Welcome to Storybrooke, Maine, a place where things are not at all what they seem. Mayor Regina Thorne would have you believe it is just an ordinary oceanside town with even more ordinary residents. However, the residents of Storybrooke are anything but ordinary. The truth is this small town is hiding a very large secret. Everyone in Storybrooke is a fairytale character under a curse. Sucked from their perfect little worlds and robbed from their ‘happily ever after’, the residents of Storybrooke must now try to live their lives whilst slowly beginning to uncover the truth behind their mysterious past lives. Alliances will be made and broken. The age old battle of Good vs Evil is ready to begin once again. Important information - The Town City Hall - the town mayor’s residence. The town mayor is the ‘Evil Queen’ Storybrooke High - the town High school. The headmistress is the ‘Fairy Godmother’ Police Station - the town Police Station. The Head Sheriff is the father of the 'Huntsman' and ‘Prince Charming 1’ Gold’s Pawnshop - the town Pawnshop. It’s owned by ‘Rumplestiltskin’ Granny’s Café - the town café run by Granny Lucas. Her granddaughter, ‘Red Riding Hood’ works there as a waitress. The Daily Mirror - the town’s local newspaper office. The head reporter is the ‘Magic Mirror’ Storybrooke Library - the town’s library. ‘Belle’ works there. Laundromat - the town’s Laundromat. ‘Cinderella’ works there. Important information - The Residents This is a ‘Once Upon a Time’ spin-off meaning this SB isn’t going to be exactly the same as the show. There is no Henry or Emma Swan. It’s up to the other characters to find out about the curse. The original characters from the show that I will be keeping are: - - Regina Thorne - the town mayor / ‘The Evil Queen‘, - - Mr. Gold - wealthy pawnshop owner / ‘Rumplestiltskin’ - - Archie Hopper - favourite and most trusted teacher in Storybrooke High / ‘Jiminy Cricket’ - - Sheriff Graham - town’s youngest police officer and son of Head Sheriff / ‘Huntsman’ - - Sidney Glass - reporter for town newspaper / ‘Magic Mirror’ - - Mother Superior - headmistress of Storybrooke High / ‘Fairy Godmother’ Remember, because of the curse, characters can’t remember anything of their past lives and they can’t leave Storybrooke. The only people that know about the curse are The Evil Queen, Rumplestiltskin and Sidney Glass Rules: -Please join this storybook ONLY if you're dedicated -No God-modding please, it's super annoying -You can have a maximum of 2 characters ONLY if you think you can keep up with writing them both -I will be playing the 'Evil Queen' but if you'd like to play an original character please ask for my permission first -Try to keep things PG rated -All posts should start with the character's fairy tale name, storybrooke name, and their location: 'Red Riding Hood' - Ruby Woods | Granny's Cafe -Please try to make your posts at least 2-3 paragraphs - if you need help bringing in your character to the story drop me a pm and I'll gladly slot you in -Play around with your characters - give them their own adventures/discoveries -If there are any questions, or if you'd like to add a new character, please feel free to pm me -Most importantly ... have fun!

Hey guys! First of all apologies for my absence I've been caught up with other things, and I hope to be back in a few days to make my new post. Secondly, thanks to everyone who has carried on posting without me, you're stars

. Those that haven't posted in a while please make your posts! I think we're all in agreement that we love this SB far too much to let it die, so please, let's keep it alive!

P.S: If anyone is stuck with what they should do with their character's feel free to PM me or post in the DT for suggestions from other people!

We're all in this together, so let's keep it that way!

Shall we conclude school, or do people need more time?

David- Prince Charming 1- Storybrooke Hospital-
Our time with Cindy was a blast, to say the least. I don't think I've seen Henry smile so often. And Cindy wasn't disclosed to her own story. She was able to talk about all of it. She revealed how Henry's mom was a partner in the laundromat where she worked and forced her to work ungodly hours. How she couldn't really afford to live elsewhere after her father passed away, so she stayed in the shack.

We listened intently, but unfortunately it was getting late. With polite goodbyes, we left the ward and made our way towards the lobby.

"You never told me your mom was a partner where Cindy worked."

"I didn't really know," he answered. "Mom is a partner at a lot of places."

"How many?" suddenly curious. There was something in the back of my mind pressing me to get more information.

Henry shrugged. "Couldn't say... but I think she keeps a record in her office at City Hall. Maybe we could take a peak..."

"Break into your mom's office? Are you crazy?"

"It could work. Mom's throwing a party for her campaign. I can claim ill and sneak out," he suggested.

"I wasn't being serious-"

"But I am," he said seriously. "I-I don't know why, but I feel like Mom might be hiding something... and that I need to find out."

We were both quiet as we walked out of the hospital lobby and towards the sidewalk. Finally I spoke up, "Ok, I'll go with you."

"You don't have to-"

"Yeah, I do. For some reason I have that feeling too..."

Henry smirked and playfully punched me in the shoulder. "David to the rescue right?"

"Yeah."

Alright everybody, this will be the last I post. I really want to revive this before it completely dies, so I'm hoping somebody else will post. If you're lost, just ask for some help in the DT and someone will be able to help bring you back to speed.
