That sucks. Stefan's gone. Unless he's taken to hiding under rocks, which he knows better.

He's gone.

Has anyone seen Elena Gilbert?

I guess having everyone become younger or older is still better than waking up the other gender. I hope I'm not testing my luck but thankfully this one hasn't hit me either. Maybe vampires get skipped over in the magical epidemic.

Anyway, Valentine's Day is coming up. I've already bought some decorations to decorate the apartment and the coffee shop. Sorry Bonnie. Hope you don't mind!

I guess this place isn't so bad. At least people seem somewhat safe here.

How are you three doing?

We should have a girls night soon.

Working at a pirate bar is... well, interesting to say the least. But it's a job, and it gives me something to do.

Sheriff Swan,

I am having a small issue. I would not usually go to someone for this issue...

But as it is a life or death situation for me, I do need some assistance.

As a vampire, I live off blood. I do not wish to get on anyone's bad side by feeding off humans here. What should I do about this?



[Filtered to Joan Watson]

I thoroughly enjoyed your company at the ball, and I thank you for allowing me to escort you.

Time travel and alternate universes. I really wish I could say this kind of thing still surprise me.

I'm...still not sure what is going on here. Storybrooke? It's almost the year 2014?

Ste--Captain? The timing for that portal thing wasn't that bad though.

Merry Christmas everyone!

This town is quieter than Mystic Falls and that town barely had a pulse before I arrived.

[OOC: Spoken in his normal British accent as he does not realize it's voice posting.]

This is a very strange contraption... This is a strange town as well.

What am I doing here?

It's been a while since I've seen someone from this century use the term, 'ball' and actually have it mean a dance.

I hope it's nothing like the horrible dance clubs they try to pass off for entertainment these days. They're dreadful.

I'm officially the only one of my friends without a date to the ball.

I think this must be some kind of karma turned back on me.

I think maybe I'll just skip it. I'll still help everyone shop though.

I'm pretty excited for the ball everyone is talking about. I mean...come on. It's being thrown by Prince Charming and Snow White. Fairy tales and balls just go together. I'm pretty sure it will be a ball to remember. And I think I found the perfect dress.

[Stefan]

I demand you save me a dance! Or three!

[Bonnie & Elena]

Girls night this weekend?

Whoa. Okay so like.. that welcome kiss was totally awesome. Is that how you greet people here? Because I've just like.. been saying hey and stuff...

This place is SO different than Atmos! Well sort of. I mean the weather is seriously just like Terra Blizzaris, but you guys don't have Leapers here. Which is probably a good thing because that means you'd have Raptors eventually.

I'm Finn, sharpshooter and wingman of the Storm Hawks.

Never been to Comic Con before.

The name's Raylan.

Our tree is up! Lights, ornaments, candy canes. And Christmas music playing continuously. Yes. I love Christmas!

[Caroline, Elena and Bonnie]

The ball is fast approaching. We need dresses yesterday.

And I need a date.

Filtered Private to Friends* (feel free to assume)

I really can't decide if this is sweet or disturbing.

Sometimes Tumblr is just a really.. interesting place.

You have got to be kidding me.

One plus side to watching myself on tv every week is that I get to see how cute a new haircut looks on me before I go get it done.



Filter: Elena

So, Elijah wants me to make Lexi a daylight ring.

Filter: Caroline

We need a tree. And lights. And things.

I really love the fall. It's colder than Mystic Falls, but it's still so pretty here. The colors are gorgeous.

Now, if I could just get the radio to play something else. I'm never going to get Blurred Lines out of my head at this rate.

( filtered to TVD/TO crew )

So, Thanksgiving is coming up. We should totally do something as a group. Yes, I know, most of us are vampires who don't have to eat, but it could still be fun. Just spending time together and being thankful for what we have. I just think it would be nice, after all the craziness we've had to deal with the past few years...or past few hundred years in some cases.

Yes? No? Ideas?

{ Filtered: Elena and Caroline }

I think we need a girls' night. ASAP.

So I gather I'm not the only one from Mystic Falls here? I'm really, really over witches at this point -- sorry, Bonnie. If you're here. Which I'm not sure you are. I'm still not sure this isn't some weird hallucination Tessa's put in my head. I guess it's better than it could be -- she could have put me back in the quarry. Who knows how long it'd take you all to notice I was gone this time?

