If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song

IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL - PLOT DROP

It only takes one instant for life to dramatically change and, that instant, for Mason Mahir occurred when they were stumbling home from the Reed Twin's Birthday Bash. They hadn't had much to drink, or at least they couldn't remember if they had, and yet the previous day and a half all seemed rather fuzzy to them. They remembered showing up at Jamie Bennett's house for the party with Rangi Hira as their plus one. They remembered doing a canon ball into the pool. They remembered giving Poppy and Linden their birthday gifts. They remembered nabbing the penne alla vodka Jamie had made and making a run for it around the premises, but everything before that and everything after? Blank.

They stepped out into the cool summer night air, massaging their temples and clutching their side. They could feel a sharp pain along their lower abdomen, but chalked it up to how hard they must have gone back at the party, kicking off on their skateboard to head home. They made it down the street and around the corner. But, as they were skating past the stop sign over on Park Street, they were hit by an oncoming car. The impact was defying. The screaming wails of the banshees that broke out merely second before only made the collision of metal against skin seem ten times worse.

The party was over. Some fled over the fence of Jamie's backyard, while others ran out into the street to see what happened only to find Elena Gomez-Alvaro in tears as she clutched Mason Mahir's frail frame.

"Somebody call 911!"

But, it was too late. The light faded out of Mason's eyes before the ambulance could even show up. Time of death 12:23a. Elena Gomez-Alvaro has now officially triggered her werewolf curse. She will turn by the next full moon. While the rest of the town that was out and about that night watched in horror as another life was taken from them. Rangi Hira clung to one of Mason's hands while Song Seo-Joon held the other and, there was nothing anyone could do, but watch.

Please say goodbye to Mason. Pace will be posting one final self-para. Unfollow to come.

REMINDERS

Surprise Lunar Covians! It is time to say goodbye to one of our longstanding characters in this group. Mason Mahir has been a character here since March of last year and, as heartbreaking as it is, it is time for his story to come to an end.

The plot drop is completely optional for you to react to IC, so if you'd like your character to react to the above, you are more than welcome to, but please don't feel obligated to.

While, Mason is no longer here, the character is still Pace's, so please plot with Pace still if you decide to have your character say goodbye to Mason in their last few moments.

For the Werewolves: For the werewolves, you have a new werewolf who will be joining your ranks. Elena Gomez-Alvaro has now triggered their werewolf curse, so feel free to react accordingly.

For the Witches: You have just lost one of your own. Mason will not be coming back at this time, so you're welcome to have your characters react accordingly to that as well.

For everyone: There will be a funeral, held for Mason at a later date. Please keep an eye out for another plot drop to come. Also, for the Council, more information will come as well, so we will be having Council HC's at a later date, but hang tight on that for a few days.

Last, but not least, we typically say have fun with these things, but this time around, we will leave the plot drop off on- if you're mad that Mason is dead, blame Pace ;)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LUNAR COVIANS!

Hi everyone! We are brimming with tears and are so thankful for each and every one of you for supporting us and enjoying the home we've created here as much as we do. It is truly an honor to say Happy Two Year Anniversary! We've made it to our terrible twos and we have so much good stuff in store for you guys. This year will have the end of the Catalyst (our plot one) and will kick off the start of our brand new villain and new story arc which we are lovingly referring to as season 2 (which we honestly can say is an even better storyline with many twist and turns to come). We thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for spending these last two years with us and becoming our friends and family in more ways than one. We love you all so much (we can't say it enough). We'd be nothing without you and we are so happy we are celebrating this milestone. We look forward more years to come and in honor of our anniversary, we've decided to continue our tradition and giving you all some clues as to what you may see down the line. Enjoy our second prophecy of the rp and we can't wait to hear all of your theories as to what you might think it may mean.

With the start of summer and the identity reveal of the Catalyst, the Banshees who work at Good Omens combined their magic in an attempt to look into the future for the whole town. Below is what they have predicted to come true, but only time will tell as to what each line means-

The cycle resets, A town left bereft, One chapter will exit stage-left, But, there will be no rest. For in the year, another will be possessed,  The truth suppressed. Have you already been visited by an unsuspecting guest? A dagger cuts through flesh. An opening of the chest. Memories repressed. The future egest.  Wolves divest.  Humans put to the test. Vampires assessed.  Witches distressed. Fae compressed.  But, at whose behest? 

Happy Two Year Anniversary, Lunar Covians! We can’t wait for you to see what is to come. Also, while you all play an OOC guessing game, were you able to figure out what each line of Year One's prophecy was referring to?

FRIDAY THE 13TH - WINTER WONDERLAND PLOT DROP

It’s that time of year again and, as wise tales go, Friday the 13th is one of the few days a year known for being unlucky. But, what those outside of the Cove don’t know, is the reason as to why.  Friday the 13th just so happens to be a day when Pixies can not only temporarily give their luck to another through touch, but can take it. Throughout the day, regardless of the fae’s control over their abilities, if a pixie touches another, albeit it accidentally or intentionally, they will steal that individual’s luck. The pixie in question will be even more lucky than before, while the person they came into contact with will have horribly unlucky things begin to happen to them one after the other. Their electronics might short circuit, their beverages will spill over, their food will be spoiled etc. But, don’t worry. After 24 hours, their luck will be returned to them. Though an unlucky day isn’t the only thing in store for the Lunar Covians.

