i’m sorry that i haven’t been around! i’ve been super sick the past few days and i’ve been sleeping all day, every day. i’m still not feeling good, so i’ll check back in a day or two.

gabriella.

gabriella laughed and smiled innocently at her sister. “i feel like it was extremely nice, well to everyone but him.” she replied with a chuckle. she pouted when her sister closed her laptop. “i have homework and classes to study for, i don’t know what a vacation really is.” she laughed.

SHE WATCHED AS THE man freaked out when he couldn’t speak. eventually the spell would need to be lifted, but perhaps he could do with a little more freaking out. “ he was probably on a business call and you have punished him for it. so now i must punish you by taking your school away. ” the hybrid grinned as she slipped the laptop into her bag. “ precisely why we deserve a vacation. ”

allie.

Giving her a guarded look, head tilted slightly back. “You looking for an adventure?” Allie asked somewhat cryptically. “Because I’m looking for a mountain climbing buddy or buddies,” the siren said chucking, “I’m sorry I thought that would be funny. The mountain claiming bit is true however I am about that jet ski life.” Allie clarified. 

THE HYBRID’S EYES LIT up more when the other mentioned mountain climbing. “ no, mountain climbing sounds amazing! climbing to the top of the island would be an amazing way to kickstart this vacation. ”

lorenzo.

      “ fuck, how did you guess? get out of my swamp. ” it was less of a command and more in jest, the lightness of his tone lending more truth to that. he’d met a few other liches in his lifetime. it wasn’t a common choice to make — sacrificing literal life for two-bit immortality that only lasted as long as the vessel sealing away your soul was safe. becoming one was no easy feat, either. in the end, the cost was high for the outcome but enzo wouldn’t change it if he could. he was silent when she spoke about her time in love, apart of him aching to understand that sort of experience but completely foreign to it all the same. love just had never been in his cards. “ was he a warrior? ” he felt as if he knew the answer to that question already, but he wanted to indulge the conversation — show the genuine interest that tinted his mind. he knew nothing of that part of living — he’d never tried, and now he barely felt human enough to try. yes, yes … oh, he was lonely. he hated that word. “ i’d love to tell you that love isn’t a measure, a comparison from one to another but … i’d be preaching about something i know nothing of. love was what a mother nurtured to her son, thrown away when he chose a forsaken existence instead of one filled with tradition. but at least you’re here to dip your toe in the water, hm? ” after all — weren’t they all? they’d be lying if they said they came for any other reason than curiosity, at the least.

“ THERE WAS JUST SOMETHING about you that screamed ogre! ” camber kept up the jesting, a smile breaking out on her lips. talking about bjorn had been hard --- still --- after over a millennium. but something about now seemed almost therapeutic. as though getting it out in the air now would help close the wound that she had left unattended all these years. “ he was. i’m a valkyrie, it was part of my duty to choose the warriors who were to die and help bring them to valhalla. except... he was valiant and we all knew his time would be soon. the souls were usually split between odin and freyja, but odin had claimed him, perhaps before he was even born as he had been destined for greatness. i couldn’t let him die, so i convinced him to run away with me. as cowardly as that sounds, it had felt right at the time. i watched him age until he eventually passed, while i stayed young. ” after her little emotional rambling session, she took a deep breath, grasping the rail as a bearing. it had definitely been more therapeutic than anything. “ it’s not so much the fear of love that plagues me. it’s more so the idea of a soulmate. i believed that bjorn was my true love, akin to a soulmate. we both risked everything for that love. to think that it wasn’t my one is scary. ”

tinsley.

“Oh sweet baby jesus, I hope we’re able to leave when we want…” Tinsley said unable to not eavesdrop on the persons outwardly thoughts. She’d expressed her own musings for her. “Honestly, I’m on the same boat as you…figuratively. But I just keep repeating what my sisters told me - ‘Tin, you gotta spread your wings. You have to see what’s out there. Maybe you’ll meet people that’ll be in your life forever. Friends for life.’ And you know I’m starting to believe it.” Tinsley paused her rapid fire speech and blinked at the other woman. “I’m rambling. Shutting up now…” she said offering her a sheepish smile.

