unless in need of some soothing, adelaide didn't really listen to music while walking around. her mind was constantly making its own and she liked to hear the sounds around her to counter everything else she normally heard. except, even with nature and whatever noise might linger in the distance, everything was eerily quiet for the hybrid who was currently deaf to the dead and the greenery around her. so music filled her personal silence, ear buds in while she walked around the bookstore and lack of attention causing her not to hear a voice, only noticing and jumping when tapped. ❝ sorry, am i in the way?, ❞ she asks, pausing the music and putting away her headphones.

it was odd for kai to not be sticking to his normal routine. it wasn't like he was a creature of habit, but not having the energy to workout, something he enjoyed, was bringing down his usual cheery mood. he tries to go for a run, but twenty minutes in and he's already winded, stopping to take a breath. a shadow brings his gaze upwards, forcing a smile when he sees the mermaid. ❝ i know, i know. ❞ this was probably the longest its been that he missed gym days. ❝ it's whatever is going on. i can't be out of the water for too long. ❞

so far, this was the only lead the witch had. it wasn't like portum had a normal night's sky. the town was made of magic, in no one specific place. so, which stars shone up there when the sky grew dark? it was worth looking into, in her opinion. but she was no expert on astronomy. a general knowledge, sure. she'd used the stars for spells before but knew there were others that might have a better idea. phoenixes were intriguing for one major reason, but she put personal agendas aside to serve a bigger one — for now. ❝ hi, rashmi? ❞ she approaches the other. ❝ i was wondering if there was a record of the sky activity in portum. ❞

one of hansa's favorite places to hide was the performing arts center. during the day, when nothing was on yet, the gorgon loved to find an empty practice room and sit on the floor, listen to the artists that came in there to practice for whatever upcoming performances they had. today, it was a voice that was her soundtrack while working on homework. it was an attempt at normalcy, what she finally wanted, despite having a flickering of rage inside of her, waiting for something else to turn it into a full blown forest fire. the voices quiets and hansa lifts her head in time for the door to swing open. ❝ uhh ... you sound really great, ❞ she smiles, an attempt to bypass her minor intrusion.

the tree the owl spent many nights perched upon provided some shade for the shifter during the day while he sat and read, tossing some chips at a nearby squirrel that kept approaching. he was refraining from striking up a convo with the thing, even though it wouldn't leave him alone. until a shadow made it scurry off and benny looks up, brows tugged together. ❝ watch it! you almost stepped on ... , ❞ but it was gone already. the shifter sucks his teeth. ❝ never mind. ❞

CLOSED STARTER . @mad3wells / lulu macready LOCATION . here, there, everywhere. on the street. sundown.

When she was skating with Lulu, Meena had a tendency to show off. It's because she was older, and had known the mermaid for a long time now. It was always funny, having watched a whole group of kids grow up in Portum while she stayed younger (both physically and mentally), but she had to wonder if that was what others in town had been experiencing for generations. Perhaps she'd grow numb to it too, one day. But it was still strange to reconcile with the fact that someone Meena still saw as... a kid was now a worthy companion (or, sometimes, competition) for something like street skating.

"We should try running circles round each other," Meena beamed, perhaps a little too deviously as she switched footing to skate backwards and properly face Lulu.

"Or maybe some... tricks. Things... or dance moves! Something that'll impress everyone when we're doing this,"

It seemed pretty important that they looked cool as fuck. Might get a few more people together and start a formal street-skating club.
