Who: Werewolves and anyone who wants to be outside the barrier
When: Before sunset and beyond
Where: North East of Helicharis (just beyond the Abandoned Elven Palace)
What: The werewolves let loose!

The forests all around Elysium were quiet as the sun began to descend toward the horizon. Animals locked themselves away in their homes, knowing what was to come within the next hour. They would stay there until the morning if they knew what was good for them, otherwise they could become victims for the lycans as they loped around the enclosure set aside just for them.

There was only a slight breeze tonight, bringing with it warm air from the South. The sky was overcast, blocking out the precious moon. But the werewolves didn't need to see the moon in order to feel its power. It wasn't like movies where a cloud traveling across the moon would halt the shifting of the lycanthropes. Nothing could stop their transformations tonight, and nothing would be able to contain the beasts they would become. It was the reason they were kept behind the magical barrier in the North Eastern part of the forest. Orc shamans and their powerful totems would be the guards tonight, using their magic to create the barrier between them and the rest of the haven. The werewolves would come to the barrier before the sun set, and enter its boundaries before they turned into their feral counterparts. Each lycan felt the call of the moon, and each one was waiting for the moment they could be free.

Fifteen shaman would be on guard tonight, using their ancient magic to create the invisible force field. Their power was more than enough to hold the lycanthropes inside. The barrier would keep the citizens of Elysium safe from the hungry lycanthropes until the first rays of the sun arose the next day.

Who: Everyone
When: 5 PM
Where: The Mausoleum by the Temple
What: Dr. James Pryce's wake

Zane stood in front of his mirror, adjusting the tie just one more time before he would slip on the black jacket. He could hear Pryce's voice in his mind, "Why so dressed up, Smithy? Planning on getting laid tonight?" The thought made him smile a little, only to find that the idea of never having to hear his friend's voice tore him up inside. He swallowed the lump in his throat, and smoothed out his hair before he left for the mausoleum.

The tone was somber as with any funeral service. The attendees were downtrodden, and a few of them were crying. Zane was trying his best not to be effected by it, but it was hard when there at the front of the room was Pryce's coffin. It was left open for anyone who wanted to come up and say a few words to the dearly departed, or for anyone who wanted to pay their respects. Though many people did not know Doctor Pryce personally, many knew of him since he was one of the few doctors in Elysium.

The service was presided over by Theora, and the Elven priestess spoke words that offered comfort for those who felt the loss the deepest. "Do not think of James as being gone," she said. "For he will live on forever in our hearts and memories. We honor him best by living our lives to the fullest." Zane had kept his emotions in check until the moment he walked up to Pryce's coffin. The top half was left open, and Pryce was lying inside, dressed up in his nicest suit. He looked like he was sleeping, and in some ways that brought Zane some comfort.

"This is it, buddy," he said in a low voice. The tears that had welled up in his eyes were falling down his face now, and the doctor made no attempt to hide them. "Look at you, all dressed up. I don't think I've seen you this dressed up since the wedding." He chuckled a little through the streaming tears, wiping them away with the heel of his hand. "I can't believe you keeled over on me before our next poker night," he added, trying to make light of the situation. "Dammit..." The jokes weren't working as well as he thought, but he kept talking. "Thanks for everything, but most of all, thanks for being my friend. It won't be the same without you." Zane wiped at his tears again and moved to pat Pryce's cold hands as they lay folded along his middle. "See you later, buddy."

And with that Zane moved away from the coffin, making room for the next person to say a few words to the late Doctor James Pryce.

Who: Riley and Charlie
When: Afternoon
Where: Training Terrace
What: Hanging out and boxing!


Riley was pumped! October was her favorite month and was nearing! She was out for a walk and most of all-she was going to go to the training terrace to enjoy a good practice outside. She should enjoy it while it lasted since the days were getting colder! It had been awhile, so she was sure she was going to turn up home with some aches and pains but she was no sissy. Pain a little here, pain a little there! A tough girl like her needed to be reminded why she was so..well tough!