REMINDERS

We know the event IC starts on 12/23, but we also know that by time skipping, we are missing a Friday the 13th for our dear pixies, so in order to honor Friday the 13th, throughout the event (up until New Years Eve), all PIXIES can take give and take luck if you so choose.

What does this mean? If you want your pixie to steal luck in a thread and have plotted it with the player, you can. If your want your pixie to enjoy ice skating and not be afraid to touch someone, they can and you can just pretend the day of bad luck happened for them on another day. We're letting ya'll use your best judgements and have fun with some time soup if you'd like to.

If you are strictly a timeline player and don't want to do anything Friday the 13th related for the event, since the threads technically start on 12/23 IC, that's fine too. It's really up to you. We're just offering for pixies to still be able to take luck if they want to given that Friday the 13th doesn't come around as often as you might think.

Oops, I did it again I played with your heart, got lost in the game Oh baby, baby

FRIDAY THE 13TH - PLOT DROP

tw amnesia, kidnapping, missing organ, organ harvesting

It's that time of year again and, as wise tales go, Friday the 13th is one of the few days a year known for being unlucky. But, what those outside of the Cove don’t know, is the reason as to why.  Friday the 13th just so happens to be a day when Pixies can not only temporarily give their luck to another through touch, but can take it. Throughout the day, regardless of the fae’s control over their abilities, if a pixie touches another, albeit it accidentally or intentionally, they will steal that individual’s luck. The pixie in question will be even more lucky than before, while the person they came into contact with will have horribly unlucky things begin to happen to them one after the other. Their electronics might short circuit, their beverages will spill over, their food will be spoiled etc. But, don’t worry. After 24 hours, their luck will be returned to them. Though an unlucky day isn't the only thing in store for the Lunar Covians.

Something wicked seems to be brewing in the air. Both Billie Fitz (@swimmingwiththefitzes) and Poppy Reed ( @moonglowmagic), woke up this morning in cold sweets having terrible nightmares the night before. They can barely keep their eyes open, haunted by an unsettling feeling festering in their chest as if they can't shake this ominous feeling of being drawn to something, but they can't quite put their finger as to why. Low and beyond, the nightmares have no end in day in sight, these two better get used to some restless nights.

Meanwhile, across town, there is someone else who seems to have had quite the night. One Todd Miller ( @xthetoddinatorx ) awakes in the middle of a field in Echo Acres. His head still feels foggy as though he had spent the previous night out partying, only he doesn't seems to have any memories of the past 48 hours. He is seen stumbling through town, muttering something about an 'alien abduction' and how he woke up in a crop circle with a suspicious looking glint of excitement in his eyes. Only that glint will quickly dwindle when he finally makes his way home to change to find fresh stitches across the lower right side of your abdomen right where his appendix should be...

What happened the night of the 12th? And what more is in store for the Cove with Friday the 13th?

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Plot drop alert! We couldn't let this day go bye without dropping anything, so we hope this plot drop acts as an intriguing tease as what is to come/will be revealed (in part) at our fall event later on.

The plot drop is completely optional for you to react to IC, so if you’d like your character to react to the above, you are more than welcome to, but please don’t feel obligated to.

Also, if you would like to volunteer your characters to be part of the chaos event posts (as some characters were mentioned above) and haven't yet, please reach out via a ticket or the main.

Last, but not least, we hope you have fun!

Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads

FULL MOON REMINDER & THE COUNCIL'S VERDICT

Reminder Lunar Covians! There is a full moon tonight so you are all advised to keep inside. As a reminder, the full moon affects werewolves and sirens. Werewolves are told to remain in Echo Acres with everyone else being advised to keep out of the woods tonight if you are not a wolf. For Sirens, the salt water pools specifically at the Fae Court are for you (the regular pools are still open to residents on the other side of the Emerald Hotel far away from the sirens). You can swim there to your heart's content without the worry of luring any nearby people into the water (though some Sirens still decide to rebel and swim out in the Cove, singing their song for all to hear). This will also be Elena Gomez-Alvaro's first full moon to shift as a newly turned wolf. This full moon is also a Strawberry Moon which tells that it is time to harvest ripe strawberries and is known for its low position in the sky, giving it a warm, golden hue. The Strawberry Moon invites people to reflect on where they've come in their life and begin to plan where they will go, which is timely, given that just after the full moon was a Council meeting to reflect upon the death of Mason Mahir.

The Council meeting this time around was rough to say the least, spanning over the course of two days with much deliberation and back and forth. That being said the information from the meeting that was revealed to the public is as follows-

The Accords have been updated! Please read over the updated accords on the bestiary here.

A trial was held to determine Elena's fate, though before the trial there was much debate over what organization you should try an untriggered werewolf as after they have immediately triggered their curse. Should they be tried as a member of the Coalition, a member of the Pack or as unaffiliated? It was decided that while untriggered werewolves can join the Coalition when they have yet to trigger their curse, after triggering their curse/changing species, they will have up until the full moon to decide whether or not to join the Pack. Their trial will be postponed until then. If they have not joined the Pack after the first full moon, they will be tried as unaffiliated.

