FOR: lila. ( @s3renities ). DETAILS: halloween fair, by a food booth.
there's an innate tiredness to lila that has always drawn kes in. maybe it's recognition - like kes can see the same blooming lilacs beneath their eyes, figurative or not; feel the heaviness of their bones. the gift and burden of a long - lived life, and continuing to live it - maybe out of spite. maybe because life is all there is. maybe because there's no other choice, but to continue onwards. maybe, kes is projecting. wants to be understood in the same ways they think they understand lila - without unloading all of their personal pain and struggles onto them - or anyone, for that matter.
kes settles on sharing food, like offerings to an altar - cane leaning against the side of the food booth as they carry too many things in their hands and arms. "i got you - not lemonade, because i recall you being allergic to it? i'm not sure what part of the lemonade makes you allergic, whether it's the... lemon, or the sugar - or a combination of the two - so i got you a water, which i'm - hoping you're not allergic to. do you like funnel cake? i always get it, and then i can never finish it - unless, once again - it's the sugar you're allergic to."

there's not much that kes remembers of their childhood before portum except for the howls of wolves and the flicker of flames. they suppose it was a good childhood; was going to be, at least - that their parents loved each other, that their siblings cared for one another. to be a werewolf was to be prideful, to take care of the wolf inside. to nurture one's needs, to bloom beneath the moon like the moonflowers that adorned their backyard. kes remembers that much; flowers that shone like moonlight, that twinkled against their dark, secluded backyard like their own garden of stars. they think they were excited, once, for the transformation.
and then it had actually happened; kes' foster parents had once said the pain was normal. that the first transformation is the hardest, that it's your body adapting to too many things at once. it didn't get better. the moon, once a nostalgic friend that kept kes company in their group home, became unfamiliar. associated with pain; over and over again. to be a werewolf was a beautiful thing; and kes only felt misery with every passing transformation.
it's still not better; their flare - ups at a near - constant. but it's not worse - and that has to count for something, doesn't it? it has to. kes needs to know it counts for something; anything. even being able to get out of bed - being able to commit to a mundane activity outside of work, wonder the ethics of caged dogs - has to count. right?
"well," kes begins, uptick of a smile despite the humorless conversation. "you'd be surprised, really. seen all sorts of animals as pets. doesn't make it right by any means, but," they straighten up from where they were crouched, watching a husky dig into the ground before curling up. "humans - think they own the world, and everything in it." there's an ounce of bitterness to their tone; remnants of that angry kid inside them. if they listened for too long; kes would open all the doors to the kennels, let the dogs run free once again. and they'd probably be worse for it. they wouldn't survive in the wild - just like them. kes walks to the next kennel, hand clutched firm against their cane. "once they see something wild - they have to break it." it feels too real to them, so they quickly add, "like the flicka movies, you know? the wild mare?"
@lcviathans / PORTUM PET POUND , with kiran .
there seemed to be a great divide between the people of portum — the ones that reveled in their afflictions and the ones that recoiled. jasper hated his curse, the beast that clambered through his veins and howled toward the night sky. his entire life, since being forced into their sickness, had been spent making up for the evil within, distracting himself and filling his mind with every minute detail of humanity. it was fascinating, learning of the mundane histories — the invention of the sandwich, the history of the printing press — yet it opened the chasm in his chest even further, salt into the wound, reminding him of what he could never understand. every so often, him and kes would pick something prosaic and banal to pass the time, and it would always become the highlight of jasper’s respective week. pottery painting or grocery shopping, mole - mapping or a game of table tennis. that week, they chose the pet pound. once upon a time, dogs had run free. now they were collared and leashed and given names like 'fluffy' or 'rover'. jasper found himself staring into the eyes of a surrendered collie, the same round and dark irises he had. “it's weird, isn't it?” they spoke, “i wonder where they draw the line. you wouldn't see people walking a badger around on a lead.”

