When you find an old picture of us And you clear away the dust I hope you miss me sometimes ( @dvsconocvdo )

[valentina-martinez]

As much as she hated Lunar Cove, she had to admit the people in it were always interesting. For better or for worse. "So what are you into?" she asked, a playful smile dancing at her lips as she locked eyes with them. "And that's an easy fix," she added, taking another drag from her joint before holding it out towards them in invitation, "sharing is caring and all that." She laughed on her exhale, the smoke fanning out around her. "Pretty much, yea. Haven't got any complaints so far though so I'd say it's a pretty good habit, wouldn't you?"

[dvsconocvdo]

Haru let out a small scoff before tilting his head, pondering how to respond to the other. "Not sure I should be sharing that information so readily." They teased before taking the joint and putting it on their lips. They put out their cigarette with their shoe before taking a drag from the join. "But since you shared and all, I guess I should do the same? I don't like anything that leaves a mark on me. How about that? Useful? Want more?" He shook his head before staring in awe at the other. "If there aren't any complaints, I guess there's no need to change it." This whole conversation felt rather ridiculous, but Haru wasn't bothered by it. Something about the incredulity eased their mind. "Have you been in town for long?" The whole biting bit felt a bit in theme with their new found knowledge. Who knew that at their age they would find out about vampires, fae, and everything in between.

Poppy sat across from Noel and while they spoke her blue eyes hyperfixated on the water bottle. Before the Halloween discussion went to far she held up her hand to stop Noel. “Why the fuck is your water bottle so big? I mean who needs that much water?” She questioned aloud. “Now back to Halloween. I don’t know what we are doing party wise. The council is deciding this week, then obviously it goes to Dilan to plan whatever we decide.” She was fine with not hosting this year given how it had went when she’d hosted in the past. Giving a laugh at Noel’s words and she shook her head no: “As of right now I will not be half naked or naked for Halloween. I know sworrows and prayers to the naked Poppy Reed fandom, but pretty sure Altan prefers I keep the more risky costumes for his place:” Taking a sip of her coffee to hide the skirt on her face. “So I’ll just transfer my half naked fans to you.” She told her with a hint of a laugh. “What are you dressing up as this year?”

[dvsconocvdo]

At Poppy's remark, Noel dramatically gasped and looked offended. “Okay, I don't know about you, but some of us like to stay hydrated to have beautiful skin.” A pause. “Not that your skin isn't nice, but whatever.” She prolonged the whatever in a teasing tone before smiling. Not one to fidget, Noel simply poked the water bottle towards Poppy. “Listen, I'm a busy person, so some times just having a huge water bottle that lasts me through half my day is all I need. Plus my three coffees, but that's neither here or there.” In all honesty, ever since Noel started working as an exotic dancer more seriously, she began taking care of her body in earnest. Working out consistently, and taking care of herself just became second nature. It all started as a means to preserve her looks, but she found joy in the discipline it took. “Noooo. Prayers and sorrows indeed! Who else will be half naked next to me?” Noel pouted before making a silly face at the mention of Altan. “Is that the guy you were making out with at your party oorrr?” Noisy by nature, she set her face on her hands attentively looking at the other. But something lingered on Noel's mind. A remark made by Jasmine. A warning. She would not overstep her welcome in the topic of any of their siblings love lives. Not again. “But do you have any ideas? For costumes? Regardless how much skin you show?” She asked before grinning. “I have like six costumes ideas, and they are all in the works. What can I say? I'm indecisive and want to make sure I'm on theme with whatever y'all [the Council] end up choosing.”

Rolling her eyes playfully, she scoffed. “Don't know about that. I think the club of my half naked fans is pretty full.” She joked.

[kenxmatsui]

Silence, though it was something that provided him comfort, right now, as he waited for Haru to say something, only caused tension to mount. And as if his thoughts were taken into consideration, cutting through the silence was a heartbeat ringing so clear and loud that it took over his headspace until it was all he could hear. It didn't help though, to hear that sound now when he hadn't for so many years, but in a way it was good too, they were here and he hoped with everything that it was a live one not something undead like his. It seemed fair to be hit back with anger, it was something he knew so well, something he could take so well, take it and let it burrow deep, but more importantly their anger was deserved because Haru was right, Ken clearly did not look long enough, not hard enough, he wasn't persistent nor steadfast, so yes, anger felt fair, it was justified, he deserved worse than that.