Elena was then found guilty at the end of the deliberation for breaking accord #1. She received the following sentence-

Suspension of her license for up to 10 years, which may be shortened to five if she completes remedial driving courses and has no further infractions.

5 to 8 hours of Community Service a week, for the next year. Totaling approximately 260 to 416 hours, not enough to interfere with her livelihood but enough that it will be a solid commitment. These hours will require a sign-off from whoever she's doing them for, and will cover a variety of community activities—from helping with media and music classes at the high school, to assisting with local businesses and events, picking up trash & generally helping with repairs (that we always seem to need.) The point is to help the community she is now a part of, in a way that she can contribute to for years to come, and honors Mason's involvement with the community.

A financial penalty of 5000-10000 dollars, to be paid in monthly installments determined by her financial status. One half of which will be given to the Coven, and the other half to be donated to the Town, who may then choose to put it towards a charity or community development. She may take an interest-free loan from the Pack if she chooses, to help facilitate payment.

Elena will only be allowed to leave the town with permission of the Council, if it's deemed absolutely necessary, for the next 5 years, at which point her punishment will be re-evaluated, to ensure that we still believe they are fair and equitable.

She must undergo training with the Alpha and the Pack to ensure that she develops proper control of her abilities, and will not be a danger to civilians from her new abilities. The Alpha will be the one to determine when she's met those conditions, and until then is subject to only shifting within the bounds of Echo Acres. Any violation of this will result in a more serious restriction going forward, including increased monitoring and potential confinement, which the Alpha and the Pack will be responsible for ensuring and upholding. A representative from the Coven may check in at any time they wish, to make sure the set guidelines are being followed, as long as doing so doesn't overly invade on her privacy.

If Elena intentionally causes any harm to any member of the Coven or other citizen, or violates any other Accord from this point forward, the punishment will be severe (potentially Abjuration).

Elena will need to make a public PSA aimed at both drivers and pedestrians, reminding all to be mindful of their surroundings as a pedestrian and behind the wheel. It will be aired on the local news and played on the radio waves during Mason’s usual show time.

The Council also decided to reduce Rohan Persaud sentence due to good behavior, permitting him, should he ever turn/lose his magic, to join the other organizations. Rohan is still banned from the Coven however and if Rohan ever gives the Council a reason to, his sentence could go back into effect/future actions could be taken.

In terms of Mason's missing organ, the Council will be working with the Sheriff's department together. The Deputy Sheriff and the soon-to-be future Sheriff will attend council meetings on occasion for briefings. They are checking in with the local hospitals and morgues around Lunar Cove to see if any surgeries have been conduction with someone who fits Mason's description.

The council has also decided to hire Solstice Therapy to conduct a town-wide trust building event which will be our next event that kicks off in July being the "Campfire Retreat"!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The plot drop is completely optional for you to react to IC, so if you’d like your character to react to the above, you are more than welcome to, but please don’t feel obligated to.

After some deliberation, we have decided to update the WC for the town sheriff to be for the Deputy Sheriff which you can fine here. While we wait for the WC to be filled, we will have an NPC town Sheriff who is newly instated by the name of Adonis Ridgeport (age 41, they/them pronouns). Adonis used to the Deputy Sheriff of the Sheriff department back in the day, but retired a few years back before Lorelai Cavanaugh was instated. Adonis never worked with Lorelai Cavanaugh and, for that reason, was offered the position. They are well aware that some people in town will be wary of them stepping into this position, but they are up for the challenge and feel a strong obligation to turn the Sheriff's department around.

There is now a tip line at the Sheriff's department that is managed by the Deputy Sheriff, though it has been receiving a number of prank calls. If you'd like to submit a prank call, please submit the below form to the Lunarcoveinspo blog here-

My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing You cut me open and I Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love

BLEEDING LOVE - PLOT DROP

TW: Death, Injury, Violence, Blood, Missing/Harvested Organs, Mourning, Abduction

The time of death was 12:23a. The paramedics showed up to the scene shortly before hand. They managed to get Mason Mahir into the ambulance. Rangi Hira still holding on their hand from the back of the vehicle, while Song Seo-Joon road in the front. A scared and crying Elena Gomez-Alvaro was escorted to the side to recount what happened to the authorities (or at least what was left of them without an acting Sheriff in town). But, on the drive to the hospital, Mason didn't make it. Their body was brought down to the hospital morgue and their family called. But, upon further inspection, it quickly became realized that Mason Mahir's cause of death was not entirely due to the accident.

Mason had a punctured and newly stitched up wound along their abdomen. The wound was new and had to have occurred over the past 48 hours. The stitching was, peculiarly perfect, as if it had been done by a professional, but there was no records of Mason having underwent a surgery recently, let alone over the past day or so. Yet, their gallbladder was missing and they had been suffering from internal bleeding before the time of impact. The crash merely spend up the inevitable and, thanks to a ragtag gang of murder mystery podcasters, the Deputy was able to determine that no one could place Mason's whereabouts from the past 48 hours. It is as if they up and disappeared. As of now, the deputy is leading the investigation until a new sheriff can be appointed (WC for the Sheriff position can be found here).

