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.

Steff | Connor | Detroit: Become Human
Pronouns: She/Her
Contact:
Timezone: GMT+1
Character Name: Connor
Canon: Detroit: Become Human
Appearance:
Connor is 6 foot, on the slender side with brown hair and dark brown eyes. He has a circular LED in his temple to indicate that he’s an android. Currently his arms and legs are scaled up to the elbow/knees with blue and orange scales, and his fingers and toes are webbed.
Brief: Connor is an android from Detroit, year 2038. He’s an advanced prototype created to assist the police in catching deviants- androids that have gone rogue and gained emotions and free will. As predicted he’s gone deviant himself, and now this three month old man has to battle with having strong emotions and, now, turning into a Merrow. Fun!
Choice: Merrow (monster)
Event Plans: Well for the full moon Connor will be stuck in Merrow form, blind for the most part unless he’s submerged in water. Since that’s only his full moon form, it won’t last for long and he’ll be wandering around again soon enough! He’ll absolutely try tasting a potion, come smooch a robot. He’s never done it before. He’s bonding with Hank at some point and maybe Justine (though that hasn’t come up ICly yet) but he has room for one more in future ;)
General Plans: Bonding with people, trying to keep his Merrow side in check. He works at Pile’s Petagorium right now, swing by and say hello! Let him charm you into getting a dog! He has an IC inbox, it’s linked on his navigation I’m not linking that too because I did this on mobile. I’m so tired.

Paris would like to smooch the robotI mean uh--He might also bring up Bonding, maybe?? He's still on the fence about that so.
no subject
no subject
But yes! Merrow bonding. c: We'll see if it comes up, since Paris isn't quite used to the idea yet himself.
no subject
Connor is quite eager for bonding because it'll help keep him from going feral and also it's all about being close to people and forming something special with them and he's never had that! So he's excited
no subject
Oh good! Paris has never had it either, his response is just to be nervous. I think it would be good!!
no subject

Kissing is going to be a blast of sensation for Connor at first because he's literally analysing someone's mouth with his tongue so he's gonna be like /squint
