Summer Gala 2022 with @mphan

starter for @mphan

It surprised him how the streets of Downtown area were rather busier than Cedric could possibly expect. In his assumption, Mount Phoenix wouldn’t be a rather populated place, considering the nature of the inhabitant, realistically the island wouldn’t equate to London, for example. And even though it indeed didn’t, the amount of people that walked around the place on a Monday morning. 

To a person of his size, it was rather easy to have the occasional bumps and clashes with others, especially if Cedric would be in a rush for any reason. His attire was rather simple and he kept his belongings on his satchel, however, that one day, his wallet was put on his back pocket. A mistake that resulted from his eagerness to leave the pastry shop. And as he did so, another feeling of a body lightly colliding with him, a young man and Cedric managed to cross gazes with him, in order to apologize briefly and move on.

When a stranger skidded to a stop in front of her, the pounding of feet echoing down the street toward them, and asked her to help hide him, instinct took over. Normally Charlotte wouldn’t just hug someone she did not know like that, but it was all she could think to do. So, she wrapped her arms around him, placing one hand on the back of his head to guide his face into the crook of her neck. It would have to do, because there was nothing else she could think to do to help him out.

“Try to relax,” she murmured into his ear, since she could feel his chest heaving from the marathon he must have just run. After all, if he was breathing too heavily the people chasing him might notice and catch on. The last thing she wanted was for him to get found out... and for her to get dragged into whatever mess he was involved in.

She tensed a bit when the source of the echoing footsteps rounded the corner. And then it hit her. A murmured spell fell from her lips automatically- a charm that would alter the perception of his pursuers so that they would see someone completely unlike the guy they had been chasing in her arms. Different hair, different clothes, maybe even slightly different height. And just like that, they all ran by without giving Charlotte and her companion a second glance.

Felix was trying really hard to have fun. After the last few months of misery and confusion and hurt, he just wanted to forget about everything and enjoy the gala as he normally would have, dancing and talking and socializing to his heart’s content. For the most part, it was working, although with the help of more champagne than usual. Which was fine, because his mom was around to make sure he did not get too carried away.

As the evening began to wind down, he found himself hanging out with Han. The other male seemed to have also been enjoying the open bar, so they were giggling like a couple of off-balance kids as they danced in circles and excitedly chatted about how their evening had been so far.

He had just plopped himself down in the chair beside his mother for a moment to take a drink of water and catch his breath when another good song came on, and he immediately hopped up to sweep his friend back onto the dance floor. He paused only when Skuld suggested that they should maybe get going- that Han could stay over for the night if he wanted. She had been acting kind of weird for a little while, he thought, kind of looking at him a little funny. But he did not dwell on that.

It was a perfect night. Not too cold, but a light snow was falling and there was a silvery tint to the clouds that made it easy to see. Absolutely perfect for a walk in the park. Maybe even a... romantic walk in the park. It was the best set-up he could think of for what he was planning. It was not like romance really came naturally to him, but he thought that if the setting of it all was good, then maybe that would make things easier.

He was standing by the fountain in the middle of Central Park, two to-go cups of steaming hot chocolate in his hands, bundled up in his best winter gear to ward off the chill as he waited for Han. He felt restless and jittery, unable to stay still. He felt like he was going to jump out of his skin at any moment.

“F-flesh...” The situation was already quite chaotic as Yeji had fallen asleep during the afternoon and now rushing through the island to get on time to the job she became more and more inclidned to quit. But she was determined to do her best until such decision would arrive. However, with her natural clumsiness, it was a matter of time until she’d hurt herself or someone else, and when turning suddenly on the street, her reflexes kicked in and thankfully Yeji fell alone, scrapping her knee and even tearing her jeans up. “Bacteria... that eat, FLESH??? THOSE EXIST?”
