shit got messy real fast for frederick, as if he wasn’t struggling enough... the added exposure of him being ( well, what he is ) didn’t help. the man didn’t know what was happening and was trying to figure it out when he was forced into a shift and filmed for all to see. now, no one seemed willing to help him. people either feared him or didn’t care enough to help him figure it all out. it was too much and had him often wishing he would have just stayed in the caves.
O C T O B E R
things didn’t get any easier for the man who was from the wrong time. he was not adjusting well. everything had him on edge and the only thing keeping him sane was the thought of his son being out there. he didn’t know for sure, but he was holding out for hope.
N O V E M B E R
come november he was approached by a man who seemed to just know everything. freddie wasn’t sure how the man seemed to know so much, but considering this man was finally offering freddie what he needed, he didn’t question it too much. at least not right away. the man welcomed him in and even introduced him to people who could help him adjust.
D E C E M B E R
freddie learned the truth about the man ( angel ) who helped him and while he is grateful, freddie isn’t sure if he trust him. for obvious reasons, he isn’t a big fan of angels. but he’s finally starting to understand what’s happening around him. he hasn’t shifted since that one incident. he’s even managed to get a job at the post office. it all still felt very new and odd to him, but he was managing.
[ so... are you going to tell us anything about what’s been going on the last four months? ]
“ there’s nothing to say... ”
[ now that just can’t be true. ]

nothing special really happened for the man during the month of september. and when everything went down, eddie just did his best to keep to himself. the nephilim knew that if people knew about his powers he’d be forced to fight. the man wasn’t ready for that. he knew if ( really WHEN ) it got worse and a fight came, he’d fight. but the man was trying to avoid it as long as possible.
O C T O B E R
the man focused more on work and avoiding anything that wasn’t work related. it wasn’t healthy and helped no one, but still, it’s what he did. he knew it wouldn’t be able to last long, this whole avoiding everything... he was tempted to put in a leave once one of his classes started bringing the outside issues into the lecture.
N O V E M B E R
by november he could no longer avoid everything that was happening. which he understood and wasn’t surprised by... but still so disappointed. his history or the supernatual course became filled with worried students. people wanting to understand and hoping their professor had all the answers. but really, the man has cut himself off from so much of the world, for so long, he only knows what the mayor shares. that and his own assumptions aren’t enough to calm them. but he’s hoping to help prepare them.
D E C E M B E R
with things only getting worse outside the borders of salem, eddie knows it’s only a matter of time before it’s too late for salem. and no one, not even the archangels that made an appearance seem ready for it. at least eddie doesn’t see it.
“ so much has happened, i learned about the baby, my brother lying to me, apparently there’s a hit out on me... and then there was the incident at work –- ”

things got a little tense for deacon this month. not even just counting everything that happened in town, as if that wasn’t all bad enough. not all of it was bad for deacon though... no, but definitely tense. cause he learned he was going to be a father. the result of what was meant to be a one night stand. the man wanted to be happy and excited, especially cause he was and always will be a family man. but elodie hadn’t wanted him to know. deacon was pretty sure that she would have NEVER said anything to him if he hadn’t run into her. and he understood it, he really did. it was a one night stand. he understood... at least that’s what he kept telling himself. cause his mind kept screaming at him that it had nothing to do with that. his insecure thoughts just kept telling him how she saw what he saw. he wasn’t worthy. he was a monster. she wanted nothing to do with him... but like always, deacon didn’t let that show. he gave his support for whatever she wanted. was there when she needed and didn’t push.
and he didn’t have this information for long before everything went down in the town. he hadn’t even had the chance to tell his brother, cause he was still giving elodie the time she needed to decide if she wanted him in the picture. but than everything happened and when he learned that james had been keeping him in the dark about everything, deacon no longer knew what to do. his brother had been the first person he wanted to share the news with but now... it was too much.
