Synopsis: Just before the AU / Havensdale was sent into its deep sleep, Jenny was about to do something very bad for terribly good reasons. Her plan was simple: bring Juliette’s mom back form the dead. That would fix everything, no? But it didn’t work like that and now Jenny Moore has no magic, no answers and no more red-hair.

Juliette Palmer was not okay.

Sure, she might have seemed better to anyone looking in; happier even but Jenny knew better. Jenny had been there, every step of the way and while it could never compare, she had lost Juliette's mom too. They had been family, all of them and that was a loss that you would never completely seize to feel. Saying outloud that she promised to be there for her best friend- her sister- every step of the way wasn't necessary, they both knew that as an undeniable truth.

There wasn't anything that Jenny Moore wouldn't do for Juliette Palmer. She would die for her. In less extreme circumstances, she would kick Greg Porter's ass for her or bid on a cute blonde called Christian Cooper for her. The bottom line was that where Jenny could help, where she could ease Juliette's pain or make her smile, she would.

But this was different.

drunk!carrie: i think in another life we were meant to be.....

“You must not lose faith in humanity.”

Here’s the thing: once you’ve been turned, you can’t go back. That’s the real kicker, the small print you didn’t read: humanity only comes once in a lifetime. But what if...it didn’t.

You see, there was a reason behind three of the most powerful and notorious originals sending everyone in Havensdale Valley into a deep sleep and it wasn't just for fun. There is a spell- a once in a lifetime kind of spell- that requires the blood of each first species willingly and unwillingly given. So while legends such as Willow Evermore and Lily Whitby, who would never side with the destruction of humanity, slept, their blood was being drawn.

Engel, knowing the necessary risk he was taking, tapped into the surface of the magic he had laid into the very foundations of Havensdale back when the world was newer but not kinder. There would only be one opportunity for this: the final spell. The spell that would open a door long since locked and allow for the brave new world to be born.

But not quite yet.

While the residents of Havensdale began to stir, the last drops of blood were added and magic more powerful than any performed before in all of history washed over the town. See, once you're turned from human to monster, there is no going back.

Except today. Today you can go back. Today everyone gets to go back.

Today, everyone is human.

OOC INFORMATION:

The AU event is officially over! You can absolutely continue any of your current threads and closed conversations for as long as you like. We just ask that you don't post any new open AU starters. Now, your characters are waking up wherever it was they fell asleep probably feeling like they just slept for a uh, week or so. But don't worry, in reality they only lost a couple of days! Who's going to really question that, though? We're all groggy, it's fine.

Here's the fun(ner) part though: the humanity spell is here. In RP time this spell lasts 24 hours but your characters won't know that. Essentially, everyone who was in town when the spell hit is human. Vampires, werewolves, bloodline hunters... Everyone is human. Your can have your character react however you like! Maybe they don't even notice. Maybe it's everything.

When it comes to remembering the AU, your characters are going to think it was a dream. A really weird, really specific...dream. Of course your more supernaturally inclined characters can have their suspicions! Just like the originals can recognise the humanity spell and how dangerous it is. #whatisengeldoing

School is almost out, prom is around the corner, everyone is also preparing for the Founder’s Festival which kicks off Founder’s Month and summer... Don't forget the Miss Havensdale pageant. On the side of the war though... Aren't things starting to feel a little too weird? Like something big is finally about to happen?

We hope you've had as much fun as we have and are excited to get going back in Havensdale! You can also post any plot point summaries post-au if you have anything you want to push forward. For example: you can let us know where your characters fell asleep, who they were with, what they were doing etc. Like Jenny was...trying to bring someone back from the dead. Stella was...passed out at a bar. Tell us everything.

If you guys have any questions please let us know!!

Charlene has not been coping super well with her magic ever since Roxy Kane pushed her to push herself dangerously close to that dark magic line. Now even the simplest of spells bring back that all too tempting memory of going further. Now, every day she can still feel the lingering power surge from that night, the anger, the loss of control... Charlene 'control freak' Fairchild does not deal with any kind of control loss.

Well, except from when it comes to ex-boyfriend and ex-human Cole Atwood. Ever since they were magically linked (thanks again Roxy!) things have been pretty intense. If they're not arguing, then they're accidentally making out and very intentionally sneaking out on each other. Which then leads to more arguing. But they're not dating, definitely not.

Not to mention the fact her mom came back...as a ghost. And made her promise not to tell her dad about it.

Ian Morrison was just politely minding his business, working on getting his big brother’s memories back, trying not to think abut that sad, drunk hook-up with his ex gf or the fact his warlock gf killed her parents- and he didn’t mind. The fact he tried to use dark magic is still something he feels but he’s fine, honestly. Just a shot of tequila and he’s on his way!

He was actually on his way to hang with Dexter Harison- he’d even gotten in the front door- when the spell hit. Unfortunate because Ian was pretty sure Dex had a girl up there. Anyways, he was out like a light.

Then, on request from Margot Morrison, Gia McArthur (full shifter and drama queen) came onto the scene. She tied Ian up and tossed him into the nearest closet, locking it. Shifting into him, she snooped around a mostly dead Havensdale collecting dirt for Margot on her estranged family. Bored however she left just in time to miss the humanity spell, returning to bring Margot into town and masquerade around a little longer. After all her own estranged family are here and they don’t exactly want to talk to he real face. As for Ian? Well... Someone will let him out eventually.

It’s just... I haven’t been feeling right and if you could just take a look and tell me if...
