Skye & Sebastien @ofbloodandsnow Country Club v-day

The night was a blur of hours and minutes, liquor and lipstick-pressed kisses. His shirt was torn open wide, smeared gold flecks in fingerprints across his chest. He needed a cool breath of fresh air. So with an unlit cigarette, Skye stumbled out onto a balcony closing the sounds of the night behind him. Muffled music and party at one end and an open night sky full of stars twinkling in the frigid night sky. Patting his empty shirt Skye turned his back leaning on the edge he smiled his eyes glossy and smile dimpled, "You got a light my guy?" He asked warmly his New York accent thicker after the drinks he'd drank all through the night coursed through him making his body lax and loose and his face warm and flushed. The cool air at this point was much needed giving him a comforting chill.

Where: The Selvi House

With: Dilan + Leyla (@cantfightmoonlight)

Dilan finished putting on her white dress and walked out into the hall of her house to see Leyla’s door open. Walking into the room with a knock on Leyla’s door, she gave her sister a smile. “Hey,” She greeted the other as she moved to sit on the bed. “You here getting clothes or stopping by for a visit?” Dilan questioned with a laugh. “You know if you wanted to see me you could just have lunch with me again like you do everyday.” She teased. “So….” Looking down at her white dress that was like the elephant in the room. “Are you coming to painted love tonight?” Asking nervously, she started to fiddle with her necklace. “I was going to go since well I’m required and all.” Shrugging it off as if it didn’t matter. “Part of the whole event planner thing, you know?”

Daphne & Elif kiss and tell - @cantfightmoonlight

Daphne would be terribly amiss if she denied the fact that this particular holiday had left a somewhat heavy weight in the pit of her stomach. In the past this day was one where she and her husband would curl up in bed, order delivery and play the game of what if and imagine their future. And every year she insisted on no gifts and every year he'd claim it was not a gift but a necessity and those necessities had filled up a jewelry box as well as a closet full of things she couldn't look at without the threat of regret. It was better this way- she was sure of it but she needed a drink and drinking alone was a level of sad she didn't think she was ready for. So she drank and wondered if every inch of this town was decorated in lace and hearts and reminders of this day. Sipping her drink she sat in an empty stool spinning towards the brunette to her right and smiled, "So who decides who the most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes in town are?"

"Here we are—oh no! That face..." Nico couldn't suppress a laugh at the trepidation so clearly visible in Jasmine's expression as the pack and other brave citizens assembled along the beach for the polar plunge. "Come on, it's gonna be fun!" He encouraged as he passed one of the drinks he held over to her. "We've swum in the ocean before, remember? The ocean's our friend! Not a glacier or an iceberg in sight, this is nothing!"

closed starter for @cantfightmoonlight (leyla) where: the daily drip when: sweet heart's week, start of the blizzard

≽·≼

The wind picked up with little warning, whipping the peaceful snowfall into a blinding storm within a matter of minutes. Kui pulled their coat tight around them and tried to get some cover from the long scarf wrapped around their neck, but they knew that making it back to Blush in this mess was asking for trouble. 

The lights were still on at the Daily Drip, but they had to fight against the wind to get the door open and were accompanied inside by a flurry of snow before they managed to shut it behind them. Kui looked around, catching their breath. “Oh my god, I’m so glad you’re here. It’s gotten crazy out there?” they exclaimed, upon seeing Leyla was there, before they looked a little sheepishly to the other pixie. “I guess you’re probably closing but is it, um, cool if I hang out here for a bit? I don’t think I could make it home through all that, even gliding.”

But it's comin' down, no sound, it's all around Like snow on the beach

SWEET HEARTS WEEK - SNOW IN PLOT DROP

Sweet Hearts Week was going off without a hitch. Hope filled the newly paved streets and love was in the air as well as the sudden flakes of snow that began to fall one by one. Before the Lunar Covians knew it, they found themselves in the midst of a snow storm. Authorities advised everyone to stay inside and buckle down for the night as the snow continued to grow worse and worse.

It's the last snow fall of year and the Lunar Covians now find themselves snowed in with people who they least expected.

REMINDERS

This is the last plot drop for our Valentine's Day event! We know its finally starting to get warm out, but we wanted to give you all one last snow related plot drop you can react to before we transition the RP over into Spring!

