Field trips weren't usually Jaxon's thing, but he did appreciate it when a little effort paid off. Holding the fresh paperwork that secured a new line of mead for the pub, he was heading back to his car when he decided to take a detour through Vievecor city park. The open space, the fresh air...they both felt like a well-deserved breather after dealing with the red tape, and he was going to enjoy it alright.

The wolf had stepped in through the northern gate, keeping distracted for the most part. Maybe if he made it in time for lunch, he told himself, he could actually squeeze in a little nap before getting back to work... hang out with Max or Will after. And how fitting then, that one of them was calling him right in that moment? Wedging the phone between his ear and shoulder while trying to keep the supplier documents tucked safely under his arm was difficult, and by all means distracting.

Jax could barely get a word in, let alone get far, before completely missing the person right in front of him. The knock made him lose his balance but luckily, a hand seemed to stretch toward him and he took it without thinking.

Of course the file popped open, scattering the documents and his pen all over the cobblestones around his feet. "…I'm sorry," Jax muttered, crouching down to grab the stray papers. "I wasn't paying attention." Was he also walking too fast? Probably. Looking up, finally, Reed could barely hide the look of suprise on his face. Whoever this woman was, she was glowing unlike any other deity he'd ever seen. "Wow." he blinked, "I mean..Hi."

Corona did not think she would ever tire of the looks mortals gave her when they witnessed her in her divine glory and she chuckled lightly at the man's reaction. It was a most appropriate reaction and despite wearing a pencil skirt that hugged the curves of her body, the deity gracefully descended into a crouch, her high heels aiding in accentuating the elegant of the lines of her body.

"Hello to you as well," she said with a wink and reached for the piece of paper that was closest to her. Corona was clearly not going to do much of picking up what fell around them. "I feel like I was the one who interrupted you..." And with a crook of her finger, the fallen pen leapt into her hand. "That was going to be a work call, wasn't it?" That was hardly a guess when the deity had already picked what information she needed from the man's mind.

[naz-ulusoy]

It wasn't the best use of her Sunday but Naz had to head into the office and review some case notes last minute before they went to trial in the morning. While she was glad not to have to do yoga that morning, she was disappointed about wasting a good day on work.

Her phone buzzed with another text from her assistant, giving her updates on what calls she had to make. She was too distracted to notice the tall stature of a blonde women. Naz managed to catch herself just before they clashed, minimising the impact with some of her magic. Naz was quick to start apologising, knowing that she had been glued to her phone instead of paying attention to where she was walking.

"My goodness, I am so sorry! I was not looking where I was going at all. I blame being a workaholic but that's not a good excuse." The spirit would argue that fresh air didn't matter to a spirit but that would be frowned upon. "I'm on my way to my office I'm afraid so no time for fresh air today," Naz replied, trying to give a polite smile despite the uneasy feeling she was getting. Something felt a little too bright and warm and uncomfortable, causing the spirit to take another step back.

[corona-hepsburg]

A spirit. Corona could tell from the woman's energy. And not just a typical spirit either. This one was different and altogether something more animal. She seemed to refuse Corona's outstretched hand as well which only caused the deity to tilt her head curiously.

"That's quite alright." A blonde curl fell over one of Corona's eyes as the woman took a step backward. "What's got you so spooked, my dear? I just wanted to make sure that you were alright."

sunday in the park | open starter

for: @vievecorcitystarters anyone and everyone location: vievecor city park

Corona was still getting used to the dreadful feeling of being on Earth. There was no easy way to go about it apart from simply exposing herself to it. She did not ever think she would get used to it, but being in the park made it marginally better. She knew that this park was maintained by the elves of the city and by her standards, they did a good enough job in keeping everything pristine.

She was simply strolling along the pathway, soaking in the nature when someone bumped into her. The impact did nothing to the deity as Corona remained standing and clearly unaffected, but she did the gracious thing and extended her hand out towards the other to help.

"You shouldn't be moving with such haste, my dear. It's such a lovely day today. Why not slow down and enjoy the fresh air?" Corona's divine glow was emanating off of her in waves as she smiled beatifically at the other.

So far, it was mainly humans that had approached him, which had been somewhat of a mercy for his very first week trying to integrate himself into a new city, or rather, back into society in general. Eighty years had changed many things, yet it felt like barely any time had passed at all.

It shocked him when he clocked her face, an immediate sense of dread washing over him and locking his body into place, making him feel like he had quicksand under his feet, pulling him rapidly under.

“Look like—“ Enzo began, confused, but it was unimportant as Corona continued. “Yes… Elemiah.” Even his own name brought along a sense of shame and he tried to swallow it down. He very much wished he had chosen to cease to exist, though this wasn’t the first time he had thought that.

[corona-hepsburg]

Corona could feel the shame washing over Elemiah as he seemed to practically cower before her. It was an appropriate response from one of the fallen, she supposed, because there were fallen deities out there who delighted in their falls. This one was at least, morose about it. Elemiah might have been ashamed of what he'd done, but he'd still done nothing to find ways prevent it and thus could gain no sympathy from her.