She swung her gloves slowly while walking then was more careful with them. Those were her lucky gloves. She shouldn’t be swinging them around like they were meaningless. Riley supposed she just was a little too pumped to get that adrenaline running.

When she veered towards the final pathway, she could have sworn she heard noises declaring someone was around her. Or maybe something. With a curfew placed you start to wonder if people or things could be prowling around during the day. “Alright. Who’s there?” Riley said in an annoyed voice. “Come on. I’m dying to get just a few feet ahead and I hate feeling followed!”

Who: Chris, Hayate, Charlie, and Logan
When: Around 2 PM
Where: On the way to the forest cottages
What: Running into friends along the way

Chris hated that she had to leave Hayate so soon, but it was time for her to go back to her cottage in the forest. Emily would have been worried if she didn't come home, and Chris didn't want that. It was the reason why she wasn't going to tell Emily about her little abduction; there was no point in worrying the healer especially since Chris was safe and sound. But the girl wasn't taking any chances this time around, and had asked Hayate to walk her home.

The weather was nice with clear, blue skies above them. It wasn't terribly cold out, but Chris had decided to wear her favorite brown sweater anyway. Coupled with a faded pair of jeans (with rips along the knees), her sneakers, and her hair in a ponytail, she was a vision of teenage loveliness. Hayate was carrying her bag for her, and they were walking down the road from Helicharis toward the forest cottages.

Chris smiled over at Hayate, and she took the occasional glance over at his hand. She wanted to ask if they could hold hands, but she wasn't sure if that was okay. They had kissed the day before, not a little kiss like at the festival, but a grown-up kiss. A French kiss. They kissed a lot, but then they had stopped. But they had kissed. Did this mean they were boyfriend and girlfriend? Chris had never had a boyfriend before, but she always thought that sharing a kiss meant that people liked each other. She knew that she and Hayate were friends, but was it more than that now? It was all so confusing!

"So," she said drawing out the word. "Thank you for walking me home. And, thank you for carrying my bag for me." She tucked a few stray strands on her hair behind her ear and smiled brightly at the vampire.

Who: Charlie and Rion
When: Early Afternoon
Where: Northern Forests
What: While looking for Chris, Charlie meets another therianthrope.

There was a sinking feeling that had taken permanent residence in Charlie's stomach ever since earlier that morning. Chris wasn't home, and she wouldn't be home for a few days according to what she had told him. Spending some time at a friend's house, she had said, and normally something like that wouldn't have bothered Charlie at all. But he had woken up in the wee hours of the morning to the sound of Chris's voice calling out to him, saying that she needed him. It sounded as if she were crying and scared, and that worried Charlie to no end.

Why would Chris be crying and scared if she were at a friend's house? It was the only question that troubled Charlie's mind to the point that he couldn't get back to sleep. He couldn't get rid of the feeling that something was wrong with his sister, and that something had happened to her. And now that he was standing out in a small clearing in the Northern Forests the feeling became stronger and stronger. Something had happened to his sister; he didn't have any tangible proof for it, but he didn't need any as long as the worried feeling remained in his heart.

It was the inherent connection that he shared with his twin sister. Chris often knew what her brother was feeling before he even knew how to explain it, and the same applied with Charlie knowing Chris's feelings even when she didn't talk about them. They knew each other's thoughts, and even finished each other's sentences. They were so much closer than normal siblings. They were twins separated by only five minutes at the time of their birth.

The young therianthrope settled down upon the trunk of a fallen tree and sighed deeply. "Chris... where are you?" He said as he rubbed his face in his hands. The beginnings of tears were forming in his eyes, but he held them back. There was no point in crying; crying wouldn't help find Chris. But he could only cover so much ground while he was like this. He'd have to change in order to speed up the search. Charlie hung his backpack from a tree, along with his current tee-shirt and jeans, to keep it from other animals. His shoes were stuffed in his bag, leaving the young boy in only his boxers and socks.

