Claybourne tasks 03:

Hello, Claybourne! We are almost halfway through March and as we move through the year we feel it is time to get to know the residents of Claybourne a little bit more!



This time how about a simple and fun playlist? A playlist tells us a lot about a person more than you’d think. So our third task is to playlist. This can be a bit of fun, something with deeper meaning or maybe even dedicated to another person? You can tag your playlist or picture post with claybourneplay and hopefully we should be able to find them easily enough. You can also tag the starter blog, if you wish.
 

Hints and tips: 

You could make one directly through playlist, Apple Music etc. 

A simple text post is perfectly fine too! Feel free to be as creative with this as you’d like. 

Check out the tags for ideas. 

This task is optional but is a great way to get to know your muse better and to show other people parts of your muse’s personality! 

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

FRIENDSHIP is magic —

though by nature quite a solitary women, even ari has come to see firsthand how the help of her fellow witches can greatly improve her own magic. for her, even the easiest of tasks are made almost instantly possible when she combines her forces with others. so far, she has discovered two spells that seem to work very well with the influence of others, and has been working on figuring out two more, and how to make them work.

{read about the task here!} @grimoiresgirlsrp

if you would like to plot out a thread/connection/plot where your witch can help ariadne in her magical abilities, let me know! as well, let me know if ari could be of use to your own spell development.

Spell #1 — Spectral Spirits

(needed: dark magic, powers of mediumship) best for: @cole-campbell, @necromaancing, & lilith

in this spell, ari can combine her forces of light magic (her specialty) with dark magic to give sight into the spirit world. she uses a clarity spell along with her starlight magic, her natural ability to source light, and combines that with spells meant to reach through to the dead. when done correctly, spirits may become fully visible and tangible - though she may need a medium still to branch over the contact issue. 

on her own, ari can only make vague shapes appear in a pale blue, dusty figures, and she can barely make out the facial features or communicate with the spirits. this spell with the dark magic forces can be used to get information, solve hauntings, and make new fun dead friends!

Spell #2 — Seeing Over The Rainbow

(needed: water magic, maybe more astral magic) best for: water & astral witches

a special ability for sight can be given to ari when water magic is used to create rainbows. she uses her light magic, as well as the energy manipulation between the fractals of colors in the rainbow, to see far behind the possible scope of the human eye. it’s like a massive reflection, when ari literally ‘looks through the rainbow’, created by water magic... she can see anywhere in the world for a brief moment of time if she can picture it. 

the only thing is she sees whatever she does see in bright rainbow colors, and without some steady water magic to hold the water steady, it may be a very blurry or watery image that can be hard to make out the details. more astral magic may help this.

Spell #3 — Psychometry

(needed: fire & electric magic) best for: @aidaxaman, @lucrezia-venus, @sun-castilla, @belenvillas​

ari has no idea she can do this yet. using energy manipulation and electrical currents, which can be created with fire magic combining with her astral magic, but is easiest done with electricity, ari can learn everything about an object, place, or person. if she holds the object, or touches a person, or puts her hands against a wall of a place - she can learn of it’s history, it’s memories, previous occurrences, owners, etc.

it drains her, so some healing magic may be helpful. ari’s abilities allows her to work as a conduit for the energy inside these things to absorb into her, where she can ultimately “read” them, and gain knowledge. the fire helps to spark electric energy. with all three, ari may be able to find out even more, especially from people - and potentially, tell the future. or at least, the future regarding whatever it is she is reading.

Spell #4 — Teleportation

(needed: source of healing magic, perhaps earth or water, as well as a form of strength, which could be any sort of enforcement to her magic) best for: @thechircn & anyone honestly

as ari grows in her skills, she realizes that she can use astral projection to change her location. she has only managed to do this one time so far - but it hurt her quite a bit, so the need for a healing spell in tandem is required. it was genevieve who told ari to consider using healing magic with her own to stay safe during teleportation - and she believes she could go even further, faster, with more power behind the spell. 

she would like to try the spell, with the healing enchantment, with other types of magic to see what could make her go the fastest and furthest. perhaps fire could give her distance, and electricity could give her speed?

