Cursing wildly under her breath, Elyse tromped through the snow, her boots carving through it like a knife through butter. For the sixty-five millionth time, she wondered why she was choosing to do this now. It had been a while since that....memorable escapade with Marlow throughout her hospital, and she'd decided to take it upon herself to finally do that medical check up for the boy. That little human boy that the elder vampire had up in a closet in that dilapitated house he chose to stay in. 

Really. For a vampire, she figured he'd have picked something more stable. Muttering to herself, Elyse glowered up at the dark sky. The other reason for her little trip came trickling back to her. Rather, two reasons. They were named Dante, and Ezekiel. After she had run her tests, the insane boy had reverted to a different personality altogether. This one was more gentle and quiet, but incredibly annoying. He chose to follow her around insesintly, pausing only to bug Dante for a moment or two. 

Said vampire in white suit was no better. He dissappeared like a ghost when she was in need of his help,  and appeared when she really didn't want him around. Despite this, Dante had a few small redeeming attributes. He never failed to carry out her every request exactly, and seemed to treat her as his superior (which Elyse really didn't understand because, as far as she knew, she was much younger and weaker than him.)

I'm not sure where everyone has run off to, but I'm still going to post an update with TBD's on the date. If any does decide to come back, that would be fan-fucking-tastic.

Who: Theo - OPEN
What: A drink or two.
Where: SSB (Sunrise Sunset Bar)
When: After dark.


As the sun went down, Theo stood, watching the last bits of ray slowly disappear. His exposed skin stun slightly, but did not burn. He took a long drag from his cigarette before starting his walk towards the bar, zigzagging in the streets to divert any attention on him, whether it worked or not. He did nod to a few passerby, and they returned the gesture; perhaps he didn't look as pale as he thought, or as weird. It was freezing out, yet he wore only a light button-up shirt, folded once at the wrists and untucked from his dark blue jeans. His hair was a mess as always, but he didn't care. He almost never cared.

Days Until Sun Returns: 0.

News:

I has not snowed in well over a week now. It had actually begun to melt just the other day. It seemed, even in November, that the weather was becoming lighter than last month. The weather will change, however, in the days to come. Everyone had returned home. There were more than enough people to have a house party, or at least go out to dinner without looking like your younger brother's date. Those who have been missing have not been forgotten, but the situation became lighter. It was like they had disappeared to Neverland and slowly their families were starting to forget them. The signs that were posted up around town were beginning to peal from their respective areas. Only those deeply thrown into a depressed state because of it were able to save some of the fliers. The police station and it's workers were completely worthless. They have not sent one search party to look for these people. Even Reese Archer's words were disregarded, even when finding her mother in a bloody mess and her father missing as well.

One local paper has gone mad with fear about what has happened to the girl's parents. The year 1981 is continuously being brought up, but only a few people are listening.

Plot:

New people are roaming around, get out there and see who they are. Vampires are beginning to seep into town, acting like those around them. A small group of people gathered at Brennan's Farm yesterday as well as today; they have decided to form a search party for the missing persons. They will enter the abandoned area of Juneau once the entire town is searched. Anyone willing to join, can. You will only have to meet with the others at noon the following day at Brennan's Farm, located at the "T" of Tide and Muppit.

Everyone.. You have all disappeared. What is it that I need to do to get the ball rolling again?

Who: Marlow, Zeta (NPC), Charlie (NPC) // (OPEN)
What: Confrontation
Where: Marlow's "Home"
When: Sunset

---

Zeta entered through the back kitchen door, dried blood splattered on her face and a grin from ear to ear. Marlow had let the boy, Charlie, roam around with his supervision, although he was still terrified and barely able to move without a formidable thought crossing his mind. Sensing someone else in the room, Marlow turned smartly, the boy at his side. There stood Zeta, tittering softly as she ogled the boy for a while before turning her gaze up at Marlow. He tilted his head, shaking it slightly and said nothing. When he had first met Zeta, his first impression of her was nothing like the way she is today. She was quiet, calm, and acted like she was very confident in becoming Marlow's closest ally. The next day, unfortunately, she changed. It was all an act to gain Marlow's trust (in which he still doesn't with a lot of things). Mentally he gave her the role as the undermost vampire he knew, but she was unaware of it, thinking that she stood as the second highest; Marlow being the first.

