Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Jason and Sebastian
When: Evening
Where: John's Place

Jason sat in the small room on the edge of the bed with soft sheets taking a drink from the bottle of water before setting it on the floor. Slowly he ran his hand through his conditioned hair- thinking absently that he needed a trim because it felt like it was starting to get a bit long for him- and adjusted the collar of his coat. His dress was nicer than he'd worn in a long time- more than he'd been able to afford on a teacher's salary- a black undershirt with black cotton button up shirt- the top few buttons undone, black suit jacket and slacks. And he waited, waited for the client who would be entering those doors any moment. It was strange the ancticipation Jason felt wasn't like he normally felt when meeting someone in a dark alley, it was twice as powerful and twice as addictive.

Having left the blood bank, shy a pint of blood and Sebastian gained quite a few publicity shots of him both donating and flirting with the nurses. Making jokes about the smell of blood and the sight of gorgeous women doing great things for his blood pressure. He had left with some great press, and two nurses' numbers.

Who: Day and Christian
When: Late night, after Hayden leaves
Where: Day and Christian's house

After their walk and after Hayden had gone home, Christian made his way to his brother's room, lightly knocking on the door. He didn't want to feel like a total idiot and he was still somewhat disagreeing with Day's opinion of Tilly and Hawk's relationship, but he didn't want his brother mad at him either. Apologizing was just going to have to happen and after his argument with Hayden that night, he knew he'd have to explain that too, so now was as good a time as any. "Day... can I talk to you?"

Day had heard that fight, all right. And it'd left a sinking feeling in his stomach, listening to it. He was currently on his back on the bed, reading through the vampire book he'd bought the other day with the music up. Christian had gone out, presumably to stop Hayden and make up and then probably make out, and their father had come home while he was gone and, after a brief "hello-how-are-you" had disappeared into his room. The sound of the television had shut off almost an hour ago, so he was probably asleep.

"Come in," he answered his brother, not looking up from his book just yet. He was, after all, still supposed to be annoyed with his brother.

Who: Annie and Harrison
What: A phone call, then meeting
Where: On the phone, after that Sarah's Place
When: Late afternoon, 4:30ish


( Therapists had a term for this...and it wasn't closure.. )

Who: Ransom and Charlotte
When: Nighttime, after the campfire scene
Where: Campsite
Warning: NSFW

The evening had proved to be just as eventful as the day. Charlotte had worried about Blake and Bunny after what happened, but it seemed they would both just need time. In time, the mood picked up again, and people started going their own ways.

Charlotte sat at the campfire with Ransom, holding his hand and leaning against his shoulder. The drama from earlier aside, she felt blissfully content. Her expectations from the week preceding had already proven true - she didn't want the trip to end. She was already spoiled. That realization in mind, she decided they ought to make the most of their time together. Smiling softly, she stood and faced Ransom, tugging slightly at his hand as she looked down at him.

Who: Gabe and Claire
When: Nighttime
Where: Campfire/Tent
Warning: NSFW

The day had gone pretty well. Claire wasn't a big fan of long car rides, but when they got to the lake, it had been totally worth it. The land was really spacious, and beautiful, and it didn't take very long for everyone to get their tents up and their gear unpacked. She spent the majority of her time with Gabe, though she'd broken away long enough to hang out with Madock and Jessalyn, and chat a little bit with the other kids that had come with them. She didn't want to be anti-social and give the impression of being a bitch or anything, even if she was feeling a bit self conscious being around people she didn't know very well.

Who: Hayden and Christian
When: Nighttime
Where: who knows?

It was close to nine by the time Hayden went up to her room and flopped down on her bed. She'd been studying the script for Into the Woods for most of the day, and spending necessary 'parental' time during the rest. She supposed it was okay and everything. Her mom tended to feel a bit guilty, working so much that she rarely saw Hayden, so every now and then she took Hayden on these massive shopping sprees, leaving Hayden with a bunch of new things she didn't really need or want, but it seemed to alleviate some of her mom's guilt, so Hayden went along with it willingly. Right now though, all she wanted was to talk to Christian, since she'd gone a whole day without even a text.

