welcome to storybrooke ❧ network community

I know what I've been told, but I'm not entirely convinced that this isn't some sort of last minute training for the new HitWizard.

So there's magic in this town? Fine, I know magic that part isn't exactly surprising for me.

Let's start with some of the basics then. I've been told I have family here? My name is Rose Weasley.

I need a night full of fish and chips and Beatles music. Granny's and YouTube are nice, but sometimes a girl just wants some comfort food and a yellow submarine. Butterbeer would be an added plus, too, but I'm not going to get too needy.

FILTER: EMMELINE VANCE

I FOUND CADBURY DIGESTIVES, and I'm about to eat my weight in them. Please love me even when I'm tubby.

Wotcher, Storybrooke!

I can't rightly say I've ever expected to be pulled through a portal and told to live in another town before. It's going to take some getting used to and I'm going to miss my Mum and Da something fierce, but it's not so bad here, right? At least there isn't a war going on, but it's a bloody shame I'm not there anymore to fight in the one back home anymore.

Right. My name is Tonks and I'm a witch. I was told that's not much of a secret here, is it? That's going to take some getting used to as well, but I can't wait to meet all of the muggles!

Oy, Moony, don't suppose we can fall asleep and skip again to the point where Prongs wins the fair lady, eh?

If I don't see one more magical portal or wand in my lifetime it will be too bloody soon. Thank you so much for interrupting my work day with all of this magic business. And this is precisely why I don't approve of this God-forsaken nonsense. I don't suppose there's a respectable place a girl could find herself a glass of wine or three this early in the afternoon.

At least now I know this wasn't a backfire of my potion.

Hello, everyone. My name is Padma Patil, and this may be one of the most surreal moments of my life.

That sheriff is a bit of alright, isn't she?

Experience has shown me that when something out of the ordinary happens Potter, Black, Peter, and Remus aren't too far to be found, and despite all the solid evidence and people saying that this is really happening and that I am in Maine in the year 2013 punching letters on a "PDA" to communicate with everyone, I'm still not convinced that they didn't have a hand in this. Marlene? Emme? Dorcas? Tuni? Please say you're here as well.

For all of you that don't know me, my name is Lily Evans, and I'd really love a nice, big, steaming cup of tea right now after all of that time traveling business.

Right. Took me a tic to figure this bloody thing out. Never was very good with muggle technology.

This place seems...nice. For a strange town in the future with bloody odd magic. Still prefer London, but I suppose it could be worse.

Marlene, love? I asked, and someone told me you were about.

Right. So things worth noting right now.

1. I'm in the States. I'm the state of Maine, in a town called Storybrooke, to be precise.
   
2. I've been transported here by a magical portal of sorts. Apparently, the magic here is different from what I'm used to.
   
3. I shall need to find a job, since I'm going to be here for awhile, and am going to have to provide for myself.
   
4. Magic exists here, so there's no need in hiding that I'm a witch.

Right, then. Now that I've gotten those things out of the way, I may as well introduce myself. My name is Hermione Granger. I'm eighteen years of age, and I've just graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy, which where I come from, is a school in the Untied Kingdom where young witches and wizards go to harness their abilities and become successful members of magical society afterward. I'm a Muggle-born, which means that neither of my parents have any magical blood in them whatsoever, so I am also well-versed in somethings that wizards that haven't grown up around Muggles or have never taken a Muggle studies class aren't, such as how to use a telephone, or operate a car.

I was top in my class at Hogwarts. I'm very good all manners of spells, translating ancient ruins, and brewing potions. I'm also very organized, have excellent typing skills, and good with numbers.

Right then.

My name is Emma Swan, and I'm the Sheriff here in Storybrooke. You've all met the Mayor, and been given your welcome kits, but if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me, or my deputy, David Nolan.

And if you could all fill this out for me, so I get a feel of who's who, that would be great.

[OOC: Characters, can try to lie, but Emma has had the Blue Fairy charm the form with a spell that prevents people from doing so!]

I have a few questions.

a) Has anyone seen Harry Potter? b) Has anyone seen any gingers that answer to Weasley besides me? c) Where can I find a replacement for the pie this fecking portal made me miss out on?

It's okay if you answer c first.

Well. We certainly didn't have anything quite like this in 1977. This may take some getting used to.

Hello all. Name is Emmeline Vance. I'm from England originally and quite a bit out of time. I have a very important question. Whereabouts can a girl get some decent chocolate around here?

Well, that's one way to wake up. Good thing I had my wand on me

I'm Harry, by the by, Harry Potter. Who's all here?
