Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Gabe and Lily
When: Around 8-ish
Where: Lily's house

The house had been empty when Madock dropped her off, her parents already out getting dinner before their play in Ann Arbor. Lily knew they liked to go out afterwards for dessert and drinks, and her mother had told her not to expect them before midnight. She'd been okay with that while she ate her salad and threw the trash away, and while she'd gone upstairs to check her email and take a shower, and while she sat on her bed in her comfy pajamas trying to tame her blow-dried hair into something that didn't look like a big brown puffball mess.

She was not okay with it when she heard the loud crash near the garage. The noise had her frozen, brush midway through her hair, for a brief moment before diving for her cell and hitting the first speed-dial number that she could bring up - Gabe and Charlotte were numbers one and two, both for proximity to her house and the depth of their friendship. Sitting on the floor, back pressed to the side of her bed and her shoulder against the nightstand, Lily listened to it ring.

Who: Isaiah, Raina and Rowena
When: Dinnertime
Where: Raina's house

Raina had thought long and hard on the subject, of whether or not to tell her sister and her boyfriend about the other before dinner. About the other's Were nature, to be precise. Isaiah seemed to keep his nature carefully hidden, or at least close to his chest, if only being outed by her Familiar, before. And Rowena? Well, Raina knew that besides Noah, her, and now their parents, Rowena was not about to shout that fact out from the rooftops.

There was, of course, a good deal of difference between Weres who were Bitten, and those who were born that way. Rowena and Isaiah firmly stood on opposite sides of that equation.

Going to her best friend on the subject hadn't been entirely feasible, given that Sloane knew about neither of the Weres in question. Everything else about them? Yes. Well, most everything else. The fact that her sister had been bitten a month before, and her boyfriend had been born a Were, that Raina had kept to herself. So, instead, Raina had gotten her advice from her Familiar, in between Oma's wrestling bouts with the little shepherd puppy, the little bear finally solving her Elemental's problem by telling her to simply let them discover, or not discover, that truth for themselves.

"Ro...did I forget the raspberries for the dessert?" Raina couldn't remember where exactly she'd put the basket, but she had thought she'd gotten them from the farmer's market before.

Who: Jokull and Linnea
Where: The land of phonelines
When: Evening
Warning: It's a bit... disturbing, okay. Just know that.

( Drained or bitten? )

Who: Amelia and Ben
When: 6 pm-ish
Where: Lenore

Ceri sat in his carrying/purse in the chair next to Amelia. She had her hand around a steaming mocha. It smelled so good to her. She blew on it while she waited for Ben. She was very uncomfortable about this whole thing. Her health was the last thing she wanted to discuss with him, or anyone else, but it was one of those things that simply could not be avoided. It made sense someone would wonder why she was taking time off. It was also no mystery to Amelia that she was definitely developing feelings for Ben. Amelia wasn't one to hide things from people she cared about. Damn it. She gave a sigh and weak smile to Ceri. She was glad he was there. The familiar always seemed to make her feel better.

Who: Otter, Sitala (NPC) and Zoe
When: 5:30 p.m.
Where: Snow White Sweets

Today had been a good day. There were no ghosts. There were no dying people. There were no demons running around in the streets raising hell. Okay, so Sitala had given that redhead who bought the cupcakes a scare, but that was pretty minor when all things were considered. Because, well, no one had died. With Otter's luck lately he was starting to think that he had a sign attached to his back that read 'please try to destroy the earth elemental's cool because he's been doing such a good job keeping it for sixteen years, thanks!' But, since it had been such a good day, he offered to let his sister go home early and he would clean the shop up. It wasn't like he had to go water his garden after all, just check on all the plants and that wouldn't take near as long.

Flipping the radio on, Otter flipped the shop sign to "closed" and picked up the broom to start sweeping, humming along with whatever was playing while Sitala played around with a paper towel roll that he had given her to keep her busy. Better than her skittering around and getting more hair on the floor that he needed to sweep up.

Who: Patrick and Lindy

Warning: NSFW, like, at all

( So... when you're ready for round two... can I be on top? )

Who: Chase and Annabelle
When: Evening
Where: The streets, Chase's car and Chase's house
Warning: semi-nsfw due to brief nudity


Chase was driving home from work in the rain and scrunching his nose up at the droplets as they pelted his windshield only to be swept away by the windshield wipers and flung into the street. It had been dreary all day and there wasn't any sign that it was going to start letting up anytime soon. There weren't any people along the sides of the road as he drove down the streets of town in the direction of his house, at least until he saw the form of a woman in the rain ahead. Pulling over, more out of concern for whoever this person was in the rain, he rolled down the passenger window and called out to her. "Um... miss? You alright?"

( even if that means seeing things in a different light )

Who: Kitty and Lex
Where: Ad Gustum
When: Evening
Warning: NSFW

( In the midnight hour... )

Who: Charlene and Corentin
Where: In the river
When: 10:00 pmish

Having spent most of the day ashore inside of that shed had been more than enough for Charlene. Sure she was supposed to keep her healing wounds dry, but the one nurse had said the bandages they gave her were waterproof for a length of time. How long that time was Charlene had no idea, but she did not really care either. She could always dry off again later when she returned. Was not like anyone was going to yell at her - Imogene was too laid back and off in her own world. Made sharing a space with the were not too bad for a time, even if it was odd. Nixie would have had another argument with her if she found out. Which, of course, brought attention back to the fact that Nixie had still not poked her head out of the river to say hello. Charlene was really starting to get uncomfortable about that and wounds be damned, she was going to go up and down the river looking for her or any signs of her.

Besides, it was nice to stretch some of her muscles out again by swimming. Her left arm stayed tucked up against her side and she did her best to not go too fast, not wanting to reopen the stitches on her side, but there was nothing wrong with her tail and it felt almost divine to be submerged and swimming. So much so that Charlene swam for a good ten minutes before remembering that she had, mainly, come into the water to look for Nixie. Reigning in her thoughts, the mermaid slowed down and started to scan the area for anywhere a mermaid might be. Oh, maybe that boat that I told her about... Deciding that that could be a very likely place that she might have just overlooked before, Charlene started for that spot of the river, singing quietly to herself as she went and not paying quite as much attention as she probably should. Tracking was not her specialty by any stretch of the imagination.

Who: Graham and Rigby. Oh, and Kismet (NPC) is unfortunately there, too
Where: Boston, Massachusetts
When: Evening


( So let go )

Who: Kaia and Missy
Where: Bellanina Day Spa
When: Late afternoon

Rough days were nothing new. Rough days were life... but sometimes things just got to that point where you wanted to go and relax and feel pampered and calm. And today, after the morning's conversation with Kristen and the call that told her that Trigger was selling blood in Scarlet Oak, was most definitely just one of those days. So after she hung up the phone with the other hunter she had hopped in her car and gone driving to her favorite spa in Ann Arbor. She had been going there for a few months for the occasional massage and they were used to her suddenly walking in for a nice aromatherapy massage. Two hours. Maybe then she would be able to forget about the fact that Nikita was in town.

Sighing, Missy slipped into the robe and stepped into the massage room, already enjoying the scents that accompanied it. This was the closest to complete relaxation that the Australian got these days and damnit, she was going to get her money's worth out of it. Even if she was not the only one there that day. Turning to lie on her cheek, her back was a mess of knots - nothing new there - she regarded the other woman. No, she did not think that she had seen her before. "Come here often?" Missy asked. She may not have been the chattiest of people but she was a reporter and it was just her nature to talk and find out what she could about whoever she was around. Never knew when there was something interesting there.