O C T O B E R
deacon finally got things settled with elodie. he was gonna be involved and he was both happy and nervous about it. happy cause he always wanted to be a father, even if it wasn’t happening in the traditional way. happy because even before learning about the baby he had hoped that he could get more time with elodie. but he was nervous cause he still hadn’t talked to his brother... nervous cause so much shit was happening in town. AND to top it all off, he found out that someone put a hit out on him. he didn’t want to put elodie or the baby in danger, so he was trying to figure it all out. he’d only told two people about the hit out on him. elodie, so she wouldn’t be in the dark and mavka, so she could help him take care of it.
he wasn’t speaking to his brother and while him and elodie agreed he’d be involved, things were still tense. so this month just felt like a lot to the man.
N O V E M B E R
finally putting his hurt aside, deacon finally decided to hear his brother out. but he wasn’t sure that helped any cause now deacon didn’t know how to feel about jame’s new family. he knew he couldn’t truly blame james... though part of him still did. cause why wouldn’t the man fight harder to tell him ( or even mav )... deacon missed his family, but this really put a strain on it. cause despite saying he understood and forgiving his brother–- deacon hall no longer trusted the austere family. so during the month of november, he kept to himself. focused on work and elodie only. part of him felt guilty cause he still hadn’t told his brother that he was going to be an uncle.
D E C E M B E R
come december, things got a little easier. things with elodie didn’t seem as forced as before. he hadn’t heard anything else about the hit out on him... the baby would be there soon. and for the most part, not much else has happened in the town. which deacon expected to change. he was just waiting for the other shoe to drop. and he didn’t have to wait long since during a 24 hour shift he was injured on a call and spent about a week in the hospital. something told him that was just the start of things starting to get messy again.
it was during his stay in the hospital, however, that deacon finally called his brother and told him about the baby. but it didn’t change anything else. he refused to let both james and mars see him while he stayed in the hospital, which was a challenge since they both worked their, but he managed.
“You’ve grown a lot since we’ve started talking, Gracey.”
“I don’t feel like it somedays”
“Let me tell you what I see”
Gracey girl has been keeping to herself as of late. The chaos and stress made the air heavy, spaces with some people were hard to be around. She takes to finding quiet spaces to read, and has grown an affinity for working with kids. She has been eyeing up the local college and considering a degree in education, but is telling herself to wait for things in Salem to settle down first.
She’s staying at Julian’s still, finding comfort in knowing that her father is at least coming home and sleeping most days. She’d be lying if she said that her father’s stress, whether he realizes it or not, is exuding out of the man. The wolf picks up on it and she finds herself trying to help out in subtle ways.
The end of the year brought more and more changes. Street was now back in her life, and while there were parts of her that didn’t think she deserved that, she couldn’t be happier to rebuild that relationship. On the romance front, Gracey and B have been seen out and about together a handful of times, and the official date number three happening around the holiday season. The idea of entering a relationship with another wolf terrified her, but B definitely seemed...different in all the right ways from the last guy.
Moving into the new year, Gracey is trying to push herself out of her comfort zone. Now that things are good with Street, and B at her side- Eli’s invitation to the pack seemed a little less daunting. She has goals of wanting to continue this pattern of growth, her therapist being her biggest ally in navigating her anxieties around it all.

dânêl and his siblings agreed that it would probably be best if some of them kept themselves secret. the archangel had no issue with himself being one of the ones that stayed ‘ hidden ’. partially cause it would be smart to keep his gift a secret so they could have the upper hand and also for selfish reasons. he didn’t want to have to deal with people trying to get him to see for them. it happened once, long ago, and he wasn’t interested in dealing with it again.
he’s kept to himself for the most part, just acting like everyone else. and working at applegate. those that work with him have grown to not question how he seems to just know things.
O C T O B E R
this month was a weird one for him, he’s never been around this long. so toward the middle of the month he started coming to terms with the fact that he would be staying which made him actually want to start helping more. daniel has always wanted to help, he’s seen such horrible things done and was never allowed to intervene but now he can. even if just a little. so he’s made it his mission to start looking out for banshee’s. he doesn’t exactly tell them who he is, or at least what he is. but they seem to always know right away that he means well.
