Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Juliette and Bryce
Where: SOHS, near the locker rooms
When: after school

( He stopped short just in time to see a pretty brunette walking towards the girl’s locker room. )

Who: August and Nicci
When: Very late evening
Where: Anywhere But Here

( He very rarely resented his were status, but tonight he hated the fact that he couldn’t easily become blind drunk )

Who: Arden & Ice
Where: Coffee shop
When: Early Afternoon

( It was cold. )

WHO: Maddie & Lex
WHAT: Uh. Oh.
WHERE: Heme
WHEN: Night

There were bad ideas and Bad Ideas. Going to Heme alone was a bad idea, but going alone without telling anyone where she was going escalated that into Bad Idea. Fully knowing that Santiago would have had a loud and angry lecture prepared for her if she told him she was going to Heme again, Maddie had decided to simply...avoid the telling bit entirely. And ever since her brief stint as an earth elemental, they'd actually been learning to get along better. She hated to ruin it all again with something the llama would say that would piss her off and have her saying things that would cause another fight between her and Santiago. After work, instead of going home and/or checking in, she instead dabbed on a fresh coat of lipstick and headed over to Heme.

( These wounds won't seem to heal. )

WHO: Gabriel & Livia
WHERE: Heme
WHEN: Late evening

Perhaps a bar was not the typical first stop for a person just arriving into town. Or perhaps it was. One supposes it all depends on your priorities in life. For Gabriel, he'd had a little nip of some live blood a day or two ago (how is anyone supposed to keep time when traveling, really?) and needed a little more to keep himself going. He'd taken the train from New Orleans as far as it would take him and then there was a bus. He was in the city his searching had led him to, and while he wasn't excited for his grandson to see him, he wasn't unhappy about it either. Gabriel was in no hurry to get staked or beheaded (whatever hunters did nowadays) so he was planning to keep his distance. For a while, at least. Time being, Gabriel had no plans as far as where he was going to live or what he was going to do, but a bar with drunk humans sounded like a lovely meal. He'd heard of Heme and it seemed like the perfect place to taste test for an air elemental or a psychic, at the very least.

( Bottles up; let's go round two. )

Who: Vinny, and open to everyone else!
When: Afternoon, after school lets out.
Where: Scarlet Oak Community Park.

Walks in the park should be a nice, pleasant, relaxing way to unwind. They should be, you know, a walk in the park. Especially for Vinny, who'd been the best hiker and woodsman in his Boy Scout troop as a kid, immune to poison ivy, holder of every orienteering badge in existence, incapable of getting lost. He hadn't even known what an earth elemental was, but he'd known he loved nature trails and pretty grassy areas and any place with anything green.

He should still be able to enjoy that, but it's just that there's this one flower bed that just doesn't get taken care of the way it should, and it feels like it's crying out for help every time he walks past it, and...he just can't leave it be. Those poor pansies.

He gives in and kneels down beside the mulch, heedless of whether he gets his work clothes dirty. Mud always washes out. Quincy, pleased with him, sticks his wide pink nose out of Vinny's pocket and noses approvingly at his hand, before taking the opportunity to slip out and burrow into the dirt for a snack.

Reaching out towards one mangy-looking flower in particular, Vinny brushes its leaves tenderly with his fingers, trying to perk it up. "C'mon. There you go."

Who: Kendal & Lorenzo
Where: Hathaway Mansion
When: Afternoon

( She'd find somewhere to go, someone to do -- the balance would be restored. A-fucking-men. )

WHO: Erika & Ben
WHERE: Lenore's
WHEN: After school/work

The Mudhouse was closer to Seeds of Beauty, but Lenore's was closer to the elementary school and Erika had been feeling rather gracious when it came to choosing a meeting place. Ben, of course, was a thing of her past (and he'd even been seeing someone of late, she was told, even if it didn't exactly work out) but it didn't change the fact that she'd dressed a little more carefully for work today. A fairly silky floral top was not her usual work attire, but she'd decided she wasn't going to be rushing into the greenhouse today. With that, she still looked fairly immaculate at the end of the day, though that didn't stop her from running upstairs and doing her hair and dashing on some lipstick. Of course, when Petunia heard her thoughts about meeting Ben, the goat was impossible to shake. Petunia, as Erika had come to understand, fancied the were-pommy quite a bit. Which was odd, but it was far from the oddest thing that Erika had ever had to put up with as far as Petunia went. She just seemed to be an unusual sort of animal/familiar as those went. At any rate, she let the goat into the back seat of her Prius and drove towards Lenore's to meet Ben.

( 'HEY BEN,' came the overly enthusiastic mental greeting. )

WHEN | Early afternoon

( Loving Linnea went deeper than any worry or concern that he had over the paternity of her unborn child. )

( Sam had never gone to school, he wasn’t entirely sure what a school book looked like and what made it so different from other books but he had come to realise that those ones tended to carry heavier scents than the others. )
