Dilan & Aiyla @moonglowmagic

Dilan's place

Aiyla had taken her time developing the photos from the last event. She'd usually been known for a quick turnaround time. But given the less-than-ideal circumstances of death and rats she was hoping Dilan would be fine with it- but just in case she knocked on Dilan's door coffee in hand, the photos tucked under her arm meticulously gone over for the best ones. Aiyla pushed curls out of her face, "Morning," She quipped extending Dilan's drink as a way of greeting, "Your fave."

[aiylabaysal]

Aiyla spent a short time convincing Dilan she would be fine. Once the dawn passed and the chaos subsided leaving way for the fall out to be seen in full light Aiyla wondered if she had hunkered down as she instructed the other faeries to do- but even with the ache of the night before Aiyla doubted she would have found safety a moment sooner. Now she had to sort through all that happened piece together a timeline and check on each of the court members to make sure they were all still with her. The knot in the pit of her stomach lessened each time she checked a name off her list. Marking each of her beloved Faeries safe filled her with a hope she would unpack later. Knocking on Dilan's door she let herself inside after knocking- "Dilan!" She called for her padding around until she came face to face with her and her shoulders relaxed, "Let me get a good look at you, Biloute." A term of endearment crossed her lips as she closed the space between them emotion glossing over her eyes.

─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Dilan watched as the chaos unfolded and she had to admit that it was good entertainment, until it turned into something darker. At the thought of something darker Dilan didn’t waste any time and turned invisible, planning to get out of there as fast as she could. Especially when she noticed that it was more than just the witches affected, it was the vampires. Rather than waiting around to be good for someone she took Aiyla’s words and got ready to head home. “You don’t have to tell me twice.” She informed Aiyla as she appeared visible once more. “Are you not coming with?” Looking back at Aiyla with a hopefulness. “We can’t leave you. You need to get to safety too.”

[faerietothe-otherside]

with: @moonglowmagic (Dilan) where: the grocery store (because who doesn't love a good meltdown in the grocery store)

Rangi didn't know how long she'd been standing in the cereal aisle when she heard someone say her name. Blinking, she turned to look towards them, taking a moment to readjust back to reality instead of the disassociate trance she'd just been in. For a moment, her mind didn't recognize who was there. Her mind didn't recognize a lot, lately. It felt like it was drifting away from her, faster and faster each day.

"Dilan," she finally said, when her brain finally made the connection between the voice and the face. The last time she'd seen Dilan the two hadn't exactly been on good terms, but any resentment or guile Rangi had had for the other fae had drained away long ago. "Sorry, am I in your way?" It was really the only thing she could think to say. Her eyes scanned the other girl, checking to see if she, too, still possessed the scars of what they'd both done just a few nights ago. Rangi knew vampire blood was an option to help heal, or even magic, but she'd ignored any offered help and made sure to look at the bruises around her neck each morning, and the iron burns on her wrists each night. Strangling someone didn't leave anything behind, only the crushing weight of their life still held firmly between her palms.

Royal Ball 2

Masterlist

Vessel x reader

Sleep will be referred to as “Queen Jeinnv” 

Vessel will be referred to as “Prince Adrian”

II will be referred to as “Prince Roddric”

III will be referred to as “Dilan, Duke of Elderstock”

IV will be referred to as “ Edgard, Duke of Haverlem”

Chapter 2 

The Royal Place is even more grand than I remember. The last time I was here was my father’s  title ceremony. Tonight under the full moon the place is more beautiful. As our carriage pulls closer to the front gates I can hear faint music in the air. As we enter the main entrance my mother makes sure to point out the members of the nobility.

“Remember girls your goal is to marry up not down.” she says as she adjusts her mask. “I need to be sure you are going to be taken care of by a man of means.”

“Darling, you're making them nervous.” my father interjects.

As we stand on the stairs before the ballroom the same panicked feeling starts to return. I try to distract myself with the flowers on the banister. There is a mix of red roses, white chrysanthemums and black charm lilies. Quinn gets my attention with a tap to my shoulder and motions her head to the top of the stairs.

“Look, that's Dilan, Duke of Elderstock and next to him has to be Edgard, Duke of Haverlem!” she whispers.

“How do you know?” I whisper back.

“I doubt that the crowned prince’s best friends would not be here.” She says “Besides, he is the tallest man here.”

We share a giggle as the royal announcer confirms the identity of the masked men we were just talking about. Soon we reach the doors to the ballroom. I see my father give the announcer a card. He then bellows my family’s arrival, as we enter the ballroom.

