⇢ 🔮 STATUS ﹕ open. ⇢ 🔮 LOCATION ﹕ hallowed grounds.
with a faint jingle of the bell announcing her arrival, marisela pushed open the door to hallowed grounds. she was tired – dead tired, really – but she was certain it was nothing a strong cup of coffee couldn’t fix. marisela had worked all night, the end of her shift coming with the daylight, and she practically dragged herself to portum’s favorite coffee shop. she just wanted a little cafecito before trudging home to rest. the smells wafting through the air were promising, to say the least. marisela glanced over the menu, trying to muster the energy to make a decision, but her eyes were blurring making it a near impossible task. slightly defeated, marisela sighed and stepped up to the counter to make her order, one hand rubbing at her temple. “something strong, please. the strongest you’ve got,” she said to the barista, giving them a tired but grateful smile. marisela paid for her order and stepped aside to wait for her name to be called. she caught someone’s gaze, and felt slightly obligated to engage in some small talk. “long night too, or just an early start?” maybe small talk would keep her awake long enough until the caffeine kicked in.

“don’t go judging a witch for her simple pleasures, fergal,” she drawled, not quite teasing but with an air of lightheartedness that wasn’t always common with her. marisela nodded at the greeting, her gaze. – like his. – drawn to the water and the first hints of sunrise on the horizon. she snorted at his ‘fresh air fact’ and glanced at him, the corner of her mouth tilted upwards into a smirk. “is that so? guess i better start walking every morning if that’s the secret.” when he asked about the hospital, her lips tightened briefly. “the hospital is…the usual chaos,” marisela shrugged, doing her best to seem nonchalant about the question. “long shifts, not enough hands, weird energy in the ER as of late. but i’m still standing, so that’s something at least.” she exhaled and shook her head, almost more to her own thoughts than anything she’d outright said. “i’m sure you’ve noticed it yourself at the firehouse, but… the people of portum are uneasy and looking for someone to give them answers since the elders have decided to keep their traps shut.” her disdain for the decision of the town’s leaders to remain silent on what the hell was happening when everyone could clearly see something was different…wrong.
“didn’t peg you for a sunrise walking along type of gal.” he adds, with a teasing yet pleasant smile on his lips. though he should have noted that most of the people around here couldn’t sleep half the time. “It is good to see you again, marisela.” fergal says softly, as he stares mindlessly down at his reflection in the water. fergal has stumbled upon many fish in the sea on his morning walks where he gets up too god awfully early. e feels like most of the time he rises with the sun rather than the moon and that was probably explainable if anyone knew the battalion chief at station thirteen. he had known marisela vaguely; their jobs have crossed paths before, but aside that, that was it. “they say fresh air helps with stress reduction, and stress reduction causes aging, so anything to do the aging will help a bit these days,” fergal says flatly almost as if he has read those facts out of a book– which he probably did. oh– and speaking of aging, his hair did look oddly greyer as the sun peaked over the horizon. when fergal arrived here fourty five years ago the greys were almost nonexistent. “how is work at portum general?” he asks, calmly, watching the waves, before he turns his attention back to marisela. she was the topic of conversation for now and he hopes to keep it that way.

⇢ 🔮 STATUS ﹕ open starter (7/6) ⇢ 🔮 TAGGING ﹕ marisela + utp !! ⇢ 🔮 LOCATION ﹕ hallowed grounds
"a thorough investigation, my ass," marisela hissed as she angrily folder up her copy of the newspaper. "i'm telling you, i know what i saw, all right?" the witch knew she'd done the right thing by reporting the ritual site that she'd found when gathering herbs, but now she was being gaslit by the council themselves? if she'd been suspicous of them before, she now trusted them even less. "no animals fighting caused what i saw."

⇢ 🔮 STATUS ﹕ closed ⇢ 🔮 TAGGING ﹕ calahan macarthy (@silkeared) ⇢ 🔮 LOCATION ﹕ the old haunt
marisela sat at the bar of the old haunt, waiting to catch calahan's eye while a group of rowdy would-be frat boys caused a scene at one of the tables. her eyes rolled as they made yet another ridiculous toast and sighed to herself. their voices were booming above the usual low hum of conversation, and, frankly, were giving her a headache. the raven-haired witch swirled the amber liquid in her glass, and rolled her eyes. she muttered under her breath, “how many toasts can one group make before they run out of things to say?” the old haunt was a sanctuary of sorts for her – typically, there was an unspoken agreement among patrons to keep things mellow, or as mellow as the bar could get. tonight, however, was testing her patience. she glanced down to the other end of the bar where calahan was pouring a round of drinks and raised her glass in his direction to catch his eye. when he finally glanced her way, she gestured him to come closer. as he approached, one of the frat boys knocked over a chair in his enthusiasm and mari could have sworn she saw a slight twitch of calahan's lips. she tilted her head towards the rowdy table in the corner. “how are you not losing your mind right now?” she asked, her voice low enough not to carry, but with just enough bite to convey her annoyance.

