she's glowing. dressed to the nine's, silk gown clinging to her elfin frame, hair and makeup perfected hours before the event had even begun. another premiere concluded; the flash of the cameras, the cheer of the fans, the praise from journalists. it was always exhilarating. yet all evangeline was waiting for was this. that perfectly maintained facade drops as the hotel door shuts, features and shoulders relaxing within an instant, a sigh of relief now that she's finally on her own. mostly. evangeline turns and there he is, all done up in his best suit, having taken the extra key she'd slid into his pocket and come to wait for her just as she'd asked. of course she'd invited her big brother to the premiere. what kind of sister would she be if she didn't? besides, the press simply salivated over the story any time they were together. that tale of the long lost half-brother she hadn't known existed, her sleaze of a father leading two separate lives for much of her upbringing. hollywood had always loved a scandal. "be a doll and get these shoes off for me?" voice cooing with a gentleness that even she's not sure she possesses, manicured fingertips gesturing to the space before the bed as she moves that way. it's a second, unspoken request that he get down, on his knees. "my feet are positively aching and i cannot bend." a second sigh as she settles carefully on the edge of the mattress. "i'd rather die than damage a vivienne westwood."

The last day of the Faire, the sky was overcast, with rumbles of thunder in the far distance. As Mayor Nat stepped up to the podium set up in front of town hall, a small crowd gathered to hear the announcement. She proceeded to declare Pandora Flowers as the winner of the costume contest, and withdrew the sword to present to the winner of the tournament, Morgan Vovk.

Before she could, though, Quinn Buckley from the commune ran up on stage and grabbed the microphone from the podium.

“Listen! You have to listen. This, all of this, is because of a being far greater than us! It sent the creatures from the woods to test us! To separate the weak from the strong. It judges us because it wants us to be ready before it reveals itself. We have to listen! We have to—“

Sheriff Henry attempted to take the microphone from her, but she struggled against him, still shouting into the microphone.

“It’s real! I felt its presence! Those that listen will be saved!”

Thunder rumbled, closer than before, much closer. A loud crack of lightning illuminated the sky, blindingly bright. Beyond the clouds, briefly visible in that split second, loomed a shape, unrecognizable and massive, both bulbous and gangly. As quickly as it appeared it was gone, and what remained was the sizzling body of Tristan Wilde, struck by the lightning. The sky opened up, then, as thunder boomed directly above, and rain and hail pelted the town.

“It’s there! You all saw it! It’s real! We have to submit!” Quinn wailed, as Henry attempted to pull her off the stage. “I can prove it! I can walk amongst them untouched! I’ve been chosen! You can be chosen too!”

Her cries fell away in the deafening downpour, and those that had gathered scattered to find shelter in the nearest buildings. Whether or not they saw something or, if they did, if they believe what they saw, remains to be seen.

The storm raged on through the night, as the creatures wandered the streets unperturbed by the rain and hail. The lights of the town flickered and then, as lightning staggered across the sky, everything went dark.

(Those that ran to find shelter found themselves stuck for the night. Below you’ll find the (randomly selected) groups. You can choose for your characters to have seen the shape in the sky, to have not seen it, or to have seen it and not believe it.

Everyone can continue/finish their event threads, as all this took place on the final day of the Faire (the 29th). You may also time-jump threads, headcanon threads, or make new threads for the plot drop. The event officially ends on August 5th, at which time please do not make any more event starters, however you can continue all threads until completion.)
