Oh bugger all I meant to do this before today I know it's last minute but James and I are getting married tomorrow and I'd really love it if you were there.

[Marlene and Dorcas]
I've spent the past two days trying to figure out which of you to ask I can't choose so I'm just going to ask both of you - be my Maid of Honor?

Wow. This place really does exist.

I think Charlie owes me five dollars.

Speaking of, husband mine, you had better be here. Otherwise, I'm kicking your butt when I get back to Elysium.

If you knew them, it looks like Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson are both gone home to fight without us.

Private to Jason

An according to this tablet, you and I are now roommates.

So, I'm not sure I'm all that good at being a boyfriend. I mean, it's nothing to do with her, it's more to do with me. I mean, fighting titans and stuff, that's easy. That's what I was raised for. But like, what I learned about romance from my dad is basically how easy it is to screw stuff up with the world if you can't stop sleeping around. So not a lot of help there.

Sometimes it feels that I'm just going to disappoint her, and I really don't want to do that. So, like, any suggestions?

So it's 2014. Think Gaea has everything destroyed back home? Maybe that's why we're all here.

I can't stand it, not knowing what's happening.

Lissa, have you seen Rose?


Has anyone seen Rose Hathaway?

Here? Again? Do the gods think I need some sort of time-out after every play?

Thalia is gone. So are Charlie, Silena, and Clarisse.

This sucks. Thalia and Clarisse go back to fighting a war, and Charlie and Silena go back to being dead.

I need to hit something. Anyone want to spar?

A ball? Like with fancy dresses and stuff? Cool.

Demigods & friends* who are girls

I have no idea how to shop for a dress, but I think I want to go. I mean, assuming Jason is into it. Help?

*Piper's pretty friendly, so if you want to say your kid is friends with her, go for it! She's a student at the HS, so if your kid goes there, you can assume she's at least said hi before!

You know, it was okay when we first got here, but now...I need to get home. Like, we have things to do. Worlds to save. I don't have time to just sit here, you know?

Who's up for crashing the Charmings' Thanksgiving dinner?

Pulled through a magical portal to Maine. Exactly what I needed right now. Thanks for that. I definitely wasn't doing anything important or anything.

Well, that was weird. I guess everyone's back to normal now, right?

You know, it's been over a month since I've been here, and the gods haven't tried to screw with us even once. I think I could get used to it here.

[Thalia]

I think you need an arial view of this town.

[Piper]

I'm going to try to make dinner tomorrow. For you. Because I just might be the luckiest man alive, and I want you to know it.

I'm so glad I didn't have to deal with that whole thing. I mean, I can deal with weirdness, don't get me wrong, but I would not want to be a guy. Gross.

Piper, Drew, we should do something. Halloween is coming up, we can go shopping for costumes.

( Charlie )

Want to be my date for whatever Halloween shenanigans happen, Mr. Beckendorf?

So, I think I need a Halloween costume. I haven't dressed up in a long time, but this year it feels like I should. I mean, there's got to be Halloween parties going on. I just don't know what I should dress up as. I should probably ask Annabeth what she's thinking of. I am so glad she's a girl again. That was weird.

Being a demi-god, I'm used to dealing with some pretty weird stuff.

...But I think waking up as a guy tops all of that. I'll take monsters to fight over this any day.

Percy, can I borrow some clothes please?

You know what's kind of comforting? Even in a weird town in the middle of Maine full of magic and superheroes, Microsoft Word still sucks. That's what I get for being lazy and just using what was already installed. Half an essay trashed.

Watching new fall TV is weird when you've met some of the people.

Um, so, someone PLEASE tell me why I'm stuck in some lame town that reminds me of depressing places I'd NEVER go? And I have none of my CLOTHES and most importantly, my PINK EYELINER??? How can I LIVE without my pink eyeliner?? I don't suppose there's a Sephora in this lame town?

I'm told there are other Camp Halfblood people here so...hello!

And for all you cute boys out there, I'm Drew.

Working in the stables almost makes me miss Blackjack. I never thought I'd miss being harassed by a pegasus.

With everyone who has left recently, I'm glad that Piper and Jason are back.

I don't really get how I'm supposed to just go to a party live a regular life like a normal kid here when I'm supposed to be helping close the doors of death. They expect me to go to school, I guess, and just be a regular kid, but I don't even know if I know how to do that anymore, not that I was ever very good at it to begin with.

I wish my dad was here, at least. He'd love this place.

Um, what?

How

Jason? Leo?

Hey, everyone.

My name is Kitty Pryde. Back in my own reality, I was the Headmistress of the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. Here in Storybrooke, I've been working with Mayor Mills to set up a communal space for all the youth, both local and displaced.

Basically, the point is that the Storybrooke Youth Center will be opening soon, to give the kids and teenagers in Storybrooke a place to hang out and have fun in a safe environment. There will be areas for athletic activity, as well as places to socialize, and even to study once school rolls around. What we're hoping is that we can create a space where the young people in town can interact in a safe environment that promotes positive attitudes.

The point of this post is that the center will need staff. I will be running things, along with my colleague, Logan Howlett, but we definitely need more people in order to get this operation up and running. If you're interested, please contact me here, or you can email your information to me at pryde.katherine@storybrooke.gov. We really appreciate any support that we can get.

