EDGEWOODRP INCORRECT QUOTES [22/ ?? ]

Phoenix & Griffin Castillo

[edgewoodrp]

The Wolf Moon event has officially concluded.

While more information has been gathered on these mysterious beasts that terrorized the town and presented to the Supernatural City Council, they are no closer to being caught. One thing we may be certain of, though, is that Edgewood hasn’t seen the last of these fiends...

Below the cut is a summary of the events and encounters that took place over the weekend of the Wolf Moon. 

In the days leading up to and during the full moon...

Frankie Holloway and Monty McAllister had a series of bizarre visions alluding to possible events taking place during the course of the Wolf Moon.

Friday, January 10th

Around 2:30PM an unusual howl was heard in The Outskirts. Not long after that, something attempts to enter the Mystery Shack. After the tour concludes, Phoenix Castillo discovers tracks around the building that head toward town.

As night falls and the moon rises higher, Monica Rodriguez took to the woods of The Outskirts. Here, she discovered a trail of red and blue colored tracks that smelled like blood and some kind of chemical. The tracks led towards town.

Around midnight, Bridgette Kingsley witnesses a cat-like creature attack Dr. Kenneth Blackthorne in the parking structure of Edgewood Memorial Hospital. While the security guard discovers the body and calls for a lockdown, a howl echoes from the city and the cat vanishes into the shadows.

At the same time, Charlotte Kingsley is run off the road near Old Edgewood by a massive wolf-like creature. She’s injured in the accident and makes it over the town line in time for the Veil to prevent the monster from mauling her. The same howl from the city draws the beast’s attention and it takes off toward it.

Saturday, January 11th

At 12:41AM, Monty McAllister finds Charlotte’s car and takes her to seek medical treatment. Due to the lockdown at Edgewood Memorial Hospital, they are rerouted to BHM.

Having heard the howl earlier in the night, around 3:00AM Logan Cree goes out to investigate the area. He covers from the North Star Lounge in Uptown to the Downtown area, and eventually discovers two bodies in an alley by the vampire bar Last Drop. One is still alive, but after touching Logan, she turns into a large wolf-like creature and attacks him. He’s left alive but injured, and with an unusual psychic connection to the beast’s other victims. Having sustained what he believed to be a werewolf bite, he seeks treatment at BHM.

The body of Nora Li-Marin is discovered around 4:00AM by police.  

At 5:00AM, the lockdown is lifted at Edgewood Memorial Hospital and patients, visitors, and staff are allowed to leave.

Later that morning, Bridgette Kingsley relays what she saw at the hospital to the SCC’s witch representative, Rose-Marie Arceneaux. While there, she receives a phone call from her mother and learns of Charlotte’s accident.

Beatrice Larson gets the feeling something is following her, but every time she looks there’s nothing there.

Monica enlists Simon Romero-Martin and Ronan North to help her follow the trail she discovered in the woods the night before. Following the tracks, they discover two more sets of tracks heavily intersecting with the original. All three have a chemical smell, but a slightly different scent below that. The trail leads them to the Olympus subdivision and the golf club, both deep in Callaghan Pack territory. They inform Pete Callaghan of their discovery, and he takes the investigation from there.

After a morning of restfulness and healing, Charlotte gets restless and sneaks out of her room at BHM and goes exploring. She finds Logan Cree is also checked in and the two compare the events from the night before. Upon learning of Logan’s apparent connection to the creature, Charlotte attempts to scry for its location.

After all the... excitement of the night before, Xavier Bennett forgot to take his medication. As he goes about his day, he feels a presence following him as he runs errands and opens up the North Star Lounge for the evening. He serves a young woman asking odd questions about the attack the night before and swears he recognizes her from somewhere. It’s later he realizes he saw her in that day’s newspaper.

Sunday, January 12th

The body in the alley is officially identified as Nora Li-Marin. Publicly, her death is ruled as an overdose; the supernatural community know differently and host a vigil for her.

Late Sunday evening, Ernie Vesper was found critically injured in his warded bunker in the abandoned Olympus subdivision. He was found by Liam and Fiona Callaghan after Monica’s crew put the pack on the case.

Despite treatment of human and supernatural origin, Kenneth Blackthorne is unresponsive and his condition continues to deteriorate.

What We Know:

Three different creatures were involved in the attacks. While they resemble werebeasts, none of them were recognizable members of Edgewood were-packs or neighboring packs.

It’s likely they are not werebeasts at all, as the full moon did not seem to dictate their Changes, and their bite did not kill a vampire.

