@atticusbriggs​ location: Parco Savelo notes: it’s like he always says

It was like Ezekiel always said: suns out guns out. The weather was nice, hot as fuck, but that was to be expected in Rome. The vampire had grown up here so he was used to, not that the heat ever really bothered him these days. Another perk to being undead was not really needing to regulate his body temperature. He tossed the american football towards Atticus, it was more egg shaped than ball shaped but Ezekiel wasn’t going to question the linguistics of it. “So uh, where you’ve been staying?” The vampire felt inclined to ask, “The estate, or do you have your own place in the city?” Far as Ezekiel could tell, Atticus didn’t have a job but somehow always had cash on him.

Nervous was the last word that Raffaele would use to describe how he felt here, blood was maybe one of the things that the witch was most comfortable around. The vampire in question that he came across was sat alone in one of the back rooms, apparently waiting for someone to find him because he looked lost. Like someone had taken a lion and dropped it on a raft in the middle of the ocean. The guy is sat down as Raffaele lingered in the doorway, languid frame pressed against the frame as some familiar face remarked towards him from down the hall before he offered them a bright smile and easy wave. Even from the vampire’s seated positioned Raffaele could tell he was maybe 5′6 or 5′7 on a good day. Witches weren’t as intoxicating as fey, but Raffaele had learned that everyone had their preferences. They were relative to some degree to a blood witch, eladrins and faimen made vampires trip out but were highly addictive, demons fell somewhere in the same vein but came with an explosive boost of power.

Raffaele had long surmised that witches were the perfect medley of satisfying and alluring without triggering any dependency, all while making vampires stronger and faster without any drawbacks to speak of. It was one of the many reasons why he was so popular here. 

“You look lost.” Raffaele commented before he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him, he wished there was a spell to let him see the other’s bloodline, but the only one that came to the Narcissus’ mind required some of the vampire’s actual blood. “You want help finding your way?”

“This...This is some kind of joke, right?” Drew asked absently, gaze fixated on her cell phone. Only a single phrase occupied the gleaming screen: Sunday, 7am. 45 Algrove Drive. Two.

Noah found herself wandering the halls of the university late at night. She traced her fingers over the paint chipped walls and watched as her feet fell one in front of the other. This was a new environment and so walks were still refreshing. Nothing had been stained with memories and drama yet.

@atticusbriggs location: Haven, Brave New World notes: tongue in bootyhole emoji

Four and a half years in and Ezekiel was still thinking about Remi everyday. Hakan, Rhiannon, Magnus, Marcella, Sumeyye, Emir, and even Salvador. Most nights the vampire laid awake at night and went over everything in his head. The ravenskull necklace was a permanent fixture, laid across his chest, as he tried to sleep he held onto it and tried to listen for the woman who'd tried to drill it into him for a year that he had to take things more seriously. He'd felt untouchable back then, even as Ezekiel had stepped onto the battlefield he didn't think anything would ever be able to come close to him.

"The more you have, the more you can lose." Rhiannon's voice was in his head, it was there when he got up to train in the early hours, he heard her when he went out for supply runs, and he heard her when he looked out at how Haven had started to grow. A refuge and place of rest, maybe one of if not the only place in the world that was still safe and hidden from the Great Old Ones.

If Ezekiel had been stronger then, if he'd been faster, if he'd been more focused on helping the people next to him than showing off maybe- the vampire let the football fly from his fingers as he threw it towards Atticus. One of Haven's underground rec rooms, it was safe here, there were others, blood on hand when they needed it. There weren't a lot of people left though so rationing and conservation was important. Ezekiel had gotten used to always being at least a little hungry these days.

"I heard they found a few people hiding out in the Paris catacombs." That was good news, more mouths to feed, but maybe more blood for the vampires.

Yes it was the masquerade ball but that wasn’t going to stop him from getting Hyphy. He fixed his mask before requesting an E-40 song, it was a ball but he didn’t give a fuck about dancing slow. Once the song came on he smiled. “Shiiiiit its Uncle Earls Birthday today.” He smiled as he stuck his tongue out, he wasn’t really caring about who was around him

As expected -partially- the ball was a bore. Nothing seemed to be happening. At least nothing fun. And she was in the mood for fun, blame it on the many glasses of champagne she had. A sigh leaving her lips, her head shot in the direction of the person standing beside her, like she just had the most brilliant idea of her entire life. “Let’s play a game! Truth or dare, spin the bottle, just something to spice things up around here! Are you up for this?”

Drew: Socrates. Deep shit, man.

Drew: Anyways...did I leave my NuvaRing at your place?

Piper transferred to Atticus a few days ago, just in time to hear about a masquerade ball. She figured it’d be something fun to get to know the people she’d be spending the next year or two with. Her dress was navy blue at the top and ombréd into white. The sleeves were short and it had a close-to-the-neck neck line. Her heels were also navy blue, but she decided to go with a gold mask to tie everything together. There was a big crowd of people, but Piper decided it was best to get liquid courage before she started introducing herself. The tall blonde, stood, leaning on the bar, with a drink in hand, her eyes scanning the room for someone she’d feel would ease her into the atmosphere of Atticus.

Churro wasn’t really one for parties... or going out of his house but he wanted to push himself to start getting used to the idea of being around people and not having nervous breakdowns. Churro was walking around to find some water until he had accidentally bumped into someone, he tucked his hair behind his ear before looking at the person nervously. “I-Im sorry. I didn’t mean it- I was just trying to find the water.”

“I just witnessed somebody projectile vomiting over a bonsai tree. Night ruined,” Percy drably interjected, yawning into a champagne flute as if he was above lace frills and glittered politics. So far the masquerade had been mind numbing in its predictability. Percy wanted a scandal that didn’t leave him itching for something more. “Want to know what I think?”

Brett clipped the end of his Cuban cigar, watching narrowly as it fluttered off into the dark grass outside of the mansion like a midnight moth. “I have a sensational idea.” He thrust his vice at the person next to him after sucking in a potent gust. “Let’s play two lies and a truth."

Luca had been sitting in his office all night, trying to grade a test that his students had recently taken. It was getting darker earlier and it had seemed that it was already midnight. Luca was tired and it was starting to get harder for him to focus. Placing his pen down on the table, he leaned back in his office chair, running a hand through his hair. He sat his reading glasses atop all of the papers and stared up at the ceiling.

A sigh leaving his lips, Tyler leaned back against the couch, head turning in the other’s direction. “Surely you did not come all the way here to just sit on my couch. So just... I don’t know, talk, maybe?”
