And just like that, the Apparition was defeated.

Penny finished the thing off just like Zoey knew she would. The second that she heard the thing come to a screeching end, she pulled out a cigarette and lit it. She was down to five cigarettes... in this carton. Zoey always kept at least three packs on her at all times. All because she didn't want to ever be without a cigarette on hand. Though she would have to restock reeeeeeeeeal soon. There had to be a place in this shithole... which was empty. There was a trail of smoke as Zoey walked over to the group with Odessa in tow.

“See? I told you I got it. Good assist though. As for the rest of you? Eh...”

Penny

"Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you."

Stacey

"Ain't doubt you for a second, Penny," Zoey said as she took a puff out of her cigarette and held it in between her fingertips. And Stacey was just as enthused about not dying - it was almost like he doubted them for a second. Hell, Zoey should have taken Kimberly up on her offer to be a ghost hunter. "Aw shucks, you're welcome!" Zoey said, cracking a genuine smile.

However, they didn't realize that the environment had changed. Or was it this way all along? Suddenly they were in a forest with the city right behind them. In front of them was a pond... one that Zoey immediately recognized. She raised an eyebrow as she opened her mouth as if she was going to say something before changing her mind. Something else came to mind.

"I'd recognize this place from anywhere..." Zoey said to herself, "This is Wild Creek from Farmer Hill... but why is it here?" She muttered.

And Odessa stood at the edge of the shore with her hands together. Staring off into it, completely quiet. Zoey raised an eyebrow at the girl... there was no way in hell that this weirdo knew this place. Before Odessa turned around towards the group and covered her bottle-cap nips with her arm. She walked up as she said,

"... Why are you celebrating?" Odessa asked, "It's an Apparition... long as something is keeping it alive it'll come back. And keep coming for you. You can kill it a thousand times, but whatever is keeping it from moving on will only grow... stronger." Odessa told Stacey.

"Alright, stop the spooky crap, Odessa," Zoey said, narrowing her eyes. "It's starting to piss me off..."

"I'm just stating facts, Ms. Gray," Odessa said and a certain detail went over Zoey's head as she retaliated.

The sigil of snow glowed on her hand as she balled it into a fist, "I don't give a shit; I'll freeze you dead, Dessa." Zoey said as she rubbed her hands together and huffed the cigarette. Dramatically letting out the smoke as she didn't break eye contact for a second.

"Mark my fucking words."

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

Okay I have a question for the Adept players and this probably going to be a tough one: I want to rework the Adepts like completely to make them stand out from the other types (and because I kinda think their description is a bit of a clusterfuck atm). Basically they'll have the potential to use all possible abilities within their category but will be limited to a list of "spells" that they have to learn first. It might require a little bit of rewriting some power descriptions, but if you guys are cool with things atm I'll leave it alone.

Music Appreciation Thread (THE REVIVAL)

How it works:​

• Reply to the user above you and rate their song from 0-10/10 (click the reply button to quote their post)

I'll start it:

_{Yes, I already know there's already a music thread. The difference here is that this one is interactive and more than just posting your song and watching it get ignored.}

I added the character list and I did the calculations and the age average is 22.8.

"I sold to some hicks in a trailer park about twenty minutes north of here. I may or may not have mixed their weed with oregano and actual dog shit since they gave me fake bills last time. They're pissed, and some goon broke into my home the other day. They sent some goon after me, and Oleander stopped him before he made it far past the door when he broke in. I want to teach these rednecks a lesson. We're aiming for hospital visits and chronic pain that doesn't go away. Not paperwork and police chases. They sent a motherfucker after me. The goal is to make sure that doesn't happen again."

Kayla

"Now this is starting to sound like some shitty horror movie - vampire, redneck, junkies," Madison said with a chuckle. Though this was no laughing matter. They were going after Kayla... even though, truthfully, this was her fault. It was hard to admonish Kayla for this because Madison made mistakes far, far, worse. However, Madison didn't want them to get involved in this. Mainly because this was probably as stupid as chasing after a potential serial killer. However, some of the others seemed to be more receptive to it.

"Ooooooh," Babylon said all excited, "How about we skip the intimidation and just wipe them out? After all; the only good enemy is a dead one."

Emily shook her head as she seemed to be a bit more partial to Kayla's idea. Only because she wants to take hostile Extra-Normal beings out of the picture. Especially junkies... a junkie will always get desperate when the money dries up and they need their fix. Besides, as Kayla said, they don't have enough information to even suggest the serial killings are supernatural. It's probably just a fancy serial killer...

... not their problem.

"I'm sorry to say it, but you have to remember how many serial killers crawl out of Florida," Emily said with her eyes closed and mildly sarcastic. "I think we should take out the vampires..."

However, at this moment Babylon floated over and whispered something into Emily's ear... that didn't even elicit a reaction out of the girl. Almost like this is nothing new.

"... Because they could turn their attention onto us," Emily said, "They are junkies, they don't make sense. They just want a fix."

Of course, Riley something insightful to add.

"We should at least probe into it, to see if it's supernatural or something. Then maybe we could learn more about what it is, their powers. Maybe absorb them? Headin' out and just looking for trouble is no good idea at all, but reconing and making an informed decision is a finer choice."

"Recon what?" Madison asked with a raised eyebrow. "Girl, if you're suggesting snooping around some crime scenes; then you're straight-up being dumb." It was rude for Madison to say it, but people like Riley need rudeness. Especially when they're talking dumb. Because nothing good was going to come from this and Madison was going to do everything she could to talk the Coven out of going down this path.

