     shit  got  messy  real  fast  for  frederick, as  if  he  wasn’t  struggling  enough...  the  added  exposure  of  him  being  ( well,  what  he  is )  didn’t  help.  the  man  didn’t  know  what  was  happening  and  was  trying  to  figure  it  out  when  he  was  forced  into  a  shift  and  filmed  for  all  to  see.  now,  no  one  seemed  willing  to  help  him.  people  either  feared  him  or  didn’t  care  enough  to  help  him  figure  it  all  out.  it  was  too  much  and  had  him  often  wishing  he  would  have  just  stayed  in  the  caves.

O C T O B E R

      things  didn’t  get  any  easier  for  the  man  who  was  from  the  wrong  time.  he  was  not  adjusting  well.  everything  had  him  on  edge  and  the  only  thing  keeping  him  sane  was  the  thought  of  his  son  being  out  there.  he  didn’t  know  for  sure,  but  he  was  holding  out  for  hope.

N O V E M B E R

      come  november  he  was  approached  by  a  man  who  seemed  to  just  know  everything.  freddie  wasn’t  sure  how  the  man  seemed  to  know  so  much,  but  considering  this  man  was  finally  offering  freddie  what  he  needed,  he  didn’t  question  it  too  much.  at  least  not  right  away.  the  man  welcomed  him  in  and  even  introduced  him  to  people  who  could  help  him  adjust.

      nothing  special  really  happened  for  the  man  during  the  month  of  september.  and  when  everything  went  down,  eddie  just  did  his  best  to  keep  to  himself.  the  nephilim  knew  that  if  people  knew  about  his  powers  he’d  be  forced  to  fight.  the  man  wasn’t  ready  for  that.  he  knew  if  ( really  WHEN )  it  got  worse  and  a  fight  came,  he’d  fight.  but  the  man  was  trying  to  avoid  it  as  long  as  possible.

O C T O B E R

       the  man  focused  more  on  work  and  avoiding  anything  that  wasn’t  work  related.   it  wasn’t  healthy  and  helped  no  one,  but  still,  it’s  what  he  did. he  knew  it  wouldn’t  be  able  to  last  long,  this  whole  avoiding  everything...  he  was  tempted  to  put  in  a  leave  once  one  of his  classes  started  bringing  the  outside  issues  into  the  lecture.

N O V E M B E R

       by  november  he  could  no  longer  avoid  everything  that  was  happening.  which  he  understood  and  wasn’t  surprised  by...  but  still  so  disappointed.  his  history  or  the  supernatual  course  became  filled  with  worried  students.  people  wanting  to  understand  and  hoping  their  professor  had  all  the  answers.  but  really,  the  man  has  cut  himself  off  from  so  much  of  the  world,  for  so  long,  he  only  knows  what  the  mayor  shares.  that  and  his  own  assumptions  aren’t  enough  to  calm  them.  but  he’s  hoping  to  help  prepare  them.

        things  got  a  little  tense  for  deacon  this  month.  not  even  just  counting  everything  that  happened  in  town,  as  if  that  wasn’t  all  bad  enough.  not  all  of  it  was  bad  for  deacon  though...  no,  but  definitely  tense.  cause  he  learned  he  was  going  to  be  a  father.  the  result  of  what  was  meant  to  be  a  one  night  stand.  the  man  wanted  to  be  happy  and  excited,  especially  cause  he  was  and  always  will  be  a  family  man.  but  elodie  hadn’t  wanted  him  to  know.  deacon  was  pretty  sure  that  she  would  have  NEVER  said  anything  to  him  if  he  hadn’t  run  into  her.  and  he  understood  it,  he  really  did.  it  was  a  one  night  stand.  he  understood...  at  least  that’s  what  he  kept  telling  himself.  cause  his  mind  kept  screaming  at  him  that  it  had  nothing  to  do  with  that.  his  insecure  thoughts  just  kept  telling  him  how  she  saw  what  he  saw.  he  wasn’t  worthy.  he  was  a  monster.  she  wanted  nothing  to  do  with  him...  but  like  always,  deacon  didn’t  let  that  show.  he  gave  his  support  for  whatever  she  wanted.  was  there  when  she  needed  and  didn’t  push.   and  he  didn’t  have  this  information  for  long  before  everything  went  down  in  the  town.  he  hadn’t  even  had  the  chance  to  tell  his  brother,  cause  he  was  still  giving  elodie  the  time  she  needed  to  decide  if  she  wanted  him  in  the  picture.  but  than  everything  happened  and  when  he  learned  that  james  had  been  keeping  him  in  the  dark  about  everything,  deacon  no  longer  knew  what  to  do.  his  brother  had  been  the  first  person  he  wanted  to  share  the  news  with  but  now...  it  was  too  much.

