Done. Just done.

WHO: Allegra & Willow
WHEN: Morning
WHERE: Allegra's home

Allegra hadn't even bothered with opening the store today. The world was off and she wasn't about to put any energy out into the world and expect anything good back. Nope. She was staying home and advising both her children to do the same. The house was warded and Allegra had spent most of the morning double-checking that all of them were still in place. Her house was possibly one of the safest places in town right about now. It certainly wasn't the high school, which was the source of all this negative energy floating about. Allegra was sure the world didn't like this one bit and was worrying about what the balancing would turn out to be. Because the world would have to balance itself out at some point.

Hopefully, it would be soon. Because the situation with the children was worrying Allegra. And Moll, for that matter. The kettle whistling interrupted Allegra's thoughts for a moment. "Did you want tea, hon?" she asked her daughter as she moved the kettle off the stove. One of Willow's friends had a daughter and a girlfriend (although Allegra was still fuzzy on that end) that was stuck in the high school. All yesterday, people had wanted some sort of magical fix to the issue. Unfortunately, Allegra was certain that much stronger black and blood witches had tried to fix the problem. Allegra was a grey witch and bound by certain rules. Nobody seemed to understand and respect that. People had also been trying to force Willow to read something about their children and loved ones. The hysteria had been understandable but extremely unwelcome. Allegra was not dealing with anymore of that. Not today.

Mommy knows best

WHO: Blair & Orion
WHERE: Supermarket
WHEN: Late afternoon

Blair didn't watch the news. The fact that there was a crisis at the school was lost on Blair. She'd heard about it from Fiona but Blair hadn't really thought any more about it than that. Men took care of such things. Women kept the rest of the world running while men fixed its problems. She'd simply sort of left the house a little after lunch. Blair had done it somewhat subversively, as if she would get in trouble for it. Fact was, Fiona had not really expected Blair to just hang around the house for her whole visit. Blair thought otherwise. After all, how could she fix her sister's marriage if she didn't watch the whole time? Although with Bruce gone, she didn't have much opportunity to observe and counsel.

Although Mommy doesn't know much. )

I'm not nervous, no not at all

Who: Odin and Bella (possibly an appearance by Flora the familiar)
When: 6:30ish
Where: Bella's house

Bella was kind of freaking out. She'd got her dad out of the house for a couple hours and dragged a promise out of Flora that she'd be on her best behavior outside after threatening to put her in one of the bird cages, but still? Absolutely freaked out. And riddled with guilt. She felt very much as if she should have been down at the school lending support to those who had loved ones inside, but... Odin. Was coming to her house. She'd meant to cancel, really she had, but she just couldn't force herself to do it.

After pacing her room for the millionth time, she began frantically texting Jo. She was just starting to really freak out when Flora's voice chimed he's here! in her head. Then everything, heart included, stopped dead. Crap, Bella thought. She looked down at her outfit, suddenly terrified that she was overdressed. Too late to change now. She ran for the stairs.

[info]diary_of_jane

Who: Jane and Will
Where: Across the school grounds, where else?
When: Mid-morning

Days had gone by in which Jane had been able to hold herself back from the high school despite her curiosity being at an all time high. However, the ending of that force of will coincided with the ending of other people's good will, apparently, and as Jane saw on the news that people were now charging family members just to stand around on their property the little hot-head decided she might just have a mighty need to satisfy her own curiosity and give some nice folks a piece of her mind. For all her wondering whether or not to actually attempt to touch the so-called 'force-field' enveloping the school, as soon as she arrived Jane realized the barricades had effectively put that idea to rest. Now she was just standing there like everybody else.

This was not the first time her magic and training felt useless to her lately, and it probably wouldn't be the last. Right now Jane had no use for protective magic - there was no one to protect - or the defensive kind - there was no one to defend against. What she could do, what little it was, was ask around if any of the families needed anything such as food or drink. It at least felt good to help out.

i know i'm not the only one waiting among wandering souls down here.

