✴︎  — Sutton had shown up to spite the woman who’d told her she probably wouldn’t — which made the vampire realise that she really ought to quit doing things out of spite because she wanted to be at home working on the new song. But she supposed it would be good. Make friends and all that.

      Sutton-Vampire was scrawled in the old script she’d been writing in since the first world war. She had settled to the side of the room, eyes following the people around her, wanting to be aware of everyone before she began to actually participate in conversation.  She watched as Yuri approached her, returning his smile. “ Hello Yuri. I’m Sutton, musician/composer, vampire, and one likely to use food to bribe you. ”

Yuri laughed, an amused smile on his lips, “Well Sutton, I have to warn you, right now my boss has a monopoly on food based bribes. Although I may have been known to trade free coffee for some bread from that amazing bakery in town.” Slipping back into the rhythm of socializing, now that he was actually doing it, didn’t seem as daunting as his mind made it out to be. “So, are you new to Echo, or have you been here a while?”

Phoebe had poured every ounce of energy she had into the farms as of late. Changing bedding from straw to sawdust, putting up the blankets in the barn, constantly hosing out the walkway from the pollen, getting the summertime activities in order….between all that, she still had fences to mend, horses to bathe and train, and people to keep happy. By the end of her work day, she was exhausted.

Social events weren’t her thing, even if she wasn’t completely exhausted. Her name tag read PHOEBE-HUMAN on it, though the smartass side of her wanted to write Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die under Hello, my name is.

She looked up when someone approached her and ran a hand through her straw-laden chestnut hair. “Phoebe. Horse trainer, human, hot mess.”

Yuri’s inner child lit up hearing the woman in front of him worked with horses. He’d always wanted to try riding horses, and had fantasized like many children did, of growing up to be a cowboy. But being shuffled through the system throughout his childhood never really allowed for the opportunity to ride or even see horses. “You train horses? That’s amazing! Is riding as fun as they make it look on TV” he said with some wonder to his voice.

“Well, that’ll make things easier for me, I think.” Lisa says with a grin, sidling up to stand next to Yuri rather than meandering around like some sort of lost puppy. It wasn’t in her ‘contract’ to be at his side all the time, and she knew that, but she enjoyed spending time with Yuri and it made it easier on her when she knew what was going on.

With her mouth quirked slightly to the side and still eyeing the room, she murmured, “Are you expecting anything in particular from all this, Yur?”

Yuri sighed in relief recognizing Lisa in the sea of bodies. “Honestly, I’m mostly trying to get the boss off my back. They think I need to get out more and so I was bribed into coming here.” He grabbed two scones off a passing waiter’s tray and handed one to Lisa. With some self-doubt Yuri added, “I think I’m adjusting fine to Echo, I just haven’t had the time to branch out. That’s normal right?”

“Why?” Tait looked over the handsome male from head to toe. “Are you not a good friend?” he asked with some curiosity. He smiled at the reply as he carefully folded the map and slid it into his pocket. Finding a place to live would make him feel better, more like a proper being again, and not like he was wandering without a pack to call his own.

Yuri paused, surprised by Tait’s candid response. Sighing he decided to tell at least a small version of the truth to his conversation partner. “I’m a witch and the magic I have an affinity for tends to scare humans. I’ve become resigned to being a bit of a pariah because of it.”

Henry was startled out of his reverie. “What? Oh, hello.” He had gone down to the library to borrow some books to take back to his apartment. He loved reading, and was looking forward to settling in with a good novel, but instead, he found himself in the middle of a full-blown mixer. He turned to the friendly witch who just approached him; might as well get to know people. “I’m Henry Claypoole, vampire, also quite food-driven” He laughed at his own stupid joke. “Sorry. So what’s going on here?”

Yuri laughed along with his new acquaintance, “Good to meet you Henry! From what the flyer said this is a sort of get to know you for all Echo’s newest residents. I’ve only been here a few weeks so with some gentle prodding from my boss I decided to show up and make a few friends.” Making friends wasn’t something Yuri struggled with but moving to Echo surrounded by uncertainty made him withdraw.

Looking back on it, Morgan could admit that jumping on a train to go to Echo without doing any research wasn’t her best idea. She learned much about her responsibilities as the human part of a pair on the way to Echo and even then she knew very little about the town and she knew no one in it. It was a rather stressful situation, but she was determined to make the best of it.

When she heard there was an opportunity to meet others, she took it and thus found herself standing in the middle of a sizeable library, hoping to meet others in the same situation. She turned as soon as a voice was directed at her. “Morgan, not a witch,” she answered, sticking her hand out as she matched his smile.

“It’s good to meet you Morgan.” Yuri said as he took her offered hand. “Have you been in Echo long? I just moved here myself and haven’t really done much socializing yet.” Yuri was a bit embarrassed about how little effort he’d put into  meeting people in his new home. He was just so exhausted since all the supernatural creatures went public. It was like he had to defend his right to just exist at every turn. The recruiter he met with described Echo as a town without prejudice, and while he hoped they were right, Yuri did not have his hopes up.

