Thursday - Festival site - Corona Park- Sol City

Thursday

Victoria
Victoria was wandering the Market slowly and a supportive arm from Isossef as despite the dry weather the mut still did not make the best ground for the snowflake canes metal tip and the crowds around where building up. Preferably independent the difference was that even her pride has to recognise when help was required.

Passing a small stall of some scented candles and soaps fairly quickly unsure which ones was a little unsettling, not majorly definitely not her choice right now, that was just plain odd but what was normal? Did Victoria even have a normal?

Pausing in a clearing type area that had been built round the large fire that had been started but the massive edifice wood would take a while to build up a major flame. Only when it was impressive would any of the fire related events be happening. For now it was nice just to be out the crowds with more room.

Hearing a noise from her handbag, the Russian song chosen for the sole reason that she did not have the whole confusing whose phone was that moments. "Mali, yes im looking after self, no need to keep tabs oh older sister. What. Yeah im atill at the festival, near fire, why... Fine, near the stand with the large doughnut mascot."

Marlin stalked her way across the festival to find Victoria, seeing the image via a local twitter feed on artists and art. The photos she had ignored till she saw a caption... One in particular stood out... Ryan Visually did not match but unless he had a twin running about. Iron Chef contest... Definitely... That looked a tad cozy. It did not take long to work out her oh so calm and care bear sister needed intercepting and directing before she caused herself more problems... Marlin knew Victoria has been a little friendly to the chef and had a degree of issues with insecurity and relationships. If anything like her last reactions to things...

Marlin had her issues sure, but Victoria definitely had one around insecurity. This would have to be handled carefully, but firmly. Hooking Victoria's smaller arm into hers and leading her to a small side cafe carefully but no backing out. "Sorry Vika, but the last few times you made things way worse for yourself. Listen to me, please.

Two teas, both decaf and pair of ice cream please. Keep the change, tables please." Placing the sunglasses on the small table they found and looking into the matching pair of slate grey eyes firmly. Accepting the order and handing over a crisp note to a Teenager whom decided that a good idea to be elsewhere from the minor glare between the two probably related women."Thank you, treat yourself. fine, here. I saw this on a art feed, before you jump to burying someone at sea wrapped in anchor chain, its just a photo, no more, no other details." Handing over the phone and the pictures, was it a overreaction but with Victoria... In her present condition. Her reactions where very much not predictable.

Victoria glanced at the image that was Ryan, she was not sure what to define the relationship as... Had he lead her on, or used her emotions? Had she messed things up? He seemed interested before he left a note, but now Victoria was questioning her initial judgement a little more out of a lack of information to go on that outright suspicion. Victoria saw him smiling and laughing round a pretty normal woman, a woman who could dance without support, go out for a jog or not worry which route you took in Atlas Mountains or across the city because the sidewalks had fallen apart. "Il be calm Mali, you can unhook my arm. its not like i can out run you. you could pursue at a fast walk and not even worry on this ground.

I don't know ok! I just do not know what im feeling right now. Way too much going om, too much to do... I promise il not harm any cars or motorbikes. Ugh, I messed a few thing up yes. Little Miss red head, seriously, she has it in for us or something? Its like she our personal bad luck charm? " A little sour at the whole being fact being less physically able. Ok maybe exaggerating but id id seem more confidence at times how small this gigantic city was! Millions if people and somehow she popped up?

Deciding it was safe and turning back to her ice cream, her sweet tooth was rather sweet so a stop for ice cream was not exactly unwelcome. "ummm.. Not quite that place in mountains but not bad.