O C T O B E R

        deacon  finally  got  things  settled  with  elodie.  he  was  gonna  be  involved  and  he  was  both  happy  and  nervous  about  it.  happy  cause  he  always  wanted  to  be  a  father,  even  if  it  wasn’t  happening  in  the  traditional  way.  happy  because  even  before  learning  about  the  baby  he  had  hoped  that  he  could  get  more  time  with  elodie.  but  he  was  nervous  cause  he  still  hadn’t  talked  to  his  brother...  nervous  cause  so  much  shit  was  happening  in  town.  AND  to  top  it  all  off,  he  found  out  that  someone  put  a  hit  out  on  him.  he  didn’t  want  to  put  elodie  or  the  baby  in  danger,  so  he  was  trying  to  figure  it  all  out.  he’d  only  told  two  people  about  the  hit  out  on  him.  elodie,  so  she  wouldn’t  be  in  the  dark  and  mavka,  so  she  could  help  him  take  care  of  it. he  wasn’t  speaking  to  his  brother  and  while  him  and  elodie  agreed  he’d  be involved,  things  were  still  tense.  so  this  month  just  felt  like  a  lot  to  the  man. 

N O V E M B E R

       finally  putting  his  hurt  aside,  deacon  finally  decided  to  hear  his  brother  out.  but  he  wasn’t  sure  that  helped  any  cause  now  deacon  didn’t  know  how  to  feel  about  jame’s  new  family.  he  knew  he  couldn’t  truly  blame  james...  though  part  of  him  still  did.  cause  why  wouldn’t  the  man  fight  harder  to  tell  him  ( or  even  mav )...  deacon  missed  his  family,  but  this  really  put  a  strain  on  it.  cause  despite  saying  he  understood  and  forgiving  his  brother–-  deacon  hall  no  longer  trusted  the  austere  family.  so  during  the  month  of  november,  he  kept  to  himself.  focused  on  work  and  elodie  only.  part  of  him  felt  guilty  cause  he  still  hadn’t  told  his  brother  that  he  was  going  to  be  an  uncle.

Gracey girl has been keeping to herself as of late. The chaos and stress made the air heavy, spaces with some people were hard to be around. She takes to finding quiet spaces to read, and has grown an affinity for working with kids. She has been eyeing up the local college and considering a degree in education, but is telling herself to wait for things in Salem to settle down first. 

She’s staying at Julian’s still, finding comfort in knowing that her father is at least coming home and sleeping most days. She’d be lying if she said that her father’s stress, whether he realizes it or not, is exuding out of the man. The wolf picks up on it and she finds herself trying to help out in subtle ways. 

The end of the year brought more and more changes. Street was now back in her life, and while there were parts of her that didn’t think she deserved that, she couldn’t be happier to rebuild that relationship. On the romance front, Gracey and B have been seen out and about together a handful of times, and the official date number three happening around the holiday season. The idea of entering a relationship with another wolf terrified her, but B definitely seemed...different in all the right ways from the last guy.

        dânêl  and  his  siblings  agreed  that  it  would  probably  be  best  if  some  of  them  kept  themselves  secret.  the  archangel  had  no  issue  with  himself  being  one  of  the  ones  that  stayed  ‘ hidden ’.  partially  cause  it  would  be  smart  to  keep  his  gift  a  secret  so  they  could  have  the  upper  hand  and  also  for  selfish  reasons.  he  didn’t  want  to  have  to  deal  with  people  trying  to  get  him  to  see  for  them.  it  happened  once,  long  ago,  and  he  wasn’t  interested  in  dealing  with  it  again. he’s  kept  to  himself  for  the  most  part,  just  acting  like  everyone  else.  and  working  at  applegate.  those  that  work  with  him  have  grown  to  not  question  how  he  seems  to  just  know  things.

