Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Treat and Tanith (maybe Eztli, who knows with that damn cat)
When: Midday
Where: Mostly Anywhere but Here

It was exactly three weeks today since Tanith had gotten a good night’s sleep. Three weeks to the day since Alistair had been taken and given to Angeline. Tanith was far too suspicious to write that off as a mere coincidence. It didn’t add up though. It wasn’t like she felt guilty. She certainly wasn’t losing sleep because she felt bad for the piece of shit. She’d been the one that had wanted to kill him outright. Still did.

She would sleep, but never feel rested. When she woke, she felt certain that she was being watched. That she wasn’t alone. And that just wasn’t possible. Her room was so heavily warded that the cleaning staff wouldn’t even walk near her door. She’d even grown so desperate that she’d allowed that fucking cat to start sleeping in her room. It was no good. Something was wrong. Tanith grew increasingly frustrated with each passing night. Today, she decided it was time to do something about it.

After her last client of the day, Tanith went to her room to call Treat. She hadn’t spoken to him since their lunch... thing, but she knew he was involved with anti-vampire organizations. That was a good start. I’m going to regret this, she told herself, and with a sigh, she dialed his number.

( It can't be easy to shock Treat. )

for Jameson and Hannah ♥

Who: Grayson and Saoirse
When: Late night/early morning, take your pick
Where: Gray’s apartment


( I'm standing here with nothing left to prove. )

Who: Nikita and Missy
Where: The Peloe household
When: Early Evening

( If there was even a glimmer of a chance for things to be resolved between the two young girls, she was going to have to speak to the source of all the problems. )

Who: Nicci and Dominic
Where: A bar
When: Evening

( Wake Up Call )

Who: Fluffy and Open
When: At night
Where: Random bar with loud music

Tonight, as many other nights, Fluffy had come to a bar with Nicci, both of them intent on having a good time, maybe get some vampire blood in them, maybe get some action - whatever that meant. And while Nicci was already having a seemingly deep conversation with some idiot she was probably going to hump against later in the parking lot (or in a series of other semi-public locations) Fluffy was sitting alone having about three shots at once. Nicci, the good friend she was, had told the bartender to keep them coming for Fluffy or she would get angry; and wasn't that the truth. At one point, however, Fluffy got tired of just sitting there drinking and nodding her head to the music, so she ordered a tall, strong cocktail - something sweet but with lots of rum, vodka and God knew what else - and gone to the dance floor.

Right now she was dancing alone, making a show of it despite her small stature, taking sips of her drink when it looked like it would spill. She was letting out a few yells of "Woooo!" or "Yeaaah!" as she danced, and hoped that someone, anyone, would come dance with her. If Nicci was busy then so did she want to be; plus, she liked attention.

If there was one thing to be said about Fluffy's dance style was that while not good enough to qualify her for one of those ridiculous dance shows, it didn't make her look ridiculous either; at least not until she was too drunk to stand straight, anyway. And she was nowhere near that state...yet. Here was hoping.

Who: Sasha and Open
Where: Sarah's Place
When: Mid-afternoon
What: Her shift is nearly over but someone sits in her section

The day was nearly over and the Russian girl was grateful for it. Her stomach was bothering her and the baby hadn't stopped moving all day. It was frustrating to say the least and she was beyond ready to go home and curl up on the air mattress on her floor. The only real furniture in the apartment was the baby crib she'd gotten from the thrift store and the card table and folding chair that made up her kitchen area. It wasn't much but it was more than she'd had the last few places she'd lived. And it was the one bright point in her otherwise long and tiring day.

She'd just finished with a table and realized she might have a half a moment to sit down, which was good given the size of her ankles in her tennis shoes. That is until someone sat in her section. Sasha fought the urge to make a frustrated noise. She needed this job and she wasn't going to do anything to get herself fired. Taking a deep breath and a menu, she forced a smile on her face and walked over to the table. "Welcome to Sarah's Place," she said, trying to tone down her accent as best she could. "I'm Sasha. Would you like something to drink while you look at the menu?" Yes, she'd been a waitress on more than one occasion on her exodus from Russia.

