Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Chris and Erin
When: Evening
Where: Random book store

Erin had made plans earlier in the week to attend a poetry reading at a book store in the city. It wasn't until she actually got there that she checked her phone and saw a text message cancelation. Erin rolled her eyes and shoved the phone back in her pocket. Typical. Did people have any idea how hard it was to parallel park a hearse?

Screw it. I'm here. I'm staying. She would not let such a thing ruin her Friday night! If the reading blew, she'd go dancing. One way or another, she was having fun tonight. She started by ordering some chocolatey iced coffee drink, and headed into the reading area. They hadn't started yet - Erin was usually early anywhere she went. She looked around for an empty seat and plunked down, offering a smile to the nearest person.

Brian McBeth, McBeth Woodworks

Who: Felicity and Leo
Where: Leo's place
When: 6:45 pm

Felicity was nervous. But then, this was her first date with a new guy, so this was perfectly understandable and to be expected. It was hot even though it was overcast and had even rained a little, so she'd worn her chocolate sundress with a beige sweater over it, her blond hair loose. Leo had told her just to bring the movies she'd chosen, so that was all she was carrying when she rang his doorbell before seven.

She was chronically late or early, due to her overloaded schedule and hectic life. Today, she was trying to make sure she wasn't late, so she was early. Hopefully he didn't mind. She tried not to fidget as she waited for him to answer.

WHO: Hope and Jacob
WHAT: Tracking, hunting, the usual..
WHERE: Near Bandomer park range, deep in the woods
WHEN: Friday, late afternoon near twilight

( The trick is, which one is the beauty, and which the beast? )

Who: Erin and Evan
When: Around 5 pm
Where: The funeral home



Once he'd finished the work for the day, Evan was ready to head home real quick do a quick clean up and wash off the smell of death and embalming fluid. He didn't quite make it out the door however, because he saw his sister and had to stop and say hello. Coming up behind her, stealthfully of course, well, okay, maybe not so much so since he was so tall and lanky. She probably knew he was there before he even reached her. Either way, he put his hands over her eyes and grinned. "Guess who?"

Erin had just finished showering herself. Yes, living with the parents was lame, but dammit, it was convenient living and working in the same place. "Well it can't be the poor bastard I just sent to the crematory." she said, smirking. "And someone who reeks of embalming fluid seems to be in an awfully good mood, so that counts out the rest of the stiffs. Evan?"

He rolled his eyes at her and pulled his hands from her face. "Thanks a lot. Like I don't already know I gotta go home and shower fifty times before six." he sighed, shaking his head a little. "What's up?"

( Pimp Daddy Evan has some mad skills )

Who: Lacy and Day
When: Late morning
Where: The high school gym

Lacy had waited until about four in the morning before she left her home again. In the grey light of pre-dawn, a time she normally would have gone to bed by, she swiftly crossed the town until she again stood on the lawn of the high school. The sign in front said that graduation was to be held in the gym, so she headed that way. The doors were, of course, locked for the night so she climbed a fire escape up to one of the windows that backed the bleachers and jerked it open, unfortunately breaking the latch in the process. Breaking and entering wasn't something she'd ever expected to do, especially not here, but she shrugged it off as she slipped in the window, not really bothering to close it.

She was tired. Her line's compulsion to sleep was getting the best of her, and she figured it would be best to get in a nap if she wanted to actually be aware for any part of the ceremony. Searching the gym, she found a little space between the bleachers and the wall and pulled up the hood of her sweater, settled some big sunglasses on her face, and leaned back to doze for a few hours.

( Memory Lane )

Who: Alejandro and Jovie
Where: The phone!
When: Late morning


After a couple hours of restless sleep, full of bloody dreams that should have been nightmares but most definitely weren't, Alejandro gave up on sleep and paced around his darkened house. He couldn't leave for hours, not if he wanted to actually get somewhere before he collapsed from sunlight-poisoning or whatever the bloodsuckers called it. None of his weaponry needed cleaning or maintenance-- he'd done that last night-- and the television was boring him.

He had two phone numbers he could call. One of whom would be awake and at work now. The one he hadn't told he was going to be gone all weekend. Alejandro dug around until he found the business card she'd given him, then dug around some more until he found the phone, which surprised him by being hung up where it belonged.

So he dialed, and flopped back on the cluttered couch, and waited.

( I haven't yet decided if you're an interesting man yet )

WHO: Annie, Hal, Fiona (open to Harri, Kaye, more if wanted)
WHAT: Dealing with the aftermath of the attack on Annie
WHERE: Ann Arbor hospital
WHEN: Around 11 p.m.