I try not to notice the eyes that linger on me and my sisters as we enter. I tell myself that the “hard part” is over. I have entered the Ball and have not made a fool of myself. I would be surprised if anyone could hear our announcement over the full orchestra playing. Yet someone does, the only friends we have, Viscount Gray.

The Viscount and his family had been the first to visit after we moved into the manor. His daughter Lucy had become our friend immediately. It was good to see a familiar face. My brothers walk off with the Viscount’s sons to mingle as my sisters, Lucy and I find a table to sit at.

We get little time to chat when suddenly the orchestra stops playing. We look at each other when we hear.

“Her Royal Majesty Queen Jeinnv, Prince Adrian and Prince Roddric!”

At the top of the Ballroom’s entry stairway stood the queen with one Prince each side of her. As the three entered the Ball we bowed as they passed. When the Queen reaches a small thone placed in the room she addresses all the guests.

“My dearest subjects, I thank for joining us tonight to celebrate my son’s birthday.” the crowd starts to cheer. “Tonight we invite you all to drink and be merry. Happy birthday to my son Prince Adrian.”

My father rounds us up to greet the Queen and wish the Prince a happy birthday. When we reach the front of the line I get a better look at the Queen. She is dressed in the royal family colors, black and gold.  Prince Adrian is on her left and Prince Roddric is on her right. The three look otherworldly. Especially because the Queen is the only one without a mask.

“My Queen.” my father says, as he bows to her. “May I present my family. You remember my wife, my two sons and my three daughters.” We all bow as father introduces us. “Happy birthday my Prince.”

Prince Adrian nods his head. It is hard to know what he is looking at under his white and red mask. The mask greatly stands out from his black suit. Prince Roddric is dressed more simply; his mask and suit are both completely black.

“Excellent to see you tonight Baron. I’m glad your family is here with you.” Queen Jeinnv says “How old are your sons Baron?” she then asks.

“I’m 27 and Andrew is 25, my Queen.” Alfred answers.

“Wonderful! It would be good for my sons to have more friends their age. Not just the Dukes.” Both Dukes are nearby and turn toward the Queen when she makes the comment. 

“Only if they can keep up on horseback.” joke Duke Dilan.

Duke Edgard walks over to shake my brother's hands. The four walk off together after the brief introduction. It looks like they are having a successful night so far. The orchestra starts back up when we walk back to our table. We share a drink before a man approaches me and my sisters and asks Quinn if she would like to dance.

“Of course she would!” Mother says “All of you should go dance.”

Her tone lets us know we don’t have much of a choice in the matter. As Quinn walks onto the dancefloor me and Maddie stand together on the sidelines and wait to be invited to dance. Lucy Gray finds us again to tell me and Maddie the gossip about the lord Quinn is with.

I started to think that tonight wouldn’t be so bad. The castle is beautiful, I’m with the people I love, the orchestra is playing and the drinks are flowing. I truly start to relax then a group of men approach us.

“Would you ladies honor us with a dance?”

[justkeeponsimming]

All the feels float around the Quick home as the family return to the home where they grew up.

Zeta feels the wave of nostalgia hit her hard like a tsunami as she steps foot into her old home. She raised five amazing children here with her wife, Esme. The house remains untouched since she and Esme moved out to tend to the larger family farm in Windenburg. Her kids’ paintings still hang around the front door. Even one of her wedding photos remains on the wall above a faux fireplace. 

It’s overwhelming to look back on all of the wonderful memories made in this home. Esme’s brother, Dilan, moved in to the farm years ago - a house swap of sorts. Since then, his daughters have grown up and he’s lost his wife, Lydia. Dilan now has a new partner, Genevieve, and has a child with her - named Ella. There have been some huge changes for the family, even if the home looks the same.

Zeta stops short in the living room as she regards her daughter, Jazz, chatting to her brother-in-law, Verge. She can remember the day when her daughter’s feet wouldn’t touch the floor, and now she’s a fully grown sim!

Knowing that her unusual bout of strong emotions likely comes from Esme, her wife, and her empathic abilities, Zeta takes a deep breath to centre herself. She joins the rest of her family to chat and catch up before the ceremony begins.

Berkecamuk (part #1)

Sabtu, 07 Juni 2025, 07.58 AM:

"Kak" sapanya memulai chat hari itu. Kami memang rutin sekali chat, apalagi anak-anak senang dan selalu bertanya tentang amainya.

"Oiikk" jawabku sekenanya.

"Mau mengundang kabin dan om ihsan di acara lamaran aii besok" lanjutnya.

What?! Teriakku dalam hati.