Eyes flashed in Haru's direction when they spoke again, mouth opening yet no words seemed to follow through. How could he explain this situation? He didn't lie on principle, he definitely couldn't lie to Haru, but how does one even begin to explain this? He exhaled heavy trying to form the right words, he had never been one to mince words either, direct and blunt was how he chose to operate but that couldn't be applied to this situation, "I- had to leave due to circumstances. Ended up here. It's complicated." He settled for that, for now at least, "A lot happened. I know that's a shit explanation but it's all I can offer you right now. But I didn't know you kept tabs on me till New York, why didn't you reach out?" Could things have gone differently if he knew Haru was looking for him? Could he have still be alive? Threads of fate woven differently to keep him alive, to keep him human still? No that was foolish thinking, they would've gotten Haru too, and it'd be his fault.

Sharp words and sharper looks paused Ken in thought as he watched Haru, what they had said hitting deeper than expected. Blinking back to the moment, Ken nodded, "You're right. I suppose we're not kids anymore." The response fell quiet and low, carrying too much emotion yet showing very little of it as he tried to reign it back. Even now, even in this moment of their reunion, their parents teachings still echoed in his head as he fought to grip his emotions back. He wished it was different, wished that they could be kids again, but it was foolish. While time paused for him, he couldn't turn it back. "I missed a lot of your life, didn't I?" But he didn't dwell on that, he couldn't. "I'm alone," he answered, forcing focus to shift yet again but when Haru questioned again, Ken naturally fell silent until to explain. "I was only looking out," he said when they picked up the lighter.Taking it, he twirled it between his fingers absent mindedly before tucking it back into his pocket without more comments.

An expected huff of a laugh sounding at what he was asked, "Safe is an interesting word. I'm fine. How long have you been in town? Who have you met? You deserve an explanation, you do, I'm not stalling, promise. I just… it's a fucking lot if I'm being honest. Do you live close to here?" Where did they even live? How did they find this place? The more he asked, more questions piled into his head. "We should head somewhere private." Not that he was worried about people overhearing him talking about the true nature of this town, folks would hardly bat an eye, still, he felt this should be done less openly. "Or we can even go sit in my car, it's close by."

[dvsconocvdo]

"It's complicated." Haru repeated slowly as if trying to process the poor excuse their brother had just handed them. "Is that it? Ken. What are you involved in? What happened?" It was weird to push further, but it wasn't enough. They said he died, but here he was. Sure, Haru did their best to convince themself that wasn't the case, but... the rumors had to come from somewhere. "Was it a bad case? Some fucking shady shit?" Brown eyes glared at Ken as they waited, and mentally pleated for an answer. This should be enough. He was alive, he was fine, but it wasn't. Resentment had a way to skew their memories, and at his question, their brows furrowed. "I didn't think you wanted me to reach out." You stayed, they thought, you stayed and became a lawyer. What else were they supposed to think, but that he had ended up like them? Like their vicious parents?

Haru felt at a crossroads. They always did with their family. A part of them admired Ken. It was hard not to. He was so exceptionally talented. It was hard to not admire their older brother as well. But the fear had lingered. They had left before Ken did, if Ken had even left... and their parents had a way with words. Even now, at the ripe age of thirty-two, Haru had to dismiss the lessons taught during their childhood. A small, terrified part of them wondered if Ken had remained latched onto their parents. But no, he was better than that. "You became a lawyer." The sentence drifted into silence, as if this could magically explain the whirlwind of thoughts inside of them. "I don't know." Honesty dripped their words. Why hadn't they reached out? They feared not liking who Ken had become, and they feared Ken not liking who they had become as well. Fear was a vicious liar, and self-hatred was too convincing. Haru detested the person they were a few years ago.

"Nothing that mattered." Eyes softened as they studied Ken. "There's still time." Right? They pleaded as they looked up at Ken. If anything, Haru was relieved Ken had missed all their awkward haircuts. Few things felt familiar to Haru. Regret, however, they knew well. Regret was a dear old friend, and seeing Ken's distant yet resonant response to their word sucked the air out of their lungs. "Yeah, but you're still my brother." Their tone came out a bit more assertive than before. "Don't listen to me." A weird thing to say, but nothing seemed to make sense anymore. "You can look out for me all you want, but these are expensive." Motioning to the lit cigarette in their hand, Haru tried to look unbothered, but failed. It was hard to see Ken back up so quickly. They didn't like it. The cost of the cigarettes was minuscule, and didn't even do a dent to all the money Haru had come to over the years, still, they had to say something.