In the meantime, the Mahir's will be holding a funeral for Mason. The antyesti, the funeral rites, is informed by the idea that the body and soul are distinct entities. The general belief is that when a person passes away, their body dies while their soul goes on, though funeral customs differ among different sects, castes and groups. The Mahirs have chosen less traditionally strict funeral, tailoring the ceremonies to Mason specifically and their family whom have lived in the Western world for a long time. Rather than the traditional three parts, they have opted out of having the first part of a Hindu funeral take place at home. Traditionally (and dependent on sect), no embalming is necessary and the first part of a Hindu funeral will take place within 24 hours at home where members of the family will wash their loved one's body with a combination of yogurt, milk, ghee, and honey etc. But, given that Mason was sent to the hospital and the body was held for some time at the mortuary, they've had a light embalming process. They then had a cremation ceremony for Mason, known as the "mukhagni", which was done within 24 hours of Mason's time of death, just before sunset, so that their soul could be set free with minimal delay. The cremation ceremony was reserved for Mason's family and specific friends of the family who attended in white and were modestly dressed (this portion of the funeral is not open to the public so please don't have your character attending if Pace has not granted your character permission to do so). There will be a mourning period happening for 12 days after with immediate family and friends of the family as well (similar to the cremation ceremony, please don't have your characters attend without permission).

The 13th day will be the final prayer which will be open to the public where other friends of Mason's are welcome to attend. It is preferred for individuals who attend this ceremony to wear white as well. No gifts or flowers should be brought to the funeral, although flowers may be sent or brought ahead of time or after. Food is also not recommended as it is typically prepared by different members of the immediate family, though if you would like your character to bring food, the Mahirs will accept it if it is brought after the final prayer.

REMINDERS

Please unfollow Mason Mahir above. Outside of unfollowing Mason, the plot drop is completely optional for you to react to IC, so if you’d like your character to react to the above, you are more than welcome to, but please don’t feel obligated to.

While, Mason is no longer here, the character is still Pace’s, so please plot with Pace still if you decide to have your character attend the funeral/say goodbye.

For everyone: While we are going to be taking a break from plot drops for a while, we will be having a full moon next week on June 21st which will be the first full moon for one untriggered werewolf, so please keep an eye out for that post to come.

For the council: It is time. We know you've been anticipating the Council meeting, so now is your chance to HC things in the Council GC for a follow up post that will be made in terms of the Council's deliberations. The Council meeting will be held after the 13 days of mourning.

WC Alert: We have a new WC pertaining to this plot drop being our new Sheriff spot! If you would like to fill the role, please message the main to plot out the connection (though as a heads up given that law enforcement can be a sensitive subject, we are going to be selective in terms of this role in particular as we do want to make sure it is being played properly). We also though have a WC already open on our main for the ragtag podcasters here.

Last, but not least, we typically say have fun with these things, but instead we'll just leave it at goodbye Mason <3 You will be missed.

THE REED TWINS BIRTHDAY BASH - PLOT DROP

What was originally intended to be a small dinner has turned into a blown out birthday bash for the Reed twins! Earlier in the week, one Poppy Reed was telling fellow witch, Jamie Bennett, how she didn't feel like celebrating her birthday this year. But, when Jamie insisted that she had to do something and suggested that she could come over to dinner at his place and invite a small group of family and some friends, the party quickly got out of hand. The quaint dinner has become an all out pool party rager with far from enough food to feed everyone. So, swing by the Bennett's house for a house party! There will be pool floaties on site, some boxed wine, jello shots and some potions, but you may want to BYOB since there is definitely not enough of that either.

What?: Linden and Poppy's 35th Birthday Bash

Who?: Poor Jamie Bennett has ended up hosting a far larger party than he had been expecting

Where?: The Bennett House

When?: June 6th, 7p

Guests?: Poppy & Linden's Family & Friends and All Witches & their plus ones (+ any party crashers)

To Bring?: BYOB (Seriously there will not be enough), any gifts for the Birthday Twins, swimwear, towels + a good attitude

REMINDERS

Please enjoy this fun activity of the week that was submitted by your fellow members! If you would like your character to host a party or an event in the future please see our events request form here. We will try to incorporate your events as best we can (though please keep in mind if you submit an event request the same week as an actual event, if we can't incorporate it into the event itself, we may ask you to hold off until the main event is over).

The above should be treated the same as any of the activities of the week. It is completely optional and your character does not have to attend. It is just a fun weekly activity happening IC that your charries can write starters about or react to if they so choose.

Last but not least, we hope you have fun!

[lunarcovehq]

Hey everyone we wanted to say Happy One Year Anniversary! We thank you all for spending this last year with us. This has been one hell of a year and we look forward to many more with all of you! Seriously we love you all so much and we hope you know it. We’d be nothing without you all and you are so special to us. Seriously, we are so happy we are celebrating this milestone and look forward to more with you all.

In honor of our One Year Anniversary, we have also decided to leave you with a fun, foreboding plot drop as to what is to come. Enjoy and we can’t wait to hear all of your theories as to what you think the below prophecy could mean.

