#darkestevent3

Sitting on the stoop of her Queens apartment the blackout didn’t bother Athena so much. Once she knew her grandfather was settled in, the old man opting to just sleep through the blackout, she let herself just enjoy the relative quiet. Still, it was an odd set up, Athena having placed two candles beside her, burning bright as she read her book on the steps. At least in the relative dark it wasn’t so obvious the book was a romance novel. She felt a pair of eyes on her and did not look up from the page. “Can I help you?” She asked in an uninterested tone as the heroine was being swept up into the arms of her hero on the page. 

Where: The beach 

Nia had been laying out on the beach letting the sun warm her skin. Her hat over her face, as she sense someone’s approach. She sat up then and looked at the snacks she had sprawled out and some of the togo plates and then the other person. “Listen...I’m not cheap by any means...and I do have groceries in my home...but they said all you can eat and I simply interpreted that as all I can eat later today, so if I have some togo plates and snacks and plan to get some more later...they said it was free...”

“I have to say the red carpet is a very nice touch.” She admitted with a laugh, she watched as some of her fellow witches walked down it getting their pictures taken and posing in tons of different positions; like they were walking an actual red carpet. “Have you thought about what poses you’re going to do? Or you going to try the get down it as quickly as possible method?” She asked. She couldn’t decide if she actually wanted to do this, or just try to wait out the photographers until they left. “Do you think they have a back entrance? I’m not against skipping this and using that entrance.”

“So I gotta hit all the blue cups for the teddy bear? Got it.” Eliot confirms with the owner, the toy rifle in his hands. He breathes in and out, then with a sharp glint in his eyes he takes the shots. One, two, three... and four blue targets fall one by one. Lowering the gun, he grins at the owner whose jaw dropped with the shock. “Forgot to warn ya-- I spent a summer working at a carnival once and burned most of my paycheck on games like these so...” Instead of keeping the giant stuffed teddy bear, however, he hands it over to the kid that was crying about losing the game. “Here, you can have him. Merry, uh... Christmas? That’s a thing, y’know, Christmas in July.” The child and their parent thank him before going off to get some ice cream. Eliot, content that he made that kid’s day, turns his attention back to the game. “Still got it,” he picks back up the gun. “Alright, what next? Any prize you want?”

Where: Isaiah’s Yacht

Closed Starter: @brcveheartx​​

Guilt isn’t a familiar feeling for Lysander, but, when a new member joined the pack not so long ago and her face was about as familiar as their own, they felt plenty more foreign feelings than mere guilt. Since the reunion, things between them have been delicate to say the least. Cordial small talk in groups, but never alone together. At first Lys figured it best to give her some space and let her come to them when ready. However, seeing her now all dressed up, blending in so beautifully, but with that far off, lonely look in her eyes they know so well... it seems like she could use an old friend in a crowd of strangers. And maybe they could too. They take a couple hefty chugs of their drink before making their way through the crowd to meet her. Never having been at a loss for words around her, it’s shocking how tongue-tied they are right now, “...Hey. I–uh...” They scratch their head awkwardly, “You looked like you were going into Space Cadet Kaya mode, so I thought I’d come by and make sure you were okay.”

This is a terrible, terrible idea. She knows the moment she boards the yacht and sees a handful of familiar people, none of which are the roommates she accidentally ditched to ride the roller coaster with a stranger. Thankfully, a different familiar face comes into view. Mirana quickly approaches them, desperate to appear in conversation and less approachable. “ Rai ! Who knew you were one for yacht parties ? ” she remarks with a smirk. “ Here to observe all the city’s finest and their petty dramas ? Or is it the free food ? ”

Where: Coney Island 

“So who’s going to ride The Thunderbolt with me and not judge me for screaming when I feel like I’m going to plunge to my death? I’d offer to buy you something, but everything’s free. What if it said I could introduce you to Meg later on the yacht? Would you say yes then?” she asked, knowing well that the one time she did scream or rather have a really high pitched squeal it would be because she was on a rollercoaster. She was a fan of thrill but she also always had an involuntary reaction to the 90 degree drop that occurred.
