{We may now start, the year is 2013 it is June. The town is Riverside California, a small town just outside Los Angeles but too far to walk.}

{Tess}
I flopped down on the Institute floor next to Peter sighing as I looked down at the silvery scars left by my old marks. It pained me to see them gone, but pained me even more to know I would never have them again.
It had been almost two months since I had been bitten by a rogue Ailuranthrope, a newly discovered Downworlder, and was turned.

{Ender}
I looked up at the walls of the Institute my heart longing to enter the old building again. Only a month had passed since I had died, but being forced out of holy places- despite having no religion- still bummed me out.

magickitten6464 • 24 April 2014 at 10:06 PM

{Emma}
I still remember last night as clear as day. When Eli and I got into that fight with that werewolf, I had prayed that Eli wouldn't get bit. But he did. I know that he will never be the same, but I will never know for sure, as I was born an Ailuranthrope. Oh, Eli..........

{Eli}
I wince at the new bite marks made last night. Hopefully, when the full moon comes out, I will keep my sanity. I'd hate to lose Emma

@magickitten6464 Ping people in your posts. There's a button next to their gender to press, and it's not that hard to put in the at symbol and write their name. Also I'd prefer if you made your posts a little cleaner. This one's a little hard to follow. Also since you classified your character as Werewolf, he'd already know he was one-by having changed before hand- and not just bitten.

I looked up at the sound of a voice outside. I darted to the window ignoring Peter's startled expression as I shoved his chair back. I looked down seeing Ender staring up at the building. She had her phone out and looked like she was crying.
Without another word to Peter I threw open the door leading from the library to the hall. I ran down the hall, my speed faster than a typical Ailuranthrope because of my Shadowhunter origins and slid down the winding staircase handrail. I jumped down at the bottom and opened the door to the main area of the Institute, a garden leading out onto the street. A glamour shielded it from the Mundanes view, they would all flock to it and never leave if they could see its true beauty.
I slipped through the gate and walked over to Ender throwing my arm around her shoulders as she hung up the phone. Tears had stained her face and her eyes all red and puffy.

{Ernest}

Ernest sauntered away from the old abandoned building. Just one more demon gone for now. He wondered where his so-called partner in crime had gotten to. She called to say she couldn't come with him today, but it wasn't a huge concern of his; just a little demon to get rid of. Ernest turned onto the street that the Institute was located on.

Cole was, unlike a lot of the other characters, it seemed, not attempting to converge on the Institution. He had always wondered what it would be like to enter the place, but given the fact that he was a vampire, that seemed unlikely to happen. So he didn't give it much thought, instead lurking in the darkness of an abandoned house and watching the mundanes with little to no interest.
Their lives were so boring.
-
Evelyn scrambled out of the dilapidated building, hissing to herself. She had wanted a nice, quiet place to rest, but apparently, given the overpowering stench of wolf, that was not the place to be napping. Straightening her clothing, she stalked away from the aforementioned building-thing (she wasn't quite sure whether it was a house or a decrepit business).
After she had walked for several minutes, she caught sight of a person. Not a mundane, by their scent, although given her relative newness to Ailuranthrope-hood, she was not well-versed in scents other than werewolf and mundane (and Ailuranthrope, she guessed), so whether the creature was a Shadowhunter or a Downworlder was yet to be divulged.

(Also, I'm pretty sure you gals (gender-neutral) have been pinging cutiecupcake incorrectly...)

@lunallovegood I have, that's what I get for not double checking after I spell. Thanks for telling me. 😊

{Ender}
I tilted my head up, as I caught the footsteps of someone heading down the street. Despite the major lack of light, even this early in the morning, I made out a familiar shape.
I turned away from Tess before stalking away from the Institute, wiping hte tears from my eyes. If anymore Shadowhunters caught a Shadowhunter hanging out with a Downworlder, she'd probably be forced to re-locate.

{Tess}
I sighed as Ender left abruptly. She always seemed to be somewhere else these days. I turned my ears twitching up at the footsteps heading down the street.
I stood up on my toes-even though I was tall enough to see down the street anyways-and made out the shape of Ernest. I smiled to myself before darting into one of hte bushes surrounding the outer walls of the Institute.

As Evelyn took a few steps towards the creature, she began to recognize the sharp scent of it...him, that is. She had not met many Shadowhunters, but she did recognize the weird smell of them. It was not completely unpleasant, just...shocking, if she was going to be honest. Like a punch to the senses or however the phrase went.
She turned to leave. However, just as she did so, the more recognizable, tangy, bloody smell of vampire hit the roof of her mouth, and she turned once more, interested as to what one of the Children of the Night could possibly want with the Institution.

@lunallovegood Guilty of copy/pasting ping lists. Lol
@cutiecupcake Sorry for failing at pinging you.
@icowolf
@magickitten6464

Ernest let out a big yawn as he approached the Institute. He had been up and about early this morning, and for some reason, he had a nasty habit of being up late. Maybe he would consider a nap when he got back.