Maybe not after one of Milos work outs though. And mopeds, or other things that move Vika." Trying to lighten things a little, she had blunted the anger though forcing her issues head on and hurting Victoria never felt good. it was for her own good, who knew what might happen but least she had controlled the delivery and prevented her from taking it out on some poor car. "She seems a tad vexed with us, Make you feel better, question channel, Lets have a little fun. you still got the old account? One in that silly code you and your ex used?" That was a silly one but at time it appealed and still did using a modified personal Ceaser cipher that alternated using her name as a key as his was too long for it to be practical. "No harming things with engines...Yeah... Never deleted it. Good memories. Ooh... That's shameless distraction Mali... You did buy me ice cream though. Im in." It really was shameless nut it worked for now, Trolling was fairly harmless, Victoria out of heat of the moment would think first. "Know you too well. If he was playing your feelings, we can forget that promise though. Wonder how little miss red riding hoe feels about blondes... " A little bit of quiet drafting on a small note book out of Marlins hands bag.

ToriLon1997

Lovely photos, you really have a eye for composition and golden ratio, that white Greek-en dress and blonde look at racing event looked great on you when we saw you.

Keep up the awesome work :)
Tori

"50 bucks she bucks you and not even reply. Aunt Mali still takes some getting used to. Lighter stuff, we can talk over the rest later." Victoria pressing send and smiling, sure the bet would be lost most like but they could go out for lunch somewhere nice on edge of Corona park or perhaps head up to mount Atlas on a day both free. "You have easy part, baby sit and spoil. Where do you want Lunch Mali? Little. Miss red riding hoe... Bitchy thou are this day. How is Xia holding up? Maria let up on the ring jokes yet?" smiling but also a little serious and curious how things where going for the couple. Victoria was glad the Caribbean woman had brought back her sister somewhat. She was happy and Vika did not really have anything against which gender caused it. Still a little surprised by it all but her life.

Marinalia Romus Olympus "Mali" & Victoria Darya Romus "Vika"

Thursday - Mixed Loccations- Sol City

Thursday

Marinalia
Marinalia had a rather diffrent week than she planned or ever really expected but notone she would make a diffrent decision to help, or decide that her girlfriend was not worth the hastle even if it would be a difficult weeks to months for Xia to fully heal, maybe longer to recover her job fully back and skills but it was worth it.

Carlo had been paid. The house was stocked with everything everyone wanted, OK maybe she was overdoing but she was going to make life least good in some ways. Smiling to herself as she woke up with Xia asleep next to her and slid out carefully not to wake her feeling the need for a shower to wake up and lazily basking in the flowing hot water singing along to Dinsey rather well though would never admit to that one to strangers. The joy of waterproof speakers hidden away meant no need to risk frying her phone too that was a handy innovation.

vid 1

Heading out hair wrapped in a towel and dredging round for some clothes to wear, the festival could be hered even back here faintly though the thick insulated glazing a little. Unsure what to do she would need to ask Keyla and Xia and see what they wnanted. Obviously it was definitely a lie in as she could hear Victoria shouting on her way out through a door as she was never a early morning person... "I'd not Call Maria... I want to do it oh younger sister. We will, stay safe Vika, you have fun." Shaking her head at her Victoria as she found somthing abit more basic in designer Jeans, a comfy t shirt and sorting out her hair, magic... Well it was easier the explaining how you use air currents, computers and various engine modes to keep it airborne at different times. Her flight jacket was resting on the back of a chair of she wnated to go out, better try and ake Xia up, she could be grumpy when hungry though so better wake her before breakfast entirely became lunch.

Fig 1

Giving Carabian sleeping beauty a kiss on her cheek and sitting on the edge of the bed. "Wake up sleepy, you are cute when your sleeping but wake up babe. We need to do your Physio, breakfast and I need a kiss." Smiling, sure it was not the most romantic thing ever but right now, she was happy just to have someone to cuddle and hold her hand after the shocks of this week. It was only temporary, hopefully they could just remember the good bits in the future.

Doing her best to help somewhat unsure exactly how to do it perfectly and Learning along the way to do things, her horse riding at weekend was optional, one day she convince and her girlfriend to give it a go in reality.

