location: downtown market  who: open

         there were cops practically everywhere, and jasper kept his head low as he walked past them, last thing he needed was someone pointing a finger at him when he’d only come to the neutral zone to grab some snacks for the local market. what he didn’t expect was the sudden rain storm that passed over, droplets hitting his cheek before it started to lightly drizzle down, picking up the pace of his footing until he finally reached the store. as he pushed inside the small grocery store, he ran ring clad fingers through his slightly grown out locks, looking around for a wet floor sign before spotting on to put near the entryway. “hey, watch your step, it’s starting to rain a bit.”

In Memoriam

who: open to all @cpstarts​ where: outside maribel’s shop, in neutral territory

The hardest part of this whole process was getting the permits from City Hall. The paint and the design process had been easy but now that he was standing outside Maribel’s shop, with its small shrine out front, looking up at the blank brick wall, Gabe had to admit that he was feeling intimidated. He hadn’t done anything on this scale since high school and even then there’d been four people, including him, working on it.

“Well, the wall won’t paint itself.” Gabe said to no one in particular as he got to work, priming the brickwork to take the paint of the image he had planned. The image of a girl who was gone too soon who deserved to be remembered, not for the tragedy that befell her, but who she was and had been. Maribel was a person, not a number and he wanted to make sure everyone knew it.

Aurora hadn’t felt like cooking tonight, she had little to no groceries at home and her grandmother was feeling under the weather. So, she had volunteered to grab dinner for everyone. She had made her way over to Stranger’s diner, picking up burgers, fries, and milkshakes for the entire family. They better thank her, the blonde thought to herself. She was just a few streets back to her home when she went over a rather bad pot hole and boom, she felt one of her tires popping. She manages to pull the bright red mom van over to the side of the road. Getting out of the car, she sighs heavily.

“Yup, this is very much flat as a damn pancake,” she remarks.

Blurred vision, a folded piece of paper flying, hands fumbling, coats shoving & “FREEZE!” It escapes her mouth after the few seconds of absolute dread, hands stretched out, eyes scanning the floor as the few people around them stop in their tracks to stare. “Ah!” She exclaims at last with a bright smile as Alana picks up the folded piece of paper from the floor. “Thank you for your cooperation, you can carry on with your day now”.

( who   /   anyone ) ( where   /   behind stranger’s diner )

after announcing she was taking her break , bea stepped out the back door stranger’s. leaning back against the wall , eyes squinting in the nevada sun , she rubbed her back pockets in a less than graceful fashion. ❝ you’ve gotta be fuckin’ kidding me , ❞ she muttered. as usual , she meant to pull out a carton of cigarettes , but the only thing she retrieved was a torn piece of paper with a chicken scratch shopping list : 

cigs

eggs

poptarts

toilet paper ?

❝ oh fuck me , ❞ she groaned. she was so accustomed to the shape of the tiny box against her buttcheek , she could have sworn she had one when she walked out of the diner. call it a phantom limb. what was even the point of taking her break if she couldn’t smoke during it ? finally, she spotted someone who looked like they could get her out of her little jam. ❝ hey, buddy, you smoke  ❞ she asked, gesturing with her hand as if she already had the little guy between her fingers.

Chris stood next to the cell door humming as he waited for a Master or a Mistress to come down. He heard footsteps. " Hello ." He said softly

[lucasdragonelder-blog]

Lucas wandered down to the slave cells. He stopped in front of one . " Hello pet. Would you like to come home for a night with me?" He asked softly.

[liliacslavecp]

Liliac sighed. She had just gotten back to her cell after a rental and there was someone in front of her cell. " How can I serve you?" She asked

[litleballofspitefirebird]

Rose was in a mood. The short Phoenix usually was. She hummed as she walked into the Chateau. Hopefully there would be obedient slaves that she could play with. She entered into the cells . " You.. Come here." She pointed to someone.

[emmetoleary]

Emmet was told to get up out of his bed by one of the guards. He obeyed and watched as one of the guards opened the door. They grabbed him and brought him upstairs where he was bathed and plugged before bringing him to a room in one of the houses. They tied him to a bed and left " The master that rented you will be here soon." One of the guards said. About fifteen minutes later Em heard footsteps." Hello?" He called

          WITH THE WHOLE HOLIDAY set up, the cafe had been a bit busier than usual, and zane didn’t really thrive in fast paced environments. in fact he had been watching the clock to count down the minutes until he had a scheduled break before his shift ended, and the second it hit, he busted out the door before stumbling forward at an impact with someone, “ah shit, i’m so sorry, i was...” gesturing to the building, he waved it off as he turned back to the body in front of him, “you alright? uh, we have some like cool shit going on for the holidays, you should check it out. i get back from break in like thirty, i learned how to make this sick ass reindeer with the coffee foam and stuff.” he explained as he dug into his back pocket to fish out a cigarette, placing it between his teeth with a lopsided smile.

who: open to all where: hideaways bar

It wasn’t too late, but the day had been long and he needed a drink and to unwind before heading home. Gabe had closed up shop at 8 pm sharp and was out the door and heading for the bar, hoping for some decent company and maybe catch a few bouts and make a little cash.

He pushed the door open, the noise of the place hitting him like a wall. It was strangely comforting as he wove his way through the meager crowd and ordered a whiskey neat at the bar. Once he received it he told the bar tender to start a tab and finally settled onto a stool to mull over his thoughts and what had become of poor  Maribel Vasquez. Sure Coyote Point was dangerous but for someone to just get caught in the crossfire in the neutral zone was unusual. He raised his glass, offering it to his former client and the design that she would never be back for, “I hope you’re resting well... where ever you are.”

            IT WAS ALWAYS SO weird to go onto reaper territory, strict instructions to stay far away as possible as it could put her into some danger, but this was like a loophole. a chance to enjoy another side of the town she was practically forbidden from visiting. “oh my gosh! i love this song, i haven’t heard it since i was little.” it was some random rock and roll song, she couldn’t even remember the name or the artist, but it had her hands coming up to cup her soft cheeks in a fit of excitement, “what’s the name of it, i can’t remember?!”

             HE WAS AN ABSOLUTE sucker for holiday festivities, it hadn’t always been this way, most of his childhood around the holiday season were tainted with dark memories but not anymore, in fact he was elated when it came around now. the lights, the food, the celebration...it turned over a new leaf for something that used to be unpleasant, so here he was downtown with a little set of reindeer antlers on that he really didn’t remember putting on. maybe it was the spiked apple cider in his hand, but warmth filled him as he stood next in line for the bake sale, “i’m literally gonna go broke buying one of everything.”

starter for @cpstarts​ when: monday, midday, jan 3rd where: loose leaf

Midday break was something he’d looked forward to. Get his coffee and read his paper, which he could now do since Ariel had hired a few more artists. Settling in with his iced mocha with an extra shot of espresso, he flipped it over and whistled softly. The headline was damning. The Vipers were in trouble with all their leadership going away. “Looks like there was a shake up in leadership. Their lawyers are going to be working overtime for sure.” He shook his head, half feeling sorry for those in the family that would have to step up to keep things running smoothly. After Jasper’s arrest, it was funny to watch it blow up in their faces. After all, the Viper higher ups were being taken in for the very thing they had accused Jasper of, it was karma, plain and simple.

Lucas was in his office . " Come in." He said to the knock at the door. He was working on council things