FOR: your choice!. ( @chaosluvers ). DETAILS: halloween fair, far side of the dock.
"are you fucking - kidding me?" it's a huff beneath his breath as he kneels against the wooden pier, boot jostling from where it's slipped beneath two planks. as stuck as it could be. seagulls - or seagull shifters - pick at the fries he'd gotten only moments before, practically fighting for them. it's a lose - lose situation. lose his fries, lose his boot - lose his mind. "thought this was s'pose to be a fucking... haven." it's more grumble than anything, flopping against the dock as he admits defeat. might as well let the seagulls ( or, once again, seagull shifters - which creates a question of ethics ) pick at him, too. a shadow looms; and bunny's half convinced that it's death, ready to finally take them. he's always been one to bargain. "if you can get my boot, foot, whatever - all of it - out without maiming me, i'll fucking - win you the biggest stuffed animal this side of the dock. in the entire fair. in the fucking - world. pinky swear. on my life. on my fucking - ma's life."

FOR: beaufort. ( @thx-rangxr ). DETAILS: halloween fair, main dock.
"howdy, pardner," it's mocking - because bunny doesn't know how to choose peace, and any opportunity to mock authority ( yes; even of the parks, even if it's strictly nature related ) never escapes them. they tip their cowboy hat and attempt to slick their heels together mid - air; nearly trips over his own two feet. "christ - anyways," the toothpick he's been chewing on for the last five minutes snaps between his teeth, "heard you're a big ol' poker fan. you got any games going? any i can get in on?" he spits out splinters of wood. "i've got a real good eye. i could - help you out, y'know, if you're willing to split the goods. you get what i'm putting down?"

FOR: verena. ( @veilsdrawn ). DETAILS: halloween fair; the ferris wheel.
"i don't like this." is the first thing bunny says as the ferris wheel begins to move; higher and higher towards the sky. he can feel the metal sigh and shift with every movement; so they've resorted to staying very, very still. perfectly statuesque. deep breaths, eyes fluttering shut - bunny's aware he looks ridiculous right now, begins to mutter an excuse beneath his breath, "i'm not - scared - of heights, okay? i just don't like - moving in the air. from over a certain amount of feet. like fucking - planes. what's up with planes? are they magic too? 'cos that's - fucked up magic. that should be banned." their eyes flutter open, just briefly; and they're higher now, dizzyingly so. "listen," bunny lowers his voice to a whisper, "if i start crying, i'll personally pay you fifty dollars to never speak of it to anyone. i've got - a fucking, reputation on the line. a piss poor one, but - whatever. okay? do you agree?"

FOR: griffin ( @h3roisms ). DETAILS: halloween fair; just outside the festivities.
at a strong two weeks, portum's the longest bunny's ever stayed in one place. it feels unfamiliar; foreign, in ways he's not sure are good or bad. he's used to running; whether from the abilities that pull at him like puppet strings, the dead who call out - the future that demands to be seen, only to be blurred beneath layers of self - medication. or - from the physical, the tangible - the undeniably real. his wounds still throb, still heal - still remind bunny of what waits for them just outside portum. it's hard to forget. the sun is setting; almost framed over the pier, a great burning eye caught between the ferris wheel's spokes. it's peaceful, the sound of laughter in the air. the ridiculously cliche halloween music playing over the speakers. bunny almost feels sick.
"hey, you got a fucking - light?" griffin's the first person bunny sees with a cigarette of his own; bunny's always found it easy to approach others, especially when his own wants are of concern. he wags the unlit cigarette beneath his fingers. "i'll win you a fucking, bear or something - if it honks your horn, hoots your nanny - whatever."

FOR: your choice :3 ( @writtcn ). DETAILS: halloween fair; watching a performer.
magic's long since disenchanted bunny; it feels commonplace, now, predictable - like the leaves changing each year, the turn of the tide with the moon. he's seen it a handful of times, maybe two, throughout the years. little things; little magic. whether it were seemingly nimble fingers and bottomless pouches, the gas in a car that never seems to run out, a shoe that always fits. this, however - is something bunny can't fathom. portum as a whole; but also the performer in front of them. aerial silks that descend high into the sky before disappearing into the air, and the aerialist held up by them, somehow, someway. for a brief moment; bunny feels childlike - how he imagines wonder to feel. "how - the fuck do they do that?" it's more of a whisper; a volume unheard from them as they lean towards the person besides them, gaze never leaving the silks before them. "is there an invisible fucking - crane, somewhere? feels like i'm getting - punked, just watching. john quinones is going to pop out at me any minute now." wrong host; but the sentiment's the same.