Grabbing her phone, she sat up on her bed and hoped he wasn't too busy to respond. hey u :) what r u up too?

Who: Psalm and Myra

When: Tuesday June 9th, late evening

( Goodnight little sweet, I'll sing you to sleep. Watch everything recede la la la la. )

Who: Alex and Jovie
When: Evening
Where: Anywhere but Here

Given it had been a couple of days since Jovie last saw Alex, she decided to pay him a visit at work. She closed up her shop after sunset, went home to change into something a bit sexier than her jeans and blouse, and drove over to the bar. Having been around plenty of boring people that day, she was looking forward to being around someone mildly entertaining whose mind she couldn't read. After checking her hair and makeup in her rearview mirror, Jovie got out of her car and walked into the bar, not bothering to look around. She knew exactly where he would be. Jovie sidled up to the bar and took a seat in the middle of the counter, so that he couldn't get very far from her no matter where he went.

Alejandro walked in a few minutes after she did, at the back entrance, wishing to hell it was winter and the sun would fuckin' set before eight thirty or nine or whenever. He clocked in, then headed out to relieve the current bartender-- who had already served Jovie her first drink. He didn't notice the lady just yet, distracted by trying to get organized for the night.

( Who Won This Time? )

Who: Madock and Jessalyn
Where: Their tent
When: Late evening
NSFW

Despite her small argument with Madock in the car that morning, Jessalyn had had a really great day. There was a lot to do when they got there, and she did what she could to help get things set up. Plus, everyone smelled really nice, and so far, people were pretty friendly. After spending a day swimming and spending time with Madock, Jessalyn found she was pretty exhausted by the time the sun set. That didn't really deter her, however, since she sat around the campfire with everyone, attempting rather unsuccessfully to roast marshmallows without catching them on fire.

Placeholder for Hope and bruised!Jacob

Who: Monica and Syri
Where: Some bar
When: around midnight

This had been some shitty weekend. The full moon thing had kicked her ass, especially the part where she couldn't tell anyone what exactly was happening with her not having slept home and whatnot. Then she'd had to cheer up her friend, although none of them really knew what Lucia needed to be cheered up about; and Monica had barely been hanging on. She still needed to go visit the cute guy at the bookstore too, but before that unwinding needed to be done. And Monica Warner would unwind with a few drinks as usual, this time at a bar nobody knew.

She was on her way to her third screwdriver when some couple of dudes started doing the chest bumping thing, and Monica and the meerkat within knew there was going to be shit in a minute. She took her drink with her and started sliding off the stool, but before she could get away, the first punches flew. "Oh, great." She said, taking steps back until she bumped into the pool table. It really was amazing how fast the fight spread, kind of like fire, and soon people Monica hadn't even notice had something to do with the starters were throwing punches of their own.


( You can also steal stuff. And still get drunk. )

( Little business, Little Pleasure )

Who: Dorcas, Elizabeth, Evan
Where: Dorcas's house.
When: Rather late.

Debating with ghosts about whether they deserved rights or not was draining. Of course the deserved rights. But Dorcas was positive that to give them such would lead to the downfall of society. There were too many laws and other policies to factor in...

So when she'd gotten home, she'd pretty much just tossed her things on her couch then trudged upstairs. The front door was once again left unlocked and really, she didn't want to be bothered by anyone. Especially not after the letter from her parents that she'd gotten in the mail. It was crumpled into a ball and was sitting on the side table by the door along with the shredded envelope. She still had things to do and much less time to do them in and the letter was weighing heavily on her mind. She should have just gone straight to bed. She had work and such tomorrow.

Instead she had disappeared into her office to practice on her upright piano. She had already gone through a couple of pieces and now she was working on "No One Knows Who I Am" from Jekyll & Hyde. At first she just played the intro a couple of times before swinging into the lyrics and quietly singing to herself. Oh yes, she was in a black mood.

Who: Aly and Connie
When: 4am
Where: Near the Post Office

It was still early and the Post Office wasn't open yet, but Aly had some things she needed to send out and wanted to make sure she didn't forget so she did it early. She was walking back to the hotel- deciding to leave the car and enjoy the night- when she heard some singing coming from behind her. Glancing back she noticed it was a young man, well maybe not young as she instantly noticed he didn't have a heartbeat. "Interesting song." She said, with a slightly furrowed brow. "Sounds familiar."