Who: Bianca and K-lee
Where: Cherryblossom Place
When: Early evening

( And it calls to you. )

Who: Telyn and Open
Where: The grocery store
When: Mid morning
What: She hasn't been home in a month. Girl needs food in her house

Yesterday took a great weight off her shoulders. Adam didn't hate her and maybe, with time, they could get back to where they were before. It made her happy. After a trip to Starbucks, she and Lucky headed to the store to pick up some things, her coffee in hand. She had a list and that was all she was getting. Or so she thought.

They were stuck in the cookie aisle. There were ingredients for mac and cheese in her cart as well as some boxes and other things. The elemental was hoping that she could make that for Adam some time soon, remembering the time they had shared the meal before and she wanted to do that again. And though she wanted to make cookies, she knew that having snacky things around the house was a good thing. Sometimes she just needed a nosh.

"What do you think, buddy? Chips? Pretzels? Popcorn?" The dalmatian tilted his head, considering the bags she was holding up. 'Pretzels are healthier but those are the best chips.' Both bags got tossed into the cart and she moved towards the cookies, the dog at her side. It wasn't hard for her to get lost in her thoughts, thinking about the night before and how she slept better than she had in weeks. All because she was home. Finally.

Who: Aetheria and Aurora

Who: Luke and Faith
Where: Bar to start >:D
When: Evening


( Should've seen her coming when it got a little brighter. )

Who: Brian and Harley
Where: Somewhere in one of Scarlet Oak's residential areas
When: At around 10pm

Brian was of the mind that a man should spend a good amount of quality time with his car; especially when it was an old and slightly rusty American muscle car that might either last forever or die next week. And even more so when the money to buy it came out of your already torn apart pocket and you were still paying it in soft monthly payments you'd never see the end of.

At least he'd been able to afford to install a new radio on it. Today, Brian's quality time with his car consisted in listening to music as loud as the speakers would go while parked somewhere in town outside someone's house. He had no idea where he actually was, but he knew he was in Scarlet Oak and that was enough.

Hitting the dashboard with his hands as he nodded his head, Brian sang - or screamed - to the words in the song with as much energy as he could muster up at that hour: "WE'RE GOING DOWN DOWN IN AN EARLIER ROUND AND SUGAR WE'RE GOING DOWN SWINGING!" He screamed, his window open all the way down; it seemed as though Brian couldn't care less about neighbors who might resent the noise right near their house. "A LONELY GOD COMPLEX COCK IT AND PULL IT!" And he went on. At least the chorus was an easy one to get right - or was it? - and the song wasn't some sort of deafening death metal thing, otherwise he might have gone deaf or been lynched by a mob of neighbors by now.

Who: Bubbles and **OPEN**
Where: The park
When: Afternoon

As had been decided multiple times throughout the entirety of Bubbles' life: it was a very bad thing when she got bored. For her and especially for anyone unfortunate enough to catch her attention. Thanks to the storm the previous day she'd been cooped up inside and grown thoroughly bored of everything. Including her aunt and uncle. Especially her uncle. She sort of wanted to drive his face through a glass window and see if it killed him or just left him terribly maimed. Now if his neck got caught on a piece of glass and it tore an artery then he'd bleed out and that'd just be fascinating... She was going to write that down and use it when she got tired of this game. Face through a window. Brilliant.

Clothed in bright yellow boots, shorts, her white rainjacket with the multi-colored hearts and a hat that matched, Bubbles was playing in the sandbox. Why? Because despite the misting rain she was bored and had spent the entire morning irritating her aunt until she agreed to go with her. It was either that or risk loss of whatever sanity she had left and that couldn't be all that much. Said aunt was huddled underneath of a large umbrella with her favorite book. It was some self-help nonsense. She'd been way messed up by the death of her sister and Bubbles supposed most people wouldn't blame her. It'd been such a bloody, terrible spectacle. "What do you say, Mr. Hop?" The ratty old rabbit had to be the fifth or sixth Mr. Hop but she didn't care about recycling her names. They only even existed to give her something to talk to at times like this; imaginary friends with forms. Mr. Hop, Mrs. Paw and Tweedledum (an Alice in Wonderland phase) made better company than any kids. Most adults too. "Think the book will help her?"

She moved the rabbit so his head shook. "Not unless it teaches her holy magic."
