Option one

Closed Stater for @moonglowmagic (Kate) Location: Starlight Bar

Kate was still reeling from everything that happened during the event. Thankfully none of her siblings has been injured, but she had lost a coven witch. Raking a hand through her hair before she pushed the door open to the bar that lead to a familiar face. "Hey Val," Greeting her with a smile. "Oh you know coming to drink to forget. You open? Or shall I scurry over to Bad Moon?" Teasing playfully as she took a seat at the empty bar. "So how is remodeling going? I feel like Poppy left this place a mess."

Dilan had heard the commotion coming from nearby and walked over to see her sister settled in a bush. "Yeah, don't think I can do that." Dilan remarked before holding out a hand to her sister. "What are you doing? Why are you hiding in a bush?" Asking a million questions a minute. "Are you okay?"

Safiye sat on the couch cuddled up in a blanket with her knees to her chest as she sat there practically disassociating while some random movie played. It wasn’t that she wasn’t use to the chaos, she was. After all it had been happening since she came to Lunar Cove, just this time felt different. She was physically changed forever, now she could shift into a bat. Which was different to say the least, she wasn’t sure how to handle it.

Dilan knew that things would probably be a struggle for Ken given everything he was going through right now. While she didn’t want to add to the mess or take away from his recovery time, she still wanted to visit and check in. Just as she knocked on the door she heard him yell about how someone did nothing all day. As she opened the door though she saw no one but the cat Cat. “Hello to you too.” Dilan greeted with an eye roll. “I was coming to check on you, see if you have any grey hairs yet.” She half teased. “Although if you prefer, I can leave and you can go back to yelling at your cat.”

Kate had heard lots about her sisters ex whatever he was now since he’d pretended to be dead, Malcom, rather than be a good sister and stay out of her business, she’d decided to be nosey. Mostly because she loved her siblings so fiercely and if anyone dared to cross them, well she’d make sure they had hell to pay. Walking into one of her favorite stores Blank Slate, mostly cause she needed restocks of her favorite sketch books and colored pencils, but also because Stevie had let it slip where he was. “Oh I’m fine trust me.” She said sharply. “Although if I need help disappearing for ten years I’ll ask for some help. Heard you’re pretty stellar at that.”

Valentina grinned at Kate's answer, taking a long drink from her glass. "Now that's what I like to hear, less work, more play- paperwork though? That doesn't exactly sound like hardly working," she laughed. "Is there a lot of it to get through? I mean, Pops was pretty...occupied there for a bit before she had to leave. I probably didn't help, spent more time in her office distracting her than I should've," she snorted, thinking back on all the unsolicited visits whenever she was bored. "Me? Same old, same old- well, I guess not exactly. I've been trying to get a hang of being a business owner. The running the bar part is easy, been a bartender forever and lets face it, between my face, my ass and everything in between, getting people through the door isn't a challenge. But the paperwork? Man, it sucks. I didn't even pass high school math, not sure how I'm supposed to balance a spreadsheet. It'll be what does me in, I swear- and I never thought I'd be saying that."

Kate gave a laugh at Val’s words before she shrugged. “It’s not bad paperwork, just filling out forums, emergency contacts and etc.” It was all in case something would happen to her, but also to attempt to prevent everything that happened with Poppy. “I mean…. Was she doing anything at the end? There’s so many people that she left up in the air and didn’t even talk to. Now she’s a wanted criminal for refusing to turn in her grimoire.” While she understood distractions as well as anyone, as a leader they had an example to set, one that Kate wanted to be proud of, not whatever in the fuck Poppy had been doing. “Do you need help? I mean I also run a business? And was left by my original business owner.” Kate remarked with a laugh, while Kaye’s leaving had been interesting she understood it and the call to the city. However, she was happy here making unique pieces for people to wear and bringing her sense of style from the city to Lunar Cove. “How did you graduate if you didn’t…” Putting her hands up to stop the rest of her thought. “How about I make an excel for you and you just put the numbers in it?”

