Invasion of Seattle @ 09:19 pm

[info]nextgen_vampire:

Ophelia had planned this thoroughly ever since her surviving children had told her of what had befallen the others in the city. She could see that with this group of supernatural hunters, as well as the arrival of the vampire lord, Theodoric, that Seattle was about to become an important fixture in underworld politics. Whoever held it would be in a position of tremendous power. Though perhaps more importantly, the men her servants had described could potentially create a brood of daughters the likes of which neither vampire or human could stand against. Yes..this was far too tempting an opportunity to pass up.

It started early into the night, and happened almost as soon as it had begun. Ophelia had a small of followers infiltrate Seattle bit by bit until they were indistinguishable from the mortal population. At the exact moment, several known vampire lairs were suddenly attacked by disguised tryks. The smaller populations were slaughtered instantly in the initial surprise while the larger ones were decimated and trying to hold back the attackers in the boughs of their lairs with superior firepower.

In the news it looked almost as if some kind of gang warfare was going on. A nightclub, an office building, and a motel. Police had the areas cordoned off, though all attempts for them to enter the buildings had resulted in bloody deaths.

Time Honored Tradition - Rate The Hunk @ 06:24 pm

[info]anyastark:

Anya had spent Thanksgiving with her team and with her family. Early dinner in Boston and then dinner with the family in New York in the evening. It was great having two Thanksgiving Day dinners. The best part of the holiday after the food was the day after Thanksgiving. It wasn't for the shopping or the deals, but for the time honored tradition of rating the male members of the superhero community.

Anya had the rec room of the Avengers mansion all prepared. Pizza, snacks, drinks of the soft kind and other various items for eating and drinking were laid out. Electronics were all prepared for the event. All that was left was for the guests to arrive.

Current Location: Seattle, WA
Current Mood: calm

It had been almost a week since Dolemeck and Tyler had moved into their new apartment complex. Being as it was already furnished, they did not need to bring in any of the furniture from the old place, or do much decorating. But that did not stop Dolemeck from working on his own room. He had put up pictures of the people who mattered to him on the walls. His parents, his cousin Derek Woo, a picture of himself and Argo on a boat, and even a picture of himself and Tyler in Germany, with their tour guide Gerta.

Just a she was about to put up another picture, there was a knock on the door of the apartment. He placed down the picture frame that was in his hands and went to go open the door.

All Hallow's Eve @ 11:14 am

[info]nextgen_holiday:

All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween as it has been come to be called, is a popular holiday with children and adults alike. It is a holiday that had its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain or Summer's End. Samhain celebrated the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half".

On this evening the barriers between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be thin and the spirits, good and bad, of the dead could pass through. The spirits of the family's ancestors were welcomed in while evil and bad spirits were warded off by the wearing of masks and costumes. The costumes and masks disguised one as a harmful spirit and avoided harm from others.

It was also a harvest celebration and time to take stock of food stores for the winter. Livestock were slaughtered and the meat prepared for storage. It was the final harvest of the year and the crops were then stored for the winter. Celebrations included bonfires and tales of the family's ancestors.

It was a celebration of the dead and of the harvest.

Today we dress up in scary and not so scary costumes and masks and go door to door for candy or attend costume parties. It is a night for revelry, pranks and fun.

The Hunt is On @ 08:11 pm

[info]living_dhampir:

The area was known in certain underground circles as being one of Seattle's largest vampire population centers. The Patriarch had arranged for Greg to attain a scent from one of the vampires killed by the tryk. Now they were spread out, but not too far from each other, keeping in contact. Tyler himself was perched on a rooftop, allowing him to scan for suspicious movements.

Night Patrol (open) @ 07:25 pm

[info]dolemecknight:
Current Location: Seattle, Washington
Current Mood: anxious

It had been a few weeks since Dolemeck had ended up in Seattle. In that time, he lost someone, he found someone, he met new friends, got a new job, and he discovered a new purpose for himself. He agreed he would help Bram, Tyler, and their friends look for any supernatural beings. It was odd, but such a pact made him feel more at home than when he was in Manhattan by himself. This place, it made him feel welcome.

He had finally been to a barber shop for the first time and had his hair cut much shorter (as Bram spoke of how having long hair would be one more thing an enemy could grab, and his managers at work were not happy with him having waist length hair). It was short in the back, and long in the front, going past his chin a little bit. It was odd how changing one's hair and location could make a man feel brand new.

