open starter, lets find Babu!

Life had been sort of uneventful, aside from the new people Minry had met recently. So on that particular day where work was not something she had to concern herself with, Minry decided to savor her tranquility by visiting the park with Babu. The Chow Chow was growing fast so longer walks were a must to make sure the pup had his energy drained to sleep better.

The toy of choice was the classic tennis ball, but this one was red. Something simple but effective and colored oddly enough to stand out. Minry threw it once more, before she'd quickly check the latest notifications on her phone. "Hey hey, I know you're not tired yet." She said, noticing Babu was not her feet yet. Minry raised her head, but her eyes couldn't find Babu. A sense of unease crept over Minry, her heart beginning to race.

"Babu?" She called, confusion taking over but quickly it turned into legitimate worry. There weren't many other people around and not close enough so Babu would approach playfully. "Babie?" Minry called louder for an alternative version of the dog's name.

Minry's ears started to ring, with the affliction of the situation. Central Park was safe, but still surrounded by streets roads with cars. Walking towards the direction she threw the ball, even the dog's toy was nowhere to be found. Frantic, Minry walked towards the nearest person, but he hesitated for a moment, her hands trembling, before mustering the courage to speak.

With spring approaching fast, Cassandra could not wait for some warmth, having lived primarily in the lower parts of Greece for most of her life. It had only been the last few years that she really endured cold like this, and she had never been a fan. Finally having given her a break from all her practices and part-time work, Cassie had found a nice place to drop her lounge chair in the park. Despite the snow that was there, it would not linger long.

Sitting down in the chair, she demigoddess pulled out her grimoire, and she flicked open the book to two pages that she had chosen for going out in the cold air. Reading the first incantation, a impenetrable bubble seemed to appear around the demigoddess, though it would allow people to come in and out. Just not the cold. Next, that bubble began to heat to a nice 80F, melting the snow around her within twenty feet and radiating a warmth that remained trapped in her bubble.

Cassandra had a long day before her. She was not one that normally woke up this early. Charlotte had a new song that they needed to start recording, and she still had to practice her music part. Where they girls had done a good job in their performance, Apollo pushed them to a newer level, and while Cassandra met his outlandish expectations, it only came after a lot of work. 

So, standing behind another customer in the line at The Flower Mill, she had been pondering whether she should try a drink from the new spring menu when she noticed that the person just realized she didn’t have their card on them. As the other started to fret, Cassandra simply leaned around them, tapping her card to make payment. She waited for the confirmation to show up on the screen before she glanced back up at them.

Davina had spent the early morning passing out her handmade chocolates to her closest friends. By the time the evening approached, the demigoddess was rather bored. With staff covering the stall out of request and no desire to play her games, she decided the best place to go was again her beloved Vision to combine a bit of date watching and chatting.

Having just ordered herself their Valentine's day special, she felt someone join her side. Before even looking at them, Davina ordered another of the same drink. She waited for both to be made, and once the other came, the demigoddess finally turned her attention to them. Without skipping a beat, she offered the drink to them with a large grin and a playful tease.

As people seemed to enjoy the lead up to Lunar New Year, Davina's tea stall had been slammed. It was a nice type of busy, one that meant that she could have the means to upgrade parts of her stall and hire new staff. Plus, with the cold, Spilled Tea had not had much traction since people had steered clear of the park due to the cold. Now, she felt they had a vested place in the future as their name got out, and she attributed it mostly from her mother's indirect help.

As many of the park-goers were pulled away to the attention of a performance, the stall finally had a moment to breath. However, that would not last long as a passer seemed to struggle with some form of physical ailment. Davina, quickly coming out from the stall, ran to their side, helping to carry some of their weight.

The demigoddess had heard rumors of some festivities for the new year. So, she had decided to stop by on one of her nights off to explore what had been set up. Despite still in worsened conditions, her clothing did not match her funk. Esther hoped for a bit of joy in her explorations. She had only just recently cared to leave her apartment, and so with such bright lights and beautiful decorations, she did not feel it was a trip wasted.

Stopping before the wall of talismans, Esther looked between the woman and the beautiful sea of red. If she needed anything, it was good fortune, and though she was a bit pessimistic of being successful, she did have a few wishes she did care to come true. So, when she received hers, she could not quite settle down on singular request. Lost in thought, a helpful bystander reached out to her.

Yue had searched up and down the park for a very specific stall of candied hawthorn. The sweet and sour treat was one of her favorites, and it had been years since she had been able to find someone who did it well. Having been quickly strolling through the path, she finally spotted the stall as she was basically passing it. Yue redirected course. Yet with her attention fully on the vendor and having been walking at too fast a pace, the demigoddess's shoes slipped on the pavement.

Open Starter

The demigoddess had taken some time off from work. She had a small nest egg from her travels, and she had been treated rather well since she had joined the island. So, she wanted to spend this time to celebrate the lunar new year. It had been so long since Yue had settled down in one spot, and she wanted to take full advantage of the festivities. Yingyue could never turn down a good time.