( No one knows what it's like, to be the sad one.. )

Who: Cian and Fox
Where: O'Learys
When: 10 PM

( It has a snug! Snug!! )

Who: Fiona & Hal
When: 6:30 am
Where: Hal's home

So, Fiona had figured out she's insane. People had been telling her for years and she knew she wasn't all there, but this was a new level of crazy for her. It was 6:30 in the morning, which was an ungodly hour to be awake, especially after a 12 hour shift. But she was not only awake, she was sitting in her car, driving toward Hal's house.

She had gotten home from work about 4:15, showered, put on her pjs, and had every intention of going to sleep. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't fall asleep. All she could think about was Hal. Which had been all she could think about since he had left the fire house. She may have teased him, but she wanted him and it was dirving her nuts.

Which had prompted her getting up, getting dressed, and going to his house. She had no idea if he was up this early in the morning, so she had stopped at the bakery and grabbed some danishes, donuts, and coffee for herself as a peace offering.

Fiona pulled up in her Mini Cooper, looking at his house. Definately nicer than hers with a lot more room on the property. It fit him, that's for certain. She was proud she didn't even get lost. Of course she had memorised the layout of the town so she would know where a fire was for work.

She gripped the bag of pasteries and took a deep breath. Then she got out of the car and walked to the front door. She rang his doorbell and hoped he didn't shoot her for showing up this early. She was definately crazy.

Who: Hal and Alejandro
Where: Anywhere But Here
When: Midnightish (so technically Friday, we're sneaky like that ;p)

( What's wrong with just wanting a beer? )

Who: Kaye, Tayne and Annie
Where: Sunny’s Diner
When: Just after lunchtime
What: Kaye arrives in town and goes to the diner to find Annie.

( ...where she is her usual socially inept self )

Who: Myra & her mother (NPC)
Where: Myra's house
When: 10am
What: Myra finally realizes the truth, thanks to her mother.

( When you'd hide, your songs would die, so I'd hide yours with mine. )

When: late morning
Where: Ethos Café

( Vegans always have a way of finding each other. )

Who: Chrissy and Danny
When: Mid-morning
Where: Sarah's

( Pomp and Circumstance Lingers... )

WHO: Landon and OPEN
WHEN: Today
WHAT: We'll see?
WHERE: Campus.

Landon hummed faintly as he slipped out of the class-room and made his way to wherever food would be cheapest and easiest. His stomach growled and he considered pizza as he crossed the diag... but Chinese sounded good too. Around him the hum of everyone else was loud, his power acting up worse than usual this morning. It would be nice to have someone to eat lunch with, but Loren had opted out of classes that day, claiming he'd rather make money at bubble island than spend it at school.

Who: Artus and Morrigan
What: meeting for the first time
When: Friday Afternoon
Where: coffee shop

( 20,000 words in 24 hours, is that even possible? Why yes, yes it is. )

Who: Noah and Rowena
When: Around 8PM
Where: Noah's home


Rowena had spent quite some time at the part during the late morning hours. Apart from her little visit with Mikhail, she'd used the time to play her guitar and try and settle her thoughts of Noah. It hadn't really helped. He'd sent her the little gift box of cookies and judging by Caius's hyperness, they'd been well received.

She'd wanted to go see him that evening with Caius, but the boy had his sugar crash shortly after dinner and Rowena just didn't have the heart to wake him. Of course she wasn't about to not go to see Noah. So once she'd carried her son to his bed, she found the card with his address on it and set out with a little tupperware dish of cookies she'd made to return the sweet gesture.

She ended up on his doorstep after the sun had already set. There weren't any lights, but she wasn't going to just walk away after driving over here, so she knocked anyway. Lightly though, so as not to wake anyone had they by chance turned in early.

Who: Evan & Dorcas ~ Finished Log
When: Morning-ish. With coffee. Urrgh.
Where: Forsythe & Family Funeral Parlor

( The two most inept people on the face of the planet. )

Who: Rowena, Mikhail, Caius
Where: A park in Scarlet Oaks
When: 11am

Mikhail read the news about the vampire film with horror and disgust. He'd also broken a window and now had his hand bandaged to show for it. And thrown out of his hotel for causing the damage, along with losing the money he'd spent on it. He didn't care. There were other dives to stay in and ways to make money.

And really, he needed to do something for his calm. It was completely shattered at the very idea people would want to see someone turned into a monster. That some fool human had desired it so much, he had fought (and thankfully lost) in court to gain the right. Madness.

So he'd decided to take his violin to one of the busier parks and earn himself some money, see what was going on and hopefully restore some of his peace all at once. It was something he'd done since childhood, playing violin for spare change. Before his mother was murdered, he'd play and she'd dance, much to the delight of the stupid gaje crowds. Then, he had played bright, happy music, perfect for getting people's attention and money.

Those days were gone, those melody's long forgotten. What he played now was dark and grim, although apparently just as compelling, given the small crowd he'd attracted. He noticed wryly a good deal of them were of the goth persuasion, probably vampire posers. How very ironic.