With the start of the Summer and the ominous warning from the Catalyst still looming over Lunar Cove’s head, the Banshees who work at Good Omens gathered at the Fae Court in an attempt to help. They combined their magic in an attempt to look into the future for the whole town only to wind up with a foreboding prophecy instead. The below is what they have predicted to come true, but only time will tell as to what each line means:

Ten of your weaknesses will be used against you,  Nine of you will lose your heart, Eight of you will be left to pick a side,  Seven will walk between a nightmare and reality,  Six of you will gain the upper hand,  Five heads will never be the same,  Four will be confronted by a figment of their past, Three lives will be lost,  Two will face an impossible choice,  And  One will wreck havoc on this town, before Lunar Cove as you know it will either survive or fall...

Happy One Year Anniversary, Lunar Covians! We can’t wait for you to see what is to come.

BREAKING NEWS - INCOMING PLOT DROP #2

It appears the robbery at the Poison Room last week was not an isolated instance. The HQ Burglar has struck again. This time targeting the Wolf Den. In between the hours of 11p to Midnight last night (the same time frame as the previous Break in), the Burglar entered the werewolf headquarters. They were carrying a portable radio with them and a drawstring branded Siren Sounds backpack. The culprit stole an official pack member log that detailed out all of the wolves information by name and address dating back fifty years. They knocked over chairs, tossed documents around, tore up a number of Pack Pamphlets that had been used as coasters at the time and smashed a number of paperweights, as well as knocking a lamp over. They were interrupted a few minutes in by Nicolás Castillo Alders, the same witness to their previous Break In, and similar to the last time, the masked figure was able to flee the scene of the crime before Nico could catch them. Although the Alpha did manage to grab a hold of their backpack, the straps tearing clean off the culprit’s back allowing them the opportunity to slip away with the documents in hand. 

Sheriff Cavanaugh made it to the scene not shortly after where authorities worked with Nico to determine what had been taken and examined the evidence left behind. Inside the Burglar’s backpack itself, was a portable radio that was tuned into one, Wilhelmina Fitz’s, radio show. There was also a slip of paper with an email address for the pseudonym “Das Kind” on it and the password flowersforbex1967. This pseudonym, Authorities have been able to trace back to an ‘anonymous caller’ of the Siren Sounds Radio show. When asked about said caller, producer, Lisa Cramer, who works on Billie’s show with her, had the following to say, “I remember ‘Das Kind’. They reached out to us over email which isn’t all too out of the ordinary when you work in Radio. They went on and on about how much they loved Billie’s late night show, with its ‘array of classical selections’. You know how fans can be. They requested that she add Beethoven’s 45-minute ‘Hammerklavier’ to the playlist. The request was, in hindsight, a little strange? It was rather detailed... They wanted it to be played at precisely 11:10pm. ‘No later than 11:10′. They repeated it multiple times and had this whole sob story to go along with the request, about how the song was ‘in memory of a long lost love’? But, our listeners eat that kind of sh&* up, so I relayed the request onto Billie before I headed out for the night and, from what I heard, she ended up playing it just as requested at precisely 11:10pm.” 

Beethoven’s 45-minute ‘Hammerklavier’ was the exact song that was reported to be still playing out of the portable radio the HQ Burglar left at the scene of the crime and Sheriff Cavanaugh has reason to believe that the Burglar was using the song to keep track of the time while breaking into the Den given that the backpack also contained a detailed map to the Den (a location that only pack members should be aware of) from Siren Sounds station. The map had markings drawn along the river with timed notes regarding the Sonata’s four movements. The backpack was even lined with a trash bag as if in an attempt to keep the contents inside dry while swimming.

Perhaps the right supernatural could have swam from Sunny Harbor to Echo Acres, sacked the Den and made it back to the station before the song even ended. It would be a perfect alibi for a radio host supposedly "in the booth" during that time frame. This is only speculation, but given that ‘Das Kind’ is german for ‘the Kid’ as in ‘Billy the Kid’ and Sheriff Cavanaugh brought Billie Fitz in for questioning today, it is only safe to assume that the authorities are operating under a similar assumption. 

Billie Fitz will be held for questioning for two days before being convicted. On Friday the 16th, Billie will be able to be released on bail and, unless the charges are dropped, there is a pending Coalition Trial to be held the following week.

REMINDERS

This is our second plot drop in the series of plot drops we will be having this month!

For Pack Members- The Wolf Den is temporarily closed. You will have been alerted of the break in and, starting today, you will have been put on town watch. Although, authorities believe the culprit is now in custody, there is no telling as to whether or not Billie was working alone. So, you have been instructed to guard the Clan HQ & the Coalition HQ to keep an eye out for any future attacks.

For Coven Members- The Witch HQ and Poison Room are still closed, being roped off as part of the crime scene. It looks like you will have to find a different location/meeting point to brew any potions for the foreseeable future and, without the Poison Room, finding ingredients will become far more tedious.

For the Fae Court- A fae has been taken into custody and, although Billie was not a member of the Fae Court, Authorities have chosen to station look outs at the other HQs to prevent any future break ins, but not yours given that the culprit was a fae themselves.

For the Human Coalition- Given that Billie is a lesser fae, the Human Coalition has been tasked with putting together a list of questions for the Authorities to ask Billie while in custody. You have also been all alerted to keep your calendars free for the next few weeks in case authorities rule that this case will be taken to trial.

