HE  STANDS  BEFORE  THE  FLAMES  of  the  bonfire  ,  his  gaze  narrowed  against  his  cigarette  before  it  trails  down  the  length  of  it  in  the  direction  of  the  caito  mansion  .  from  the  hill  ,  he  could  just  see  the  top  of  it’s  architecture  ,  the  other  direction  ,  the  estate  .  he  leans  back  away  from  the  heat  and  takes  another  drag  ,  adding  his  own  smoke  to  the  flames  ❛    they  say  fire  always  brings  change  ,  regrowth  .  i  wonder  if  it  will  stick  this  time  .    ❜

“ and who exactly is the witness? ” melanie stands on the outskirts of the wooded area surrounding the hill; grass flattened in a singular line where boots have paced through the duration of her phone call. not far can the sounds of festivities be heard but the call was too important to send to voicemail and so hot toddy’s will have to wait. “ typical. tell them ––– ” words are cut off by a sharp snap ( a branch cracking under a shoe? ). “ i’ll call you back. ” the call ends with a tap of her screen and the blonde turns to peek over her shoulder. “ hello? ”

❝ y’know, i haven’t seen the shower in twenty years. ❞ leonardo rambled, already a little bit drunk to the person who had the misfortune to standing next to him; the man is sitting on an uncomfortable beach chair, cold and bundled up in many clothing layers as he could, a bottle of cheap vodka on his left hand. ❝ i missed one time, and then the other i wasn’t... well, available or whatever. i was so excited to finally see it again and now i’m fucking miserable---- it’s way too fucking cold to be standing out here in the damn snow, but it’s the most beautiful thing i’ve ever seen. ❞

HE’S STARED AT THE NIGHT SKY SO OFTEN that he’s convinced should he close his eyes , the dotted imprints would be burned on his lids . he has no interest in the activities the other townies have going -- he’s opted to blanket himself in seclusion . he burrows his hands deeper into his parka , ecliptics flitting from star to star , connecting them in invisible lines as he mentally rattled off constellation after constellation , & doesn’t bristle at the feeling of another approach . “ i wonder how long the charade will keep up , ” he remarks , his spoken thought coming out with a hot breath of air , condensing in front of him . he speaks quicker , to gloss over his err in judgement . “ you wouldn’t happen to have a favorite constellation , would you ? ”

                miguel angel had arrived in valdez , not even a month in and there was already some event going on.  he did not trust , he did not want to trust but ---- he had to because alejandra.  alejandra was the only reason he was still in that shit town , but he would not express his to its residents.  he knew a few to be --- well , rather baby like.  easily butt hurt , but still he kept up appearances for his own sake , he really didn’t want to be shot or stabbed like his sister had been.  “ the sky’s nice ---- “ he muttered to the people around him. “ would be a shame if someone were to fuck it up. “ head shook as fingers diligently worked to light his cigarette.

she approached the bonfire with a content sigh, the flames of it being her last attempt of getting herself some warmth as neither her many layers of clothing or the alcohol had helped her with that. her gaze moved to the sky and its stars and crossed her arms “when is this thing suppose to start?” she asked to no one in particular, nia expected the night to end without any trouble from any parties but she was getting restless just waiting around for that ‘magical’ meteor shower. “and why is it so special? aren’t they just rocks in the sky?”

 she’s having flashbacks - back to the night when she realized her father was dead .  now she had to watch the place that made her feel safe  - go up in flames . jane stood there - frozen and scared like a puppy who was lost. now what ? where would she go ?  the blonde was already a lost girl , but now she felt it was truly true .   she heard people calling out to her , but she didn’t listen . all she did was stare at the caito mansion in flames .  ❛ it’s - it’s gone . all the memories ..  ❜  she speaks for the first time as she had finished watching .  she’s blink rapidly .  jason .  she needs to find him .  jane needs to be there with him . she quickly runs around looking for her brother , but instead - collides with somebody . ❛ shit ! i’m - I’m so sorry !   ❜ not really paying attention to who she bumped into , her eyes just wandering around for her brother .

hey guys ! i just wanted to make a quick announcement to let everyone know that our fourth event is officially over. that means we won’t be allowing new threads to be written with the meteor shower as the setting, and we won’t be allowing new posts on the event tags ! of course, our players are welcome to play out the ramifications & consequences of the fire at the caito mansion, or of any personal plots you had during the event. in order for the dash to go back to its usual tempo, and for everyone to be included in your threads we also highly encourage everyone to focus on new open starters in the regular tag and maybe even posting your own instead of posting consecutive closed starters !

HE’S  PROPPED  WELL  ENOUGH  on  a  log  to  maintain  his  balance  ,  knife  out  he  is  shredding  the  bark  from  a  thick  branch  he’d  found  on  one  of  his  walkabouts  ,  tossing  the  remains  into  the  fire  before  him  .  he’s  minding  his  own  ,  attention  split  between  the  work  of  his  knife  and  the  townspeople  surrounding  him  before  finally  ,  he  speaks  partially  to  himself,  somewhat  to  whoever  will  listen  ❛    do  you  think  that  the  dinosaurs  had  the  cognitive  thought  to  gather  around  at  the  sight  of  the  asteroid  that  destroyed  them  ?    kind  of  like  what  we  are  doing  ,  you  know  ,  right  now    ?  ❜

⋆ ◦ ° ☾ event 04. meteor shower.

every ten years, during the winter time, valdez’s skies light up after midnight with an amazing meteor shower. it’s a rite of passage for the most senior citizens of the city, a way of starting off the new year and a beacon of hope that, despite of the ugliness that the gangs bring out in people, the world is still beautiful, and still worth living for. 

this year’s meteor shower is expected to be an even bigger event than the last years; with the attack on the casino and the palpable tension between the savages & the cobras, the local government has been trying hard to reinstate peace in town, and is bringing out their big guns to make sure the show is enjoyable to everyone. assorted booths are being set up, and despite the cold weather, the venue ( a large, empty hill just outside of town ) is looking quite promising. 

the big event doesn’t start until midnight, but the meteor shower isn’t just about the lights in the sky. with a number of delicious food trucks, live music & a bonfire to keep everyone comfortable and toasty during the cold winter night. it’s a celebration of life, of the new year to come, and the government can only hope that both savages and cobras can behave themselves for a couple of hours. 

WHEN: the event starts this FRIDAY, january 25th, and ends TUESDAY, january 29th. WHERE: the hill outside of town.. WHO: everyone in town.
