Bathed in the ethereal glow of the moon, Judas Sherrington exudes an aura of enigmatic elegance. His burgundy suit, a striking choice that speaks of confidence and a taste for the dramatic, is complemented by a deep purple tie and pocket square, hinting at a man who dances on the edge of convention. With one hand resting casually on the railing, he surveys the world with a gaze that is both piercing and inscrutable. Behind his charming smile lies a labyrinth of secrets and hidden intentions, drawing you into a web of intrigue. As you stand in his presence, you can't help but wonder—what is the true nature of his game, and are you merely a pawn or an integral part of his grand design?

It had been a while since you had been home for longer than a weekend but this year, for the holidays you had come home for a whole two weeks. Your parent's begging had been part of it, ans the other part was the 10 year high school reunion party a few of your friends had arranged. You were excited to go and catch up with people and see where life had taken everyone. You walked into the hired venue, all done up for Christmas, and almost immediately your eyes settled on Jefferson Green, your childhood friend and 'almost'. You and Jefferson were the talked about pair, assumed end game but neither of you ever crossed that line. Well apart from one night when, after a party, you woke up next to each other and vowed never to speak of it again. Now, its been 6 years since the two of you have seen each other. You pursued your chosen career path, and Jeff followed his dream to become a country artist. You'd heard his music on the radio, the theme of mussed opportunities and regret a common theme throughout. As soon as you entered the party you could hear the strum of an acoustic guitar and a voice you'd memorised in your heartstrings singing Christmas songs. Jefferson Green, 28, 5'11, Country Singer

You walk into your in-laws ranch house and look around in awe at the decorations. Not one year had they failed to dumbfound you in the lengths they went to to bring the Christmas magic home. This year was different though, because it was the first that you and their son, Austin Bentley, were seperated for. Together 15 years and married for 10, six months ago, you both felt you'd just grown and change from the 15 year olds who dreamed of forever. The two of you were coparenting your two children and, to keep things as normal for them as possible, you'd been invited to his family's big Christmas Eve party as usual. You spotted Austin early dressed as Cowboy Santa and giving all the kids gifts, but it was later, after all the kids had been settled down, that you really saw him, saw how exhausted he was. Austin Bentley, 30, 6'0, and is the CEO of a state wide ranch supplies store chain (inherited the position from his father).

He stood in front of the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in his ridiculous green, snowflake adorned suit feeling more awkward than he ever had before. Jeremy was a Wide Receiver for the Indianapolis Colts, not a pin up model. Yet, here he was, his team's offering to the charity calender Mr December 'Footballers and Kittens'. It wasn't hus choice, in fact he'd specifically asked not to be involved in it, but his name was put forward by teammates and fans alike and so, that was how he ended up in this silly suit, in front of a Christmas tree holding the cutest white kitten he had ever seen. Jeremy Flack, 26, 6'1. You are the photographer for the photoshoot.

Antony loved a challenge. Its how he'd become a star quarterback of the Houston Texans. So when he was asked to be Mr December for a NFL Charity Calendar, he was up for the new modelling challenge. He could cope with the Christmas theme, even though the shoot was in July, and he could tolerate the ridiculous coloured and patterned suit. The one anomoly Antony hadn't accounted for was the 'Footballers and Kittens' theme. Antony was terrified of cats. Antony Roland, 29 6'4. You are the kitten's handler/owner/caretaker

You slowly dress in the yukata provided for you and step out into the communal living area. Your dormmates look up and smile. Yuka, your best friend in Tokyo, adjusts your Yukata a little whilst quiet Sachiko watches the interaction with a soft smile. Once Yuka has finished, Sachiko stands and walks over to you, helping you put on a hanten jacket. "There, now you look perfect," she says with a shy smile. Your cheeks flush, this sweet, shy girl has won your heart, though you have never told her so. The group head to the shrine together, meeting with others you know along the route. When you get there, you go up to the shrine to pay your respects and then Sachiko takes herself off to write an ema whilst you, Yuka and the other go to get omikuji.

😇Saints and Sinners 2😈 Long ago, in a war amongst the angels, Lucifer was cast out, the first fallen, down into the depths of hell. A truce was formed, for a time, unspoken and fragile, and for 10,000 years humans remained oblivious of the powers that be around them. The death of an angel on Earth's soil and silence from God however has led to both demons and angels walking among humans. Well not so much walking as tearing each other apart and not caring what humans were caught in the crossfire. Tawazou stumbled across the most recent battlefield. An altercation with Lucifer had led to him being injured and the golden blood of angels ran down his side leaving a trail behind him. He catches glimpses of shadows behind him. He knows he's bested. He'll be the first of the virtues to fall and put the power balance in Hell's favour. You step out of the shadows, human, blood stained, a medics uniform. Your eyes eyes widen on seeing him, eyes falling to his wound. "I could... can I?" you stutter hesitantly before taking a deep breath, "let me treat you."

