this was the perfect chance for katherine to come back, making a splash at big events was her thing. she wouldn’t ruin it because she did support wyatt, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t have fun, right? she walked inside, immediately charming a man into fetching her a drink and the glass was brought to her lips as she drank from the red wine. it was amazing, she hadn’t been able to truly taste something in a very, very long time. “let the games begin.” she said mostly to herself.
Event 01 - Come as you are ; as a friend, as a known enemy. (II/III)
Surprise. That is such a strange emotion, isn’t it? Some people were happy to be surprised by a calm and peaceful atmosphere, others were disappointed. There were people that could not seem to let loose and enjoy themselves... and then there were those who believed that this would be the perfect opportunity to strike.
Residents? You are in for a surprise that is not going to please any of you.
The glorious lights that filled the palace with an illusion of warmth and comfort begin to fade into nothing. Everything goes black. Chatter of discomfort and shrieks fill the ballroom as the music dies down and - in spite of the darkness - you can see them. A group of supernatural hunters - ready for the kill. The doors are locked and waves of panic spread through the air.
Are you prepared? Who can be trusted? Was this Wyatt’s plan or is our boyking innocent? Whatever you do, you might want to be careful. Some darkness was built to last.
The second part of the event begins now.
You can include the new situation in your current threads, just make sure the timing makes sense. If you prefer to post new starters you are allowed to, but please be mindful and don’t post one for all of your characters at the same time.
Plot shuffles can be found under the read more. If you have any questions about this feel free to message us, or go straight ahead and contact your partner to start those threads. Have fun!
The following pairs and scenarios were assigned via randomizer.
Henry + Chris: Left, right straight ahead. There’s no way out. Your muses are stuck in the Labyrinth behind the palace. Whether the two of them went there together or bumped into each other is up to you. The Labyrinth is currently full of hunters. What are your muses going to do? Camp it out? Find a creative way to hide? Run? @oflostmeaning, @ofprodigalson
Elijah + Amara: I’m fading. One of your muses has been injured by one of the hunters. Badly. They need help, but it’s going to slow the uninjured muse down. What are you going to do? Leave the liability behind? Take care of them? @elijahs-reddoor, @ofasphyxia
Klaus + Skye: I can be your hero, baby. Either one or both of your muses attempt to stop the hunters together. What kind of a plan are you going to come up with? Is it going to work or is it going to backfire? @offragmentary, @hybridskye
Tyler + Hope: I wish there was another way out. Your muses ended up in the same room when the chaos began and as soon as one of them tried to leave they realized that the doors are locked. Magic isn’t working so what is going to happen? Will you support each other - or will you tear each other apart? @notyourlittlcbitch, @thriceamonster
Micah + P.J. : Why must we always struggle so? One of your muses is having a really hard time controlling their supernatural instincts. Everything feels heightened and they are right on the edge. Is the other muse going to talk them down or are they going to encourage the bad behavior to create even more chaos? @micahandrsn, @cvpidwtch
Laura + Caroline: Girls just wanna have fun. One of the two is completely drunk and has absolutely no idea what’s going on. Will the other muse rush to their help? Do they have the patience to make sure both of them stay safe? @ofviolentdelight, @missneurotic
It was getting easier... sorting through the chaotic mess, getting to the injured and the terrified, getting them to hiding spots that’d give them a chance to counter-attack or see their assailants coming. That was in itself a grim thought, but Juliette considered it a win that in spite of the triggering elements she’d managed somehow to keep her head above the water, one step ahead from her PTSD. What other choice did she have? She couldn’t stand idly by or cower in a corner as innocent people got slaughtered like the hunters were shooting at fish in a barrel. She tried to focus, to give herself drive like a dog to a bone, and at first she nearly didn’t notice the familiar scent that warmly tingled her nose. The hybrid was busy literally and figuratively dodging stray bullets that weren’t even particularly aimed at her - she had thus far been discreet enough to avoid drawing attention. Those years of tracking and hunting with her family were serving her startling well (and who would’ve known the skills that made her a good hunter were probably saving her life now as the hunted?), but as she got closer to the source, her one-track mind seemed to lose focus. Unmistakable. “Laura?,” she whispered her eyes scanning the darkness searching for the one person she’d returned to this town for.
