Virginia nodded, though she felt a bit perplexed. Had Millicent and Fyror shared some secret passions between them? All she had witnessed was a dance, and the possibility that Fyror might have true feelings for Millicent caused some discomfort. Not because of Fyror, no--but because Millicent was sacrificing herself needlessly. She found Fyror to be quite charming, to be truthful. His scar served to set him apart from the rest, from the piggish and sluggish members of London society.

And had Mosi given her a moment, perhaps she would have recommended a hallucinogenic to clear Fyror's mind. Her mother had been quite partial to them, and from what Virginia understood, one's worries were quite reduced. But another more thrilling event occurred--or perhaps, thrilling for those who cared for those sort of things. The announcement of the Grand Duchess of the Russian Empire. For a moment, Virginia thought fondly of the mamushka, but she doubted that the Grand Duchess had any affiliations to the cossack cousins of the Crypt family.

With her dearest friend all but wed to Lord Rutherford, and Mosi leaving to attend to Fyror, Virginia felt suddenly quite alone. These events were usually made bearable by their presence. She sighed ever so slightly, wanting nothing more than to leave the establishment, and begin to sort out Millicent's romantic entanglements through the most crafty of means. Yet there was another name announced--Mary Hale, the nun. Virginia's dark mood brightened briefly, recalling that she had meant to see Mary. James was quite fond of the woman, always asking questions about one subject or another--his latest favorite had been the methods used by the Spanish Inquisition.

Making her way over to Mary, Virginia gave her usual smile--which to those who did not know her could be seen as slightly unsettling. She had no intentions of sharing her plans with Mary, on a point of principle. Plots of murder, Virginia figured, would not sit well morally with the nun.

"Your Grace," Virginia greeted the Grand Duchess, before turning her attention to Mary. "Dame Hale? It suits you well, but no title shall truly do you justice." she remarked kindly.



Location: Port Annan


Had she not been going undercover, Maeve perhaps would have given the man a bit of a tongue lashing. To be truthful, she felt quite at ease in these parts. With the trouble and ruckus, it was a familiar environment, with perhaps only one exception--she was out of Brennan territory. She couldn't use her deceased husband's name to her advantage here. Here, she was Neasa O'Connor.

"That'll be right, name's Neasa O'Connor," Maeve confirmed. The man in the disguise of a parson seemed a tad like a duck out of water, and Maeve couldn't hide the slightest cheeky smile. "I'll go fetch m' things, be right back, 'case things get rowdy." Forcing the smile off of her face, Maeve left Calum behind for a moment, approaching the unceremonious dump of luggage and belongings. The sorts who traveled by that ship and those here to collect them tended not to be the most reputable--it was more or less a free-for-all, letting people go through and take whatever suited their fancy at the moment.

Of course, Maeve hadn't been a Brennan for nothing. Spotting her small bag, a few changes of clothes and the like stored inside of it, she saw a dirty hand reaching for it as well. Holding her shillelagh, she gave the person a menacing glare. "Don't yer go an' be dense," Maeve warned, before snatching her bag and walking off from the mob. She returned to Calum, bag in one hand, shillelagh in the other.

"Seem a bit shook, lad," Maeve commented once she returned. "'M all set. Let's get on wi' it, then."
@Witch Cat: Day 5!

@Pundii: I have a big exam Wednesday, so if you could post before Tuesday that'd be swell. :P It'd really cut down on my stress not to have an update to write Tuesday night.
I already low key ship Maeve and Calum

Be still my shipping heart! Post will be up today


October Crypt

Interacting With: @Nallore Carolina Reed
Location: The Alucard Institute for Peculiar Youth


October paused for a moment, mulling over the question. Truthfully she never had had much difficulty getting the dead to talk to her--shutting them up, as she had mentioned earlier, tended to be more of an issue. Yet for those new to this world, she could understand that perhaps it was all a little bit bizarre, a little bit bewildering. An almost wicked and yet somehow innocent grin appeared on her face, as she grabbed one of the candles in the room, lighting it with her finger.

"We can always try a seance now, if you'd like," October offered. "I've never done one on my own, admittedly...But I've seen it done several times and have participated." Of course, she didn't have the skill set needed for a proper seance. It would be a bit like someone learning to drive for the first time, after having watched people drive all their life--hard and difficult, but enticing at the same time. Of course, none of that was mentioned to Carolina.

"It can't be too difficult, and the night is hauntingly beautiful," October continued. "But mostly, communing with spirits is rather similar to what you see on television and the likes. Join hands, light a candle for dramatic effect, ask if anyone is with us..."

They did have fifteen minutes or so to kill, after all.
@Nallore Ah, let me edit then


October Crypt

Interacting With: @Nallore Carolina Reed
Location: The Alucard Institute for Peculiar Youth


October blinked her eyes and opened them again, attempting to spot Carolina. The more she concentrated, the more aware she became of her roommate, hearing her brush up against things and so forth. She couldn't see her however, no matter how much she focused her eyes, and attempted to see past reality. It wasn't her deviance, and she had no formal training in witchcraft. There was no shame in it, essentially.

"I imagine it's possible for you to appear eventually," October mused, glancing as her roommate appeared to return to her body, smiling widely at her. She was enchanted by madness and insanity, by the impossible becoming a reality. Among those like her, October instantly became more comfortable and more open, though she still had her secrets. She still had her darkness, hidden behind the brightness of her flame.

October snickered a bit. "Your sister, then, she's normal, I presume," she observed. "Spirits are much easier to view, in my experience. They go a bit batty after existing on this plane longer than would be advised..." Her voice trailed off slightly. Her parents' spirits had gone vengeful a few months or so ago, and were quickly taken care of by a hunter. It was a bit of a touchy subject.

