what I get for being lazy and just using what was already installed. Half an essay trashed.

Watching new fall TV is weird when you've met some of the people.

Um, so, someone PLEASE tell me why I'm stuck in some lame town that reminds me of depressing places I'd NEVER go? And I have none of my CLOTHES and most importantly, my PINK EYELINER??? How can I LIVE without my pink eyeliner?? I don't suppose there's a Sephora in this lame town?

I'm told there are other Camp Halfblood people here so...hello!

And for all you cute boys out there, I'm Drew.

As I'm sure some of you already know, Caroline's birthday is coming up Friday. We're having a party down by the beach. We'll have some snacks and some soft drinks, but it's pretty much BYOB if you want to make sure you have enough. Michael Glass is going to provide us with some music and you're all invited.

We start Friday night at 7. If you're interested in coming, let me or Caroline know and we'll get back to you with the exact location.

Filtered: Merlin

And I was sort of hoping you might like to be my date. What do you think?

According to the internet Thursday is Talk Like a Pirate Day.

There are a number of other days..some more strange than others. Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day but I'm not sure what that is. Salami Day. I think I can get behind National Cheeseburger Day though. Which is Wednesday. In case anyone was interested.

FILTER FRIENDS*

Caroline's birthday is on the 20th and needless to say, there's going to be a party. Obviously, we're going to have to keep it secret. Some of us are 18, but I know a lot of you have to deal with that stupid curfew.

Anyway, we're working out the details, but don't make any other plans for the 20th. Trust me, a Caroline Forbes party is something you don't want to miss.

*Please feel free to assume you're included on this if your character would be friendly with Bonnie, either through school, her job at the coffee place or random interaction on the network.

So, I've been dragged through a magic portal that skipped right over summer. Awesome. Way to go, portal. Just once, I'd like a break from this kind of thing

I guess I should see about community college classes while I'm here.

So...is anyone around from Mystic Falls?

For a place full of people with super powers, school still feels kind of mundane. I guess some things don't change.

So far there's no animal attacks, so it might actually be more mundane. That's not a complaint though.

[Filtered Away From School/Town Officials]
Just kind of pointless? We can't even get out of here to go to whatever college we want to apply to, and I'm pretty sure the Ivy League isn't going to take transcripts from Magic Town USA.

But I don't mind yet. It's something to do. I'll probably change my mind once they start assigning Hemingway or something.

How is everything going? Your crew settling in? Are you sleeping?

School started up for us. It's pretty strange being in classes with people you grew up seeing in comic books. But probably still not as bizarre as having your alien girlfriend friends end up here and human.

I really like going to school here. It's still strange to not worry about being attacked by monsters constantly, but I actually like it. Normal isn't so bad.

I enrolled in the local community college. I figure if I am here I might as well do what I was planning to back home.

At least I managed to keep my classes on Mondays-Thursdays so I won't have class on my birthday. Small victories. Even though I don't technically have a birthday anymore.

In other news, my dog learned not to go after my shoes. It only took forever.

So, I’ve been sitting here with this mocha trying to figure out what I’m doing. There are so many networks to look at, and this laptop is really a piece of work, to think back to my old clunky one…science never stops with the impressing. I think I’m trying to just not think about the Hellmouth right now, somehow it has to have something to do with this. I mean, you don’t just kill stop that much evil with no backlash, right? This mocha is really good, whipped cream goodness on top. Oh, oh! Hi, by the way, hi. I’m Willow Rosenberg of Sunnydale California, it doesn’t exist anymore…I wonder if it ever existed here.

This isn’t exactly my first dimensional crazy fun time; only, my counterpart was the one that came through. Little different being on the other side. I am ramble girl right now, sorry. There’s just so much to take in still, did I mention this is a really good mocha? Sugar rush, here I come!

Magic users/ locked from Mr. Gold

Is anyone else getting a ~vibe off of some of the things in Mr. Gold's shop. It's hard to explain and I don't know of it's just me, but there's something powerful strange about them.

Posted via Journaler.

It has come to my attention that there is a large magical community in this town, and yet no shop or any good place for resources! So with that in mind I will be seeing about opening up a magical supply shop, given that running one is the only job I've ever had, and I hope to open soon. After I get things. Like licences and so forth.

I don't care about anything I was just told. I want out of this place and I want it now. I don't want to be trapped in another some small nothing town again. I want out or things will give very bloody and messy very quickly.

Does anyone know if Merlin's been brought through the portal?

Hey, everyone.

My name is Kitty Pryde. Back in my own reality, I was the Headmistress of the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. Here in Storybrooke, I've been working with Mayor Mills to set up a communal space for all the youth, both local and displaced.

Basically, the point is that the Storybrooke Youth Center will be opening soon, to give the kids and teenagers in Storybrooke a place to hang out and have fun in a safe environment. There will be areas for athletic activity, as well as places to socialize, and even to study once school rolls around. What we're hoping is that we can create a space where the young people in town can interact in a safe environment that promotes positive attitudes.

The point of this post is that the center will need staff. I will be running things, along with my colleague, Logan Howlett, but we definitely need more people in order to get this operation up and running. If you're interested, please contact me here, or you can email your information to me at pryde.katherine@storybrooke.gov. We really appreciate any support that we can get.

Also, classes will be staring at the Elementary, Junior High and High Schools, as well as the Community College, on September 3, the Tuesday following labor day. All children and teens under the age of eighteen are required to register for school. Please use the following form to provide your information, or that of your child, and we'll get them into the system so that they're registered for classes.