Who: Everyone!
Where: Just outside of Helicharis at the Festival Grounds
When: 6 PM till ??
What: Autumnal Equinox Festival - It's the first day of Autumn!

ooc: To join in on the festivities, simply comment to the main post. Your entry can be a narrative or open to others. If you are replying to someone else reply to their comment and not to the main post. All activities are open for participation, it is up to your discretion what your character will do.

The past week had been nothing but preparations for the coming equinox that would herald the new season. It was a happy time for the forest creatures as they were the ones that spent hours on end setting up the grounds for the joyous celebration. Wooden lamp posts lit with orange flames bordered the area as well as throughout the entire festival grounds. Each attendee was greeted with a flower garland for their head, neck, or wrist if they desired one.

Fairies had decided to attend this festival as well because of the bright colors that had attracted their attention. There were bonfires all throughout the festival as well and they added warmth to the cool night air. The fiery glow that came from each pyre added a comforting feel to the entire atmosphere, and there were many fauns and fae dancing around each one in a happy manner. They were singing songs and laughing joyously as they pulled passers-by into their happy circle.

Musical fauns played their instruments as they marched through the festival. Fae and fairies flew around the traveling group, singing and humming to the music that resonated in the air. A large stage was set up for those who wished to perform in front of a large crowd be it with singing or acting or any other sort of talent they possessed. There were shows held as well, particularly by those who possessed magic and wished to entertain the crowd for an hour or tow.

Food and drink tables were set up nearby to feed the many attendees with whatever they could think to eat. And wine, they couldn't forget about the wine! There were scantily clad fae handing out the intoxicating liquid to everyone with a free hand. The wine this year was extremely potent and anyone with a weak constitution would no doubt get inebriated with just one cup.

The southern part of the festival held the games geared toward the young or simply the young at heart. Barrels were available for those who wished to roll down hills, piles of leaves were created for those who wanted nothing more than to jump and play in them. Colored sparklers were handed out freely and there were even pegasus rides for anyone who wanted to soar through the skies. There were contests here as well, simple ones that had participants bobbing for apples and fruits and curious prizes, searching for toys in piles of hay, and even pinning horns on a wooden faun.

Contests were set up again as they were just a month earlier. Archery contests and wrestling matches, potato sack and three-legged races. There were various game booths set up as well, such as knife throwing and ring tossing. There was even an area set up for pie eating contests and a Dwarven ale contest where participants could try to out-drink a dwarf.

Fireworks exploded periodically throughout the night and the gleeful sounds of the festival echoed all around. Elysium was a joyful place tonight as citizens celebrated the equinox beneath the near-full moon.

Who: Chris and Charlie (possibly narrative)
When: Morning
Where: Town Hall
What: Reporting the incident!

The trip to town from the forest cottages barely took any time. Charlie was a fast runner, he was even faster when he was in his Pronghorn form. Even with Chris riding on his back Charlie could reach speeds that rivaled even the fastest of race horses. The buildings and people in town went by in a blur, many citizens had to dodge out of the way of the speeding pronghorn. "Sorry!" Chris would yell to people along the way until they reached Town Hall.

There, Chris jumped off of Charlie's back and led her brother to an empty room. "Hurry up and change while I find someone," she said before she closed the door. It wouldn't take Charlie long to transform back into human and put on his extra clothes, but Chris was determined to find someone. Someone big. Someone in charge. Someone like -

"Mr. Dylan!" The young human girl spotted the wise Djinn in the distance and waved excitedly at him. She ran up to him and wrapped her small hands around the material of his suit and looked up at him with wide eyes. "Mr. Dylan, something happened at house! I like woke up super early this morning and went downstairs to get something to drink, y'know? Oh but first I went to the bathroom to like brush my teeth and and comb my hair and stuff and then I went downstairs. And like I noticed that there was this weird smell but I didn't think anything of it cos like, y'know, there are tons of weird smells around. But anyway I kept going down the stairs and like waiting there for me were dead animals!" She paused to take a breath and her eyes widened even more than before. "DEAD. ANIMALS." She repeated it for emphasis and the look on her face was grave.