WILMINGTON TASK #3 ─ CLOTHING HEADCANONS ─ SPRING & SUMMER ─ PART 1

Amy Taylor was never a slave of the fashion industry, and she was certainly not going to start being one at the age of thirty-two. She had always put comfort and practicality over aesthetics, and that was exactly the word that best described her personal style: comfortable. Whereas other girls loved to fill up their wardrobes with fashionable items, following whatever trends were dictated to them by the industry, Amy had always chosen a half-empty wardrobe with staple items she loved wearing. At any given time, her go-to are always a pair of high-waisted jeans and a loose fitting top─ either tucked into the jeans, tied off, or cropped. However, every season calls for adjustments, and her summer wardrobe is no exception.

everyday wear

During the hot days, Amy’s usual choices are too much when even her skin feels like wearing a fur coat. The jeans are most often replaced by denim or cotton shorts (high-waisted, as well) and tops that let her skin breathe. Seeing how she considers her legs and ass her strongest assets (pun intended), her wardrobe always accentuates those rather than her torso, even if inadvertently. She’s been working at the marina since coming back, so there is no particular dress code that she needs to follow, and like always, comfort comes first. On colder days she’ll throw light knitwear on top of whatever choice of shorts or pants she’s wearing. If you are catching her at home, she is most likely wearing a pair of sweats and an old tee. On the off chance she is not wearing pants of some sort, you might find her in a dress─ solid colored, knee or ankle length, with pockets. The button down trend in particular has been a favorite of hers this season and she owns a few of those in different colors and styles. When it comes to colors, her wardrobe is permeated with simple, easy to combine shades of grey, dark blue, olive green, black and white. Only her summer pieces offer some brightness and variety, though she rarely strays away from solids in favor of patterns. Along with a good pair of jeans she will always have in her closet, one other item holds permanent real estate and that is her denim jacket. A fan of them since she was a teenager, Amy has found their return more than welcome, and she loves to wear them with everything, as means of dressing down or sticking to the theme of her outfit. 

skin care & appearance

Truth be told, Amy─ like the rest of her family─ was blessed with damn good genes and never fell victim to the makeup industry. Unless it’s a special occasion or she really feels like dolling up, she prefers to keep things natural: a coat of mascara, a little filling in of the eyebrows, concealer, lip balm, and she’s good to go. Eyeliners and eye shadows were a favorite when she was in high school, but since then she has found them to be too tedious to apply. Bronzers and highlighters are not even related to makeup in her dictionary, and contouring is a strange concept she scrunches her nose at. However, while she doesn’t rely on makeup, she finds the sense of smell one of the most important ones, and has always prided herself on smelling good. She rotates her choice scents based on the season, so for hot weather she’d much rather opt for something light and fruity than flowery: refreshing shower gels, and fruity perfumes are her staple in hot weather. As far as her hair is concerned, her natural chestnut brown locks have blondish highlights, and honestly, god bless the whole ombre/balayage trend because she never cared too much about dying it in time. She always wears it down in natural waves, in part because up until recently it was too short to do much else with it. Now that it’s gotten longer, she might opt for a half-bun or a ponytail as means of fighting the heat. 

shoes & accessories 

Prizing comfort over looks is Amy’s motto when it comes to her choice of footwear, as well. There are only three things she would wear in the insufferable heat, depending on what she’s doing: her trusted converses, vans or a pair of sandals. Heels are not something she owns a lot of pairs of, and certainly not any that are fit for hot weather. Recently, she has given into her love of hats, and owns a few in different styles, her favorites a tan panama and a black fedora, and a baseball cap she usually wears at the marina. She prefers cross body bags and will only wear a clutch when she’s out on the town. In terms of jewelry, she doesn’t wear a lot of it, and what she does wear is discreet: thin rings without any stones, long, thin necklaces, and studs in her ears (she has three lobe piercings in her left ear, and two more in her right ear, as well as a helix one). She usually switches between studs of different geometrical shapes, most often silver, and a hoop for the helix piercing. And, last but not the least, whatever she’s wearing on top, underneath her clothes is always a soft bralette of some sort─ regular bras are the bane of her existence and if she can avoid wearing them she will. 

[abecampbell-archived-blog]

Anna Duport -- I probably respect Anna the most, for good reason. She is the one in charge, she calls the shots, I have been following her lead for years. However, this kind of fucks up my brain sometimes, and I overthink and embarrass myself in front of her. I haven’t grown out of it for some infuriating reason. I used to be a teacher’s pet, but now, as a grown-ass adult… It’s not a crush. It’d be easier if it was a crush actually. I can’t even say that she’s scary, we just don’t click. But I do love her, and I wouldn’t choose anyone else to lead us on this mission. I just… prefer having a buffer in the room instead of being alone with the captain. Maybe it’s the title that messes with me...