"And how did it happen?" the ancient deity asked, arms akimbo as she leaned her weight on one hip to wait for his response.

Location: The Natural History Museum

“Our first stop of the day, the Natural History Museum. Constructed in 1835, I think you’ll agree just by looking at its impressive architecture, it was well worth the ferry journey across, as promised. If you’d like to head on inside and present your tickets, one of the museum’s expert tour guides will be waiting to begin your tour.” Enzo waited for the group to filter inside the museum before following them inside. He watched them collect their tickets and group lanyards, before he wandered off.

Hoping to pass the time with something interesting until his group returned, Enzo peered into one of the cabinets, examining a set of bones inside and the small plaque on the outside of the glass that held information on what was inside. “Well that’s just a lie.” The fallen deity muttered to himself as he surveyed the gigantic set of teeth embedded into the strange looking skull, before straightening his back when someone approached, “Am I in your way?” He asked, stepping aside, “Don’t worry, I think there’s more chance I’ll bite you than he will.”

[corona-hepsburg]

Corona was at the Natural History Museum that day to make a donation to its efforts. After selling off a small pile of artefacts from the ancient world that was sitting in her personal light dimension, she had made a tidy sum of money, some of which could be spared to the coffers of Domiel's workplace. She understood what he was doing, keeping track of history and the ancient worlds in a way that only a deity could and she was happy to aid him. If the name 'Corona Hepsburg' appeared on the next list of generous donors then that would be all the more helpful in getting her new name out there.

She was making her way out of the museum when she felt a dark presence nearby, one that perked up her deity instincts and she walked over, her heels clicking along the floor in warning until she came upon a face she had not seen in awhile. This one had been one of Elio's, but he had disappeared awhile ago...

"Only to pop up on Earth with the audacity to look like this?" she finished the sentence in her head out loud with a narrowing of her green eyes. "Many thought you'd ceased, but it's clear that was not the case. A pity." Corona arched a brow at the fallen deity as she wracked her brain for his name. "Elemiah, was it?" she recalled with sour look on her face and a curl on her lip.

where: the punch cage with: open || @vievecorcitystarters

a deep drag slowly burned the brightly hued rolling paper wrapped around a sloppily stuffed joint to a short, strongly scented roach. it singed the tips of seraphina's fingers with each lingering second, but they did not flinch at the mild discomfort. instead, hopping down from the counter where they'd been perched formerly and finally crushed the butt underneath their boot. sera turned with ebullient expectation to where an opponent should be waiting. "hey princess, here for sparring hours or d'you need something else?" they instinctively and methodically stretched every tense muscle of one well-defined back, arms above their head and reaching higher; then proceeded to stretch their hamstrings, left and right; and subsequently started on core just as well. "you can have a lollipop from the bowl if you win."

[corona-hepsburg]

Corona was still settling into being back on Earth after centuries of being away. This Vievecor City where she decided would be her new city of residence was vastly different to what she was used. It was so crowded. With person upon person practically living on top of one another as they went about their lives, but there were still things that were quite the same. One of which was their entertainment.

Mortal beings loved watching a good fight, something that had been going on since as long as Corona could remember, so there she was in the Punch Cage, the city's supernatural fight club. Corona had been a Goddess of War in a time long past, so she still enjoyed a good brawl and seeing the divine spark of a rambunctious-looking deity within this establishment got her attention.

She reached a hand out to close it around the other's wrist, her own divinity radiating off her unabashedly. "Do you work here, child?" Corona asked, her lips spreading into a smile.

back to earth | self para

Corona was long overdue for another visit to earth. Her last visit had been quite a few centuries ago and they all knew how time moved differently in the Divine Realm than it did on Earth. What would the deities on earth be up to in the present day? How much would Earth have changed since she last stepped foot in the place?

Earth did not have the best energy, and it felt especially less so of late when the ancient deity landed in the Sacred Glen on Holy Island, stepping out of the keystone that connected the two realms only to feel the dredge descend over her. The sensation was immediate and Corona had to rub at her temples to ease the ache she could already feel growing in between her eyes.

"Ugh..." she groaned and started walking away from the keystone, each step taking her further and further away from the divine energy the statue of the angel emitted.

This would not do. Something needed to be done about this.

Corona needed a home, one that she could fashion into something better suited to her needs on Earth and for that she needed money.

"Alright. Get it together, Coro," the deity told herself as she dropped her hand to look up at the blue skies above her. That, at least, still looked like something that belonged in the Divine Realm.

The deity drew in a breath and disappeared in a flash of light, reappearing inside a small personal light dimension where she kept all the gifts and offerings she had accrued over the years from those who once believed in her. She was going to have to rebuild this following from scratch, but this collection would provide for now. There would be many things she could sell to get herself started on her most recent stint on Earth.

Corona's hand moved instinctively to an ornate 11th century vase she vaguely remembered picking up in China and she set it aside to start putting together a pile of whatever pieces she needed for her next vacation away from the Divine Realm.