"It's nearly the witching hour," October replied, glancing outside the window. "Quarter till, I'd imagine."
Getting a post up now. I can't find anything really as to whether or not people can hear those using astral projection, so I'm gonna assume that they can?

Is Carolina's power modeled off of this sort of astral projection, btw? powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Astral_Pro..
Loving the posts coming out. :) I'm working on developing another RP at the moment, title is TBD. Set around 1717 or so. My character would be Captain Harliannne James, pictured below. This RP would be part of the Abandoned Hope universe, likely will involve ghost stories, things like the Bermuda Triangle and the like. Mild connections to Abandoned Hope and Coventry at the moment, may increase/stay the same as I continue to develop it.



Jack Hudson

Location: The Rec Center (Building 7)


Had his mind been a bit more stable and focused, rather than spinning in a thousand directions at once, he might have noticed as Ash left arm in arm with Thana. He might have made some sort of comment to Tatiana, a knowing grin on his face. Instead, he was entirely focused on his wife and the news that she had shared with him. It boggled the mind, to say the very least. Nodding, he kept his arms around her, holding her in there.

"Guess you'll want to take it easy and all," Jack commented. "You know, I'm one hell of a dancah--I can fill in, do some chicken dances. Get people pumped and all." He grinned slightly at her.

He was cordial and polite with Meg, as always. Grinning and nodding and thanking her at all the right places. But his mind was still having little spasms at the news. As Tatiana leaned in and whispered her question, his eyes widened slightly. He hadn't even begun to think of that yet. Nodding, he whispered back a reply to her quickly, softly enough that no one else could hear. Pulling away, he was grinning as he put an arm around his wife again, blushing slightly as he recalled Meg was there.

"So, Meg, how you doin'? Enjoyin' yourself?"


Beatrice Decker

Location: The Rec Center (Building 7)


Beatrice honestly hadn't expected Tiffany to do anything else, as the woman excused herself and went over to help Ray. She tapped her fingers lightly on the table for a moment, looking forward to changing out of the dress when she got home, and having some space to herself. She understood the intentions behind a wedding--but she just wasn't a big fan of romance. A parody on a gameshow would have left her feeling largely the same way, if that event occurred instead in Newnan.

Watching the people over at the food table, she noticed the irritatingly sweet girl, Niesha, fixing up plates for the two of them. It baffled her how people so kind and naive had survived this far. They never made it long on the streets of Justice, but somehow, they had survived four years of walkers. Perhaps Newnan had made them soft--it was the only explanation that she could think of. A fair deal of people seemed to have sprung into action to help the crippled man, while simultaneously holding back chuckles.

She noticed Tiffany putting an arm around him, and she got up from her own seat, pulling out a chair for Ray, to make things easier once they got over there. It was a small gesture, but a gesture nonetheless.


Chloe Ridgeway

Location: The Rec Center (Building 7)


As Ryan patted his lap and began to snicker, pulling a chair out for her, Chloe made the face. It was the face associated with little kids who were told they had to eat their vegetables, high schoolers who had to take another standardized test, and those who found out they won the pageant by accident and thus would lose their crown. She very purposefully kept her eyes away from Ryan's lap, knowing too damn well what he was implying. It wasn't that he just wasn't her type--he was just so incredibly persistent.

"I'd need to be blackout drunk for that to happen," Chloe said, her tone not clear whether it was a joke or a warning. Sitting next to him, she sat her plate down on the table, and took another swig of her drink. More people seemed to be coming and going, and she wished she had some sort of idea when Riley was going to go on next, so that way she could watch, make her farewells, and go home. At that moment, locking herself away in her room and writing sounded like a good time.

Munching on her food, she closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the taste. James had really outdone himself. She tried her best to savor it, rather than shoveling it in at the speed of light like her unwitting male friend, who seemed to pretend to be her boyfriend, did. "After Riley sings a few more, I think I'll bounce." She was dying to find out the information Ryan had hinted at earlier--something overheard, relating to their roommate, Dick.

But for now, they'd have to find a way to pass the time--beyond snarky remarks of no substance. A few basic questions to poke Ryan with came to mind, but most of them would open up a discussion best held away from the rest of Newnan. People tended to get jumpy the more they were reminded that the old government had put lengthy prison sentences on their heads. Chloe was supposed to be serving twelve years in maximum security herself.

"So, Ryan," she paused, waiting to get his attention. "What's the weirdest thing that happened while you were in the joint?" She figured the man'd have a hilarious story to tell. He usually did.


Ravi Chakrabarti

Location: Two miles west of Newnan, in the snow.


Ravi snorted slightly at the explanation, but there wasn't much point in protesting it. Nothing either man said to the other would cause them to abandon their patriotism. It was part of the reason Ravi still carried his green card on him--that, and an ironic fear of being deported the minute a stable government was restored. He was pretty certain that the bureaucracy would do something to fuck with him, if ever reestablished.

Plus, he looked damn fine in that photograph. His beard had been on point. Thinking back to it, he straightened out his beard once more, continuing to sign along with Gavin.

"Never do with. Never never never never never do with you~!" Ravi sang, doing the disco hands as he went. When they reached the close of the sign, he took a slight bow, chuckling a bit as he did so. "So, O Wise Navigator, how much longer will this forced march be? I'm not sure we have enough duets left to past the time, given that that was the last duet..." From the shit-eating grin on his face, the Brit was incredibly please with that bit of wordplay.

"Are we heading to Father Christmas' place up North?" Ravi teased. "Or will we stop before we reach it?"