Two of the creatures resembled wolves, but larger and much larger than a normal wolf. The third resembled a large jaguar. 

The jaguar is able to disappear into shadows, but also felt rage, relief, and fear while it carried out its attack.

The smaller of the two wolves was human before the touch of a supernatural turned her into her beastly form. She was fearful and apologetic before Changing quickly.

The larger of the two wolves is massive in size and seems to relish in the thrill of the chase.

The only known victims of these creatures’ attacks have been other supernatural beings. Christian Valentine, chief of police and SCC werewolf rep, still believes there may be other victims out there that haven’t been found yet.

Known victims include Dr. Kenneth Blackthorne (a warlock; deceased), Charlotte Kingsley (a witch; alive), Nora Li-Marin (a shifter; deceased), and Ernie Vesper (a shifter; alive).

Since the night of the Wolf Moon, no new attacks have occurred. Everyone injured by the beasts was attacked Friday night or Saturday morning.

[edgewoodconfessions]

1. Do you ever wish you weren’t a Hawthorne?

That is a very personal question. I, I think that my family is very complicated. And there are always going to be times where I’d verbalize it, but I don’t think I actually mean it. I’m pretty sure everyone has had a moment where they wish they weren’t part of their family. Is this going on record?

2. Are you hoping to leave Edgewood one day, or do you plan to establish roots here?

I don’t think I can ever move away from this town. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I did move away for undergrad. Yet, I just ended up back in Edgewood. I don’t think my story ended here yet and it’s just the world telling me I need to be here a little bit longer. There’s so much I can do to improve the town… It would be nice to start new somewhere else though. Start fresh.

3. How do you feel about the way things are going between you and Bridgette? Do you ever worry that your friendship is misinterpreted?

Bridgette and I have always been complicated. Of course, I’ll always love her and drop everything if she needed me. That sounds a bit cliché, but it’s true. Do I love her in the same way as we did in high school? No. Although, I do wish we would speak to each other a little more. It’s hard when you’re both adulting and living two different lives. I wouldn’t say I’m worried about misinterpreting our friendship. Bridgette is a pretty blunt person. If she had something to say she would have said it. We never kept secrets from each other.

4. Speaking of friendships, do you and Phoenix ever plan to dance in a live performance together?

Haha, I don’t know about that. I tend to just dance by myself in my little corner of the library or in my studio. I hate the attention when it comes to public performances. And playing in a sport is completely different because you don’t have to remember choreographed dances. You just kinda have to trust your instincts and vaguely know the game plan.

5. Is there anything you regret not saying to someone that you wish you could go back in time and say?

I’ll miss you and I am only phone call away. Please don’t be a stranger.

Aesthetic for Phoenix Castillo in Edgewood RP

[phoenix-castillo]

Edgewood Challenge: Relationships

Phoenix didn’t recognize her first few crushes as such until years later. Her first crush was on Julie in 6th grade in Dallas, Texas. She thought that her friend Julie was very pretty and always liked giving her hugs, but Phoenix just interpreted this behavior to her own touchy-feely-ness and how much she liked being around people. That crush went nowhere, and a few weeks later Phoenix left town never to see Julie again. She was very sad, but this was not a new experience for her. It was not until late in the 7th grade that she realized what she felt for her classmate Maria was more than a desire to be close friends. Since her closest friend at that school in Peoria, Illinois, was a boy and she liked hanging out with him too, Phoenix decided that she was bisexual. 

When George asked her out in eighth grade in a small town in Kentucky, Phoenix said yes. She didn’t have strong feelings for him, but she could see herself liking him. After a few weeks of dating, with Phoenix already feeling lukewarm about the romantic side of their relationship, he kissed her. She waited a few days before breaking up with him, and it didn’t go badly as far as middle-school break-ups go. She didn’t tell him though the real reason she broke up with him; she was sure now that she was a lesbian. 

Phoenix kept her family updated on developments in her perception of her sexuality, and they were always supportive. She always told Griffin about her crushes, and would help him out with his sometimes, getting a read on their minds. She was never really an open lesbian though because after some bad reactions at a couple different schools she realized how deep homophobia ran in some circles, and she didn’t want to be known exclusive as the “Hispanic lesbian girl”. She never really hid her sexuality though from her friends in Edgewood and was openly gay once she was there for good. 

Phoenix dated a couple girls in high school, but moving around so much made it hard for Phoenix to form long-term friendships or romantic relationships. Her dates have led to kissing and plenty of cuddling, but never as far as sex. Phoenix’s mind reading powers have made it easy for her to find out what her partners want in their relationship, but she has to be careful to not be too obvious in reading people’s minds. It caused quite a bit of drama in 11th grade when she heard her girlfriend Sarah-Ann think about how she was cheating on her. 

