Good morning, Wonderland Storybrooke!

Bill has announced his latest building project, and now it's time to take everyone on an exciting journey to a whole new world! The bulletin board has the prelude, and this post will give you all the information you need about the two-for-one curse/event deal your characters will unhappily be suffering from between October 24 and October 28!

Day 0: October 23

At 8:14 PM a magical curse is cast, and thick purple fog will roll over Wonderland. There's no stopping it, and it will cover every last inch of the place. It lasts for exactly one minute, and everybody in Wonderland will fall asleep under its power.

Welcome to Storybrooke

The next day all of Wonderland has become a small town in Maine, governed by their not entirely trusty mayor, Regina Mills. Nobody knows how she came to power, or just how long she's had her job. It's just the way things have been, just like how the town's clock tower has always been stuck at 8:15.

The inhabitants of Wonderland have had their memories and abilities (be they magic or otherwise) ripped away from them. Names may be changed, and people who weren't quite human will find themselves human for the duration of the event. In short, everybody has been given an entirely new life: A job, a home; all the important details necessary to keep a small town running.

And while a character's new life may have echoes of their old one, nobody actually remembers Wonderland, let alone their existence before it. As far as they're concerned, they were born in Storybrooke, and will spend their entire lives here. Nobody new ever arrives, nobody old ever leaves; any attempt to go over the town line will end badly, so best not to try at all.

Day 1: October 24

Quaint as the small town may look at first glance, life in Storybrooke is a far cry from idyllic. In fact, it almost seems as if everybody's personality or circumstances have been adjusted a little to prevent them from getting their happy endings (Whatever that might mean to each individual character). A few particularly unlucky individuals might even spend their days locked away in the Storybrooke Asylum beneath the hospital.

Yet on the night of the first day, after living out what seems to be the latest in a line of unhappy days that never change, the clock tower will strike 8:16. Have the rusted old innards worked themselves out, or is something else happening?

Day 2-3: October 25-26

Over the next days, things will suddenly improve. After having been stuck in a rut for so long, people will now find themselves with new confidence, and will finally be able to make a change in their lives.

In addition any passive abilities (enhanced senses, fighting skills, etc) of their forgotten lives will begin to return, though the knowledge necessary to use them to their full extent won't.

Day 4-5: October 27-28

At 8:15 PM on the fourth day, a pulse of energy will eminate from seemingly nowhere. It will continue to spread until it reaches the boundaries of the town. The curse has been broken, and everybody's memories of Wonderland and their true homes have been restored.

There is still a catch, however: All those years in Storybrooke won't fade easily, and characters will be stuck with two sets of memories. So who are they really? Snow White, or Mary Margaret? Their Storybrooke self, or whoever came before? Or are they both?

Aftermath: October 29

By October 29 Storybrooke has turned back into Wonderland. Any fake memories implanted by the curse will lose their prominence. They will be like every other memory of an event, and no longer cause confusion.

Annnd that's it, that's the schedule! You'll find a comment for further questions below, as always. Please also consider adding your character to the TOWN REGISTRY for the sake of a better overview.

That is all, have fun ruining your characters' happiness in new and refreshing ways, and enjoy your day!

Bucky Barnes is James Winters for the event. He's a cop who doesn't play by the rules who's more likely to give a lecture than actually drag anyone's sorry butt into the station (unless it's serious of course.) He's more concerned with looking after people than punishing them, and he's generally pretty friendly with the townsfolk. He's usually breaking up fights that his delinquent cousin gets into, or dragging his former co-worker into the drunk tank for the night.

When he's not at work, he spends nearly all of his free time at the hospital looking after his highschool sweetheart and current boyfriend, who has a terminal case of TB. ♥

Looking for: co-workers, friends, fights to break up, anyone who wants to get with a soon-to-be eligible hot bachelor on the rebound?? Anything is a-okay.

UPDATES

[disassembles]

Please reply to the upper plurk for any/all plotting needs!

This is just for updates, so don't reply here or I'll beat you up. :T

[notrequiredtomakesense]

So Rey is kind of an angry guy right now thanks to his own stupidity and has probably gotten into a few fights if James wants to have stepped in?

[disassembles]

Absolutely! :D

[sidecars]

All of the above obv, don't matter that they're related (nottalking) What's first cousins anyway??

But yes :/ Fights to break up and a little shit for a cousin to keep putting in and taking out of jail y/y?

DOOD CAN HE GO ON PATROLS WITH YOU?? He'll be good, he swears! just give him a nightstick to protect himself!!

[disassembles]

THE LAST THING BUCKY IS GETTING IS A NIGHTSTICK.

[sidecars]

Fine :/ be a giant stick in the mud. Why don't you put your policey powers to good use and go round up the pigs Buck and Lara set loose in the school...? Seems right up your alley :////

[voiceinthedark]

Want to deal with a semi-delinquent Sam maybe? He's not on best terms with his parents right now so he's likely to be loitering or other small annoyances to a community.

[disassembles]

HAHA yes come and get a stern lecture from officer winters :|

[voiceinthedark]

So stern, officer tightpants.

[lost_labonair]

I need things, Sra. I don't know what yet, but obviously there needs to be SOMETHING.

[disassembles]

James comes by the school for some official business and Natalie mistakes him for a strip-o-gram.

[alayne]

tiny orphan on her own. I demand Things.

[disassembles]

WALKING HER TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY and general spoiling is a-go ;u;

[goesdown]

Coulson is also a cop. Would you like to toss them guys together? They haven't interacted nearly enough yet. :D

[disassembles]

They can be work-a-holic cops together eating terrible Chinese at the station in the middle of the night.

[superagent]

oh yes I like this! they can make buckets of coffee together.

[sorryitasedyou]

Idk things? Things.

[disassembles]

THINGS. SOMEHOW.

[sorryitasedyou]

WELL Darcy is doing a community advocacy outreach thing so she could bring meals to the hospital, kinda circling through - or they could have been friends and she's checking up on him.