For the Council- Although Billie Fitz being taken in for questioning for the Break Ins falls under Human Coalition jurisdiction, given that it was the Council Headquarters that were the targets, you have also been gathered to personally question Billie as to why she’s been targeting the Council HQ locations specifically. You have also been tasked to hold a meeting to decide what to do moving forwards in terms of headquarters security etc. Nico, documents from your HQ have been stolen, so this is also an opportunity for you to figure out where they are now.

For Billie Fitz- You are being wrongfully framed for the past two Break Ins and have now been taken into custody. You are allowed visitors as well as phone calls while you are in holding, but all communication with outside parties will be monitored. It’s time to lawyer up and get someone to hopefully bail you out when your release date is set.

These plot drops are not mandatory, so if you’d prefer to not react to the above, you don’t have to. But, we do strongly encourage you to write open or private starters if you so choose. Even if your character doesn’t fit into any of the categories above, there are still break ins occurring around town that your character could be worried about/affected by or are wanting to prove Billie’s innocence etc.

The tag for these plot drops are lunarcoveplotdrop2. If you do react to any of the above, we ask you please tag everything under this tag.

We will be continuing to incorporate our volunteers into posts like these throughout the upcoming weeks.

Last, but not least, we hope you have fun!

Breaking News, Lunar Covians, and hot off the presses- there was an attempted robbery of the Poison Room last night. Authorities have yet to locate the culprit, but thanks to eye witness and Alpha, Nicolás Castillo Alders, they have been able to place the time of the robbery between 11pm to Midnight. Nico had been taking a nightly stroll when he heard the sound of an alarm. He rushed to the shop where he was able to use his enhanced vision to make out a masked figure fleeing the scene of the crime. Only the culprit escaped before he could catch them. Nico headed back to the Poison Room where he ran into the local Sheriff, Lorelai Cavanaugh, and deputy. The three surveyed the building to discover that the Poison Room likely wasn’t the culprit’s target, but that of the Coven Headquarters. The door to the Coven Headquarters had been tampered with and the silent alarm in the store had been tripped. Nothing from the Poison Room itself was taken. But, when the culprit was fleeing the scene, they knocked into one of the store shelves, sending it crashing over with all of the potions the shelf contained having been shattered. The Poison Room and the Coven Headquarters are now closed for the week until the damage can be cleaned up and the Coven HQ’s security measures are reinforced. 

What was not released to the public was how, when surveying the scene, Nico​ discovered the only clue and the lead Sheriff Cavanaugh currently has to attempt to locate whoever is responsible for the attack: a faded coca cola bottle cap. Nico found the bottle cap on the ground beside the knocked over shelf. The cap dates back to 1967 and features a now illegible faded picture of a baseball player on the underside, from an MLB All-Stars promotion that had been running at the time, and curiously enough, the same bottles are on display at Peggy’s Diner and have been used as props during a number of the Pendulum Playhouse performances. 

@nicocastillo, it is up to you as to who you reveal this clue to. You have the choice to have handed it over to the authorities when you initially found it or to have held onto it. You can alert the Council or the pack or both. You can tell whoever you’d like of the findings or you can keep it to yourself. Is it better to have people know so that they can be on the look out or keep this information on a need to know basis as to not alert the culprit that you’re on to them? The choice is yours.

REMINDERS

Given that we have over a month until our next event, we decided that it would be fun to try out a new style of plot drops that aren’t connected to a specific event. 

These plot drops are not mandatory, so if you’d prefer to not react to the above, you don’t have to. But, we do strongly encourage you to write open or private starters if you so choose.

The tag for these plot drops are lunarcoveplotdrop1. If you do react to any of the above, we ask you please tag everything under this tag.

This will also be the first of many plot drops like this throughout the month, so keep an eye out for them. We will be incorporating our volunteers into posts like these throughout the upcoming weeks.

Last, but not least, we hope you have fun!

BREAKING NEWS - INCOMING PLOT DROP #5

The verdict is in! Billie Fitz's fate has been decided from the Human Coalition. She has been declared guilty of the crimes of vandalism and her punishment is as follows: Billie will need to clean up the vandalism and, unlike with Anna and Rangi, will need to pay for the damages of what she broke and or stole. She will also, for the next month, be on house arrest and have community service at the Rec Center (as opposed to Anna and Rangi's five days), starting during the town Renaissance Faire. During the Ren Faire, Billie will be stationed at the photo booth where she must be in her siren form (human/fish hybrid form) for the duration of the weekend. She must also remain on land in this siren form at all times throughout the event. This way she will be able to be easily monitored amongst the crowds, having her own private security during the event, while she performs her community duties of taking photos with Ren Faire goers. Now that the matters of the town break ins are truly behind us, Town Hall has released a statement urging all town goers to look to the future. The Town Renaissance Faire will go on as planned, kicking off the festivities with Fourth of July fireworks on opening day. We look forward to seeing you all there!

REMINDERS

This is our fifth and final plot drop in the series of plot drops we have had this month!

