I do not know how the rest of you feel about this ominous new announcement, but perhaps we should discuss how many of us know how to fight and how to organize the protection of those that do not. The battle against those vines was chaotic and my understanding is that the attack of hell hounds led to fatalities.

+ Time for zombies! And a little more... +

Yesterday, the Red Queen took a moment to announce that she got her shield back! :DDDD there is a new event approaching! I hope everyone is ready for a zombie apocalypse, because if you're not, too bad so sad.

Just a few notes here:

1. All residents of the Mansion are de-powered, regardless of the nature of their individual powers (of course, if a character had no powers to begin with, he or she is pretty much the same). For those whose powers are due to being non-human, players can either opt to make the character human for the event or just de-power the character, whichever is easiest.

2. All deaths count as Mansion deaths. Anyone who dies will revive once the event ends, regardless of death count.

And for any other questions, there is ye olde Q&A thread...e.

Reminder: The activity check will begin on December 1. All threads and posts initiated during the week of November 24-30 will not count for the check, but threads continued through that week in order to meet comment count requirements do count. Here are the AC rules, for everyone's reference.

[Brittany looks worried.  Not overly so, mind you, but obviously enough that she feels the need to address the Network with her Absolutely Clever solution to the problem.]

So, wait, if we know there's about to be a crash...why don't we just tell people to get out of the way?  Or take away their drivers' license?

01: Arrival [AUDIO]

[A tapping can be heard on the microphone, before a startled young woman begins speaking.] H-Hello? Is this thing on? Can anybody hear me...?

[She sighs.] I suppose not.

[A pause, and then, barely above a whisper] Rumplestil...no. I can't. His quest is too important. I'm going to have to figure this out on my own.

[She clears her throat and continues.] Well, this is entirely unexpected. I don't even know where I am, or where this place is...I don't remember going through a portal, so how is this possible? Why am I not in Storybrooke, and where is everyone else? I don't understand how this could happen; Regina's curse was so...final.

Well, I guess I ought to introduce myself, just in case anyone does hear this. Um, my name is Belle. I'm from a place called Storybrooke, and I really need to get back there. All of my friends are there, and someone very important to me gave me the responsibility to keep all of them safe. I need to get back home, because if I don't, there's no telling what could happen. A lot of people could be hurt, or worse.

Is there a way out of here? Or am I stuck here forever...? Can anyone tell me? Hello?

[After tapping on the microphone one last time, the feed ends.]
