welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

I love the way they tell you where you are. Hey, you're in Storybrooke. Like they're telling you what's for lunch.

Anyway, I'm Will. I don't know what's going on.

Seems like my sense of time is still pretty good, since I'm still human. I've been spending a lot of time in the forest, I wanted to get an idea of the land inside the boundaries and how the magic's affecting the animals. I can't talk to them or anything, it's not like there's some kind of language that they all speak but you can get a pretty good idea from their behaviour. A lot of them don't really seem to know anything's wrong, which is good. Either that or they're just used to it now, or don't remember any different. But closer to where the barrier is they seem kind of unnerved, especially the bigger ones.

I hope it's okay I've been leaving my patio doors open. I mean, I don't have a roommate at the moment and if I'm out in the woods it's way easier to just fly I did wonder, is there going to be any summer school or anything? Because September seems like a really, really long time away. Helping in the stables is one thing but I sort of feel like I'm just trying to fill in hours most days. I know this school year isn't quite done and the kids who've been here for ages going the whole time probably want to stab me right now, but maybe it could be optional. And invite adults who are from really different places too.

If this had happened to me a few months ago, I'd be inclined to believe that I've gone mad, but all things considered, I do believe what Has just been explained to me. My question now, however, is, what do we do now? I've found my way to the apartment that has been assigned to me, but I'm not entirely sure what to do with myself now.

I almost forgot, my name is Percy Weasley.

It sucks being here for so long, watching people come and go over and over again. I don't get the point of making friends with people not from your world anymore.

I don't miss my Mom very badly yet. I haven't been here long enough, I guess. She's pretty cool though, she's a vet at the zoo and sometimes she lets me go and watch when they do procedures. Not usually on the really big animals like the rhinoceros or tiger, even though they're sedated so it would be safe anyway, but I've seen them do check ups on otters and anteaters and things. I'm never sure if I want to specialise in exotics like her or local wildlife for rehab centers. I guess the problem with exotics is that it limits where you can work though, and it would be nice to stay near home.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the fantastic mothers out there. And if your kids or your mom isn't here, take someone nice out to dinner anyway.

I'm going flying. Anyone want to join me?

I got an ant-farm! This is AWESOME. There are NOT enough science books at the library or used bookstore though. I did find a really nice journal for my ant farm and a pen to go with it.

If I'm going to be here I should get a job. I have no skills beyond getting things out of high places and a lifetime spent around heroes. Is there somewhere that needs a slightly underage employee? I can be a lot taller if that helps?

Okay. On Saturday, if the weather's any good, I'm going to go swim at the beach. If there's anyone who maybe isn't a very strong swimmer, let me know beforehand so I can lifeguard. I'll probably head there about 2pm and stay until a bit before 4 so let's say supervised swimming from 2-3.30. Just look for:



and say hi. (I don't know if that picture's actually a bottlenose but I don't think there'll be any other dolphins around.)

If there's nearly four months until the next school year I've got to get some kind of job, I guess, maybe part time? I don't know. Are there rules about this? Obviously I'm really good with animals and both my parents are vets. We have a wildlife rehab centre in our barn too. But I'm only 16 which probably cuts down on my options. Are there any animal places sort of short on staff or anything?

I'm not sure I approve of my being in Storybrooke for almost the entirety of a school year.

Though it beats spending the entirety of a school year killing walkers.

I will watch Judith tonight if you want to take Ms. McCall out to dinner or something.

Sorry. Does anyone know of there's anywhere to swim here?

I... I really miss it.

I hate technology. Why do people keep insisting on me using technology for everything. What happened to going to the local bar and having a few drinks as a way to get to know people? Now it's all interwhatsis this and online that. Even fighting crime online now...thankfully that's what my partner is for. But even she insists on this technology stuff.

Where's a girl to get some civilian clothes, and a cheeseburger around here? Somehow running around in my uniform just seems like a bad idea.

what's a superhero?

And what's prom?

How does this box work? ...please?

So from what was explained, I'm basically seeing this as a resort town for superheroes. It could stand to be a bit warmer, but I'm from California so I'm pretty much always going to think that, let's be honest. Anyway, I for one don't care if it's magic, aliens, science, the Ellimist, Crayak or whatever, I think I'm about due for a time out from saving the world.

Hi. I'm Cassie, and I'm an alcoholic. (Sorry, that's a bit of a Marco joke.) Actually I'm an Animorph. After having to hide it at all costs for three years it feels pretty good to just be able to announce it like that. I can now back home too, except I don't really need to. Everyone knows who we are now.

Anyway, I'm 16 so I still have another year of school, but if it's May now there's not really much point starting here, is there? Not unless I'm still here in September.
