A recap of character experiences from March 1st through September 30th, 2019.
Enjoy!
Audrey Mitchell
Went door to door searching for leads on the matter of Emilia Zimmerman’s mysterious disappearance.
Teased with an incomplete tale of misadventures featuring drink vouchers and drag queens.
Became a roadside savior to a car broken down on the back roads between Ashland and Edgewood.
Drank more caffeine than any one person reasonably should, no doubt
Met up with Russell Hemlock to freshen up his trivia skills before another game night at their usual haunt.
Had the worst Friday ever and, after letting some thoughts about her empty house get under her skin, talked herself into adopting a puppy.
Beatrice Larson
Beatrice had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. After a horrible morning, she got knocked into and spilt her coffee all over herself. David was nice enough to give her a spare shirt and a place to decompress
Beatrice was shocked by a bench after Claudia bumped into her on the street on Friday the 13th. She has no idea how or why the bench shocked her, it shouldn’t have happened like that.
Watched Audrey get shocked by a street lamp pole before the other woman knocked into her, spilling coffee.
Caterina Singh
After finally being awarded her promotion as a journalist (to write the gossip column under a penname), Cat went out celebrating and reconnected with some townies.
During a break at the summer festival, she explored the twisty fun-house with Tristan Kong and strange, unexplainable things happened.
For Valerie Bianchi’s birthday, Caterina hosted a small slumber party.
On an off day, she was reminded of some unfortunate events and had a small break down in front of Ronan North.
During Ashland Street Days, she helped some people find eclectic items after touring the booths several times and finding many oddities (seriously, who proudly displays a bedazzled cattle skull?!)
Charlotte Kingsley
Reconnected with her sister Bridgette, Preston Hawthorne, Rosie Arceneaux, Maxine Beauchamp, Monty McAllister, and other old friends upon her arrival back in Edgewood.
Got into a car accident with Mateo Garcia during the freak whiteout.
Took pictures of the local college campuses for Karen Pierce and the PTA for a collegiate project they’re working on.
Had a tense re-introduction to Trevor during the HAGS Carnival.
Wandered into the North Star Lounge purely by chance on the night of Logan Cree’s surprise birthday party.
David Elmasri
David rescued Preston Hawthorn from public humiliation and struck up a close friendship with him.
He found Juliet Hawthorn after she let out a significant amount of blood and became suspicious of whatever was behind this.
He saw himself destroying Brewed Awakenings in anger during a vision and brought a gun into reality. He buried the gun at Pleasant Rest Cemetery before anyone else could see, although he was caught in the woods with a shovel by Simon Romero-Martin.
He has been suffering with the internal conflict of his new found ability, unsure how to keep it under control or whether it has any benefit at all that is work the risk of getting caught.
Frankie Holloway
Frankie has been watching out for other patrons at bars.
Xe ran into Monty McAllister at the grocery store and caught up with him.
On September 13th, which fell on a Friday in 2019, Frankie was plagued by visions all day and had little control over xir other powers. Xir sense of sight also faded as the day went on.
Heather Payne
Heather has been growing increasingly frustrated with her job at Hope Wellness Pharmacy and is hoping for a chance to leave.
She is taking Wu Shu Kung Fu lessons from Tristan Kong, and she meets up with her friend Claudia Rinaldi after their kickboxing lessons together. She continues to also train in potion making and magic.
She met Raiden Dryad when she attacked him outside of his club. Their next few encounters weren’t quite as hostile and they even saved a man’s life together, but there is still some tension.
Friday the 13th in September of 2019 came with some strong side effects, including Heather losing control of her powers and almost exposing magic and her experiencing some intense visions.
Maggie See
Caught up with Maxine while spending the night out and a guy wouldn’t mind his own business.
Met Tristan when he rescued her from a creeper at a bar and then helped her deal with a potential panic attack.
Baked Trevor a rather lopsided cake for his birthday.
Maggie worked at the PTA carnival at the bake sale booth and taking tickets for the fun house, which gave her a funny feeling.
