Hello everybody I am Emma Swan-St. John and I am the Deputy Mayor of Storybrooke. Regina Mills used to run the place but....we drove her out when she started dating this weird guy called "The Master". How they are out there running around without the curse affecting them....I don't even know.....ANYWAY My dad David Nolan, yeah I know he looks my age long story there, runs the place with his new girlfriend but he assigned my wonderful Husband Mick and I to help with guests and newcomers from "The Land Without Magic".
On behalf of our family we welcome you to Storybrooke.
Now before you enter you must know the story about this place. Orginally this place was the enchanted forest. When my son Henry came up to me with this story (if you would like to know the full tale he's the little expert so if you have any questions he will gladly let you read the book) I didn't believe it myself but the main point of this story is we are all a bunch of characters.....no really we are ALL a bunch of characters brought here by a curse set by the evil Queen. But part of the curse was recently broken while the characters remember who they are, they are not COMPLETELY back so please don't be alarmed if there are some magical things going on.
With that said we hope you enjoy your stay. We have plenty of fun events
The Mayors Mansion - Mick and I are happy to accomidate visitors since we have many guest rooms open if you don't feel like staying at Granny's, just please don't make a mess.
Granny's Bed and Breakfast.
Some Cool places to See:
Granny's Dinner
The Wishing Well
Storybrooke Docks (That and the Wishing Well are pretty Romantic Places FYI)
Toll Bridge
Mr. Gold's Shop -whispers- avoid making deals with the Owner
RP wise it is a free for all week. You can do whatever you want whether it be dirty....clean...fluffy or angst ridden.....but there will be some cool interactive features you have the option of doing:
Events- Ill be posting an event thread once every two-three days, this is optional for those who are in the midsts of intense threads, but it's mainly group threads and social gatherings in the town its there so characters can socialize and have fun with their buddies and stuff.
Question/challenge of the Day Every day I will be posting a new thread for the "question and/or challenge of the day" pretaining to the theme of this week. Keep your eyes peeled for the questions you don't want to miss this, especially because I cant wait for the interesting. At the end of the week there will be voting and people will be rewarded in a shotout post.

So help me Zedd, if you sent me here through a backfired spell, I will not be happy.
*starts heading down the street, hoping to figure out where she is and how to get back home*

If you are going for daring, I would suggest less plumage. Although, I am not really one for hats. They are more nuisances than anything else. At least yours is not as ridiculous as that of the Prelate.

*looks at you again*
I am not one for fashion advice. Kahlan, and even Richard, are better at it than I. I can not bring myself to care about it. I was forced to wear a dress, and I disliked it immensely. However, perhaps it does accentuate the color of your eyes, if one can draw one's eyes away from it long enough to notice.
Why are you wearing the hat? Do you seek to acquire someone's attention?

Work for what? Sex? *smirks* Most choose to stay far away from a Mord'Sith where sex is concerned. We choose who we wish, and it is not for the weak.
*laughs*
Richard is the Lord Rahl. And he is entirely besotted with Kahlan. However, he will occasionally be distracted from our situation by frivolities. Such as clothing choices. *rolls eyes* Or rescuing kittens.
As I said, I wouldn't know. Those in my company rarely wear hats. As we are on the road much more often than at court. Thankfully. And most of my wardrobe is in my pack that I carry with me. I would not care to spare the room for hats.
Vacation?

Well, I, we, have cultivated a bit of a reputation. Most cannot match our appetites.
*smirks*
If she is not human, what is she? A sorceress? A sister of the light? She cannot be a baneling or a nightwisp.
Why would I get your Taye Diggs? What is a Taye Diggs?
I have lived through things that make nightmares seem pleasant. This? This is not bad at all. A little perplexing, as I am unsure of where I am or how I got here, but other than that... *gives a slight shrug*

Date: 2013-01-07 11:30 pm (UTC)Oh, she is a Sister of the Dark? They have come out in the open more of late, what with the rift. They are slightly more challenging than banelings, but usually I have no problems sending them back to their master, the Keeper.
Who is Veronica? And why do you allow her to steal from you? You should make a stand against her or others will also think that you are easy to control.
I am not particularly hungry, but a tavern might be a good idea. I should be able to obtain information there. Do you know of one around here?

Date: 2013-01-08 04:25 am (UTC)Repairing rifts is not my idea of fun. But it is better than banelings. The undead are an annoyance.
Who is Harry Potter? And it is not "keepers". There is only one Keeper of the Underworld.
As long as you steal from her to balance things out. You would not wish for her to have power over you. It is much better for you to have power over her.
*looks at your phone*
Which mapmaker created that for you? It does not look like the work of anyone I know.
But, yes, a tavern sounds like a good idea.