Ugh. Portals.

I'm sick of new worlds. Really sick of them. Nothing good comes of alternate dimensions.

Though this one definitely seems less terrible than the other...all of them.

Magic's a bit broken all to hell, but it could be worse.

Avengers Assemble?

What the hell?

I'm so sick of magic. I'd like to go a week without it screwing things up.

They're going to freak out and murder half of New Orleans, I just know it They aren't exactly the models of restraint

Okay, where do I get food? I'm starving.

You know, it sucks that my dad's gone. It really does. I definitely miss him.

But at least I can console myself with the numerous videos I made of Derek Hale singing his feelings at our high school education adviser while they're both dressed like something out of the 1950s. I will treasure them forever.

I have a bunny. The voting for names opens.......now!

I am open to suggestions. So far I've come up with Buttons, Hopscotch, Thumper, Butterscotch.

But...isn't he adorable?

It is unfortunate that so many people got sent home, or whatever happens when they leave here. I am sorry for anyone who lost someone.

( The Originals Spoilers Under the Cut. It is an awesome cut. )

We should have some sort of...autumn bonfire.

Look, I'm not complaining about the season

Well...that was certainly....dramatic.

[TVD/TO Crew]

Are you alright? Miss Bennett, I'm sure that was painful to watch. Do let me know if you need anything.

Well tonight was more tolerable at least. Admittedly, I would like Hayley to be here where I can keep an eye on her...and my niece. I'd like my brother brought here too.

Sister dear, we need to spend more time together.

I still haven't quite figured out a costume for myself. Bonnie, Elena, have you? If not, I demand shopping! And lunch! We can make it a girls day! And I kind of want to carve a pumpkin. I'm feeling oddly nostalgic. Oh I want candy apples.

Hey...are there any haunted houses or scary hayrides around this town? Because that could be kind of fun.

[TVD/Originals Cast]
I'll be watching the show tomorrow night if anyone is interested in joining me. Sometimes its easier when you have company. And at least its not my life. I promise to have popcorn, pizza and other unhealthy but yummy snacks.

Being a woman again is amazing. I never thought I'd be this happy to be the gender I was born.

[Filtered to Glenn Rhee]

Where are you? I need you. Now.



[Filtered to Daryl Dixon]

I guess it's time for me to stop teasing and actually follow through with things.



[Filtered to Rick Grimes]

I am a horrible person. Also, I will return your clothes soon, I just need to wash them.

So this homework seriously sucks.

[Filtered to anyone 25 and under]

On a more interesting subject, I want to throw a Halloween party.

Anyone know somewhere we can hold it? All the apartments in the towers are too small.

[Filtered away from Law/Government]
Also we need to find a way to get alcohol for the party. I have my dad's credit card and I've got money from when I got here so I can pay. Will my fake ID even work here what with all the crazy magic? Not to mention this place is such a small town. Smaller than even Beacon Hills was, I think.

(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?

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?

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?

I think my favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate with the swirls of caramel. Or that one by Ben & Jerry's. I think it's called Phish Food? Yes, that's it!

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.

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.

I am most certainly not amused.

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 can only hope that Elijah decides not to join in on the fun and add a new addition to our place. I know nothing about caring for a pet and I certainly don't wish to start now. No matter how amusing the small chubby ones are.

I suppose I should be finding a job, I haven't decided if I want to return to school or not. Doesn't seem to be worth it, even if I still have yet to have a normalDoesn't really seem to be a good fit for me. Either way, I'm sure I can find a way to make myself useful here.

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!

Somehow I ended up rescuing at least seven animals last night. Better than having to rescue people, I guess, but still. Before I take them back to the shelter where they could just get let out again, anyone want them? Right now I'm counting two dogs, three cats, a rabbit, and a turtle. Who knows if anything else is hiding in my apartment.

...I might keep the turtle though. Or the rabbit.

One minute, Amelie is telling me to go to the campus with Richard and the next I'm here. Somebody want to tell me how far it is to Morganville? And if I've somehow become a ghost again?

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.