He wandered by bushes as he approached the gates of the Institute.

I watched as Ernest approached the Institute, but stayed back in the shadows. /Now is not hte time.\ I thought before flopping down on the ground under the bushes and taking on my lynx form.

oscines • 28 April 2014 at 8:50 AM

{Dereck} Dereck walked with clare not knowing she was a werewolf. That's why she was so weird. Dereck found out she was so he kept a close eye on her and kept his fangs to himself .

{Clara} Clare noticed that dereck kept his distance but she didn't want this to ruin there friendship so she started a conversation. "Hey so umm... how are you".

{Dereck} "Uhh fine your not gonna attack are you i mean not to be rude but in reality we shouldn't be talking to each other its like a law" .

{Clara} " Well if it was a law wa would be in jail but were not and we were always best friends even since you told me you were a vampire i never attacked ".

{Dereck} Dereck walked on into an ally and stood there hiding in the shadows with his friend.

@Poe its ok

{Ender}
I turned my head to see a figure standing just up the street from the Institute, she carried the same scent as Tess, that of Ailuranthrope. I had the feeling she could smell me, mainly because she looked confused.
"What?" I called irritably.

Ernest entered through the heavy doors of the Institute. He wandered casually through the building, wondering if anyone was around today. The Institute here seemed to have relatively few resident shadow hunters, so it could get very quiet. Ernest didn't mind it, though.

Evelyn raised an eyebrow at the vampire's irritable call and slunk forwards a few steps, just so she could speak without having to shout. "What do you mean, what?" she inquired dryly, "I haven't said anything to you. Well, now I am, but before this moment I hadn't."

featherstar_stormclan • 1 May 2014 at 12:01 AM

@poe @lunallovegood @cutiecupcake @icowolf @magickitten6464

{Ender}
I shrugged, "You looked questionable standing in front of an old run down building that's all." I said.

poe • 7 May 2014 at 1:24 AM

@icowolf @cutieupacke @lunallovegood @magickitten6464 @featherstar_stormclan

Cecily walked down the street with a bounce to her step. She was humming a pleasant tune, and clearly quite happy. The girl was nondescript to most.

Turning onto another street, she found herself only a few meters from two people standing in front of an old, run down building, speaking to one another.

featherstar_stormclan • 9 May 2014 at 10:11 PM

@poe @lunallovegood @cutiecupcake @magickitten6464 @icowolf

{Ender}
I turned at the sound of someone walking towards me. "Who are you?" I snapped at the girl who had appeared.

poe • 10 May 2014 at 1:42 AM

@icowolf @cutiecupcake @lunallovegood @magickitten6464 @featherstar_stormclan

"Oh." Cecily uttered in surprise as one of the people ahead, who appeared to be a vampire, snapped at her.

"You certainly do not need to behave so. As for who I am? That is an awfully big question to ask. But one possible short answer is that my name is Cecily. May I ask your name?" She replied in a slightly irked tone.

featherstar_stormclan • 10 May 2014 at 10:25 PM

@poe you mispinged @cutiecupcake you forgot the second c. @icowolf @magickitten6464 @lunallovegood

{Ender}
"I go by Ender." I replied, calming down as Cecily-or so I'm told-asked for my name. "And well, I'm just kinda upset as it is, with the sun coming up soon and all." I muttered, "I really should go."

poe • 10 June 2014 at 2:31 AM

@icowolf @cutiecupcake @lunallovegood @magickitten6464 @featherstar_stormclan so basically I suck at pinging people. Lol I'm kind of wondering if this died or not, but maybe we could bring it back?

{Cecily}

"Good bye, I guess. Hopefully you find something good in your day." Cecily smiled, really meaning her good wishes toward Ender.

It's awfully quiet today, she thought. Could I really be so lucky?


{Ernest}

The young man heaved a sigh as he walked through the halls of the Institute. He changed his mind about having a nap; napping kept him up late. Ernest was guilty of doing so anyway, however. Instead, he chose to head up a flight of stairs to where the old pipe organ sat. Even after the place became an institution for the shadow hunters, the organ was kept in it's place, most likely out of a sense of nostalgia. Shadow hunters could be sentimental about that kind of thing.

featherstar_stormclan • 10 June 2014 at 11:07 PM

@poe It did die, but let's hope the mods don't lock it, and try to bring it back. @icowolf @cutiecupcake @lunallovegood @magickitten6464

{Ender}
I shrugged before running back to my house, trying to outrun the dawn.

{Tess}
I changed to a human, pleased I could shift so easily now, and walked into the institute.

poe • 11 June 2014 at 1:24 AM

@icowolf @cutiecupcake @lunallovegood @magickitten6464 @featherstar_stormclan

{Ernest}

Ernest removed his jacket and many of the hidden weapons he carried, placing them in a heap next to the keyboard. Then, he strode over to the massive set of pipes, unlocking the door - he kept the key with the rest of the keys he owned - and slipping inside the chamber. It was a little dusty inside from disuse, but Ernest figured it was usable. He checked out all the switches and turned the electric pump on to give the instrument the air it needed to make sound.