N O V E M B E R
nothing note worthy happened in november. it’s been a lot of the same. at least to outsiders. not many people have realised, but daniel started taking in more than just banshee’s. after all those years of watching so many suffer, he can finally do something to help. offer them a safe place and help them since they have no one else.
D E C E M B E R
since his group has started to grow, daniel has bought more land that way everyone has a place. what is now known as grigori’s point has become a bit of a safe haven in salem for those who choose to trust daniel. those that actually live there have come to known exactly who/what dânêl is.

WARNING:
*each character has an (x) next to their name, which leads to a song that best fits their timeskips
JULIAN AUSTERE (x)
salem´s mayor has been pretty swamped lately. all work and no play makes julian a snappy boy. he´s had very little time for himself lately and, as much as he might say otherwise, it´s taking a toll. he hasn´t been feeding enough, hasn´t been taking care of himself. on top of the threats that have been looming since july, he´s recently caught a scent that he never thought he would come across again. he doesn´t know if it´s real or a delusion, as his suspicions haven´t been confirmed or denied.
he continues to do his best to support all of his loved ones however he can while simultaneously juggling the responsibilities of running and protecting the city. luckily, a lot of the pressure has been lifted from his shoulders thanks to the angels revealing themselves. this is how he was able to confirm his spot at the Global Organization for Supernatural and Human Alliance or GOSHA summit during the christmas holiday season.
MICHAEL (x)
michael has basically been completely disinterested in the happenings of the town. he´s truly only here out of duty, and has been doing the absolute bare minimum. he promised his siblings he´ll come when they call, but will strike down any mortal who acts like he owes them anything. he´s bored, and has gradually begun considering what his options would be on the opposing side.
he´s been living in a local´s basement basically since he first arrived, and has made himself quite comfortable. he picked up an immortal lover and has been spending most of his time with her, though it´s nothing serious on either end...yet.
CECILIA MILLER-YOUNG (x)
cece is all too familiar with danger. she´s been on edge ever since the true nature of things was revealed last summer, and it´s becoming increasingly difficult for her to hide it. she´s lost some of her softness and replaced it with the underlying cynicism from her youth. despite this, she´s opened up the space in her home´s driveway for a medical tent, where she provides healing in order to avoid the local clinics from getting clogged up. this is open from 8am to 4pm M-F.
she tries her best to manage the responsibilities of motherhood while remaining active in the protection of the town, which some could say fall into the same category- but it´s beginning to leave a weight on her shoulders that she isn´t too sure she can hold for much longer. and on top of it all...she can´t remember when her last cycle was.
REMUS BAKSHI (x)
remus doesn´t have as big a stake in this war as most of the others in town. they already knew very little about the world outside avalon, so what they´ve learned since their arrival is more alarming than was expected. the fae was planning on leaving town at the first sign of real danger, but the rest of the world shortly followed on the path of no return. along with this, remus made an endearing human friend, to whom he had promised he would help discover the existence of ¨aliens¨.
he´s been running around town with his newest friend oliver arevalos, searching under rocks and over bridges for proof of extraterrestrial existence other than his kind. however when they´re not doing this, nothing about remi´s behavior in town has changed. she spends most of her time in the city´s underground party scene, enjoying the pleasures of the surface world before they´re gone.
AMELIA STONE (x)
getting over so many tragedies happening back to back is a tough task, but amelia has been handling it decently. she went back to work about a month after her uncle´s death, having been reeling and unable to process the new trauma piling on top of the old. with the support of family and friends, mia has begun actively seeking help for her mental state.
she´s kept mostly to herself and hasn´t had a chance to properly settle into town yet. as she figures out her role in salem she´s beginning to realize that her limited knowledge of her powers isn´t going to be enough for much longer. she´s currently seeking someone who can guide her through what it means to be a fae, and how she can use her abilities to their best potential. she´s not okay, but she´s doing her absolute best.