Reconnected with Monty at the carnival
Worked the bake sale booth with Trevor, made fun of Karen.Simon came and gave Maggie a break from the fun house
Logan came and tried to sell her raffle tickets
Mateo came and talked to her at the fun house
Valerie tried to get her to buy things from the bake sale table
Waited on Heather when she came into the diner, misunderstood her questions about another patron as finding him attractive
Ran into Valerie while out candle shopping, the two ended up browsing for candles together
Ran into Preston at the library, they chatted for a while and he asked her about baking advice, Maggie was surprised because she’s not had the best track record in the past.
Maggie saw a ghost and could not get away from it in time, resulting in her having a panic attack and freaking out on those who tried to help her.
Met Juliet, who was asking her all sorts of questions about ghosts. It seemed like she had a loved one that she wanted to talk to again. Maggie was not here for that, she just wanted to have a panic attack in peace, thanks.
Maxine helped her back to The Underworld
Heather tried her best to fight the ghosts for Maggie
Monty, being somewhat of a pro, helped Maggie get to somewhere farther away from the ghosts and helped her through her panic attack
Tristan wanted to get Maggie to a doctor, which she refused. He stilled helped her get to somewhere safer
She totally freaked out on Logan when he doubted the existence of ghosts
Maggie went to pick up some items that she had ordered from Miss Rosie and Simon was working the counter. They noticed what she was buying and tried to offer Maggie a protection charm, but Maggie didn’t realize that it was probably a gift and refused because she didn’t have enough money to buy anything else but what she had come in for.
Maggie went to the Underworld to celebrate Maxine’s birthday. She decided to let loose and get drunk, since it’s a space that she feels safe, and she knew that Maxine wouldn’t let anything bad happen to her in the club. She also made her a somewhat lopsided birthday cake.
Maggie found an ugly cat in the dumpster at work and brought it home, much to the annoyance of Trevor.
Ran into Monty on their terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. She could tell that he wasn’t doing so hot but was refusing her help. But she also wasn’t feeling too hot so decided to take advantage of the fact that he wouldn’t turn her away when in need to keep an eye on him as well.
Maxine Beauchamp
Got some outsider opinions on what event Underworld Night Club should host next.
Due to an odd encounter in the woods, Maxine has now, semi-reluctantly, become a mentor to Phoenix Castillo.
Made a pact with Bridgette to go sober, because they both caught each other in compromising positions, but it didn’t last that long.
Conspired with Simon to change the terrible music at the carnival to something less abrasive.
Thanks to the input of others, Underworld hosted a amateur drag show for Edgewood’s Pride Week.
Her suspicions were raised after running into another potential vampire at her night club, so she is updating Ronan on their shared list of suspects.
And now she has celebrated her 33rd trip around the sun with some close (and not so close) friends.
Monty McAllister
Got turned around looking for a grocery store and ended up running into his childhood best friend, Trevor Wells.
At the HAGS Carnival, he split a funnel cake with a friend, then visited several others at the food booths. Later, he was spotted by his older sister, and consequentially made his return to Edgewood known to his family.
After a big falling out with his family, Monty had a little heart-to-heart with Ronan North in the park, and later struggled to deal with the aftermath of the disastrous familial encounter.
Met Karen Pierce while they were both fleeing his older sister in a crowded shopping mall.
During the events of Friday the 13th, he struggled to deal with an onslaught of visions throughout the day, the most notable of which featured Simon and a Change.
Phoenix Castillo
Phoenix has surprised many people on her adventures through the woods. She has made a new friend in Valerie Bianchi this way, but only thoroughly confused Tristan Kong.
She has started training her telepathy with Maxine.
She met Juliet Hawthorne at the Mystery Shack and found out that she is a vampire turned by Phoenix’s Great Uncle Leon. Phoenix is still hesitant around vampires though after some intense encounters with Logan Cree.
She has became friends with Preston Hawthorne after discovering a shared love of dance at the local library.
Raiden Dryad
Raiden and Juliet shared whiskey and exchanged taunts.
Met Caterina at Ashland Street Days and briefly discussed odd finds at the stalls.
Potentially insulted psychic werewolf Ronan North at Ashland Street Days about his father’s flannel shirts, and continued attempting to rile the wolf up.
Ran into Tristan outside the Crossroads Club, who was involved in an argument on his phone.
Had a suspicious meeting with Claudia after she barged into his club and admitted she had unestablished business with one of Raiden’s employees.
