WHO: Betty Ross
WHERE: Near House 40
WHEN: February 3, Late Evening
OPEN TO: OTA!
WARNINGS: None, but will update as needed.

There hadn't been any reason to worry, in the end.

Nat's back, of course, but as tired as she is, Betty wouldn't exactly blame her if she hadn't noticed that the house had a few more shelves than when she'd left, and that the kitchen cabinet project they'd been working on was entirely complete - as if her roommate had suddenly found herself with some insomnia to deal with.

Now, it's late and the sun has long since sunk beneath the horizon. The moon is barely a sliver in the sky; there will be a new one tomorrow. Betty's sitting on the porch steps - in the spring they should see about reinforcing them, she thinks. Ginger the cat's slipped outside and is rubbing against Betty's ankles. She's a cat person, so she reaches down to give the cat a quick stroke, even though her eyes are still fixed on the sky.

"You haven't smoked since Harvard, Betty," she mutters. "And you don't even have the means to start it up again now."

WHO: Desmond Miles
WHERE: All around the village
WHEN: January 5th, and then any time in January before OMS
OPEN TO: Anyone!
WARNINGS: Probably swears, sadness, angst, the usual

January 5th, right after Lucy's post

Desmond was still angry. He wasn't angry at Lucy, but he was angry at Connor, and also, in general, sometimes his anger had a way of simmering and lasting. Still, when she said that, he instantly refused to accept it. Connor wasn't gone, he might've just run off somewhere. Maybe he knew somehow that Desmond had some shit to talk about with him, or he went scouting, whatever it was, he planned on finding him so they could have a throw down.

On that day, he can be seen all around the north village and then past the boundaries of both villages, wandering aimlessly and clearly pissed off. Occasionally he shouts his ancestor's name, so he's looking for him, but he gets visibly more anxious with time.

The rest of January

Desmond wasn't handling the loss very well, which was insane in his mind considering he wasn't supposed to know the ancestors personally either, so why did he care so much? Well, he did. He cared a whole fucking lot. At one point he decides to take out his fury by cutting wood for an entire day, eventually overworked and sweating, shirtless even in the cold, just whacking away at the wood like that would make it all feel better. He goes to the healing hot springs after frankly hurting himself from doing it too long.

Sometimes he can be seen jumping from roof to roof, climbing buildings, climbing trees, just keeping in shape and practicing the skills he didn't want to lose. He scouts out a lot in the North Village, having some ideas he wanted to float across to Bull later, and also because it's quiet and that makes him feel better.

As the month goes by he starts getting noticeably less moody though and more friendly, going back to lunches at the inn and hanging out at the fountain.

WHERE: Simulation, door between the SV inn and police station
WHEN: Sunset Dec 31 through sunrise Jan 1
OPEN TO: ALL - MINGLE
WARNINGS: Please warn in your subject line as needed and move all adult content to a new post
NOTES: GENERAL PARTY DETAILS: Here & Here | PLANNING POST: Here | NEWBIES: You may arrive at the party, details here.

As the sun dips toward the horizon, another day in the village put to bed, those walking past the tiny piece of woodland between the South Village inn and police station next door may notice something out of place: A door, golden and shimmering, seeming to hover in space and go nowhere. Indeed, a quick step to its other side reveals nothing at all but more forest. Dare to grasp the knob and swing it open, however—

A party, wild and opulent and grand, set in the front halls and gardens of a sprawling Victorian mansion, all cream and black and glittering gold. Tables groaning with festive food and drink, a lively band, and enthusiastic occupants seemingly unaware of the strangeness through which our intrepid villagers have arrived.

Step through, and you shall be transformed: Vigorously healthy, impeccably coiffed, a glittering star in your own right. To exit the way you came will see all of this gone again, and do take care: While news travels fast in the village, if you don't indulge soon, you may miss this extravagant respite — The music, the frivolity, the fireworks at midnight... Or all of it altogether, for it will fade away with the dawn.