Who: Trent and Venus.
Where: Outside the high school, where the emergency services are holed up.
When: Late evening.


The contents of the styrofoam cup in his hand had gone cold a while ago but he hadn’t gotten around to pouring it out and stuffing the container in their small trash bag hanging in the back of the bus yet. His partner had wandered off about fifteen minutes ago to try and get an update, though Trent had told the other paramedic before they’d roamed into the crowd that they were wasting their time, that the authorities would come and find them if and when they were needed. They carried radios for a reason. Still, the other paramedic had insisted and Trent had watched them go with only a small shake of his head.

Being by himself gave him entirely too much time to think and he felt his free hand going for his pocket for the cell phone pushed into the depths entirely of its own accord. With a sigh he finally ditched the cold contents of the cup into the grass over which the ambulance had been awkwardly driven to be parked off the road, a little closer to the school. It would make it easier to get patients to the back of the vehicle when that barrier came down, if they needed medical help, though Trent wasn’t looking forward to the drive off the grass. He heard the liquid hit the grass with a dull splash and fumbled around without looking for the bag, only releasing the cup when he felt the opening and knew he wasn’t going to spill dregs of bad coffee all over the inside of the bus. That left both hands free to work the phone when he successfully retrieved it from his pocket.

Nothing new. As he suspected the rest of his family had, Trent had sent those of his siblings who had attended the dance urgent messages asking them to contact him. When he checked the status of the messages he saw, not for the first time, that they had failed to deliver. Lotti and Kyle’s phones were out of reach. Cupping the phone between both of his hands and resting his chin on them, elbows on his knees as he perched in the back of the open ambulance, Trent turned his eyes on the school, trying to figure out like so many others what it was that was keeping their loved ones trapped inside, and the rest of them out.

there's always something going on and there's always something happening.

Who: Carter and Athena.
Where: Across the street from the school, to start with.
When: Early evening.


Considering he’d gone toe to toe with a vampire -- presumably one of significant age and with a decent amount of strength and experience -- Carter didn’t look too terrible. A little haggard, certainly, but not nearly as bad as one might expect for an individual who had engaged in physical combat with a powerful immortal who’d had every intention of ending his life. On the outside Carter didn’t look all that different to how he normally did and to perfect strangers there would be no sign of anything being out of the ordinary. It was to those that knew him that the differences would be telling: the slightly untidy hair, the darker shadow of stubble around the lower half of his face, the slight shadow under his eyes that betrayed a lack of sleep over the last couple of days. It had been difficult to sleep with the wound being where it was and as tough and experienced as Carter was he was still just a mortal man, just as susceptible to pain as any human. Painkillers dulled the senses and compromised reaction times, things he couldn’t afford to risk, and in the short time he had spent here in Scarlet Oak he had already heard and seen enough to know that he also couldn’t afford to take a night off.

So there he stood, dressed ready to hunt when the light failed completely, weapons concealed beneath clothing, out of sight and out of mind of the people around him, when by all rights he should have been back in his room at the Lodge getting some rest. Carter had rested enough, he found it difficult to stay still at the best of times, let alone when something significant was going on, and the incident at the local high school certainly fit the bill.

There wasn’t much he could tell from where he stood but he listened, took in little pieces of conversations all around him, working out enough of the story from those snatches of dialogue to know that there were a lot of people trapped inside and no one could make any kind of contact, let alone get close enough to any of the building’s points of entry to figure out what was going on. Magic of some sort, it had to be, but this wasn’t Carter’s area, it never had been and likely never would be. His family had steered clear of this sort of thing, sticking to vampires and demons and the threats and dangers they posed. This was another world entirely.

All the same, Carter had felt compelled to come and investigate, if only to see with his own eyes just what was going on. If nothing else it served to convince him that he had made the right decision in coming to this town. He’d heard and read so many stories about this place, and what he saw before him now was proof that Scarlet Oak needed as much help -- not to mention protection -- as it could get.
