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.

Lena | Waver Velvet | Fate/Zero
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Timezone: Pacific (US)
Character Name: Waver Velvet
Canon: Fate/Zero (end of anime)
Appearance: skinny and short (5'2") for his age (19, if you can believe it), Waver has no sense of fashion but he thinks he dresses sensibly. read: someone help him stop looking like he's wearing someone's grandpa's hand-me-downs. No Monster characteristics yet! (he's a late bloomer??)
x | x | x
Brief: high-strung tiny mage in his world, even more high-strung monster-in-progress here; he dresses and acts like a crabby old man, but if you can get past his tsundere bullshit, he's intensely loyal, smart, and surprisingly braver than he looks. even if he still cries a lot.
Choice: monster (dog)
Event Plans: hit me with all that sweet cr!!
+ Waver's been working part time at the Apothecary quest helping to make potions and such so if your character's working there too, hmu! and yes, he's still a monster doing alchemy feel free to point that out and watch him get upset about it
+ speaking of potions, it'd be fun to play with the love potions a bit! probably accidental on Waver's part if he takes one, but I'm open to having him be the unwitting object of someone else's sudden affections!
+ hedge maze shenanigans sound cool. I love randomly-paired-up situations for cr building!
+ Waver will also be in the caves for the rumors quest if anyone's interested in that when it goes up
+ definitely eyeing that unexpected happening stuff HMMM
General Plans:
Waver's been very resistant to the idea that he's gonna start becoming more monstery but this month he's gonna start experiencing some changes. Not full shifting yet, but possibly some loss of control around the full moon, which I really want to play with! I'm here for the body horror and the angst (and the h/c tbh) so. yooo.
Other than that, he's sharing an apartment with Diarmuid currently and still settling in, trying to make some money, and also doing his damn best to keep studying magic despite various, uh, drawbacks.
Bonus: he's always been a shitty mage but he's actually a pretty good teacher! if any new Witches need some assistance, he can help with understanding concepts/theory and walking people through the basics, even though he can't actually demo or cast anything himself anymore.

giorno is doing hedge maze and dumb potion stuff, but he is also being a huge disaster this month at full moon so there are a lot of options if you are interested in any of them!
no subject
tbh I'm interested in any and all of the above so I may peek at the event post when it goes up and we can see if either looks more fun in the moment?
If you're on plurk, feel free to add if you like! I do most of my plotting on there 👍
no subject
and yes i will def add you, i also find it easier to plot on plurk /o/ i'm passiones
no subject
could be with love potions and some awful flirting on either/both of their parts...I'd also throw Caren into the Apothecary but I'm not sure what would bring her there in the first place...
no subject
My preference would probably be waver not being affected by a love potion, but some awkward trying to fend off her flirting might be funny
the apothecary is a bit of a passive thing so no worries! we can always see what the actual event prompts are too and go from there, I'm chill o7
no subject
Yeah, I wasn't thinking of Waver taking one, but Caren or NPCs for sure!
But yeah, we can also see what the prompts are and work from there, play it by ear! I'm up for that o7

And then maybe these two fashion disasters will find solace in each other.
...although Riku will tell him to his face that he dresses like an old man.
