Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Gabe and Liam
Where: The park
When: Late afternoon

After dropping off a number of job applications and confirming details on the house purchase, Gabe was ready for some time to relax. He knew it wouldn't be long till he had to work to pay the rent, so he might as well take advantage of his free time while he had the chance. Hopping on his bike, he rode down to the park, then spent the next hour or two shooting hoops with some of the guys from school. It was a nice day to lose track of time. Gabe's eyes scanned the park as he wandered away from the basketball court. A guy had been found dead here just a few days prior. It was such a crazy thought, all the murders and attacks happening, but then he could count himself among that number. His just hadn't been reported, and he'd lived to tell, or to keep it a secret, whichever he preferred.

It wasn't that Liam didn't love his siblings, he just couldn't stand being around them for too long. Usually he'd end up wanting to punch Ryan in the face, or that stupid little snake that had showed up, and Jack was almost as bad as Ryan. The town was small, but it didn't bother him as much as he thought it would; it was a curious little place that turned out to be pretty interesting. Vampire bar, hunter attacks, and even a death. It was still nothing compared to Detroit, but Liam was a little happy to have left that place behind. It was his home, but admittedly a bit of a crap hole. Driving aimlessly through the streets, Liam parked his car and investigated various stores, tried out a restaurant that he decided he liked and tried to remember where it was for future reference. Coming upon a park, he sat down on a bench and people watched for a bit, fully intending on lighting up a joint he had rolled before leaving his house. Things were always so much more interesting when he was high and, when people watching, he preferred to be completely stoned.

Who: Ransom and Jessalyn
Where: The Weiss household, Ransom's room
When: Night

Ransom hadn't dared to go downstairs once he knew that Madock was coming over. First, he wasn't sure he could face the guy without throwing a punch, and he didn't want to make his little sister cry. Second, he was pretty sure he'd only make things worse. The reception of Charlotte into their family was still fresh on everyone's mind, and Ransom didn't want to encourage a comparison or contrast. He knew this was hard on Jessalyn. It was hard on everyone. As much as he tried to understand, he was just more and more confused the more he thought about it.

Laying on his bed, Ransom brought a cigarette to his lips, exhaling towards the window. His mother would be pissed as hell for him smoking in the house, but he was pretty sure he'd be last on her mind. If Locke wanted to complain, then let him. Ransom wasn't in a mood to deal with him. With the door cracked open, Ransom listened to the noises elsewhere in the house. From what he could hear, it didn't go so well downstairs, but at least Madock had made it out alive.

Who: Verity and Dorian
When: Afternoon
Where: Nevermore

After Verity had finished her morning classes, she ran home to change and get ready for work. She was eager to ask Dorian how Rhys was doing and really, it was becoming quite boring to sit at home by herself with nothing but homework to keep her occupied. She didn't mind working the extra hours at Nevermore, since it was a bigger paycheck, and she got to socialize a bit more with the steady influx of people coming into the shop.

When she got there, she dumped her stuff in the back and returned to the front to find Dorian. She hadn't heard many voices all day, and she was hoping that streak would continue until the end of her shift.

Who: Will and Sloane
Where: The Stone Home
When: Evening

A night in with a movie had sounded like a good idea, perfectly innocent, just the two of them and a movie. Besides the fact that the Bond movie Quantum of Solace was all around action and adrenaline movie, a night on the couch with Sloane with his arm around her and her leaning against him? It made the movie that much better. She was distracting him, not on purpose from what he could tell, but just by being so close to him and smelling so good. Will couldn't pinpoint what exactly it was, that she was wearing, besides that it was what she usually wore. Something soft and still musky, with something that smelled like those white flowers whose name he couldn't remember.

James Bond's antics on screen were mostly forgotten, as Will's arm was around her waist and she was in such close proximity.

Who: Alejandro and Jovie
Where: Phone, and then Alejandro's place
When: Late afternoon

Life had been a bit hectic for Alejandro as of late-- as in, one of his co-workers had gone on vacation, and so he was picking up an afternoon shift, as well. Even if it cut into his sleeping time, and his couch potato time, and his flying time, and had required being out in the sun... he didn't even care. It was money. He actually had enough to replace his window, finally, plus with enough to make rent on the side, and though it didn't so much as touch his debt with Mr. Ramas, Mr. Ramas had told him on the phone not to worry about it. Which was a bit worrying in and of itself.

