Light of May ::: an original roleplay

WHO: Gareth (stand alone)
WHAT: Seeing a doctor
WHEN: 4:00 PM
WHERE: Mercy Emergency Walk in Clinic

( She told him the results of the blood draw would be back in about an hour and offered to get him a magazine to read. He'd stared at her for a long moment before asking if they had playboy. She huffed and stormed out. )

Who: Ren and Austin
When: 12:30pm
Where: Sunny's Diner

When Austin had called to accept the piercing job from Ren, his new boss had requested that get together for an informal lunch when he got into town. As soon as he settled into his hotel room he had called Ren and made arrangements to meet at this diner. Not having to worry about getting a little girl dressed and ready to leave actually made him arrive early for once so Austin was enjoying the moment to observe the people in his new little town.

He had dressed semi-casually with a plaid button down shirt and jeans. His leg was bouncing, a nervous habit. He was anxious and nervous to meet Ren and he could feel his heart rate speeding up. He took deep breaths and closed his eyes until the racing stopped. His leg still bounced, but at least his heart wasn't going to run off down the street without him. He nervously cracked his knuckles and glanced at his watch to see that he was still early.

Who: Austin and Coby
When: Before lunch
Where: Phone conversation, answering roommate wanted ad

Austin had checked into the closest non rent by the hour motel he could find. He picked up a local paper and penny saver bulletins in the lobby and settled into his barely adequate room. He certainly couldn't bring Grace to a place like this. He was either going to have to find a place to live ASAP (and a cheap one at that) or find a better hotel. Luckily his parents had agreed to actually stay home and keep Grace for a few days while he got things situated here. He felt bad for disrupting her life as it was, he didn't want to drag her all over town looking for a place to live.

In the paper he saw many advertisements for people needing a roommate but a lot of them asked for no supernaturals and/or no children. He stumbled across one that seemed promising so he called the number listed to see if he could speak with a Coby about her townhome.

Who: Sloane and Will
When: 5:30PM
Where: Bowling Alley

After waking up and trying hard to remember what kind of dream would cause her to do what she did that morning, Sloane showered and promptly tore her closet apart. Everything she owned was either too fancy or too laid back or too something. Frustrated and excited, she threw on some clothes and went shopping for the perfect dress because she was going to do this right, damn it. It took Will well over 10 years to finally ask her out and she didn't want anything to go wrong.

When she got home and tried on her dress it was already 4:30 and Sloane was rushing around trying to get herself presentable. Pulling her hair back into a messy bun, putting on a touch of makeup and slipping into her dress, she waited anxiously for him to show up. The butterflies in her stomach had been going strong since she'd woken up, with only a few break here and there. As she tried in vain to make herself calm down and stop the blush that was creeping up on her, she paced the length of her apartment. Sloane had deja vu; she'd done this same thing only with less nerves the previous night and she felt momentarily guilty, she was never one to juggle men.

There was a knock at the door and Sloane swallowed hard, her stomach doing one great big flop before going still. All butterflies dead and gone. Walking to the door, she opened it and smiled. "Hey,"

Who: Torque and Lia
Where: Off to Joe's Crab Shack
When: Early Evening
What: Crab Legs!

Who: Imogene and Lucas
Where: Woods outside of town
When: Noon-ish

Imogene had turned away from the main road a little while ago. No one had picked her up in over a week, anyway, so she figured it was about time to give her thumb a rest. Besides, she’d spotted what she took to be a little trail going off into the woods, more or less the direction she was heading, and it was always better to be surrounded by more trees rather than fewer, in her opinion.

But she was beginning to regret her choice. The ‘trail’ had narrowed, and by now the understory was so overgrown that it must have vanished all together. Of course it was possible she might have taken a wrong turn somewhere along the way, but she was confident enough in her navigational skills that the very idea seemed absurd. It was the trail’s fault entirely, and she paused to scowl at the forest floor, head tilted and nostrils flaring slightly as she tried to puzzle out her next move.

Who: Anastasia Dubois
Where: Rogue Desires
When: Saturday, June 20th 2009 - 3 am.

Who: Artemis Young and Ren Valin

( ...she knocked on the glass, quietly at first, and then realizing he wouldn't hear that upstairs, she banged harder, really, really hoping he wasn't dead...the dumb ass. )

Who: Isaiah and Lizzy Williamson
When: Around lunchtime
Where: The Williamson household/the park
What: A quick sibling lunch, meeting his sister's familiar and catching up on Isaiah's recent romantic developments ;)



( Isaiah, for one, found it more than a little funny that the Williamson witches both got birds for familiars. Somehow it was fitting. )

Who: Sloane and Will
When: Early Morning
Where: Sloane's Bedroom?
What: She has an interesting dream, that also happens to be NSFW

After her date and talking to her parents, Sloane crawled into bed. Her mother had drained all energy from her with questions and stories about girls her age who were already married and had kids. It was something she wanted, but not right away. Sloane still considered herself relatively young, in her mind she still had time to get married and have children. Her tired mind drifted between her mother's words, the date and... oddly enough Will, which made her blush slightly. Sloane had fun on the date, but it seemed she couldn't push her old school friend from her mind especially since they were going to hang out tomorrow, which Sloane still didn't quite understand. As she lay in bed slowly drifting off to sleep Sloane was suddenly standing in her living room. Wasn't she in bed a second ago? She had her pyjamas, maybe she was dreaming? But it felt so real, she placed the phone down which she realized was still in her hand. Shaking her head, Sloane made her way to her room when there was a knock at the door. She looked at the door for a second. "Who is it?"

( It's just the nearness of you. )

Who: Erika, Chris, invited guests and guests of invited guests, OTA
Where: Erika's
When: Saturday afternoon
What: BBQ!

( Who needs a reason to have a party? )

Who: Dusty and Gideon
When: June 20th, 2009 - around 12:05am
Where: Trailer Park

Dusty was still upset over his quarrel with Gareth when midnight had rolled around, his head still messy and his emotional state turned upside-down. He didn't know how to feel about what had happened, only that Gareth had done some very unfair things and - in Dusty's mind - it was enough to continue to harbor a feeling of betrayal for the younger man. His day had been hell right from the get-go, and it had ended far worse than he ever could have imagined. His strange meeting with the weirdo in the park, the vampires that knew about him and claimed they had blood in common, Gareth's god damn crucifix... and then there were all the animals wandering around, getting in his damn way every few minutes. Dusty sighed, running his hands over his head and lamenting silently over the lack of hair. He hadn't even been given the chance to grow it out, maybe get a nice comb-over going... He grunted his dissatisfaction, eyes wandering the trailer park as he did.

Bad luck and stupid people; it was all the day had really consisted of, and in the end, to make matters worth, he was starving. He drank from Gareth time to time, but it wasn't enough. He thought maybe he could train himself to be okay with it, to man up and get through it, but... Gareth didn't have enough blood in his scrawny body for Dusty to feel comfortable taking more than he absolutely needed. They'd managed to get by so far, but what happened when things got worse? What happened when he became hungry enough that he didn't have a choice...? Maybe his body would take over for him, making him commit acts that made his stomach turn.

These thoughts plagued the Gabriel vampire as he stalked through the trailer park, lonely, hungry and cast out of his own home.
