Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Chris Brammell
When: 2009-06-17, Morning
Where: His Apartment


( How was he supposed to enjoy his life if all he did was sleep through it? )

Who: Jessalyn and Madock
When: Late afternoon
Where: The pond
NSFW

Madock would have went over to Jessalyn's house, but he doubted that would have been a good idea, so he called her up and asked her to meet him at the lake. There was less of a chance of her brother or anyone else kicking his ass for what he'd asked of her. He didn't tell her that they'd found Claire, he wasn't sure if she knew or not. He simply asked her to meet him and went out to the lake, parking his car and heading towards the dock, taking off his shoes and socks and letting his feet dangle off the edge. The bracelet came off too and he tucked it into his pocket, letting the sights, sounds and smells take over. He heard Jessalyn long before she got there. "Hey." he said softly, glancing over his shoulder at her. "Thanks for coming."

( it doesn't matter now )

Who: Claire and Gabe
Where: The hospital
When: Late afternoon

As soon as Gabe got word that the kidnapped kids had been found, he was in his car and heading to the hospital. He was frustrated to learn that they'd been there all morning, but that only family had been notified. He considered Claire to be family now and was annoyed that no one had called him specifically. That didn't necessarily matter now, as he'd found out eventually, and wasn't going to let anyone stop him from visiting. There'd been no word on the condition of the kidnapped teens, which was mildly concerning. Gabe knew he'd have to see for himself to find any sense of calm.

The parking lot was a mad house, filled with reporters hoping to gain information on the patients inside. Gabe pushed through them, hopping on an elevator without any real sense of where he was going. He could follow by scent, at least to a point, at which he had to stop and ask where Claire was located. He wasn't in a mood to play twenty questions with the nurse, and was relieved to find he'd made some kind of visitor's list. Finally given Claire's room number, it was difficult not to run. He didn't even knock. "Claire," Gabe breathed as he caught sight of her finally. She was alive. He'd known all along, but it was better to see her for himself.

Who: Claire and Madock
When: Afternoon
Where: The hospital

After the ambulances took Claire and the others to the hospital, it was hard to keep up with everything that was happening. Questions, questions and more questions. Police officers wanted to talk, doctors were trying to get information, and random people Claire didn't even know were trying to join the mix. She was admitted shortly after arriving and the minute she hit the soft hospital bed, her eyes shut and she drifted off. Sleep hadn't come easily to her over the past few days. It was hard to relax enough to drift away when you were shackled to a wall in someone's basement. But now she was safe and comfortable, even if she had tubes and people poking at her. She would take this over her recent experience any day of the week.

( god I missed you )

Who: Adelle and Luke
Where: Outside of the condos at Cherryblossom Place/Somewhere for snake
When: 5PM


Adelle had finally finished cleaning up her condo, getting everything in order, making sure everything was spotless before she decided it was a decent time to get ready for her date. She showered and did her makeup, making sure she didn't apply too much. Since the sun was still out, she figured she wouldn't attempt to go out in something too revealing so that they could be comfortable wandering around.

( Now what was in her closet? )

Who: Evan and Alejandro
When: 9:30 PM and on
Where: Anywhere but here


Evan decided that tonight was one of those nights where he'd let off some steam. Not that he really had much to let off seeing as life was pretty damn good currently, but nevertheless, he still ended up at a bar. Parking outside, he made his way to the counter and plopped himself down on a stool, waiting for the bartender to come over before looking at him and giving him a smile. "I want whatever you got that'll get me wasted after just a couple orders of it." Yes, Evan, goofy Evan, was here on a mission.

Who: Cara and Colin
When: Late afternoon
Where: Cara and Colin's place
Warnings: None as of yet

Colin had slept like crap all day. Worse than usual. In the last two days, he'd managed to piss off or hurt almost everyone who gave a damn about him. Unintentionally even. Which just made it worse.

He generally got up around the same time Cara did, so that he could spend some time with her before work. Hopefully, today wouldn't be a repeat of their date that he'd ruined by being depressed. He had a bottle of blood while he whipped her up some pancakes. Yeah, it way almost dinner time, but for Cara it was breakfast. She was as nocturnal as all the dead people in her life, after all.

Who: Krist and Tayne
Where: The house and around the house
When: When Tayne gets home from work

Krist had taken a different approach to being alone by the time the next day had rolled around, and, after sleeping in until around noon, he'd climbed off of the couch to begin his day. He'd showered happily, enjoying the warmth of the water and glad to have been introduced to it. It was relaxing, and helped him to wake up better. Once his shower had been finished, Krist had grabbed the rest of the lettuce in the fridge and headed outside to explore the outdoor areas of Tayne's property. It wasn't huge by any means, but it was still nice... and it was good to be outside. He'd been feeling a little cooped up, which was his own fault for having stayed in the day before. As Krist wandered through the grass he worked on the lettuce he'd brought with him, glancing up through the trees and feeling more at home out here already. The rest of the day was spent much in this manner, trying to refrain from shifting forms as he wasn't sure how safe he was here. After the negative experience with Tayne's phone, the last thing Krist wanted was to have more to deal with.