"Someone had broken into our house and put all these dead raccoons on our table and their guts were like all out of their bodies and on plates and someone set them up to make it look like they were eating their own guts and stuff and it was so so sooooo gross and you have to come and look at it now okay because I think Ms. Emily wants to clean it up but she can't clean it up until someone looks at it." She took another deep breath and blinked up at him. "Please, Mr. Dylan? Please... this is serious!"

Charlie emerged from the room, fully dressed, and noticed that his sister was talking very animatedly to one of the Head Council members. He jogged over and smiled at the Djinn and then nudged Chris in the side. "Stop being so hyper active!" He complained and then rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry Mr. Dylan, my sister's a motor mouth at times and it's hard to understand her."

Chris placed her hands on her hips and huffed in annoyance. "I am not hard to understand. Mr. Dylan understood me just fine, didn't you?" She beamed up at him with big, blue eyes and batted them cheerfully. "I just told Mr. Dylan what happened, Charlie. I'm not stupid, you know."

Charlie sighed but decided not to argue with his sister. "Basically we woke up to find dead animals on our dining table and we were hoping that you could send someone over to check it out. It's pretty gruesome and we wanted to report it to you guys cos like, someone broke into our house dude. I mean, Sir."

The twins watched the ever stoic Djinn call over two of the Elven guards and relayed the events of what Chris and Charlie had said. The guards nodded and immediately rushed off toward the forest cottages as Dylan escorted the children to his office for another rundown of the events of the morning, in a much calmer manner.

Who: Emily & Echo Planck, Chris & Charlie Jung, Irei Arakaki, Sascha Connolly, and any visitors!
When: Morning
Where: The Plancks' cottage and Irei & Sascha's bungalow
What: An ominous tune lingers in the air despite the sunny and cheerful morning.

The early morning hours started off as peacefully as any other. Birds were greeting the new day with their song, the lake monster was swimming happily in the water, and Helicharis was beginning to bustle with activity. And yet despite the seemingly happy atmosphere something was amiss. It was hard to pinpoint exactly, possibly because the occurrence was so isolated that no one noticed unless they happened by the places on accident.

How often did citizens travel by the waterfront bungalows or the forest cottages anyway? Would they have noticed or even paid attention to the dolls that were outside one particular bungalow? Would anyone think to look inside the darkened window of a nearby cottage to see the dinner party that was already underway? No… no one would look or pay attention. And yet perhaps they should have.

OOC Note - There will be sub-threads for each location and those involved will need to reply to the appropriate sub-thread. Please note that these ARE open for anyone passing by or just visiting the residents in each location. Remember, have fun with it and do whatever you want with it! There is no specific outcome or reaction that needs to be had ^^

Who: Chris & Charlie, and then Chris & Hayate
When: Mid-morning
Where: Planck cottage
What: Chris argues with Charlie and goes to check up on Hayate

"Chris." Charlie's voice was quiet, but firm and it barely resonated through the upper floors of the cottage. He was staring at his sister with a stern gaze, trying to assert his authority over her as the 'older brother'. But it was obvious that Chris wasn't going to listen to him as she stood there with her hands on her hips in a very defiant manner. Her lips were pursed and her brow was furrowed angrily.

"Christina listen to me," Charlie said again, pleading with his sister to just hear him out. He only wanted to talk some sense into her so that she could stay safe. He had promised their mom and dad that he would take care of Chris no matter what, even if she protested it. But this was something that Charlie wasn't going to relent; for all he knew his sister's life was in danger especially if she kept hanging out with him.

"He's a vampire, Chris. A vampire. You know, the blood-sucking things from movies that drain you till you die. That's what he is. He's dangerous. I don't want you hanging out with him anymore." That's right, he could be tough. He was older after all and she had to listen to him. He knew better about these sorts of things, and he knew all to well that she wouldn't be able to defend herself when push came to shove.

Charlie moved to place his hands on his sister's shoulders. He sighed deeply and looked her straight in the eyes. "You could get hurt," he said softly. "What if he attacked you? What would you do? You're just a hum-" Charlie stopped himself before he continued his words and chewed the inside of his cheek. Well he just messed up... royally. He wouldn't hear the end of it now.

