I was just thinking I needed a holiday but this... Oh, this is brilliant is what it is. Alternate worlds brought together without disrupting the flow of time. Of course you were all taken here against your will and we can't have that. Not even in a lovely pocket universe like this one. Should probably get on fixing that.

Hello, I'm the Doctor.

I know not much goes on here in town but I'm sure there's a local news station, right? Who can I get in touch with for an interview? I miss writing. I thought about restarting my blog here but who's going to believe I am who I say I am when the whole world thinks I'm a fictional character? It's still so bizarre.

You know, I get that it sucks to have the big tentpole blockbuster movie flash your life up for everyone.

But I'm having a hard time feeling that sorry for the movie people when us TV people basically get our lives screwed up every week. So, sorry movie folk. It sucks for you too, but TV people, here's to weekly torture fests. Literally, in a few cases here and there.

How often do comics come out? Like monthly, right? I guess your level of fucked up is closer to us, so Jason and other Roy and all, you get included too.

If anyone gets the smart idea to mention this "Supernatural" show to my brother, I will cut your throat. Don't think I won't. I'm not trying to be mean here or anything, but it's just a request. Me, asking a bunch of random people for a favor. He can't know.

I know some of the stories here. I've heard before, but I haven't. And you can talk from faraway on this. It carries through electricity. Like magic.

It makes noises like clicking when you push letters. I like that.

Some of the people here walked out of stories into a world that's more real to people here, and less to them. I wish Varric was here. Maybe he could meet his stories and see them the way he does in his head.

What is ice cream? A woman with her heart in pieces told me I should have some when I said he still cared.

Hello people whose faces I know. And people whose faces I don't know. The faces don't matter so much, but it's nice to see the same ones sometimes.

The things this world considers entertainment is amazing.

They are making a movie about the Suicide Squad. Dig would flip.

Anyway, on to a far less confusing topic. I need help choosing a dress for the ball. This one or this one or this last one. I really like this one but I think it's a bit too fancy for me.

Most of us are aware that it's the holiday season, so I'm here to ask some questions that could be helpful for some of the newer residents. I'm hoping any answers will be especially useful for anyone new to the neighborhood that have no idea what is going on, what to do, or why Santa may have thrown up Christmas cheer on everything.

1. Is Storybrooke doing anything special this year for the holidays or New Year's Eve?
2. What events are happening that some people might not be aware of?
3. Does anyone need volunteers for anything?

And last but not least, does anybody want some randomly knitted things or food? Muffins? Christmas cookies? I have too much of everything in my efforts to get into the spirit of the season. For god's sake, I have even knitted some gun holsters. ...I may have taken this hobby too far...

So. Zombies. Thanks, Storybrooke.

...Is this this our first real life threatening Storybrooke event?

And to whom it may concern, I'm sorry you all have to go through this again.

Oh, good, zombies. I was just thinking to myself, you know, I haven't seen zombies in years, we should have zombies. Who says wishes don't come true?

Anyone else here got survival skills? Been thinking of setting up somethin' to give people in this messed up town some skills. Just in case this place decides to go to hell like home did.

This place got a shootin' range of some kind? Need somethin' bigger than beer cans to practice with.

A magic portal, congrats Storybrooke. You actually managed to surprise me with that one.

An introduction shouldn't be necessary, but in case your educational background has grossly failed you and you've yet to pick up the academic slack, I'm Nikola Tesla.

I don't suppose anyone has any insight on the state of the scientific research facilities in this charming, quaint unintended containment area? Or if not that, the location of an establishment with a decent wine selection.

When I first got here, I tried to catch up on fairy tales, but that's actually less relevant than they said it was. I should have gone for comic books, but then they told me the ones people are from are mostly not even here. There should be somewhere to go for background research that's actually relevant. Because as it is, I just ask Felicity. Which usually works, but she may be slightly sick of it.

So anyone who wants to tell me about their world?

Have you noticed that while we have all these apparent hero and vigilante types around, we are sorely lacking in the villain department? Not that I'm complaining, really. Sure, we have the little magical misadventures, but nothing really evil or villainous as far as I've been able to tell. Unless I'm mistaken there is no one person causing them to happen either, right?

Anyway, it's making me feel a little paranoid lately. Does any one else feel like the other shoe is ready to drop on top of this place while being attached to a hundred foot giant?
...Wait, that could actually happen with all the magic around, couldn't it. Damn it. Sorry. I've put it into the air of possibilities. If that actually does happen, that one is probably on me for thinking it. Feel free to glare in my direction if it springs to life like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

And this has been on my mind lately and has absolutely nothing to do with what I was just talking about. What exactly happens to pets that any of us adopt if we suddenly vanish from Storybrooke? Do they just get taken back to the shelter or what?