O C T O B E R

         this  month  was  a  weird  one  for  him,  he’s  never  been  around  this  long.  so  toward  the  middle  of  the  month  he  started  coming  to  terms  with  the  fact  that  he  would  be  staying  which  made  him  actually  want  to  start  helping  more.  daniel  has  always  wanted  to  help,  he’s  seen  such  horrible  things  done  and  was  never  allowed  to  intervene  but  now  he  can.  even  if  just  a  little.  so  he’s  made  it  his  mission  to  start  looking  out  for  banshee’s.  he  doesn’t  exactly  tell  them  who  he  is,  or  at  least  what  he  is.  but  they  seem  to  always  know  right  away  that  he  means  well.

N O V E M B E R

       nothing  note  worthy  happened  in  november.  it’s  been  a  lot  of  the  same.  at  least  to  outsiders.  not  many  people  have  realised,  but  daniel  started  taking  in  more  than  just  banshee’s.  after  all  those  years  of  watching  so  many  suffer,  he  can  finally  do  something  to  help.  offer  them  a  safe  place  and  help  them  since  they  have  no  one  else.

*each character has an (x) next to their name, which leads to a song that best fits their timeskips

JULIAN AUSTERE (x)

salem´s mayor has been pretty swamped lately. all work and no play makes julian a snappy boy. he´s had very little time for himself lately and, as much as he might say otherwise, it´s taking a toll. he hasn´t been feeding enough, hasn´t been taking care of himself. on top of the threats that have been looming since july, he´s recently caught a scent that he never thought he would come across again. he doesn´t know if it´s real or a delusion, as his suspicions haven´t been confirmed or denied. 

he continues to do his best to support all of his loved ones however he can while simultaneously juggling the responsibilities of running and protecting the city. luckily, a lot of the pressure has been lifted from his shoulders thanks to the angels revealing themselves. this is how he was able to confirm his spot at the Global Organization for Supernatural and Human Alliance or GOSHA summit during the christmas holiday season. 

MICHAEL (x)

michael has basically been completely disinterested in the happenings of the town. he´s truly only here out of duty, and has been doing the absolute bare minimum. he promised his siblings he´ll come when they call, but will strike down any mortal who acts like he owes them anything. he´s bored, and has gradually begun considering what his options would be on the opposing side. 

he´s been living in a local´s basement basically since he first arrived, and has made himself quite comfortable. he picked up an immortal lover and has been spending most of his time with her, though it´s nothing serious on either end...yet.

CECILIA MILLER-YOUNG (x)

cece is all too familiar with danger. she´s been on edge ever since the true nature of things was revealed last summer, and it´s becoming increasingly difficult for her to hide it. she´s lost some of her softness and replaced it with the underlying cynicism from her youth. despite this, she´s opened up the space in her home´s driveway for a medical tent, where she provides healing in order to avoid the local clinics from getting clogged up. this is open from 8am to 4pm M-F.

she tries her best to manage the responsibilities of motherhood while remaining active in the protection of the town, which some could say fall into the same category- but it´s beginning to leave a weight on her shoulders that she isn´t too sure she can hold for much longer. and on top of it all...she can´t remember when her last cycle was. 

REMUS BAKSHI (x)

remus doesn´t have as big a stake in this war as most of the others in town. they already knew very little about the world outside avalon, so what they´ve learned since their arrival is more alarming than was expected. the fae was planning on leaving town at the first sign of real danger, but the rest of the world shortly followed on the path of no return. along with this, remus made an endearing human friend, to whom he had promised he would help discover the existence of ¨aliens¨. 

he´s been running around town with his newest friend oliver arevalos, searching under rocks and over bridges for proof of extraterrestrial existence other than his kind. however when they´re not doing this, nothing about remi´s behavior in town has changed. she spends most of her time in the city´s underground party scene, enjoying the pleasures of the surface world before they´re gone.

AMELIA STONE (x)

getting over so many tragedies happening back to back is a tough task, but amelia has been handling it decently. she went back to work about a month after her uncle´s death, having been reeling and unable to process the new trauma piling on top of the old. with the support of family and friends, mia has begun actively seeking help for her mental state. 

she´s kept mostly to herself and hasn´t had a chance to properly settle into town yet. as she figures out her role in salem she´s beginning to realize that her limited knowledge of her powers isn´t going to be enough for much longer. she´s currently seeking someone who can guide her through what it means to be a fae, and how she can use her abilities to their best potential. she´s not okay, but she´s doing her absolute best.