Again, his response was so stiff. "What do you mean?" They stared at Ken with an incredulous look in their face. "You're fine? Have you been fine all these years?" This felt ridiculous. "You're giving me a migraine with this. Just... sure, let's go to your car, but... spit it out." Impatience felt foreign to their normal attitude, but they couldn't help it. It had been years, years of radio silence. Years of looking for Ken online, for any digital footprint and finding nothing. "I'm staying at the Emerald Hotel for now. I didn't want to bother house hunting especially since I just started a job." A pause before they realized just how much Ken didn't know about them. Another pause as they felt panic set onto them due to their constant job changes. "At K-Labs. I'm a computer engineer. I decided waiting to see if I still wanted to stay here after three months was smarter than renting a place." Words spilled over quickly, as if this would be enough to fill the void in both of their hearts. As if this was enough to put them back on track. They might never be right on track, but that was a thought Haru dismissed forcefully.

It dawned on them though that they might not want to leave, not if Ken was sticking around here."How long have you been around here? Since 2018?" Why was this important? They let out a sigh in frustration. This was a lot, but the uncertainty of not knowing what happened felt worse. Who have you met? Why does this matter? They thought, frustrated. No one mattered, no one but him.

"Is like building your dream home truly like attainable?" Noel asked as they moved the ever-so-small pencil. These days they found themself drawn into small sketchbooks, drawing whenever they got restless. If there was one thing Noel didn't know how to do, it was to stand still. Not unless they were nose-deep into a crafts project. "Cause like I always watch those home interior design shows, you know the ones with the brothers? And it's fun, but like, so many houses are sooo... I don't know, lifeless?" Leave it to them to find flaws with modern architecture. "Like, where's the stained glass windows? And gothic archways? You know? Where's the drama? I feel like my dream home would be on the edge of a haunted house, but like, clean?" And with a gym.

closed starter where: Happy Scoops with: Aspen @thecovemuse

"So, how did you get into the whole esthetician stuff?" Noel asked as they licked their ice cream cone. Sure, the weather was getting slightly chilly, but Noel barely got frozen treats as it was. They were thankful for Aspen's company too. "Was that like a family thing? Or is that a silly question? Dancing is definitely not a family thing on my end. I think I'd probably cringe if one of my dads started dancing publicly." Grimacing at the thought, Noel shrugged. "Your a life saver though. Genuinely. I have no idea where my face would be if I hadn't gone to the spa. I've been wondering about like going for massages too especially after full moons. I don't know how that goes for you, but it's a real shit show on my end. I swear the number of knots of my shoulders the day after are diabolical."

"Okay, so before we start, a few things. As always, this is a safe space. We're all here to learn, so there's no mistakes, yeah? We want to have a good time, and not hurt ourselves, so let's start with stretching. Most important part of any exercise is just to prep our bodies." Noel started their whole speech automatically. It didn't matter that the studio was barely populated the warnings remained. It was fun though. Seeing Ernie in their pole dancing class was not on their bingo card, but they shouldn't have put it past them. "Can I ask why you were interested in pole dancing? Or what you want to get out of it?"

closed starterwhere: Aysun's home in Shadow Lake with: @aysun-demir

Few things made Amrita burst with joy, and one of those was cooking or dining with others. Over the course of the recent months, Aysun had slowly eased from being Amrita's neighbor to a friend. She liked sharing recipes with the others, and sharing whatever treat she made late at night. It had become a fun habit between the two, so when Aysun invited Amrita over to dinner, she simply said yes. "I'm really excited to try out what you made. Thank you for inviting me over." Amrita set down the pot with the spider plant she brought over for Aysun. "I hope this is okay as a little gift to thank you for dinner."

@dvsconocvdo

"Do you miss them?" She asked. Her voice faint as she glanced over her shoulder back towards her sibling. She knew things had gotten heated between Noel and her earlier, but now that a few days had passed and their dads had hit the road to make it back to New York before the weekend was up, the one thought running through Jas' head was how empty the house now seemed. She used to never think twice before packing up her things and headed out of town, but now, she couldn't help, but feel like she missed having their parents around. They had brought a calm with them and now that they had left town, she couldn't shake this feeling like a storm was only just approaching that they may or may not be equipped to handle all on their own.