This is a pairings plot drop, but you can feel free to react to it with more than just your pairing below if so chose. We wanted to also pair characters up who may not have spoken to one another all too often in the hopes of building connections.

With this plot drop, the event is over. You can return to your regularly scheduled starters and threads, but we do ask that you write a thread with your pairing below. Your characters can find themselves trapped together in the blizzard or, if you're not in the mood for snow anymore, you are welcome to write a thread together about something completely unrelated. We just ask that you are branching out and plotting with charries you might not have had the chance to yet.

Last by not least, we hope you have fun!

closed starter with: @thelatekuijames where: outside of blush boutique when: during the sweet hearts week

Amrita knew food and gifts didn't fix everything. She knew that some things, some actions, went too far. But having broken into the Town Hall more than a couple of weeks prior and having read some transcripts with very, very personal details required some action on her part. Still, the young witch had avoided it. She had thrown away many letters in an attempt to apologize over ink without having to face Kui. Any sort of glimmer of a good self-image had crumpled away in New Years. Still, Kui should know that Amrita now knew things and should be held responsible. So, she made some red velvet cookies in the shapes of little bears and wrote a lengthy apology. It was early enough in the day that Amrita was confident the boutique was closed, so her goal was to leave the cookies on the door attacked by a bow and just walk away, but of course as she took a step to leave the front door of the store, she slipped on some snow and fell on the ground. "Heavens!" She wheezed as she hit the cold, wet pavement floor.

Who: @swimmingwiththefitzes Where: Valentine's festival

Valentine's day.

Every other year of Bex's life, the day had meant very little. It meant a longer shift, sometimes; extra tips, lonely customers, angry girlfriends. Free drinks and also said free drinks thrown in someone's face. Bex had had more than one drink thrown on her by an angry girlfriend or wife who had come to drag their boyfriend or husband back home.

Bex wasn't used to actually celebrating it herself. But here she was, strolling along the streets of Lunar Cove, dressed in a pink and white ensemble, hand in hand with Billie. It was strange-- not bad strange but good strange. Strange in a way that made her heart flutter and strange in the way that made her skin buzz. Strange in the way that she liked how it made her feel even though that voice in the back of her mind kept trying to tell her that she shouldn't.

Trying to ignore it, though, Bex turned to look at Billie, her cheeks already flushed and warm. "What did you wanna do first? I heard there's a kissing booth, I wonder who's running it this year," she teased.

 Break-Up Bar & Exhibit at Art in Motion

@dvsconocvdo

She wrapped a scarlet ribbon frayed on the ends delicates around her finger, over and over again, her eyes falling slowly to all the momentous that hung on the wall. The It's Over scene from the Notebook played and fell into the hum of background noise all around them. Photographs, love letters, ticket stubs, labels from bottles of champagne all telling a story, a love story with two different endings. Aiyla could feel the impact of it, ending and starting again. Loving, unloving, heartbreak and healing. She swallowed the weight of emotion and took a large gulp of her champagne. Unraveling the red ribbon as the tip of her finger had turned cherry red she blinked pulling her eyes away from the wall to find something else to focus on. A warm and inviting smile, "A lifetime doesn't seem long enough to feel it all. Does it?" She asked the brunette beside her.

Where: The Fae Ring

With: Eren + Dilan (@cantfightmoonlight)

"You know you could be at least a little fun." Dilan told him as she took a seat across from him and continued to type on her iPad. "Everyone else in town has went to at least one event, Eren." She pointed out, barely looking up at him. "Plus the rest of them didn't make me track them down." She added under her breath. "You know there's still plenty of activities for you to go too and you know what none involve having to touch another person if you don't want too."

[moonglowmagic]

Where: Love on the Horizon

With: Poppy + @aiylabaysal

Poppy was unsure about coming to Love on the Horizon, but she figured what the hell; even if everyone around her was happy and in love. Figuring she could at least relax on the ferris wheel and look out at the city, she handed the man her ticket and stepped up on the plate. Getting into the first open cart, she unexpectedly heard him usher another person forward. "Oh this is a solo ride." She tried to explain when she saw him moving Aiyla towards her cart. "No offense." She told Aiyla, but given their last interaction had been the council meeting where she'd got therapy she wasn't exactly sure Aiyla wanted to talk to her. Unfortunately the guy didn't listen and shoved Aiyla forward once more. "Ummm.. okay guess we're going on this together." Poppy said as she scooted over. "Come aboard."

