"and just like that--" there's a crack, a flash of light a little too bright and then a puff of smoke, turning the liquid in the cauldron into a stunning shade of brilliant pink that makes the sweet little girl in front of him light up like the sun itself had taken root in her chest. despite his stoic nature, the corners of dam's lips twitch up a little, and he carefully dips one of the little decorative glass bottles into the mixture before corking it and carefully handing it over to her. "do not drink this or all of the good luck will disappear."

and she would be poisoned, technically, but that's neither here nor there.

PLOT DROP 002: the rules of halloween

part 002: the carnival 

in order to quell the mass panic caused by the reappearance of the rules of halloween, armes sallow has decided to re-open the carnival from the summer, still waiting along the pier. 

despite ms. sallow’s best efforts, the eerie feeling of the carnival grows stronger. the lights, meant to stay on at all hours of the day, mysteriously go out. both gas and battery powered lamps refuse to stay lit. music plays long after the workers have gone home. 

‘community’ wasn’t something yale had ever really been fond of. sure, back home in nebraska, she’d had her small group of friends to count on, to look after and know they’d keep an eye on colette while she was gone. but that was hardly community - or at least, not a positive one by most standards. 

living in fairvale sometimes felt like some sort of surreal trip on acid. they had lost a fair number of their town in the past two months already, and now they were having a karaoke night like nothing was happening around them. like they’d be able to go back to their houses at the end of it, turn on netflix and relax. 

sometimes, yale wondered if she was the only sane one in town. 

but it was at the bar, which was where she spent most of her nights anyways, and she could silently mock from her end of the bar top - as far away from the commotion as possible - while still ‘reporting’ on the event for the paper. the next issue would have to come out in a couple weeks, lest people think it was a fluke, and the inane bullshit these people found themselves partaking in was a gold mine of satire, even if no one else read it as such. 

a smirk crossed her features as the next duet performed - a classic 80s bop everyone knew but could hardly stomach unless they were wasted - and she picked up her own drink, mostly talking to herself though there were people surrounding her anyways. “i’m beginning to think these aren’t watered down tonight,” she snickered, “because there’s no way anyone would do this mostly sober.” 

The Dark Mark. 

Ophelia looked up at the sky and her lips parted in wonder. Who...? Her eyes glazed over with barely contained fear, mixed with a little anger and excitement at her first thought. She hoped she was wrong, but she was hardly ever wrong when it came to Paris Avery. 

Her eyes began flickering over the crowd that had now gathered in the High Street of the village. Considering the situation, finding him should’ve proven to be a lot harder, but alas, here he was, following the chaos that’d errupted with a content expression on his face from a dark alleyway. The glint of the moonlight on his blond curls had betrayed him to her. He was more than lucky that no one else had spotted him yet. 

Pushing her way through the crowd, fainting students or people close to vomiting crossed her way. When she stood in front of him, she pushed a hand against the center of his chest and steered him back into the shadows. “Was it you? Tell me right now, and don’t lie to me.”

Just inside the entrance of the funfair

@anoracle

Ata lingered in the shadows the funfair, waiting for Emme to turn up, hoping that no-one else would appear and dash her plans of the afternoon. Or discover the thermos of coffee and bottle of blackcurrant wine that she had in her backpack. Admittedly, her trying to get outside the bounds was a worse crime in the eyes of this thrice-twisted carnival, especially so soon after their failure, but she needed this.

Needed to remember the feeling of freedom and the wind, that there was something that they were all working towards. Cooped up was a weak term for the way that she was feeling, any of the usual methods at which she could push boundaries were tight around her. 

At the sound of footsteps, Ata ducked lower, a grin toying around the corner of her mouth at the adrenaline that was kicking into gear. Thankfully, it was Emmeline, so she stood taller and grabbed Emme’s arm and pulled her around the side of the booth, barely stifling a laugh. “So, where do we have to go to get out of this dump?”