Event 01 - Come as you are ; as a friend, as a known enemy. (III/III)
There were a lot of people that expected bloodshed when they received Wyatt’s invitation to the ball, but did anyone truly expect this? The night had been going so well.. It seemed strange that the host would purposely bring hunters into the palace and so, some guests started to see what the man had tried to tell them all along: Perhaps the so called monsters weren’t the real monsters. Perhaps they shouldn’t be forced to hide, when the cruelty of man could easily exceed their own. Others felt like the night proved what they believed before: That his exposure caused them to be more endangered. That thousands of creatures would die for nothing, because of him.
No matter what you believe in, mundanes and supernaturals suffered great loss that night. It pains us to say that this is nothing less than the beginning of it.
As the lights came on and people finally managed to push through the locked doors, the chaos slowly but surely died down. Everyone tried to get out as fast as possible, but those Demons and Angels that were capable of it and paid enough attention noticed them: Reapers. It was nothing too unusual - they were bound to be there, but not all of them were doing their jobs. A few of them watched with dark expressions, dissatisfied with tonight’s outcome as they were hoping for a different death.
That of Wyatt Halliwell and his loved ones.
It has been their goal ever since he stopped the Witches from closing the doors to the other dimensions, but there was not that much they could do. Until now. Before they killed the Coven that started the mess, they forced them to create a spell that allowed them to interact with all beings, whether they are on the brink of death - or not.
This night has been their warning, but they are ready to take a different course of action now.
For now... You should all rest your heads, lick your wounds and reconsider whose side you are on.
But be careful Mystic Falls... If you start to make new friends they may not be who you think they are and they may not mean well either.
In that sense? Good night, sleep tight, and don’t let the dead bite.
This concludes our first event and we hope you enjoyed it.
You can finish event threads if you would like, but please don’t start any new ones.
From now on reapers are available and very much wanted.
If you wish to switch your alignment toward Wyatt let us know!
You should note; only angelic and demonic beings were able to see the Reapers.
Everybody else, you should be unaware of who is behind the night. Whether it was Wyatt acting with the hunters, or whether they came of their own accords.
Event 01 - Come as you are ; as a friend, as a known enemy.
You see, the residents of Mystic Falls were wary about Wyatt Halliwell the second he arrived in town - and it only got worse after he revealed the existence of supernatural beings. People started to roam the streets on high alert, but things seemed to stay quiet and so they began to wonder. Was it only the calm before the storm?
Whether you stand behind Wyatt’s decision or you feel like he is going to be a threat to the entire world, you better prepare yourself for a night to remember. You have been invited to attend the event of the year:
Wyatt himself decided to throw a ball at his freshly built palace and while some residents are fearful that it might be a trap, there is one thing that has taken the upper hand: CURIOSITY. The residents are ready to get a good look at the man that changed the world and his formal invitation assured everyone that he meant no harm. Will he be able to keep his word?
And how are other creatures of all kinds going to react in such a tense situation? You are about to find out. Walk right in and let the adventure begin.
The event will begin at 4pm EST.
Participation is mandatory, but your character’s motivation for showing up is up to you.
Your characters are allowed to bring a date, so feel free to give us some crazy constellations and thread that conversation/text history out.
If you want to post an outfit for this event, please tag it as #df:attire.
Starters should be tagged as #df:starter and #df:event 01. Important: The starter rule will not apply for the duration of the event, but if you play multiple characters please be mindful and do not post three at once.
You don’t have to put former interactions on hold, but please do not start any new ones after the event begins.
This is part 1 of 3 - so more details will be released in the next part and it will be concluded with a plot drop during the last.
“Nah it’s... just a little numb I’m sure it’s-” she grimaced, the air draining out of her lungs in an instant. “... Probably broken.” She had hoped the initial lack of sensation and inability to move it was just the shot of adrenaline from the impact, and the radiating kind of pain had made it difficult to locate the real damage. But the sharp, soul-ripping agony she felt throughout her entire arm when she attempted to lift it, told a different story. She looked up at the other girl who couldn’t be more than a couple of years younger than herself, suddenly hesitating. The Moon had been full less than two days ago, its power still resonating in Juliette’s bones. The blonde would know something was up very soon, as her injury would heal quickly... (apparently not quickly enough however) “It um...” She cleared her throat. “I’ve come back from worse,” she drawled in her Louisiana accent. “I’ll be fine in a min’t.”
