LOCATION: Under the Mountain; random sitting room/lounge.

TARGET: Open to everyone!

DETAILS: Current timeline.

When approaching footfalls echoed in the room’s entrance, Seren raised a single eyebrow and tilted her head to identify the intruder. Or fellow guest, she supposed. 

Settled in an oversized armchair, with long legs draped across the arms of the seat, sat the Night Court’s Second. Grasping an old, dusty book in one hand, she peered over its rim and bored amusement into the other from the depths of her strange, cosmic gaze. She reached out with her free hand and seized a large glass of a swishing, maroon liquid. “There’s enough here for two.” Nodding her head towards the large bottle of wine in the middle of a low table.

“And if we are going to share this quiet sanctuary - then by all means - sit down.” Signalling with her glass, she gestured towards another armchair in the opposite corner, and then added in a low, smoky voice. “Do you know that there are rumours that this level of the mountain is haunted? Might want to be careful walking around these areas alone.” A low chuckle escaped her crimson lips, as they tugged upwards into a wide smirk. A challenge or a jest? Both words seemed to possess the same meaning for Seren. And she suspected this entire mountain was branded with a reputation for both the sacred and the otherworldly. The two often went hand in hand.

First Impressions // Maya x Open

For the first time since moving in, Maya stepped out of her apartment with nothing to do. She’d set up her furniture and made sure there was food in the cupboards, but sitting in there alone had already proven to be extremely boring and she was only a few days into being here in Coolsville. She pulled the door shut behind her, making sure to hear the lock catch- security was something she’d grown used to in the city and even if this town seemed like a quiet enough place, she was on guard 24/7. 

The town was nice. Dull and uneventful on the surface, but she knew it would be good for her. Soon enough she was standing outside a building, the sign reading “Rosie’s Diner.” It might be nice to explore some of the local landmarks, and to get some food in her system that hadn’t been prepared in her kitchen. 

Maya stepped inside, finding a booth quickly and sliding into it, picking up a menu from the table. A waitress approached and she decided on coffee and a sandwich, and off the employee went to put in her order. The place seemed nice, it wasn’t too busy even with a few tables full of chatting friends and couples. But the chatting wasn’t loud enough to cover the conversation being had at the counter- a stranger sat, speaking into their phone quite loudly. Maya glanced up, accidentally catching the eye of the customer making the noise just in time for their call to end. She quickly averted her eyes, pretending to be interested in the menu in front of her again. She hoped they would forgive her prying eyes, but it became clear that they wouldn’t as they approached her table. 

The brunette sucked in a breath, turning to the fresh face and smiled. “Can I help you?”

ATHLEENIA MERIET | DIANE KRUGER

✝ Age: (36) ✝ Location: Arvor ✝ Relationships: Areta Meriet, Zayne Meriet (siblings) ✝ Description: When Athleenia was fifteen, her parents were both killed. They were traveling to Byssya to visit distant relatives when the spaceship they were aboard was hijacked by terrorists. They ransomed the important passengers, but the rest were executed. Athleenia and her two younger siblings were shuffled around among their distant Arvorian relatives until Athleenia was eighteen. She’s been the only constant paternal figure in her siblings’ lives since the death of their parents and she’s done her best to raise them. Athleenia studied hard and did well at school and now she’s the Director of Security for Interplanetary Transportation. She’s always been determined that what happened to her parents, would never happen to anyone else. Athleenia is a workaholic and doesn’t have much of a social life to speak of. When she’s not working, she’s worrying about her siblings – hoping that Areta will find a new job in a better part of the city (Athleenia has compiled several lists of suitable employers but for some reason, Areta seems content to work as a waitress) and that Zayne will get hold down a job of any kind and stop spending what money he does make gambling. Still, despite her frustrations with both of them, she will always be there to help when troubles arise. OPEN.

Homework || Open

Damien pressed the palm of his hand into his eye. The library was quiet and he didn’t want to get up and ask the group at the far table if they understood what they were supposed to be doing even though he knew the guy in the middle was in his class---that was all he needed.

Had it been his old school, he would have sauntered up and had them eating out of the palm of his hand. But this was different---everyone knew things he didn’t. He was the little fish this time around. So little, he didn’t notice the shadow above him until he returned from his thoughts and jumped.

“Jesus,” he panted and glared. “You could say something instead of standing there like a creep.”

sleep is for the weak ﴾open﴿

Exhausted. Worn out. Weary. Tired. Drained …

All those things and more could be used to describe Autumn as the last parent picked up their hyperactive three year old. She let out a long and over exaggerated sigh as she practically fell into the big rocking chair that she only used for two things -- story time and nap time. Technically it wasn’t nap time, but it sure felt like it.

Her eyes were starting to get heavy, sleep was starting to take over her body.

-

How long was she asleep for? 10 minutes? 3 hours? 5 years?

In the end, it didn’t matter. The brunette had a lot to clean up and the sun was beginning to set. Falling asleep was not in her plans, but she took the cards dealt to her without any complaints. In her mind, there was no use in getting upset about the past. What happened happened and nothing could change it. She was a forgive and forget kinda gal.

It only took her half of the night but the brunette cleaned the entire daycare and prepared snacks for tomorrow. If she went to bed now, she’d have a solid 5 hours before her kids started to arrive. She just had one more thing to do and, if everything went accordingly to plan, then she’d be asleep in no time.

But before she had a chance, there was a knock on the door.

“Hello?” She opened the door just a crack, taking a peek to see who could possibly be knocking at the nursery's door in the middle of the night.

Unlucky | { open ! }

This was a very bad dream. A bad one, he had to wake up of this nightmare. Having just woke up, Kazuki remembered that the bear told about killing each other, and that threw him off-balance. His breathing got faster, his pulse beating more harder every time and his world swirled around, he was confused. "Why...Why did this have to happen?"

After some moments of screaming to his pillow, he decided to stop by to the hotel, it was a nice place, and it could help him calm down. He walked around the island to find the inn, looking at his ElectroID's map. After arriving, he looked at the person who was in the inn, he was scared, but he really doubted to be killed in the inn. "...H-Hi!" He nervously walked over to the person, taking of his black shades. "Hi, I'm Kazuki, it's...nice to meet ya." He took his hand out to the person, hoping there would not be a knife included in this.
