cr & plotting: june
- New arrivals came from the mirrors of the Looking-Glass House; the head of the Coven, Miss Nerissa Bell, and her Bonded and the Coven's ambassador to Parliament, Mhairi Ainsley, met with them and answered what they could. Afterwards, all those who had come through the mirrors were allowed to stay with the Coven while Nessie and Mhairi set out to find a more permanent living space for everyone. A deal was struck with Parliament, and after much cleaning up, evacuating, and subduing tempers, the new arrivals were moved to the Haven - though they were, of course, given the option of staying elsewhere should they have the funds and means to do so. They also opened up a line of communication, free for anyone to use. While some characters began to investigate their new surroundings, over all, the month wound down without much more fanfare as everyone began to settle in, and as the Coven wondered if yet another batch of world travelers would show up...
And so they did, just a few days ago, though Nessie - having suspected this might occur - was ready to receive them. Once more, her and Mhairi answered questions, and those newly arrived were offered the opportunity to be tested for magic potential. Classes began for those who were Witch and those who were Monster, though both were open to anyone - new or old - to attend, and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future.
EVENT PART ONE: THE FULL MOON AND LITHA
- As some of you might have noticed, our first event log lands officially on June 17th - the same day as the full moon. It isn't going to be the majority of the log though; it was more or less chosen for timing reasons, but that doesn't mean it doesn't mean anything. Starting on the 17th, the skies that have slowly grown more pink over the course of the month will grow an even deeper red, causing even more of a fuss in the city - particularly the Harbor District, where people are hard at work making sure to be ready to start their new voyages. Still, this uneasy unrest won't disrupt the festivities, though there are murmurings that this never happened before new people started showing up out of nowhere...
For Litha itself, the festival itself is a three day affair starting on the summer solstice on June 21st at dusk, and lasting until the dusk of June 23rd. It celebrates bonds and relationships of the closer kind, with brothels opening their doors for free to those who want or need a little company. Drinks spiced with love and lovemaking potions are passed around with a wink and a smile, helping along intimacy and relationship building... though it's just as easy to find people selling drinks that don't have anything added to them.
In addition to that, Litha has a number of interesting traditions anyone can take part in - from making flower crowns for that special someone, to traveling through garden hedge mazes with a partner selected for you at random, not unlike a blind date. There are a few rumors about the festival as well, such as surefire ways to find your future spouse by looking into a well at night, and that by collecting the flowers handed off by the seven biggest flowershops in Aefenglom and placing them beneath your pillow before you sleep, you'll dream of future partners... though Rose Bush, a smaller up-and-coming shop, seems to be keen on making its name known one way or another. Mind your fingers! Finally, ships from the harbor are in constant motion, each voyage out signaled by cheers, fireworks, and an amount of enthusiasm so great it's obvious that it's more of a force of will than it is genuine - why not go see one off?
The festivities over all have a restless air about them though, like everyone is waiting for something to happen - and they wouldn't exactly be wrong.
- At the peak of Litha on June 22nd, the dawn breaks into deeper red. Even as the day moves on, the reddishness doesn't quite fade, turning blue and grey skies to something a touch more violet and pale pink instead - and finally, at sunset, the sky looks as if it has a deep gash within it, the color so deep it feels as if the sky itself is bleeding. Sleep isn't easy to come by, though as the clock strikes three in the morning, all still awake suddenly drop into a deep slumber.
It might feel familiar to those who've come through the mirrors before - as if you're floating, things hard to discern except from the corner of your eye. As you settle in the familiar sensation, you realize you aren't alone -
because the rest of the city's population has come with you, too.
More information will be on the post itself, so hang tight! Don't worry about this interfering with any plans you might've had for the last part of the month either; characters will wake up in the late morning of the 23rd, not feeling refreshed at all, and the festivities of Litha will wind down in silence.

Mikah | Alex Benedetto| Gangsta.
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Timezone: GMT-7
Character Name: Alex Benedetto
Canon: Gangsta.
Appearance: Here is her Character sheet with a little extra in her bio. She now has gills on either side of her neck.
Brief: Ex-prostitute turned secretary for a jack-of-all-trades duo and club singer for the mafia. A big sis trying to be worthy of that title again and just over all trying to be a better person in her second chance at life. She starts off very skittish and wary, but once she warms up to you, she can get pretty attached. So imagine a stray cat.
Her background does include a lot of abuse and forced prostitution so if you’d rather avoid those topics or opt out from cr let me know! They are not likely to come up immediately but you never know where things go with rp. More information is available in the bio link provided above.
Choice: Merrow
Event Plans:
Event 1:
Full moon change: Her ears will change to look more fin-like
I doooo kinda wanna try the love potions or even just drinks in general and see what happens, whether it be funny or mistakes are made (or both).
Flower crowns and hedge mazes would be fun too! She's never seen a voyage happen before so she may find that interesting to see.
General Plans:
Alex has been focusing on making that money since she has a chance to try all sorts of jobs now and make an honest living. She’s also adjusting to the whole monster thing still and struggling with some of those new instincts and characteristics. She hasn’t really put much thought into bonds yet for many reasons but I would like to start exploring that with people. I’m pretty open to all sorts of CR and scenarios!

Im still down for love potion stuff! I cant say for sure how itd go but Im open to discussing stuff. It doesnt have to go that far either. Maybe it’ll just be cute and awkward ahaha
Also!!! Naga merrow water bonding!! Maybe they can practice their water magic?
no subject
OH CUTE... i'm leaning toward hypnotism for rei, but he'd wish he could manipulate water like alex!!! he's sunbathe around bodies of water a ton most likely tbh so i'm sure they'll start running into each other soon enough :3c
no subject
I'm definitely thinking of more merrow stuff this full moon! Im trying to organize it like you have haha. I haven't thought of all of it yet, but I was thinking maybe the merrow's more playful nature. She's also still gonna wanna take the shiny things.
Oh cool! marrows can only do a little..so maybe she can..make half a bubble, we'll see ahaha. Omg im just imagining a snake sunbathing and that's so cute.
no subject
since the potions are here to get interactions moving i'd even be cool if they accidentally drink themselves into being chattier than they would normally!
no subject
Yeah I was hoping to get to more intros but I couldnt catch up on time ;n;
