Where: Elias home-area

( But you'll never find it. )

Who: Darklis
Where: Home --> St Francis' church
When: Noon

Every lock and deadbolt in the house was locked. The windows were closed and the curtains drawn. The latter was mostly because the occupant had yet to bother herself with opening them, not all that interested in looking out or giving others the chance to look in. A dead silence reigned, marred only by the faintest hum coming from the muted television and the occasional turning of a page. Via sight alone, it would have been difficult to actually find Darklis. The egg chair (pod chair... womb chair, whatever you wanted to call it) that she had curled up in had been turned to face the corner it was sat in after she had grown irritated by the fact she could still lip-read the nonsense the news readers were coming out with. Now, both the chair and the wall blocked out the rest of the world while she read. Days made up of twenty-four hours that she slept through no part of meant she had time aplenty to go through book after book. It inevitably meant she possessed far too many. ( Read more... )

Who: Cael, Viuly, and Liam (NPC)
Where: Theiss household
When: Morning
Warning: A little NSFW near the end

The feeling of waking up in Cael’s arms was indescribable. It was like the New Year’s night when Cael did nothing but worship her body and never let her go. Viuly smiled sweetly, lifting her head from his chest to watch him sleep peacefully. It wasn’t a dream after all. She brought a hand up to brush over his face, doing her best not to wake him up. Her heart couldn’t stop racing in her chest while her gaze admired him. And now that he was back, she had a reason to get up early and make breakfast. With a light kiss on his chest, she gingerly slipped out from his arms and out of bed, giggling as she grabbed his shirt and threw it on, liking how it barely covered her rear. After throwing out a pair of itty bitty shorts for the sake of decency, she quietly left the room.

And she didn’t walk to the kitchen first, instead sneaking into Liam’s room. She spotted her son curled up with his favorite teddy bear, leaning over to pet his head. The little boy let out a yawn while rubbing his eyes. “Morning, sweetie,” Viuly spoke with a smile, something she rarely did this early for her child. “You want to help mommy make breakfast?” Those words seemed like they made Liam’s day. He perked right up with an eager grin and bounced right on out to follow his mother like a little duckling.

Who: Ophelia and a few random NPCs
When: 10AM on the dot
Where: Smack-dab in the middle of town
Warning: Slight gore.

Ophelia was reclining in what had been Elijah’s favorite chair, reading about blood curses, when she felt the change. How the magic of the gates worked was a hard thing to explain. While in Celestia, it was a power she always felt, laying dormant inside of herself. Blocked away, past a barrier she couldn’t help to penetrate. The second she felt the barrier fall to ruin she sat up straight. Her body froze with the shock. She was afraid to believe it – afraid to get her hopes up. And before she could talk herself out of it, or worry that it was some sort of trick, she was gone. Before the average human could have the time to blink, Ophelia had tapped into that power, and found herself standing in the middle of Scarlet Oak.

And a Legionary of Haures was charging at her.

“Jesus Christ!” ( OMGWTFBBQ?! )

DATE: Sunday, August 9, 2009.

BIRTHDAYS: Graham, K-Lee

WEATHER: Sunny, beautiful, and perfect in every way (despite the oppressive heat). It’s a beautiful day for the world to end! Possibly?

EVENTS: Scarlet Oak is bracing itself for the demonic attacks. By ten AM, the streets are empty, most people already settled in shelters or fortified in their homes. As the appointed hour hits around the world…

Things are… quiet.

It’s impossible to know, early on, that things are any different from any of the last waves of demonic activity. There are still demonic attacks. Legionaries of every kind are reported all around the world, including in Scarlet Oak. But more than that is happening.

Isolated reports are coming in about winged creatures appearing out of nowhere in places of demonic activity and destroying the demons. Many of these reports are dismissed. A report comes in to the Ann Arbor news of a few Scarlet Oak citizens being cornered by a demon, only for a woman with black wings to appear out of nowhere and immediately kill the demon. This report doesn’t hit the news right away, as the police are too busy trying to make sense out of the hysterical witnesses.

At 1 PM Scarlet Oak time, something big finally happens. News outlets all around the world go nuts with the information. Every member of Niall Mag Aoidh’s coven turns themselves in to local police. And it’s not just happening in Ireland – members of the coven appear in sects all around the world, with two actually turning up in Scarlet Oak’s police station. When asked, they simply say that they have accomplished what needed to be done, at the expense of many lives, and are ready to face justice for their actions. The numbers worldwide are so massive that it’s estimated to have upwards of twenty thousand in Ireland alone. Police all around the world are baffled, and in many cases, just don’t know what to do with these people.

By 4 PM Scarlet Oak time, Niall Mag Aoidh himself releases a statement through his lawyer.

My people have successfully accomplished what we first set out to do. Balance has been restored to the world. The gates are open. The angels can return. Our life purposes complete, we resign ourselves to our fate and the world’s mercy with absolute peace in our hearts.

It’s impossible for anyone to know exactly what he means. And in truth – even Mag Aoidh’s coven doesn’t understand just how successful their spell was. But once again, angels are walking the earth. And they’re not alone. Travel between realms has been restored.

Including the realm of the Fair Folk.

If you have something you feel warrants a mention in the next time update, please let the mods know!
