welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

So... this here town is made up from a whole bunch of people coming from different universes representing different movies, television shows, books and what not, right? I got that. Totally cool. I mean, it's a geek's paradise! Throw everybody together in a great melting pot of geek love and see what happens! What a way to break the Fourth Wall, and heaven knows that's what I'm all about. I only have one promblemo with this.

WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE GOLDEN GIRL FANDOM, DAMMIT?!??!

Bea Arthur, OH MY BELOVED BEA ARTHUR!!! When will I ever be united with yoooooou!!! Come with me to the Casbah and we'll make such beautiful music together I'm thinking reggae right now, or maybe 80's Bubblegum Rock?.

I know! I know! I'll make a request on the Wanted Page! That's it!

Okay, everybody check out the Wanted Page, coz I done put in my request. I expect a whole bunch of applications piling in any minute now. AAAAAAANY MINUTE NOW! Don't all rush. I'll select the best one out of the bunch.

Oh, I suppose while I'm here I ought to apologize for that hand grenade I sent Not!Coulson and Hawkbutt. In my defense, I did include bandages, in case somebody got wounded! Well, not exactly bandages, but something to stop the bleeding, at least. Sorry. Won't happen again.

Did I do good, Cap?

Oops, I had to edit a mistake on the request, but I fixed it now. ☺

Kitty is missing.

I don't know who all is here from her world but she's gone.

I'm getting a lot of reports that there was a small explosion outside one of the towers. What the hell happened? Was anyone hurt? Who did it?

I'm sure it goes without saying if you haven't already, but whatever Deadpool left you this morning, dispose of it carefully. There's an explosive attached somewhere.

Thanks again to everyone who came to the party, and helped Clint put it together. It was a nice surprise.

Consider any reports I was drunk and singing to be false, as a late birthday present.

Clint, two questions.

1. Why are there arrows in the freezer?
2. Is there any chance the arrows explode when you take them out of the freezer?

I figured after all the planning that went into the party for Phil, which was a great time by the way, you might be in the mood for a night out. Dinner or drinks sometime this week?

Greetings, I am Thor, of Asgard, Son of Odin.

Though such a means was not how I had intended to return, I suppose the good fortune means I should be without complaint. Instead I find myself quite thankful that I have landed among such a considerate group of people, people who have informed me that this device will connect me to many of the others of you who have ended here the same as I?

Perhaps then there might be one of you here who could point me in the direction of your delicacy known as pancakes? I find them to be the best choice, when one is forced to deal with a sudden and unexpected arrival in any realm. Your assistance would be most appreciated.

You know, this place has a real knack for kickin' ya' out just long enough to make you think you're crazy, and then it drags you back in.

Don't suppose I can get a head count as to who's still kickin' around?

And a Cigar delivery.

And a drink.

I should have done this a week ago or probably more but I suck at...everything

So, Phil's birthday is Tuesday and it's his 50th, so I wanted to do something for that. So, surprise party. Tuesday night. Over at the youth center for space. I talked to Kitty about it and she's fine with letting us use it for the night. I'm going to convince Phil we're going to dinner, just us. Kitty's going to call him with a reason he needs to stop by the center first. He'll say yes because he's Phil.

Everyone should be there around 6:30 to be safe, earlier if you want to help prep. Bring a dish if you want. I'll be getting Phil there about 7. I just really want to do something nice for him.

Oh! And no age jokes.

EDITED TO ADD: Also, if anyone has problems with Grant being there, you can fuck right off and not come. He's going to be there and I am not kicking him out because some people can't get over their issues. He's trying. He's trying damn hard. The least you all can do is do the same and not make a bunch of fucking drama while I'm trying to do something nice for my goddamn husband. Are we clear?

( Barton-Coulson Home for Wayward Spysassins - plus Tony - minus Phil )

I could use your help setting everything up. I'd really appreciate it.

( MCU Steve )

I can do this it's for Phil I really hope you come. I know Phil would appreciate it.

Also I was kind of wondering if you'd maybe help with the decorations. I know you're good at art, and since Phil doesn't have his cards any more, I just figured it would be something personal for him.

( Pemberley Hart )

I know we aren't that great yet, but I figured we could get some practice doing some music at this. Plus I kind of wanted to do something for Phil and I'm a sappy asshole so I figured a song could be good. You guys in?

Since I can't sit around feeling sorry for myself all day I might want to start up my sparring sessions again. Anyone still interested? If not... I might actually do the normal thing and look for a job.

[Steve Rogers 616]
I meant to say Happy Birthday the other day. I just... got wrapped up in other things.

Now, in news not related to mocking an American icon and well-respected senior citizen...

We're going to be doing a cook out in the park to celebrate the fourth of July and Steve's birthday. Everyone is welcome. There will be burgers and hot dogs and barbecue and plenty of sides and desserts, but feel free to bring dishes to share. It's going to be pretty relaxed. Just a way for people to get together and have fun. I'm told the town does fireworks, so we'll be hanging around to watch those in the evening too.