Boredom.

Let's play Fuck/Marry/Kill.

Either just pick someone, anyone for each category or give each other three names and stick them in the categories.

You guys know how to play, right?

I'll start.

Fuck: Raylan Givens. Because of reasons.
Marry: Clark Kent
Kill: Clint, if only because if I put him in the other categories, I might get shanked or something.

Your turn.

I'm starting to think we should have a proper term for when these "events" happen.
For the record, if I end up a teenager again, I'm apologizing right now for anything I would end up doing. Because I know there would be something. It would probably involve underage drinking, breaking and entering, and any military vehicle available.

Seriously though, don't ever change, Storybrooke. Really. You keep things interesting in your own special way.
So how many of us are still unaffected so far?

Since Christmas is the time of year people are supposed to get what they ask for - whoever keeps asking for more Paranormal Activity movies to be made should probably stop. This new one looks like it's even more ridiculous than the last ones I think this is what the 5th one? Eventually enough is enough.

I found this when I was surfing the internet for something to distract me. Anything to avoid having to figure out how to hang the decorations straight that are above my head.

[Private to Fili]
I didn't think it would take me so long to find. Here's a video of your home that I found online. I know it's not the same as being there but I hope it helps some.

[Private to Lois Lane-Queen]
Since we work together and you're probably the closest thing I have to a female friend here - any chance I could bribe you into going shopping with me for something to wear to this New Year's Eve Ball? I decided that just because Barbie's gone is no reason why I shouldn't go and at least try and have some fun at the thing right?

So.. I just had a conversation with Hermey the elf about modern dental practices and whether or not the dentists here in town are any good. If this were high school I'd be pretty sure I had five too many jello shots, but since I haven't had a drink in days, I'm going to assume this is Storybrooke's idea of a Christmas card brought to life.

But hey, if someone sees Santa around, let me know. I have a few choice words for him about Christmas of 1993. Seriously though, does anyone think he's going to show up now? Because that actually might be amazing.

And this whole ball thing... is this a legitimate fairy tale type of ball or what? Having been to different kinds of formal functions over the years, I kind of want to get it straight before I make a huge faux pas of some kind. The last time I did that at a formal affair it ended up with an ambassador in tears and his wife wanting her bodyguards to throw me out a window. Good times.

Sorry for all the trees I lit on fire, I lost count of how many there were by the time this was over, and any general weirdness on my part. That was a new one, even for me.
It should have ruined Halloween for me, but I can honestly say that it didn't. It just makes me want to plan my costume choices a lot better. And possibly take up LARPing or some tabletop gaming.
Anyway, yeah.. sorry.

Is this finally working? I've been trying to use it for at least two days. I assume that it is a means for communication. Fascinating really, almost as nice as my crystal ball which I seemed to have misplaced. Let me know if you come across it. It's an orb, so it would be round. And made of crystal. I'd love to know what magic gives it power. This thing, not my crystal ball. I know how that works, as I was the one that enchanted it.

But since I have this working, could someone be a dear and tell me where I could find a Gorvil? I came here looking for one that I heard was terrorizing the village, but the only thing I've found was a tree that I'm positive was a Treant plotting to destroy us all. I was forced to set it ablaze to end its tyranny before it started. No need to thank me, but I won't turn down a few gold pieces. Adventurers have to pay for meals too.

Don't worry, the fire will die down in a few hours. Whatever you do, don't touch it. It is a very temperamental spell and when you try to put it out, it simply spreads further. I should fix that, but something always comes up before I'm able to. Just let it die on its own and won't spread unless to agitate it. It will be fine, really.

Now, about that Gorvil. I'll settle for something else if there are any other beasts terrorizing the area, but I need to find it eventually. I simply know I can't leave until I've found it and slain it. Those are the rules and we must always follow the rules of adventuring, until we don't. Follow them I mean.

Oh dear, I think I've found another Treant. I had better go deal with this. A wizard's work is never done!

((OOC: Shortly after this post, another lonely gnarled and completely innocent tree was set on fire. No one would be hurt, but that makes two trees currently on fire. Lois is currently an easily distracted adventuring wizard straight out of a slightly off kilter game of Dungeons & Dragons. She's highly fond of learning, saving people, shiny objects, alcohol, and fire.))

You know, I just realized... There are a lot of kids in this town. I don't remember a bunch of kids in fairy tales other than Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood. And since Red's an adult here, I'm guessing the other two would be as well. So. Who are all the midgets?
