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.

Kes | Asra Alnazar | The Arcana
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Timezone: AEST
Character Name: Asra Alnazar
Canon: The Arcana
Appearance: Lisa Frank Floof
Brief: Enigmatic magician, tends to be gentle and charming with most but will turn surprisingly harsh if you get on his bad side.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans: Asra is going to be curious and happy enough to participate in the festival, and will probably tease about the romance and love things (maybe offer some love readings to people if he can get away from it) but be a little hesitant on actually emotional intimacy because he's dumb like that. He's also helping with the quest to get the roses so I will probably add something for that.
General Plans: ALRIGHT SO. Asra is a ~wandering magician~ type so he is absolutely terrible at settling down anywhere and has a terrible habit of just disappearing on people and turning up unexpectedly. He's a cat basically. So one of my big goals for him is for him to make more friends and specifically people he can couchsurf with. Yes he knows that there is accommodation available, no he doesn't feel like taking it up. He is terrible like that. So if you would like a magician to just show up at your character's place and make himself at home for a few days please hit me up!

My plans for the event in general are kinda vague but he'll be around, and I'd be down for something in the hedge maze or for stupid accidental love potion shenanigans! in general, Waver's doing his best to deny being a monster because he's supposed to be a mage and he is still just a wholeass salt mine about this whole thing

tho if asra flirts with him he'll probably just blush like crazy and get extra tsundere about it, which i'm here for tbh
I guess we can see what the prompts are like when the post goes up and decide from there? I'm leaning toward love potion rn because Waver needs to be flustered, maybe he can accidentally drink something and fall for Asra (or the other way around if you prefer, with Waver freaking out about having some rando fawning over him!)
mind if I add you on plurk, btw? :>

And go right ahead! I love new people <3

And sweet, me too!

oh also! Minako will be moving into a mansion with her castmates so couchsurfing with them is totally an option once they get friendly enough!

Newt is someone who's pretty easy to tease about romance and such because he's an awkward thing and fails spectacularly in these kind of things, but he can definitely end up crashing at Newt's place for a bit because Newt is also too nice to not say yes.
no subject
Asra will definitely tease Newt about that, though if it's upsetting him he will stop since he's not (usually) a bully. But if Newt is ok with some teasing and maybe being dragged around for friendly exploration, Asra is good for that.
no subject
As for friendly exploration, Newt might eventually drag him along if he's willing more than anything. He probably leaves the city walls often to do his own thing and explore on his own.
