“We can’t rely on spells and magic alone. It has failed us once and I am sure it will fail us again. I’m only saying, it would be best to be able to protect ourselves with more sustainable weapons.”
“Okay I gotta ask, is this magical stuff a practical joke you guys pull on everyone who move here, or are people here just a lot more superstitious than other places? Either way, you’re talking to the wrong person, I’m pro gun control dude.”
Jett had a couple hours before Juni got out of school. He scratched his head as he walked out of the gym and towards his car. He sighed and clicked the button to find his car. He got in and headed home before he decided to do a little shopping. He headed to the shops. Once parked and desweatified. He walked through the shops. Not planning to bump into anyone.
Erin looked up when the bell over the door announced someone entering the shop. “Hello there, and welcome to Coffey Comics, I’m Erin Coffey. How can I help you?” she said, with her best customer service voice. “We have a wide selection of comics, and I’m happy to help you find something you like.”

Alex stared blankly for a moment before laughing quietly at himself. “You got me there, I guess it doesn’t make a lot of sense. I don’t know what it is, they just never really interested me, you know? But Dorian reads so many of them. It’s kind of astonishing. But he really likes Marvel, I think it is.”
“Oh marvel is really good, they make my favorite superhero stuff. Maybe something more on the realistic side would suit you better though? Or just another fantastic genre. Have you heard about Elfquest?”
ottiliexhollingsworth:
“It’s wonderful to meet you, Erin, I’ll have to stop by the shop sometime. It’s been ages since I’ve gotten a chance to read a comic. I didn’t even know there was one in town at all.” She hoped that the shop was just new, and that she hadn’t been missing it the entire time that she had lived there.
“Oh, I just recently opened, it used to be a craft store, but it’s been closed for like nearly a decade as far as I know. I just recently inherited the building.” She feels more at ease now that she’s talking about her business. “You really should come by sometime, I’d be happy to help you find a great comic.”
alexxblackwell:
“A comic shop? Well, between you and me, I’ve never read a single comic. My boyfriend, however, loves them, so he’ll be excited to hear about you, and you’ll end up seeing a lot of us.” Alex laughed, thinking of Dorian then. “He’s tried getting me into some but it just hasn’t been my thing.”
Erin blinks, looking at the man. “okay, so you’ve never read a comic, but it’s not your thing? Look, I don’t mean to be rude, but that doesn’t check out. You’re missing out on a whole great art form man. What kind of comics does your boyfriend like?”
ottiliexhollingsworth:
“Oh wow, that was really smooth. Like, freshly waxed floor smooth, not like chunky peanut butter which is me on a good day.” Lottie took in her adorable suit, smiling at the bow tie. “You look incredible. The bow tie is a nice pop of color. I’m Ottilie, but you can call me Lottie.”
“Well, chunky peanut butter is better anyway,” Erin said, feeling significantly less smooth now. “And believe me, that right there was a once in a millennia type thing, don’t hold your breath waiting for more smooth lines.” She blushed slightly and her fingers went to the bowtie, “thanks, it’s one of my favorites. I’m Erin Coffey, I own Coffey Comics.”
alexxblackwell:
“I mean, it is a great business plan. Who doesn’t like being flirted with?” Alex smiled, lifting his glass in her direction. “What kind of store is it?”
“Thank you, that’s what I thought too. It’s Coffey Comics, the new comic book store. We have a really good selection.”
Everyone here was so attractive that Lottie felt out of place among the entire town. She needed to strike up a conversation with anyone before she lost her mind. “Do you ever make eye contact with a person and they’re so beautiful you know you’re gonna think about it for the rest of the day meanwhile they were probably like ‘wow I didn’t know goblins existed in real life’?” Okay, Lottie really needed to work on her people skills.
"Well I did make eye contact with you just then,” Erin said, right off the bat, without taking too long to think about it and just making it weird. As soon as the words passed her lips she lit up. “Wow, can we just take a moment to appreciate how smooth that was? Like I don’t even care that I completely ruined it by pointing it out and making a whole deal out of it, because that was probably the smoothest I’ll ever be.” She exhaled, “I can totally relate though.”
“Are you… trying to flirt with me?”
“Only to convince you to come see my store sometime, I’m a ruthless businesswoman like that.”