Standing in the doorway of Nottingham Library Yuri felt nervous. He was here for a community social event that his boss practically begged him to attend. Sure maybe all Yuri had done since moving to Echo has been work and sleep but what did anyone expect him to do? He was doing fine. Honest.

Regardless of how he felt, his boss bribed him with two paid days off and a box of delicious lemon scones so Yuri was obligated to show up. Shaking himself out of his self-reflection Yuri moved into the main room, donning a name tag with ‘YURI-WITCH’ written in his messy scrawl. He smiled and moved to the person closest to him. “Hi, I’m Yuri. Barista, witch, and one easily bribed by food.”

Tait nodded sadly. “She was a good female but she had to go.” He shrugged lightly. “We will be all right. They have to do what they must do, just like they will.” He looked down at the paper and then back up, a little hopefully. He could follow maps. They made more sense to him. “Thank you. I appreciate your help.”

Yuri nodded, “I guess you’re right. I haven’t met my pair yet. I have her name and basic information but- I keep putting off meeting her. I just worry she’ll meet me and change her mind.” He was worried that when she found out what he’s done and his morbid affinity for blood magic she’d run away in terror. Yuri wouldn’t blame her if she did. “No problem! Just happy I could help. Besides, it’s always nice to have conversations that don’t revolve around peoples’ coffee orders.”

Sitting at a table on the far side of the pub, Theo sipped his beer. He liked keeping to the outskirts where he could watch everything unfold around him without the confines that came from being in the center of the room. The side tables were the best spots, which was confirmed as he watched someone embarrass themselves and quickly look around to see if anyone had noticed. “I’m going to pretend I didn’t see that.”

There were several moments in his life that Yuri would consider embarrassing. However, tripping over his own shoes and spilling half his beer on the back of a stranger’s pastel pink dress was now firmly in the top spot. After some whispered apologies, an (in hindsight terrible idea) awkward attempt at helping dry off the dress that was stained on the stranger’s rear end, and several more apologies, Yuri’s night out was not going well. 

Yuri looked around to see if anyone else witnessed his series of unfortunate events,  and locked eyes with an amused man at one of the bar’s side tables. Finishing the remainder of his beer Yuri walked over to man and sighed, taking the seat across from him. “I wish I could, but I’m pretty sure that moment is going to haunt me for a while.”

Imogen stood back from the building, her arms crossed as the construction workers finished putting the roof on top of it. This was the first full building she’d worked on at Echo, and she just wanted to make sure it was good. The witch spotted someone else looking at it and took a deep breath before walking over to them. “What do you think?” Imogen asked, wanting a true opinion.

Yuri was not an expert in architecture. He wasn’t really sure what to say to the woman who approached him. “It looks good to me I guess. I’m not an expert in art or buildings but there is something awe inspiring seeing something so new being built.” Yuri spent most of his time in group homes that looked like prisons and old houses held together by his foster care payments and some duct tape. This was something else entirely, something sleek and modern. “It looks like freedom to me.” Yuri said almost wistfully. “To me, it seems like the building is making a statement, this is the future, this is Echo’s new path.”  He smiled and fiddled with his backpack strap. “None of this probably makes sense, but I guess I’m just trying to say I like it.”

What’s the worst backhanded compliment you could give someone?

“You’re making such great coffee today it’s such a pleasant surprise. May or may not have been something I recently said to one of my co-workers.” 

[yuritrevas-blog]

What’s the most ridiculous thing you have bought?

“I called one of those psychic hotlines in a moment of weakness once. I was a little drunk, and a little sad when I saw a commercial for Miss Rio’s psychic call center. I called, demanding to speak with my birth parents, and Miss Rio told me to focus on my inner light and align my chakras instead. My phone bill was insane that month.”

[yuritrevas-blog]

If someone narrated your life, who would you want to be the narrator?

“Noel Fielding. I’m such a fan of his art and his absurd comedy. I think he’d make my life something enjoyable to watch.”

[yuritrevas-blog]

What mythical creature do you wish actually existed?

“A genie. The Disney-fied version, not a djinn with all their ironic punishments. I’d just want to be able to rub a lamp and get three no-cost wishes. I’ve got a few impossible things I’d really like to know.”

[yuritrevas-blog]

What’s something you really resent paying for?

“The car I drove to Echo. The thing was old and unreliable and ended up breaking down for good once I got here anyways. I couldn’t even get a tenth of what I paid for it when I scraped it.”

[yuritrevas-blog]

What’s wrong but sounds right?

“When people say ‘literally’ but mean ‘figuratively’. I know it’s wrong grammatically but I love the emphasis that saying literally gives to a statement. It’s adds just a little extra gravitas.”

[yuritrevas-blog]

When you are old, what do you think children will ask you to tell stories about?

“Probably whats happening now between humans and supernaturals. They’d ask me where I was when the witches came forward, and what I saw in the time after.”