[moonglowmagic]

Where: Lock and Key

With: Poppy + @cantfightmoonlight

Poppy adjust the bulky lock that was hanging around her neck as she continued to look for who had the matching key. As she attempted with the guy closet to her, she also noticed another familiar face about. “Hey,” Giving a wave to Elif as she pulled her lock back when it didn’t fit with the key. “Nice try tho.” She told him before patting him on the shoulder and moving away from him with the flip of her hair. “It’s nice seeing you out and about.” She hadn’t seen Elif since their last conversation that was at her place which had ended on a rather question mark of an ending. “Want to try your key? Or should I go try elsewhere?” Offering an out in case Elif wanted to take it. 

[moonglowmagic]

Where: The Kissing Booth 

With: @swimmingwiththefitzes

With Poppy out for the kissing booth it was now a free for all when it came to who was behind the booth. Filling up the chapstick bin once more for the participants and those behind the booth. “Make sure to take the chapstick with you. Don’t put it back.” She yelled to the crowd as she warned them. Tucking the clipboard under her arm as she turned around she ran into the person behind her in the packed bar. “Sorry,” she apologized when she realized it was Billie. “Wait— are you here for the booth? I could use someone to fill in.” Smiling brightly as she tried to persuade the other. “I’ll even give you a fresh chapstick.” Pulling one out of her personal basket that she’d been using to refill the other.

[moonglowmagic]

Who: Dilan + @cantfightmoonlight Bri)

Where: Break-Up Bar & Exhibit

Normally Dilan would find joy in others pain, but given what this holiday meant for her there was no joy to be found in the pain. Instead it was filled with anxiety and grief of her own. Taking a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and she turned to look at the next piece of art. However, she was greeted with the familiar face of Brielle. “Bri.” She greeted curtly. “I would say it’s good to see you, but we both know I can’t lie.” She remarked bitterly. “So are you here to apologize for stabbing me back or joking about my sister almost dying?”

[moonglowmagic]

Where: Painted Love

Who: @skyecarrington

Dilan could feel her anxiety starting to raise as she put on her goggles for painted love, it was a cruel reminder of everything that happened last year. Rather than hide out at home she wanted to show she was stronger than this, that she wouldn’t crumble at the sight of having to do this again. Looking down at the bucket of paintballs she was handed and her shakey hands held onto it tightly. Not even bothering to try and figure out where to throw the balls as she wondered past people. Feeling her chest tighten as the anxiety started to build more, she needed air. Pushing past the dozens of people and she kept ahold of her bucket for dear life.

As the game got underway she panicked even more, to the point balls were spilling out of her bucket onto the floor without a care from her. Ducking behind a hay bail as she tossed the bucket down and paint splattered everywhere from her clothes to legs and her shoes. Rather than make a fuss about it she was focused on trying to breathe, putting her hands to her chest as she tried to ground herself, but every time she closed her eyes the memories of Hande hurting her and Leyla just came back. Sliding down the hay bail until she was on the cold ground, she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Not wanting to be seen as weak though she worked to fight them off when she heard her name being called. Digging her nails into the palm of her hands while inhaling a sharp breath. Looking up to see Skye and she cracked even more as the tears started to fall. “I— I real— ly wanted to do this.” She stammered out eventually. She even had on the white dress and white coat for the event. 

Wiping away the tears with the back of her hands as they streamed down her face, she was paralyzed from moving any further. “I’ll be fine.” She tried to promise him, even though right now she was as far from fine as humanly possible. “Just— Just go have fun.” She told him as she tried to shoo him away with the flick of her wrist. “Don’t you have like half the town waiting on you anyways? I mean we can’t let them all down.” 

[moonglowmagic]

Where: Starlight Bar

With: @briarreed

Poppy sighed heavily as she walked from around the bar when she saw her sister come in. “Hey,” Greeting her as she crossed her arms over her chest, she looked over at the kissing booth where Noel was currently and she wasn’t. “Noel is doing well.” She commented half heartedly, putting her hands in her back pockets. “They seem to really love her this year.” Maybe even more than they’d loved her in the past. “Do you think it’ll always be like this?” She asked softly, turning towards Briar with a raised brow. “You know where the town is hating me or disappointed or whatever you want to call it?” Normally she didn’t care, but as a leader she had to care. “Anyways enough about me. How are things with you?"
