“My name is Victoria Winters.”

Hopeless romantic searching for who I really am in a strange town with places I’ve never been with people I never met. (Dark Shadows RP 18+)

@AngieBouchardDS “Aside from meeting Sarah meeting you was the best thing that happened to me here. 2/2

@AngieBouchardDS Victoria smiled when she saw Angelique enter the parlor not too long after their duties were done, “It’s so good to see you again!” She was relieved She had found a friend who was also employed by the Collins family. “It’s been a strange day. 1/2

Happy pride month, #DarkShadows fans! While the original show was filmed in the 1960s and early 1970s, we have a lot of known and likely LGBTQIA2+ folks and allies who helped make the show, spin offs, and the fandom amazing, then and now. #loveislove

@Barnabas_1795 @SarahCollinsSoC She waited to see if Sarah would take her hand. She was quite tired herself. She was tired and very confused as to where she was and how she gotten there. She took Sarah up to her room and got her ready for bed. 2/2

[Victoria Winters @GovernessVicki]

@Barnabas_1795 @SarahCollinsSoC “It will be my pleasure,” she gave the familiar man a smile, “Sarah, let’s get ready for bed. Samantha must be tired and little girls should be in bed around this hour.” She reached a welcoming hand out to Sarah. She didn’t want to be pushy. 1/2

@SarahCollinsSoC @Barnabas_1795 “She’s very pretty…just like you!” She talked in a sweet and soft voice to Sarah. 2/2

[Victoria Winters @GovernessVicki]

@SarahCollinsSoC @Barnabas_1795 She hated seeing Sarah so upset. She was such a sweet little girl, “Shhh,” she said gently, “I think I hear her talking…she said her name is Samantha.” Victoria smiled, “Yes! That’s exactly what she said.” She smiled as she touched the doll. 1/2

@Barnabas_1795 @SarahCollinsSoC She hoped that no one would discover that she was lost in a time that wasn’t her own. She knew she had to do her best to fit into a time that she once only dreamed of being in. 2/2

[Victoria Winters @GovernessVicki]

@Barnabas_1795 @SarahCollinsSoC She shook her head, “No, I think I’ll be fine once I’m completely settled in and giving Sarah her lessons.” She smiled, “I’m sorry to have troubled you so, I just can’t seem to remember much,” she lifted her hand to her head, “I’m sure I’ll be alright now.” 1/2

[Victoria Winters @GovernessVicki]

@RiggsW_DS @MissACollinsSoC “I don’t remember anything…” she sighed as she thought about the possibility of the real governess showing up. She shook then thought from her head, “I supposed I better get settled in and get started!” She excused herself and immediately went to her room.

[Victoria Winters @GovernessVicki]

@RiggsW_DS @MissACollinsSoC “I understand,” she replied to his talking about his taking care of all members of the household, “Sarah is a very sweet girl and I’m honored to be her governess!” She replied with some enthusiasm. She was still frightened from all the questions. 1/2

[Victoria Winters @GovernessVicki]

@Barnabas_1795 @SarahCollinsSoC “I don’t understand it…I don’t understand it at all! Barnabas, I live at Collinwood!” (2/2)

[Victoria Winters @GovernessVicki]

@Barnabas_1795 @SarahCollinsSoC “Oh, Barnabas! Don’t you understand? I don’t know how or why I am here!” She became very flustered, “You must recognize me! You must!” She shook her head in frustration, “Barnabas, it’s me! Vicki!” She looked up examining the house in complete confusion. (1/2)

[Victoria Winters @GovernessVicki]

@Barnabas_1795 @SarahCollinsSoC Victoria knocked on the door confused. The world she knew was completely different. Surely Barnabas would know what to do—he always did, “Barnabas!” She called his name as she knocked on the door.
