Who: Rowan and Whisper
When: Around eleven a.m.
Where: Jo-Ann Fabric's

( Sunny days were extremely inconvenient, but Whisper had been alive for so long that they no longer stopped her from doing anything. )

Who: Aoife/Marissa and Nixie
When: Not long after noon
Where: Along the riverside where it's heavily wooded

It wasn't shaping up to be any better of a day than the last one had been, Nixie realized as she woke up to find her younger sister already gone from the boat. Vaguely she remembered Charlene having said something about having plans that day, and something in the way she had said it had led her to think that those plans weren't ones she'd approve. Fixing to get herself killed, Nixie thought with a shake of her head as she floated on the surface of the river in a heavily wooded area. There may have been a city nearby, but the woods provided a cover of sorts and she was sure she'd be able to hear anyone coming.

Besides, it was kind of nice to relax in the sun, soaking it up like she had enjoyed doing when she spent time in the warmer waters of the south. She wasn't sure of how long she would spend there anymore, Charlene was being remarkably stubborn about wanting to stay, but while Nixie did she was going to enjoy herself. Even if there were unpleasant things to think about.

Maybe she would be able to surprise a human coming to fish. That would make her day better, one of the very few things that could.

Who: Kiley & Morgan
Where: The Starbucks where Kiley works
When: Tuesday afternoon

( Where's the Mexican Staring Frog of the southern region? )

Who: Marissa/Aoife and Calista
When: Round about six
Where: Open mic night at a snazzy coffee house

Aoife leaned against a support beam, her head slightly tilted to avoid the bulletin board full of colorful announcements of film festivals, charity runs, and offers of guitar lessons. This wasn't the sort of place she was really used to. In her day, and until very recently, really, she'd been under the impression that supernaturals mainly clung to the edges of society, having some innate decency to tell them they didn't belong with the real people. And as most of her jobs had been geared toward ridding people of problem cases, weres who'd decided they rather liked being monsters and suchlike, she'd been able to maintain that illusion right up until May 1st. She was still getting used to the idea that her targets might well be hiding anywhere within polite society.

She'd gotten good at using Marissa's assets in seedy bars, truck stops, and run-down Podunk towns, but she was still getting used to the different tricks that'd help her ingratiate herself in a more civilized crowd. Seh was still flaunting cleavage, but she'd toned down her makeup a lot, spending the better part of half an hour just staring in the mirror, comparing her face with vague impressions of a different sort of girl. Aoife had no native social graces, but she'd learned to be a chameleon, and Marissa's pretty face made life even easier.

So now she was sipping a chai latte rather than a Budweiser, gazing out over the crowd. From what she'd learned of this part of the city, half the people here might be witches or worse. She kept her stolen face open and cheery though, listening politely to the girl on stage reading her poetry. It didn't rhyme, which always confused Aoife. What was the point? Her forehead creased slightly in mild puzzlement, then smoothed out again as she reminded herself she really didn't care.

Who: Kikuya and Torshael
When: 12pm
Where: Community Park

Now that the weather was finally nice for a change of pace, Kikuya figured it was a perfect opportunity to go for a run. After tossing on some gym shorts, a snug tank top, and a pair of running sneakers - all coordinating in gray and cyan - she pulled her hair back into a messy bun, plugged herself into her iPod shuffle, and was out the door. It felt like it had been forever since she had some exercise of some sort. True, she was able to do simple routines in her living room, but it wasn't the same as running. Not to mention she never appreciated the snide remarks Makoto made about her being fat. Damn cat.

Halfway through her routine she came across the park, some place she hadn't been to in a while. At first she was extremely apprehensive about approaching it, especially after what happened last time. Slowing down on the sidewalk, she glanced over the area, noticing that the cursed tree was no longer there. Figured, seeing that Kikuya was in no position to make it permanent. She wondered if it pissed off the redhead at all. The very thought brought a smirk to her lips.

She couldn't feel the area being blessed at all as she approached the grass. Had it worn off? It wouldn't surprise the model, seeing that it was nearly a week ago since it happened. Whatever... dumb bitch. With that in mind, she came to a nearby tree and plopped down beside it. As she leaned back against it, she wiped the sweat away from her face and began mentally kicking herself for not bringing any water.

Who: Oscar and Logan
When: Evening
Where: Their duplex

Oscar had been working most of the day, trying to get himself on a normal sleep schedule. Without a herd, he found no reason to stay out late at night. Without them, he could go out whenever he wanted, even if the fear of hunters was worse now that he was alone. Maybe he could ask Logan to come out with him on his next run, just to stay close, keep an eye out. He'd rented a movie, some horror movie that had come out recently. Oscar liked them, because the scary parts were always over with after the end of the movie. And he could cling to Logan.