CHA EUN-OH [ANAEL] (x)

the recent events in town started as nothing more than annoying interruptions to bo´s vacation on earth, but their persistence is becoming a concern. he came to salem because it seemed like a calm place to hideout the rest of his existence. now he isn´t sure how good an idea it would be to stay. he´s been passing in town as something lower on the supernatural chain than what he is, but that´s getting hard to do with more and more angels appearing to stack the defenses. 

he has been spending his days doing what he normally does, living life as his own playground of pleasure and bliss. it´s almost like everything is normal for him. his plan is to leave at the first sign of things becoming more than he wishes to deal with, but as of right now he´s chosen to deal with watching the chaos from afar.

LORETTA RHEE (x)

the novice banshee has been having a horrible time in town. with the constant danger the triggers to her abilities seem to have no end, and she has no choice but to stay put. her witness protection agent has stopped responding to her messages and she isn´t sure why. sleep has been nonexistent as she´s woken up every night by a new screaming fit. sometimes she can´t even fall asleep because of the night terrors. 

she´s cut down on hours worked at the record store for her own mental health and has been holed up in her government-assigned home, which has been in shambles and disrepair since july. december has seen her making more outings as things seem to have begun calming down. she´s in talks about her future with the universities counselors and is now stuck with making a decision about how to move forward. 

FELICIANO MARTINEZ (x)

chano was faced with a decision mid-summer and the deadline is fast approaching. he came to salem as a disinterested party, but was roped into both sides when certain truths made themselves known to him. the past few months have been spent with his recently reconnected family or his close friend rhys kiliç. he´s supposed to be actively spying for azrael- in fact, this has been his task since he first arrived. however, 35 years spent as a human seems to have had a deeper affect on him than he first thought. 

wrestling with two identities for a large portion of his time skip, chano was forced to choose. he passively decided he wasn´t interested in azrael´s coup back in august, but that decision is beginning to gain some traction. his concerns about his loyalties seem to almost rush to silence when it comes to a certain someone. the conflicting voices in his mind hush, and they are all that matters. 

he won´t admit it. not yet. at least, not why. but he´ll fight for earth, he´ll die for earth. for them.

ANTHONY LORENZ (x)

hell was never his favorite place to be. his home on earth was destroyed by hell. heaven won´t let him in. what other choice did he have but to join in on a psychopathic angel´s mission? anthony has no real stake in the war other than his own entertainment, and dodging hell´s grasp. he´s spent his whole life being ripped apart and put back together to fit the needs of everyone around him, he´s used to it at this point. 

something about this town makes him want more. he isn´t sure what he´s looking for exactly, but he feels like he´ll know when he sees it. he´s been lying low since the warehouse massacre, closely following behind either of his friends orion or levi. where he normally would take more charge, he´s been letting them step in. those close to him know not to question his behavior unless they want their face slashed in, so he´s been living pretty smoothly out of the spotlight for now. 

LINCOLN KEATS (x)

the retired preacher was originally going to take over the local parish, but decided to step down after the hacking in september, when his own religious beliefs were thrown askew by what he saw. he´s still active in the church community but has become a hunter full-time. however, he´s mainly just doing odd jobs here and there, mostly for the elderly population in his neighborhood. as far as money goes, his chunk of inheritance from his father has yet to fail him. it covers the major part of his bills, where the meager tips from the neighborhood often lack.

         camilla  can’t  even  lie,  she  freaked  out  with  the  exposure  of  new  creatures  being  around.  mainly  so  the  angels.  it  wasn’t  that  she  didn’t  know  angels  where  around,  she’s  just  never  met  one  and  definitely  didn’t  take  it  as  a  good  sign  that  such  powerful  ones  have  decided  to  take  up  residence.  so  the  siren  did  the  only  thing  she  knew  would  calm  her.  she  took  to  the  water!  didn’t  even  give  notice  to  either  of  her  jobs  ( not  that  they  noticed  since  both  places  closed  down  for  the  rest  of  the  month ).

