I forget.

Is it against the rules for me to attempt to use magic to get rid of my baby's cold? Tally is in misery. My poor little girl.

Bae Neal

Neal -- do you have a moment you could spare?

Tomorrow from noon till 6 pm, I will be in my office. If you have any questions, concerns, complaints, etc that you would like to air in person, my door will be open to hear them. After 6 pm, I'm afraid I won't be as readily available for a few more weeks as I've taken personal time.

Clint Barton

What are your plans for tomorrow?

Phil Coulson

I'll be in my office no later than 11 am tomorrow if you're still interested in relocating to a house.

Emma and Neal

Congratulations

So, magic's back. That's a thing.

And...uh...Emma had the baby.

I totally meant to post something or tell people. But...I kind of panicked?

Not that I'm inclined, but if someone were prone to mutiny this would be an excellent time to take over the town and create a monarchy, given the lack of magic and related nonsense.

I imagine there's a few ladies in town who would make excellent queens and haven't had a go yet.

Everyone is always bored or missing people on this thing. Including me. So screw it.

Top five people in town you'd sleep with. Everyone tell me theirs. (I don't care if they're married/dating/into the wrong gender/from a world where they're actually a rabbit. It doesn't have to make sense.)

No picking people who aren't here anymore, because then it's not as funny.

hello

help

Well, it certainly looks like things are getting more interesting around here.

Is everyone going to start bringing their crazy Nazi baggage from back home now? I'd just like a heads up if that's going to be a big thing.

( Papa )

I can't believe I'm asking this, but is there some kind of magic we could use to sort this out? Nothing big, but I know there's minor magic that doesn't have the same costs. It's not like everything goes to hell every time we do a locator spell. Aside from lining them up and asking point blank if they're evil while Emma uses her lie detector power, or waiting and hoping, it definitely seems like the best option.

I just don't like the idea of that kind of threat going around unchecked and unknown when Emma's pregnant. Call me overprotective, but I want to know that my family's safe.

You find out the most interesting things on your lunch break sometimes.

For example, I just found out that I'm pregnant. Can't say that that's what I expected.

Granted, it was a possibility. My husband and I have a lot of sex, and it's not like we're always exactly "careful".

Well, that was fun.

( Papa )

Thanks. It was nice, having that again.

( Emma )

Hey, you.

We should get married. Now. Before one of us gets turned into a cat or something.

Where am I? Is this a new foster home?

...And who are these weird boys I'm with? One's dressed funny, and the other one is talking funny and keeps calling us Mom and Dad. I think he maybe hit his head on something. I'm ten, I can't be anyone's Mom.

Hello?

Am I using this thing right?

What is this place?

Is this the land without magic?

How in the world did I leave Neverland? Pan is going to be so angry.

I'm really glad that sorted itself out. I wasn't looking forward to unstable magic just changing things. or arrogant kids assuming they can just fix magic

( Friends and family of Neal and Emma )

Em and I didn't want to say anything while things were such a mess, because the timing wasn't really right, but you should all know now that I asked Emma to marry me. And she said yes.

It seems as though spending time as the administrator of Briarcliff has finally gotten to me.

What is this... device?

WQ23245GTD235323214!!!! EMERGENCY. STAT.

NEED CLOTHES.

Okay, I've spoken to some people one on one, but this is probably an easier way to go about it.

Everyone, try not to panic. There's a lot of unstable magic around because of the portals and the near destruction of the town, and the fact that it's taken this long for anything to happen means that it probably isn't very strong. I know it's pretty unsettling to wake up in a body that isn't yours, but it really is mild compared to some things that could happen. And odds are it probably won't last very long. A week or two at the most. I suck at this

If anyone has questions or needs help adjusting to this probably temporary inconvenience, please feel free to come by my apartment. I live in Tower One, Apartment 109.

Apparently, half the town woke up in different bodies today. Sooo glad I'm not one of them, but if you need clothes for your new bodies, come down to MODERN FASHIONS. If you're too ashamed/embarrassed/whatever to go out in public, give me your name and approximate size and I'll see what I can do about bringing you something to wear. And I'll try not to laugh too hard

Filter: Josh

You still you, Joshy?

And I thought Storybrooke couldn't get any stranger.

I was wrong.

I hate being wrong.

I've been trying to figure out a way to reverse the whole gender mixup thing that's going around (which I had nothing to do with, just saying), but so far I am having no luck. Sorry guys (and girls), you might be stuck that way for awhile.

Friends

How many of you guys got hit with the whammy, by the way?

Anyone says anything, I can still rip out your throats.

|FILTERED TO KITTY|
This is Derek. I saw your friend Jess as I was going into my apartment. I wanted to tell you before she told you I had some girl in my place.

Also, can I borrow some clothes? Cora is taller than me.
|/FILTERED|

WHAT THE HELL?!

This...this is new. Not unpleasant.

|FILTERED TO SAM AND THEIR FRIENDS |
This is Dean.

I'm apparently now a girl.

And I didn't do anything. I swear.

So it would seem that with the sudden decision on the portals part to send several people back, the Hanged Man is short handed and once again hiring. We still have a full staff of bartenders but are in need of a new waitress or two and could still use some help in the kitchens if anyone is interested.

Well, the town emptied out rather quick, didn't it?

The cool day we are having speaks of fall settling in. About now is when I would normally be preparing to sail off for warmer waters. I do not fancy weathering out the winter. Alas what is one to do.

[Filtered to Rebekah Mikaelson]
How are you, luv?

[Filtered to Bae Neal Cassidy]
How are you settling back in?

Also, I need you to change the scheduling for the bar to give Sam Merlotte the nights of the full moon off.

[Filtered to Henry Mills]
How are you, lad? Everything going okay?

While it's nice to see familiar faces around this "modern" kingdom, I would not mind a rest from magic for a bit of time.

I have to say, it's good to be back.

Wasn't sure I'd ever make it back, to be honest

Think I could get set up with one of those apartments, Em? I'm not sure staying at Granny's again is the best option. It was fine when I was planning on heading back to Manhattan, but even if I could leave, I think it's time to put down some roots.

( Emma )

Maybe you could join me there. You and Henry both.

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.