⇢ 🎃 STATUS ﹕ open. ⇢ 🎃 LOCATION ﹕ portum's annual halloween fair.
marisela had always had a love hate relationship with halloween. on one hand, it was fun to dress up, and the magic in the air was almost palpable – hidden in plain sight among the lights and laughter. on the other hand, there were so many harmful stereotypes about witches that ran rampant during the season as well. when her fellow witches in portum last year had explained the annual halloween fair, marisela was honestly hesitant to have anything to do with it. however, once she attended, she realized how different halloween was in portum in the best way popular. so, this year, marisela was actually excited to participate in the festivities. even went so far as to dress up like the love witch, although she wasn’t sure how many would understand the reference. she wandered through the crowds, eyes trailing over families, groups of kids daring each other to brave the haunted house, and vendors calling out. one such vendor was calling people to try the ring toss game. marisela lingered, arms crossed as she watched the game with narrowed eyes. she tilted her head, calculating what the chances were–was it rigged or just as impossible as it seemed? she stepped forward to take a closer look and bumped her shoulder against someone standing next to her. “oh, sorry about that!” she apologized, then gestured towards the people currently playing. “thinking of trying your hand, or just here to watch everyone else miss?”

mari’s smile didn’t quite reach her eyes this time. her gaze briefly scanned the space and fog around them, sensing for dangers her eyes could not see, and then she returned her focus on the agathion before her. “it pisses me off,” she admitted, lowering her voice. “this place was supposed to be safe… my sanctuary. and now, it’s like every shadow’s got teeth.” marisela released a slow, controlled breath, like she was trying not to bite down too hard on the frustration curling inside her. “i came here to get away from this kind of shit.” she let out an amused snort at his quip about iced lattes. “hey now, i’m from tacoma, washington, so i can’t really judge,” she smirked. “if some psychopath wants to indulge in iced lattes, far being it from me to steal that joy from them.” marisela’s gaze softened slightly as she studied – truly studied – his face. “you look like hell, bas,” she commented with a gentle nudge of her elbow. “and i say that with love. the kind of love that force-feed you tea with valerian root and tuck you in with a weighted blanket.” marisela tilted her head to watch his reactions. she could tell he wasn’t exactly in the mood to banter, but she hated to see her friend so despondent. “i can threaten the fog with a chancla if it helps you get two damn hours of sleep?”
oh, she gets it. sebastian is relieved that he's not the only one who feels there is something off about the fog. “ it's like some higher power is out there, holding their breath, just waiting for the right moment. or– like we're standing on a pile of explosives and the fuse has already been lit, and there's only a matter of time before it blows up. ” the anticipation is hell, stuck waiting for someone else to die, for something else to go wrong. it just compounds everything that's already wrong with him.
“ haven't been sleeping well, ” he admits begrudgingly. mari doesn't seem to be going for a serious conversation, but bas doesn't have much capacity to be humorous at the moment. still, he tries to throw a less serious response in. “ and some idiot keeps ordering iced lattes in this weather. ”

⇢ 🔮 STATUS ﹕ closed ⇢ 🔮 TAGGING ﹕ theo sinchai ( @macabr3s ) ⇢ 🔮 LOCATION ﹕ white oleander
marisela was overwhelmed by the scent of flowers as she stepped through the door of white oleander. the mix of scents reminded her of her forest treks with her father as a child and the corner of her mouth twitched upward at the memory. it was a stark contrast to the sterile scent of the hospital she’d just left, and it alone eased some of the tension she’d been carrying in her shoulders. marisela had been to the flower shop before – admired the meticulous care with which theo kept their shop – but today she wasn’t just browsing. she needed something specific. “hi theo. i’m looking for something specific,” marisela said, leaning slightly on the counter and getting straight to business. “cestrum nocturnum – night-blooming jasmine. preferably fresh, if you have it.” her voice was even, but her tone made it clear that she wasn’t asking for aesthetics. spells were finicky things, and she needed the one she was working on to work. “tell me you have good news for me?”