Anthony Keats -- The doctor’s great. I am more professional with him, and honestly try not to see him often just cause I want a clean bill of health. Besides, no one likes needles, right? But he is a good person, I trust him a lot, even look up to him. He sees all the nitty gritty, and with that god-awful virus, I was forced to open up to him. No one likes to be vulnerable, but a medical doctor sees it all. Maybe I’d say this about anyone in this position, but I really wouldn’t choose anyone else to be our doc.

Ellis Rutherford -- Ellis is one of my best friends on the mission. Ever since day one, us smiling cheekily at one another, we clicked. He’s so ridiculous, but we make each other laugh. We have similar non-work related interests, and he’s just an all around great guy to hang around with and talk to. His energy is very soothing to me. He listens to my conspiracy theories and chimes in, and even if I make something up he can spin anything to sound less bullshitted. Plus, he agrees with me on little green men.

Hal Pearson -- Hal and I don’t really work together--not that we’re unsymbiotic, but we physically aren’t nearby one another. I don’t dislike anyone on the mission, there’s no room in this environment for such negativity, but he’s a bit rough around the edges. I have sympathy for him. I’ve just never extended the olive branch, which I feel bad about. I know he is very good at his job, I mean we got here safely. And it might lessen the impact when I say this about everyone, but yeah, I respect him.

Heath Abernathy -- I miss Heath. We’ve had our heads down since touchdown, each doing our own thing, but we’re still good friends. We just… have such great conversations, he gets the creative juices in my brain flowing. I don’t ever feel like we tiptoe around one another. We don’t have to, as bad as this sounds, dumb down any of our terminology for one another. For example, in our free time we study the bioturbation on Remus. He’ll talk to me about fucking geoarchaeology. I am lucky to have him on the mission.

Ines Lundstrom -- I think of Ines as a comrade and coworker. They’re quiet, but I think I can forgive them for it more than some of the other crew members? I just value them on the team, and want them to know that I care about them, even though they prefer not to be touched. Ines is a very hard worker and works alongside Ellis, so I usually see them in passing. I think that’s all they can handle of me, to be honest. 

Jacob Campbell -- I love Jacob. He has helped improve my life in multiple ways, being my friend was only the beginning. His role is the communicator, and he has taught me verbal and nonverbal cues that, had I known decades ago, would have made my life a lot easier. We joke about being brothers since our common surnames are identical, but I really do see him as such. We are quite different, but he lets me be affectionate and in another world I’d see him as intimidating, but I do... Cherish our friendship. I can be myself around him. I don’t worry about embarrassing myself, and he takes me as I am.

Julian Ventura -- Julian’s abrasive. I can’t say I dislike him, I just never got to know the guy. I don’t even avoid him, he’s just usually off doing his own thing. I’m sure we’ve smiled at each other before… I just can’t pinpoint a single instance.

Nico Santana -- Okay, Nico’s a mixed bag. He’s quiet and snarky and??? A baby??? He’s actually just a year younger than Ellis. He’s also a teacher’s pet to Anna, it’s weird, I can’t really be in the same room as those two at the same time. Whatever. He’s fine. We can talk just fine. I think I see him as a younger brother, and given that I am the younger of two, it’s just not something I’m used to. After all these years. So I kind of push him away, which is uncharacteristic of me. I don’t know he’s just not my cup of tea. But I don’t hate him. I’m sure he hates me though.

Nikolai Fayiz -- Nikolai is--was--harder to get close to. Like Julian, he is bristly and not who I would have initially called a friend. I always made sure to smile around Nik, and I’m sure he hated being stuck in the same lab as me, but… by the end, I could tell that he had softened up a little. Especially because we could talk about work so freely, he finally warmed up to me. I miss him, which, if you’d have told me that five years ago, I’d have frowned and disbelieved.

Mhairi Walsh -- Mhairi’s an oddball, a ride, but she makes me smile. She’s so sincere and open and friendly, it’s nice because not everyone will tell you their life story. But she’ll talk to me when I’m feeling extroverted, and she has a childish quality that is very warming. I find her easy to talk to, about personal items and work-related topics.

Savannah Kinsley -- Thankfully, by the time we landed on Remus, Savannah and I were on better terms than the beginning. I’m sure when she first heard we’d be sharing a lab, she rolled her eyes, but I get her to smile sometimes now. It always sends a feeling of accomplishment, because, like many scientists, she is closed-off and keeps her head down. But by now, I can tell she likes me, and the crappy puns I make… on a daily basis. Savannah sleeps across the hall from me, and we work in the same lab, so we definitely see a lot of each other. 

Sienna Palmer -- Sienna is one of the people I like the most. She’s always been so open and kind, and even if she’s being my therapist, I always feel like she’s a friend, first and foremost. Maybe I’m being naive, but her smile definitely lights up the room. I feel like she’s non judgmental, and it helps to get close to her.

