♔welcome to storybrooke

[sandpipers]

welcome to storybrooke.
to the naked eye, this town is a simple one; but to the residents, storybrooke is not a normal town. every single resident here is a fairy tale character, pulled to this world by a curse. for awhile, the residents didn't know about this curse. in fact, they didn't even know that they were fairy tale characters. after emma swan, the savior, broke the first curse, everyone's memories were recovered, but they did not return to the enchanted forest. but soon after, regular humans found out about the town and captured henry mills, emma swan's son and regina mills adopted son. captain hook, snow white, prince charming, regina mills, mr. gold, neal cassidy, emma swan, and tinker bell all helped to rescue him in neverland, as well as defeated peter pan, who contrary to belief -- is a villain. now storybrooke remains a peaceful town for now.
((this plot will be taking place between season 3 and 4.))

Emma sat in Granny's diner, daring intensely at the mug of coffee sitting in front of her. Henry had left for school about half an hour ago, leaving the blonde with nothing to do. She gave a small sigh, her eyes separating from the now cold coffee to look around the room. She almost excepted to see her parents eating breakfast here, but they weren't. Why would they be eating here? They can't do that anymore. Well at least not for awhile. All of their free-time had been consumed by taking care of Neal. It almost bothered her. She knew that was part of being a parent, but at the same time she didn't, as she had given Henry away when she gave birth to him. The thought made her frown slightly, and she shook the thought from her mind quickly. She wondered what all of her friends were up to today, as everything seemed very quiet ever since the commotion with Pan had died down. Honestly, she was a bit relieved to have finally gotten a break from all the magical stuff. She still had a hard time processing it, but any normal person would too, right?

Aaron was where he normally was, leaning against the brick wall of the Rabbit Hole. He had a cigarette between his index and middle finger, and small wisps of smoke curled around his fingers, only to be carried away in the small breeze. It was early in the morning, and his leather jacket was halfheartedly thrown over his shoulders, breaking the wind from chilling him. He tossed the cig onto the pavement, smothering it with his shoe and pulling himself off of the wall. He was beginning to lose hope of finding Lady. He lost her during the first curse, and ever since he regained his memories he had been trying to find where she was ever since. So far with no luck. He gave a small sigh, then decided to walk down to Granny's for a change. It was to early in the morning to be drinking - even Aaron knew that.

xxxxxa fter waking up and getting dressed in a light blue floral skirt, a plain white button up, a thin black belt and black heels, she walked down stairs and tidied up a bit. she put away the books she had out last night: they were rather interesting, but the one she chose was a book by stephen king. she wasn't really a horror fan, but she was interested in this one. the title of the book was slipping her mind at the moment, but of course, she would remember it later. she wiped her hands together and smoothed down her skirt, smiling around her. she folded her hands in front of her and her fingers ran over the ring on her left hand. a big smile spread across her face and she looked down at it, loving the way it fit and looked. she stared at it for a few minutes before shaking her head out of the trance and walking into the kitchen. she rifled through the cabinets and refrigerator, searching for something to make for breakfast but didn't find anything. her eyebrows furrowed as she drummed her fingers on the counter. there was always granny's. with a soft sigh, she decided that would be the best option. she could grab a quick bite to eat, a coffee and bring something back for rumplestiltskin.

xxxxxb elle quickly wrote a small note, saying where she was going ( just in case her husband woke up before she got back ), and grabbed her purse before she walked out the door, closing it behind her. it wasn't a long walk to granny's, just a couple of blocks. she also liked walking, it was a great time to think and come up with a plan for the day or a way to sort through what happened that day. she had a soft smile on her face as she strolled through town, making her way towards granny's. she said 'hello' to anyone that passed and a few of them said in return or a 'good morning'. belle liked talking to the towns people, they made her feel apart of the town, especially since she was normally working in the pawn shop or the library. she didn't get to go out much and when she did, it was to granny's to get something to eat. mrs. gold pushed the door open and was welcomed by the smell of eggs, bacon, and coffee -- a wonderful mixture of smells. the lady walked up to the counter, her heels clicking on the floor and said a quick hello to ruby before ordering her usual breakfast: eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns with a chocolate milk and a coffee to go. she turned around to find somewhere to sit and saw emma sitting alone. a frown tugged on belle's lips and she walked over, "good morning, emma," she said sweetly, giving her a soft smile, "mind if i join you?" she gestured to the open seat across from her.