After that fiasco and her abandonment by her father, Phoenix was really not looking to forming any new romantic relationships during her year of high school spent in Edgewood. Some small part of her feared being left by a partner after she had been left by her father, and she was still in the mindset of her whole life that she could never stick around long. She did finally open up in college to date another girl, and that relationship lasted for months longer than any other relationship she had been in.  However, they broke up near the end of freshman year after drifting apart. It wasn’t quite a mutual break-up, but Phoenix, while more attached to their relationship than Christina had been, didn’t quite find it worth the effort to fight for it. 

Now, two years later, Phoenix feels that she could handle another relationship, but is staying guarded. She doesn’t think she could handle being left like with her father.

A recap of character experiences from March 1st through September 30th, 2019.

Enjoy!

Audrey Mitchell

Went door to door searching for leads on the matter of Emilia Zimmerman’s mysterious disappearance.

Teased with an incomplete tale of misadventures featuring drink vouchers and drag queens.

Became a roadside savior to a car broken down on the back roads between Ashland and Edgewood.

Drank more caffeine than any one person reasonably should, no doubt

Met up with Russell Hemlock to freshen up his trivia skills before another game night at their usual haunt.

Had the worst Friday ever and, after letting some thoughts about her empty house get under her skin, talked herself into adopting a puppy.

Beatrice Larson

Beatrice had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. After a horrible morning, she got knocked into and spilt her coffee all over herself. David was nice enough to give her a spare shirt and a place to decompress

Beatrice was shocked by a bench after Claudia bumped into her on the street on Friday the 13th. She has no idea how or why the bench shocked her, it shouldn’t have happened like that.

Watched Audrey get shocked by a street lamp pole before the other woman knocked into her, spilling coffee.

Caterina Singh

After finally being awarded her promotion as a journalist (to write the gossip column under a penname), Cat went out celebrating and reconnected with some townies.

During a break at the summer festival, she explored the twisty fun-house with Tristan Kong and strange, unexplainable things happened.

For Valerie Bianchi’s birthday, Caterina hosted a small slumber party.

On an off day, she was reminded of some unfortunate events and had a small break down in front of Ronan North.

During Ashland Street Days, she helped some people find eclectic items after touring the booths several times and finding many oddities (seriously, who proudly displays a bedazzled cattle skull?!)

Charlotte Kingsley

Reconnected with her sister Bridgette, Preston Hawthorne, Rosie Arceneaux, Maxine Beauchamp, Monty McAllister, and other old friends upon her arrival back in Edgewood.

Got into a car accident with Mateo Garcia during the freak whiteout.

Took pictures of the local college campuses for Karen Pierce and the PTA for a collegiate project they’re working on.

Had a tense re-introduction to Trevor during the HAGS Carnival.

Wandered into the North Star Lounge purely by chance on the night of Logan Cree’s surprise birthday party.

David Elmasri

David rescued Preston Hawthorn from public humiliation and struck up a close friendship with him.

He found Juliet Hawthorn after she let out a significant amount of blood and became suspicious of whatever was behind this.

He saw himself destroying Brewed Awakenings in anger during a vision and brought a gun into reality. He buried the gun at Pleasant Rest Cemetery before anyone else could see, although he was caught in the woods with a shovel by Simon Romero-Martin.

He has been suffering with the internal conflict of his new found ability, unsure how to keep it under control or whether it has any benefit at all that is work the risk of getting caught.

Frankie Holloway

Frankie has been watching out for other patrons at bars.

Xe ran into Monty McAllister at the grocery store and caught up with him. 

On September 13th, which fell on a Friday in 2019, Frankie was plagued by visions all day and had little control over xir other powers. Xir sense of sight also faded as the day went on. 

Heather Payne

Heather has been growing increasingly frustrated with her job at Hope Wellness Pharmacy and is hoping for a chance to leave.

She is taking Wu Shu Kung Fu lessons from Tristan Kong, and she meets up with her friend Claudia Rinaldi after their kickboxing lessons together. She continues to also train in potion making and magic. 

She met Raiden Dryad when she attacked him outside of his club. Their next few encounters weren’t quite as hostile and they even saved a man’s life together, but there is still some tension. 

Friday the 13th in September of 2019 came with some strong side effects, including Heather losing control of her powers and almost exposing magic and her experiencing some intense visions.

Maggie See

Caught up with Maxine while spending the night out and a guy wouldn’t mind his own business.

