Where: Town Square Open to all @crestlestart

In her long life, Claudia had become rather good at acting like a mortal. Her young appearance meant she could pull of the innocent doe eyed girl very easily. She pushed through the crowds of people, her eyes looking up at the sky. There was something off about it... something magical. She could sense it. She'd seen something so similar on her first visit to the town centuries ago. Something was happening again in Crestle. What was it with this tiny weird little town?

"What is that?" she asked, keeping her tone soft. "Have you seen the sky like this before?"

[happyxholden]

“Here, here, I’ve got one for you. Okay,” he pretended to clear his throat as he prepared to tell his joke. “The past, the present and the future all walked into a bar. It was tense,” the male grinned, hitting his hands against the table.

[thexgerry]

“You don’t know anyone who wants a bar job do you?” the wolf half laughed, rubbing his head.

[hazelxkingston]

“If there’s one good thing about this weekend. I barely feel a thing.” She lifted her glass of wine and took a long sip. “I can keep going all day and not a thing... Trust me nothing will knock this wolf out before the full moon. I’ve tried.” 

[badboybradx]

Bradley wasn’t particularly thrilled about being back in Crestle Cove. He’d left for a reason. He’d always felt out of place here. He wasn’t a wolf... he wasn’t considered a full witch either... maybe they were just jealous of his magic. He laughed out loud before realising he had done so. “I’m not this weird all the time, I promise,” he looked up, giving a smile to the stranger. “You don’t happen to know of any work going for this weird guy, do you?”

[bethxbenton]

Beth sat, biting her lip. “It’s weird. I... I don’t remember but I know I saw it. I keep trying to remember their faces. But I can’t remember.” She looked up at them. “Do you think... I dream like this?”

[darkxryan]

The crowd had encompassed the library, that was now in deep flames. He looked up at the smoke, he could feel it in his lungs. He couldn’t held but feel like something or someone was trying to stop his research. He put his hand out. “I wouldn’t get any closer mate. If the flames get any larger...I’m sure they’ll get them in hand soon.” He glanced up, twisting his wrist slowly to pull the fire under control. 

[theoldhenrikson]

Tomas did his best not to look directly at the sunrise, but even now he struggled. After hundreds of years... Many believed vampires were tied to the sun, the ex Henrikson had a whole other theory. One he had little interest in sharing with other vampires. “Tell me, how can something so definite be so beautiful? I have watched a thousand sunrises and yet they still captivate me.” 

He sighed, dropping his cigarette on the floor and looking towards the hiker. “Sorry to disturb you.” 

[pennyforthoughtsx]

Penny hit her head against the desk, closing her eyes. “If anybody could kill me right now it’d be greatly appreciated.” She pulled up the paper work. “Are you any good with numbers? I swear i’m so tired my brain is turning to mush.”

[callmecailan]

Cailan blinked, looking up when he heard a voice. He hadn’t realised he’d been lost in his own thoughts, unsure how long he’d been staring into space. His eyes felt dry and he rubbed them. When had he last slept? That wasn’t like him. He’d read his family’s grimoire from cover to cover... gone through whatever material he could find without drawing too much attention to himself with the coven... he hoped. He was determined to help Aria.

“I think I need another coffee... or a coffee drip,” he half laughed, fingers curling around the old book. He covered it with a newspaper. 

[emmalawrences]

“It’s got bloody cold outside...” The werewolf folded his arms. He was regular around town, but after the full moon he was trying to keep his head down. His bruises hadn’t quite healed and he didn’t want to risk one of the wolves scenting him. “You don’t know anywhere that serves coffee late do you?”

Open to All Where: Outside Crestle Moon Bar (I will add this to locations now I'm feeling a little better) @crestlestart

Reyes flopped down onto the bench, his eyes glanced up at the dark sky. It was a clear night, he could see everything. He took in a breath, he was glad for the fresh air. The bar had been so stuffy, he'd needed a moment.

“Hey,” he said, letting out a soft sigh as he leaned back. "Is it okay if I sit here?" He smiled. “I feel like I spend my entire life asking people what they want to drink and listening to their life stories, listening to the gossip, the drama. But I do it all with a smile on my face,” he rambled, letting out a laugh. “The fresh air feels good though. It’s been a long night stuck in there. How’s yours been?” He paused. “Okay, now I am the one sharing my life story,” he said with another laugh.

[ladyxclaudiax]

“Okay, so tell me. Any gossip?” the vampire asked, a slight smirk on her full lips. “I leave town for a few days and there’s something not quite right. Or am I imagining things?”

[thexgerry]

Gerry leaned his weight against the counter, letting out a breath. His blue eyes took in the dimly lit room. A place he knew so well... and right now, he almost felt like a stranger. He was ashamed of himself and the way he’d fallen apart since his father had died. He was doubting himself as a leader, a friend... as a good person.

He glanced up, managing a smile. That’s who he was... Gerry the happy bartender. “Sorry, sorry. I was lost in my own thoughts for a moment. Just one of those days, huh?” He paused. “Haven’t quite been myself lately. But uh... something bad happened... at the weekend.”

[hazelxkingston]

“I woke up like... 4 hours ago and I haven’t stopped eating since.” She lifted the burger. “I am exhausted but at least i’m still alive. What is wrong with this town that we count that as a major victory?” 

[arinthedark]

Aria had put herself into more danger then she’d realised. She’d lost track of the full moons... It was unlike her, but her mind had been so foggy lately. “I think... I think i got bitten.” She held out her arm, the skin around it burning.