When Tayne got home from work, there was no sign of the horse-were-- and his smell, when Tayne took off his sense-blocking charm, was oldish. So, as he'd planned on doing from the start should the guy wander off, he went and dialed his cell phone. He just hoped Krist still had it in his pocket, or something, or else finding him would be a bit harder to manage. Still, Scarlet Oak wasn't that big....

( What does being bitten have to do with it? )

Who: Pavel and Sky
When: Afternoon
Where: The Mall

( Now for the really tough life decisions... Pizza, Chinese or Hot Dog on a Stick? )

Who: Psalm and Bunny
When: Late afternoon
Where: Bunny's house

When Bunny got the news, she had broken down. Utterly lost it, falling to the floor in hysterical, happy tears. She forgot about her mom on the phone, she forgot about the horrible week she'd had, she forgot about the giant douchebag chained to a column in her basement, and she let everything out. "Thank you, thank you, thank you..." she said the words over and over again between her cries, though she didn't know who she was saying it to. She'd never been a particularly religious person, but if there was a God, perhaps this was the time to thank Him.

Once she finally pulled it together, she hung up the phone (her mom had called her from work to tell her the good news), and got up to run to the door. She had every intention of running all the way to the hospital in Ann Arbor. She was halfway out the door when she did remember the giant douche. Chained to a column. In her basement.

Oh, thank God! She could let him out! She could get rid of him! He would run to Myra, and he wouldn't be her problem anymore! Though honestly, by this point she had no idea what Myra saw in him, and she felt a little bad unleashing his company on a kidnap victim. That was neither here nor there. She'd kept him down there so he couldn't hurt anyone, and now he wouldn't want to hurt anyone - except Bunny herself, probably. And she was not scared of Psalm The Douche Everest.

( Thank you for choosing Casa de Bunny, we hope you've enjoyed your stay. STFU and GTFO. )

Who: Psalm and Myra
When: Wednesday June 17, 2009 late evening
Where: U of M Hospital

( It's a mystery )

Who: Charlotte and Lily
When: Evening
Where: Hospital!
( thinger )

Who: Torque
When: Late Night
Where: His Apartment


His hands were steady, they never shook. Not on the grip of a gun, not on the multi-colored wires of an explosive, and definitely not on the firm and bare flesh of a woman’s body. They shook now, only slightly, and only for a second, but they shook all the same. The envelope rustled in the tiny shake of paper, the Marine Corps emblem gleamed darkly on the uppermost corner of one side, the mark heavy enough it was nearly physical.

( My gods a little sick, And he wants me crazy )

Who: Annabelle and Morgan
Where: Annabelle and Oliver's house
When: Wednesday, dinner time

( It's her favorite for a reason. Yeah, Morgan knows how to play it safe. )

Who: Annabelle and Jackson
Where: Their places, or at least Jackson's place and wherever Annabelle is...
When: Wednesday Evening

( Oftentimes, your own worst enemy is yourself... )

Who: Ezra and Elizabeth
Where: The shop, then Ezra's house
When: Mid-afternoon

His morning hunting behind him, as well as the call from Danny and the one appointment he had that afternoon, Ezra decided he had made Elizabeth wonder about her surprise long enough. Provided Dorcas had told her about it, that was. If she hadn't... well, she really would be surprised, wouldn't she?

He parked his car out in front of the antiques shop and wandered inside, his clothes down to a simple button-down and slacks today. It was hot. He'd be glad to be a ghost, on a day like today, and oblivious to the weather.

Who: Tayne and Johan
Where: Phoneland
When: Around 4ish in the afternoon

It had been a long day, and it was only going to get longer in the last two hours of work, but instead of pausing to eat something or even take a nap, Tayne had again begged Annie for a few minutes alone in her office to make a phone call.

He sat at her desk and nervously twisted the phone cord around while he waited for Johan to pick up. God, he hoped the guy didn't hate him.

( Can I treat you to dinner? )

Who: Nic and Saoirse
When: Evening
Where: Heme

Saoirse had been mentally restless ever since seeing Graham. The night (or rather, morning) she'd been planning on meeting him she'd been given orders by her boss to make a run up north for blood, and she had no way of knowing where he was now. And did she even want to see him again? Realistically speaking, wasn't it better for all involved if he just forgot he'd ever run into her in the first place?

She kept going back and forth on the issue of Graham, and everything that entailed. She kept struggling with whether or not she should try to track him down, and every time she decided against the idea she found herself waiting to see if he'd come back to Heme. To see her. And as soon as she caught herself wondering such a thing she'd become furious with herself for being so silly. Thus, mentally restless.

Other employees at the bar had taken to giving her her space, and she wasn't sure whether or not to be glad for it. It being a weekday, she was the only bartender on shift, and she had more than enough time to be left alone with her thoughts. Frankly, she was pretty damn sick of her thoughts. She stood behind the bar with her arms crossed, staring a hole into the bar top, wishing for her brain to just turn off for a while.
