Once Upon A Time / Storybrooke Week
Jan. 6th, 2013 06:12 pm
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.

Interesting... If ever we are together for more than a weekend in the future, it might be something worthy of exploration.

Date: 2013-01-16 04:08 am (UTC)It isn't particularly. I'm not exactly the fairy tale type.
*rests her hands on your hips*
*leans into your touch a bit*
*gives a wry grin*
Which is almost enough to make me reconsider working with you.

Date: 2013-01-16 08:29 pm (UTC)*smirks a bit, then slides his hand down her shoulder, toying with the fabric there*
It is one of the benefits of the job, certainly.
Sark
no subject
Date: 2013-01-17 12:03 am (UTC)I have. However I have mentioned any number of things to you over the past year or so. I'm surprised you would remember.
*light smirk*
*maneuvers her fingers under your shirt to lightly caress your sides*
Hmmmm.... there seem to be several of those. I'm having a difficult time remembering why I didn't choose to work with you.

Date: 2013-01-17 01:00 am (UTC)*grins a bit at her caress*
I'm certain it was for a good reason.

Date: 2013-01-17 01:26 am (UTC)*pauses, trying to keep a straight face*
*cannot, and laughs softly*
*gives you a quick kiss*
Yes, of course I recall. Although, I did not entirely focus on the timing aspect of it. This is a remarkably similar situation to that one. Apparently December is not our month for exciting locales?
*runs her hands up your front under your shirt and lightly trails her nails back down*
*light smirk*
I suppose we shall have to make do as best we can with the limited options we have available.
*half distracted, still lightly moving her hands across your stomach:*
And, yes, I'm sure my reasons were perfectly valid at the time. As I do tend to be rather rational. I am just having difficulty remembering what they were.
~ Bela
no subject
Date: 2013-01-17 02:22 am (UTC)Considering what it is we did to occupy our time, I would certainly hope it was not unmemorable. But yes, I completed my job that month on the eleventh of December, and the day after was when I met with you. So I believe it has been almost exactly a year now. It does have a certain amount of symmetry, does it not?
*emits a light sigh at her nails on his skin*
You will find no argument from me.
Mmh. Well, the offer is always open, for when you are less distracted.
*moves in to kiss her gently*
Sark
no subject
Date: 2013-01-17 03:04 am (UTC)Oh, you mean the carnival games and the shooting range? Yes, they were very memorable. *grins*
*pauses, thinking about why you would want to stay with her for a year, her grin faltering slightly and her tone becoming less amused/more serious*
A year... *trails off* If someone had asked me any time in the past ten years if I would have ever envisioned myself in any kind of relationship for a year, I would never have believed them. I don't even think I would have believed it when we started this, back at the carnival. *wry grin* Then again, at that point I also thought I would be dead by now, so it's probably not a fair assessment point.
*gets the amused tone back in her voice*
I did not bring you an anniversary present or anything, but I suppose I could tie a bow in my hair for you to unwrap or something such as that if you so desire.
*grins*
Although I am certain we will not be lacking ways to celebrate.
*takes her hands out from under your shirt and places one behind your head, to pull you into a more passionate kiss*

