Who: Patience and Pat OT Everyone in the wedding or invited to the wedding, plus their dates (see: here)
Where: The Grove @ The Ephemeral Gardens
When: Saturday night (October 17)

If anyone had asked Patience, she would have said that ever since leaving the house, everything had felt pretty damn…surreal. This was finally happening. The day was here. The hour was almost here. The sun had set and she could hear the strains of music wafting from The Grove. She'd checked out the decorations before being hustled back to the bridal pavilion and, while the lights hadn't been on yet, she could already see in her mind's eye what it would look like walking up the way toward small courtyard with the tree, under which she and Pat would exchange their vows. Lanterns were hung from some of the limbs and at the end of each row of seats, and strands of light would drip down above the makeshift altar, setting the place ablaze. Figuratively speaking only, she hoped.

Her bridesmaids looked gorgeous in their form-fitting long red gowns and, as Ash had so pointedly noticed, it was like she didn't even know any ugly chicks. None that she would have asked to be in her wedding, anyway.

"Hey, Slayer. Vampire. Somebody strong? Can you lace me up?" she asked as she straightened the slender straps of her dress over her shoulders for the hundredth time. "I want my stomach to be in my boobs…so it actually looks like I've got something to work with. Since I'm standing next to all of you with your big tits." Sweeping the ruffled train of her skirt to the front so that it wouldn't get stepped on, she sucked in a breath and looked back. The closer it got to show time, the more nervous she was starting to get. Not because of the actual ceremony or the fact that they were taking this really huge step. No, she wasn't even afraid (yet) that she might mess up her vows. What was getting under her skin was this whole singing thing. She wanted to do it – for Pat – but no matter how great Kevin had been in trying to help build up her confidence, she still sounded like a wounded bird to her own ears.

Who: Ben, open to all
Where: Avarice
When: Thursday night

This was it. The biggest night in Avarice's short history. The CD release concert for Broken Sunrise. There were two other bands playing as well, including Skylar's, but he knew Broken Sunrise was going to bring in the media. Dressed in a snazzy black suit and tie, Ben stood on the stage, microphone in hand.

"Ladies and gents... thank you for coming tonight...  without further ado... allow me to introduce the first band of the evening."

He turned slightly, motioning as the curtain on the stage began to pull away.

"A band that I personally have a VERY vested interest in... allow me to re-introduce you all... to the new, the improved... Suicide Messiah!"

Who: Iris, Catherine, Aella, and Jeremy
Where: Aella's Little Home of Hell
When: Thursday Afternoon

Jeremy had asked Iris to do some paranormal investigating for him. Him and Catherine had went to investigate this house a few times, and, after the first encounter with the demon who seemed to have a taste for people who spent too long in here, they hadn't run into her again. It seemed that maybe, she had moved on like they had asked. Not exactly the best solution, but at least it would be out of there hair, right?

Which was probably why Jeremy thought Iris would be safe. He had something to do that day, something important. Which was why he had asked Iris to do a final check of the place. Catherine had come along, too, just in case, but it seemed like everything would be OK. They two of them had started looking around the house. Daylight streamed through the musty windows, so they figured they would be safe.

Of course, it's assuming that usually gets you killed. Again.

At first, everything seemed fine. Then the floor gave way under Iris's feet, and she landed ass-first in the basement. It was too dark to see anything down there, and she had lost her flashlight somewhere in the fall.

"Do you want me to come down and help you?" Catherine called out to her.

"It's too dangerous!" Iris shouted back. "Go get Jeremy from that meeting or whatever he's doing. My leg is stuck under something!" Actually, it felt like a bag of bricks, but she couldn't see what it was. "Get him and maybe call an ambulance!"

"Yes," a voice whispered from the darkness. "Call everyone so that I have more to eat today. I've been fasting lately. So hungry..."

Iris snatched a lighter from her pocket and lit it. First off, she could see that the bag on her leg was more like a half decayed body wrapped in an old rug. The second was what appeared to be a pale young woman with black hair. Of course, any normal woman wouldn't have tentacles that looked like shadow coming out of her.

"Catherine, get help now!" Iris shouted just as she felt something grab her ankle. She shrieked as she was pulled into darkness.

Who: Iris and Open
Where: the beach
When: Tuesday, early afternoon

It was nice to come out and relax outside for a little bit. Ever since being brought back to life, Iris had somewhat feared going out again? What if someone attacked her again? What if she was hit by a bus? What if a meteor fell out of the sky and hit her on the head? Those were just a few of the many reasons why she gave as to why she should just stay home. Jeremy finally convinced her to start taking baby steps in getting acquainted with the world. She started off by working a few days a week at a used bookstore. Jeremy knew the owner after him and Catherine killed some demon that wanted to use it, and Iris had experience around books anyway. She did used to work at the UCSD library, after all.

So, after doing that for a little while, she started going to other places. The supermarket here, a coffee shop there, it was getting easier for her. Today she figured she'd hang around the beach. She had packed a picnic lunch, and had brought out some stuff so that she could sun herself and read while relaxing. She had gotten awfully pale while being dead. At least, with going to the beach during the afternoon, she didn't have to worry about vampires.

Who: Iris OT Jeremy
Where: Jeremy's House
When: Thursday Afternoon

Iris had not been aware just how much paperwork came with being brought back to life. Even though she would still use her first name just to keep her brain on straight, she had to pick out a new last name, get a new birth certificate, and pretty much a new life. Her old one was technically dead. She could even maybe talk to her family soon (and what an explanation *that* would be!), but, as far as the world of bureaucracy was concerned, she was and always would be dead.

She also couldn't teach again in the Los Angeles area. She wasn't even sure if she could still get a job in this area. She was a murder victim, so her face was kind of recognizable right now. For all of her wanting to finally be able to leave a house, she really still couldn't go anywhere right now. She had to let a little more time pass. Eventually, people forgot what the people who were dead looked like. It was Los Angeles, after all.

She looked over at Jeremy, who was sitting with her as she was trying to go over everything. "How much more of this is there?" she asked him.