Met Tristan when he rescued her from a creeper at a bar and then helped her deal with a potential panic attack.

Baked Trevor a rather lopsided cake for his birthday.

Maggie worked at the PTA carnival at the bake sale booth and taking tickets for the fun house, which gave her a funny feeling.

Reconnected with Monty at the carnival

Worked the bake sale booth with Trevor, made fun of Karen.Simon came and gave Maggie a break from the fun house

Logan came and tried to sell her raffle tickets

Mateo came and talked to her at the fun house

Valerie tried to get her to buy things from the bake sale table

Waited on Heather when she came into the diner, misunderstood her questions about another patron as finding him attractive

Ran into Valerie while out candle shopping, the two ended up browsing for candles together

Ran into Preston at the library, they chatted for a while and he asked her about baking advice, Maggie was surprised because she’s not had the best track record in the past.

Maggie saw a ghost and could not get away from it in time, resulting in her having a panic attack and freaking out on those who tried to help her.

Met Juliet, who was asking her all sorts of questions about ghosts. It seemed like she had a loved one that she wanted to talk to again. Maggie was not here for that, she just wanted to have a panic attack in peace, thanks.

Maxine helped her back to The Underworld

Heather tried her best to fight the ghosts for Maggie

Monty, being somewhat of a pro, helped Maggie get to somewhere farther away from the ghosts and helped her through her panic attack

Tristan wanted to get Maggie to a doctor, which she refused. He stilled helped her get to somewhere safer

She totally freaked out on Logan when he doubted the existence of ghosts

Maggie went to pick up some items that she had ordered from Miss Rosie and Simon was working the counter. They noticed what she was buying and tried to offer Maggie a protection charm, but Maggie didn’t realize that it was probably a gift and refused because she didn’t have enough money to buy anything else but what she had come in for.

Maggie went to the Underworld to celebrate Maxine’s birthday. She decided to let loose and get drunk, since it’s a space that she feels safe, and she knew that Maxine wouldn’t let anything bad happen to her in the club. She also made her a somewhat lopsided birthday cake.

Maggie found an ugly cat in the dumpster at work and brought it home, much to the annoyance of Trevor.

Ran into Monty on their terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. She could tell that he wasn’t doing so hot but was refusing her help. But she also wasn’t feeling too hot so decided to take advantage of the fact that he wouldn’t turn her away when in need to keep an eye on him as well.

Maxine Beauchamp

Got some outsider opinions on what event Underworld Night Club should host next.

Due to an odd encounter in the woods, Maxine has now, semi-reluctantly, become a mentor to Phoenix Castillo.

Made a pact with Bridgette to go sober, because they both caught each other in compromising positions, but it didn’t last that long.

Conspired with Simon to change the terrible music at the carnival to something less abrasive.

Thanks to the input of others, Underworld hosted a amateur drag show for Edgewood’s Pride Week.

Her suspicions were raised after running into another potential vampire at her night club, so she is updating Ronan on their shared list of suspects.

And now she has celebrated her 33rd trip around the sun with some close (and not so close) friends.

Monty McAllister

Got turned around looking for a grocery store and ended up running into his childhood best friend, Trevor Wells.

At the HAGS Carnival, he split a funnel cake with a friend, then visited several others at the food booths. Later, he was spotted by his older sister, and consequentially made his return to Edgewood known to his family.

After a big falling out with his family, Monty had a little heart-to-heart with Ronan North in the park, and later struggled to deal with the aftermath of the disastrous familial encounter.

Met Karen Pierce while they were both fleeing his older sister in a crowded shopping mall.

During the events of Friday the 13th, he struggled to deal with an onslaught of visions throughout the day, the most notable of which featured Simon and a Change.

Phoenix Castillo

Phoenix has surprised many people on her adventures through the woods. She has made a new friend in Valerie Bianchi this way, but only thoroughly confused Tristan Kong.

She has started training her telepathy with Maxine. 

She met Juliet Hawthorne at the Mystery Shack and found out that she is a vampire turned by Phoenix’s Great Uncle Leon. Phoenix is still hesitant around vampires though after some intense encounters with Logan Cree.

She has became friends with Preston Hawthorne after discovering a shared love of dance at the local library.

Raiden Dryad

Raiden and Juliet shared whiskey and exchanged taunts.

Met Caterina at Ashland Street Days and briefly discussed odd finds at the stalls.

Potentially insulted psychic werewolf Ronan North at Ashland Street Days about his father’s flannel shirts, and continued attempting to rile the wolf up.

Ran into Tristan outside the Crossroads Club, who was involved in an argument on his phone.

