Mystic Falls

Who: Samantha & Spencer, OT: Isabel
When: Early morning, Saturday
Where: the Áalihte-Rayne residence
What: Catching the early bird...



It was still early when Samantha returned from her customary dawn flight, entering her house via the living room window.

In her beak she carried her latest trinket, a shiny compass she'd found discarded by an abandoned campsite in the woods. Once she'd determined that the campers were gone, not lying injured somewhere, and merely careless, she'd brought the compass home with her.

Spencer, was sprawled, on the couch, shirtless, dozing peacefully, and Samantha couldn't help but linger, circling the room a couple of times before settling on the back of the couch, gazing down at him. When he opened his eyes and caught her staring down at him, she startled, her treasure falling from her beak to land on his naked chest, and flew upstairs and into her room.

Once transformed, she took a shower and dressed, then headed downstairs, determined to act like nothing had happened. "Morning Spence." She murmured as she breezed past him on her way to the coffee pot, picking it up and pouring herself a mug, "Want some?"

Who: Open to all - the more the merrier!
When: 6pm onwards.
Where: Mystic Falls Town Hall, Square & Gardens, and beyond...
What: Merriment, Magic, & Madness



The town square had been decorated with streamers and balloons, colourful fairy lights sparkling in the trees. Vendors had lined the square with carts selling all manner of food and drinks, stalls were set up with a variety of games to play, and a band played cheery music on a stage by the roped off 'dance floor."

The town hall had also been decorated for the occasion, and people in all manner of costumes were entering the building to attend the ball.

Puck was at the bottom of the town hall steps, looking thoroughly disreputable in biker gear, his eyes scanning the throng for his fairy princess. Catching sight of her, he smirked and sauntered over, bowing deep before her. She was beautiful, of course, resplendent in her costume, but eyes passed over her as though she was invisible. If only they could see her for who she truly was... An idea forming, he took her hand and spun her around in a pirouette, in process stripping away the seeming which cloaked her, revealing her to all, and transforming her fake wings into real ones. People stopped and stared, gasps could be heard whispering through the crowd. Kissing the hand he'd taken, he smiled at Aria, "You are a vision, my lady."

Just then, he felt the chill of winter glamour shiver along his skin, and turned to see Keane NicLaran, one of the winter court's most fearsome warriors, dressed as Batman, with Simone NicLucius, stunningly sexy as Catwoman. Realizing he'd endangered his princess, he thought fast, and began transforming people into the costumes that they wore...

Who: Sam & Izzy
When: Noon
Where: Order in the Court Bistro
What: Food for thought.



"Izzy, over here," Sam stood up and waved for her friend to join her at a table far in the back of the courtyard. She studied Isabel as she approached, noticing deep shadows under her eyes, evidence of a sleepless night, "Wow, you either had a great night, or a really crappy one. Which was it?"