O C T O B E R

         now  that  she  was  back,  cami  was  more  calm...  or  at  least  on  the  outside  she  was.  keeping  busy  definitely  helped  with  that  and  it  seemed  the  universe  had  no  problem  helping  her  keep  busy  cause  she  came  across  an  incubus  who  was  in  desperate  need  of  a  helping  hand.  the  siren  not  only  offered  him  a  place  to  stay,  but  also  offered  to  help  him  since  he  had  no  one  else  and  she  knew  enough  to  manage  to  help. between  working  TWO  jobs  and  that,  the  siren  found  herself  too  busy  to  focus  too  much  on  what  was  happening  in  town.  which  was  something  she  was  grateful  for.

N O V E M B E R

        come november  cami  found  herself  quitting  her  job  at  tomation  towing  &  autobody  repair  due  to  overhearing  how  larry  need  let  someone  go  otherwise  he’d  start  to  go  bankrupt.  but  having  just  one  job  wasn’t  exactly  as  time  consuming  as  she  was  used  to,  plus  the  diner  never  worked  her  enough  so  she  started  working  at  gordo’s  sweet  factory.

         nothing  ever  surprised  the  crown  anymore.  in  fact,  not  only  did  things  not  surprise  him,  basil  always  seemed  to  know  EXACTLY  what  was  happening.  but  that  wasn’t  the  case  in  september.  he  hadn’t  seen  the  hack  coming, though  one  probably  wouldn’t  assume  since  ( like always )  he  didn’t  let  his  surprise  show.  the  days  following  the  hack,  and  therefore  the  exposure  to  certain  beings,  basil  would  be  seen  visiting  city  hall  a  lot  more  than  normal.  no  one  but  a  select  few  knew  why.   he  also  found  himself  putting  up  more  protections  on  his  nightclub.  firing  anyone  he  didn’t  personally  look  into  himself  and  hiring  more  loyal  demons.  while  other  business’  were  closing  early  or  not  accepting  everyone,  nox  stayed  thriving.  it  was  odd  since  people  did  seem  to  start  locking  themselves  in  their  home  before  nightfall,  but  somehow  people  still  felt  safe  to  visit  the  nightclub.  protections  basil  put  up  himself  as  well  as  those  by  some  of  his  loyal  witches  kept  the  place  safe.  the  crown  allowed  anyone  and  anything  to  come  to  his  place...  it  was  his  way  of  finding  out  information.  there  wasn’t  much  happening  that  basil  didn’t  know  about.

O C T O B E R

          during  the  month  of  october  basil  seemed  to  fall  off  the  face  of  the  earth.  and  that  because  he  did  exactly  THAT.  having  spent  more  time  than  he  would  like  in  hell  or  travelling  the  world  to  see  all  that  was  happening.  gathering  information  and  even  sometimes  joining  in  with  the  chaos  because  he  was  bored.  the  ONLY  person  who  knew  where  he  was  was  his  husband  and  that  was  because  basil  was  able  to  share  certain  bits  of  information  when  he  was  able  to  be  home. and  as  for  his  nightclub,  it  remained  open.  and  while  people  questioned  his  whereabouts,  his  loyal  demons  and  hand  picked  manager  kept  everything  in  order.  it  wasn’t  strange  for  him  to  disappear  for  weeks  on  end,  but  the  fact  that  he  was  gone  for  a  whole  month  was  what  had  people  questioning  him.  not  that  anyone  has  questioned  him  to  his  face.

N O V E M B E R

         his  visits  to  hell  became  less  frequent.  the  devil  herself  decided  it  was  best  to  just  keep  watching  to  see  how  things  played  out.  which  was  something  basil  easily  stood  by.  he  was  never  one  who  felt  the  need  to  involve  himself  unless  he  either:  had  to,  was  bored,  or  if  it  actually  benefitted  him/his  maker.  now  he  was  just  able  to  focus  on  his  husband  and  helping  him  if  the  man  needed.  basil  even  went  as  far  sending  out  people  to  protect  his  husband’s  family.   the  crown  kept  up  appearances  as  if  nothing  happened.  he  was  always  a  man  who  kept  his  opinions  to  himself,  so  it  truly  wasn’t  odd  for  anyone  to  see  him  acting  indifferent  to  it  all.