⇢ 🔮 STATUS ﹕ closed continued from here. ⇢ 🔮 TAGGING ﹕ kanda chokdee ( @scvntillas ) ⇢ 🔮 LOCATION ﹕ portum's fair
marisela barely flinched as the small person yelled at her. she'd noticed them near the oracles' tents at the fair, and recognized them as the little one that followed cal around. kanda, her mind helpfully supplied. marisela found herself drifting closer as she recognized the distress on her features. “what's wrong?” she asked, in lieu of the more obvious question. as a nurse and a person, she was incapable of walking away from someone in such clear pain. “you look like you're about to implode.” the fairgrounds were noisy without question – with so many people it even made her feel claustrophobic, but if the noise was what was getting to kanda, panicking was not going to help shut it all out.

marisela crossed her arms in front of him, approaching him carefully with slow, deliberate movements like she was approaching a spooked animal. her eyes flicked over to the bloodstain and then back to his face. the dramatic heartbreak on his face was almost funny. a white designer shirt and the absolute devastation of a man who’d probably survived centuries and yet this was the breaking point? “honestly,” she drawled out, reaching out with two fingers to peel his hand away from the fabric and better inspect it. her fingers wer warm against his cold ones. “it’s terrible. tragic, even. a crime against fashion.” marisela smirked, the teasing lingering as she dropped his hand, little sympathy on her features. “but you’ll live, i think. you know, for someone who’s already dead.”
for: open to everyone <3 location: anywhere cap: no cap we die like women
"This... is the worst thing that's ever happened to me." Cue the vampire falling to his knees, white hair pouring down the slope of his shoulders like a blanket of snow as his head hangs low, anguish swelling in his throat.
It almost looks like he might be crying for a second, before those glossy bluebell eyes flicker upwards, wet and pleading, lacking its usual predatory spark as he clutches to his white designer shirt like a dying rabbit. "How bad is it?" He asks in a teary voice, clutching the red bloodstain between his fingertips. "Tell me the truth."

marisela walked beside her, steps unhurried as the streetlights flickered overhead. the light casted ender in a golden-glow as they moved beyond it and mari smiled to herself. "what? you think i dragged you out here just to flirt?" she asked, blinking repeatedly and doing her best to paste an innocent expression on her face. it was terribly unsuccessful if only due to the wicked glint that shimmered in her eyes. the corner of her mouth was tugging upwards, the wry smile layered with interest. "i mean, you're not wrong, but give me a little more credit." there was something quietly devastating about ender. the way she moved and talked was as if she was trying to remember how this had all felt—to be wanted. marisela saw ��it, recognized the feeling, but didn't say anything. it wasnt for her or anyone else to assess or analyze. "well, the rest of portum's loss is my gain, don't you think?" marisela stepped in just enough for her fingertips to ghost over ender's wrist without touching. her magic stirred behind her ribs, but she didn't pull back. "maaaybe i just wanted to see what you were like without the crowd. just you, and that ravishing little smile of yours." marisela tilted her head, eyes glittering mischievously. "besides, you were winning that trivia round. and frankly? i'm a sore loser. figured i would take a prize for myself anyway."
it had been too long. it had once been easy, almost effortless — batting her eyelashes at men at the bar even if the very thought of them made her feel sick. she wasn’t sure whether it was her death that had taken away that ability, or the knock to her confidence that ender’s demise had inevitably brought. whatever it had been, it seemed not to matter in the presence of marisela. she was beautiful — eyes like gold, hair cascading in tawny waves. she looked like a girl in the movies that would end up with some old, crusty, decrepit man at the conclusion. but this wasn’t a movie. this was real, and whenever ender glanced up she was pleasantly surprised to learn that marisela’s eyes were still on her. and then her lips moved, and ender found herself entranced. was it some witchy encantation ? was she being hypnotised ? whatever it was, it was compelling enough for ender to turn to the rest of her team and make her excuses. they could always finish without her — she had given them enough niche, strange, complicated answers to see them through to the end. she approached the woman and tilted her head in silent questioning, following marisela out of the bar and onto the cobbles of portum’s streets. the air was warmer than she expected — maybe it was because her skin was so cold to begin with. “we didn’t stay to see who won,” she joked, walking ahead, not looking back. “i’m sure the boys will text and let me know how we rank. without their great and all powerful leader, they might flounder … but i feel like i’ve prepared them enough to fly solo.” after a few more steps, ender turned to meet marisela’s gaze. her tongue flicked against her teeth, and she smiled that ravishing smile that had brought so many women — and, regrettably, men — to their knees during her life. “you couldn’t wait, could you ? ” she teased, “just had to get me out of there and somewhere a little more quiet. i’ll be honest, i haven’t had that a lot since coming here … i just assumed the people of portum had bad taste.”