She stepped closer to both Marlow and Charlie, her arms held away from her body slightly, giving a look that said: 'I'm going to lunge when you allow me to.' Marlow placed a hand on the boy's shoulder, pushing him back and behind him. Marlow watched Zeta intently, ready for whatever she may try to do. The silence was apparently becoming too much for Zeta to handle. She opened her mouth widely and screeched. "Can I have him? Can I eat him? Is he a gift from you to me, Marlow?" She squealed in utter excitement, stepping forward and backward numerous times before Marlow snapped at her.

 Who: Avi and whoever might be lurking about
What: Examining the new surroundings
Where: The old Juneau local library
When: 2 a.m.
 

The remainder of the night, and well into the day, (not that it really mattered what time it was, without the sun around to drive her into hiding), Avi wandered the long, darkened corridors of Juneau's old local library. It was surprisingly large, considering its location, and the small amount of people who would have frequented it, but this didn't bother her; the large selection of books, in which she was pleasantly surprised to find several she had not already read, would keep the place interesting when she moved in. 

An even more pleasant surprise was stumbling the manager's room, on the top level of the building. Whoever had owned the library previously, apparently had also lived above it. Avi had had to kick the door in to get inside; apparently, who ever had lived here had locked up and left, thinking that they'd be back from whatever errand in a short while. Not qute the case. Everything inside seemed in order, but dusty; it was clear some sort of cleaning would have to be done.  It was not so much that the dust bothered her senses, but she didn't like it on her things. And they were her things now. There were also several large windows above both the abandoned bed and the fire place which would have to be blacked out eventually, before the sun made its not-so-grand reappearance. 

Turning from the room, stepping carefully over the door she had knocked out, she continued on with her study of the place. Libraries always seemed to have stories to tell that had nothing to do with the written page, and she was determined to discover some of them before she had to go back out. To feed.

Who: Micah (OPEN)
What: Waiting
Where: The Bar
When: 9 pm

A vampire was sitting at the end of the bar, about as noticeable as a shadow cast against the wall. He cradled his drink in his hands, staring into it, as if all the answers to his problems were floating around inside. Individual voices around him blended into a low hum. 

Micah was thinking. He thought about the little girl he had met a few nights ago, whose mother had been killed, and wondered if the murder investigation would lead to anything. Knowing humans, probably not. They have a knack for only seeing what they want to see, until it's too late.

The days of darkness had been relatively uneventful. A few children had been kidnapped, and a few people were dead, but that's all. Micah found himself vaguely disappointed. The vampires here were cautious. They cleaned up after themselves, but they seemed disorganized. Maybe there were too few of them to attempt anything at this point. After all, Micah hadn't met a single one face to face yet, and he had expected a town that experienced day-long darkness every year to be crawling with vampires.

Then again, a part of him was relieved. Micah wasn't ready to fight again. Even if there was nothing worth revealing here, he had to lie low for a while.

Date: November 9th
Moon Phases: Waning Cresent.
Temperature: 34°F
Weather: Clear Skies.
Days Until Sun Returns: 0.

News/Plot:

The sun is back. It's been back for a full 9 days, but the sunshine doesn't make everyone happy. Those families that had lost members are still in mourning, however, they do not know whether or not these members are in fact dead. They are missing.

The generators that had mysteriously been destroyed are being repaired, and numerous other repairs are being made to random buildings that need it. Not much seems out of the ordinary this month, but that's not saying that nothing will happen. People walk the streets, whether happy or sad, and do as they would have done just like any other year. Grocery shopping, tending to their animals, fixing their cars, eating at the diners/restaurants or having a chat in the bar.

The vampires didn't seem to do much damage, only to the families who have missing people. But those two kids, out of the others, are still missing. It was once three, but Reese Archer managed to escape from wherever it was that she was taken to. The police, of course, did not believe her tales about creatures walking the night. But when they went to her home, they believed a bit more.

With a woman slaughtered and a father missing, it seems that the vampires have burned a page out of Juneau's book.

