Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Johan and Tayne
Where: Phone, then the hospital
When: Morning

Johan was still in that numb feeling of denial when he got the phone, his mind not allowing him to think about how hurt he was, or what this meant for him financially. He called his parents to wire some money and give him insurance information, and then called Tayne. Tayne seemed the natural choice- after all, the hunter was his kinda boyfriend (with an emphasis on kinda).

The phone rang a few times, and Johan was honestly too drugged up to notice if it was an answering machine. "Hey Tayne, it's Johan. I'm in the hospital right now, and I need someone to get into my flat and bring back some fresh clothes and the small green rolodex from the paino," he said before assuring Tayne he was fine, and just needed to cancel a gig or too. But Tayne would know the second he saw Johan that he'd lied- but what did that matter? The moment he got home he'd just drink until he couldn't stop himself from chocking on his own vomit.

( And potential revenge. )

Who: Cedric and a newborn
Where: the hospital
When: early evening
What: TLC

( He would always be a member of the coven dedicated to his goddess. No exile could change that. )

Who: Elizabeth, Dorcas and Evan
When: Evening
Where: Dorcas's house

( I'm sorry, so sorry )

Who: Blake, Jackson, Parker, Amelia (NPC), random cops (also NPCS)
Where: The Lowell House
When: Thursday evening

( Things fall apart. Quickly. )

Who: Brady & Hannah
Where: The Inn and Hannah's location
When: A bit before 4

( Ring ring... )

Who: Aiden and Jules
When: Around noon
Where: Random restaurant? lol.

Waiting sucked. Jules was certain that waiting was the worst possible thing in the universe. The doctor visit had cleared up the fact that she hadn't hurt the possible baby with her birth control pills, but it didn't confirm whether she was pregnant or not. And they had to take blood from her which made her queasy. And now she was certain that Aiden was just taking her out to lunch to make sure she ate correctly for the baby she wasn't even positive she was pregnant with. Sitting down at the table, Jules looked up at Aiden. "Are you sure you're not going to get fired for not being at work?" she questioned.

( the crazy takes over )

Who: Hayden and Christian
When: Afternoon
Where: The river

Hayden didn't exactly call Christian before she decided to come over and see him. She knew he would probably be home anyway, and she wanted to surprise him anyway. It was a nice day outside, and she didn't want to spend it cooped up in the house. More than that, she didn't want Christian spending it cooped up either. He needed to get out and enjoy the summer, not hide from it. Dressed in a summer dress and sandals with her hair pulled up, Hayden parked in his driveway and bounded up the steps to his door. She knocked several times, eager to get on the road and have some fun.

( water's not so bad. )

Who: Day and Kora
Where: Sunny's Diner
When: 5:30ish

( Meat and Veggies )

Who: Colin and Wally
Where: Heme's parking lot, then Anywhere But Here
When: 11pm ish

Colin needed a drink. He really needed alcohol, a really dark, quiet bar where nobody looked at each other unless it was to order another beer or go play pool. A real bar.

But since he was a vampire and could only drink blood and there was just one vampire bar in town...yeah. He was standing in front of Heme with a pained expression, staring at the flashing sign and the pretty people and fuck, was that a hearse parked out front?

"I cannot do this," he muttered, scrubbing his hands down his face. God, he sucked at being a vampire. Just really sucked at it.

Who: Zero and Dom
When: 10pm
Where: His house
WARNING: NSFW - sexings and disembodied body parts.

The black car pulled up in the driveway and the lights died as the engine did. Zero was late. Well, not really. He hadn't told Dom a specific time he would be back but he felt like he was late. And he was tired though he'd caught a meal on the way home. The black gift bag he carried to the door was heavy with its contents. He hit the code in the electronic box next to the door and a key popped out as he couldn't reach his own at the moment. Unlocking the door and putting the key back in the lock box (which reset itself) he went in, calling out, "Dom? You about?"

Shutting the door behind him and flicking on the hall lights, he looked around and hoping for a glimpse of her blonde hair and lovely pale skin ducking around a corner.

Who: Aiden, Harrison and Jules
When: Morning
Where: The clinic

Jules was sitting on the little exam table, patiently waiting for the doctor to come in. She was nervous. Afraid was really more like it. She wondered if her taking birth control had harmed the baby she was already fairly certain she was carrying. Today she'd find out for sure. Now if the doctor would just hurry up. She looked up at Aiden who was still standing by her side. Reaching out, she took his hand. "Thanks for coming with me." she told him. She knew he hadn't had to come with her, but it made her feel better that he had.