marisela didn't even flinch at the hiss, just raised an eyebrow and met nila's stare with an amused look. "querida, if i wanted to torture you, i'd at least light some candles and play some music first," she joked. her focus returned to the wound as she dabbed the edge of it again, gentler this time. "this is called disinfecting, which is what we do when we don't want shit going from bad to worse." despite the sarcasm, marisela could feel herself soften a bit towards the dragon. she knew what it felt like to lose control of your body. "i'm marisela, and for what it's worth, you're doing fine. you know for this being one of your first actual injuries and all. good news is it's all cleaned up now," she said, turning around to dump the bloody gauze in the hazardous waste bin. her dark eyes inspected nila's arm carefully now that she'd cleaned the wound. "bad news is: i do think you'll need a few stitches, not many, but i promise, i'm really trying to help."
there was no escaping the pained noise that left nila's lips as the nurse moved their arm back and forth , assessing the damage. "we don't usually tend to need you guys ," nila replied , just a tad bitter. to be painfully honest , there was nothing more humiliating than feeling as fragile as a glass ornament. every doorway was a new bruise and every furniture corner was as sharp as a nail. "which , in turn , has not made me the most careful of people. i'm quite the clutz but it's never been an issue before. i'm nila ," they added , eyeing the warm eyes and patient smile. "what's yours ?" nila hissed as the antiseptic touched her open wound. "what the fuck ?" they asked , incredulous , "this is what you do to people here ?" nila was starting to wonder if this was the proper place for them to be after all. she wasn't sure marisela wasn't pursuing a hidden interest in torture. "you say you've got my back , but i feel like that's more a threat than anything."

“what’s it this time?” marisela echoed, slightly amused while her tone carried its usual bite. she stepped closer to the bar, her heels clicking against the floor as she took sharp, deliberate steps towards him. it was a rare night off for marisela, and she’d been finding herself at envy more evenings than usual. “why are you always so quick to assume i’m here to bother you?” when she’d first crossed paths with daxton, she’d been wary of him. it didn’t take a master to detect the power that simmered beneath his skin, but it simultaneously also drew her in. there was something familiar in his essence – the combination of magic and darkness that swirled in him feeling like an echo of her own, albeit it the circumstances different. her green eyes flicked to the glass in his hand before returning to meet his gaze. “relax, cariño. i’m not here to cause trouble—at least, not tonight.” marisela leaned against the bar, her fingers tracing aimlessly along the grain of the bar top, an air of practiced nonchalance. “i’m just a simple girl on a night on the town. i’d like a drink if you’d be so kind.” the upward tick of her lips resulting in more of a smirk rather than a smile.
status : open to all. location : envy, late at night.
the low hum of murmurs and the thump of bass music fill the air as he leans against the bar at envy, a place where the supernatural meets the sinful. his fingers absentmindedly trace the cool surface of the glass in front of him, a dark liquid swirling inside. the club is busy tonight, packed with a mix of familiar faces and those eager to spend their coin on whatever vices this night might offer. his sharp eyes scan the room, watching for trouble, his silver rings catching the dim light from the overhead lights. his trinket hums softly against his skin, a quiet reminder of the power he holds — and the danger it brings.
a familiar voice calls from across the bar, snapping him out of his thoughts. he looks up, his gaze sharp as always. another drink order, or another problem to deal with? either way, it’s a distraction. his eyes narrow, lips curling into a wry grin. “ what’s it this time? ”

marisela raised a singular eyebrow, her arms crossed as she leaned back in the booth. the question about the ratio of monster mash had her letting out a snort. “it’s not that i dislike the set…” she trailed off. it wasn’t like she knew very much about music to begin with – just what sounded pleasing to her ears. “and as far as more or less monster mash goes…the answer is a firm less. like…significantly less.” her eyes shimmered with that familiar, mischievous glint she got whenever she was about to deliver a particularly sharp jab. “right now, it’s giving…cheesy high school halloween party.”
location: rosie's diner for whom: open to all
" so what you're saying is you don't like the set ?" he questioned, trying to hide the disappointment on his face. even dillon had to admit it was experimental, but he really thought there could be a fitting party in town for his brat monster mash mix. he leaned back in the booth, scratching the back of his neck, " would you say it needs more or less monster mash ?"

