Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Sam and Jo.
Where: The Summers’ House.
When: Morning.

At some point during the night one of the pillows had ended up on top of Sam’s head and it tumbled off with a light thump after slipping from the bed altogether and hitting the floor. The sound was enough to pull him all the way out of his slumber with a quiet groan, the arm that had draped over the edge of the mattress rising up to swipe at his face in an attempt to rid himself of the grogginess. It lingered for a couple more minutes as he went through the process of extricating himself from the bed completely and digging clothes out of drawers and the closet. It was warm enough in the house that a simple pair of pants and a plain t-shirt would be enough for him to wander around in until he had to go somewhere else though as he finished pulling the shirt on over his head he couldn’t for the life of him think about anywhere he needed to be. Maybe he would just stay inside then, or head out into the garden. It looked crisp and cool outside, the view from the window showed him that much, and there was a novel sitting on the nightstand with a marker sticking out roughly halfway through the pages. If nothing else came along that sounded like a good enough plan to him.

Without bothering to pull on any socks or footwear he padded out of his room barefoot, making his way down the stairs to the kitchen. His stomach was growling quietly and would only gain more volume as time ticked along so breakfast seemed like the best course of action. With the ease of someone familiar with his surroundings he gathered items from the cupboards and the refrigerator without needing to pause to think about where they were, hearing someone else venturing down from upstairs as he worked out exactly what he wanted to eat.

“Morning,” he said to the new arrival, turning his head to look at Jo as she crossed the threshold. His nose had already told him who was coming. For a second that had struck him as odd before he simply accepted it and carried on with that knowledge. “Want some breakfast?” he asked her with a smile on his face, indicating the various bits and pieces he’d gathered together to satisfy any hungry stomach.

BIRTHDAYS: No Birthdays Today!

WEATHER: Today is cold. Actually, it feels a lot worse than it really is thanks to the wind whipping through town. Layer up, folks!

EVENTS: As it turns out, the humans weren’t the only ones investigating the trouble at the high school. While the general public has only recently learned of the fae involvement, the fae themselves have been clued in for a while that it was one of their own behind the entire incident. From the moment the dome became apparent for what it really was and the viewing pools began displaying everything going on inside, the Seelie Court was abuzz with questions of who was behind this. The answer seemed obvious: if this was serious fae magic and the Seelie weren’t involved, the only group left capable of perpetrating such a thing were the Unseelie fae. The malicious, mischievous fae had been guilty of many a trick since the gates opened, but nothing quite on this scale. This was not the way the Seelie fae imagined coming out to the world. There were even those that feared the public backlash that would arise once the news broke. Something had to be done to show the people of Scarlet Oak that the fae were capable of doing good things. Something had to be done to make things right.

The day those trapped in the high school were released, two Seelie fae went to work. They were careful to keep their true intentions hidden, fearing what might happen should anyone catch sight of two strange figures manipulating magic out in the open. What might have been seen were a pair of children playing patty-cake at the playground in early morning, or a couple dancing on the sidewalk along main street at noon -- all these innocuous encounters occurring throughout the day, every day since this past Tuesday. By 12AM this morning, the spell they had been working on for days was ready to take effect. The moment the clock struck twelve, the entire sky lit up. For those up to see it, the night ignited and for a full second it seemed as though it was day. That was it -- the only sign that the people of Scarlet Oak had that something had happened.

( And something big had happened. )