"Let me just say, for the record, I think both of these are bad ideas," Madison just said now... so when it blows up in their face again she has the satisfaction of saying, "I told you so". Still...

"... I'm going to tag along anyhow to make sure that this doesn't, y' know, go wrong."

"Me too," Claudette said with a sigh... even though she felt safer with the Coven around.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

I also made some changes to how Babylon's curses work; they can work on the Extra-Normal now but they can be resisted (and don't last long). So it'll make her a bit more useful (and justify why so many people are uneasy around her lol).

I also added another curse I came up with.

"I have actual business, today."

Kayla

"... Then you're in the wrong place," Madison muttered to herself as she rested her fist against her cheek, already done with this bullshit. More people decided to show up (late) and Madison was surprised that so many people decided to even show up! Usually, it was the "core members" as she called them because everyone usually gave an excuse. Maybe this will be a good day for the Coven.

Or maybe they'll fuck around some more and make her go the hell home.

Of course, Elise backed off - the girl shouldn't be opening her mouth if she can't take the repercussions. Emily thought that none of this would be happening if she was the leader. They always put out time and look at these losers; showing up whenever the hell they want to! Its a disgrace to the Coven and they need to respect the leadership slash founding members (Aka. Her). A part of Emily was interested in what Kayla had planned, though she wants the Coven to do what she wants. Though, Emily raised an eyebrow at Jessica's comment.

"... You do know that half the Coven consists of Apparitions? Or people who get their powers from them...?" Emily just had to remind Jessica. Again. Mainly because she just loves rubbing in how nonsensical that logic is in her face.

"If you want to kick Apparition ass," Babylon appeared yet again, except merely her head. Jutting out of the side of Emily's body and the girl didn't even flinch. As if this was normal for her. "Mine's always up for the taking... if you're brave enough. Hahahahahahahahaha..." She giggled as she disappeared again.

"Reed and Babylon," Claudette finally spoke up as she faced Emily. There were mini-flicks of darkness coming off her body almost as if she was ready to act should Babylon speak again. She didn't like Babylon - and who in their right mind would? That Reed girl was playing with fire - and she didn't like how she was causing trouble in the Coven. This was why her run as the leader ended so badly because she just always had to say something. Always had to get in the last word. And always had to start with the others. "I have to politely request that you and Babylon stop or else I will have to silence you - the same goes for everyone else."

"Fine." Both Emily and Babylon said at the same time, as Babylon faded away and Reed crossed her arms.

"I'll keep my mouth sealed," Babylon said as she did a "zipping" gesture over her mouth.

Thank God. Madison was probably going to shut the two of them up herself if they didn't. It wasn't going to last for long - it never did. One of these girls is going to say something and it'll devolve into a fight. Again. Though, Madison could only help but crack a smile at Nina's suggestion, "... I'm not cleaning this mayhem up, heh." She chuckled. "Rest of ya'll clean as much as you want." She shrugged as she chuckled. She wished that she had some pizza.

When Agatha began the meeting; the talking stopped. Maybe it was out of respect for the girl or that they were just mildly interested. At least it was enough to quiet Emily and Kayla, which were good things to Madison. Agatha explained the chilling murders that were going on throughout Florida... and it elicited a different reaction out of the three (and a half).

Emily grabbed one of the newspapers and gave it a good look as Babylon manifested behind her - looking at the newspaper inquisitively. These were chilling and Emily knew that it could be the work of the Extra-Normal. It was her sworn personal mission to exterminate all threats to herself and her sisters. However, Babylon was the first to speak... and probably for the first time; it wasn't flirting or fucking with the group.

"Ahhhh, this reminds of something..." Babylon said as she crossed one arm over her chest and leaned her head against her fist with the other hand. "There are Apparitions out there that liken themselves to Gods. And many Apparitions like to start cults around them... Just putting that out there, do with that information what you will."

Claudette was frozen in eye-wide fear as she stared at the article. Could it be them...? No. They wouldn't... I don't know. The thoughts ran through Claudette's head as the possibility that the Apparitions that could be after her are behind this. This is not the work of a person... but then again; Florida. Still, Claudette kept her mouth shut. Trying to play it cool lest somebody noticed.

"... This is something we should leave to the police," Madison was quick to add after Babylon spoke. Now, she was personally against these ideas of the group being vigilantes or super-villains - which popped up now and then... especially with some members that are no longer with them. "No offense, Agatha, but we're not the Scooby gang and we really shouldn't try to be. Or else we're gonna get jammed up in the kind of bullshit we can't get out of."

Madison sighed. It was one of the lessons she learned living out in the hood - if it doesn't involve you, keep it that way. It sucked, but that was how they get killed. And if they end up at the wrong place at the wrong time, then the police were going to implicate them for it. Especially in the eyes of the normal world... they could be interpreted as a cult.

Well, even in the supernatural world they were kinda culty. Unfortunately.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

Alright so in between chapters I wanted to do "interludes" where I have plot related shit happen and flashbacks/recollections. For the latter, unlike Vivid Recollections, there isn't some big mystery to solve so I wanted to put shit like showing important character moments and the orgins for beings such as the Jaws/Babylon/The Witch's Darkness. I'll cut to the chase: I want you scrubs to send me flashbacks n' shit so I can put it in the interludes so other people can shine.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

I updated my relations with the new characters.