❛ killain was walking down the street, one of his hands stuffed in his pocket as he looked for something to do in the small town. he was a bit bore to say the least, he didn't know what he could do now that he had all this free time on his hands. his eyes glanced at the old sign of granny's and he pushed open the door and hear the small bell alerting granny and ruby of the new customer. he didn't even notice emma at first glance, he slid onto one of the chairs and ordered a coffee which he learned to like the taste of it's bitterness. ❜

Emma's train of thought snapped when someone asked her something. Regina? No. Not Regina at all. It was Belle, basically the most innocent person next to Mary-Margaret or Henry. "Wha- Oh... Yeah. Sure." She said quietly, blinking away her confusion and looking up from the cold coffee. "I thought no one woke up this early... Y'know... except for school and stuff." Emma rubbed some of the sleep from her eyes, before the small tinkling of a bell announced another presence. A streak of red ran out, but Emma didn't see who it was. She stared at Killian for a moment, but he didn't notice her, so she slowly turned back to Belle. "And him apparently." She added in a flat tone. Emma finally took a sip of her coffee, but gave a small frown of disgust as she tasted the once-warm beverage. "Not as good when it's cold." She mumbled, pushing the coffee aside and receiving a glare rom Granny at the same time. "So... Belle. What've you been up to lately? Haven't seen you around much ever since you got married." The blonde gave a small, tired smile, trying to spark conversation into what little life the place had already. Every once in awhile, her eyes would drift over to Killian, trying to think of an excuse to talk to him. For now, she'd talk with Belle. Out of the few people Emma actually liked, Belle was one of them. She was a good person to be around, and in a way, Emma looked up to her.

The fiery redhead had been sitting in Granny's all morning, tapping her fingers against the wooden table. Her golden eyes flickered over to Belle and Emma, sitting at a table in the corner. She shifted slightly when Killian walked into the restaurant. She was skipping school again, but for a reason. Ever since everyone regained their memories, the other kids her age ad been teasing her about being a crocodile, "What are you gonna do Smith? Eat me?" An echo of a voice drifted hazily into her head, only to be pushed out quickly. Yes, Audrey had been a crocodile, and everyone automatically assumed that she was the same "crocodile" that had taken Killian's hand. It was quite the opposite actually, and Rumplestiltskin had been the one to claim Killian's hand instead. Audrey had merely been a scout and weapon for Hook. She hadn't talked to him since the curse happened, and she didn't plan to either. She had to admit it was kind've nice not destroying other's ships for once. But for now, she'd rather avoid getting yelled at for skipping school, so she made haste to quickly exit the restaurant, leaving a couple of crumpled dollar bills to pay for the cinnamon roll and glass of milk. Audrey didn't exactly know how she managed to scrounge up that money, but she didn't question it either. She slipped into an alleyway, cutting through town to get to the docks. She felt more comfortable by the shore; she had an assumption it was because of her crocodile self.


ooc: totally forgot about audrey in my last post lmao

[elle;;]

The woman walked through the town she had grown to know almost every nook and cranny of. She stayed on the sidewalk, of course avoiding the street, even though there were barely any cars driving down it. Mary Margaret had put on a purple beret of her's along with a cream colored coat that went over her outfit for the day. She actually wasn't planning on wearing a hat today, but ever since she had Neal, she had been taking care of him nonstop. It wasn't necessarily bad. She just didn't have as much time as she used to. Her hair was everywhere that morning, and she was woken up by the crying baby. Even though she rather wouldn't want to ask this of him, she wanted David to calm him down and take care of him for a few hours. Mary Margaret needed time alone, she thought, and so what better way to spend time in solitude than walk along the streets of Storybrooke. There wasn't that many people out, as it was early in the morning, but there seemed to be a growing amount of townspeople every minute.