CHA EUN-OH [ANAEL] (x)
the recent events in town started as nothing more than annoying interruptions to bo´s vacation on earth, but their persistence is becoming a concern. he came to salem because it seemed like a calm place to hideout the rest of his existence. now he isn´t sure how good an idea it would be to stay. he´s been passing in town as something lower on the supernatural chain than what he is, but that´s getting hard to do with more and more angels appearing to stack the defenses.
he has been spending his days doing what he normally does, living life as his own playground of pleasure and bliss. it´s almost like everything is normal for him. his plan is to leave at the first sign of things becoming more than he wishes to deal with, but as of right now he´s chosen to deal with watching the chaos from afar.
LORETTA RHEE (x)
the novice banshee has been having a horrible time in town. with the constant danger the triggers to her abilities seem to have no end, and she has no choice but to stay put. her witness protection agent has stopped responding to her messages and she isn´t sure why. sleep has been nonexistent as she´s woken up every night by a new screaming fit. sometimes she can´t even fall asleep because of the night terrors.
she´s cut down on hours worked at the record store for her own mental health and has been holed up in her government-assigned home, which has been in shambles and disrepair since july. december has seen her making more outings as things seem to have begun calming down. she´s in talks about her future with the universities counselors and is now stuck with making a decision about how to move forward.
FELICIANO MARTINEZ (x)
chano was faced with a decision mid-summer and the deadline is fast approaching. he came to salem as a disinterested party, but was roped into both sides when certain truths made themselves known to him. the past few months have been spent with his recently reconnected family or his close friend rhys kiliç. he´s supposed to be actively spying for azrael- in fact, this has been his task since he first arrived. however, 35 years spent as a human seems to have had a deeper affect on him than he first thought.
wrestling with two identities for a large portion of his time skip, chano was forced to choose. he passively decided he wasn´t interested in azrael´s coup back in august, but that decision is beginning to gain some traction. his concerns about his loyalties seem to almost rush to silence when it comes to a certain someone. the conflicting voices in his mind hush, and they are all that matters.
he won´t admit it. not yet. at least, not why. but he´ll fight for earth, he´ll die for earth. for them.
ANTHONY LORENZ (x)
hell was never his favorite place to be. his home on earth was destroyed by hell. heaven won´t let him in. what other choice did he have but to join in on a psychopathic angel´s mission? anthony has no real stake in the war other than his own entertainment, and dodging hell´s grasp. he´s spent his whole life being ripped apart and put back together to fit the needs of everyone around him, he´s used to it at this point.
something about this town makes him want more. he isn´t sure what he´s looking for exactly, but he feels like he´ll know when he sees it. he´s been lying low since the warehouse massacre, closely following behind either of his friends orion or levi. where he normally would take more charge, he´s been letting them step in. those close to him know not to question his behavior unless they want their face slashed in, so he´s been living pretty smoothly out of the spotlight for now.
LINCOLN KEATS (x)
the retired preacher was originally going to take over the local parish, but decided to step down after the hacking in september, when his own religious beliefs were thrown askew by what he saw. he´s still active in the church community but has become a hunter full-time. however, he´s mainly just doing odd jobs here and there, mostly for the elderly population in his neighborhood. as far as money goes, his chunk of inheritance from his father has yet to fail him. it covers the major part of his bills, where the meager tips from the neighborhood often lack.
he´s getting a little better acquainted with the city. much of the supernatural universe is still new to him, as he wasn´t a very experienced hunter when he arrived. he avoids getting involved more than he has to with the phenomena, and it´s been working so far.
