Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Raina and Griffin
Where: The supermarket
When: Early evenin

It was after Aria finally left that day that Griffin decided he ought to do something productive. While he'd rather just lounge around in the massive after glow, there were still things to be done. Which included grocery shopping. If Aria was going to come around more - which Griffin wasn't all that sure of yet, and he didn't want to get his hopes up... or maybe he did - he knew he'd need more than junk food and expired packages of pre-made salad.

So he headed off to the supermarket, grabbed a cart and began to walk through the place, wondering what a girl like Aria liked to eat. She had enjoyed the dinner before, supposedly, but he couldn't make pork chops every night. He was tempted to just fill his cart with ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate syrup, but... that didn't give off the best impression. Although he was going to buy some.

Who: Niko and Isis
When: Late Evening
Where: Isis's home
Warning: NSFW

( or something like that )

Who: Gabe and Will
Where: Ice Rink
When: Mid-morning

How long could a person go without sleep? One day? Two? How long had Claire been gone? Gabe wasn't sure he'd even slept one full night since then, every night laying sleepless in bed, tossing and turning. What sleep he did get was filled with nightmares. With every additional day that passed, the chances of finding Claire got smaller. Gabe knew this, but it certainly didn't help. He wondered how long it would be till he lost his mind.

He needed to get out of his house, but he didn't know where to go. He wanted to be close to her, to feel close to her, but it wasn't like he could go to her house. Finally, an idea came to him and he grabbed his skates and took off. The next thing he knew he was skating circles around the ice rink, his mind foggy with the memories of the first time he'd met her. Skating had always made him feel free. Now it was an escape, letting him drift back into the past, at least for a little bit.

Who: Fin and Peyton (And Puck the Dog)
When: Afternoon
Where: Cosmic Comics and Games

Fin grumbled down the sidewalk. He wanted money, but he didn't want the job that would go along with it. He didn't understand why his parents didn't just help him buy a new skate and snowboard. Well, he did understand, but he didn't like a bit. Instead he was forced to waste his summer vacation inside working.

Who: Tayne and Justin
Where: Tayne's House
When: Early Evening


( You might Try a More Cheerful Door )

Who: Jessalyn and Tayne
When: Afternoon
Where: The bookstore coffee shop

With some kind of possibility to where Claire and the others might be, Jessalyn was feeling a little bit better, though she wasn't sure she was quite ready to tell Madock, especially with everything he was dealing with at the moment. Because of her. She still felt incredibly guilty and sick about it, which had her unusually quiet and listless. She didn't sleep much, given she'd spent a lot of the evening sitting outside Gabe's house to make sure Madock was okay. Plus, it was hard to relax when she had done what she'd done. She wanted someone to talk to, but the person she would originally go to was Madock, and she couldn't do that now.

So she pulled out her phone and found Tayne's name, thinking maybe he would understand or be able to at least listen without freaking out on her. She sent him a quick text, hoping he was awake and not very busy.

hey. how r u feeling? r u busy?

( Did it hurt your head? )

Who: Oscar and Damian
Where: The Woods
When: Early Morning

Oscar had slipped off at dawn to take a nibble at some delightful grass he'd found yesterday. So it wasn't as exciting as a werewolf going for a run, but to Oscar it was amazing. He left his clothes under a bush at the edge of the clearing he'd found, and the slid to all fours. It took him a few minutes to shift, and it was always uncomfortable if not painful, but the closer it got to the full moon the better it got. He shook his body, glad to be in deer form. It felt more natural to him, he felt less awkward and nervous of messing up.

He wandered into the clearing to chew on a tender bit of grass, keeping his ears twitching to anyone around, were, animal, or human. Couldn't be too careful, even though he hadn't seen anything on the drive over here.