Walking by a shop, the short-haired woman caught herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but look at it. Her face was pink from the cold weather, and she realized she had been shivering slightly. Maybe she was too busy relishing the thought of alone time to notice that she needed to dress warmer. With a sigh, she turned to head back home where warmth, her husband, and her baby awaited. Before she could take more than five steps, she noticed that Granny's was across the street. Oh, a cup of coffee or hot chocolate sounded amazing at the moment. She glanced down the street before walking across rather quickly, silently wishing she could already be in the store. After a few more steps, the bell chimed and alerted others that a new costumer was inside. The warm air of the little cafe greeted her face and made her smile, along with the scent of breakfast foods and coffee. She hadn't really been in here and enjoyed it in quite a long time. Mary Margaret began to walk before she saw a head of blonde hair turning back to a young woman. It was a pleasant surprise to see her daughter, Emma, and good friend Belle here. She turned her head to see who Emma had looked at and saw Hook, the man who seemed to be capturing her daughter's heart. Since Emma seemed occupied, she decided she might talk to the pirate and see what he was up to. As she turned to walk towards him, she saw a young girl that had bright red hair and was walking out the door. Her teacher instincts were still there, even though she was off from having a child, and she noticed how young exactly the girl looked. She felt the need to go after her and take her back to school, but she told herself to relax and stay inside where it was warm. She took a seat at the table where Hook was drinking his coffee, and gave him a brief smile. "Hello, Hook. I never thought I'd see you here this early." Mary Margaret decided she'd question him about Emma later, you know, only as mother instincts.

❛ melody was up by the beach, she wasn't going to school. why should she? she was a fish out of water. and she wasn't joking. after she had gotten her memories back, she was relived. she always knew there was something different about herself. she was always so attracted to swimming and fishing. her mother ariel was so sweet to her, when she had gotten her memories back. she was an accident though, and alot of kids at school teased her about it. she stood up, she was sitting down on a rock. her blonde hair was braided into a ponytail. she began to walk into town, passing the the rabbit hole. ❜

❛ killain was sipping the warm cup to himself, his mind obviously somewhere else before hearing the calm sounding soft voice of emma's mother. he glanced up, before sending a soft smile towards her. ''me neither.'' he spoke jokingly, before pausing to think about what he was going to say. he didn't actually know why he had awoken so early. it must have been so weird and strange. ''early bird gets the worm. he told her, before deciding to start up a bit of conversation. ''hows the child?'' his thoughts went to zelena and how everyone was trying to protect him from her. he smiled, they won. and thats all that mattered. and that though led to him and emma going back in time. she looked so beautiful in that dress. ❜

xxxxxa groan escaped his lips as he hear his mother scold him about almost being late for school. school, ew. he didn't particularly like school and he thought that it was a waste of time since they didn't really teach anything to live off of. who cares if you couldn't explain in detail how the cells divides -- it just does and that's it. and math is never used outside of the classroom, especially when it was calculus. he grumbled back a reply that was something like an apology. his mother took it anyways and left his room, heading back downstairs to the kitchen. with a long yawn, tanner sat up, moving the blankets back and rubbing his eyes. he blinked his eyes open and groaned again when he saw that his mom drew open his curtains. he hated his curtains opened. he liked the dark: it was soothing and it allowed him to think easier besides from the sunlight blinding him. he got up from his bed and changed, stumbling a few times. with wearing clothes now, he went to the upstairs bathroom to use it, brush his teeth and hair before heading down the stairs to eat a quick breakfast. his green eyes got used to the light quickly as he went downstairs and he noticed that his mom was in the kitchen, bustling around the area. "good morning, toulouse," she spoke softly, not turning around to see if it was truly him. tanner glared at her. he hated his real name. toulouse -- such a disgusting french name. he preferred to be called tanner. "ugh, mom. it's tanner, not toulouse. i tell you this every morning," he said, his voice dripping in venom. he knew that his mom was only calling him what she named him, but he wished that she would just call him tanner. it was a lot simpler. he ate breakfast ( which was an omelet with a side of hash browns and a glass of milk ) in silence then left, kissing his mom on the cheek, grabbing his phone and backpack as he left out the door.