FOR: calahan ( @silkeared ). DETAILS: halloween fair; dockside games.
"boss!" a slurred greeting that's explained by the straw glasses that encase bunny's head and lead into a bucket of what's - presumably - liquor, they almost trip over the dock's rickety planks to approach the older man. "i've got a fucking - offer of the lifetime. y'can't refuse - fucked if you do, actually. i'll start fucking - bawling, crying. a whole scene -" the cowboy hat's tilted almost entirely off his head as his free hand gestures wildly. "- if i win one of these carnival games - your choice, whichever you'd like - you give me a raise. it's fucking - genius, right? fucking, deal of a lifetime - that's what it is." never mind the fact bunny's been employed for barely a month, now. barely relevant, really, in their mind.

FOR: weston ( @unlimbed ). DETAILS: halloween fair; wherever the cotton candy is.
there's something inside bunny that's always been restless. even as a kid, eyes following their family everywhere, whispers as loud as the nighttime thunder. the urge to fight; to give others something to stare at. something to talk about, besides their mother's nightly rambles and daily hauntings. the past is behind them now; nothing more but vague memories - no recollection of voice or face, just a sad silhouette. but the urge is still there - the need to cause strife, even at their own disadvantage. sometimes, it's catastrophic - sometimes, it's just plain annoying. bunny's aiming for the latter, something to appease the war in his marrow just enough that maybe, just maybe, their sleep won't be restless.
a demon's cotton candy seems suitable; fitting. as bunny walks by, they lean over and chomp at the other's cotton candy, only to look up with unassuming eyes and a sugar - streaked smile. "sorry - was that yours? looked so good i couldn't resist. my - deepest, sincerest regrets. really! i'm deeply remorseful."

FOR: kiyan ( @irigy ). DETAILS: halloween fair; somewhere crowded.
"how sacrilegious," comes bunny's teasing tone as he pops over kiyan's shoulder, eyes a shameless roam over the demon's costume. the cross beneath bunny's shirt grows warm against their skin, as if it can sense their proximity to each other. "looks like you've gotten plenty of use out of it, already." there's a confidence that comes with being in the middle of a bustling street, games on either side of them - people brushing shoulders in either direction. can't kick bunny out of a public space; can't expect them to come crawling back on their hands and knees. "all you're missing is an angelic outlaw by your side. oh, wait -" his own attire is barely a costume at all; cowboy boots to cowboy hat. uninspired - already owned. still; bunny tips his hat with an arsenic - dipped smile, "- that'd be me, wouldn't it?" an angel by no means - but he can pretend.

there's a humming in bunny's ears; not ringing, or yelling, or whispering - a steady hum, like the ground itself vibrates with the lives of those lost. he feels it in his bones, tunnels in his marrow - and he ignores it in favor for a huffing laugh, "i'm not showing fucking - morality. like you said, dead or alive. doesn't matter." they're all suffering, just the same; bunny's never known different - even if they're heaving an ego, talking down to the dead - talking down to the man digging into a spirit's grave.
it's probably karma when bunny falls into the grave. there's a sensation in his lungs that's akin to sucking down ice; unwanted contact with the dead, no matter how brief, was like falling in their dreams. skin jumping first. bunny shutters, sputters like there's water in his lungs. doesn't move. it's kind of comfortable, actually. after the initial shock. "gerard's a fucking - lame name." comes out as a groan, hands coming to wipe the dirt and dust and whatever else from their eyes, cheeks.
he attempts to stand, or really - kneel. or both; it's uncomfortable, six feet below with two others. cramped. really is just a space for one. "poor man deserves better than a fucking... twin sized coffin, christ. barely has room to decompose." their cigarette had flown out of their mouth during the fall; now lays neat besides gerard's ear. "do you think that's a proper, fucking - trade? for whatever grave robbing you're doing?"
"Are you really going to show morality stealing from the dead when you do the very same to the living?" Homer scoffed, still inspecting the casket. He remembered the instructions carefully, echoes of each detailed guideline almost repeated to him into his ear— 'in my left chest pocket inside the jacket, check the lining where there's gray stitching instead of black, is the ring; you can have anything else they've buried me with if you give it to her.'
As he fumbles with the suit jacket that's tucked tightly under the arm of the vessel, Homer's nearly ready to give up. Not only had the spirit forgotten where he'd been buried, but he had almost forgotten his name. The only luck thus far had been that the grave was freshly disturbed for his internment.
It was almost sweet relief when he was able to finally pry open the lining, but the sign that he had reached the ring came from the sky above— in the form of Bunny Armstrong crashing into his findings.
"Talk about disrespect," Homer huffed, pulling back quickly. Hands to his face, he groaned in a shame he quickly brushed off himself. It wasn't his fault the real intruder had two left feet, or misjudged the soft earth, or was too curious for their own good. "Still alive, I hope? Can't really tell the different, you know, but I'm willing to do last rites and confirm if you really want to room with Gerard for all of eternity."