“guessing game is putting it kindly,” marisela replied, the corner of her mouth tugging up into a tired smirk. “it’s like trying to thread a needling in the hurricane.” her tone was light, but it didn’t quite hide the tension in her shoulder. she glanced down at her hands, flexing her sore fingers from the magic she’d expended that was starting to dwindle. “rosie’s sounds good though. i really am starving, i’m no good to anyone if i burn out.” there was a reluctant honesty – she hated admitting her weaknesses, but this wasn’t a time for being secretive. “come on, then. you paying?” she asked, already leading the way out of the hospital.
❝ twelve hours? ❞ a rise in her voice with the surprise. ❝ then we should do this over rosie's or something. what if something happens and you're needed again? ❞ she chose to play at the witch's compassion, knowing it would be the thing to convince her own self and marisela seemed like she cared very much about her job. ❝ i bet, ❞ a slightly nervous laugh as she thinks about her apartment that's reminiscent of a jungle, her nymph powers seemingly heightened and things growing exponentially without any warning. luckily she hadn't been the cause of anyone getting hurt — yet. ❝ that sounds terrifying. ❞ her own healing was something that needed work, but maybe that too was heightened. she could hope. ❝ so, until this is over, trying to heal people is kind of a guessing game? ❞ an educated one but still pretty nerve wracking for even the hybrid, who was used to things around her going awry.

lax about her case? that’s what he called the way his father had sent someone after her a year and a half ago? when her best friend had almost died because of her? marisela’s pulse stuttered against her ribs painfully at the thought. she’d left her hometown because of the danger she’d posed to her loved ones – and now she had gotten to relaxed about her security measures. maldita estupida. she crossed her arms over her chest defensively. “poetic,” she deadpanned. “didn’t figure raum for the sentimental type – but i guess even monsters have layers.” her eyes flicked to wally’s hands, noting the fresh coat of polish catching the light. marisela remembered the first time she crossed paths with wally. a dark alley, and a sharp grin on his face as he emerged from the shadows. she’d thought he was some kind of hellhound, sent to rip through whatever was left of her safety, but over time, she’d realized he was less reaper and more Cheshire Cat. “so… messaged received,” marisela’s gaze lingered on him, suspiciously. “when are you heading out?”
"truth be told, he's been pretty lax about your case," he said, looking at the fresh coat on his nails before making eye contact with marisela. "whatever, y'know? makes my job easier, it's just that i think," his weight is now shifted, his elbows land on the table while, "for him, the wait makes your magic all the more delectable. absence makes the heart grow fonder, you feel me?" he shifted his weight again, now leaning on the back of the chair, hands up. "i mean, what do i know, right? i'm just the messenger," he said, "but diva, he knows you're here. it's only a matter of time before he gets what he wants. hope you're not too attached to this place." raum was pretty cutthroat. sending wally to do this job was mercy, but his patience can only go so far. neither wally nor marisela wanted to see the man himself enter the walls of this town.

with a raised eyebrow, marisela watched aeri down her shot with a knowing smirk. they were relatively new friends, but she couldn’t help but be impressed at the way the girl was holding her alcohol. she could feel the frustration rolling off her in waves, and marisela felt just as incessed. the injustice of the whole situation was still fresh in both of their minds. “no, you totally have every right to be angry,” she countered, leaning back in her chair and crossing her arms. “that old hag practically cursed the walls with her whining and somehow she gets the place? it’s ridiculous.” marisela poured herself another shot of whiskey, they had asked the bartender to leave the bottle so they could serve themselves. she knocked back her own drink before pouring another one for them both. “still, i think portum has a way of giving people what they need,” she mused, swirling the liquid in her shot glass. at least, that’s what she was hoping. she hadn’t expected to end up in portum, but from the sounds of it that was usually how it worked. marisela shook her head, physically preventing her thoughts from straying to the reason she was in a new town to begin with. “we won’t be at that motel forever. the universe has a way of balancing things out, even if it takes its sweet time.”
starter — aeri jeong
SETTING: the old haunt ; evening AVAILABILITY: closed starter for MARISELA LEON | ( @fatestln )
— · flashback thread · —
"Seriously I can't believe that old hag was the one who got the apartment." Aeri wasn't knowing to be that vocal about things, or... maybe she was more known to be more prone to write spiteful things than saying them out loud, but it seemed highly unfair that someone who had spent the entire visitation complaining about everything under the sun, had been the one to end up with the apartment. So yes, Aeri was fuming as she downed another shot of whiskey. She had been raised on soju and makgeolli, so her alcohol intake was quite high. "Sorry, I know I shouldn't be this angry, but, I'm tired of living at the motel at the end of the street. If we were living somewhere else in the world, I'd probably be fearing being killed by a serial killer or something right now."