“Neither have I and I never hoped to,” he lied, no he had seen this before and that time he’d been his fault. This however was not and whatever was happening might gain a body count. He shook his head and turned back to her. “Nope, your Aunt wasn’t just telling stories. But, if you ask me, its all legend or at least most of it. You never really know, stories carry weight and sometimes they can seem more real than you think. I will happily tell you about them sometime.”
“Amen to that, this is crazy,” and yes, she was already thinking of ideas to include it in her comic, or something like it. “It sure seems interesting, and I’m thrilled to hear more, under less pressing circumstances of course. Right now there are more important things to focus on I guess.”

Milo stepped a few feet away, telling the operator the situation–while he wasn’t aware of what was in the punch, but knowing the majority of the town was Supernatural he warned them it could very well be a poisoning. Which to what knowledge he had of what could be used as weapons against them, this seemed to be fitting a few bills. It wasn’t much, but it might be enough for them to help out. Once the call ended, he looked back to the woman beside him. “I’d say they’d be here soon, given this many people it’s odd they didn’t have a few cops on site.” He noted, knowing the town typically didn’t take precautions as such, but given the recent history–it was surprising. He perked up at her comment, he chuckled lightly, she was mortal. That was cute, she was blissfully unaware and he hoped she could stay that way. “No, it’s not. This town as a reputation for strange things. Rumors say witches from the trials fled here and well, the rest is history. Since then rumors of werewolves, witches, vampire, and even more recently merpeople have come about. Some people still believe in the legends and well, you can’t be too careful.”
“I sure hope so, I’ve never seen anything like this.” She looked at Milo, trying not to look too much at all the bodies on the floor. Her interest peaks as he mentions the rumors of witches and vampires. “Huh, and here I thought my aunt made that up, but it’s an actual town story, huh? That’s pretty interesting, you’ll have to tell me more sometime.” It could be good research for her comic book after all.
“This place is incredible.” Garrett smiled quietly to himself as he looked around the newest business in town. He hadn’t been there long, but long enough to miss having access to a comic book store, now that one had arrived he couldn’t stop himself from going. He was in awe of the collection, he wasn’t even sure where to start or what to do. But he knew, this was his new favorite place.

Erin was thrilled, this was the first day the store was open, and so far it was everything she’d imagined. “It’s quite great, isn’t it? Do you need help finding anything? We have a wide selection of both mainstream comics and more niche stuff. I am confident we have something to your liking!”

Milo had arrived late, he had considered not going, but after a long shift the idea of free home made food sounded are too heavenly to pass up. He had just placed the box of cookies he’d picked up on the way on the table when the first person went down. He looked to the commotion only to see another, a sigh escaped him as realized some more of the town’s regular scheduled bullshit was upon the gathering. “Call them anyway,” he told her as he pulled out his own phone. “I believe we will need all the help we can get.”
Erin nodded and pulled out her phone, after setting down her mac and cheese. She dialed the emergency number, while looking around. “Yes, hello. My name is Erin Coffey and I’m at the Hawthorne Winter Holidays Potluck, and something seems to be going on. People are falling to the ground and appear to be in pain. I just got here myself. Uh yes? Alright, thank you.” She hung up then, looking at the other guy, “so hopefully someone’s going to come help everyone. Though that was a pretty strange call. She asked if the hurt people appeared to be human, that’s a bit odd, right?”
Erin arrived late and stressed out. She had considered not showing up at all, but she’d made this whole blasted thing of mac and cheese, and late or not this was a good arena to promote the opening of her store. At least she thought it would be until she came in and saw people collapsing onto the floor in pain all over the locale. “The fuck...” she muttered, looking around. She had no idea what was going on, but it didn’t look good. “Hey, what’s going on?” she asked the closest person, “has anyone called 911?”
Selma came stumbling in late, without a dish for the potluck. Her plan was to eat whatever she wanted, steal someone’s wallet, and drink until she blacked out. In her drunken haze, it took her a minute to understand what she was looking at. “Why does everyone look like they’re dying?”
Erin arrived pretty much at the same time as Selma. She was carrying a huge thing of mac and cheese and the hope that no one would notice how late she was. This was her first time socializing with people in town after all. The people in obvious pain was more than she signed up for.
“I was hoping you’d know,” she said, looking around. “This isn’t normal for town events, right?”
