Who: Kaia and Missy
Where: Bellanina Day Spa
When: Late afternoon

Rough days were nothing new. Rough days were life... but sometimes things just got to that point where you wanted to go and relax and feel pampered and calm. And today, after the morning's conversation with Kristen and the call that told her that Trigger was selling blood in Scarlet Oak, was most definitely just one of those days. So after she hung up the phone with the other hunter she had hopped in her car and gone driving to her favorite spa in Ann Arbor. She had been going there for a few months for the occasional massage and they were used to her suddenly walking in for a nice aromatherapy massage. Two hours. Maybe then she would be able to forget about the fact that Nikita was in town.

Sighing, Missy slipped into the robe and stepped into the massage room, already enjoying the scents that accompanied it. This was the closest to complete relaxation that the Australian got these days and damnit, she was going to get her money's worth out of it. Even if she was not the only one there that day. Turning to lie on her cheek, her back was a mess of knots - nothing new there - she regarded the other woman. No, she did not think that she had seen her before. "Come here often?" Missy asked. She may not have been the chattiest of people but she was a reporter and it was just her nature to talk and find out what she could about whoever she was around. Never knew when there was something interesting there.

Who: Charlene and Corentin
Where: In the river
When: 10:00 pmish

Having spent most of the day ashore inside of that shed had been more than enough for Charlene. Sure she was supposed to keep her healing wounds dry, but the one nurse had said the bandages they gave her were waterproof for a length of time. How long that time was Charlene had no idea, but she did not really care either. She could always dry off again later when she returned. Was not like anyone was going to yell at her - Imogene was too laid back and off in her own world. Made sharing a space with the were not too bad for a time, even if it was odd. Nixie would have had another argument with her if she found out. Which, of course, brought attention back to the fact that Nixie had still not poked her head out of the river to say hello. Charlene was really starting to get uncomfortable about that and wounds be damned, she was going to go up and down the river looking for her or any signs of her.

Besides, it was nice to stretch some of her muscles out again by swimming. Her left arm stayed tucked up against her side and she did her best to not go too fast, not wanting to reopen the stitches on her side, but there was nothing wrong with her tail and it felt almost divine to be submerged and swimming. So much so that Charlene swam for a good ten minutes before remembering that she had, mainly, come into the water to look for Nixie. Reigning in her thoughts, the mermaid slowed down and started to scan the area for anywhere a mermaid might be. Oh, maybe that boat that I told her about... Deciding that that could be a very likely place that she might have just overlooked before, Charlene started for that spot of the river, singing quietly to herself as she went and not paying quite as much attention as she probably should. Tracking was not her specialty by any stretch of the imagination.

Who: Otter, Sitala (NPC) and Zoe
When: 5:30 p.m.
Where: Snow White Sweets

Today had been a good day. There were no ghosts. There were no dying people. There were no demons running around in the streets raising hell. Okay, so Sitala had given that redhead who bought the cupcakes a scare, but that was pretty minor when all things were considered. Because, well, no one had died. With Otter's luck lately he was starting to think that he had a sign attached to his back that read 'please try to destroy the earth elemental's cool because he's been doing such a good job keeping it for sixteen years, thanks!' But, since it had been such a good day, he offered to let his sister go home early and he would clean the shop up. It wasn't like he had to go water his garden after all, just check on all the plants and that wouldn't take near as long.

Flipping the radio on, Otter flipped the shop sign to "closed" and picked up the broom to start sweeping, humming along with whatever was playing while Sitala played around with a paper towel roll that he had given her to keep her busy. Better than her skittering around and getting more hair on the floor that he needed to sweep up.

Who: Graham and Rigby. Oh, and Kismet (NPC) is unfortunately there, too
Where: Boston, Massachusetts
When: Evening


( So let go )

Who: Kitty and Lex
Where: Ad Gustum
When: Evening
Warning: NSFW

( In the midnight hour... )

Who: Chase and Annabelle
When: Evening
Where: The streets, Chase's car and Chase's house
Warning: semi-nsfw due to brief nudity


Chase was driving home from work in the rain and scrunching his nose up at the droplets as they pelted his windshield only to be swept away by the windshield wipers and flung into the street. It had been dreary all day and there wasn't any sign that it was going to start letting up anytime soon. There weren't any people along the sides of the road as he drove down the streets of town in the direction of his house, at least until he saw the form of a woman in the rain ahead. Pulling over, more out of concern for whoever this person was in the rain, he rolled down the passenger window and called out to her. "Um... miss? You alright?"

( even if that means seeing things in a different light )