---

Marinalia felt abit guilty leaving Xia with Keyla however the older woman had a core of Steel when she wanted to and basicly told her to go out and enjoy the festival going on outside and they would join her if Xia felt up to it. She was rather firm but kind telling her to stop worrying and she could handle things.

One last gentle hug Marinalia was walking down the curving marble stairs. Least the overpriced food was not a issue if could not be bothered to wait in the queues and just nip home. Victoria was already off exoloring where ever she was. Rather casual in t shirt, riding boots, jeans and her flight jacket hanging open she really escaped note bare the real gold wings glittering in sun light, patches and vintage aviators that where not always easy to find.

Even with the fires not lit yet the festival was lively and the stalls, where rather varried from the rubbish to the genuinely nice stuff and more beyond. BONE? no, just some similar police acronym wandering about. The other article Victoria sent her, did they interview Siobhan about them and get confused?

Several stalls later, quite a few items not right least she had some idea what to get but not perfect. Her mum was really tricky to buy for so you had to shop in advance. Now if only she stop teasing her about needing the jewrally vault after hearing her new living arnagements... She had rushed everything else, she would probbly not say no... But not rushing to ask either...

Lopping round and grabbing a coffee from the Solbucks stand watching some. Italian by the guess of the flag pin they wore cry at the concoction she was reeling off. "One White Choclate mocha, extra shot, vanilla syrup, cream and mini marshemmlows topped with some Choclate sprinkles to go please, packet of pom bears, yes I do have a card, and yes, I really do." Sipping thr over priced sugar concoction, ahh.. That's the ticket, she got thr odd question if the wings where real, most where too locked known worlds to really notice what they meant though. "What, salted, red ones. Thankyou."

Happy with her sweet treat and a snack, Marlin loved them when she was a kid and a grown up. Plus not nasties in them. Glancing about for anyone she knew and running a blank deciding to buy look for somthing cute as Auntie Mali, and hopefully a present for her mum.

Marinalia Romus Olympus "Mali" & Victoria Darya Romus "Vika"

Thursday - Mixed Locations- Sol City

Thursday

Victoria
Victoria was still annoyed, frustrated and several hundred dollars or garage bill to pay to have her car checked over unsure how Ethan had found her and checked for bugs. Course they not found anything and billed her a nice chunk for the time. How, how on earth had he happened to turn up that afternoon, she hated mysteries, especially ones of her own personal life. Throw in Ryan and the uncertainty there and the who dunnit on tracking her... Migraine worthy.

Xia and Keyla certainly had livened up the house a bit in their own way, of course forcing Marinalia to relax had taken a bit of effort. Her sister could not be called anything but an unwelcoming host though if the fridge and cupboards were well stocked with something for almost everyone in the house including Caribbean, Russian ice cream, European and those damned addictive American cream cake things. Curry, Pasta and for some unknown to anyone but her parmesan cheese on top, why? Who knows, no one could get at her for not eating properly though, even if it was for breakfast.

Victoria really was not a morning person in an old comfy t shirt, pajama short clad legs not touching the floor and hair tied back into a loose ponytail to keep out while cooking, sipping a Coffee, wishing it to be caffeinated by sheer intention. Marlin and Xia would be a while, Keyla she did not know yet if she always was always an early riser. A little envious how by sheer chance the two despite everything and all the trouble, well they worked and were cute together, they never seemed anyway to notice how much they held hands or just the little stuff. "Morning keyla, Kettles still hot, milk was off. Use the green in the top, well smelt off to me anyway..." Not quite yet up to advanced subjects Victoria yawned and turned back to breakfast. She still looked somewhat alarmed at how lightly built and shorter Victoria was and not entirely healthy weight but she had been like this since a teanager and always struggled to change the fact. She was less steady but could manage round house unaided. It has taken Xia a bit to not instinctively want to help her or think something was wrong.

Looking out the window towards the garden, it was cloudy but warm, even the Marble floors, Wooden boards and granite countertop were not quite so cool recently. No appointment today, least she had that luxury not to be in hospital on a nice day.