Who: Reese and... (OPEN)
What: Coming home, then leaving again.
Where: Reese's Parents House/Streets
When: 11:00 pm

---

Sitting against the cold building was the least of her mountain of worries. She worried most about what her mother would say or perhaps do when she walked into the house. Reese had in fact been missing for quite a while, but her mother, as mean as she was, would be more upset if she were to return rather than stay gone. Out of sight, out of mind was probably the best phrase to use in this case. Besides, if Reese were to run inside yelling about monsters, her mother would then have a good reason to send her off to a psych ward.

Slowly, she stood, wrapping her dirtied coat tighter around herself then ever before. She had yet to find the police station, that being the first place she wanted to go after escaping from her captures. But she had to settle for home. Maybe dad was back from his trip. Reese crossed the street, taking caution to all of the places one could hide. She quickened her pace, climbing the steps and reaching the door. Taking one last look around, she stepped inside. 'Unlocked, what are they, nuts?' she thought, slamming the door to get some attention. Nothing. She reached back to repeat the action, but decided that it would be best to just lock it. So, in replace to her good intentions, she kicked the door a few times.

"Hello?!" she yelled, taking a few steps towards the dining area. The table was set, but something smelled awful. "What the, that's sick," she managed through her hands, clutching her face as she continued to walk. At close range, she noticed that food had already been partly eaten from the plates. The food, however, was a bit rotten. There was no way that her own mother would be that out of her mind about a lost child to want to eat rotten food. Something was terribly wrong, and although she did not want to trek further, her adventurous trait got the best of her.

First a set table, now rotten food. The lights were on, and the door was unlocked. The food was partly eaten, so whatever it was that disturbed the dinner, made them leave rather quickly. But something was out of place. A couple of the chairs were knocked over. Reese stopped where she stood, a foot away from the door-less entry to the kitchen. She had pulled her shirt up and over her nose, holding it there as she listened. Someone was still here; she wasn't about to start yelling. The setting was way to strange to go around yelling like an idiot when anyone could be inside. The noise sounded like footsteps. The house creaked in certain areas when stepped on, so it wouldn't be too hard to determine where they were coming from; which was far away in the other room.

She took in a deep breath and turned the corner to the kitchen. Her eyes widened. There lay her mother, face down on the ground in a dried dark pool of her own blood. Her throat had been torn from her body, but from where Reese was standing, she could not really tell. She let out a shriek, stepping back and tripping over the fallen chair. The steps grew louder and heavier as she scrambled to her feet to reach the front door. The steps had a voice, and the voice had a body. There he stood, howling before trying to lunge himself at Reese.

Fortunately she was able to swing open the door before turning around to take a good look. It was her father. He hadn't changed fully, but enough to want to do the same thing to her as he had done to her mother. Reese slammed the door in tears before tripping her way in fear back to the streets for anyone she could find.

Who: Elyse and anyone willing to join...
What: Exploring the hospital grounds
Where: The front gardens of Alchemilla Hospital
When: 12:45 a.m. (3 days left of darkness)


All day, Elyse had wandered around the abandoned hospital. That was all she'd really done lately. She had become familiar with the hallways and the different floors. The only ward she refused to go into at all, was the mental health division. The rubber rooms, the straight jackets, and the leather straps brought back memories she'd rather keep buried. The rest of her time, she spent pouring over files and reports she'd found in the basement. The idiocy of the doctors that were here amused and enraged her. Other than that, everything had gone relatively smoothly; until yesterday. Elyse had found the staircase to the roof during her exploring, and as she came through the exit, she was tackled from behind. All she could see was a flash of blond hair; it was the same vampire she'd encountered with Marlow.

 The female had judged the distance to the edge incorrectly, and the both of them were sent flying off the roof. Thinking quickly, Elyse shoved the woman away from her, and hit the ground rolling. What seemed like hours later, the two stood up, advancing on each other. After that well.......let's just say that things got nasty. Elyse had walked away with deep gashes on her face and arms, three broken ribs, and a sprained ankle. The blond vampire, however, was much worse off. Elyse smiled at the memory.

Hopefully the little nit will have enough sense to stay away. I don't have the patience for such stupidity at the moment.....not with only three days left of this darkness.

Date: October 28th
Moon Phases: Last Quarter.
Temperature: 6°F
Weather: Heavy fog, Flurries.
Days Until Sun Returns: Three (3).

