When: Friday afternoon, lunchtime-ish.

( Titles are hard! )

( All the minutes in the world could never take your place )

Who: Claire and Gabe
Where: His house
When: late night, end of the party
NSFW

Claire was feeling... good? That was probably the best way to describe it. The party, at it's peak, had so many people that she had sort of confined herself to the corner of the house when Gabe wasn't around. She didn't expect him to hang out with her all night, since it was his party, and he had other friends to talk to. And she had her own too! Sort of. Madock and Jessalyn, and a couple others... Claire didn't really have any close friends, but the great things about parties was that once everyone started drinking you could really chat with anyone, even if you would never speak to them in school.

But school was over now. Thank god. At least for a couple months. Claire was hanging out in the corner of the kitchen now where it was a bit quieter now, finishing off her third beer, even though she wasn't a big fan of the taste. But Gabe had promised her jello shots, so she wasn't really putting too much thought into her liquor of choice. She was definitely buzzing, and happy, and she was relieved that she hadn't had to drag anyone out into the yard to vomit. Yet anyway.

Who: Katie & Myra
Where: Walmart
When: early evening

So now that all the s'more poptarts were gone in her house, Myra was sent to the store to get more as well as a few other things. That was the problem when you got your license. Parents had a habit of making you run errands for them whenever they caught you. At least it was that way in her house.

Now she was back at her place of work. It was the last place that she wanted to be, but that was where her mother said that she should go. Fortunately, the store wasn't too packed right then. That was when she got an odd thought. Did vampires ever need to go to Walmart? It would be odd to see one there. She laughed out loud by accident, gaining her a few odd looks from other customers. Oh well. Not like that was a new occurrence anyways. When one was an oddball such as Myra, one got weird looks.

Myra walked down the isle with the potato chips and grabbed a bag of cheddar & sour cream ruffles. She would have to hide them from Blake because he was a turd and liked to eat all of the snacks in the house before she even got a chip. Little brothers were a serious pain in the butt. So much so that she contemplated selling him on Ebay every now and then. Or slave traders.

Who: Kaye and Harrison
Where: Scarlet Oak Clinic
When: A couple of hours after this scene.

( You don't call, you don't write... )

Who: Delphine and Maurus
When: Late afternoon
Where: The park

( Technically this was the second date. )

Who: Ezra and Sebastian
Where: Heme
When: An hour or so after sundown

It seemed ridiculous, even shameful, that Ezra hadn't yet been to Heme, the new vampire bar in town. Five whole nights had gone by, and he hadn't even driven by! Was he a vampire hunter or wasn't he? Definitely remiss. Well, at the very least, the lines to get in were dying down by today, so it only took him an hour to get inside, rather than two or three or eight.

So here he was. Wandering around the crowded club and taking note of everyone and everything with avid interest. He finally wound up at the bar, ordering a bloody mary without the actual blood, thank you, and waited there while it was made.

( Very briefly! )

Who: Psalm and some guy he works with (Max)
What: Psalm getting off his shift and finding out he's got a secret admirer
When: a little after 10 pm
Where: Front lobby of the Phoenix

( No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white just our hands clasped so tight )

Who: Dorcas and Evan {Oooh, holy craaaap... 13,000+ words...}
When: Evening around 6
Where: Dorcas's home, Evan's car, Evan's home

( He breaks the shell and it goes to Hell but apparently Hell is paved with chocolate, awkward conversations and T-shirt theft. )

Who: Freddie and OTA
Where: Roaming the streets of Scarlet Oak
When: mid-afternoon

Today was Graduation. Not for Freddie, obviously, but for all the seniors. And she knew many non-seniors were going to see it, too, but not her. She was quite content in being there for her own. And even then, Maybe there was no point. It was unlikely that her father would fly out from England to see it happen, and she just did not want her mother anywhere in public if she was going to be plastered. But now wasn't the time to be thinking about something that would likely only happen exactly a year from today.

Instead of attending Graduation, Freddie could be found roaming the streets of Scarlet Oak randomly, looking for nothing and everything, anything to do, really. Or anyone to meet, talk to, get a smile from. Give a smile to, she supposed.

She had dropped her cigarette butt and was trying to put it out with her sneaker when the wind made it roll away once and again. "Shit!" She cursed, trying to put it out before it ran into something flammable and Freddie caused a fire. There was no water in sight either, otherwise she would have just tried that. Sadly, she had to keep hopping after the damned butt.