So far, so good, he thought. It ought to function just fine seeing as the motor inside is still running.

Ernest weaved through the inside of the organ, which resembled an obstacle course, and took a seat at the bench in front of the knobs, keys, and pedals. After a moment of deliberation, Ernest plucked out a few knobs in the strings section on the right of the keyboard. Placing his hands and feet on the keys and pedals, he began mapping out a familiar sequence of notes which reverberated in the Institute. He wasn't concerned about bothering anyone, as not many shadowhunters occupied the space.

featherstar_stormclan • 11 June 2014 at 11:10 PM

@poe I might have to remake this. @lunallovegood @cutiecupcake @icowolf @magickitten6464

{Tess}
I caught the sound of organ music drifting from one of hte older rooms. I struggled to hear better, but exhaustion was dulling my senses.

poe • 11 June 2014 at 11:27 PM

@featherstar_stormclan Lol yeah maybe. I'd keep the same characters, if you did. I think the issue might be that there are a lot of werewolves/cats and nothing bringing the different characters together yet.
@lunallovegood @cutiecupcake @icowolf @magickitten6464

{Ernest}

The organ was one of the things Ernest thoroughly enjoyed about this place. He honestly didn't enjoy being a shadowhunter much, nor the responsibility of it all. The music was a great escape from that.

He'd picked a baroque piece for the morning. Ernest creased his brow in concentration; it was hard enough keeping the balance between his two hands, let alone hitting all the pedals with his two feet. The song was in a minor key, the melody hopping back and forth between treble and bass in an argumentative dialogue.

featherstar_stormclan • 12 June 2014 at 12:05 AM

@poe Yeah. I'm probably going to keep the same characters, but make another rule about having at least one Shadowhunter in you whole group, or just redo the entire thing and start from scratch. I don't know yet, let's just wait and see what happens to this one. @lunallovegood @cutiecupcake @icowolf @magickitten6464

{Tess}
I sigh before heading up to my room, and flopping down on my bed. It was about six in the morning, but I had been up all night, and almost immediately fell asleep.

poe • 13 June 2014 at 3:22 PM

@featherstar_stormclan @lunallovegood @cutiecupcake @icowolf @magickitten6464

Cecily finally made her way back to the Institute. She was naturally an early riser, so the fact that the sun was barely awake didn't keep her drowsy. As she turned onto the street where the Institute was located, she began humming to herself again. Her hand trailed along the iron fence leading up to the gates. Cecily opened them a crack, just large enough for her to slip through, then closed them behind.

The young shadow hunter cheerfully flitted through the doors and into the main area of the building. Her stomach growled, reminding her plaintively that she had left with nothing more than a muffin as a snack earlier this morning.

Apparently, it's time to head to the kitchen, she thought. Still humming a happy tune, Cecily made her way down this hall and that to the kitchen.

Ernest was up early this morning, she thought, recalling that he had been waking up as she was leaving the Institute on her own business. Cecily figured she may as well make breakfast to feed at least the two of them, and whoever else might be awake by the time it was ready.

featherstar_stormclan • 14 June 2014 at 1:48 PM

@poe @lunallovegood @cutiecupcake @icowolf @magickitten6464

{Tess}
I sighed being awoken by the sound of a door shutting and the sound of footsteps. I rolled out of my bed and walked towards the door of my room, following the footsteps to find Cecily in hte kitchen.

poe • 15 June 2014 at 1:58 AM

@featherstar_stormclan @lunallovegood @cutiecupcake @icowolf @magickitten6464

{Cecily}

The young woman tossed a large pan on the stove and paused in front of the fridge upon hearing someone else entering.

"Oh good morning, Tess!" Cecily greeted nearly melodious, "I just thought I'd go about making breakfast. Any preferences, since you're here?"

featherstar_stormclan • 15 June 2014 at 8:07 PM

@poe @lunallovegood @cutiecupcake @icowolf @magickitten6464

{Tess}
"Actually I don't have any preferences." I said shrugging.

poe • 20 June 2014 at 1:10 AM

@featherstar_stormclan @lunallovegood @cutiecupcake @icowolf @magickitten6464

"Pancakes it is!" Cecily jovially exclaimed, too perky for the early hour, "I haven't made pancakes in a while. We're always so busy around here, rushing in and out and eating at odd times some days."

Up on the large balcony still at the organ, Ernest ended a song with a yawn. He really hated being up early without food, and what was worse was that his stomach began complaining about it.

featherstar_stormclan • 21 June 2014 at 12:41 AM

@poe @lunallovegood @cutiecupcake @icowolf @magickitten6464

{Tess}
"Alright then." I said nodding in approval of what Cecily had chosen to make. "Do you need any help with anything?"