News/Plot:

The names of those who are missing have been released. They are:

• Reese Archer - 13
• Charlie Smith - 11
• Mackenzie Morrow - 13
• Thomas Higgins - 38
• Sebastian Warner - 22
• John Booth - 50
• Eve Benton - 18
• Nathaniel Kip - 47

The generator to Bruno's Italian Restaurant was mysteriously ripped apart. Unless someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol was out and about that night, no one would ever really want to do this.

Plot: Get out and find the people. Get your characters into some action! Reese has been roaming around town, trying to find her way to the police station. She had managed to escape from the abandoned area, but is unaware of were she is due to lack of food. People around town, mostly those families of those who are missing are more than willing to start a search party. The town isn't that big, but there's still that one area, which is basically another town all on its own.

((I'm so out of it I'm not even sure what to write. Let's liven this place up, though!!))

Date: October 18th
Moon Phases (3 days): Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent.
Temperature: 4°F
Weather: Snow storms, heavy fog, chance of heavy blizzards.
Days Until Sun Returns: Thirteen (13).

News/Plot:

In news: Families have been reporting in non-stop about missing members. No bodies have been found. The 3 children which have gone missing over a week ago are still missing. There are no leads or evidence bound to their disappearance. On the 20th, Police will send out a small squad to go looking for them passed the gates to see if they are there. It's been reported that some people are actually getting together to form their own search party, since the authorities are taking way too long to do it themselves.

Power is still out in most of the buildings around town. Half of the homes still have power, the other half are running on their generators. For every 2 houses there is 1 generator. For everything else other than a home, runs on its own generator. One restaurant in particular stands out from the rest as of right now. Bruno's Italian Restaurant has not only lost power, but lost power to the generator as well. The generator has been ripped apart; this was no accident. Someone wanted the patrons that were stuck inside to be without light almost completely. Whoever was there that night, is among the missing persons. A total of 8 people have gone missing.

Some say gunshots were heard that night, but thought nothing of it: residents of Juneau are almost always out at odd hours hunting or just shooting into space due to intoxication.

PLOT:

Eight people, gone. Did they all decide to head out of town? Were they sick of this place? Or did someone, or something, take them? The residents of Juneau are scared as shit for their own safety. It's almost as though one cannot care for another, no matter who it is. But others are becoming quite the opposite. They want to form a bond or group, to fight whatever it is out there taking away their friends and family. Most of all, they want those children home first. They seem to be the #1 priority on the list. The other 8 people could have left town, tired of the cold, snow, and losing power in every god damn building known to man.

Join a group, make a group, choose what you will. Find those kids. Explore. There are no limitations here.

Who: Reese and Charlie
What: Being Kidnapped.
Where: Abandoned area.
When: Late night.

Reese continued on with Charlie, not bothering to look back at the other kids who waited just beyonds the gates in the street lamp light. She tucked her jacket around herself tightly, pulling the hood up and over her head. Charlie kept close, his breathing erratic, as though he had just ran a few miles. She tucked her arm under his and linked the two, leaning close to him. "Maybe I should have listened to you, C," she said, a frown forming on her face. "Out there it seemed too easy to come here, but now, I'm not so sure," was her finish. Charlie shoved her off.

"Then why didn't you listen to me!" He yelled, his voice nearly echoing throughout the alleyways and empty buildings. "I told you this place was a freak show!" He continued, his face turning a bright red (not from the cold). She furrowed her brows and decided to scream back. "Well if you didn't want to go, you shouldn't have tagged along, you idiot! I didn't force you, did i?"

They fell silent. Both had realized for a moment that they were making so much noise that if anything did live here, it sure knew that they were present. Reese narrowed her eyes at Charlie, as if to blame him for all of this, and for what was to come, if anything. Charlie's expression, however, was quite the opposite. His eyes grew wide with fear, his mouth dropped open, and his red cheeks were now very pale. Reese froze, not able to comprehend that maybe there was something or someone behind her. She could not move, even if she wanted to. Charlie lifted a gloved hand and pointed just past her before taking off. Some friend he was.

First she heard the crunching of snow beneath footsteps, then the hissing of what sounded like an overgrown snake. Slowly, she turned, looking over her shoulder to see four figures standing before her. She didn't even have the time to run before another grabbed her arms and hauled her away.