"yeah, well - i'm fucking cold too. they're not special just 'cos they're dead." it's blatant disrespect; and bunny's sure that in some oracle tome, somewhere, he's already being cursed by a thousand locusts, and sick crops, and being rotted from the inside out. whatever. he's never been raised like - this - to the extent that the man before them evidently has. "what the fuck did you take from them that a shitty coat's fair trade? a fingernail? a tooth?" it's a nice coat; which is why bunny's eyeing it over where they're standing at the edge of the grave.
"just admiring the view, sweetheart -" their voice rings sarcastically, lit cigarette burning between his lips. it's the only warm light in the cemetery; the only thing alight besides homer's skin. "- if you didn't want a fucking, audience for this - should've made less of a fuss. could hear you heaving and sighing all way by the fucking - gate. talk about disturbing the dea -" the soil beneath bunny's foot - just an inch too close to the edge of the dug grave - gives way; and they stumble forward - mouth agape as he fully falls into the hole.
OPEN TO: anyone ! LOCATION: portum cemetery, after visiting hours
"I have permission." Instead of sounding like he was informing them, Homer's tone rang out with insistence above all else— as though he was still hoping for some belief in his claim. "And it's part of an agreement. Any time something is taken, something is left in it's place. I think a coat is a fair trade. The dead are always cold." It would have been a viable excuse, but the circumstances rob it with even less integrity than what lies between Homer and the graves. Dirt is caught in his curls and sits in half moons under his fingernails where he is just barely peering over the edge of a disturbed burial. The twist of ink on his skin scatters the moonlight that falls over him. There was no such as hiding in the darkness here. "Are you going to gawk at me, or go back to where you came from?"

bunny skitters into the bookshop like an alley cat giving chase, except this time - perhaps he's the mouse. the door shakes as they throw it open, shakes more as they push it to a reluctant close behind them - eyes darting out the wide windows before turning. they jump back at the sight of ziggy, like his voice hasn't fully registered to them yet, only his blinding smile. "oh - christ, did you swallow a solar panel or some shit?" it's not how solar panels work; but bunny hasn't been to school since he was eight. they take a few steps forward; trying not to be frantic about it - trying to be normal. slinks behind a bookcase a few feet away from the other man. he's definitely ruining the peace - the vibe, as the kids would say; though bunny knows jack shit about that. "yeah, okay," he says slowly, hand reaching up to pull down the heart - shaped glasses from their head. they're cracked in one lens. "what kind of - mystery? like, nancy drew or the hardy boys or some shit?" he's never been one for reading; aside from their lack of education - the words never made sense on the page. they always jumbled themselves up, like they were fucking with bunny on purpose. bunny turns their head against the bookcase, leering out from behind to glance at the windows again. "hey, kid -" turns back towards ziggy, "- do you get a fucking, uh... commission, from this? 'cos i'll buy... two books, if a guy who looks like a beefed up willem dafoe comes in and asks if you've seen someone who looks like me - and only if you say no, that you haven't."
✧˚ · . 𝗙𝗢𝗥 ... open ! ✧˚ · . 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 ... aphelion books !
the orange glow of twilight filtered through the windows , bathing the bookshelves of aphelion in warm hues. golden hour had always been ziggy’s favorite time of day ; it reminded him of gentle birdsong and the rustle of the undergrowth as the forest animals darted back to the shelter of their burrows , hunkering down to weather the darkness that would soon follow. dark curls bounced with every movement as ziggy danced form one aisle to the next , precariously balancing a stack of books in one arm as his other hand moved to tuck them away into their designated space with deft fingers. he hummed a tune under his breath that only grew still when the gentle tinkle of the bell attached to the main entrance. the nymph grinned , a warm , mega-watt smile that could light up a room brightening his expression as he lifted his dark gaze. “ hey , welcome in ! we close in about an hour , but let me know if there’s anything i can help you with ! we’ve got a brand new display of mystery novels just in time for the season , if you’d like to take a look ! “