“let’s see here, uh.. can’t speak a foreign language, so that’s out. and i certainly can’t quote jfk now, can i, chad??” val began, teasing her favorite producer, trying to remember how that speech went. the girl next door. it was one of her favorite movies, and with talented singing performances already having been done, the island didn’t leave her much choice in showing off talents. sure, she could have danced, but with no music... a quick monologue was the best option. she could get herself some soap, some lip-balm, some mouthwash... “y’know it’s funny, i had this whole speech prepared that i’ve been practicing all week but... i’m just gonna go with it!!” the actress took the leaves she’d been glancing at as prop index cards and tossed them into the air, giggling a bit as they floated back down.

“moral fiber. so, what is moral fiber?? it's funny, i used to think it was always telling the truth, doing good deeds, basically being a fucking girl scout...” she stepped toward the group, setting her eyes on a new friend she’d made this week. "but lately i've been seeing it differently. now i think moral fiber's about finding that one thing you really care about. that one special thing that means more to you than anything else in the world. and when you find her, you fight for her. you risk it all, you put her in front of everything, your future, your life, all of it.” her tone had fallen serious as she got into the speech, and now as valerie looked at morgan, on some level real life was fading away and this short haired beauty was the sole recipient of all her affection. when she finally reached her volunteer, val took a seat in their lap, but still addressed the rest of the group. “and maybe the stuff you do to help her isn't so clean. y'know what?? it doesn't matter. because in your heart you know... the juice is worth the squeeze,” she said, finally looking into morgan’s eyes and taking their face into her hands. “that's what moral fiber's all about.” to cap it off, val gave morgan a deep smooch, lingering perhaps a little longer than she needed to for this little performance, but she couldn’t help herself. “and scene,” she declared, finally allowing herself to laugh at what she’d just done.

standing up from morgan’s lap, valerie faced the entire group again. “as for the tell part of this show and tell... well it’d be too easy to mention my lovely volunteer here, so: raj, you’re cute, i like you. and addy, hottie, wow!! i haven’t been able to keep my eyes off’a ya. i’ve got a big ol’ ladyboner for both of you.”

[morganparkerx]

when morgan was young, they were never the child that loved barbies and rainbows and princesses and pink — no matter how much everyone around them tried to force it. morgan was the little girl who liked swords, vikings, cowboys, video games, and superheroes. so in attempt to steer them away from all the things they loved, morgan’s father decided to take her camping. the goal of this camping trip was not to bond with his child, no, that wasn’t ever on her father’s agenda. the goal of the camping trip was to traumatize them so terribly with the harsh wilderness that they’d be pushed towards the soft, girly things he thought they should enjoy from the comforts of home, like disney and tea parties and baby dolls. oh boy did that backfire, morgan had grown to love everything ‘boy-ish’ more than she ever had before, and to top it off, now she had all these badass survival skills at such a young age.

that’s why when it came time to show off a talent, morgan did not fret at their lack of guitar, or paints for showing off their artistic side. they’d do something they were fairly sure no one else on this island was capable of. she spent most of the week gathering supplies and working in secret so she could hopefully surprise the other shipmates, and on the very last day with everyone gathered ‘round the bonfire, it was time for them to make their move. standing a large log upright near the fire and wedging it down into the sand, she spoke up to get everyone’s attention. “hey y’all, i think it’s about time i earned my granola bars. i’ll be right back, but in the meantime... keep a good distance from the log.” with that ominous warning, morgan trekked back up the beach and into the trees.

a few moments later, she came sprinting back out to the beach, brandishing a spear. “haaaaaa!!” once she saw a few people notice her return and that no one was near the log, she twisted her body and launched it at the target she’d set up from nearly thirty yards away with a guttural grunt from the effort. standing there now, morgan surveyed the others reactions and caught their breath, glancing back a few times to make sure the spear was still stuck in the log. “so, uh... i can make stone tools and weapons. did a lot of campin' as a kid, so i learned because i thought it was kinda cool. i made a couple extra in case we wanna try spearfishin' and such, might also be able to make some axes if we need ‘em.” their breath slowly coming back to them as they stepped closer to the group, they remembered the tell part of this. “oh, right. everyone here is hotter than a sweaty ass crack, but i ought’a give it up for the ladies. violet and luna, you can both step on me and i’d thank you for it.” she certainly wasn’t shy. of course, that was leaving out the two people on this island she’d actually had sex with, but morgan had their reasons.