[dvsconocvdo]

"All the time." Noel replied without much thought. It felt weird. They weren't used to fighting with Jasmine, and Noel couldn't help but feel like an overreacting younger sibling after the anger faded. "It was nice to have them around, right? I feel like sometimes I don't realize how much I miss them until I see them again." A small pause. "How was it? Having a full house?" Pen scribbled on the same tattered piece of napkin as Noel avoided looking at Jasmine. She still felt awkward, still felt silly, still felt embarrassed. Another pause, hands stopped sketching for a second. "Do you... want to talk about what happened?" They still avoided Jasmine's gaze, but figured, they ought to break the ice.

[prescottreese]

Scott looked over their coffee-laden shirt and had a second of thought about being able to at least dry it in an instant. That wouldn't solve the staining, though.

"I'm honestly not sure. I usually just make my drinks at home," he countered. "I'll tell you what, though. If you have the time and you're willing to grab the table right over there that opened up, I'll negotiate with them for a replacement drink. Give you a minute to recollect yourself."

[dvsconocvdo]

"Smart." Haru countered back. "Maybe I should start making a habit of that. Buy a whole espresso machine to avoid-" Hands moved in the air, motioning to everything around them, "this." They had been eyeing an espresso machine after moving, but they kept putting it off. It felt so burdensome, to keep buying things only to move in a few months once they were settled in their new job. "I appreciate it. I ordered a cortado, if they ask." It felt unfair to ask the employees to remember what Haru had ordered. After all, the small shop was bustling with customers. "I'll grab the table then." Picking up a few more napkins from the counter, Haru moved to grab the table, glaring at some strangers who got close to it after he set their stuff in it. Again, the whole friendliness of the towns folk did unease Haru, but they weren't going to turn down some help. They were too sleep deprived to say no. "How did it go?" Haru asked Scott after cleaning up their shirt, giving up on sulking because of the stains.

[cantfightmoonlight]

"What?" Leyla blinked over at Haru with a wide eyed look, having not even noticed the display that nearly fell until the other turned to her. "N-no," She shook her head back and forth. "Not at all. Sorry, I was a bit distracted. New cat parent and all," She admitted, motioning over to the kitten she was cradling in her arms as she gave her the most innocent smile she could muster, despite her cart practically overflowing itself. She knew she hardly needed all this stuff, but it was her first kitten and, ever since her and Ken had gotten Cat, she hardly wanted to go anywhere without them and pet store did allow her to bring her pet, so she figured what was the harm in taking Cat on a little outing and spoiling the new member of the family while she was at it?

[dvsconocvdo]

"No harm done then." Haru whispered more to themself than to the other. Some of the tension eased in their muscles as they saw the cutest black cat in the other's arms. "New cat parent?" They questioned even though they heard her properly. "Have you bought a harness and leash? It's good to train them early if you want to do that sort of thing in the future. The only thing is to be wary of dogs who aren't fond of cats when you take them outside." It was simple to rant when it came to cats. They barely registered their own words, but they didn't mind. The pet store was their favorite spot in town, so talking to like-minded folk didn't annoy them. "Sorry, you didn't ask for unwarranted advice. What's their name?" Eyes wondered to the other's basket, and a sense of relief settled inside of them. Not one to be bashful, Haru wasn't ashamed of their overflowing baskets, but again, it felt nice to not be alone in the struggle of over-purchasing goods to ease their troubled mind. "I have three of my own. Three cats."

[efexumukoroxlc]

"No problem," Efe smiled. "Do you need any more?" This response came casually and politely, as though he were trying not to make the spill a bigger deal than it was while still offering sincere help. Cocking his head to one side, he managed a laugh. "Uh, well, no. There are others. But this one is pretty good. And sort of situated on a lot of people's way to work and school," he explained. "That said, some of the folks in here are...vampires can get different mixed drinks. Do you know what I mean?" He knit his brow. "I'm sorry. I don't think we've met, and I'm worried now that I might be the person who told you about vampires for the first time. Are you new in Lunar Cove?" He sighed a bit before looking down at himself. "Oh, me? Nah, nah. It's fine. No use crying over spilled half-and-half. I'm, uh, Efe. What were you drinking? Can I get them started on a new one for you?"