“ OH, I’M SURE WE can. ” she shrugged off her previous words to reassure the other as she expressed the same concern. “ i’m just being over dramatic, honestly. the only real thing i’m worried about is my daughter back at home. this is the first time that i’m leaving her for an extended period of time. ” a smile appeared when she listened to the other’s words. “ you’re sisters are smart and they’re right. i am excited to see what comes of this adventure. ” it would be a miracle, though, if she came out of this with an actual soulmate. “ oh! don’t worry. speak what you want, don’t worry about rambling. ”

luna.

luna chuckled softly at what brennan said. “i’ve seem blobfish and i can agree they aren’t the prettiest sight.” she replied to him. “luckily for me i can’t turn into things so if people ask me to, they were surely be disappointed with my answer.”

“ I CAN ATTEST THAT turning into a blobfish does not make you more attractive to potential partners. ” brennan grinned as he chuckled, looking at the woman. “ consider yourself one of the luckiest people in the world. are you human, or another type of supernatural creature? ”

preston. 

Living among mostly humans for so long caused Preston to try to blend in.  Even on an island where he knew most people were supernatural beings of some sort, he found himself sitting in a coffee shop with a plain cup of coffee that he had no real intention on touching.  A newspaper had been placed on the table he’d chosen, and Preston was half-heartedly reading it when he saw someone sit down at the table adjacent to his.  “Seems a little silly to put these out, doesn’t it?” he asked, motioning to the paper.

IF NAILA LOVED ANYTHING about the mortal world, it was their drinks and cuisine. she would periodically find herself sitting down to enjoy a bite when she found a restaurant delightful. she could find herself holing up in the places throughout the island, losing time while enjoying a treat or full out dinner here and there. she had a scone on a plate this time and found a table with a nice view. upon hearing the other speak to her, her gaze falling to the paper, she laughed softly. “ people might want to keep up with what’s happened on the mainland. ”

[hcvnted]

“ IT’S BETWEEN THE OCEAN and the cuisine. ” lucas had been deliberating what he wanted to do as his first activity on the island. “ what do you reckon? ” he questioned, looking over to the other.

“ HEY! I’M MAKING CHICKEN. do you want some? ” the spirit was standing in the kitchen of the apartment, several pots and pans on the stove top and in the oven. “ oh, shit. i’m elijah, by the way. ” he introduced himself with a grin. “ i’d shake your hand, but i’m kind of a mess. ” his hands were covered in flour, he held them up as if they needed proof of his words.

[hcvnted]

“ I SUPPOSE IT’S NOT the end of the world. supernaturals and soulmates. i guess it’s not too far fetched. ” the brunette spoke up, looking around the island. she was standing on a balcony of the building where all the apartments here. it was in the back and overlooking the ocean.

bellamy.

“ you could swim. ” bell smirked at the idea of someone just wading into the water and swimming away, the anxiety of it all too much for one person. he understood that fear, had almost refused to get onto his flight, but he’d ended up here in the end. “ are you alright, though?” he sobered up a little, sitting up in his chair, glasses pushed up to make sure she was actually okay. 

ELEANOR DIDN’T WANT TO laugh at his humor, but a smile began forcing its way onto her face. “ oh, hush it. ” she playfully chastised him. “ it is not the time for cheeky humor. ” his attempt at a joke loosened her up. she shook her arms and her body, shaking out her anxieties and worries. “ i’m good. it’s time to enjoy myself. ”

[hcvnted]

laia. 

laia still didn’t exactly know what she decided to come to this island, the hybrid never had luck with anything before in her life. and she didn’t really have that much trust for other people since she knew that other people just led to laia getting hurt by one or all of them. and she had been on her own for almost a decade that she started to get use to the feeling of never having anyone in her life or anything like that. but maybe that was why she decided to come because no one should get use to a feeling of being alone.

she got to her room and placed her bags down, only to notice a note, the brunette debated a for a few minutes if she should go meet her suppose soulmate or not. but she decided that it was best to just rip the bandaid off then wait. she entered the cafe and noticed a brunette sitting by herself. “excuse me, did you leave me this note?”

EMMY BELIEVED WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN the soulmates spiel. she had grown up knowing that the supernatural existed, so soulmates wouldn’t be too far of a stretch to believe in. he parents had that movie kind of love story, and emmy longed for something like that. of course, she hadn’t been in any relationships at all; saying she was inexperienced was an understatement. 

when the other approached the table, emmy smiled wide. she stood up, raising her hand in a slight wave. “ hi! ” she tried to contain her excitement, but it slipped through. “ yes, i did. ” these words were spoken in a more calm manner, though her smile was still present. “ i’m emmeline, but please call me emmy. ” emmy held out her hand towards the other. normally she would go in for a hug, but there was something about the girl that told her to hold off on the physical contact. “ please, sit down and join me! ”

[hcvnted]

agatha. 