“ oh man, where do i even start? ”
[ how about the beginning? after the hack? ]
“ i’m definitely not high enough for this ... ”
[ or maybe just too high for this ? ]
“ that too ! ”
S E P T E M B E R
camilla can’t even lie, she freaked out with the exposure of new creatures being around. mainly so the angels. it wasn’t that she didn’t know angels where around, she’s just never met one and definitely didn’t take it as a good sign that such powerful ones have decided to take up residence. so the siren did the only thing she knew would calm her. she took to the water! didn’t even give notice to either of her jobs ( not that they noticed since both places closed down for the rest of the month ).
O C T O B E R
now that she was back, cami was more calm... or at least on the outside she was. keeping busy definitely helped with that and it seemed the universe had no problem helping her keep busy cause she came across an incubus who was in desperate need of a helping hand. the siren not only offered him a place to stay, but also offered to help him since he had no one else and she knew enough to manage to help.
between working TWO jobs and that, the siren found herself too busy to focus too much on what was happening in town. which was something she was grateful for.
N O V E M B E R
come november cami found herself quitting her job at tomation towing & autobody repair due to overhearing how larry need let someone go otherwise he’d start to go bankrupt. but having just one job wasn’t exactly as time consuming as she was used to, plus the diner never worked her enough so she started working at gordo’s sweet factory.
D E C E M B E R
camilla was someone who had goals, even if not many people realised it. but she wanted to open her open studio/gallery. and by december she finally saved up the money from the two jobs she’d been working to do just that. HOWEVER, she didn’t do it cause to her it almost seemed pointless. with everything happening, she wasn’t sure it was worth it. this was the only sign that she was truly effected by everything that was happening.
[ so what about you ? ]
“ what about me ? ”
[ how have the last four months been for you ? ]
“ you ask that as if i’m actually going to answer you . ”

nothing ever surprised the crown anymore. in fact, not only did things not surprise him, basil always seemed to know EXACTLY what was happening. but that wasn’t the case in september. he hadn’t seen the hack coming, though one probably wouldn’t assume since ( like always ) he didn’t let his surprise show. the days following the hack, and therefore the exposure to certain beings, basil would be seen visiting city hall a lot more than normal. no one but a select few knew why.
he also found himself putting up more protections on his nightclub. firing anyone he didn’t personally look into himself and hiring more loyal demons. while other business’ were closing early or not accepting everyone, nox stayed thriving. it was odd since people did seem to start locking themselves in their home before nightfall, but somehow people still felt safe to visit the nightclub. protections basil put up himself as well as those by some of his loyal witches kept the place safe. the crown allowed anyone and anything to come to his place... it was his way of finding out information. there wasn’t much happening that basil didn’t know about.
O C T O B E R
during the month of october basil seemed to fall off the face of the earth. and that because he did exactly THAT. having spent more time than he would like in hell or travelling the world to see all that was happening. gathering information and even sometimes joining in with the chaos because he was bored. the ONLY person who knew where he was was his husband and that was because basil was able to share certain bits of information when he was able to be home.
and as for his nightclub, it remained open. and while people questioned his whereabouts, his loyal demons and hand picked manager kept everything in order. it wasn’t strange for him to disappear for weeks on end, but the fact that he was gone for a whole month was what had people questioning him. not that anyone has questioned him to his face.
N O V E M B E R
his visits to hell became less frequent. the devil herself decided it was best to just keep watching to see how things played out. which was something basil easily stood by. he was never one who felt the need to involve himself unless he either: had to, was bored, or if it actually benefitted him/his maker. now he was just able to focus on his husband and helping him if the man needed. basil even went as far sending out people to protect his husband’s family.
the crown kept up appearances as if nothing happened. he was always a man who kept his opinions to himself, so it truly wasn’t odd for anyone to see him acting indifferent to it all.
D E C E M B E R
basil quickly noticed that the panic that had spread through the town was starting to make them all a bit stir crazy. which both amused him and annoyed him. but like always, he just stayed focused on himself ( and his husband ). not much happened this month. being the pessimist he is, he expect since this month was so calm, things will get worse again.