Who: Kat and whoever wants to jump in. (OPEN!)
What: Discussion.
Where: The Bar
When: 11:17 PM

There was one thing she hated about this town.

And that was the cold.

Of course, most would say the dark, but besides the fact it really put a damper on her photography, Kat didn't mind the dark. She needed complete darkness to sleep, so this just made her life easier. But no, the cold was fucking awful and it never went away, it seemed. Sweaters were so two years ago, and still, she found herself wrapped in two of them, over a cardigan, and still shivering.

Then again, they'd decided to keep the heat on low to conserve the generator.

( Light a match, slow the descent; a little bit of resistance... )

Nobody was talking much, but she caught a whisper. Can you imagine?... The three of them, missing ... out in the cold ... dead side ... search party?...

The answer to the last question always seemed to be, 'It's too Dangerous'.

Katrina, tired of all the superstitious quacks, slammed her fist on the table, bolting her companion from sleep for a moment before the snoring began again.

"You all are pathetic. So it's cold -- they could die out there if nobody goes to look for them."

(Tag whoever! Lets do something!)

Who: Marlow and another vampire. (OPEN)
What: Planning.
Where: Across the street from Bruno's.
When: 8:40 pm

Most of the day Marlow had been stroking the keys of an old-fashioned piano which sat in the same home he had been occupying for years. Although the piano had been rotted and looked as though it were going to fall apart, the keys remained clean. He played almost every day, thinking of the times in which he had taken someones life to preserve his own so that he could repeat the act to another.

As he sat silently on the bench at the piano, his vision flowed over the keys, placing his hands on his thighs. The ticking of the clock which hung as crooked as an old man's spine on the wall made him think. Tomorrow was Halloween, a time where people would dress like the being he was, only wearing frilly shirts, slicked hair, and looking as though they were going to lay a beautiful woman into a Victorian-styled bed while gently sinking his teeth into her neck. It disgusted Marlow to think that humans pretended not only to be like him, but like other "scary" creatures such as werewolves and witches. Halloween was a joke.

Frustrated, he stood and placed his hand over the lit candle, pinching out the flame before walking out of the home. There was no need to open nor close the front door since it was missing anyways. He stared at the doorway, thinking of the child he had taken only a few days ago. A small boy which now sat in an upstairs closet, locked. This gave hope to Marlow that someone would come looking for the child, giving him more flesh to feed upon.

!! UPDATED WITH EVENTS !!

Date: October 7th
Moon Phase: Full
Temperature: 23°F
Weather: Flurries off/on Rest of Week and Next.
Days Until Sun Returns: Five (05).

News/Plot:

There are 24 days left until the sun returns, and although the town has become tired and wary, excitement has filled the cold air. However, a handful of people have gone missing, and two have been found dead. The second body was found today, early this morning near the gates. He looked similar to the other body, identified as 32-year-old Jerry Levells, with the throat torn out. This body was found again by Helen MacFloyd, a 54-year-old woman who lives near the Sunrise Sunset Bar. Questions have been risen as to why her; why she was the only one who kept finding these bodies. Authorities decided not to take the woman in for questioning just yet. There was no way, in their eyes, that a 54 year old woman could do the damage that had been done to both bodies; unless she was some alien from Mars or some supernatural being.

People shuffled the streets and paid for the newspapers stacked on one another near the paperboy on the corner of Cuttle and York St. As we peer over the shoulder of one paying customer, we see the front page bears the photo of a small girl. The headline: "Young Girl Found Dead." Yes, you have read correctly. The body found this morning was indeed 12-year-old Maggie Harte. None of the readers of the paper wanted to turn the page. The whole town was in shock. It's sad to think that when Jerry Levells was found, that it was more like a pinch compared to this blow. Finding out that a small girl was killed silenced the streets. How? And why? Everyone wanted to point the finger at Helen; even those which claimed to be her friend.

The ghost town of Juneau was becoming more and more curious to the people outside the gates. Some claimed that figures were seen moving about in the buildings; that faces floated in the shadows only to disappear seconds later when they looked back.

7:49 pm - The power goes out at SSB, Bruno's Italian Restaurant, Lucky's, and Red9 Liquor.
8:30 pm - The power goes out at Maria's Cafe, Bobby Road's Burgers, and Running Horse Pub.