Who: Chris and Emily
When: Early morning
Where: Emily's bedroom
What: Chris expresses concern over Echo's disappearance and wants to help [snippet!]

Chris hadn't been able to sleep ever since Echo failed to return home. She was worried though she tried to act like she wasn't. She had managed to keep a smile on her features for Emily's benefit since it wouldn't have done any good to make the kind woman worry more than she needed to. Still, Chris lied in her bed with her eyes trained upon the ceiling with no signs of sleep on the horizon.

The young human girl sighed deeply and kicked her feet over the edge of the bed. There was no reason to stay in bed when she knew she wasn't going to sleep. Chris was an action oriented person especially in emergencies. She wanted to get dressed and be out there actually looking for Echo, but then came the problem of getting lost herself since she wasn't terribly familiar with Elysium and that would be another person that Emily and Charlie would have to worry about.

Chris sighed and padded through the cottage with her slippered feet toward Emily's room. She knocked on the door quietly and then turned the knob to poke her head inside. "Ms. Emily," she said in an unusually timid voice. "Can I come in?"

Who: Echo and Hayate with Emily, Chris and Charlie
Where: on the edge of Elysium somewhat near the mountains
When: early evening
What: An unusual meeting and Echo is returned home.

Echo spent most of the previous night hugging her knees to her chest for warmth and trying not to think of food. It was impossible to sleep in a field at night when anything could happen. She didn't know what sort of animals roamed the area and hoped that there was nothing dangerous out there. She reached into her knitted bag in a desperate attempt to find any last bit of food that she missed earlier, but unfortunately, all she found was the crust of the sandwich she made for herself yesterday. Crusts were evil beyond measure, but she had to eat it to ease her aching stomach. It was stale and had a bit of lint on it, but she didn't care. The bit of food satisfied her for about five minutes and then she was hungry again.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" she said to herself. How could she get lost like this? Only small children managed to get themselves lost and she hated to think that she was that simple. Like it or not, Echo found herself near mountains. Mountains! This had to be a really bad sign. Ever since she spotted them on the horizon, it brought such despair that she sank to her knees and stayed like that for a while. She hadn't seen mountains in Elysium before and now that they were... she didn't know what to do.

What if she never saw anyone she knew again? What if she starved to death here? No, that was impossible, it had to be. Echo had to find someone and find her way back home. She stared at her hands and thought of what she'd neglected to do before she left, like hugging her mom more or giving Charlie her very first kiss. A couple of tears escaped and rolled down her cheeks. First things first, she had to start finding her way back, she was determined of that. Echo rose to her feet and started to head in a direction which she hoped was the right one.

Who: Charlie and Echo
When: Afternoon
Where: Starting at their house and then out swimming
What: Omgosh! A date!

Nervous wasn't enough to describe how Charlie was feeling. His palms were sweaty and he kept rubbing them against his tee-shirt in an attempt to keep them dry. It was useless because nothing he did was going to make this any easier on him. He had a date today, a date with a very cute girl and he was terrified that he was going to screw it up somehow. Charlie took deep breaths as he paced back and forth in his room. "Get a grip, Charlie," he said to himself, his hands raking through his hair as if that would somehow make him calm down. With every deep breath the young therianthrope went through his 'routine' for the day: go to Echo's room, woo Echo and try to be flirty, take her out swimming, and maybe just maybe by the end of it all he'd get to hold her hand.

Charlie filled his lungs with fresh air and blew it out completely before he gathered his bag of things and made his way to Echo's room. His feet felt like lead as he stepped through the house toward Echo's room. He reached her door and swallowed the pit in his throat and licked his lips. They were dry, like his mouth and Charlie suddenly felt self-conscious of his breath. He cupped his hand over his mouth and huffed out quickly before he breathed it back in. Okay it didn't stink, thank god, otherwise he'd have to haul his butt back to the bathroom to brush. But he didn't move from entrance to Echo's room. His hand was shaking as he held it at chest level, ready to knock upon the dark brown wood. He gulped again, and took a deep breath and rapped on the door quietly.