"You home?" He called as he walked into the apartment, dusting off his pants and stripping off his shirt as he walked back to his room to change. Sweatpants sounded great right now. "I got a movie for us to watch."

Who: Gideon & Kerry
When: just before work
Where: in the shadow of an overhanging fire escape off a street corner

( First posted Log, go easy... )

Who: Sonny and Ella.
Where: Bargain Books/Park.
When: 2 PMish.

( Sonny danced with anticipation after work. )

Who: Amina and Tessa
When: Late Afternoon
Where: Red Dragon Dojo

She was never one to condone fighting and actually hated violence, but after three years of living with Julian, Amina had changed her opinion. She'd never start a fight but she wanted to be ready, she wanted to be able to take care of herself. Amina didn't want to rely on her older brother to fight all her battles, she was an adult now and was perfectly able to take care of herself.

During her time walking about Scarlet Oak, Amina had noticed a place that had intrigued her. Red Dragon Dojo, on a whim she decided to visit the place. Maybe she could sign up for lessons or something, get an idea of what went on inside a Dojo. She smiled to herself, reaching for the door and opening.

Who: Tessa Rogers and Charlene Pearl
Where: The Red Dragon Dojo
When: Late morning
What: Fire meets water... sort of



( Whatever the reason, whatever emotions were boiling inside her, Tessa knew she might well burn down her apartment building if she stayed cooped up all day. )

Who: Ross and Coby
Where: The Mudhouse
When: Late afternoon

Coby needed caffeine, and bad. Her first night at Shimmer had been good, but thoroughly exhausting. Even after ten hours of sleep she was tired. After ordering a cappuccino with three shots, she glanced around for a place to sit. It was packed at this time of day, so there were no free tables. She grabbed her drink from the barista and headed over to a table where there was only one guy sitting. He was pretty cute too.

"Mind if I sit here?" She asked, as she sat across from him. Not that he had much of a choice, she was going to sit here anyway. "I'm Coby, nice to meet you." The werelioness glanced him over, noticing the wedding band. Well, shit. She'd flirt anyway. Even if his wife was in the coffee shop, Coby could leave. Or take her down if the woman decided to freak out.

Who: Misha and Maddie
Where: Their house
When: Lunchtime!


Hamish was busy. Extremely busy. He'd just been to the store to get all fresh ingredients. The night had been long before, both the party (which seemed to have been a success) and the rather wonderful time with Reid. He was a sweet guy and Hamish was glad to have spent time with him. But as usual, his dance card was full, so instead of relaxing he was giving the house a good clean down, sticking all the cooking in the oven and then going up. He put all his sheets and blankets in the wash, just in case, and then set about choosing his outfit. Still, as he examined his pants and skirts another thought dawned on him.

Clad in nothing but a pair of pink silk pajama bottoms Hamish moved towards the sounds of his room mate, wondering how Maddie was going to take his request. He'd never bothered to ask him to leave so Hamish could entertain before, and Maddie had never made the request of him. But as much as he loved his roommate, he really like Hier, and the new friend was a bit more demanding in all ways than the usual casual acquaintance. Hamish wanted to put together the best meal, outfit, and atmosphere for him, and was worried that Maddie's dominating personality would distract it.

"Maddie? Gorgeous? Can ah... I ask you summat?" he asked, coming into the room where Maddie was and taking a deep breath. Maddie was one of the few people who could be so overwhelming that he could make Hamish feel meek or anxious. Even when Misha was struggling with his self image and still struggling to find his style he was always very happy and confident.

Who: Andrea, Open to all ^_^
Where: The Park
When: 5



"Yes, papa, I'll be careful. No, papa, I haven't seen anything scary, don't be silly. No.. I... papa! Stop! I'm doing great, and so's the shop. I just hired a new... yes, papa, she's a girl. No, I haven't had any scary customers. Papa..." Andy sighed and closed her eyes as she talking into her cell phone, then smiled. "Of course I'll come up to see everybody soon. Ok. Goodbye, papa. I love you. Give my love to mama."

Hanging up she stuck the phone in her bag and walked down the park walkway, looking around. It was warm today, warm enough to spaghetti straps and cheerful spring pastel colors, a small skirt with flowers on it and tall brown boots with heels. Not that they made her too tall anyway. She smiled as she knelt by a flower patch, stroking the colors. Simple and easy to take care of, like most city plants, but still beautiful. She paused, seeing a small butterfly fanning its wings in the breeze. "Oh, hello little thing," she grinned, slowly reaching out and putting her finger under the insect, lifting it up and examining it. "Look at you! So cute and a little early."

Happy with her newfound company Andrea remained a bit oblivious to the world around her. Despite all the trouble in that area she still felt safe and comfortable in her town, especially when the sun was shining bright. She'd let her father do the worrying about her while she was enjoying herself.
