“I’m actually working this event,” PJ said, pointing to the badge on his arm indicating that he was security. It was just an extra gig and an excuse to be at the event so people didn’t pester him to go but having an excuse to not take part, “So before you try to convince me to take part in any of...” He waved his hand in the general direction of the party, “This. You’ve come to the wrong person.”

Although the sun was shining brightly, Lily didn’t have her usual pep in her step. She walked slowly, lost in thought, on the path towards the fair. It was Founder’s Day and the town usually holds a three day celebration in honor of it. Although she’s been back in Northknot for almost five years now, she hasn’t been to one since her parents used to force her to tag along before she left for college. Big events like this still made her nervous... her mind kept going back to the day she went missing. However, she was rain clan leader and had to show her face. She’d be criticized if she hadn’t. It was Founder’s Day after all. She paused, coming out of her thoughts, hearing rushed footsteps and turned around to see who was also on her path. She smiled at the familiar face and waved, “Hey. Are you on your way to the festivities too?”

“I always love this event,” Natalie stated as she walked through the town square, enjoying the fair and atmosphere. Of course, the vampire probably said that about every event. But celebrating the Blackthorns and the place they had founded that she now called home was definitely at the top of the list. It was her safe haven and the place she loved most in the world. How could she not be happy about celebrating it? “I want to ride all the rides!”

"I can’t believe it’s been five hundred and fifteen years,” she said, sipping her champagne. “It surely is a reason to celebrate... but with everything going on, I don’t really think this is the brightest idea.” She missed four hundred and forty-four of these celebrations so she thought showing her face would be a good thing but it only made her want to isolate more. “Cheers though. It’s a celebration none the less.”

Astra Grimsbane hated to lose. It didn’t matter whether it was a simple guessing game or a massive competition. She was not a graceful loser, which was why she would do anything to avoid it; that was including cheating. She had no qualms against using her strengths to help her win, even if they weren’t totally fair. She was actually excited about the rides, but it was the games that really pushed her buttons. It’s how she found herself standing in front of a booth with balloon darts, trying for the sixth time to win the plush snake hanging among the other prizes. It was no longer fun, and she wasn’t playing by the rules anymore. Using her magic, as soon as the dart left her fingers, she lead it to hit the balloon she needed, doing the same with the darts that followed. When the person running the game accused her of cheating, she continued with the use of magic. Taking the plush snake down with magic, she let it wrap around her shoulders before controlling the darts to point at the person. “You really shouldn’t accuse me of cheating, it’s not a good idea. Now, I believe a congratulations is in order.” Astra turned, the darts dropping to the ground as she moved to walk away, only to come face to face with one of Northknot’s other residents. She could see the look on their face, obviously seeing the whole thing. “What? I wanted the snake and just used my skills to get it. They make these games too bloody hard.”

Alec made her way through the crowd of townspeople looking for the younger faes in her clan who had convinced her to come out here in the first place. She was coming up short in her search until she looked up in the direction of the sun. She found a swarm of fairies flying around in the sun’s rays. She felt a nudged and a slight push as she stared off in their direction. “Sorry,” she said for stopping mid-walk in a group of people. “I was just looking for my dates but it seems as though they are all occupied.”

Alex strolled in calmly, as if he hadn’t been gone for a while. It was simply how Alex was. He’d leave for a while when things got too much, and then return when he felt ready. He was glad to have come back during the founder’s day activities. He flinched slightly when he felt his arm get grabbed, albeit it being a gentle grab. He turned. “Hey, what’s up?” he asked, turning to the other.

“I didn’t dress like this to stand on the sidelines but even that’s preferable right now to your... ridiculously clumsy ostrich feet!” Iris couldn’t help but speak out in sheer frustration as her toes felt on the last lives thanks to her dance partner. The male stuttered but she held a hand up to silence him. “Please, save your breath. I’d rather remain ignorant to your idiocy and at least pretend you are both pretty to look at and vaguely intelligent.” She finished as she made her way to one of the seats perched around the edges of the dancefloor and sat down, carefully removing one heel at a time to rub her abused limbs.