      “is that some new pick-up line?” the redheaded monster teased, lips curling at their corners. aggie was no stranger to the curious cats mortals could be. in fact, she rather enjoyed hanging her immortality as a string above their heads, watching them reach for it. the more desperate the more fun, in her opinion. “can’t say i’ve heard that one before, love.”

EMBARRASSMENT FLOODED THE HUMAN, evident by the redness appearing across her cheeks. “ oh... uh --- ” emmy stumbled over her words, shaking her head abruptly. “ no, it was... well, i can tell that you’re not human. i’ve really only encountered ghosts before, growing up. everyone thought i was crazy. i nearly got --- oh, sorry. ” she pressed her lips tightly shut, realizing that she was going on a ramble. an embarrassment double whammy: turning tomato red and talking nonstop. she was off to a great start.

elliana.

“i wouldn’t know, i mean this island is so beautiful i don’t know why anyone would want to leave.” elliana said honestly to eleanor. “like if you are afraid to meet who is suppose to be your soulmate, i bet you can find somewhere to hide away so you don’t have to meet them.” the woman added. she took a deep breath and said, “but if you really want to leave that bad there is probably someway for you to leave.”

“ THE ISLAND IS AMAZING. ” there was no way that eleanor could doubt that. but that didn’t mean she couldn’t feel homesick. she missed her daughter already. ever since she adopted her, she hadn’t been away from her for long. “ it’s not about finding my soulmate. it’s more about what i left at home to be here. ” 

[hcvnted]

violet.

       𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 that woman before her was having second thoughts about the decision she decided to make by agreeing to the invitation. “ hey…just try taking in a deep breath and imagine the great possibilities that can come out just by being here, “ violet offered a bit of reassurance exposed by a genuine smile. “ hmm, i don’t believe we are actually stranded here but by the means of it, we are all here for a reason right? i think it’s pretty cool how we got special invitations – what i’m saying is, make the most of it. right now is the nerves yet perhaps tomorrow you will be much more ecstatic to be here. “

ELEANOR DID AS THE other directed, taking in a big, shaky breath to fill her lungs before exhaling slowly. a few more repetitions and she no longer felt the panic that had been plaguing her moments ago. “ we are. you’re right. it’s completely fine. completely, completely fine. ” she reassured herself with a nod of her head. “ thanks for that. i’m not usually this panicky. i’ve just never really done this before. ” this being away from her daughter and vacationing in general.

[hcvnted]

lily. 

          “first time for everything, right?”   she attempted to justify, more to herself than the other as she knew she lacked experience in most things people her age would consider  fun  but the only thing she could do now was catching up and this felt like such a great opportunity.  starting to follow the other, she gave a nod of her head.   “yeah  -  i’m sure they wouldn’t have allowed it here if it wasn’t safe.”   with a smile, she tilted her head to the side.   “i’m lily, by the way.”

“ THAT’S THE SPIRIT. IF if makes you feel any better, i’m half witch and i just learned what an apothecary was after coming to the island. even though i should have already been familiar with what that is. ” ana laughed softly at herself in an attempt to make the other female feel a bit better. she walked alongside the other towards the entrance to the lazy river. she was excited for this, as part of the river ran through the beautiful forest covering part of the island. “ it’s nice to meet you lily. ” turning her head towards her, ana smiled before continuing, “ i’m anastasia. but feel free to call me ana. ”

[hcvnted]

alysra.

      “ just think of it as a vacation, ” lyss offered, watching the tension spread over the other woman like a wildfire on dry sticks. her lips pursed to keep a smirk from spreading across her face — she didn’t want to seem as if she was enjoying the other’s worry, she wasn’t, but it was cute. “ i think you should stay. i think you should enjoy the beautiful beach or maybe some nice expensive dinner, courtesy of the hotel. have a drink, relax. maybe sleep until noon tomorrow. ”

ELEANOR NODDED AT THE other’s words, calming herself down with some breathing exercises. she left out a shaky breath at the other’s words. “ that’s a good idea. soak up all the free benefits while i can; the long nap i can definitely get behind. a good fourteen plus hour nap seems appropriate. ” in a few days, she will have fallen into the excitement of the island, or possibly finding love. she just needed a few freak out days to get over first.