<b>Student's Name:</b> <b>Age & Date of Birth:</b> <b>Parent or Guardian:</b> <b>Former Level of Schooling:</b> <b>Any Special Needs:</b>

We'll be doing one on one counseling for high school and college students, to help them pick classes. We will also be working with any students who have special requirements outside of typical academic programs, in order to best help them.

Thank you all very much and we appreciate your help and cooperation.

So I'm curious and a bit obsessive and wondered about everyone since we have so many amazing people here. I'd love to know where everyone is from, what they can do, and you know, if you're not totally human, what you are. I'll start!

I'm Charlie, I'm from a world much like this one, and I'm run of the mill human. I don't have any special powers or anything, just some mad computer and gaming skills.

Feel free to use filters if you don't want to share with the whole class!

You know what's weird? I'd just had my birthday not that long before I ended up here, but I guess I'm about to have another one in a few weeks.

I don't care if I'm not really going to be another year older, I still want to celebrate. I'm not sure how, yet.

Elena, Caroline? Do you guys have any suggestions?

Posted via Journaler.

I haven't been here all that long so I can't help but wonder, is it normal to find puppies just loose on the street? If anyone is missing a black dog with brown paws who is rather sweet, I might have found him. I hope no one claims him

Today was not my best day at work. I think I spilled more things today than I did on my first day. And I broke two plates. Oops? Luckily my boss wasn't too pissed off at me.

Unrelated note. GUYS. IDEA!

Do you know what I want to do before summer is over? We should all go camping or something! Would anyone be interested in camping? I'll bring the smores!

This is not..there is a battle going on. I've been delayed long enough as it is.

Arthur? Arthur are you out there? Has anyone seen the King?

It was suggested that to alleviate my boredom that I get a job.

...a job. Honestly. I'm only now beginning to breathe properly after the ensuing fit of laughter.



Note: Where can I procure a house elf?

[Filter: Not Canon-mates]

Has anyone else found out things about their future they'd rather not have known?

The downside to visiting the animal shelter is that there are PUPPIES and they are ridiculously CUTE. It shouldn't really be a big surprise that Caroline and I came home with a dog. Pics to come later. Right now, I have to go keep him from eating Caroline's shoes.

I think I should go out and look for some kind of job here. It might be nice to feel like a normal teenager again.

I have yet to introduce myself on here, but that's what working with wild magic will do. Takes time. I'm Mr. Gold, I own the pawn shop, among a variety of other properties. I am looking for magical volunteers to investigate the portals, and to possibly give us an early glance at how your magics may interfere with the current tenuous stability.

I suggest any personal questions and concerns you have continue to go to Ms. Swan and Mayor Mills.

Well, this is different. Can't exactly say I'm disappointed. Always preferable to not be stuck on the Other Side.

( Elena, Jeremy )
Are you both okay?

( Jenna )
I heard you were here too, but I'm still half expecting it to be some kind of screwed up joke.

I don't even know why I'm putting this here. For all I know, there's nobody to even see it.

But...god, you have no idea how much I've missed you. And I know things were a complete mess there at the end, and that was entirely my fault, but if you are here, then I never want to leave this place, because losing you was the worst thing that ever happened to me and I don't want to do that again.

So...yeah. That's just...I wanted you to know that.

FInally out of Morganville. Can't really say I've been happier. Even if it was by means of some whacked magic portal. I want to place the blame on Myrnin for this one.

Claire? Mikey? Eve? Anyone out there?

Ain't anyone else considerin' that this ain't magic, but y'all are dead?

[ Filtered to Mulan Glenn ]

That sweet lil' lady of yours tell you about the day we spent together?

((ooc: I'm really sorry okay? I don't want to keep apologising in every single offensive comment. So, nice big world wide apology right here! sobs emotionally because wengh.))

They said I should introduce myself on this thing, so...hi. I'm Vicki.

(pretend it was after bonfire post. its been a rough day and haven't been entirely into RP today! Forgive me.)

Bonnie you're going right? Silly question. You're kind of going either way!

Is anyone else going? Matt? Jer?

Okay. So I'm in a magical town in Maine, with no way of getting back home.

God, I hate magic sometimes.

Anyway. Hi. My name is Elena Gilbert. Can anyone tell me if anyone else has shown up from a place called Mystic Falls?

So I know there was some get-together at Granny's like...the night I got here, I think, but I didn't make it and I know a lot of other teens have shown up since.

Who's up for our own teens-only bonfire on the beach tonight?

My name is Clark Kent and I, like you, am a recent transplant to Storybrooke. I'm also a recent addition to the Daily Mirror staff.

I'm doing a daily feature on some of the town's residents, both new and old, and I'd love to have a chat with anyone interested in participating. If you are, please let me know. We can meet up for a coffee or I can conduct an interview right here on the network. It's up to you.

Thanks in advance.

...I still don't understand what's going on here. I was just dead.

You know, I get that I've got a lot of bad karma coming my way, but saving the world doesn't warrant a week off and sleeping in without someone jacking you off to another dimension?

Beats Sunnydale crater though.

Now I'm up and screwed over though, might as well eat. Is somewhere named Granny's really practically the only place to go?

When questioning why everyone from your own reality keeps giving you strange reactions, find your own TV show and watch it. Last chance for anyone to just spit it out.

Okay, I know Caroline's here, because my ears are still ringing from the squealing. And I saw Matt on this network, but what about everyone else? Anyone else from Mystic Falls lurking about?

Posted via Journaler.

Not exactly what I had in mind when I decided to see the world.

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.