Kenapa.. kenapa.. mendadak. Segala thinking mulai menggerogoti pikiranku. Mungkin mayoritasnya bertema kesedihan. Aku speechless, ngga tahu mau menuruti emosi atau berusaha menjadi seorang kakak yang bahagia mendengar kabar gembira adik nya.

"Ndak bilang-bilang dari awal. Malas ihh. Shabrina left chat" balasku menahan sedih.

Dia masih membalas chat-ku. Mungkin berusaha menganggap kalau aku tidak sesedih itu. Tapi aku sudah tak sanggup lagi menanggapinya.

Kenapa? Karena diriku masih di Sawahlunto, dan besoknya baru akan memulai perjalanan panjang menuju Tanjung Enim dan kemungkinan besar sampai hari Senin. Tentu saja momen istimewa itu tak kan bisa kuhadiri.

Aku tak bisa menahan diri. Aku mulai menunjukkan kesedihanku secara tak langsung. Sesekali dia menanggapi, tapi tidak kugubris. Perasaanku masih berkecamuk sekali. Namun aku berusaha sekali untuk menatanya, seharian.

Malamnya, dengan sekuat rasa (wkwk) aku chat dengan kalimat formal, tidak seperti biasanya.

"Semoga dilancarkan acara lamarannya besok yaa Ainan. Berkah selalu disetiap prosesnya. Maaf kami belum bisa hadir memenuhi undangan lamarannya 🙏🏼", tulisku.

Dia pun membalasnya, tapi mungkin masih dengan sangka 'aku aman saja'.

Esoknya, aku memberanikan diri untuk bertanya, "jam berapa mulai acaranya". Duh, perasaanku kalut menanti jawaban, aku penasaran, aku pengen hadir, tapi apalah daya. Karena tanya tak kunjung berbalas, kuhapus chat yang sudah terkirim dan mungkin sudah terbaca.

Tak lama, jawabannyapun diterima, "jam 2 kak, insyaAllah", balasnya. Sudah dibaca ternyata, pikirku.

Ainan sempat video call 1 jam sebelum acara. Tapi sepertinya aku sedang tertidur atau sedang tidak memegang hape (hape pun silent mode sejak punya anak). Dia pun ngepap foto sekali lihat. Ketika aku terbangun, kubuka hape dan kulihat kirimannya, waah foto persiapannya, sudah rapi dengan dress lamarannya. MasyaAllah, tapi tetap tak kubalas.

Huaaaahh, sepanjang jalan menuju Tanjung Enim, air mata terus saja mengalir. Ntah kenapa. Berkecamuk segala rasa kayaknya. Dari sedih, senang, kesel juga, apalagi yaa. Mau chat, tapi masih baper. Tenggelam dalam rasa sedih dan penasaran saja selama itu.

Akhirnya, aku chat Copi, temennya. Tiba-tiba saja terpikirkan sebuah pertanyaan yang sebenarnya juga ingin ditanyakan beberapa bulan lalu ke Ainan. Mungkin sudah firasat, sayangnya tidak langsung dieksekusi.

"Copi copii, nanti kalo copi sudah nikah kira-kira bakal tetap suka ngerespon story kaksop ni ngga yaa. Bakal masih suka chat sama kaksop ndak yaaa >,<", tanyaku. Disatu sisi malu sih, berasa kekanak-kanakan kalau nanya begini. Mungkin itu juga sebabnya tanya ini tak kunjung terujar ke Ainan. Maluu.. haha

Syukurnya Copi, meski tak dikasih tahu perkaranya apa, jawabannya sangat-sangat membesarkan hati. Tapi teteup, buat air mata menganak sungai lagi. Nangis muluk. Emang sedih sih!

Setelah dipikir-pikir lagi, kesedihan yang aku rasakan (selain karna ngga dapet cerita jauh-jauh hari dan ngga bisa hadir lamaran) ternyata aku punya kekhawatiran, kalau adek (angkut) ku ini menikah, tentu segalanya akan banyak berubah, banyak hal jadi makin terbatas. Seingatku, adek kandungku menikah saja aku tidak sebaper ini. Hmm, mungkin karena intensitas berjumpa adek kandung lebih terjamin dibanding adik ketemu gede ini. Hiks.

Mungkin karena aku engaged ya sama dirimu nan. Wkwk. Gimana ngga engaged sih, sesekeluarga involved sama pernikahanku. Di rantau bertetangga. Bahkan ummi dan abinya jadi orangtua ideologis selama di rantau sini. Sampai anak-anak pun akrab, senang dan menanti-nanti untuk main bareng Ainan dan saudara-saudaranya. Dah macam keluarga kan?!