It had been just Connie's luck that Rebecca had her own CD-copy of Into the Woods with adjoining lyrics book, and he hadn't had to wait for daylight to pick one up from the local theater. As soon as he'd seen the sign, he knew he had to try out, just for the fun of it. He'd pick one of his own up, of course, but he was an impatient bastard sometimes, and at least with a words in hand and CD transferred to his ipod he could see which parts he might like best, to try out for.

"Agonyyyyyyyy, such that princes must weeeeeeep!" he sang jovially, his tail swinging around behind him in time with the beat, though he took care to not sing too loudly, since the town was largely asleep. At least he was in a commercial area rather than residential.

( Everyone should know Into the Woods. )

Who: Tayne, Vanessa, Torshael, Jeff and Jenna (NPCs)
Where: Jeff and Jenna's house
When: 6ish in the evening

As Tayne pulled up to his mother's house, Vanessa in the passenger side of the truck, he was really pretty nervous. Not to mention wishing, for perhaps the first time, that it was winter so it would be dark by now and he wouldn't be squinting behind his sunglasses. He parked, climbed out, landing lightly on his remarkably, fully-healed leg-- he owed Justin a hell of a lot of that, and for the charm that dulled his senses-- and locking the truck up once Vanessa was out.

"Time to face the fire," he muttered, still half-certain this was about him, somehow. He had too many secrets now to not worry. "Let's go, then," he told Vanessa, and started up the walk to the house.

Vanessa wrapped her arm around him and gave him a small hug once they got to the door. "Don't worry." She told him. "They'll love you no matter what- we'll love you..." She said before reaching up and knocking as she opened the door. "Ma? We're here..."

Torshael pulled up behind Tayne's truck, smiling as he caught sight of his brother and sister. He hopped out of the car, not bothering to lock it--who would steal a rust bucket like his old car--and hurried up the path behind them. "Hey, how's it going you two?" He hadn't been home in a while, and felt a little guilty for it. Torshael put it on his to do list to get home more often.

( Familial Revelations )

Who: Tayne and Justin
Where: Around the pond
When: Afternoon


( Angels and Kittens )

Who: Tayne and Johan
Where: Tayne's place
When: Midday-ish

At least Johan's message had left a time. Tayne sure as hell hoped the guy wasn't coming over looking for sex; he just wasn't in any shape for that today. While his leg was a hell of a lot better than it should be, it still hurt; his head ached from too much sound, his nose kept itching as if it were overwhelmed with all the scents, and everything seemed just a hair too bright. It helped to keep the curtains partly closed-- and wearing sunglasses outside was an absolute must.

Who: Aiden and Jules
When: Evening
Where: Their place
Warning: NSFW



Jules had decided that today was nap day. Sleeping, yes that was the most lovely thing in the whole universe. She'd taken a shower as soon as she got off work and then promptly found herself a pair of Aiden's pajama pants with a draw string in them and pulled them tight, then pulled on one of his shirts and hopped into bed with her snuggly covers and sprawled out in the center. Sleeping was wonderful. She knew she wouldn't be getting much of a nap, but hey, it was better than nothing, besides, Aiden would wake her up when he got home.

Who: Jovie and Torque
When: Mid-afternoon
Where: Weiss Auto Shop

With it being a slow day at the shop, Jovie didn't have any qualms about closing up around lunchtime and deciding to run a few errands. She had every intention of seeing Alex later that night, so she figured she ought to get things done beforehand. Which, unfortunately, included taking her car in for an oil change and tune up. She hated car maintenance, and felt like there should be some brand of magic out there that could have every car running smoothly and perfectly for years, without having to spend any of your time and money on taking it to greasy, smelly auto shops.

Still, until that magic was realized, she was stuck unless she wanted her car to break down on her. So she drove to Weiss Auto Shop and pulled up to the garage before getting out of the car to find one of those smelly greasemonkeys to help her.