bunny's not unfamiliar to the concept of witches - or the supernatural in general. it's innate in them; though vastly unexplored - but traveling the states from childhood has shown him some shit. the unexplainable, explained; things that should've been beyond their comprehension, yet bunny accepted as fact of life. maybe it was their child soul's wonder, not yet crushed by their upbringing. brownies and muffins that made them feel like less shit might've well been the eighth wonder of the world. it's the only reason why bunny keeps popping up, particularly after scuffs. their eyes lift from the pastry display to eloise, eyebrows arched, "i think you're my fucking - favorite witch, in this whole - town." sure, it's only for their benefit - but it's somewhat genuine, all the same. a smile threatens their features, and bunny takes a step back to dig through their pockets; bringing up mostly single dollar bills and a lot of change. "i'll take whatever - how much of whatever - i can get with fucking, uh... thirteen dollars. and seventy six cents. i do like - blueberries. gotta get my daily vitamins in, or whatever."
♡ 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗦 : open . ♡ 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 : the sweetest tooth .
the characteristic smell of cinnamon and vanilla engulfed the place, sweet and warm, giving it its trademark scent, and eloise’s voice filled the bakery as it often did when it was devoid of too many clients. “ if you want my opinion, i think you should go with the brownies, ” a smile touched her features, gentle and welcoming. “ or perhaps a muffin, i’ve made them this morning and they have blueberries, although i also have the classic with chocolate chips. ” always enthusiastic when it came to her sweets, she eagerly waited for her customer’s decision, a giddy feeling between her ribs, the smile small yet lovely and unwavering etched on her countenance.

it's never taken bunny long to stir trouble, cause mischief; even in a safe haven like portum. it's never been a challenge of theirs, nor a goal set in place - it just follows them. has followed him for so long that he's not sure whether he's capable of not causing trouble. the llewellyns were cursed, either by madness or misfortune - and even as bunny armstrong, they just couldn't escape it. their gaze is sharp; bruises like shadows against the contours of their face - eyes lifting to marisela's with a short, sarcastic snort. "wanna take a guess?" it feels like even just their presence disturbs the very - essence of the coffee shop; the harmony. an accident waiting to happen. bunny's gaze drops to the barista at the pick - up counter; snatching the coffee out of their hands before they have the time to finish saying bun- the coffee burns every inch of his mouth, but he tosses the hearth witch a smile that's almost sardonic, "needed a pick - me - up, y'know how it is. gotta keep the caffeine jitters going - or else i'll fucking... combust. explode - maybe implode. long shift at the factory." there's not a factory in portum. "and, fuck's sake -" coffee dribbles from the corners of bunny's mouth as they take another long, barbaric sip and burns them, again, " - and how was your shift at the, uh," their eyes land on her again; whether they're using context clues or their abilities is lost on him, "fucking - hospital? eerie place."
⇢ 🔮 STATUS ﹕ open. ⇢ 🔮 LOCATION ﹕ hallowed grounds.
with a faint jingle of the bell announcing her arrival, marisela pushed open the door to hallowed grounds. she was tired – dead tired, really – but she was certain it was nothing a strong cup of coffee couldn’t fix. marisela had worked all night, the end of her shift coming with the daylight, and she practically dragged herself to portum’s favorite coffee shop. she just wanted a little cafecito before trudging home to rest. the smells wafting through the air were promising, to say the least. marisela glanced over the menu, trying to muster the energy to make a decision, but her eyes were blurring making it a near impossible task. slightly defeated, marisela sighed and stepped up to the counter to make her order, one hand rubbing at her temple. “something strong, please. the strongest you’ve got,” she said to the barista, giving them a tired but grateful smile. marisela paid for her order and stepped aside to wait for her name to be called. she caught someone’s gaze, and felt slightly obligated to engage in some small talk. “long night too, or just an early start?” maybe small talk would keep her awake long enough until the caffeine kicked in.