Browsing the paper on a tablet left in the kitchen, Cult of Sangus, wait. Vampires. Seriously... Blonde... Oh... Quickly. Forwarding that one to Marlin when she awoke from her infinite slumber. Lawsuits and protests, light lane was a rather nice area be sad to see it demolished adding her name to the online petition. Bone... Reaper. Tomb. Someone thought they were punny. Governments should not be allowed puns.

The Vampires... Really, from the level thete it seemed like they went to a certain red head for quotes about them. Least Southside only had failed Necromancy this week.

---

Time had strange effects, you never really noticed a change that happened slowly, little by little where someone who had not seen you would see it straight away. She had been so busy with everything, the whole argument and stress, time had decided to sneak up on her.

Finding a cute purple fitted spring/summer dress, the zip came up but Victoria definitely was showing in that one. A small bump but rather obvious if you were looking for it. "Really... No hiding it soon. " She had picked it up alongside her coat that had a model like that so that least was a vote of confidence in the choices.

Digging a little, a box neatly wrapped in tissue paper inside and monogrammed and folded to a standard she doubted could be replicated if she had all day to spend on the task. The coat was a little silly but it was also entirely handmade in London, custom panels and Fabrics waterproofing, hidden pockets, detachable hood and fastenings and the option to adjust as her changing body needed, she had probably spent way too much but getting anything in her size was... Interesting to say the least. Asia maybe but their styles did not always suit her. Adding the Silver raven pin, she always liked those misunderstood creatures.

That all made things very realistic... The clock was ticking and there was so much to do before she was too tired, aching and distracted to concentrate on the major stuff well as Victoria would like. Resting her head in her hands, she sat on bed, too much. 6 months and everything changed ready or not. Maria, Marla... Marla would know. Thank the fates her somewhat aunt in law liked her. First things first, call Marla. Then work from there, make a list and start at the top what was done, what needed doing and what was nice to have done. Least her legal side was sorted, medical was managing. Just the practical... Lots to buy and sort out.

Grabbing a pen, it did not take long to write a list out to cover, turns out baby brain was a thing. Lists where becoming a rather close friend..

To Do

Legal - embassy stuff done!
Hospital - check up booked - blood test next week.
Marla - Confirm buy list - amazon etc
To do - isofix? Europe needed?
Mike /Milo - Contrcator - Nursry.
Dad's present. - event?
Pick up boots delayed till sat
Hair dresser... Book. Carla - Tasha!
Contact consulate regard to code request.
Physio - Luna sports. Yoga breathing. Book 2 week time.

From the balcony she could hear the sounds of the festival preparing, they had been setting up for a while now, the trucks carrying materials, tents, stalls and more besides has been running without pause for 2 days. The amount the city spent on festivals was insane probably . They had been here a matter of months really, at least 3-4 major parties and festivals all funded by the city. The Mayor really loved to entertain the people. Sure he could be a bit silly from the news and not always the best but he definitely knew how to bring the city together.

The tradition sounded good though, Victoria definitely needed to cast some things into the fire and hope the new year decided to bring good things rather than bad. Isosef was about, Marlin probably would have her plate full looking after Xia, she had met some people in the city so she might bump into someone she knew. Ryan still had her somewhat confused by her feelings, urgh, chalk one more thing to what she did not understand.

Making a choice, grabbing her coat, hand bag and finding some earrings to match, Victoria was determined to least look presentable even if she was rather confused and currently despising mysteries. "Going to festival, Don't worry i'll take Isosef, With me. No need to report me to Maria Mali. Left a note. See you there if your going. Xia, remind Mali to rest and enjoy herself too!" Malin had taken great care of everyone but she really needed to just stop stressing the little stuff.

The festival was busy but not mega packed; she could navigate easily, a little less steady on the grass however hard packed and laid down grating with Isosef keeping her steady in the worst parts. Victoria was wandering, already having found a nice bracelet at a stall making Nordic style ones and a gift for her dad's birthday that could keep for a while.

