Where: Lakeside

For a bonfire, this night was just about perfect. It was still a little early in the year for intense bugs by the lake and the slight chill in the air would help bring people closer together, to both the bonfire and each other, which was inevitably Clementine's goal. She had her knitted knapsack filled with anonymous wishes to purge later and after some luck and a bit of help, a roaring bonfire. And now, she waited.

As she waited, she sorted through the other items in her knapsack. A snack or two, in case she got hungry. Her purple and pink glass pipe, her favorite lighter, and a few baggies of her two most popular strains of weed. To share, of course. Tonight was a night about sharing, not selling. Happy, she settled by the fire and pulled her shawl closer to her, watching the flames dance and swirl in the slight breeze around her.

Who: Noel and Clementine
Setting: Afternoon | Lakeside Hideaway

Clementine liked Noel, even though she’d not really had an intensive conversation with the woman. She’d heard enough about her, though, and had passed by her phenomenal tent/yurt situation often enough to respect someone for such impeccable taste. It was in one of these bouts of admiration that Clementine had taken a look at her own home and decided it needed a little...something. Some sort of lighting enhancement. And she knew Noel was just the woman to do it.

She’d heard rumblings that Noel had some particular gift with lights and Clementine was hoping she could make a trade or barter for some of Noel’s expertise. With a knitted tan knapsack slung across her body filled with two specific types of green payment, Clementine stood before Noel’s tent with a smile of her face and her ever-present light breeze ruffling the ends of her peasant skirt. “Knock knock!”

Please leave all wishes, blessings, prayers, hopes, or worries here (anonymously) and know that they will be taken with the utmost care to the Lunar Purging Ritual.

The full moon is right around the corner and I want to invite everyone out to a bonfire at the lakeside! It’s about time we had a celebration here and there’s no better celebration than the full moon!

If anyone wants to help me set things up, extra hands would be appreciated. If you just want to party, bring yourself, bring your friends, bring your good vibes and join me for an awesome bonfire!

Full Moon Purging Ritual:
Also, for anyone who might be interested, I’m planning to do a Full Moon Purging Ritual. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a great tradition where you write something down on a piece of paper and then burn it in the fire. It can be something good, like a prayer or a wish for someone, or something that no longer serves you that you need to release into the universe.

For all those interested, Leave me your (anonymous) prayer, wish, dream, hope, hindrance, whatever... HERE. I’ll make sure to copy all of them down onto sheets of paper for the purging.

Who: Christian and Knox
Setting: Lakeshore, Safe Harbor, just after sundown

After a rough therapy session, Christian had left the Retreat and headed for the water. His doctor wanted to talk about that day, that night, and he'd shut down. His doctor wasn't really on his side, or at least it didn't feel that way. He felt like the man was going to report back to his parents whatever he said, doctor/patient privilege be damned, and they were going to find out that he wasn't getting better. That watching the other men at the center had just made him more gay, if that was possible.

His stupid pedometer he'd been given to keep his activity up, since that was supposed to help with depression or anxiety of whatever else bullshit thing they thought was wrong with him, said he'd walked four miles so far that day, but somehow he'd wound up near the water, watching the boats, like he always did. There was a bench near the docks, and he was there. He had the notebook his therapist had given him, told him to write his feelings in it, what he was going through. Christian had just doodled pictures of boats. He didn't have anything to write.

Who: Harlow and OPEN
Setting: Curiosity's Underground Fight Ring

There really wasn't much reason for this club to be underground in either a literal or a figurative sense. though Harlow appreciated the irony. Not only did it weed out any drunken passersby that though, in their infinite wisdom, that they could take any one of her fights, but it harkened back to earlier times for Harlow when she was just a young demon starting out in the ranks.

Consider this your cordial invitation (yes, you!) to join me lakeside for a few asanas each morning.

I practice each morning and would love to have some company. The lake really is beautiful in the morning, too, if you need some extra motivation to join me.

Who: Open to all characters!
Setting: Murphy's bar, Curiosity

Murphy's bar was a dive - then again, most places in the cobbled together district that was Curiosity were. Temporary buildings, trailers and who the hell knew what else didn't generally give a place an air of class and sophistication.

Still, Murphy's did what they could. They generally had a good crowd, often had decent beer, and they had security enough that it was one of the safer bars in the newer areas of town. And, they tried. This was the first open mic night they'd run, hoping to attract customers that wouldn't normally grace their sticky panelled flooring. They'd set a small stage up in the corner, strung light up to light it - they'd even found an old piano somewhere, in case someone needed an accompaniment. Now all they needed were people willing to get up and perform - and people willing to sit back and, hopefully, enjoy.

Who: Ethan and Justin
Setting: Justin's Boat, early morning

The all night rave the night before had been one hell of a ride, and Ethan had stumbled out near dawn, but he was too wired to go to bed. Not yet. So, still with day-glo dried paint on his skin and a half torn band t-shirt from a band that didn’t exist anymore, he wandered away from the resort he called home. He tucked his hands in his pockets and walked along the edge of the water, too big aviators blocking out the worst of the light. He spent a lot of time near the water, but it wasn’t until he hit the docks by the Safe Harbor, that he realized how far he’d walked.

He didn’t care though, not slowing until he spotted the boat, well not just a boat. The boat. Damn he hadn’t seen a yacht like that in ages. He started down the dock to it, tilting his head and really admiring it, just straight up lusting after it. When was the last time he’d been on boat like this? Ages. Since before the war probably. He needed to meet the person who owned it, pronto.

Who: Chester and Wren
Setting: Her houseboat, midmorning


Chester had left the Township early - early enough that he’d been able to walk along the winding alleys without encountering anyone, never mind meeting with any trouble. He abhorred the area he lived in, with the fact that he always had to watch his back, always on the look out for the next problem. His apparent discipleship of the Serene Hand meant that at least they no longer tried to recruit him into either of the gangs, but it offered him no protection either. The only reason that he still lived there, rather than finding his way out, was because he knew that in a weird way he was safer there. Once he was back in his shitty little shack, he was going to have few, if any, unexpected visitors. The depths of the township wasn’t the kind of place you wandered if your face was unknown.

All the better to keep his secrets. Like: my whole life is a lie.