Who: Shanti and Jules
Where: The supermarket
When: Early evening

( They met, they chatted, they parted ways. )

Who: Ezra and Ava
When: After dark
Where: Ava's apartment

Ava was supposed to be shooting in California, but she'd postponed her schedule for a few days, citing a desire to assist with the search for the missing teens. In all reality, she didn't give a damn what happened to the little beasts, but it was good publicity and only upped her status as a Hollywood darling.
( Delivering the goods )

Who: Nathaniel Bartimeus and Helene Laitos
Where: Hill Top Road, near Helene's home.
When: Late Evening, after the sun's gone down.

( It was only a flash of fluff that went by him and darted out on to the street. The owner of the pitiful little 'Mew' he'd heard earlier. )

Who: Ryan and Niko
Where: the Grocery store
When: at about 6PM

Ryan liked to cook. He liked it a lot, and more so because it usually meant feeding his family. And he loved his family. Picking out groceries really wasn't his favorite thing to do, but it had to be done. Sadly, every other Byrne was busy with something else which meant he had to come alone. He was alone too often these days, maybe he should get some friends. Holding a piece of paper with the actual recipe scribbled on it instead of a grocery shopping list, Ryan perused the aisles looking for the ingredients to make a nice Baked penne with Broccoli and meatballs. Yes, carbs. And meat, and vegetables. In their line of work none of them could afford to eat wimpy meals, they needed their strength, which meant as many food groups in one meal as possible.

While trying to pick two packs of penne from the shelf, Ryan accidentally dropped one. Hopefully, not on anyone.

Who: Verity and Jericho
Where: The search party woods, then the car!
When: Late afternoon

With the teenagers still missing, and new developments in their kidnapping starting to emerge, the searches had begun expanding both in location and volunteers. Verity was one of them. With Rhys still gone, she wanted to be able to help Dorian any way she could, which meant more hours at Nevermore, and... well, this. There were buses leaving Scarlet Oak to carry volunteers to the search areas, but Verity couldn't bring herself to board one. She still had too much anxiety over getting into a vehicle with someone else at the helm, so instead she drove separately, thinking that way she could leave when she needed to, rather than waiting on a bus.

By late afternoon, she was walking through a thick forest of trees, not too far from some other volunteers. She heard voices in her head, but they weren't coming from anyone physically present. They were just ghosts of conversations, snippets of people who had roamed these woods in the past. None of them sounded like teenagers, however, though Verity was still bracing herself for something terrifying. How many people had been attacked here? Or hurt? She didn't want to think about it, so she tried to focus on her task at hand instead.

( Except it's also the right wood. )

Who: Connie and Teluah
What: Meeting in the park
When: Sunday June 14, pre-dawn

( When a rabbit isn't a rabbit, a were, or a person named Bunny. )

Who: Ezra and Nate
Where: Ezra's house
When: Mid-afternoon

Ezra had given Danny long enough to think, and the boy was obviously not going to be calling him of his own accord, which meant it was time to take things to the next level and give the boy a reason to call him of his own accord. Ezra wasn't about to waste all the work he'd put into tracking and planning for him only to have it wasted because of some incomprehensible dislike of strength.

Which also meant it was time for Nate's first lesson, and first task. He'd called Nate, given him directions to his home, and told him to come over at his convenience, then started getting things organized for when the boy arrived.

Nate didn't waste much time before he decided to go over to Ezra's. He was apprehension, yet excited about the prospect of learning more blood magic. He didn't necessarily trust the guy yet, but if Ezra knew what he was doing, that would probably come in time. When he arrived, Nate pocketed his keys and headed up to the front door. He wasn't sure what he was expecting, but something told him this was a pretty damn good idea.

( And a Collaborative Curse )

Who: Claire and OT Kidnapped Teens (or Solo)
When: Who knows? (Afternoon)
Where: Dungeon of Doom

With as much blood as they had taken from her, and the others, it was hard to muster up enough energy to do much more than sit there against the wall and count silently in her head. She got up to one thousand and seventeen before her mind wandered and she lost count, forcing herself to start over. Sometimes there was talking, sometimes it was silent. Claire didn't even know what day it was, or how long they had been gone. It felt like an eternity most of the time.

