The sun was just beginning to slip below the horizon and Clara was already on her third beer of the day, sipping without intent as she observed the scene. This was the first bonfire she'd opted to attend, despite living in Reed for a few years. She wasn't much one for large social events, or social events at all, but it wasn't like she had anything better to do. Hopefully it'd be a better night than watching whatever reality TV show had been on. Following tradition, she had brought something to burn - the bills that had sunk her bank account and left her nearly broke. Maybe tonight would be what she needed to get her mind off that, or things in general. Life had become too monotonous.

𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨: ignacio finally decides to burn what’s left of his father’s items in his house and he’s feeling a bit more relieved, but ridolfo’s reputation is still weighing heavy on me 

" the first time i came to this i was twenty-six years old and i could have sworn hearing some of the elder folk saying i brought a knife or something. ” he tosses a black hoodie into the open flame and steps away a bit. he’s better with moist temperatures, used to working in a flower shop. to be honest, the fire kind of scares him, so he makes sure not to wear anything too flammable or dangly. “ a part of me wonders what all of this does to the ecosystem, but then again i don’t have all of the brainpower to put together that diagram in my hide. ” ignacio snickers softly while turning away from the flames, deciding to focus on the other person better. that seems to help. “ can i get you anything to eat or drink ? figured i might as well stay here for a bit and some company is always nice. ” even though he looks like a loner from his all black gear to his tattoos.

𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨: lázaro has been keeping mostly to himself during the bonfire, but at the risk of not wanting to be blame for any mishaps he tries to get closer to the crowds and mingle a bit

" y’know, if you were drinking coffee right now i could have tried predicting your future. ” lázaro walks up and stands next to them, carrying a couple of dead herbs in his hands to burn. he looks away from the source of the flame and over to them, not quite smiling just yet. “ unless of course you’re too afraid to know what the future has in store for you. i just hope that you don’t yell out town brujo and start a witch hunt after me. ” one hand moves up to tug on the strap of his bag. he wrecks of herbs since he has just come from the small shop, crushing or burning them for different things. “ so is this what all of you do for fun ? it’s not much different from what i like to do. ” after eleven years this seems commonplace, but string together words in another language while doing this and people think you’re cursing them.

    lillian  would  turn  up  as  she  did  every  year  ,  even  after  a  defeat  .  it  was  some  normalcy  in  all  of  the  chaos  .  as  she  greeted  people  ,  her  eyes  would  wander  off  as  she  tried  to  locate  her  daughter  (  that  was  probably  up  to  no  good  )  but  there  was  a  sense  of  worry  for  her  state  as  well  as  the  danger  that  was  around  them  .  nursing  a  small  drink  in  one  hand  ,  the  woman  sighed  and  turned  towards  the  closest  person  .  “this  is  exactly  what  we  needed  ,  as  long  as  everyone  stays  close  .  it  really  feels  like  a  community  again .”  she  mused  .  “how  have  you  been  dealing  with  everything?”  she  would  rather  ask  others  about  their  experience  than  disclose  her  true  feelings  towards  it  all  .
