Leon had been lying low for a long time. The whole supernatural war was not at all his thing. He was a good time kind of vampire, not looking to fight a bunch of humans or good guys. He was in Havensdale for one reason, finding his maker. He had thought about Suzy every day since he had met her, and this was the best lead he had.

"Oh, sorry... you go ahead, I have no idea what I'm gonna get." @havensdalestarters

"I don't want to complain, but it's just not summer without at least one trip to the beach." Leila really was trying to be reasonable, but really, this is why she could get so tired of this town. "You understand, right?" @havensdalestarters

this town was suffocating. lux had always thought so even as a child, and being stuck here was her own personal hell some to fruition. she had been about to get out. she had been so close and then it was ripped away from her.

it was about time that charvi returned to the land of the living - somewhat living for her circumstance. she had spent long enough taking some time away from the drama, but even she couldn't ignore the rumblings anymore. if charvi wasn't awake, the earthquake had more that made sure of it. venturing out, she went for a walk to witness the damage, turning when she heard approaching footsteps.

She found herself outside of Franks'. It wasn't that Charlotte necessarily wanted a drink. She just wanted to get out of the manor (like she so often did) and the idea of being alone with her thoughts was not particularly appealing, and Franks' was one of the few options left in town, and having a tequila sunrise wasn't necessarily unappealing. Except that as she stared at the bar, she remembered the last time she had been there, with Ian and Isaiah and...No, she couldn't. She turned away, colliding straight into someone. "Sorry," she managed to get out. "I didn't see...Sorry." @havensdalestarters

"Now, this might just be wishful drinkin' on my part... But how likely do you think it is this 'big meeting' everyone's so fussed about is actually about planning my surprise birthday party? End of the month, you know. Jot that down." @havensdalestarters

"guysguysguys...i think i can rebuild some of the buildings around here. it's like some bricks, cement and wishful thinking, right? i'm telling you, i could really rock this"

Arriving at the diner just a tad later than the already late birthday boy, Isabel manoeuvred her way through Sal's, doing everything in her power to keep her eyes off Robbie as he attempted to consume an entire platter of party food. Honestly, she felt the urge to do the same, but she opted to wait, instead heading to the counter to order a beer. Her hand kept lifting to her hair, too aware of the blonde or concerned that it was more tousled than it should be? Who's to say? "Wait, does Sal's still do shots or was that just a fever dream I had?"

"Sammy, did you know that they have-" Kathy's words were almost literally knocked out of her when she crashed into the other person. "...You're not my husband." @havensdalestarters

@havensdalestarters

the magic box had taken a hit during the earthquake and the place was a mess. determined to try and get some semblance of order back in place, love had taken it upon herself to tidy up.

Having arrived fashionably late to his own birthday party / 4th July celebrations at Sal's as one so often does, Robbie's mission was now twofold; pretend to be unbothered by the existence of Isabel Valentine for the rest of the day, and avoid Joey Salvatore at all costs, forever. Easy as pie. Speaking of, "I'm starving," he announced before practically lunging at the party food, adding a third layer to his mission involving fistfuls of beige food. "God bless America. God bless Sal."

It had been years since Faith had seen Havensdale in daylight. She was somewhat surprised to find that much of it looked the same, just run down by time and emptiness. The evil powers that be had left their marks, sure, but her house was still there, begging for her mother to tend to the planting beds. That wouldn't be happening any time soon. It might never happen.