Almost beheaded Valerie with a mobile phone and had an odd conversation with them with supernatural-related jibing. Is currently attempting to suss out who and what they are at the Grille.
Was jumped by a blade-wielding Heather and came to a reluctant truce with the witch.
Tried to help Juliet hunt down Hawthorne birth records whilst acquiring his own sustainable blood supply at the hospital.
Introduced himself to Logan at the other vampire’s birthday party.
Offered Monty some guidance in choosing a dinner wine for his family dinner.
With some assistance, Raiden helped save a stranger’s life from a car accident.
Ronan North
Tracked down Wesley Callaghan with the help of his bartender, Evangeline Priestly, after Wes skipped out on another tab.
Bit the bullet and put some of his father’s old clothes up for sale during Ashland Street Days. Parting with those flannels was sweet sorrow.
Ran with Harley Chapman on a full moon.
Experienced some unusual bad luck on Friday the 13th. He lost control of his Change and turned in broad daylight while responding to his pack beta’s SOS. His other senses diminished as he found the beta and broke up an altercation between them and Simon Romero-Martin.
Russell Hemlock
At Ashland Street Day’s car show, Russell accidentally spilled ice cream on one of the cars and recruited help from others, only to find out it was Ronan’s late father’s car. Whoops.
Simon Romero-Martín
Upset a townsperson or two -and their balance- chasing after a “lucky” snail.
Volunteered as a face painter at the Have A Great Summer Carnival and made a number of the patrons’ day something truly magical.
Assisted Preston Hawthorne in ridding himself of a spell-generated doppelgänger that overstayed its welcome.
Spent every full moon diligently keeping their transformations behind lock, key, and spell…
Was interviewed by the watcher.
Bribed Monty McAllister with coffee and breakfast to hike out into the woods and help her take care of her cats.
Was rescued from having to walk their flat-tired bike home by Raiden Dryad.
Ran out of luck with their usual transformation preparations on Friday the 13th and stirred up some trouble with members of the Ashland pack.
Xavier Bennett
Talked classic cars and what their favorite decades were with Juliet Hawthorne at Ashland Street Days.
Gave Phoenix Castillo the shirt off of his back to wrap her bleeding hand after witnessing her trip in the rain, had an uncomfortable conversation about his psychic abilities.
Had dinner with Harley Chapman, but this is a weekly occurrence as she is his neighbor and one of his closest friends in Edgewood.
Served drinks to patrons such as Mateo Garcia and Bridgette Kingsley at Logan’s birthday party at the North Star Lounge.
Lamented about todays youth with David Elmasri at Brewed Awakenings when he went in for his morning coffee.
If you were a matchmaker, who would you pair together?
Oooh now that’s a difficult one, but I am game. Let’s give this a go.
First of all, the most obvious, Trevor and Karen. Love and hate are not that different. Perhaps not a long standing relationship, but, and do excuse the crassness, they could both use it (because Karen’s relationship with her husband does not scream stress relieving). Or perhaps Audrey will step up to aid Karen...either way.
Sources say that Monty and Ronan had some good bonding time in the park. And isn’t that just the most romantic thing ever?
Charlotte seems to have been charmed by Logan, and good for her. It’s important to move on from high school crushes. Perhaps she could keep him grounded, and he could help her out of her shell.
Tristan and Caterina were seen zipping around town on a motorbike, and it seems like there’s tons of chemistry there.
Then there’s the two dark and mysterious ladies around town that seem to be breaking past each other’s hardened exteriors. Heather and Evangeline may be a great fit.
Sparks may have ignited between Harley and Juliet. I think those to could be a real dynamic duo, but we’ll have to stay tuned there.
Lastly, let’s not forget the relationship that almost was with Bridgette and Ashely, before he mysteriously vanished. Don’t worry darling, you’ll find another.
I generally feel safe in Edgewood, but ever since Emilia disappeared something seems wrong. Shouldn't the police have found something by now?
Unless there’s nothing to be found. It could be that Emilia was excellent at covering her tracks when she escaped with her Juliet (as I am choosing to believe). Or, perhaps Audrey and Russell are too busy getting doughnuts together to do a thorough job. Regardless, until the police department is concerned, I will refrain from doing so, as I believe we all should.