Dahlah, meski masih sedih karena karena.. nanti deh dilanjutkan lagi ceritanya di part-part berikutnya? :"

[xndrpressure]

where : The Royal bid hous

who :Dilan (@dilanseyfi)

The air inside Royal Bid House always smelled expensive—like aged leather, ink on crisp contracts, and the kind of money that didn’t always need to announce itself. Whatever kind of air-freshener they picked to accomplish it, it sure always smelled a bit like home. Antonella had learned to move through these halls more like a ghost, always present, always watching, never lingering long enough for anyone to pin her down. Not unless she wanted to be seen. But tonight, she wasn’t the one doing the watching. She felt it before she saw it, a tingling feeling at the back of her neck as she observed LA from behind the tinted window—that quiet weight of someone waiting.

She turned, slow and deliberate, catching the assistant standing just outside the threshold of her office. “Let me guess,” she drawled, crossing her arms, “you flipped a coin before knocking and lost.” What followed was a beat of silence. She was hardly the kind of woman to with easy problems, or to have a nice little chat. Not at work, anyway. “Go on, then,” she said, tilting her head just slightly. “Tell me what’s got you looking like you’d rather be anywhere but here.”

[lunarcovehq]

"Come, Watson, come!" he cried. "The game is afoot." 

WHO DONE IT? - PLOT DROP #3

Welcome players for the game is on! The Lunar Covians who rsvp'd have all received their roles and clues for the evening. But, now it is time to put them into action.

You all have been invited to the billionaire and inventor of the newest steam engine on the market, Mrs. Cara Davers, dinner party for one reason or another. Some of you were brought here under the guise of a social event for the elite, others felt as though they had been threatened to attend and even more believed they were there for a dinner in memory of the late Mr. Davers. But, what is certain upon arrival is that this isn't your typical dinner party...

CALLING ALL PLAYERS

Join us on Saturday over in discord for our Murder Mystery dinner! While the event is mandatory, this IC discord event is optional and is sure to be a bunch of fun. Participation will count as activity for the week as well for those who RSVP'd last week and are active within the discord channel.

We have sent out all of the invitations detailing out your character's persona and clues your character is personally privy to, but if you have not received one yet, please send a message to the main so that we can resend it to you.

The instructions for how the murder mystery dinner will play out will happen in the discord channel step by step, but if you have any questions in the meantime concerning your character's role or clues, feel free to reach out privately to Becca so that we can talk you through it.

Also, please keep your character's clues to yourself for now. The fun part of the game is trying to uncover clues from everyone else as you go.

How you can prepare: Before Saturday, if you can create a new discord tupperbot or temporarily edit the name of your discord tupperbot to reflect the persona your character will be taken on that would be great. There will be some admins examples in the chat shortly. Below is also a list of the attendees that you can review before the dinner party begins.

And last but not least, we hope you have a brew-tiful time!

[faerietothe-otherside]

Who: @moonglowmagic (Dilan) Where: Hospital, outside Aiyla's room

Though Rangi had scrubbed the blood from her hands hours ago, every time she looked down at them, all she could see was the deep, dark red staining her skin. It was in the seams of her palms, under her fingernails, stuck to the cracks in her skin. She'd washed the blood from hands hours ago, once, twice, three times over but she still saw red, clear as day, all over her.

She could even still smell the copper and iron, like it was stuck in her nose. Like every part of her was still back in that street, looking down on Aiyla as the other banshee bled out on the road. Every part except her body. Her physical self was here. The nurses had cleaned up her bleeding palms and knees and feet, given her some slippers to wear, a blanket to wrap up in, as she refused to go down to the ER for her own room. She wanted to be right here, right outside of Aiyla's room. She wanted to be where she could see and remind herself that they were safe now. That Aiyla wasn't still bleeding out in the street and that Rangi wasn't still screaming until it felt like her throat was ripping itself apart.

Something moved out of the corner of her eye and Rangi snapped up quickly, alert-- but it wasn't danger, it wasn't someone there to try and hurt Aiyla.

It was Dilan, someone Rangi knew, a fellow fae. Someone who probably should've been a comfort to see, someone who Rangi knew she should be grateful to see. And yet, she couldn't bring herself to feel anything other than numb.

"She's not awake yet," Rangi mumbled.

Royal Ball 4

Masterlist

Vessel x reader

Sleep will be referred to as “Queen Jeinnv” 

Vessel will be referred to as “Prince Adrian”

II will be referred to as “Prince Roddric”

III will be referred to as “Dilan, Duke of Elderstock”

IV will be referred to as “ Edgard, Duke of Haverlem”

“Excuse me, my lady, would you like to dance?”

