Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Marius, Madeleine, Zaviar and familiars (NPC)
Where: Zaviar's home
When: Evening

Dinner had been delicious. The day had been interesting as well. Marius tended to count any day where he didn't end up having to dodge even the idea of the police as a boring one, but today Puddles had made it interesting. And Puddles had insisted that he was coming along. Since Marius had discovered that he did indeed have a relation in Scarlet Oak he decided he'd get to know him better. See what his genes did when they were unleashed on the mortal population. Other than turn out devilishly handsome fellas who had smooth voices and a way of standing that just made him think of, well, himself. Marius couldn't do anything but approve of Zaviar after their first meeting and he hoped the second wouldn't change it. What was the appropriate thing to do to a disappointing relative? He was pretty sure that the answer dealt with culling them before they could spread the disappointing genes on. Even a defective demonic must be better than any of the vanillas or angelics, but that didn't mean that they needed to go and make more of them.

'Your mind scares me.'

"Your mind would scare me if I could hear it. You were afraid of a goat." No, that wasn't going to stop being funny anytime in the near future. Or ever. 'Fear the terrible goat!' Attached to some girl who hardly seemed worth the effort. Puddles decided to ignore him after that and spread her wings to fly up to the door just about a minute ahead of him. "Good job," the demon congratulated his familiar as he walked up to the door and pressed the bell. "You beat me by a whole minute and couldn't even press the doorbell. I'm impressed."

Who: Sasha and Isaiah
Where: The Court, outside
When: After sundown
What: The pregnant lady is tired

It had been one of the longer days. Her feet felt like they were the size of pups and she wanted to curl up in bed for ages and never come out. The were needed rest but she wasn't going to get it while she was still working. And she couldn't afford to not work. It was frustrating but she was going to make sure she could provide for her child. That was her most important goal. Anything else could come later.

She waddled off the bus, purse over one shoulder and arms around a paper bag full of groceries. Food wasn't something she neglected, especially given how close she was to delivering. Sasha knew that it was important to keep up her strength. Childbirth wasn't easy and she wasn't sure when or where it was going to happen. Her hair hung limply against her head and she knew the first thing she was going to do was shower. She felt disgusting and even less attractive than usual. The roar of a motorcycle filled her ears and she stopped and turned, reminded how some of the pack used to ride them. But the man who got off of the vehicle was not a member of the pack and she breathed a sigh of relief. She was still safe.

Who: Cole and Ophelia
When: Late afternoon
Where: Streets of Scarlet Oak

Ophelia had spent her days working on the shop, and all of it had finally paid off. The paint was clean, the licenses were in, and the staff was ready. She had to admit, Scarlet Oak's only other tattoo parlor getting sacked by demons had worked out damn well in her favor. The date for the grand opening was set. She had put ads in the paper and even paid for some radio time, and she had spent a better part of the afternoon putting fliers around town. She'd left a ton in any bar or record store that would take them, and even put a few around campus. Now she was posting them at every damn lamp-post in town. It felt good to be doing something, even if sometimes she still couldn't believe... well, life in general. The gates were opened, and the world had changed drastically. It was still to be determined if it was for the better or not. Probably not.

She was ignoring the glare of a little old lady at the crosswalk as she posted a flier above the walk button when she felt a little kick in the back of her brain. Not literally, of course, though to be honest that probably wouldn't have surprised her much. What she felt was her power kicking in. Her spidey-sense for the people that have been continually shat on for a large portion of their life. An outcast.

This, of course, was not surprising either. The sense kicked in so many times a day that - usually - no one else could even tell she'd just experienced something at all. A lot of times there would just be a buzzing in the back of her head, something that got louder the closer she got to the person. Sometimes, the kick would be a little more violent. Actually painful as she was overwhelmed with a person's feelings and memories, or the knowledge that they needed help right the hell now and yes it was an emergency. This wasn't like that. One of Hers was just coming into range. Simple as that. So as Ophelia worked, she kept an eye out for them, looking to see who it would be.

Who: Drina and Troy
Where: Red Dragon Dojo
When: early afternoon

The lull before classes always left Troy feeling a deep calm, like the great intake of breath before the plunge. He'd made sure everything was in line for his students: from the sanitizing of the mats to the quality checks on all the equipment, Troy had gotten it all taken care of. He had a very specific mental checklist that came from a solid year of methodical devotion to his dojo and his life. To him, being an instructor was more than just teaching a class a certain set of moves. It was instilling discipline and respect in oneself and in others, and watching them flourish and grow, much like the plants for which the martial artist had such an affinity. The only thing left for Troy to do was await the arrival of the students for the next class. As he strode into his office, he glanced up at the schedule to see when his sister was scheduled to work next, glad that she had gotten back to teaching. As much as she seemed to be doing better, Troy was still concerned for her well-being and unwilling to push her too far past her ability to cope with the departure of her friend.

Who: Erika, Petunia (NPC), and OPEN
Where: the park
When: late afternoon
What: goats need exercise too, you know


It was so hot that Erika didn't want to move. Luckily, she didn't have to. Lying on her back in the grass, her sunglasses and the edge of shade from a nearby tree protecting her eyes from the almost too-bright sun, Erika was totally at ease. She didn't bother with a blanket--what kind of florist would she be if she couldn't get plant stains out of her clothes?--instead enjoying the feel of warm blades of grass against her skin. Erika was so relaxed that she almost looked asleep except for the small but telling smile on her face that showed she was barely containing laughter.

Her amusement was entirely due to the antics of her familiar. Petunia had the run of the park and was bouncing around like a cross between a pogo stick and a poodle on speed. The goat kept trying to make friends with the dogs being walked in the park and their owners, but was overwhelming most of them with her enthusiasm. Every time Petunia stopped halfway through a mouthful of grass to bound over to the nearest puppy with a Hi! Hihihi!, Erika nearly lost it.

Who: Telyn and Bubbles
When: Earlier in the morning
Where: The park
What: Messing with Telyn's head of course

( Oh now, feel it comin' back again, like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind, forces pullin' from the center of the earth again... )
