Light of May ::: an original roleplay

...for the solo when Alanna wakes up >.

Who: Alanna and Bubbles
Where: Park playground
When: After school
Warning: Bits of violence

( 'I don't run from animals.' )

Who: Locke, Cole, and Bunny
When: 4ish
Where: Cole’s house

Bunny was trying to be a good fake girlfriend. She had decided a good way to do this would be to visit Cole after school since he hadn’t been in school that day, and bring him a present. And also bring him the friend she was now certain he was secretly gay for. Wasn’t that nice? Locke had almost put a wrench in her plans with his little admission earlier, but he had agreed to it. Bunny really couldn’t blame Cole for not liking Angeline. She sure didn’t like Angeline, not that she had told Locke that. She’d certainly considered it though.

As she and Locke walked up the Landers driveway together, Bunny slipped her totally kick-ass Gizmo backpack off her shoulders, and began routing around inside for her gift to Cole. "I'm glad you decided to come," she told Locke. "We haven't all seen as much this summer as I would have liked. I'm sorry that I kind of... sucked, for half of it. I know you've been through hell lately. Forgive me?" She looked up at him with a hopeful smile. Faking it was getting easier every day.

Who: Jackson and Gretel / the Wolf and the Witch
When: Night, late.
Where: The local woods, off the beaten path.

The less a man carries in his pack, Gretel thought, the more he must carry in his head. She'd always been fond of the saying in relation to camp cookery despite being the sort of personage who was very careful to arrange her life so as to avoid the necessity of boiling her breakfast outdoors. Of course, that didn't mean she had to ignore her fondness for moose ragout or a well-seared muskrat...

Focus, witch. Good grief, but how this teenage mind liked to wander. It was amazing that anybody under the age of twenty ever managed to keep their thoughts together long enough to tie their shoelaces. The sarcastic little thought was an unpleasant reminder of how long it'd take Gretel's present form to reach the meager age of twenty; she stamped down her disgust and turned back to her preparations.

( A camper was known by her fire, and Gretel had no intentions of messing up the basics. )

Who: Kiley and Mason
Where: Kiley's house --> Drive in
When: Evening


( The rest is still unwritten. )

Who: Daniel and Kajsa
Where: Grocery store
When: Late afternoon

( Hiding in plain sight, acting like nothing is wrong. )

Who: Sasha and Jackson
Where: The park
When: Afternoon
What: Taking a much needed rest

Her due date was tomorrow. Her baby could arrive at any moment and she was trying not to freak out about everything. Part of her thought she should stay close to home just in case, but she had walked those streets entirely too much in the last few days. She needed to get out and she needed to go some place where there were people. Sasha ended up at the grocery store, purchasing some grapes and a large bottle of water. Maybe the water wasn't the best idea since her pup was pushing on her bladder, but she didn't care. She knew she would need it the way the weather had been.

The were heard some people talking about the bombing and them finding more bodies and it made her shudder to think that people were hurt like that. She was grateful that she wasn't the sort to go to marches and the like. It was easier for her to stay out of the way and she hated to think she might have lost her life or worse, her child's life in the process. Quietly, she munched on the grapes as she made her way to the park and to her favorite tree. She liked to sit on the bench beneath it and sing softly to her baby, the songs she remembered her mother singing to her when she was little.

But her bench was occupied. As she got closer, she realized it was another were. Just her luck. She seemed to be meeting them in spades. This one seemed calm enough and he was canine, which could work in her favor. For a brief moment, she worried he might have been sent by Piotr but she told herself she was just being paranoid. She managed to settle herself down on the bench after deciding that she didn't care who was sitting there, she needed to sit too. She opened her bag of grapes more, enjoying the sweetness of the little green fruits as she sighed softly, suddenly glad to be off her feet. After a long moment, she turned and held out the bag. "Would you like one?" she asked, accent lilting around the words.

Who: Satu and Selena
When: Late afternoon
Where: Ann Arbor Hospital

( 'What's this sandwich look like to you?' )

Who: Liliya and Naoki
Where: UofM hospital --> Home
When: Mid-afternoon

( So sacrifice yourself & let me have what's left. )

Who: Holly and Zeke
When: Mid-morning
Where: Her couch, it's not like she can really go anywhere else

Holly was exhausted. It was amazing how exhausting not moving could be to someone who wasn't used to sitting around, not to mention that she had not stopped performing healing spells on herself and Zeke since the bombing - and that exhausted her too. A day or so ago, while browsing the web, (which was the activity Holly spent more time doing now that having both legs broken stopped her from doing anything else that fun), she had come across an article about vampire blood and its properties. It was on a barely known witches' website she frequented often, and it made all sorts of warnings about how dealing with the stuff was probably illegal. Of course in her situation, Holly couldn't really care less. She had a father with a heart condition who needed to be pushed and prodded - literally - to do some exercise, and being an active young woman, both broken legs just did not sit well with her. Hell, at this point sitting did not sit well with her.

She was perusing that part of the website on her laptop again. It was ideal. Just a few hours at most and she would be like new, which was something her own magic couldn't achieve yet. "Zeke!" She finally called, because she had no idea how to even get the stuff, and for that she would need help. It also crossed Holly's mind that telling Zeke she was thinking of going off her mind on illegal drugs for a miraculous cure might be a good idea. "Zeeeeke!" she tried again. "I need to talk to you!" He was probably succumbing to the charms of all her pets, or something to that effect. Then again she couldn't really complain when he hadn't been that far away from her since the accident. It actually warmed her heart, he was so sweet.

Who: Echo & Marius
Where: Many Paths
When: Early afternoon

She was out of… stuff.

That was about as accurate and as concrete as Echo’s assessment of her supplies was going to get just then. Her habit of living out of her cases for the past six months (or, really, case singular – the other had been stolen on the way out of the airport because it looked nicer than hers) meant she didn’t carry ingredients around with her because of that one time she nearly got arrested for it. Apparently certain items became illegal when you moved states. Instead she carried limited supplies of pre-prepared spellwork, invariably on her person because she trusted others with her luggage about as much as others should trust her with theirs. The spell book itself was currently stashed inside her mattress because that was the first place she thought to put it while she was hauling everything around. Not that she knew why she bothered hiding it nowadays. People who broke into her home tended to get knifed before they had the chance to make off with a history’s worth of magic. Wasn’t Echo’s fault she always bled them before she thought to curse them. You couldn’t expect a girl to go against her very nature.
