CLOSED STARTER . @avdaciter / aeri jeong LOCATION . the portum chronicle, aeri's first day back at work

All things considered, he'd settled in fine. If there was one thing Vin could do, it was write, and although he'd always had enough journalistic spirit that this wasn't too stark a career change, not with his experience of publishing an exclusive journal for witches or actual sometimes actual books. It's not without quirks, but he's found that it all suits him as much as it ever could, and the newspaper had really needed somebody to fill in for one of their brightest reporters while she was off turning into a vampire.

Ah, the things you consider normal in the supernatural community.

Honestly, his fresh eye might just be what the town needed, someone without skin in the game or any real connection to all the shit that'd gone down. It'd helped him gain a perspective on the town that had shut his father's family out for generations. The council seemed rather inept, and he still questioned the safety of any kind of sanctum that could've allowed such failings in the first place, but it wasn't as if Vincent knew anybody who'd been hurt in the fight. Just the cold hard facts.

Just like every other morning since he'd started in this place, Vin is already at his desk with a cup of coffee long before he officially has to start, but something (or, someone) catches his eye when she enters the room. He's well acquainted with the interns and the other staff by now, but her?

Well, it can only be Aeri Jeong. The warlock can't help but smile and sip his coffee as he studies her, the last piece of a puzzle better known as his workplace.

"Aeri, right? I don't believe we've met,"

𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐞𝐫𝐢 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐞.  a  belated  birthday  gift. @avdaciter​

ooc : bru was the cutest and sent this to me/adelaide a couple of weeks ago, but i keep forgetting to post it! anyway, this made me smile so much, so sending so much love to my babies, bru and aeri. 

“I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to give you one big hug in person. I’m also sorry I’m a little late, but there was a grumpy baker responsible for these, and I needed to make sure I wouldn’t bite him. Lucky for me, I actually manage to convince him to make my sweet girl these.

Happy Birthday, Ade! You deserve the world! Unfortunately, I couldn’t be of as much help as I hoped to be, but you can still count on me to give you tips about the other side. Don’t ever dim your light, okay? Here’s a little Derpy I made for you!

Love,

Aeri.

P.S. I promise to stop by as soon as I feel a little more confident in myself. Love you lots! Text me if you need anything, okay? And check your phone more often because I’ve sent you tons of memes already.

hansa had been taking it easy as much as she could without going stir crazy. it wasn't just her shoulder she was worried about, but that didn't make sitting around that much easier. the damsel thing never quite fit her well and she had trouble letting people help her. linus was good at getting through that but needing it so much more now kind of pissed her off. she tried to do what she could to help others but knew it was kind of pointless until she had both arms again. she could, at the very least, spend some time with those she cared about, rory being amongst the top of her mental list. she'd seen her briefly after leaving the clinic, but a proper sit down was necessary, over a week after the attack. she uses her good arm to lift leo and kiss his cheek before handing him to rory. ❝ take him. we've been couped up for days. ❞ said with dramatic exaggeration, but she's trying to keep things light and funny for leo. ❝ your guard dragon scared the shit out of me by the way. ❞ her swear gets a look from leo. ❝ bill me later. ❞

closed starter for : kareem howard / @avdaciter where : town square.

charvitha really did love an 'i told you so', moment. maybe the council wasn't behind everything, but they certainly weren't who they pretended to be. this town wasn't what it promised, either. but in the midst of everything, the siphon left her personal feelings buried. for now. bisma and fang were always by her side and the young girl had seen quite enough of what her mother could do. she didn't need to know the monster lurking within charvitha that well. how she ever made such an earnest child was still a mystery, bisma pulling her wagon through the messy streets with fang by her side. she had such determination, vitha couldn't help the smile she wore. it was wiped away, noticing kareem in the distance. bisma seemed to notice too and waves as they near him. she gives vitha a questioning glance. ❝ be careful with his leg, ❞ she gives bisma a nod and the girl takes off, with fang a soft trot at her side. she hugs the other witch on their good side. 'we're bringing coffee and snacks to the clinic. want some?' charvitha sighs as she nears and gives bisma a gentle smile. ❝ how about you give us a few minutes and then pour us both some? ❞ it felt odd to be standing out there, the reminder of the bloodshed still everywhere. ❝ how's theo? ❞ maybe he could see she wasn't the enemy anymore, they just had some slight ... differences.

finally, she was able to leave. adelaide kept just how much moving around actually hurt to herself, mouthing an enthusiastic 'not bad' when asked by some of the nurses, forcing a smile that seemed so natural because it was always there. once they left she could relax again, eyes shutting tightly until she tried to snap back into i'm fine mode, standing up straight when the door opened. oh, aurora. still adelaide fought showing she was in pain when waving, mouth lifting in a smile that never quite reaches her eyes. rory was on adelaide's list of people she needed to find out about. she heard about her and her sisters — juni is always so sweet when she sees her, there's a little ache to find out how the gorgons all are. her arms wrap around rory when she approaches but ade can't hold back the raspy squeak of pain. she grabs her phone when pulling back and types. kiyan? that was his name, right? they were running out together and she hadn't seen him since, but she saw him with rory before so she knew they were friends. your sisters? your family? she hands over the phone and then speaks, again her normally light and almost sing-songy voice coming out scratchy. ❝ they're okay? ❞

benny knew he told the gorgon no a million times and yet always knew when it was coming. it was actually kind of nice, having someone that saw something in his passion and efforts, regardless of the surliness that came from him whenever she began again. this night was different, though. when she called about needing help with something, he knew it was a rouse; a way to get him in private so she could start her nonsense. ❝ don't even start with whatever bullshit you came up with, ❞ he gives her a pointed look while walking in, carrying a couple of bags. ❝ actually, you can. ❞ there's a glint of mischief in the shifter's eyes, wondering what she had to say, this time, anyway. ❝ but, while you give your little speech, i'm cooking and you're eating. that, or i'll go. ❞

yong sun didn't need to be anywhere for hours, the sun had barely fully risen yet. so of course the dragon was painting, no noises bothering him, only surrounded by the gentle sounds, crickets and rustling, in his garden. surely there were others walking about portum, creatures of all times living there. but in his own personal sanctuary, his loved ones were sound and sunni wasn't expecting anyone else for a couple of hours, at least. a new scent interrupts his senses, pulling him from the canvas in front of him, to follow the scent of dried fruit and green tea. he looks down one of the flower less paths to see aurora walking towards him, saucer in hand. ❝ could i convince you to sit for five minutes?, ❞ he asks while taking the teacup from her, cupped in a paint stained hand and sipping with a deep hum. ❝ are you having trouble sleeping? ❞ he makes room, pats a spot on the grass in attempt to have her stay for a bit. its too quiet for rory, but sunni had always enjoyed the peace and quiet — once he got used to it and it wasn't so jarring. but instead of waiting for the gorgon, he pushes into his free hand and stands, putting an arm around his oldest and dearest friend, leading her back inside. ❝ i can help if you're worried you'll wake sol. ❞

sasha didn't mind working alone, they did like to have someone to bounce ideas off of from time to time. however, cars? pretty simple for the genius. they still didn't like being alone — not in portum, at least. but they were at the shop by themselves for the moment, blasting music to keep their busy mind quieted while scribbling out some plans. even with their senses, they get so wrapped up they don't hear someone approach until they're in front of the desk. sash lets out a little scream before turning the music down. ❝ i don't think i can have a heart attack anymore, but you almost gave me one! ❞ their head shakes, eventually giving a nervous smile. ❝ so what can i do for ya? ❞