With time difference and work, yeah, be evening before she could call Marla if she free today , might as well make most of it and enjoy the festivities.

City Hall faces Light Lane Resistance.

In the news of the potential demolition of Lightlane, the Run and several other areas in a major redevelopment of Sol City and businesses deals regarding a new sports team being established, the reaction of locals in the area has been less than welcoming.

A collective of business, private citizens and voluntary donations from various sources have started to put to together a case to challenge the decision and keep the bulldozers and wrecking balls away. "This city, this is one of the few areas where big businesses do not dominate, it's all families and local owned and run. The loss to the city's character would be immense.

My father worked hard to establish our restaurant, the Shawarma Palace food is genuine, and made with pride and care not just price per serving minimum cost. Sol City risks losing one of jewels, please help us protect Sol, and keep it open for everyone, big, small and independent. This is not just a building, or a sign with a name we can move. It's years of effort, hard times, good times and sacrifices to get this far.`` An emotional quote from Daniel Jackson, Owner of Shawarma Palace and retired Military consultant for the United States Air Force.

I got similar sentiments when I spoke to many businesses, somewhere afraid to talk openly, citing the involvement and rumored criminal connections of some of the project's backers.

We reached out to the people behind the proposal to redevelop the area however we got very little new information, that "All would be well compensated above market values" and "Everything is legal, and will be done as per the book down to the last permit. Rumors always exist. Our conduct will be of highest standard, as befitting our values and ethos."

So, where do you stand?

Sol City Vampire turned out to be false. Cult of Sangus disbands
Claims of Vampires in Sol City Unfounded. Expert study finds no cause for concern.



In less weighty events the Cult of Sangus have disbanded after the founder William Compton "Pointy" was caught attending a lunchtime Yoga class in Corona Park. While the Cult has a degree of suspension of disbelief, this event has caused a collapse in their membership.

I have been following this group for a few years now, their niche group has been at the center of some stranger events such as the protest over undead rights, blood banks equal rights and the garlic ban of 2017.

Right now Mr Compton was last seen fleeing the scene and boarding a flight to Sunnydale, Calafornia with I quote his rather jilted if a little deluded lover. "A Loony Toons skanky bitch with a British accent. (Redacted)... She turned up all blonde, short skirt draping all over him like some skanky blanket.". Her remaining comments were too colourful to print but she I suspect she might be a sailor in another life.

Finally to address the million blood drop question. No, there are no Vampires in Sol City. That was just a slightly strange goth who really needs some vitamin D. So stay safe, and enjoy the coming spring free knowing Sol is yet to attract the undead. Umbrella Corp please don't make me retract that claim.

Marinalia Romus Olympus "Mali" & Victoria Darya Romus "Vika"

Tuesday - Sol City Hospital - Hephaestus Manor -

Taco Tuesday - Keyla Chaos

Marinalia
Marinalia knew she needed to rest but did not want to let down her girlfriend, especially when she was in a bad way though she would sleep much easier and far more happily knowing Xia was next to her and not hooked up to a ton of machines even if some recreational activities would have to wait a while. Of course she was right... But that did not help her brain entirely from derailing off course, sailing in an entirely new direction and hitting worry City harder than a free Irish bar. "Il try. Just the last few days, intense... If mum calls... I promise i'll rest, my mum will tell me off like I'm a teenager who borrowed her car if she finds out.. Knowing her she would turn up in person to do it!

Just Don't blame me when I'm crying into your shoulder during lion King honey. Or out of tune Frozen... Its catchy... Im a grown up when I have to.. "` Laughing slightly, Scar killing Mustafa, in Full HD? It was just ninjas and onions to Marlin and Xia might have a wet shoulder, hopefully Keyla not mind Victoria being about though honestly maybe the older woman might be a good thing? She had been there done that and might help reduce some of her sister's worries. Leaving her phone with Xia, it gave her some way to communicate and her smart watch would vibrate if she texted her own number. It was a little far for 5 minutes but Marlin was taking exactly zero chances with her wellbeing.