"I should have done this sooner." He whispered to himself as he shadow ported from one alley to the next. He was hellbent on finding the other two escaped demons from limbo who tried to drag him back there. But so far, he was unable to find them, or much of anything. Then again, most supernatural beings would not be stupid enough to make themselves so easy to find. But then again, what was he?

As he thought more on this, Dolemeck shadow ported once more. He could find nothing, so he decided to look for a bar to go to for some fun.

Chow Down (Meme Response) @ 12:56 am

[info]devilonstrings:

Jo idly runs a finger along the rim of her glass, looking distracted as she waits for Greg to get back. After the latest skirmish with the vampires, it felt... well, the world felt like a marching band headed towards a banana peel. You knew the real chaos was coming, you were just holding your breath until it hit.

Meanwhile, Greg had asked her if she'd be his tester for rolling out a new pub menu for the bar. She'd agreed; and since it was still a young man and woman meeting alone for a meal, she'd dressed up a little bit. Nothing fancy, just enough to gauge a reaction, with a new blouse and skirt.

The Missing @ 07:00 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

The number of missing young adults in Seattle had risen steadily in the past two months. Posters of the missing young adults were put up on telephone poles, bulletin boards in local businesses and anywhere else people were allowed to put up signs. Loved ones searched for the missing persons and continued to plaster the city with the missing posters.

A young girl, probably around the age of twenty two, stumbled down the sidewalk about a block from the Wolf's Den. Her clothes were torn and dried blood stained one forearm. She tripped on the uneven sidewalk and fell to her knees.
 

Girl Times @ 06:54 pm

[info]devilonstrings:

Jo shows up at Rita's doorstep, having every intention of abducting her for some outlet mall shopping and maybe something quick and cosmetic. Not a full spa day, but maybe just a mani-pedi or something. There'd been too much weight over everyone's head lately with the new bloodsucker in town. Time for some relaxing.

Settling In(Open to Nightstalkers) @ 12:18 am

[info]harkerlegacy:

Since it seemed like he was going to be staying in Seattle for while Bram had been a busy boy getting himself set up. Cheap costing motel rooms were fine for him while traveling around but if he was going to be staying some place for more than a few days he wanted something a little nicer. So he had bought himself a penthouse apartment and had been upgrading it to fit his needs. His contractor he was fairly certain thought he was crazy at this point but didn't complain to much with how much he was paying him.

Taking a break from construction and getting the a better sense of the lay of the land Bram headed over to the Jazz bar the others liked to hang out at to get a few drinks. Bram ordered a beer from his seat at the bar and took a look around the room.

Down by the Bay (well, Sound) @ 11:29 pm

[info]devilonstrings:

Jo spread out a blanket and took her sneakers off. Even if she could still feel the grass crunch underneath her weight, it was a stretch of unseasonable warmth, and the sun was shining. She was able to dress relatively lightly and get out to enjoy the day. Ferries in the distance, tourists and day-trippers milling about, and at least half a dozen restaurants' grease traps filling the air from the middle distance. She was still in need of a new violin bow, but there was no reason she couldn't get out and take it easy while working on some arrangements. She digs out her notepad and gets to work, humming to herself, the notes carrying on the breezes around her.

A Sea of Blood @ 08:27 pm

[info]ng_divine_ones5:

Ophois unleashed the Egyptian goddess Sakhmet on the city of Budapest. The goddess' blood lust was insatiable and she tore through the city leaving a sea of blood behind her. Anyone that got in her way was cut down and the blood flowed freely.

Maria Stark Foundation Winter Charity Ball @ 07:51 pm

[info]nextgen_holiday:


You are cordially invited to attend the 28th annual Maria Stark Foundation's Winter Charity event.

Four Seasons Hotel
57 East 57th Street
New York, NY 10022

Friday 21st of September
Seven O'clock pm - Midnight

Formal dress required.

Please bring a donation for Toys for Tots.



The grand ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel on 57 East 57th street was festively decorated for the holidays. A series of lit candles on every table gave off warm light and the dulcet tones of a jazz ensemble filled the room.

People, the upper elite of New York society, Hollywood celebrities, musicians, politicians and even superheroes moved around the room. People sat at tables and talked, while some moved gracefully around the large dance floor.

