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.

Mich | Zack Fair | Final Fantasy VII
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Timezone: Mountain Time MST
Character Name: Zack Fair
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Appearance: A doodle!
Brief: Zack is a former soldier for the super company ShinRa who went on the run for many months after being kept in a jar of chemicals against his will for four years. He’s a super soldier with mako and Jenova-cells enhancements and can probably bench press you without breaking a sweat. He’s positive, easy-going, friendly and hardworking. His full information page is here.
Choice: Monster- Chimera. He’s slowing becoming a spliced-up mess between a human, wolf, hawk and ram. He currently has wolf claws, a heightened sense of smell and some little horns growing in on the top of his head.
Event Plans:
- The full moon is going to make him somewhat feral, growing hyper-focused on people he likes and thinks smell good.
- He will be getting a taste and craving for raw meat. Hunting might be a thing. Sorry if he barks or bites you.
- He will take part in the festivities and more than likely accidentally drink a spiced drink? DRINKS
- Zack is just here for a good time. He likes everyone and canoodling so it’s time to enjoy another festival!
General Plans:
- Zack is dealing with the physical adjustments of turning into a monster right now. Which means he has a lot of headaches and pain with horns growing in.
- He’s come to realize that being around witches dulls the pain.
- Zack is very susceptible to bonds and temporary bonds at the moment as it eases the pain he’s in from these monster changes. He really wants a bond soon.
- He will be getting either fangs, a wolf tail or wings next.
- Wants to fight more Cwyld and do more quests. He likes working a lot.
- He needs to find someone who can make GIANT BROADSWORDS.

I'd say more fighting but Kyo only does martial arts, we don't see him use actual weapons in canon so idk how well that would go depending on what they might encounter, haha.
no subject
Honestly, I always pictured Zack being pretty decent at martial arts (seeing what his Angeal link is) so maybe they could throw some punches at each other for fun sometime??
no subject
But yes. I would approve of this idea. I'm debating having Kyo look into what he might need to do in regards to figure opening a dojo or something? Since while he obviously doesn't mind sparring and training outside and being outside in general, shelter from the elements is good and all.
no subject
Zack is probably more of a boxer-type fighter but he'd def hang out at a dojo if Kyo set one up!
no subject
That'd be neat! I feel like from what we see Kyo is prob trained with like, karate maybe. But I could possibly see him expanding from that if they had the equipment and Zack showed him some boxing type moves too.
no subject
I'm ready for sparring friends!

she's likely to take a drink or two herself, so it might not be a bad idea to just flirt and enjoy each others company? She's not going to bat an eye if he wants to have some raw meat
she's just going to take notes
and actually...it wouldn't be a terrible idea if he wasn't against the idea of teaching combat or physical training to do that sometime? Because she's. Used to being delicate, not a bamf like Zack is- while it's occured to her that she may need a Bond in the near future and has done some temp bonds before, I don't think she's realized how strong she may get
no subject
He would definitely flirt with her if they have drinks and probably even if they didn't have drinks--
Just don't judge him for wanting a raw meat snack...
He would be open to teaching someone how to fight. He's mostly a broadsword user but he's decent at firearms and hand-to-hand combat too. Zack could try! And yeah, that chimera strength is going to be SOMETHING FIERCE they can learn how to open doors without breaking them together?
no subject
Oh Zack, you flirt you~ she'd tease him back without drinks, given the right scenario! Or maybe in the wrong one. It's all good really~
and she won't, she might want the raw meat diet herself sooner then later...
maybe if they're lucky, they can track down a blacksmith in the city! Or maybe outside of it. So maybe...HMM, they could meet on the street/by a bar/in a bar/a pub that serves raw meat...depending on how the flirting goes, fire arm/hand to hand/sword combat could come up?
or talking about Chimera strength because now we may need one or the other texting the other about chimera strength accidents
no subject
That chimera life wanting raw kills for lunch... They can deal with it together LMAO
Meeting in a bar or on someone around town (I'm thinking Zack's staring at a pen of sheeps...) sounds good! Do you have plans for top leveling in the event? I can tag you there or if you have any open stuff I can tag! Making closed threads works for me too and I can do a starter if that's easier :)
no subject
yeah they'll just have to live the bleu life LMAO...
(Zack herding sheeps...sounds familiar...LOL) I was thinking of top leveling there, for sure! Or an open top level with closed headers-depends on works better! if you wanna work with a general prompt or a specific one, lemmie know and I can do the thing :)

Kaede's still pretty wary of Bonds, but she's temp bonded without dying once. So she'll be more likely to listen to Zack's sales pitch about them.
Also my vote is for wolf tail next because it's cute.
no subject
Zack 100% is into bonds because it helps with his pain so much. If she's willing to try it he'll try it too.
I SORT OF WANT THE TAIL TOO... That tail just wagging every time he's in a good mood. Whapping stuff because it's huge and annoying... Knocking over crap all the time.