Feel free to come join us. It should be a good time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!
CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU ARE REALLY FUCKING OLD!

Guess this applies to both, but I mostly meant my Steve. I mean, I assume the other Steve is also a hilariously tragic cliche of AMERICA.

I'm going to figure this out if it fucking kills me.

Which the way it's going, it very well might.

Can't sleep. Working on this brings back the nightmares.

Have to figure this out. Have to save her. Can't let her

[To Pepper and Bruce]
Don't wait up for me. I'm pulling an all-nighter in the workshop. And no, don't come looking for me either. I need to work on this on my own for the night. Maybe two. I'll check in periodically. Promise.

Don't make me turn either of you away. Because I will.

[To Pepper]
But... can you come by tomorrow? Just you.

Thanks, babe.

There is nothing quite as amusing as playing Cards Against Humanity with Steve Rogers.

I knew science had the answer to everything.

I am now unable to be defeated in rock, paper, scissors lizard Spock.

I just wanted to check and see how you both were settling in. How're you holding up? I know I'm not the Steve you remember, but if either of you needs anything, I hope you know my door is always open.

So. This might be a bit of an unorthodox suggestion, coming from me, but maybe another poker game, like we did months ago, would help smooth over some of the tension that's cropping up?

Everyone feel free to tell me this is an awful idea.

[ Filtered to Clint Barton (MCU) ]

You don't have to come, even if it happens.

So I've been poking around this thing for a couple of days.

I can't say I understand how I got here and I can't get over the feeling that I have to make a mission report.

Uh. Hi? I'm Steve Rogers. Is there a manual?

Maine? Seriously?

Avengers? Anyone here?

Open letter to the boy dating my son:

I'm not going to make idle threats about killing you if you hurt him or break his heart. For one thing, I'm pretty sure Frankie can handle that himself. For another, I'm pretty sure threatening teenagers is illegal or something.

I'm just going to point out that I have a lot of arrows that do a lot of different things. And I don't miss. So just take that as some food for thought.

I would very much like to go home now, please. I miss my family. I am of no use here. I should be helping them remove Ultron's presence from the Earth.

Well...

This certainly isn't Dubai.

Betty is gone.

I... don't know how I feel about this.

There is a pile of drunk, sleeping people in a fort on my floor. I took down some of the blankets to cover them up and I think someone called me a demolition asshole. I have no idea which one. The cats are wearing capes, and Cap-the-other didn't need a blanket because Clint is using him for a body pillow.

I'm back. It was only a day or so here. It was a little longer at home.

[Filtered to Coulson's Team, past and present, + Fury, - Ward]
I don't know any more than anyone here, I think I came in from the same point as May. I'm sorry I don't know how you're doing, Fitz, but I believe you'll come through fine.

I've seen Nick's bad judgement firsthand. So I can at least officially require all the students I don't like at the school call me Director over Principal.

[Filtered to Ward]
I saw it all first hand, this trip back. I don't know what came after what we already knew. I know the version of you that's here didn't do any of it, and I stand by what we already established for this time and this place. But give me a day or two of a little space, once you wake up.

Phil's gone. Again I hate everything I'm lighting his suits on fire in protest Or letting Katniss pee on everything he loves If he doesn't come back, I'm divorcing him

( Nat, Tony, Ward, Bucky, Darcy )

I need to drink until I don't feel feelings anymore.

Lordie, lordie. Look who's 40! Nobody's said anything yet, and since the day's almost over, I thought I would let everybody know so they can get in on the playful teasing.

Our very own Clint Barton just made it to 40 years old. Congratulations on not-dying! Or, you know, dying and then getting resurrected because magic. Either way.

Everyone is always bored or missing people on this thing. Including me. So screw it.

Top five people in town you'd sleep with. Everyone tell me theirs. (I don't care if they're married/dating/into the wrong gender/from a world where they're actually a rabbit. It doesn't have to make sense.)

No picking people who aren't here anymore, because then it's not as funny.

I cannot sleep. I haven't been able to sleep properly for the past couple of nights and I hate it.


( Pepper Potts and Tony Stark )

If I lock myself in my room tonight it isn't that I am purposely avoiding you. It's because I haven't slept well and I feel highly irritable and... I just don't want anything bad to happen.

Right.

So with all these people from my world suddenly having doubles from an alternate world popping up...

WHERE THE HELL IS MY HANDSOME DEVIL DOUBLE? think of the hell we could raise...

Portal. Come on.

Make it happen.

Just as I was thinking I needed a vacation.

As far as portal trips and orientations go, I can't complain. Storybrooke seems like its used to handling a little oddness. To those I don't know yet, I'm Steve Rogers. Regardless of the circumstances, I'm looking forward to making your acquaintance.

Avengers, I was told some of you were here. Check in?