Today, though, his co-worker had come back, and Alejandro was at loose ends. He'd slept most of the day, but he couldn't sleep any more, and the television bored him now, so he was at loose ends.

Who: Cecilia, Kikuya, and Makoto (NPC)
When: Afternoon
Where:: Kikuya condo at Cherryblossom Place

The shipment from Versace had arrived at noontime and Kikuya couldn't have been any more excited. The dress was absolutely to die for, and completely custom for her and no one else. Kikuya knew she would turn heads with the dress and no one would have anything like it. She spent a good hour posing in front of the mirror while wearing it. Damn, she made it look good.

You know, if you keep doing that, you're going to get stuck in place and then you'll never go to the party. Makoto teased her while lying lazily on her bed.

"You're just jealous you don't have something as beautiful." She gave her familiar a glare, then sifted through some of the other boxes she had received. Oh, Versace wasn't the only company that sent her goodies. Kikuya made a valiant effort to call every one of her contacts to see who could ship her the most stuff the quickest. She eventually found the teal box from Tiffany's, and pulled out a diamond studded collar with a titanium bell. "This one, is for you, pretty kitty."

Makoto brought his head up and gasped, immediately darting across the bed to examine it. Oh, he definitely approved, alright. Kikuya fastened it around his neck, and watched him trot off to the mirror to begin rolling around in front of it, watching himself while he was at it.

"Pff, and you said I was full of myself." Kikuya rolled her eyes.

The last dress from Versace wasn't for Kikuya, though. It was for Cecilia. She didn't want to have her new "friend" wearing something potentially better than her, so she went out of her way to get a custom one done for Cecilia as well. It wasn't nearly as amazing as Kikuya's but still flawless and beautiful. She only hoped she guessed Cecilia's measurements correctly. After slipping out of her dress and into a simple tank top and skinny jeans, Kikuya proceeded to call up the blonde in hopes to have her come over and try on the dress.

Where: Denny's (restaurant)

( Who the fuck you let bite you?! )

Who: Lizzy and Charlotte
When: Early afternoon
Where: Scarlet Oak Community Stables

As promised, Charlotte had picked out a good beginner's horse for Lizzy - a sweet, gentle sorrel mare named Adelita. The mare's thoughts in Charlotte's head had been very patient, and happy simply to enjoy the better weather. Charlotte was on hers, a dapple gray male named Greenleaf. Greenleaf had been born when Charlotte had first read The Lord of the Rings when she was younger, and her mother had not been able to talk her out of the name.

After spending most of the previous day in a mall, Charlotte was infinitely glad the weather had cleared up. She felt as if she needed a few days outside to recuperate from that little trip. She had happily lead the pair to one of the forest trails, breathing a great sigh of relief once there. "So," she asked Lizzy, "what do you think so far? Regretting this yet?"

Who: Jessalyn and Madock
Where: Jessalyn's house
When: Afternoon

Since Jessalyn figured it was time to come clean with her parents, she called Madock early and asked him to meet her at her house sometime after lunch. There were rumbings around the pack lands of someone moving in, and she knew eventually her parents would find out who it was. Then they would start asking questions, and probably be angry with her for not telling them first. As nervous as it made her, Jessalyn knew she would have to tell them the truth and just hope that they wouldn't take it too terribly.

She sat on the porch with her knitting, waiting for Madock to arrive. Thankfully it would just be her parents around, since her brothers and sisters were in the backyard playing. She didn't really want anyone else to be witness to it, in case it went badly.

Who: Spence and Natalie
When: Early afternoon
Where: The Park

Spence was running a little late getting to the park. He had worked a late shift at the bar, and then his morning errands had taken longer than he'd planned. But he knew Natalie was patient enough that she wouldn't take Daniel and leave without Spence being able to see him. It had been a few days since he'd seen his son, and if they weren't at the park, he'd just drive around until he found them both. Hopefully she wouldn't start talking about anything in the news. He knew the kidnapped teenagers had been found, but he trusted Ezra and knew that none of them would remember, or recognize Spence as being a part of the group that had attacked them.

Pulling into a vacant parking spot, Spence grabbed the soft Nerf football he'd bought for Daniel and climbed out of the car. He headed to the park, keeping his eyes open for Natalie.