kes is outside if only to be outside. they prefer the sterility of the hospital - the odd, mildew smell of their apartment; the smell of books in the library - but then debby happened. debby is kes' next door neighbor; a lovely woman, by all means - older in her years, all spotted skin and grey hair tucked behind her pointed ears. which meant, of course - that she was ancient; at least in comparison to kes. debby the nymph moving in struck kes as odd; considering apartments were made of brick and metal and - considerably unearthly. then they peeked inside her apartment, offered to help her move despite their own building fatigue; and, well - plants. filled to the brim. a lush moss flooring, vines hanging down every wall. they're pretty sure there's a waterfall; they've stopped turning on their white noise machine at night.
and debby the nymph will not stop chastising them. you work too much, at all hours; you've forgotten the beauty of nature - take a walk, little wolf - it's like having a second mother right next door. endearing - and ( though there's a twinge of guilt whenever they think it ) annoying. of course kiran obliges - of course they do; they can't say no to debby the nymph. that's just not doable.
"do you - need help, mr. o'lachlan?" this is where kes finds themselves now, leaning heavy against their cane as they peer down at bas, asking despite his own insistence of being fine. that's - well, fine; they'll also ignore that three seconds prior, kes let out a shriek of surprise that rivaled even the most experienced banshee. going outside was a bad idea, maybe. "i have a tide pen, if you - want it." because - of course kes carries a tide pen. "ah, well - nothing much. had to send a patient to the e.r. the other day after they'd gone and gotten into a fight with a porcupine - not sure if they were a... regular one, or a shifter. so - be on the lookout for rowdy porcupines, i suppose."
some random park around town, ft. open
bas is hanging from a tree branch, moping about the injustice of not having wings ( angels have wings, fallen angels have wings ... don't they ? and he's sure there are some demons that have them too ... so he should as well ! ) when he spots a familiar face. unfortunately, this moment of distraction is all he needs to throw off the rhythm of his swinging, and he lands with a thud underneath the tree, staring up into the leaves.
“ 'm fine, ” he groans, pulling himself into a sitting position. “ gah, mum'll be so mad at me if i've got grass stains on my shirt again. ” as if he can't get the stains out himself — if not by magic, then certainly by hand, he's had plenty of practice. but it's never stopped her, and probably never will, much to his chagrin. “ what's new with you ? ”

with a paper bag tucked beneath their arm ( they wound up finding that - book - of theirs, one way or another; a private success that kes would wish to keep that way ); kes bounds the corner and begins their triumphed trot down the alleyway. it's a familiar alleyway; they can briefly recall the last bottle - neck fight they've had in that exact pathway - if they looked hard enough, kes could probably spot a familiar dried droplet of blood, or two. or three. nowadays; the alleyway served solely as a shortcut between two apartment buildings. one being theirs - obviously - and the other, evidently, being weston's. "well, mr. nathan, i hope you're not talking about me. i wouldn't consider myself a little bastard by any means." while their smile is wide, welcoming even - kes' gaze is pointed, flickering from the teacup saucer to wes' robe. "careful there, you're nearly showing off your pot o' gold to the entire pack of alley rats." even the quip has them turning red, just a tad - their eyes lifting to dart around the alley. "are you talking about biscuits? the stout little fella with folded ears?"
open starter capping at . . . five ( 1 / 5 ) set at . . . a random alley , roughly 3pm

" pss, pss, pss — " weston had at least had the decency to throw on a robe, the oceanic terrycloth held in place by a loosely tied belt, although the way he kept crouching and craning his neck sure was risking it all. "c'mon, it's primo," he continued to encourage, tongue clicking enticingly. in his hand was a gold - trimmed teacup saucer, loaded with tuna, and his target was the stray cat who'd been yowling at him like a beast while he had his morning ( morning for him, okay? ) smoke out on his balcony. of course, now, he was just standing alone like a dunce in his slippers. someone in the universe had it out for him, he was sure of it. with a scowl etched onto his features, he turned back towards the mouth of the alley when he spotted someone, quick to call out, "you seen a little bastard around here?"