[dvsconocvdo]

"Probably just a few? Thanks again." The more they dabbed the wet napkins into their shirt and floor, the more their irritation faded into defeat. Haru let out a sigh once the floor was all cleaned up, before turning up to look at him. For a second, they looked genuinely puzzled before realization set on this expression. "No, you're good. I know about that." Barely, but that wasn't something they were going to confess. Haru couldn't help, but wonder if he was a vampire and what not, but they didn't voice this curiosity. "I am new in town, yeah." Was it obvious? Were there so few people that it was easy to spot them? Brushing back their hair, Haru shrugged at his pun, not amused. "I suppose so? And I ordered a cortado. Shouldn't take too long, hopefully." Besides, they'll wait regardless. It was a much needed drink. "Do those mixed drinks take more time?" Was that why the line moves by so slow? If so, Haru was more than ready to glare at any vampires (not that they'd recognize anyone except Ken). "I'm Harumi, you can call me Haru for short. I appreciate the help." This was much more different than their time in big cities.

It wasn't often that Haru took out their cats for a late night stroll in the hotel, but after a little vaccine visit to the vet, Yoshi had too much energy to stay cooped up. So, he was walking little Yoshi on the hotel, knowing that there halls weren't crowded at this time. Seeing a stranger walk by the hall, Haru stopped, and crouched by Yoshi letting the leash become shorter so she couldn't bother the stranger. "Hey neighbor." Haru said before yawning. It was easy to recognize the other, seeing him around the hotel more often than not. "Don't mind us." They waved a hand to dismiss the other.

"Okay, so... what do we want to start with?" The young witch pondered as she looked down at the ingredients set in front of them. After meeting Elif in a class in the local university, Amrita had been beyond excited to share an interest with her. Following their shared cooking class, Amrita had set up the ingredients and tools in a similar matter, as to not overwhelm Elif. "Do you feel confident with your knife skills? We can practice like chopping and what not." She looked over at Elif with a bright smile.

Birthdays weren't really memorable for Amrita. They simply had never been. From a young age, Amrita had done her utmost best to hide in the shadows, and stay out of everyone's way. That lead to the young witch being quite dismissive of the day, so she came to work like any regular day. Their coworker had given them a look as Amrita clocked in, and started making bouquets, but she ignored it. Fingers moved to arrange flowers in a neat way, fulfilling orders in a quiet fashion until the bell of the entry disturbed her focus. Turning to the door, Amrita put on her best customer service smile. "Welcome in! How may I help you?" Her eyes nearly popped out of her head when she saw her brother step into the store. "Hey! Good morning... Are you getting something for Jonah?"

— choose your own adventure starter;

option a. -> art in motion, afterhours

She didn't know what had caused the power to go out, but had resigned herself to the situation she was in, waiting for the power to come back on so she could lock the doors that the owner had so wisely insisted would benefit from electric locks. She lay in the middle of the gallery, staring up at the installation above her with a bottle of champagne in her hand, the condensation trickling down her knuckles, it was meant to be something she brought out when there was a big sale, but now it was her sole company - it would have gotten warm in the fridge anyway, she justified. She was pulled out of her head by the sound of someone coming in the still unlocked door. "We're closed, champagne?" She called, not moving from her position in the middle of the room.

option b. -> blush boutique

Halloween was a way off, but Rio was already planning her outfit, or at least attempting to. She loved any excuse to shop and play dress up, and she loved a costume more than anything. A thousand thoughts rushed around her head, trying to come up with a costume that was both recognisable, and that no one else would pick. Humming to herself she held a red vest up to herself and turned to the person next to her. "Lion tamer is a bit overplayed for Halloween isn't it?"

option c. -> echo acres

The summer heat prickled at her skin and she was sure that if she wasn't a vampire she would probably burn. The beach was too busy for her taste, so she had decided to hide out in the forest, hiking until she found the water. The fresh water had been cool on her skin, and now she lay in the sun, her book providing shade to her face. Hearing a twig snap in the tree line she lolled her head to the side, her eyes rolling as she did so. "You're giving slasher killer, but very b-movie with the twig snap. If you're going to kill me, at least be original about it."

Option A

It had been a few months since Noel had picked up their charcoals to sketch something, but lately they've felt inspired hence why they walked into Art in Motion. The ever-changing exhibits called to them, but they didn't expect it to be pitch black. The darkness didn't unsettle them though, too accustomed to rely on their other senses. "Preparing for October?" They joked as they stepped into the middle of the room. "I thought y'all were open for longer. Tough luck." Still, it was a relief that Rio was around. Noel didn't want to go home, and they had exhausted their other options for distractions. "Do y'all always have champagne or is it my lucky day? I don't come here enough."