Date: 2013-01-17 04:43 am (UTC)*breaks away after a bit:*
I wasn't certain if you would want anything. If you would like, I can find something for you -- perhaps something a touch more versatile than my last gift. *light smirk*
*takes his turn to slide his hands under her shirt, smoothing over her stomach and resting on her sides* *looks her over appreciatingly*
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Sark
no subject
Date: 2013-01-17 04:56 am (UTC)I don't know. I think I got good use out of that gift. However, you really don't need to get me anything.
*gives an appreciative sigh at your touch*
Yes, it has. Well, more for you than for me, but still. I presume you are fully healed now? Hopefully?
~ Bela
no subject
Date: 2013-01-17 05:21 am (UTC)*leans back in* Yes. Thankfully so. *kisses her again, sliding his hands up her sides under her shirt*
Sark
no subject
Date: 2013-01-17 05:32 am (UTC)*finally breaks apart*
You already spend enough money on me, what with the wine and food and all of that. I am perfectly capable of getting anything I need, and I wouldn't wish to impose upon you.
And that is very good to hear.
*runs her hands up the front of your shirt and then over your shoulders and down your arms, working to remove your leather jacket*
~ Bela
no subject
Date: 2013-01-17 05:47 am (UTC)*helps her shirt off as well, then pulls her back in by her hips, moving to kiss her neck, lightly grazing his teeth against her while doing so*
Sark
no subject
Date: 2013-01-17 06:00 am (UTC)*gives a slight shiver and barely audible moan when your teeth graze her*
*moves her hands down your body to place them on your hips*
*moves your shirt upward, so that she can caress the newly revealed bare skin at your sides*
*says breathily:* Oh, how I have missed this.
~ Bela
no subject
Date: 2013-01-17 08:02 pm (UTC)I assure you, the feeling is mutual.
*breaks away enough to remove his shirt for her, then kisses her again, holding her in close to get as much skin contact as possible*
*starts to walk them in the direction of the bed*
Sark
no subject
Date: 2013-01-18 02:03 am (UTC)*stops walking when the backs of her legs hit the edge of the bed*
*moves you slightly backward away from her just far enough so she can unfasten her pants and let them fall to the floor*
*holding her hands at your hips, kisses down your chest as she slowly settles herself down to sit on the edge of the bed*
*kisses along your abdomen as she brings her hands in to unfasten your pants and push them down*
*unzips her boots and kicks them and her pants off, then swings her legs up on the bed to kneel*
*smirks*
We'll just have to make up for lost time then, won't we?
*leans in, placing her hands on your chest, and kisses you again*
~ Bela
no subject
Date: 2013-01-18 03:58 am (UTC)*openly looks her over once she's disrobed, admiring her* *moans lightly when she kisses his abdomen, trailing his hands down her shoulders and letting his eyes flutter shut for a moment*
*when she pushes his pants down, steps out of both them and his shoes*
*returns her smirk, coaxing a hand through her hair then bringing it to her cheek*
That sounds like a remarkable idea.
*returns the kiss, sliding his hand to the back of her neck to hold her in close* *breaks from her lips after a time, kissing his way to her jawline*
*unhooks her bra, helping it off of her*
Sark
no subject
Date: 2013-01-19 05:35 am (UTC)*tilts her head slightly when you kiss her jawbone*
*reluctantly separates from you to assist you in removing her bra*
*tosses the bra to the side, uncaring where it lands*
*runs her hands lightly, teasingly, down your chest before settling them at your hips*
*pulls at you slightly, to get body contact again, and kisses you*
~ Bela
no subject
Date: 2013-01-20 04:14 am (UTC)*moves his way down, kissing down her neck, chest, and abdomen before settling himself to kneel on the floor before her*
*runs his hands from the top of her thighs to her knees and back up again, hooking his fingers on her panties and giving her a slightly devious smirk*
May I?
Sark
no subject
Date: 2013-01-20 05:43 am (UTC)*arches her head back, closes her eyes, and sighs*
*looks down at you as you speak*
*surprised laugh*
Do you truly believe I'd say no?
*smirks*
Although, I will admit, you are tempting me to do so. Just to see your reaction. *slight pause* I can't bring myself to, however. It has been too long.
*swings her legs down off of the bed to stand to your side*
So, certainly, you may.
~ Bela
no subject
Date: 2013-01-20 03:27 pm (UTC)We do have other ways of keeping ourselves occupied.
*turns to her, running his hands over her thighs*
I do rather enjoy this, however.
*kisses her thigh, then pulls her underwear down and off*
*kisses his way up her thighs*
*later:*
*kisses at her shoulder a few times, then settles in contentedly next to her*
Mmh. Wonderful.
Sark
no subject
Date: 2013-01-21 01:13 am (UTC)Merely wonderful? What happened to your typical declaration of amazing? I might need to work on that for next time.
Now that we've started off this excursion properly, do you wish to explore the town? I walked down Main Street earlier, but I did not do much more than that. At some point I need to look in a particular shop. Perhaps we should get all that finished sooner rather than later and then move to a more amenable locale. *smirks* Not that I entirely object to staying here with you for the entire time. You do have a way of making it more amenable.
~ Bela
no subject
Date: 2013-01-21 02:56 am (UTC)You need not worry, Bela, I merely was trying to vary my adjectives. You more than lived up to memory, love.
*traces his fingers over her abdomen absently as she talks*
*smirks*
I believe I could make a case to remain here for at least some time longer. However, you do have a job to perform. Perhaps we should look into that first so that we may spend our time how we choose.
Sark
no subject
Date: 2013-01-21 03:22 am (UTC)Why does you making a case for remaining here not surprise me in the least, mio coccolissimo? *gives you a quick kiss* I suppose I do not need to rush off immediately.
At some point, however, I will need to look at that shop. Ideally, the artifact I am seeking will be out for purchase, as people rarely realize what they are in possession of. If that is not the case, I shall have to do a more in-depth reconnaissance. Either way, I do not think this job will be all that strenuous of an undertaking. Fortunately. ((Considering she's likely dealing with Rumpel, she is likely wrong. But we don't need to deal with that. :P ))
