welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

98 Years young. If you don't count the dead stretch in the middle, that's a pretty decent run.

Peg, Steve, Barnes, I'm going to go find a cake, you should come by. Bring whoever you want. You too if you want, Tony.

I'm buying it, not trying to make it, don't start getting ready for fires, Jarvis.

You know, watching all the comings and goings in this place...

It's a bigger revolving door than the one that used to lead to my bedroom.

And that's saying something.

Well isn't this quaint.

It's weird watching the show in this world based on your life after it's already happened. So many things make sense now. Dottie disappearing. The whole sudden switch between Stark being a traitor then a hero which I never bought. Why Peg's meathead coworkers came looking for her.

It's so strange to think it's been decades since I've seen my mom. Seen my friends. Decades since I've been on a date. Which is sad in itself because I'm adorable. I think I need a change.

Ruby? Will you take me shopping?

Even if he's here, I am ignoring that father's day happened.

( So I may be an atheist, but apparently this is what God was thinking when he 'made me'. )

Possibly accurate.

Any other takers? http://howyouare.com/godcreatedme/

How much of the history in this world sticks across worlds? Different worlds, different backgrounds, but the big moments stay mostly the same? Looks like when you dig, if it's not somewhere that's got a whole different set up, a lot of it looks similar.

Interesting, isn't it, trying to figure out what's real when everything's real somewhere?

Peg, I don't want to try anything you've already ruled out, waste of both our time, so should I figure people have already thought about testing the limits in the air, or underground to try to get past whatever border's holding us in here?

I took over that table in the back of the shop with some parts I got from a kid in town. Nothing dangerous, but maybe don't knock into it too hard with anything. Or light a cigarette in that corner.

One and only son, I hear. We should probably have a talk.

Interesting machinery you're carting around with you pal.

[STEVE, HOWARD, JARVIS, ANGIE, SOUSA, BUCKY, TONY mcu]

Thursday, 6 o'clock. We're having supper at my house. Bring a date if you want.

This week, I purchased a new pair of hiking boots. The discarded pair, incidentally, lasted a little more than a month. I suppose I admit that the trails round Storybrooke are quite engaging. In June, however, I should like to learn sailing.

[HOWARD STARK & EDWIN JARVIS]

Gentlemen:

Given that we three are now here, it would be capital to begin meeting regularly.This is a most peaceful town, quite sleepy in comparison to the dramatic flair that we are accustomed to, but I should think our vigilance would not go remiss. I am proprietress of the local watchworks and the both of you are welcome to work with me there. Let the record indicate that Howard may only touch the toys if he means to enhance them.

Otherwise, I might yet show you what I've been up to. The technology is clearly more advanced than our time but, in addition to our rural setting, there are other elements that I've collected which could be useful for maintaining surveillance. In our way, of course. In addition to Steve, there are a whole host of other powered individuals. I've done my best to keep a handwritten catalog of them, so that we are aware of their abilities. But people come and go very quickly here.

Nevertheless. Do provide me with your thoughts.

Best,
MC

I did not properly introduce myself the other day when I arrived, and I was told it is the polite thing to do. Although I find myself not terribly comfortable with this device yet. My name is Edwin Jarvis, I am Mr. Howard Stark's butler, and occasionally Ms. Peggy's Carter assistant.

It is a pleasure to meet you. Or "meet" in terms of this electronic version of it.

So. How do you tell someone you killed them?

Well this is...

I don't remember booking a trip to Maine.

Is 'magic' really the best explanation we have?

So bright shiny future where they've got half the world at people's fingertips, but people are still driving around on the same basic four wheels.

Where can I get some tools around here?