When I look to see who was talking to me I almost faint. Standing right in front of me is his highness Prince Adrian! I’m not sure if the room goes silent but it definitely feels that way. I look between his hand and face. My mouth goes dry.

“Would you like to dance?” he asked again, this time a little louder. Clearly thinking I didn’t hear him. I can hear whispers of the people around me.

“Yes.” I murmur while taking his hand.

The Prince leads me back to the dance floor. I hear the music again, maybe the orchestra did stop. As we bow to each other the music swells and he holds my right hand and puts the other on my hip and starts to lead me. Up close I can really study the mask he is wearing. It is stark white with the royal family crest on the top half. The bottom half is bright red and a delicate lace design.

“I do hope that the Duke of Elderstock didn’t force you to laugh at his awful jokes.” The Prince suddenly says.

“No your Majesty. He was a perfect gentleman.” I respond

“I think you might be the first to say that.” The Prince says. “You can be honest. He has never been very funny.”

“I’m sure he has some good jokes, my Prince.”

“If he does I have yet to hear them.” Adrian lets out a quiet snicker. It was nice to hear that the Prince and the Duke had a mutual relationship. Listening to them make fun of each other was cute.

“You’re a very good dancer.” He compliments me. I feel my face get warm.

“Thank your Majesty.”

Knowing that Adrian is studying me makes me nervous and I turn my head to look away from him. That was a mistake. I’m suddenly confronted with eyes. I knew people would be watching the dance floor but this is a new intensity. My heart is hammering in my chest.

Adrian notices my distress and speaks up. “Are you alright?”

“Everyone is staring at us.” I say, taking another ill advised look around us.

“Yes you’re right.” He confirms “Do you want to stop? I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.”

I want to say ‘yes’ and run away from him. Instead I chose to be brave.

“No it’s okay.”

“I’m not sure if it would make you better, but please know that they are only staring because they are jealous of you.”

“Why would anyone be jealous of me?”

“You’re my first dance.”

Oh! Now everything makes sense. When the dance ends Adrian bows and kisses my hand.

“If I haven’t scared you away, I would like to have the next dance as well.”

I can’t stop the smile on my face.

“I would love to.”

The Prince has a nice smile. We chat a little more and Adrain reveals that this ball was Queen Jeinnv’s idea. Duke Dilan said he didn’t like parties but to know he has not had a hand in the ball at all was odd to me. I guess I always believed no one could command the Prince. No one but his mother it seems.

I’m not sure how long I have been dancing with the Prince but I have learned a bit about him. He is a lover of snakes, his favorite game is chess, he composes music and plays the piano. In return I talked about myself. My recent interest in watercolors, I told him how I learned to swim, my fear of crowds and that I also play piano.

“I should write us a duet.” Prince Adrian says excitedly. His excitement is really endearing.

Then the two of us are stopped when a hand is placed on the Prince’s shoulder. I look over to see that the hand is attached to the Queen.

“Now my son. You shouldn't ignore your other guests.” She says. I feel Adrian tense under my hand. “Princess Emerald of Espera has been waiting all night.”

Adrian lets go of my hip before turning to speak to the Queen.

“Yes mother. I won't leave her waiting.”

Prince Adrian separates from me but still holds my hand. He lets out a quiet sigh before he speaks again.

“Thank you for your time, Baroness of Hazelwood.” he is suddening very formal. He kisses my knuckles before walking away from me and towards who I can only assume is Princess Emerald.

The rest of the night is a haze for me. Prince Adrian doesn’t approach me again. That is for the best given my mother hounded me with questions the moment she got close. But at some point the ball ends and I am back in my bed.

I can’t believe I was the Prince’s first dance at the ball meant to find him a wife!

[aksel-polat]

@dilanxbarak

She would blame her ticking internal clock for the forlorn expressions he wore while flipping through a vogue article about wedding trends that were out, passe, no longer acceptable. Then, lifting her eyes a moment to Dilan, "Did you know the bouquet toss is out?" She commented scanning the article, "favors, bubbles, rice-" Aksel frowned, "by the time I get married, " if ever, "all the rules will be different." Wrinkling her nose Aksel scoffed and closed the magazine and took a much needing drink of her latte. "I used to think I'd be married by twenty-five, have kids by thirty." She explained flatly, "Things don't really work out how we expect do they?" She commented, "How much do weddings even cost these days?"

[alezanderbo]

@dilankarsli​

as the man stood in the long line to get a table at the diner he had looked over to a smaller female who had also looked as if she was waiting. maybe she was waiting on her food to go, hell he didnt know. regardless they both seem to be waiting on something so the man figured he pass the time by being polite and striking up a conversation with the stranger. “the wait always this long at this place?” he asked curious looking over to her.