Who: All teens
Where: Gabe Winter's house
When: From 9pm onwards!

Gabe had hosted parties in the past, but none were as successful as this one turned out to be.  The seniors were riding the high from graduating, while anyone in high school was just glad for their summer vacation to start.  Music played in the living room, while a keg stood in the middle of the kitchen.  Another keg was out on the back porch.  People were coming and going from all entrances and exists; Gabe had never seen so many people in his house.  At least it wasn't over packed!  Everyone seemed to be having a good time, and with a beer in his hand, Gabe began to make the rounds.

Who: Day, Christian and their father (NPC)
When: Five pm
Where: Their home

For once the whole Danui family was together around the kitchen table. Dinner spread out across it and their father in the usually empty seat at the end of the table. It was graduation day and he couldn't miss that now could he? Christian had wished he had missed it. This graduation was depressing. Day was leaving high school and with it, leaving him behind. At least that's how it felt to Chris. He didn't want Day to graduate. He was proud of him of course, but it was still hard to deal with the fact that he wouldn't be in school with him any longer. He'd at least managed to keep from letting any tears fall at the ceremony. The car ride home though was harder to handle because there was talk of college and all that. As soon as the group got home, he'd retreated to his room for a nice long cry. Dinner though, he couldn't avoid. Sitting down in his chair, he glanced up at Day and then at their father. It almost seemed odd to have him at the table, being so used to not having him around for dinner.

For his part, Day was happy, in a long-lasting good mood for the first time in what felt like days. A little oblivious to his brother's mood, since he had missed the car ride home in order to take Lacy home and he'd spent the last hour since he got back helping their dad put dinner together. When Daniel Danui actually cooked, he was actually pretty good at it, and this was more of a treat than any fancy restaurant could have been. Just having their dad home for a few hours was more of a treat than any fancy restaurant could have been.

( I couldn't abandon you )

Who: Day and Tilly
What: Waiting to be called for Graduation
When: Afternoon
Where: at the Graduation Ceremony

Tilly was happy. Oh, she was happy, so much so she couldn't quite stop grinning. It would be silly, if it wasn't a tiny bit appropriate. Her family was there, Hawk was there (she had seen him, and waved, but she hadn't gone to him and he would probably understand - she was busy!), and she was sitting next to her very best friend, who seemed rather happy himself. All good things.

( With friends! )

Who: Tilly and Hawk
Where: Hawk's van
When: After Graduation

( All done. )

Who: Melia and Squid
When: Evening
Where: Redleaf Lake

After such excitement her first two days in town, Melia was almost surprised (and a little disappointed) to have an ordinary day. But then, as she hadn't gone searching in town, she supposed she couldn't really complain. Obviously that was where all the interesting (and delicious) humans and other creatures were; she decided to have a bit of dinner and then head in.

The temptation to go snack on one of the dead humans weighted down at the bottom of the lake was strong, but they were delicacies and she wanted to make them last. No telling when she'd get another one from Kitty. So she took off for the far end of the lake instead, rocketing after a large school of trout. Catching a few was no hard task even without using her voice, and she slowly drifted back towards the center, deepest part of the lake, trout in each hand as she swam and snacked at the same time.

Who: Tayne and Chris
Where: Sunny's Diner
When: Early afternoon

After letting Annie get settled chatting with Kaye, Tayne was back to... counter duty. Whee. Only not so much. He missed the kitchen already, and kept hurrying back to see if they needed help, when he had a free minute. This time, they had, and he'd quickly put together a tuna melt and delivered it for pickup before getting back out to his actual station for the afternoon, scanning the counter to see if anyone new had shown up, or anyone he'd been serving so far needed anything.

( Y'all got any lunch specials? )

Who: Brady and Oscar
Where: The Inn
When: Friday Morning

( There are certain things one never takes into account until it smacks them in the face... )

Who: Jessalyn and Madock
When: Post graduation
Where: Graduation, Madock's car, a pond
nsfw

After the graduation ceremony commenced, Jessalyn waited with her family until she was able to see Ransom and give him a big hug and kiss. Afterward, she began to move through the crowded throng of people to find Madock. There were so many caps and gowns, that for most people it would be impossible to track on specific person, but Jessalyn had great sense of direction and smell, and she had already memorized Madock's scent. It didn't take her very long to find him and when she did, she threw her arms around him in another big hug. "Congrats! You're officially an adult now. Well, you already were because you're eighteen, but now you really are."
