Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Raina and Rowena
Where: Raina's Home
When: Sometime past midnight

The still quite pleasantly tipsy Raina stumbled as she stepped into her house, after rather unsuccessfully attempting to unlock a door, the wrong way. She'd given it a few uncharacteristic mumbled curses as she finally managed to bypass it, making sure it knew good and well that she was glad to be rid of its nonsense when the door was finally able to open.

She hadn't forgotten her sister's car sitting in the driveway, the sight enough to have made her fingers cling to Isaiah's for a moment longer than she'd meant to, before she'd said goodnight.

"Ro?" It was only relatively recently that she'd fallen back on the old childhood nickname for her sister, and even then, apparently only when upset or nervous. Even through the alcohol's lingering effects, those that blunted her natural tendency to worry, it wasn't enough to stop all of worry's pull on her. There was no reason that Rowena would be at her house so late, not without good reason. And it was what the reason could be that had Raina calling for her sister again, before she'd even shut and locked the door behind her, "Ro?"

Who: Helene and Neil
What: Talking
Where: Helene's house
When: Evening

( And I don't understand all the things you've seen, but I'm slipping in between you and your big... dreams. It's always you and my big dreams )

Who: Gabe and everyone else that wants to be there!
Where: The lake
When: Late evening

Seeing as how it was halfway through the summer, any reason to have a party was a good one. There'd been nothing big since graduation and the camping trip, and within a few hours the small party at the lake became exponentially bigger. As he'd expected, a text message to a few friends about an open party spread like wildfire. Gabe was willing to bet there was about a hundred people or so, ranging from high school through college. And even though half that crowd wasn't legal to drink, there was no shortage of beer on the premises. Someone was running music from their car stereo, with a bass that had most likely been pimped to ten times it's original set up. There was dancing nearest the car, then people scattered around on blankets and in lawn chairs, drinking and playing games. This was just the kind of celebration that everyone seemed to need.

Who: Kristen and Missy
Where: The park
When: Evening

( Even if you don't. )

Who: Rowena and Caius (NPC)
When: Night
Where: Noah's home


Rowena hadn't expected her life to change as much as it had in the brief month that Noah had been in it. She also hadn't expected that it would so abruptly end. Of course life had ways of turning and switching, throwing a curve ball in when you least expected it. Noah's admission to her was one such curve ball. She thought she might be with him forever. Thought that perhaps the love she'd fallen into so fast would be right, but she couldn't have been more wrong. He said it had nothing to do with her, said that it was his own fault, that there were parts of his past that he could no longer hide from. Bits and pieces of himself that he'd neglected to mention to her.

Who: Madock and Clarissa
When: Night
Where: Gabe's party


Madock, feeling more than awesome about the way the day had panned out. Letting Jessa go off for a bit to hang out with her friends - though he didn't wander too far at all from the girl, at least not far enough that he couldn't still smell the scent of her hair - Madock reached for his phone and texted out a short message to his sister.

Where you be, Issa? :P

Okay, so he was feeling good enough to be dorky. That had to be a good sign, right? Things were finally looking up for Madock and the grin on his face said as much. Now if Clarissa would just text him back so he could thank her for whatever part she'd had in his making up with Gabe.

( love you, kay? )

Who: Gabe and Madock
Where: Madock's place
When: Afternoon

Pulling up in front of Madock's house, Gabe sat in the car with a frown. When Madock had moved out of his guest room, Gabe had assumed it had been to somewhere of equal comfort. He hadn't asked, of course, but that was more due to the fact that they had hardly been speaking at the time. Now he wished he'd pressed further. If he'd known that Madock would end up in a shack on the packlands, maybe he would have pulled his act together sooner. Gabe didn't know, but he hoped he could right that wrong now. Taking a deep breath, he climbed out of the car, walked up to the door and knocked. With hearing as good as his was now, Gabe knew someone was home.

Madock's hearing was similar if not completely the same as Gabe's was now. He heard the car, the shutting of the door and the footsteps as Gabe made his way up the steps to the house. When he knocked, Madock gave it a couple of seconds before pulling the door open. It was weird to see Gabe after everything that had happened between them, but despite the hurt that had been there for himself, he understood why his friend had been so unhappy. At least now he did. He just wished he could have thought clearer at the time. "Hey." he said, stepping aside to let Gabe into the house. It definitely wasn't anything like the Ritz, nor did it hold a candle to Gabe's house. On more than one occasion, he wished he'd just stuck it out and kept his butt at in Gabe's guest room or even at his parents. But like a lot of things, thinking came too late and there wasn't much he could do about it now.

( thanks for the vote of confidence, asshole )

Who: Marlowe and Lucius
Where: Their new house
When: Late afternoon

After having spend most of the day driving Marlowe sighed with relief when she was finally pulling the Impala up behind Lucius in his 69 Charger. "Looks like we're finally here." Marlowe commented ever so casually to the Shepherd sitting on the passenger's's seat who had driven with her most of the way from Nashville. Easing open the driver's side door Marlowe climbed out and took a step to the side to allow Roarke the space to bound out of the vehicle. The dog not waiting to be leashed as he immediately made a line for the car parked in front of the Impala.

Who: Bartleby and Saundra
Where: Bartleby's house
When: Evening

Saundra was all sorts giddy to finally see Bartleby again. Coffee the other day with him was pleasant and all, but having barbecue with him was going to be even better. She didn't entirely peg him to be the cooking type, but then again she didn't take him to be the mortician type either. Yeah, Linnea was right - is was odd. Though Saundra didn't care. It was a date after all, and she wasn't going to turn him down for that.

Rolling on up to his house, Saundra double checked herself in her side mirror, still wearing the same outfit she had worn when meeting up with Linnea, except this time she kept her hair pulled back in a low ponytail. Very casual. Hopefully Bart didn't mind. After grabbing a platter of cheese and crackers from the back of her car, she headed on over to the front door and ran the doorbell, flinching at the sharp sound ringing through her ears. Would have been better to knock, but after busting down a door at the hospital several days ago, Saundra was going to lay low on the knocking for awhile. woman didn't know how to control her strength at times.

( After all, a good knee to the groin would easily ruin <i>his</i> night and she could still continue on her merry way. )

Who: Trip and Haylee
When: Just before dark
Where: Trip's car, Gabe's party


Haylee was nervous. Completely and utterly nervous. Her outfit had taken forever to work out. She wasn't sure what he'd like and what he wouldn't, what would be too much and what would not be enough. In the end she'd finally settled on something that she could cover up with the black hoodie she brought along with her. She was waiting outside her house on the front porch swing when Trip's SUV pulled in the driveway and she let out a little breath, getting up from the swing and making the slow walk to the vehicle. He's here... god I hope I don't look like a total goof... god...