Ivy was a pro at masking, she read that most people you admire were a few steps away from losing control ⸻  even in a community composed of supernaturals and a strong leading council, heartbreak and loss ran rampant. Ivy kept herself so busy with diving into work and keeping a pristine record of the tasks that Meena requested & the going-ons of Town Hall meant that her brain finally silenced that she didn't feel the haunting looming of her death, once the office closed, her mind was a different beast. ❛ I ordered us drinks, they should be dropped off any moment. ❜ as if on cue, the waiter came by with two pomegranate blood martinis. ❛ not rude at all ⸻ I've been getting ready for the masquerade, I officially have my outfit selected. How are you? ❜ focus on the future, then she won't have to think about the past.

“Thank you.” Safiye had to admit she was exhausted from the past few days, but hopefully this was rock bottom and things would start to get better soon. They had to right? Rather than dwell on it further she picked up her drink when it was sat down and took a sip from it. “Oh it’s fine I totally was rude. But things have been…” What was even the right word for it anymore. Crazy? Messy? Out of control? She was seconds from spiraling out. “That sounds fun. Is Kate making your outfit? I know she had some anonymous thing where you sent in measurements and the costumes are left at a safe location or something so she doesn’t know who is wearing what.” Rambling on for a moment, before she stopped herself. “I’m rough, but, that’s part of being alive I guess. Is the good and the bad?” 

"That you know of." Mac shrugged, he could picture there being a massive body swapping conspiracy, the coven seemed cultish enough to try and pull that off. "Don't be nervous." Mac said to her unspoken worries. "You'll do amazing, and if you don't, something unfortunate could happen to the poor sucker who wins and you could try again." It was a joke, but between his episodes, and Len, he knew that taking out Kate's competition didn't have to be so far fetched. "Well, I'm happy to keep playing shrink, who is likely in the middle of a malpractice suit, for you. I'm a good listener, my advice is questionable at best." The irony that he had just, sort of, given her advice was not lost on him. "Good, because I probably will never be pro-cult." He replied, though he'd think about it if she became Supreme, just to ensure that everything was above board. "I'll add a picture of Marshall Applewhite to your contact card as well." He nodded, pulling out his phone to do just that. "I have no idea what being an Aquarius has to do with anything."

“I mean there’s been records of past trials and they’re well watched.” Kate countered but let the subject of it drop as she flicked her ashes onto the ground. “It’s easy to say, when you’re not competing in the trials.” While she respected her siblings not wanting to be involved in the coven, this was something she was dying for on the inside. “Don’t say that.” She teased back before shoving him lightly in the shoulder. “It is questionable, very. You’re also definitely getting your licenses revoked.” Giving a laugh before she handed the joint back to him. “Don’t worry about it. I won’t pressure you.” She reassured. “I feel like joining the coven has to be your choice, not something that’s forced, you know?” She tried to explain it the best she could in the moment, but she knew she was failing. “I just hate a lot of what has been done in the past with the coven. I want people too actual want to be in the coven and to be inspired to be apart of it. To be proud.” Giving another laugh when he mentioned he was changing her to Marshall Applewhite in his connects. “You better not.” She warned while pointing over to him. “It means we’re good leaders, so it means I should be a cult leader.”

Safiye smiled when he mentioned he was getting out more, while it was slightly bitter sweet this is what she had always wanted for him. To be out in the world and experiencing new things. “Oh so it only comes to friends when we want to get out of our comfort zone?” She asked teasingly before placing the door. “Oh come on, we could have it as a little pet in the shop.” Continuing to tease. “Maybe Gia or Vivek can bring the bunny they share over. I forgot it’s name though, but we can always steal from the books. Cause Count Bunnicula is a pretty cute name.” Taking off his glasses when he asked into what and she shifted uncomfortably. “A werewolf.” While she knew it was still a sore subject given the last couple months what he’d went through, she didn’t want to trigger him. “I know she’s an adult and can do what she wants, but honestly? I’m scared and she won’t let me be there for it. I mean what if she dies?” Safiye rambled on with anxiety. “Yeah,” She commented softly only to perk up some when he mentioned joining the clan. “Thought you were against the whole clan thing? What changed your mind?”