It was yesterday that Claire had a boost of energy. She'd had a sick feeling in her stomach, and Madock had been on her mind. It was so eerily similar to when Gabe had been bitten by that werewolf, that Claire had been convinced something horrible was happening to her brother. It was all wrong and she'd whimpered a bit under the weight of her emotions, because they were so unclear, and yet she knew exactly what was happening. She couldn't do much about it but sit there and tug at the chain on the wall, as if jerking it enough times would eventually bring it out of the wall and she could run for help. Only, she didn't know what was upstairs, or who. Or how she would get out of this place without being caught, or where they even were. That didn't mean she wasn't going to try. Fuck being a captive. Fuck letting them take her blood.

( she was going to go home )

Who: Niko and Jovie
When: Morning
Where: Coffee Shop

It was Sunday, but Niko needed to make sure some bills were paid, check his P.O.box and run some business errands for his father because apparently the man was a little too lazy to do it for himself. Either way, Niko finished up the mail run and the bill paying and was about to head over to talk to a client for his father when he pulled up by a coffee shop to grab a cup. Everyone needed a little caffeine in the morning.

Jovie was taking Sunday off from working, since her incident with Alex the night before - or earlier that morning, since it hadn't been that long ago. She was sore and still trying to wrap her mind around the fact that he was a vampire. With wings. And a sexy one, at that.

( I'm still a landscaper... doesn't mean I'll moonlight as... entertainment anymore though )

Who: Robbie and Becky
When: Early evening
Where: Becky's house

Dinner was done and over with, a simple soup and salad combo that Becky had enjoyed, as usual, alone. She'd gotten to spend some time out of the house the night before and tonight was more of an indoor sort of time. Recuperating from being out again after so long perhaps. Amy was playing away on the blanket Becky had spread out over the Living room carpet, clicking toys together like there was no tomorrow. Becky was sprawled out on her back across the bed with her phone in one hand and the pager number of Gavin in the other. She could call him. Have him call her back. Maybe. If she could work up the guts to do so.

She chewed on her bottom lip and let out a little breath. "It's just a number." she muttered. "Why is it so damn hard to call it?"

( I wish I could see you )

Who: Vol, Penny, and Ennis (open to Brogan as well!)
When: Afternoon
Where: Brogan, Ennis, & Vol's house
What: Swimming!

This was one of those times when Vol acted like a complete and utter child. He loved swimming more than anything. He loved assaulting people with squirt guns and tipping people off their rafts when they least expected it. Said shenanigans were probably not the best thing to teach his young nephew, but it was something he wanted to pass onto someone. That someone being Ennis.

He floated in the cold water of the pool and stared up into the cloudy sky above. It had stopped raining a few hours earlier, so the water wasn't nearly as cold as he thought it would be. Fortunately for Vol, he ran a little warmer than most individuals thanks to his werewolf metabolism also. One of the only things he enjoyed about his condition. Though he sure as hell didn't enjoy that extra warmth when it was seventy degrees out.

Who: Erika & Chris
When: 6 pm-ish
Where: Erika's Place
Barely conscious enough to add a warning: NSFW

Who: Genesis and Adelle
When: Afternoon
Where: U of M Campus

Today really wasn't one of the prettiest days. It was actually rather gloomy in all honestly, but that didn't get Gen down! She was actually quite happy! It wasn't like she truly needed the shade of the tree to protect her from the sunlight today, but she still sat under the same tree that she always did. It was purely out of habit of course. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was splayed open on her lap as her hand delved into the bag of hard candies next to her. She was content and at peace in that moment.

Genesis turned the page of her novel as she chewed on a rootbeer flavored candy. She was at the part in the novel where Alice is at the Mad Hatter's tea party. It was one of her favorite novels regardless of the overuse of drug metaphors within it. Gen wasn't a druggie, but she could definitely appreciate a trippy novel.

She paused for a moment so she could attempt to find her water bottle. There was this unfortunate hole in the bottom of her purse and her water bottle always gravitated toward it. Nothing else fell down in the hole either. Just the water bottle. It made no sense.
