Places I scripted into
Jericho, Vermont
(Because being a Nevermore kid isn’t so bad)
꒰⛲📍꒱ Evening Harvest
There are two farmer’s markets in Jericho. First, Jericho Market. It opens everyday: Sunday to Saturday, 7AM to 1PM. Fresh food, made ‘holy’ by Normies, yada yada yada. Then the second yet the superior one, Evening Harvest, takes their shift once their business rival closes. Sunday to Monday, 2 PM until midnight.
Evening Harvest is loved by the local outcasts and the Nevermore teens. Normies spread this rumor that their goods are ‘second-hand and unfresh’ which is untrue—not only that the harvests sold here are fresh, it’s cheaper, and VERY inclusive for the outcasts’ needs. They sell legal human blood for the vampires, red meat for the werewolves and white meat for the sirens, tasty well-seasoned honey for the Swarmers, and so much more. The kitchen staff from the academy also got their goods from here.
Locals said Evening Harvest still operates solely because ‘the monsters aren’t extinct yet’. Which is true. Don’t even bother shopping here on Saturday and Sunday. The Nevermore kids will hoard everything from the snacks section, and the Nevermore staffs will eye all of the fresh harvests…
꒰⛲📍꒱ Betty’s Apothecary
Online normies would say that Betty's Apothecary is a tourist trap (you know… with Jericho’s branding of yada yada us pilgrims came here, we colonized Jericho, we killed outcasts for you yupp), and that you’ll get nothing but ‘fake herbs’ there. They’re WRONG. Again. Betty’s Apothecary is run by an honest outcast witch who worships Dionysus.
The shop itself is cozy–like any other apothecary, really. But it has this… ‘welcoming’ feeling to its shop. All herbs we need for classes or worship can be found here. They also sold multiple tools and utilities you could possibly need, like wands specifically crafted for DaVincis who are practicing their telekinesis.
Betty, the owner of the shop, is a nevermore alumni. Even though we talked behind her back… about how odd she is for staying in her high school’s little town rather than living anywhere else, we still truly adore her. She’s like our older sister beyond the academic walls. She tells us about the newest global outcast gossip, tips and tricks about our school, and so much more. And when she likes us enough? She’ll sell her weeds to us. (Don’t tell Larissa Weems).
꒰⛲📍꒱ Books & Spirits
Matching its name, Books & Spirits really is a bookshop that would heal a reader’s spirit. Cozy yet spacious. Endless books. Comfy couches. I never thought that I would need to visit a bookshop once a week—at least from a reality shifter’s perspective. You see, this reality is different from our CR. There are different dynamics in the world, therefore the writers and the books are also different. There’s SO much stuff to read, especially the fiction section. I just love gothic literature, even more in a reality where outcasts live alongside the normies.
Besides its weekly restocked books, Books & Spirits is where the Nevermore kids got their papers and pens. This bookshop sells cute ones. They also sell rare, niche stickers that were made by local artists, which I really love for my journals! I gotta be quick with it, or even pre-order some stuff from there, because Normies would get their hands on their new products first </3 but it’s okay… I can sweet-talk the shop-keepers… hehe
꒰⛲📍꒱ Tipsy Pilgrim
OKAY so I think we can all agree that they ate with the store’s name??? Tipsy Pilgrim is a liquor store. The rumors are that they kept rebuilding a new liquor store in the same place since the 1800s. Wow. They also have this small little bar area in the back! Amazing for pictures.
Tipsy Pilgrim is like any other liquor store really, but here’s the catch — they would sell their drinks half the price to Nevermore kids without checking our IDs. Why? Because Outcasts drink a lot. It’s hard for us to get really drunk, and alcohol doesn't damage our bodies that much. Are we underage? Yes. Do we care about the law? Absolutely not. Hey, in our defense, we only drink to relax, okay? There’s no such thing as ‘black out drunk’ in our world. Plus we only drink in our dorms or during a Prospero Hall party.
OH ALSO they don’t just sell regular boring normies alcohol!! They also sells blood wines for vampires, which is reallyyyy nice :3 I always have them in stock in my dorm. If you want a glass just knock on my door. Again, don’t tell Weems.
꒰⛲📍꒱ Velvet’s Comb
Oh my god. One of my favorite places. Velvet’s Comb is not just a regular hair salon, it’s an EVERYTHING salon. You can get hair, eyelash, nails done in this one place. There’s barely any queue because of its large space and multiple staff who knows what they’re doing.
The place itself is nicely decorated. Its interior and exterior is very gothic if you ask me. It’s like the whole salon is marketed for outcasts, you know? Can’t blame them. We’d spend much more money on us than normies would ever be.
Their staff are underrated beauty artists. They know how to make the girls and the gays pretty. I always left Velvet Comb feeling like the finest vampire on earth. The amount of compliments I receive coming back to the academy is insane. If you want a friend for an appointment just call me!! I’ll be there.
꒰⛲📍꒱ Outcast Lane
Outcast Lane is our biggest source of entertainment yet. A bowling alley, an arcade, and a movie cinema all in one place. It’s a big building with flashy neon interiors. I don’t know what else to say LMAO. Wait, maybe I do. OKAY so the lore of this place is that it was made by an outcast hater. That’s why it’s called Outcast Lane. The decors used to be extremely problematic before a business vampire woman brought it in the 70s and made it the way it is.
Just know that we’ll be extremely exhausted after spending time in this place. Or overstimulated if you spend too much time there.
AHHHH it's finally here! A lot of you guys turns out want to hear me yap more about my Wednesday / Vampire DR HEHEHE soooo here it is!! Yes it's inspired by Hogwarts shifters and their Hogsmeade contents :3