"Hey Echo," he said in the steadiest voice possible. "It's Charlie... are you ready to go?"

This was it. His first official date ever, and Charlie wanted to make sure it went off without a hitch.

Who: Logan, Chris and Charlie
Where: Saltwater Lake
When: Afternoon
What: Friends meeting up

Logan was sitting by the edge of the saltwater lake, sketchbook and pencil in hand. He was currently deeply involved with sketching a picture of the Kitsune who had come to see Mitsuko the other day. Shigeru. That had been his name. Logan hadn't known there were other Kitsune in Elysium. That made him a bit nervous. His mother had always said that Kitsune wouldn't like him, would never accepted him. He was a halfbreed and that made their whole family outcasts. She wasn't trying to be cruel. Just be realistic with him. In fact, his drawing of Shigeru was less out of affection and more to have a focus on the Kitsune. Logan wanted to know what the other Kitsune dreamt of.

Logan didn't want to dwell on that right now. He was looking forward to seeing Charlie and Chris. He had seen them a few times since they'd all left the hospital, but they were sporadic and not very long visits. Logan rarely left his house and with the twins living all the way out at the forest cottages... Well, it made it difficult to see them at times.

But they were getting together now. And Logan was grateful to have the chance to see his friends. He was worried. He'd spent yesterday in an interrogation room, being grilled about Mitsuko's whereabouts. He didn't know what was going to happen to her, but she hadn't seemed happy when they got home. He was sure what he had said (or rather, what he wrote) had gotten her in trouble.

Maybe his friends would be able to help him take his mind of such troublesome thoughts. He certainly had way too many of those.

Who: Charlie and Echo
When: Early evening
Where: The Planck's cottage
What: Teenage flirting gone awry


Living at the Planck’s was nicer than living at the medical pavilion especially since Charlie now had his own room. He was the oldest and the only boy so it made sense that he didn’t have to share. Besides, his sister and Echo were practically ‘bff’ or so he heard Chris saying in a fit of giggles once. Girls… he wouldn’t give them the time of day if they weren’t so cute!

And man Echo was cute! Charlie found himself stealing glances at her whenever he had the chance which was often since they all lived together now. Charlie liked her smile, and her hair was so pretty! And her eyes were sparkling, and wow she had this laugh that could light up a room!

So Charlie was a bit smitten with the only daughter of Emily Planck. Could anyone blame him really? She was cute and fun, and so the eldest Jung son decided to try his hand at ‘putting the moves’ on Echo. The therianthrope found the young girl sitting in the living room of the cottage, busy doing something. He took a deep breath and smoothed his hair with his fingers. He strode up to the girl and put on his brightest smile.

“Hey Echo…” he said until his mind went totally blank. His eyes widened and he searched for the words to say. “So uh… I just thought that I’d uh… come by and say hi.” “Oh real smooth Charlie, you idiot,” he said to himself while he kept his smile on his face. “So uh yeah… hi!”

Who: Riley and Charlie
Where: Training Terrace
When: Mid-Afternoon
What: Practicing



The combat gym was too crowded. Riley needed the sounds of nature and the comforting air to practice her 'art'. It wasn't much of an art she would say. No slow crafty movements like Tai Chi and she wasn't artful with a sword. This was faux boxing. You paced around and you tried to get your blood pumping as your fists raised towards your face and you readied yourself to defeat or fall by your contender. Of course, her contender was just the air.

Riley circled around the sandy terrain finally pacing her body in a fighting motion as she began to first give her opponent a set of fierce punches. Of course if he or she was really there, she would aim for their face, trying to throw them off guard before she went towards a vulnerable place like their stomach.

She went on with with harsh hooks making sure her stance was steady. Riley was sure she looked rather strange with no actual opponent. But it didn't matter. She had boxing. Boxing was her life. She didn't want to lose her championship skills just because she was confined.

Who: Shige & Chris
Where: The Elven Temple
When: Mid-Morning
What: Shige is looking for something...and winds up catching something else entirely.