Putting the council meeting her for the moment, even though there was work to be done there still, Nyra's attention turned to paperwork of a different kind, one she enjoyed a little more. It was the usual dealings, perfect to get lost into till a voice from the doorway had her look away from billings and stock orders. "Hello, Dilan," she replied with a warm smile seeing the young pixie, "Of course, come in. I always have time."

"Well since you have time." Giving the other woman a warm smile as she took a seat across from her, she crossed one leg over the other. "I was wondering how you would feel about me staying here more often?" She asked softly. While she loved her house, it was big and lonely, which was the last thing she wanted right now. "I was thinking maybe I could get a room? Maybe stay a week or two?" Wanting to start out small to not overwhelm herself or Nyra too much. "I just think being around people more would help." She admitted softly. "I know I'm not the most liked person in the fae court, but I'm okay with that." She remarked with a shrug. If someone had a problem with her, that was on them, not her. "Up to you though since this is your area."

The witch had little use for shame, it seemed like nothing more than an inconvenience to him and was best ignored, so it was absent as Mac made his way out of the coffee shop in last nights clothes, hair mused, entry stamps on his arm, the largest cup money could buy in his hand and dark sunglasses covering his eyes. He was itching for a cigarette, but he had lost his pack and his lucky lighter, again, somewhere in the blue of the previous night. He was about to wander off when someone spoke to him. "Not particularly, need to keep vertical." He replied, running a hand through his hair and musing it further. "You can join me if you want? I'm poor company, but walking with me is a smidge less sad than sitting on a bench alone."

Dilan looked over at the man who had just watched out of her sisters shop from over her sunglasses, she got up from the bench. "Why vertical? Afraid you'll pass out or something? I promise if you do not to draw on your face with sharpies." Dilan practically teased before pushing her sunglasses back up on her nose. "Why not?' Figuring what the hell since she still had a couple days off work before. she went hard into decorating for the masquerade. "You're right. Plus, I could probably use the company." Having company tented to make her feel less alone, which wasn't a bad thing. "So— what did you get into last night? Or is that a need to known bases?" She asked as they started to walk and she followed his lead.

"Huh? Oh, um," Brie had been planning to take her coffee to go but at the sight of the familiar face she nodded and offered up a, "sure I can sit! Let me just," She paused, yanking out a wetwipe from her purse as she began to wipe down the seat across from Dilan and dry it with paper towels. It took her a few seconds to toss out the discarded wipes and purell her hands over before she slide down into the seat across from the other woman and flashed her a smile, "There we go. Much better. Hi."

Dilan watched with a giggle as Brie sanitized everything just to sit down next to her. "You know I could have just got up right?" Offering in case Bri still was iffy about siting down next to her. "Hi though," She greeted back with a smile. "I really missed you." Reaching over and she gave Brie's hand a squeeze. "So how have you been? Tell me everything that's been happening around town while i've been gone. You know I love a good gossip session."

Dilan pulled her suitcase into the house only to be greeted by Leyla's happy voice. Turning around with a smile as she dropped the suitcase and took in the place for a moment. "Hi, I wasn't expecting all of this. It's usually my job to decorate." She said as she walked over to her sister and pulled her in for a tight hug. "I really missed you, kız kardeş. Thank you for this." Pulling back from the hug and she took in the room once more. "You did amazing at decorating." Thanking her once more as she walked over to get her suitcase. "So do you have any plans for today? Or maybe we could catch up?"

Safiye stood outside of Kiraz's door nervously pacing until her sister opened the door and greeted her good morning. While she wanted to rush and huge her sister she stayed still. "Günaydın." Finally getting out, even though her throat was dry and she was drained completely from barely eating. "I brought you food. I wasn't sure if you would want to eat though." Holding up the basket full of different breakfast foods that she'd spent the night preparing for Kiraz. "This is where your. living?" Looking around the warehouse as she took it all in. "Do you like it here?" Asking softly so she didn't offend Kiraz, she just wanted her happy and if this made her happy then she'd support it. "Do you want me to make the tea? You can set down?" Offering in case Kiraz needed a break.