As you OOC know, Billie, Rangi & Anna have all been framed. Although the case has been declared closed, the clan advisor, Kadir Aksoy @moonsongchorus, can't seem to shake that something feels off about the verdicts. Kadir, please keep a lookout for further instructions through the main on how you will catch the true culprit. In the meantime, you can talk to Nico who has a hunch that something is off (for our members- some of you may remember, but Alex & Penn were both winners of our fun OOC predictions survey we conducted during a previous event. As a prize for winning, both Alex & Penn chose for their characters, Nico & Kadir, to be involved in major plot drops. We hope you both enjoy your inclusion in the overall plot and we plan on continuing to have these event prediction surveys in the future where other members have the chance to win fun prizes such as this).

These plot drops are not mandatory, so if you’d prefer to not react to the above, you don’t have to. But, we do strongly encourage you to write open or private starters if you so choose.

The tag for this plot drop is lunarcoveplotdrop5. If you do react to any of the above, we ask you please tag everything under this tag.

If you volunteered for these plot drops and were not selected, we promise your characters will be incorporated into the upcoming plot drops for the event instead.

Our Renaissance Faire event will start on July 7th OOC while spanning over July 4th weekend IC.

Last, but not least, we hope you have fun and we hope you're all looking forward to what we have planned for our upcoming event!

BREAKING NEWS - INCOMING PLOT DROP #3

Billie Fitz didn’t act alone. Despite the Pack standing guard over both the Coalition and Clan Headquarters, two thieves managed to break in, attacking the remaining HQs, outside of that of the Fae Court, last night. Both break ins occurred, once again, between 11p and midnight. But, unlike the previous attacks, these break ins were the acts of petty vandalism. With the insurmountable evidence that was left behind, authorities have been able to declare this case closed, being the works of a group of disgruntled fae who seemed to be unhappy with the Council, outside of their own respective leader that is. Sheriff Cavanaugh refused to comment, but given that both Irirangi Hira and Anna Donnelly were taken into custody today, it seems safe to assume that they were in cahoots with Billie, each targeting their own specie’s locations to vandalize as a show of disgruntled resentment against the current leadership. 

The evidence is as follows...

At a quarter past 11, pack member, Mateo Rivera  ( @moonsongchorus​ ), had been making his rounds around the lawn of the Country Club where he had been keeping an eye on the Clan Headquarters, when he spotted a mask figure fleeing the scene of the crime. The mask was reported to distinctly resemble a full-face respirator. The heavy gas mask had a tinted glass plate, obscuring the upper-half of the individual’s face and vastly differing in appearance from the ski mask that Billie had been supposedly wearing. But, the culprit seemed to make no attempt to conceal their hair. The long brown locks were noted to have been spilling out from beneath the black hoodie they were wearing. Authorities were called shortly after to the scene of the crime where they, and the newly turned wolf, Mateo, found themselves starring face to face at the word ‘Spineless’ that had been spray painted onto the wall. Four surgical gloves with their middle fingers sticking up in a crude gesture had also been secured to the wall of the Country Club using a staple gun. Abandoned on the ground beside the vandalism was an aerosol can of Restor-skin Spray, revealing the word was not made with paint, but rather a spray-on mortuary cosmetic meant to obscure skin imperfections. Upon further examination, the authorities were also able to pin the mask the culprit was wearing to that of an embalmer’s mask that one would wear to protect themselves against fumes while preparing a body. Left behind at the scene of the crime was a small black notebook with a mortuary supply delivery invoice tucked inside the cover. This invoice, signed in Rangi’s name, was shown to be tampered with. White-out and a ballpoint pen had been used to manually change the number of received respirators from 5 to 4 as if to account for one of the respirators that had gone missing. This evidence not only confirmed where the mask the culprit was wearing had come from, but tied Rangi to the crime. Last, but not least, there was a typed note with double-spaces after each period left behind. The note said: We will not be sacrificed by a council of COWARDS.  They are spineless.  No more. Upon examination, the town’s forensic specialist noted that the culprit perhaps first learned to type on a typewriter and not a computer, but that theory was quickly thrown out beneath the insurmountable evidence pointing towards Rangi. The mortician was arrested for the vandalism the following day.

Meanwhile, at the exact same time across town, pack member, Frankie Esposito ( @lunadefresa ),  caught the sight of a figure donning a masquerade mask leaving Town Hall. Frankie chased after them only to loose them the moment they dipped behind the Town Gazebo. The mask was identified as a prop that Anna Donnelly had been rehearsing in from the Pendulum’s upcoming performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. When Frankie doubled back to the Coalition Headquarters, located in the basement of town hall, she found herself stumbling upon a now destroyed space. Papers were thrown around, the list of question the Coalition had drafted to ask Billie were torn to shreds and it appeared as though the culprit had went at the sofa and all of the surrounding upholstery with a knife. The words ‘Bea won’t, but I will’ were carved across the back of the couch. Could this potentially be alluding to how, as far as rumors go, Anna feels as though she could do a better job as the Fae Queen than Bea?

When authorities appeared at the scene of the crime, they were able to locate the discarded knife used to in-act the petty vandalism. The knife had a gold hilt with a shinning metal blade that seemed similar to, if not identical, to the knives Anna has often been spotted having on her possession. They also found Anna’s On Pitch lanyard that the Culprit appeared to have dropped and a torn corner of a flyer that had musical notes and some of the letters of On Pitch remaining, being enough evidence to bring Anna in as well.

So, what does this mean for the Lunar Covians?