xxxxxt anner wasn't going to school today. he wasn't feeling it and he was late anyways. he would rather stay home than get a detention. the catch was, was that he couldn't be seen or else, he would get in deeper trouble than just a detention. where was a place where he could be alone and no one would find him? he gnawed on his lower lip as he continued to walk down the street. definitely not granny's. there would be adults there who know that he is supposed to be in school. and ruby does make sure that he's in school no matter what. he could go to the docks. people rarely go there and killian is usually the only one. plus, tanner doubted that Killian would actually mind him not being in school. a small smile lifted up his lips as he turned down an alley way that led to the docks and picked up speed. from a slow, trudging walk the lad was now at a brisk pace, hoping that no one would see him walk in the opposite direction of the school.

xxxxxo nce at the docks, he threw his backpack down on the ground and sat down besides it, staring down at the water as his legs swung idly. he liked being on his own, it was comforting and he didn't have to worry about his younger siblings annoying him. well, actually, they were his twins, but he was the oldest of them. only by a few minutes though. he let out a silent laugh and shook his head.

xxxxxb elle's eyebrows furrowed slightly when she saw the confusion sweep across emma's face. she shook off the confusion of her own face before taking a seat in the booth opposite of the sheriff. "i thought no one woke up this early... y'know... except for school and stuff," emma said and a small laugh erupted from belle. yeah, a lot of people were either hiding in their house until later or at the school. she shrugged in response, "yeah, i was going to make rumple some breakfast but we have ran out of food, so i came to granny's." belle explained, nodding her head along with what she was saying. a bell went off, notifying that someone had entered. killian. her eyebrows rose seeing his disgruntled state. it appeared that something was on his mind, but she wasn't going to read far into it. she hated to pry into other's personal lives when she wasn't invited or apart of it.

xxxxxs he placed her hands, which were folded together, on the table and looked down at them. she didn't move them until she saw that ruby was trying to put down the food that belle ordered. she removed her hands from the table, placing them on her lap. she quietly thanked ruby and grabbed the coffee mug that sat before her. she took a small sip before replacing it where it was placed. it needed sugar. she grabbed a few packets of sugar and ripped the tops off then poured them into the coffee. she stirred the sugar in and then picked up the cup again, taking another sip. much better. "so... belle. what've you been up to lately? haven't seen you around much ever since you got married." she heard emma say and her eyebrows lifted up. she put the cup down and wiped her mouth with a napkin. working at the pawn shop and the library mostly. i've been quite busy with keeping both of those open ever since peter pan was taken care of. and i recently discovered a new author and his books are quite interesting to read," she explained, picking up her fork and knife and began cutting her eggs in bite sized pieces. she glanced up at emma and noticed that she was staring over at killian. a small smile appeared on her lips as she put a piece of her egg in her mouth and chewed. there was definitely something going on between the two and she had a sneaking suspicion that they liked each other but were too afraid to tell the other person.

xxxxxa nother chime came from the door and her blue eyes looked over at it. mary margaret. a smile came to belle as she watched the new mother walk over to killian. hm, that's a bit odd, but nice to see that they are talking. she thought as she grabbed the ketchup and nearly drowned her hash browns in it. ever since her first taste of ketchup, she couldn't get enough of it. "so, emma, what have you been up to lately?" she asked, capping the ketchup and looking up at the lady sitting across from her. she was interested in listening to what the sheriff has been doing after everything that had happened. she knew that she had a little brother, but that was about it. and just because rumple didn't trust emma and vice versa, doesn't mean that belle couldn't talk and befriend the woman. it was her right to be friends with who ever she pleased and nothing was going to stop her.