Almost every hour by the hour more places seem to be losing power. Only half of the generators kick in, the others have been damaged. The excitement people were gaining about the sun quickly starts to lower and becomes taken over by fear. What happened to the others who are missing? Who are they?:

Missing:

Reese Archer
Charlie Smith
Mackenzie Morrow

( EVENTS UNDER THE CUT!! )

Who: Reese and terrible peers. (OPEN)
What: A dare to go into the abandoned area.
Where: Just before the gates.
When: Night, around 8pm.

Reese and approximately 6 other children stood there eyeballing the buildings which were once occupied over 20 years ago. Earlier in school, there was a bet that Reese and Charlie (a good friend of hers) would never step foot passed the gates. They were taunted and made fun of throughout the day until the two of them finally gave in.

EARLIER: "Fine. We'll go to the damn area, but you know what? We'll even go into one of the buildings, your choice," said Reese with a confident smile.
"Yeah! .. Wait, we'll what?" questioned Charlie. "A building?! Of their choice?!"
Reese smacked him a bit to make him shut up. This was her chance to do something big and gain the respect she most likely deserved. She wanted to show the punks that she wasn't scared.


So there they all stood. Charlie huddled near Reese as she pushed back the hood of her jacket and looked over at Max, the boy who brought up the dare to begin with and the one who was going to choose the building. She lifted a brow, and didn't look very happy. It might have been a big mistake to take this bet, but it was too late to back down.

"Well, choose the place, Max. We're waiting," she said, motioning to the area with her gloved hand. Max looked at the other kids and smirked, placing his hands on his hips and tilting his head. "Ok. I heard that the most haunted part of this place is at the amusement park. Go there," he said, folding his arms around him.

Who: James and his dogs. (OPEN to ANYONE)
What: A little downtime?
Where: His apartment
When: Early afternoon


Since the sun had set for the month over Juneau, James had stayed in, unless it was to go to work. But even then, after Jerry's was found in an alley, he was wary. James knew Jerry. Not personally, but the man was nice to him every time he came into the bar for a drink. They were close in age, there was plenty to talk about.

James sighed a little as he padded barefoot from his kitchen to his living room in the front of his apartment. His two dogs followed behind him, eager to catch a crumb from the two sandwiches he was carrying on his plate with him. He settled down on his couch, grabbing the remote for the television and turning it on.

He took a bite of the sandwich. Turkey was always his favorite. But when Archie jumped up into his lap, he gave a dirty look, his mouth filled with turkey and mayonaise and bread. "You're not getting any. I don't know why you're up here." He exclaimed, though it was only half coherent. He pushed the puppy out of his lap and drew his legs up to his chest. He took another bite, swallowed, then looked to Layla, who looked just as eager as the other dog to get a bite. "What are you, vultures? I just fed you. What the hell do you want?"

He shook his head, smirking. "Look if there's any left over..." He trailed off when he watched Archie's ears perk up, when he heard soft scratching on the window of his front door. He was glad that blinds were covering it. Swallowing hard, he put his plate down on the couch and reached underneath it for the baseball bat he always kept ready. After living in this god forsaken town, he learned quick to keep some kind of weapon close.

Date: October 11th/12th
Moon Phase: Waxing Crescent
Temperature: 36°F
Weather: Snow showers: M, T, W, F, Sun.
Days Until Sun Returns: Thirty (30).

News:

SUNDAY a body of a man was found in the alley between buildings 2883 and 2885 late afternoon. The body was discovered by Helen MacFloyd, 54, who lives near the Sunrise Sunset Bar. “I noticed someone lying near the gate in the alley that separates it into two [alleys],” she said. Upon further investigation, she noticed the man’s throat was in fact missing. “It looked like a wild animal attacked him.”

The body was identified as Jerry Levells, 32, a resident of Juneau for 18 years. “We don’t get animals in town that would do such a thing,” says Walter York, 44. “Whatever it was, it was not human nor animal.” Levells’ only immediate family are his parents and his younger brother.

If you have any information regarding the death of Jerry Levells, please contact the police department.

NOTE: I realize that February only has 29 days. Two days after will still be October 30th and 31st. When it is March 3rd, just play it as December 3rd. November 3rd (sorry, I can be an idiot at times).
