Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Odin and his familiar Muninn
When: Afternoon, after this and before and during this
Where: The D'Ambray house

( In which Odin has a messenger raven of his own )

For a thing. JUST IN CASE.

For Isaiah and Langston, for pre-full-moon hangouts/catch-ups/sanity-checks! ♥ Will delete if we end up moving it.

Who: Evan and Savvy
Where: Savvy's apartment
When: Late afternoon


( Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning? )

Who: Venus, Trent, August, Star, and Willow (+familiars Raphaela and Haze)
When: Afternoon
Where: Venus' apartment

Texts had been sent and wards had been laid. Venus, with the help of her sister Willow, had spent the better part of an hour coaching Star on what was going to happen. Willow and Star would wait in Venus' bedroom while Venus explained the basics, then Willow and Star would come out and Star would answer any questions they had the best that she could. The most important part was explaining that they were going to make something like a game out of it, and that Star had to pretend that this was very sad, scary, and above all, very serious. And if she did good, they'd order pizzas and Star could have a reward.

Venus had no idea if that was actually going to work, but it was the best they could shoot for. She had the very thin hope that this way, Star might not say anything completely insensitive, and making a bad situation even messier could be avoided. Venus felt vaguely sick, but it was the best she could do. She was just settling back down on the couch when she heard a knock on the door. After mentally checking in with Raphaela that Willow and Star were safely occupied in her room, Venus called out, "Come in!"

Who: Aurora and Cheila
Where: Ice cream parlor
When: Afternoon

( Believe it and you'll be walking on air. )

WHO | Alicia and OPENSugar
WHERE | Hotel di Sei Ali
WHEN | Around lunchtime

( She also began to think about her current freedom. )

Who: Caelia and Kammie
Where: Caelia's hotel and suite
When: Mid-Afternoon

( I was hoping you could help me with something. )

Who: Desi and Frankie
Where: Sarah's Place
When: Dinner time

The staggering lack of balance felt around Desi had been the entire reason why she had gotten blackout drunk the night before. Of course that didn't help the balance of the universe, but it sure as hell helped Desi's - in putting her well beyond incapable to keep steady, as it happened. Hours later, however, once the hangover, following elation at her own magical powers and finally the company of family wore off, Desi was left with that nagging feeling again. And then, the distinct notion that she had no idea what to do about it.

Having the weekend off also meant that instead of having actual things to do, more often than not, Desi was left with her own thoughts (and Hatee's) to keep her company most of the day. Eventually, after having left Arwen's home Desi had gone to hers, showered and dressed properly (which meant, in fresh clothes she hadn't worn last night). Then, she had made her way to the school, where chaos and despair still reigned supreme. Times like these, she really could use your typical all-american burger and milkshake - with or without company. So once she was satisfied with her time spent at the high school, Desi made her way to Sarah's Place. When her time to order was almost here, she was still unsure whether to ask for it to go or not. Sure, it was sad to dine out all on your own, according to most people. For Desi it was a nice respite from all the people she dealt with daily - family included.

WHO | Nora & Davin
WHERE | Outside U of M Hospital
WHEN | Night

( She didn’t think that Zoie, as frail as she was, could handle the truth. )

Who: Søren and Seraphina
When: Midday
Where: Søren's hotel room
NOTE: /Sections/ are spoken in German.

"If my toys are going to be so polite as to show up on my very doorstep, I cannot ignore that." That was what she had told her son, and a day later Seraphina felt everything was working in her favor. She set a few discrete members of her staff to watching, and when Søren's suite was empty she simply let herself in. Whether Søren returned first or her daughter with whomever it was Søren had hired to tend to her, Seraphina cared not. She was ready to work with either. Though she preferred to draw Daddy back into her corner, first.

She was dressed to do exactly that, she thought. Perhaps a little bolder than she ever dressed as Acacia, but nothing so risqué as to throw the man into shock, or so drab as to allow him to forget a single curve. She sat at the edge of a desk rather than the couch - body language was important. She wanted to appear comfortable in Søren's room, but not quite so arrogant as to be relaxing. She needed to look as if every second waiting for his return was an agony. Poised to straighten and rush to her feet the second he walked in the door. In reality she knew he was coming long before she heard his card key against the door. Humans walked so loudly. She sat straight, rigid really, and looked up from the wedding ring she toyed with in her hands. Yes, come back to me, my pet. I will set everything to rights.

Who: Liliya and Lizbeth
Where: Liliya's house
When: Evening, after this

( If she had been in a bad state the night that the angel had made her presence known at Heme, then she was quite worse for the wear tonight. )

Who: Nora, Zoie and Mama!Irving (NPC)
Where: UofM hospital
When: Mid-afternoon

( What will be will be. )

Who: Willow and Venus
When: Immediately after this
Where: Phoneland

After securing an agreement from Star that she would stay, Venus had asked her to go into the kitchen with Raphaela and find something to entertain herself with for ten minutes. She'd even made Raphaela grab her the egg timer and she'd set it. Ten minutes, then Star could 'talk to the phone.' What did Venus care if it meant Star glamoured everything within sight to be a rainbow? She couldn't see anyway! Then Venus had hauled ass into her bathroom (something she was becoming remarkably good at with a blindfold on), and used the voice dialer on her phone for Willow.

Jesus tapdancing Christ what did I just get myself into. What have I done? Before she could even shut the bathroom door she had grabbed her 'emergency bag,' and before the phone even had a chance to ring she was beginning to prepare to place the wards. She needed Willow to be here, and she needed her to be here at least two hours ago. She needed enough magic in the building to guarantee beyond a shadow of a doubt that no matter how hard they tried, Trent and August together could not kill Star. She was also pretty sure she needed a good cry and an icepick lobotomy, but both of those were going to have to wait for a time when Star wasn't in her kitchen.