Currently, Anna and Rangi are being held in custody and, given that they are both Fae Court members, the Council is meeting to determine the two fae’s fates with their charges and Billie’s being declared that of petty vandalism. Billie’s bail has now be posted and she will spend the next day awaiting the verdict of the Coaltion’s decision for the consequences of her actions, where she will likely, as a non Fae Court member, be dealt a far worse fate than the other two culprits.

REMINDERS

This is our third plot drop in the series of plot drops we will be having this month! The last two plot drops before the event will take place in the next few days, so please keep on the lookout for that.

For Pack, Coven, Clan & Coalition Members- You organization headquarters have now been reopened and your leaders are calling for volunteers to help clean up their respective hangout spaces.

For the Fae Court- With the town and the Sheriff’s department feeling as though they made the right call choosing not to station guards outside of the Fae Court, and with two of your members now in custody, how will you respond?

For the Human Coalition- Billie is going to trial. All members of the Human Coalition have been sequestered for the next few days in preparation to decide Billie’s fate (more instructions on this will be given in the next plot drop to come tomorrow). In the meantime, you will be able to have outside communication, but any conversations with visitors or phone calls you may have will be monitored to guarantee that the case at hand is not being discussed with outside parties members outside of the Coalition.

For the Council- The Council has been gathered once more to determine the fates of Rangi and Anna given that this falls under Council jurisdiction. 

For Billie Fitz- You have now been released on house arrest. You have been advised by your lawyers to go home and not make any statements on the matter at hand until the verdict from the Coalition has been made.

For Anna Donnelly & Rangi Hira- The two of you have also been wrongfully framed for the Break Ins and have now been taken into custody. You are allowed visitors as well as phone calls while you are in holding, but all communication with outside parties outside of the Fae Court will be monitored. Luckily, for you, though, as members of the Fae Court, any communication with other Fae Court members will not be monitored. Your Fae Queen, Bea Ramos, will act as your representative and the Council will decide your fate in the next day, so you will only be in custody for 24 hours.

These plot drops are not mandatory, so if you’d prefer to not react to the above, you don’t have to. But, we do strongly encourage you to write open or private starters if you so choose. Even if your character doesn’t fit into any of the categories above, there are still plenty for your character to react to/be affected by.

The tag for this plot drop is lunarcoveplotdrop3. If you do react to any of the above, we ask you please tag everything under this tag.

We will be continuing to incorporate our volunteers into posts like these throughout the upcoming weeks.

Last, but not least, we hope you have fun!

BREAKING NEWS - INCOMING PLOT DROP #4

The Council's decision is in. For those of you who haven't been keeping up with the local news, over the past few weeks, every Supernatural Headquarters outside of the Fae Court have been broken into and vandalized. Today, Sheriff Cavanaugh finally released a statement declaring the case of the HQ Break Ins closed. The Culprits were a group of disgruntled fae, being made up by Wilhelmina Fitz, Anna Donnelly and Irirangi Hira. With the culprits caught, the Council met to deliberate. The Council has decided that, given the Break Ins were the acts of petty vandalism and no one was hurt, they would let Anna Donnelly and Irirangi Hira, the two fae court members, off with community service. Anna and Rangi will be responsible for cleaning up their respected vandalism and be on clean duty during the upcoming event, spanning the duration of five days of community service each in total. They have now been released and are allowed to return home. This also means that, with the case now closed, the Council has decided to go forwards with the town Renaissance Faire as planned. Anna and Rangi will be expected to don in-theme attire as they pick up after the rest of the town goers at the Ren Faire as punishment. Billie Fitz's fate, on the other hand, rests with the Human Coalition. With the Council letting both Anna and Rangi off the hook with community service, they recommend the same fate for Billie. But, it is up to you to decide. The Human Coalition can chose to give Billie the same fate as the other fae or a more severe fate up to their own making, but they are not allowed to give her a punishment less severe than the punishment given to Anna and Rangi. What punishment will you choose for Billie?

Fresh off the presses- the late husband of the current Clan Leader has been found! After days with different search parties scanning the surrounding wood outside of the border, a more timid group of witches wandered upon Theodore Moore stumbling out of an abandoned shed and, yet, there were no signs of hunters in the surrounding area. It appears as if the hunters were tipped off that the search parties were coming and fled the scene before any Lunar Covian could stumble upon them. After examining the shed, it was determined that suspicions had been correct- Moore had been restrained and tortured for months just outside of Lunar Cove before anyone could find him. Now, Moore has been safety brought back over the border where he is recuperating until further questioning. 

Keep an eye out for future additions of the Lunar Cove Times for news on the latest happenings around the Cove. Next week’s edition will be Valentine’s Day themed and will be reporting on all of the drama that is sure to come.

UPDATES

As some of you may have already noticed, we have a new main theme! We figured what better way to kick off our Valentine’s Day event than to switch the main over to Spring (We know its not actually Spring yet, but one can dream).

We also wanted to officially announce that our Valentine’s Day event will begin on Friday! This will be a plot driven event with a lot of twists and turns that you may want to keep a look out for. We also will be having a discord chatzy style event on February 10th in case you want to mark the date off on your calendar so that you don’t miss it.

We can’t wait for you to see what all we have in store and a new theme and a plot drop is only the beginning!