Yep it was her home, namesake Grandmother's originally though it was slowly starting to really feel like her home now. It had taken a while to get the place more homely and bring life to the old place but worth it.

The woman could hug, one more thing shared between mother and daughter, like their abilities to get through to answers and get people to open up and the rather bubbly infectious optimism. "Thankyou, It's your home while you're here. It was my grandmother's, I'm sure she happy with our use, if a bit Surprised by my relationship.

3rd floor... Go to front after stairs, right to 3rd. Guest room and your ensuite is far left on the corridor overlooking the park. Me and Xia are suite in Left, Vika my sister is right, she a bit queasy in mornings, so don't worry if you hear odd sounds." Smiling, she liked Keyla and trusted her intentions. If she meant to help, she was a good egg. Marlin really did not hide how close they were and what their relationship was like from her, honestly was better than her finding anything out not told by herself. Marlin was not exactly sure how much she had been informed about them and Victoria's situation.

Waiting as Keyla started upstairs, directions would help, the tour could wait till everyone settled in. Unflinching at his look up and down in a casual top and a mid to longer length loose skirt for the heat and comfort, slate grey eyes not giving him an inch though obviously tired and over taxed. "At least you're not competing for the girls now snow bunny has hers.

Oh, Intend to stay as long as she have me, hopefully one day with a different surname. I promised. I keep those. A little... Not much, she tired alot, the pain meds help but knock her out. I know you probably salty I was made temporary next of kin.

It was not a stranger... Someone she knew, somehow. They knew too damn much, and too little gain for it. Work maybe? I get her phone back tomorrow. Repair shop. May learn something. The time we talked... No mention of ex's, arguments or such. Time together... Nothing. She kind and helps anyone, only some looks given how we where not hiding it.

I have to consult my dad. He knows a banker here who trustworthy from his more grey jobs. You took my last cash, and I do not exactly think you take paypal. Give me a day or two." Marlin decided to confront an elephant or so in the room and also give him an honest update on her condition, given how hard she got hurt, information was still coming back together probably. Any other time she did not trust him and money but this was blood and family, a dick and an asshole at times but he would be on the right side when it came to this, even though she felt she had to justify her position a bit. In his words the lock was locked and hopefully remaining so.

Ok She was a little confrontational but Carlo, Xia recommended taking a strong hand otherwise he never respects you. Making their way to the upper floor roughly explaining some of the layout just in case anyone needed to know where the basics like bathroom were. The surname comment was a bit far, but she had to confirm she was serious about Xia, he would never accept the English woman if she did not fight for it.

"OK, if I do not rest, your daughter and my mother will be on my case. Again, or both working together! list on the fridge, just let me know if you allergic or got any favourites. I gotta do a run to shops tomorrow. It's no extra on my part, I planned to get some Caribbean with Xia originally before all this.

I'm gonna rest love, plus I think your mum might join the club if I'm not careful. Anyway, Need to find out if the mermaid truly loves the Royal navy captain or the pirate... Though swords and corsets... Pain to fix every time. That stuff expensive and annoying to get to fit."` Giving Xia a rather careful kiss and cuddle and her mum some time and privacy plus or minus Carlo as a family, Marlin decided to curl up in a comfy arm chair in far corner with a trashy romance paperback novel that was 50% cliche and remainder pointless love triangles. She was used to being teased about it and borrowed Victoria's ipod left on the side. Xia already knew what she had hidden in wardrobe corners, and insisted they show some off.

Chair good. Book good... Depending on perspective. Victoria's music tastes... At times questionable.

If they called her over, she would join but after all this Marlin was sure Xia and her mum, maybe Carlo had some catching up to do least for a bit. She could make up on cuddles in the evening if they did not want her about.