Tables loaded with unwrapped and unopened toys lined one wall and at one end stood a very large decorated Christmas tree. Wrapped presents sat under the tree, but they were just empty boxes wrapped for decoration. Mistletoe hung from the ceiling near the tree and people stopped to kiss.

The air was light and the mood happy and festive.

Sleepless with Fear in Seattle @ 09:02 am

[info]nextgen_adult:
Current Location: Seattle

Dr. Stephen Strange, Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, hovered over Seattle in his astral projection form. Earlier, he'd seeded the city with very special Darkhold invitations, directed to those who would be easiest to turn to his will. There would be no exchange of innermost desire for a soul-destroying payment. Those who accepted would be his to twist and he intended to twist every drop of humanity from them to use in his spells to open the doorways for demons to enter the world.

The first screams were sweet. The next were savored.

Monsters were alive and devouring Seattle.

Spreading the News @ 08:10 pm

[info]living_dhampir:

Tyler had just learned what happened. The bar he and Rita had investigated in their search for a vicious Polish vampire, had just been burnt to the ground..and all the vampires inside were dead. He had to let Rita know, so he put in a call.

Sweet Chin Music (Meme 1-2) @ 07:40 pm

[info]devilonstrings:

"Praise to my father
Blessed by the water
Black night, dark sky
The devil’s cry
"

Hey, it's not the most typical for a jazz club, but Jo's not getting any serious complaints as she winds down her latest piano piece. All but one or two drunks in a corner who don't seem to like anything that's been played.

Nightstalkers vs Morlun: Endgame @ 12:47 pm

[info]nextgen_baddie:

It had taken Morlun considerable time since that impropmtu battle with so many unusual idividuals, but now he was healthy. He had tracked the wolf to a nearby park. He smirked lightly. He could also sense the totem of the one with the vampire bat, though he was a distance away. He couldn't sense if the other three were here, but it was a possibility. Did they mean to ambush him? It was an amusing thought. Even the five of them together could not best him. A surprise attack against the wolf was pointless at this juncture. Sometimes it was best to just be frank.

"Good evening, Mr. Price."

Regrouping @ 10:47 pm

[info]fullmoonfever:

Greg wiped down the mahogany bar with a clean rag in preparation of opening for the night. He had bought the bar two weeks ago and so far it had been keeping him extremely busy. He had the idea of buying an establishment before he went out to LA and after talking to his father the idea became more concrete. When he returned to Seattle he purchased space and got things set up. The Wolf's Den opened a few days ago and had been crowded every night since.

His staff, bartenders and waitresses, have done an excellent job so far and Greg had done well when he hired them. He finished wiping and threw the rag into the sink under he bar. They wouldn't open for a few hours yet, but right now there would be a few people stopping by.

He went to the door.

A Werewolf Walks Into a Bar In Seattle @ 11:07 pm

[info]fullmoonfever:

Greg walked into a bar called AFK and grabbed a stool at the bar. The bar was a hangout for local geeks, but beer was beer and that was all that Greg wanted. He didn't feel like the type of clientele that occupied normal bars. Tonight he just wanted a beer and quiet.

He ordered a Guinness and got lost in his own thoughts as he waited.

Here Comes Santa Claus (Independents) @ 07:53 pm

[info]nextgen_holiday:

Christmas. Yule. Saturnalia. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti. Many cultures have celebrated and still celebrate a winter festival. There have been many names for it over the millennia. No matter the name it is a time to come together and celebrate with feasts and gifts with friends and loved ones.

Each culture has a legendary figure who would deliver gifts to children during this time. In Russia and some Slavic cultures he is known as Ded Moroz, Grandfather Frost, and comes not on Christmas but on New Year’s along with his granddaughter Snegurochka, or ‘”Snow Maiden”. In the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe he is known as Father Christmas. In the Netherlands and Belgium he is known as Saint Nicholas or “Sinterklaas” and in France he is known as Père Noël. In the United States we know him as Santa Claus.

No matter the name or who is delivering gifts, it is the season of peace, joy and togetherness. It is the season for thinking about loved ones, friends and those less fortunate. It is a time to witness the goodness and generosity the human race is capable of. It is a time for peace on Earth and goodwill toward man.
