welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

Learned to use the internet. Wish I hadn't.

That ain't Steve

I've been thinking. We've had a lot of new arrivals lately that are still trying to get their bearings as far as what this place is all about. And with next weekend being a holiday, I thought it might not be a bad idea to throw some sort of get together so everyone new has a chance to talk to the more established, get a decent grounding on things.

So. Who's up for helping me set up a barbecue next weekend? Potluck, we can all pitch in something and hopefully the weather will hold out to let us enjoy the park.

Well, this was bloody inconvenient.

Sherlock Holmes. You better bloody well be here.

I wonder if I'll ever get used to my new home here. Everything is so different, but I have to say that I feel a lot safer here than I did back at home. I just wish Landon was here with me, all we have is each other and I hate to think that he's without his older sister.

That being said, it is very beautiful here. It almost reminds me of District 12, with all the trees. Not that I ever been out into the woods before, but I used to look at the tree line and wonder what it was like.

Really?  Random town, Maine?  Isn't there somewhere better I could have been mysteriously sent to?

Hello, my name is Sydney.

Assuming what I've been told is true and that I really have been transported to small town Maine in another reality that is similar, but not the same as my own and I'm not in the middle of a very vivid hallucination, I have a very important question.

Where can I get a really good cup of coffee? Preferably a large one.

I am going to assume that leaving Storybrooke doesn't mean that I can go back to Westeros.

Magic that held everyone here was undone by a child. There will never be a day when I understand the ways of it. Though I felt the barriers go down. It was unpleasant.

The world is open now, did you want to take time to go explore it? It's likely better I not be seen and stay here, but you should go, if you want.

Hello?

Am I using this correctly?