Had a suspicious meeting with Claudia after she barged into his club and admitted she had unestablished business with one of Raiden’s employees.

Almost beheaded Valerie with a mobile phone and had an odd conversation with them with supernatural-related jibing. Is currently attempting to suss out who and what they are at the Grille.

Was jumped by a blade-wielding Heather and came to a reluctant truce with the witch.

Tried to help Juliet hunt down Hawthorne birth records whilst acquiring his own sustainable blood supply at the hospital.

Introduced himself to Logan at the other vampire’s birthday party.

Offered Monty some guidance in choosing a dinner wine for his family dinner.

With some assistance, Raiden helped save a stranger’s life from a car accident.

Ronan North

Tracked down Wesley Callaghan with the help of his bartender, Evangeline Priestly, after Wes skipped out on another tab.

Bit the bullet and put some of his father’s old clothes up for sale during Ashland Street Days. Parting with those flannels was sweet sorrow.

Ran with Harley Chapman on a full moon.

Experienced some unusual bad luck on Friday the 13th. He lost control of his Change and turned in broad daylight while responding to his pack beta’s SOS. His other senses diminished as he found the beta and broke up an altercation between them and Simon Romero-Martin.

Russell Hemlock

At Ashland Street Day’s car show, Russell accidentally spilled ice cream on one of the cars and recruited help from others, only to find out it was Ronan’s late father’s car. Whoops.

Simon Romero-Martín

Upset a townsperson or two -and their balance- chasing after a “lucky” snail.

Volunteered as a face painter at the Have A Great Summer Carnival and made a number of the patrons’ day something truly magical.

Assisted Preston Hawthorne in ridding himself of a spell-generated doppelgänger that overstayed its welcome.

Spent every full moon diligently keeping their transformations behind lock, key, and spell…

Was interviewed by the watcher.

Bribed Monty McAllister with coffee and breakfast to hike out into the woods and help her take care of her cats.

Was rescued from having to walk their flat-tired bike home by Raiden Dryad.

Ran out of luck with their usual transformation preparations on Friday the 13th and stirred up some trouble with members of the Ashland pack.

Xavier Bennett

Talked classic cars and what their favorite decades were with Juliet Hawthorne at Ashland Street Days.

Gave Phoenix Castillo the shirt off of his back to wrap her bleeding hand after witnessing her trip in the rain, had an uncomfortable conversation about his psychic abilities.

Had dinner with Harley Chapman, but this is a weekly occurrence as she is his neighbor and one of his closest friends in Edgewood.

Served drinks to patrons such as Mateo Garcia and Bridgette Kingsley  at Logan’s birthday party at the North Star Lounge.

Lamented about todays youth with David Elmasri at Brewed Awakenings when he went in for his morning coffee.

[edgewoodconfessions]

1. Who would you consider the three most interesting people in Edgewood?

“Now that’s a tough one-for a number of different reasons. Some are new and therefore are always interesting since we know nothing about them. Other’s have been here for as long as I can remember…which is a very long time, and therefore they’re interesting because we are still learning about them. And then we have the one’s that simply stand out to us right? But, if at the moment I had to choose or narrow it down to three it would be: Tristan, Phoenix, and Maxine.” 

2. It seems that Maxine Beauchamp has a particular distaste towards you, why would you speculate that is?

“I have a very good idea why that is, true me. A large portion of her feelings for me is... well, my roots and my history. Let’s just say, I haven’t always been the best at following her rules or being a quiet customer in her club. Plus, I do have The North Star Lounge to think of. Hence, yes, I do see her as competition just like I’m positive she occasionally sees me.”

3. Are you ever concerned about keeping up business with all of the new bars popping up around town?

“I am absolutely not concerned about that. I have…something…that a majority of other locations do not offer. If you have been to The North Star Lounge, you will know exactly what I mean. However, I am glad the new businesses are driving in more newcomers to Edgewood.”

4. Do you think you’re beginning to get stuck in the state of being eternally a playboy or do you think you’ll ever settle down?

“I’ve had many, many, and many years to try out both options: playboy and white picket fence lifestyle. For one reasons or another, I can never seem to stick to just one of them. I do not believe I will be changing anything about my person for the time being but that answer will vary from year to year, believe me.”

5. Is there anyone special that inspires your unique cocktails?

“First and foremost it has and will always be my mother, who is no longer with us. Without her lessons and secrets I would not have the success I do with my drinks today. Occasionally there have been people that have inspired my beloved concoctions. Though I wouldn’t exactly call them special. Some are locals and others are just people passing through.”