Who: Tayne and Justin
Where: Phones, then Justin's house
When: 7:30PMish

And now was the moment of truth. Whether Tayne could handle going out with a guy he found attractive and adorable and marvelous-- when he technically was sleeping with someone else-- or not. He plugged in Justin's phone number, and waited for him to pick up.

And waited.

And waited some more.

And then voice mail picked up. What the hell?

( Well, not in the form expected, anyway. )

Who: Keagan & Nastasiya
Where: Cherryblossom Place
When: A little after 9 PM

( Sometimes it's just a world of fears... )

Who: Colin and Connie
Where: Park near Cara's place
When: 9pmish

Colin wasn't inviting another vampire into his and Cara's. No matter how nice the other vampire was supposed to be. He didn't trust any vampire. And Cara didn't need another guy without a pulse hanging around. Part of the reason he wanted to introduce her to Becky was so she knew more people who actually breathed and stuff.

Becky. That'd gone okay.

He raked his fingers through his hair, wondering for a second how he'd know this guy. Granted, there weren't many people in the park, since it was after dark. He checked his watch, then fidgeted again.

This was such a bad idea.

Who: Bunny, open to those there (one or all!)
When: Mid-afternoon
Where: St. Mary's Hospital in Saginaw

In the movies, after the hero was knocked out by some means, they always showed him (or her) coming awake very gradually, with little to no awareness of what had happened. Everything faded in very slowly, one sense at a time.

That wasn't how it happened with Bunny.

She was awake all at once, without immediately realizing that she'd blacked out at all. She went to a full flail, ready to fight and yank the dart out of her damn forehead. "DO NOT WANT!" But when she went to yank it out, she realized it wasn't there anymore. She raised her eyes to try and see, going cross-eyed in the process, but nothing was there. And the small matter that she was in what appeared to be a hospital room filtered in. And she was in a hospital gown. ( Whoops. )

Who: Becky and Colin
Where: Becky's House
When: 7pm- ish

Colin had given Becky a quick call to let her know he was coming over. No more scaring her half to death lurking around her place. He could have asked her over the phone, but that just seemed too casual for having completely disappeared from her life and letting her down for over a year.

Yeah, he might be being too hard on himself about that.

Knocking softly, Colin cringed at the sun which was slowly sinking towards the horizon. It was only a few hours to sunset and he'd brought a bottle of blood with him, just in case. But he could feel the effects it was having on him.

He felt sick and tired, and probably looked it. He wondered if it was just another facet of his crappy curse or just lack of experience with being out in daylight that made it so hard for him.

Didn't really matter, he'd be inside soon, which would help a lot.

Who: Will, Ben and OPEN
What: BALL! Wherezaball?!
Where: Dog Park
When: Thursday June 11, Afternoon

Will had a new ball, and even in human form he liked tennis balls. After flipping it around, it was a mutual decision between the cousins that the dog park sounded like a great idea. Stripping and shifting was easy now, quick and painless when it was by choice.

Fun, even.

In dog form, his new tennis ball happily clutched in his mouth, tongue lolling, Will wagged his tail and hopped a little in place. Waiting for his cousin to be ready.

Who: Quentin James and Lia Atherton
Where: The bookstore
When: Evening-ish


(  'This one's a rip off Swamp Thing. Another claims that Dracula was just a lonely, misunderstood vampire. And this,' he held up a slim book, the cover splattered in cartoon blood, 'is a book filled with haikus about zombies. Can't make this stuff up.'  )

Who: Bailey and Amelie
What: Fighting
When: Thursday June 11, 10 pm

( There will be no dancing, there will be no wedding, we threw it all away, we threw it all away. )

Who: Isolde & Connie
Where: Phoneland, Streets, Work
When: Beginning at Oh God Why Am I Up O'Clock (V. Early)

Isolde had promised to call Connie so she could accompany him to work. So she had made sure to go to bed 'early' and wake up just as early. She didn't have anything against going out in the daylight so it wasn't much of an issue for her. Still in bed, she reached out through the curtains enclosing her and grabbed the handset for her phone. Dialing Connie's number, she waited, smiling to herself and twisting a finger in her hair.

Connie generally wasn't up this early, not unless he just hadn't gone to sleep yet. He was, in fact, actually just getting to sleep, after his pre-dawn chat with Jezebelle. The phone woke him with a start and he blinked blearily at it. It took him two swipes to reach it and grab it and then turning it on was a little hassle. "H'lo?" he slurred into it.

( That leads to more sleeping! )
