Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Kayla and Madock
When: Afternoon
Where: The Grocery store

( Searching for real food. )

Who: Neil and Saoirse
When: Early afternoon, just after Heme opens
Where: Heme

Even if Heme hadn't been open all that long, they still had regulars. And a good percentage of them weren't vampires. The hardcore groupies - whatever you wanted to call them, be them freshies, fangbangers, or blood dolls - were always on hand, as were the lonely people who came to Heme because they knew it wouldn't be empty. And the weekends were worse.

Thankfully, it didn't really get crowded (usually) until after the sun went down. Saoirse had a couple of people sitting at the bar (one vampire, two humans - figured), and then less than a dozen other people at tables. This was quiet, and not a bad change of pace. Might as well enjoy it, because it'd be crazy later.

She stood behind the bar, not having to pay much attention to the people sitting nearby. She could pour drinks without looking up from her cellphone or saying a word, as she texted away, trying to figure out if Heme's vampire band was going to play Big Momma Moriarty's battle of the bands. Oh yes, this was happening. This was happening, or Saoirse was going to stake herself some bitches and drag them on stage with her. End of freaking story.

Who: Ada and K-lee
Where: Some random wineyard in the A' area
When: Afternoon

K-lee'd had such a good morning with Margaret and the day was only getting better. Touring a vineyard was pretty cool, she had to hand it to Ada for having the idea. Speaking of Ada, it was nice to see her again. Sure it was all a game but she was seriously enjoying it. Ada was so genuine and open and nice that it spread. Was kind of nice to just act pleasant. And still be able to express herself in little ways. Like reaching out to sneak her hand into Ada's while they were walking, blushing a little and grateful for the sunglasses that hid her eyes. That way Ada wouldn't notice how much more she was looking at her as opposed to the surroundings. Wasn't too often that she ended up on what could be considered a third date without having actually gotten into bed... though she supposed she hadn't really been trying. Heightened the tension on her end and that could be fun.

"So," she asked, brushing her hair back and brushing a lea off her shirt. "Enjoying yourself so far? Know I am, this was a great idea."

Who: Margaret and Missy
When: Midday, July 3rd
Where: The Owl's Nest
What: The foreign reporters do lunch.


Margaret could have spent the whole day with K-lee after their early morning date, but she never missed an arranged meeting once it was made. She had to pry herself away and get to the Owl's Nest for her light lunch with the other foreign reporter.

She managed to arrive early and grabbed a table for them. It was a pleasant environment to sit by oneself. She ordered hot tea and browsed the walls of the restaurant from her seat, occasionally looking around at the other diners while waiting for Missy. Her menu sat on the tablecloth untouched; since it was a casual lunch she wasn't in any hurry to order right away.

She hadn't decided yet what she wanted to get out of this meeting. Their first meeting had been brief but pleasant and they certainly had things in common. The time they spent didn't allow her enough opportunity to get a strong impression of the woman. She needed to feel this out before knowing what she could get out of it (and then making the conscious decision about what she wanted to get out of it).

Knowing she wouldn't be able to make notes without being too conspicuous she turned on a small tape recorder in her bag which she set on one of the spare chairs at their table. She could use the recording later to jog her memory on what (if anything) she could glean from Missy today.

Looking up with a thoughtful smile she waved over to Missy as she arrived. Margaret rose briefly to stretch out her hand for a shake; it was something of a business practice she maintained, even if it wasn't a business lunch. "Hello Missy, how does today find you?"

Who: Brady & Quentin
Where: Quentin's Place
When: Lunch-ish

( Although Brady would hold it against nobody if they stood up and walked out on him once he couldn't hold a tune. He'd want to join them in their need to flee... )

Who: Bren and Neil
Where: a mostly abandoned parking lot
When: An hour-ish after sunset

( Press always prays for whichever headline's worse )

Who: Calista, Hap and Raz
Where: The lovely park
When: Morning-times

( No matter which way you go. )

Who: Adam Rowe and Aurora Elias
When: Early afternoon
Where: Random ice cream place ftw!
What: Random meetings are the best, y/y?



( Different venue for sure, so he could definitely try to write here for a while. If it didn't work, he could always try some place else later. )

Who: Kiley Ricks and Ian Cochran
When: Evening
Where: Heme
What: Kiley did always say she would stop by to see Ian at work sometime :)


( But then again, it was a Friday night, wasn't that what regular people did, go out for a drink? )

Who: Kiley and Darcy
Where: Darcy's apartment
When: Lunchtime
What: Pizza, Nerdy Time, Girl Talk and planning


( Really, was there a problem that Mal 'Captain Tightpants' Reynolds couldn't fix? Nope, she thought not. )

Who: Bren, Dagmar (NPC), Linnea and Satu (NPC)
Where: Niemi House
When: 1:00 p.m.ish

( If you burn my clothes so help me you will never sleep dry another night in your life )

Who: Karine and Nikita
Where: Cherryblossom Place - Nikita's Office
When: 1:30 p.m.

( Guess whose come to say hello. )

Who: Missy and Sasha
Where: Starbucks
When: 9:00 a.m.

( I do not feel ashamed. )

Who: Raz
Where:UofM Exhibit Museum of Natural History
When: 8 pm

Raz had taken Paige's advice to some degree when he headed to the museum. There was no way he wasn't going to go when it was closed. The idea appealed to him way too much to not jump on that boat, but it was a smart idea to head in while the doors were open. After doing a brief walk through he wondered why he had come after all. It was just like any ole boring museum, after all.

( At least this crap doesn't come to life, right? )

Who: Trigger and Domina
When: late morning
Where: Ad Gustum
What: Watch and learn.

( They were deadly nightshade. Undiluted. )

Who: Adrian and Bren.
Where: Scarlet Oak Community Park.
When: Early afternoonish.

( And although I know it's strictly taboo... )

Who: Kikuya and Whisper
Where: Their suite at THEhotel in Las Vegas
When: 2am... 3am...? Dude, it's Vegas, who's keeping track?!
Warning: NSFW

( Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked. )

DATE: Friday, July 3, 2009.

WEATHER: The skies are clearing, and it looks like we're due for beautiful weather tomorrow!

EVENTS: Violence is in the news again, but surprisingly – none of it is related to demonic activity.

Yesterday morning, the bodies of a low-level elemental and her familiar were found murdered in the woods of south-west Scarlet Oak. Few details have been released on the case, including the victim's name, as authorities are still waiting for her family to be made aware. Also happening yesterday morning, one of Scarlet Oak's local tattoo and piercing parlors, Dog-Ink burned down. The fire has been ruled accidental, and no casualties or serious injuries have been reported.

Also in the news, a green buick has been found in a ditch on a remote woodland road. The owner of the buick was Belle Quincy, a math teacher at the local high school. She is described as 42 years old, brunette, and about 140 pounds, last seen on June 30th when she left the local gym sometime after dark. She was not well known to anyone in the school system and her family is asking for anyone with any possible information to come forward.

And once again, the Mud House is having open mic night. Tomorrow's the battle of the bands!