Shige had spent the first hour at the Elven Temple simply sniffing about, trying to locate where most of Mitsuko's scent was...unfortunately that involved getting HIS scent, too. That bastard. That filthy rutting bastard human. Curling his lip in disgust he pondered what to do about the creature that was trying to mingle above his station.

Mitsuko would probably not approve but what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her. Just the idea of Irei's hands on her made Shige growl in his throat. That fucking rat bastard. Kaiya AND Mitsuko....well he'd see about that....

Throwing himself down on the steps leading to the temple he sighed in annoyance. He'd seen no sign of her Hoshi no Tama so far. He'd search for another hour and then head back for the restaurant in town. Tilting his head up towards the sun he took a deep breath and let his mind drift. Where else hadn't he checked?

Who: Emily, Echo, Chris and Charlie
Where: the medical pavillion
When: evening
What: Introductions.

It had taken days, but Echo finally persuaded her mom into meeting with Chris and Charlie to see if she liked them well enough to take them into their home. Emily said she'd think about it, but that meant she was already leaning towards saying yes. It was difficult for her to disregard anyone in need, especially children. Echo promised Emily that the twins were very friendly and was nearly sure that they liked the idea of staying with someone instead of living in the medical pavillion.

A little while after the Plancks met the vampires, Emily led the way to the medical building though they both knew where it was and entered it. She had no idea where the twins' room was and neither did her daughter. This led to them peeking into a couple rooms with the doors still ajar. Finally, Emily suggested that Echo call out their names aloud so they realised that she was there with her mother. "Chris? Charlie?" asked Echo and hoped they heard her. "It's me, Echo, with my mom."

Emily glanced at Echo and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "I'm looking forward to meeting them as you like them so much." She trusted her daughter's judgement as it never steered her wrong. "You think they're quite mischevious? I suppose it could be good to have a bit more excitement around our cottage."

Who: Dylan and ... [Anyone involved!]
Where: Town Hall
When: Afternoon
What: Finding the orphans homes.

**Note: To join, begin a subthread with the names of those involved in the subject of your comment. I'm not sure who and all is participating!

All of the orphans had been brought to the Town Hall today. Although Dylan had no children himself, he knew how to act with them due to spending time with the youth of his clan back home. He arrived at the medical pavilion dressed in very simple human clothes today: a t-shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap. It was not the djinn's usual style of clothing, but it made him more approachable to the other residents of Elysium. Often, he seemed quite imposing with his size and extremely professional demeanor.

Dylan picked up the orphans from the medical pavilion and took them to Town Hall. The smallest sat on his shoulders and two of the others held his hands as they all walked into the building together, laughing and talking along the way.

Once they were inside, Dylan brought the children to one of the rooms set aside for them with supervisors as he met with the prospective foster parents today. He remained in his choice of clothing, deciding not to switch out for a suit or robes. Dylan found the human clothes to be rather comfortable, though he was not sure he liked the jeans very much. For someone used to loose-fitting fabrics with fluidity, jeans felt rather restrictive. He hoped his appearance would be okay for those coming by today.

Who: Pryce, Chris, Charlie, Zane, Hayate, and OPEN!
Where: Medical Pavilion
When: 4:00 PM-ish
What: Chaos ensues at the medical pavilion with the orphans. (Join, join, JOIN! Create subthreads! Run amuck!)

"By God, if you little rascals half-breeded with hellion spawn don't show your faces right now I am going to rain fire and brimstone down on this medical pavilion like the Great Lord himself couldn't accomplish with his hands tied behind his back and his eyes blindfolded, and I will do it with such finesse the devil will sing me praises for the next thousand millenia while the angels weep and cry and blubber all over themselves, and you will wish you had never stolen my lab coat and stethoscope!"

Pryce grabbed the curtain around one of the beds and jerked it aside only to find an empty mattress. He walked up to the next bed curtain and jerked it aside as well. To his dismay, no rotten child laid hidden there either. "Charlie!" Pryce yelled, looking around for any sight of the little devils. "Chris!" Pryce opened one of the lage supply cabinets, but it too was empty. "Maddy!"