Also, classes will be staring at the Elementary, Junior High and High Schools, as well as the Community College, on September 3, the Tuesday following labor day. All children and teens under the age of eighteen are required to register for school. Please use the following form to provide your information, or that of your child, and we'll get them into the system so that they're registered for classes.

<b>Student's Name:</b> <b>Age & Date of Birth:</b> <b>Parent or Guardian:</b> <b>Former Level of Schooling:</b> <b>Any Special Needs:</b>

We'll be doing one on one counseling for high school and college students, to help them pick classes. We will also be working with any students who have special requirements outside of typical academic programs, in order to best help them.

Thank you all very much and we appreciate your help and cooperation.

So I'm curious and a bit obsessive and wondered about everyone since we have so many amazing people here. I'd love to know where everyone is from, what they can do, and you know, if you're not totally human, what you are. I'll start!

I'm Charlie, I'm from a world much like this one, and I'm run of the mill human. I don't have any special powers or anything, just some mad computer and gaming skills.

Feel free to use filters if you don't want to share with the whole class!

So, looks like I'm roomies with Nico now. This should be interesting.

Okay, this is probably going to be a lost cause, but I'm asking anyway. There wouldn't happen to be a forge or anything like that here, would there?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah hey guys, what the Hades just happened?

Alright, so I finally filled out that mandatory thing. I'm still not happy about it, but I did it. So, my birthday is this month. My first where I won't be able to talk to my mother at all. I want to do something, but I don't know what exactly. I haven't actually gotten to do something normal on my birthday for awhile.

Hello! I was told that I could introduce myself here and find people I know. So that's what I'm doing.

This was kind of weird for about five minutes, until I realized that I wasn't dead. I then assumed that the gods are playing some kind of weird trick because they realized I wasn't a hero at all and I deserved to be, but then I decided that it probably wasn't the case. At least, I hope it's not the case. No offense, gods, if you can hear/see/read this! I'm just kind of over a lot of things.

Anyway, then I realized that I was alive and that's kind of awesome. Don't get me wrong! Elysium is a pretty awesome place, but not being dead? Kind of a plus side in my life right now.

Oh, and of course I forgot to introduce myself because I'm a special snowflake. I'm Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite. I don't suppose anyone has seen a large guy about a million feet tall and nice and bulky that goes by Beckendorf? Orrr Luke Castellan? I'd also be pretty happy with that, but I'd really like Charlie. (No offense, Luke! You'll always be my bro.)

[Filtered to PJO-verse]
Hey. So...I'd been debating whether I should say anything or if I should just leave you guys alone, and I decided I needed to say this.

First, I know that there's no apology that could ever make up for what I did. People, including some of you, died because of what I made happen and what I let happen. I'm not saying any of this because I want any of you to forgive me. I know I don't deserve that, and I don't expect it. I'm saying this because I'm trying to do the right thing this time around, and I think that has to include facing what I did before.

So...I'm sorry. I can't even say how much. I won't go through any of the explanation unless somebody wants me to, because I don't really think it's important - I did what I did, and it was wrong. I just want you all to know that I don't want to hurt anyone anymore, and I'm going to do my best not to bother anybody here, especially not any of you. If you do want to talk to me, or yell at me, or anything else, let me know. I'll be around.

And I guess that's it. Thanks for reading.

Huh.

Did Hera do this too?

Not trying to be a spoil sport, but I kinda need to get back to Rome. And my friends. They won't find the Doors of Death without me.

I think I should go out and look for some kind of job here. It might be nice to feel like a normal teenager again.

A curfew. What the Hades. As if we haven't been taking care of ourselves and not trashing any place all our lives!

Well, aside from Percy. But still. A curfew.

Well, a town in Maine is better than Tartarus, I guess. Even though I do have something really important I need to do at home.

Introductions, I guess. I'm Annabeth Chase. Would anyone mind telling me if they've seen anyone named Percy Jackson, Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, Hazel Levesque, or Frank Zhang around? Or even a Thalia Grace?

So I know there was some get-together at Granny's like...the night I got here, I think, but I didn't make it and I know a lot of other teens have shown up since.

Who's up for our own teens-only bonfire on the beach tonight?

My name is Clark Kent and I, like you, am a recent transplant to Storybrooke. I'm also a recent addition to the Daily Mirror staff.

I'm doing a daily feature on some of the town's residents, both new and old, and I'd love to have a chat with anyone interested in participating. If you are, please let me know. We can meet up for a coffee or I can conduct an interview right here on the network. It's up to you.

Thanks in advance.

SUP EVERYONE.

Darcy Lewis here again and I think we should have a mixer. We can hang out at that Granny's Diner tonight, have a meet and greet, eat some pie, I can bring the tunes. Anyone in? Bring your party shoes and listening ears.

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.

<b>NAME:</b> <b>AGE/DOB:</b> <b>PREVIOUS RESIDENCE:</b> <b>PAST OCCUPATION:</b> <b>ANY SPECIAL SKILLS/ABILITIES:</b> <b>ANY SPECIAL NEEDS:</b> <b>ANYTHING ELSE:</b>


[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!]

Uh. Well, this is unexpected. Not as out of the ordinary as it probably should be, but unexpected. Nice to have my memory this time I was plopped somewhere weird, though.

Anyway, I'm Jason Grace, son of Jupiter. Any chance there are some other demigods about, because that would be phenomenal and make this whole thing a little less crazy.