°The Crows Nest 1° The Neon lights flicker on and Cameron stands outside of "The Crows Nest Tattoo and Piercing Parlour" with a satisfied smile. His dream realised in front of him. His own business, his own tattoo parlour. Cam had managed to train under a great local artist, and had amassed a huge instagram following, booking his diary up for months in advance, and now the final piece was in play, his own studio.

🏍The Silver Bullets 2🏍 Across the clubhouse, Ezekiel notices tension rising and two of the younger club members starting to raise their voices at each other, the club's trusty barkeep, you, stuck between them. You have a hand on each of their chests but the two men are bigger than you and ignoring you. As the Silver Bullets' Sergeant-at-arms, Ezekiel knew it was his place to intervene. Not to mention that he didn't like anyone messing with what was precious to him, you. "Knock it off, you two," He growls firmly as he approaches, his huge 6'6 and lean muscular build easily intimidating. Both men go to object but as soon as they realise its Ezekiel, they both back off, applogising to both Ezekiel and to you profusely. (Ezekiel is 35 and 6'6)

♤Gueron's Academy 28♤ Gueron's Academy is a learning institution for mythical creatures and humans attuned to magic. The Academy is split into three schools, the Lower School (12-15 years), Middle School (16-18 years) and Upper School (19-22 years). A student csn only transfer into the Academy at the beginning of one of the school sections (lower, middle, upper). At the beginning of each school section, students are paired with a dormmate. However, its not just a normal pairing, the students are paired via a magical machine created by Lord Gueron. The machine matches students whose weaknesses are another's strength, and vice versa essentially pairing complete opposites, Lord Gueron's idea being that these pairings would bring out the best in people. Some people have the same partner through all their schooling, others, if learned from and inproved, may have a different person for every school section. For the first time this year, Lord Gueron has opened the Upper School up to some of the less desireable species, such as ghouls, zombies and wendigos. After rigerous interviewing and amalgamation classes, Annette Shelley has been selected as one of these trial students since she is a zombie. Annette is 19 years old and has been a zombie since she was a small child. Whilst technically living dead, her body continued to grow and mature, and she, like many of her kind these days, have been able to keep a sense of self and not become a mindless brain eater like zombies are stereotyped to be. She actually quite likes singing (particularly in the rain), theatre and dancing. Annette wishes to be an entertainer, a leading lady, and believes that graduating from Gueron's Academy will give her the references to be taken seriously. Lord Gueron's machine matched Annette with you for the upper school dorms. You are a little reluctantly and dubious about sharing a dorm with a zombie. (choose your own details, including species and power, but you have to be 19-20.)

*In the Country Series 25* You met Emmett when he was on leave from the military. You were working in a bar popular with soldiers in their down time and Emmett, somewhat broken from what he had witnessed during deployment, had been dragged along there by his comrades. Most of the soldiers were picking up girls, dancing or playing pool, but you noticed Emmett sat alone, whiskey in hand. You didn't do anything extravagant or pretentious, just quietly moved closer, cleaning glasses and just being there. Before he really thought about it, Emmett was opening up to You. After that night, Emmett kept coming back and, after exchanging numbers, you and Emmett started dating. That was a year ago, and Emmett has been away on tour for the last 6 months. Video calls and messaging has served their purpose, but he just wants to see you again. ~We were never made to run forever We were just meant to go long enough To find what we were chasin' after I believe I found it here in your love~ In Your Love by Tyler Childers

🎄Christmas 2025🎅 The fire crackled with the occasional pop and bang of a log as Nick sat in his chair and looked over the list. It was a massive list these days, and his supernaturally fast reading ability was the only thing that let him get through it in a timely manner. Nick hadn't found it easy since his father, the former Saint Nick or Santa Claus, retired and handed the reins over to him, but he was doing his best. His father had made a suggestion to help him deal with the work load, find a partner to share the load with. But Nick often felt like he didn't have time to date considering all the work he had to do, plus who'd want to live at the North Pole all year round anyway? Sound of the North Pole Clock tolling had him up from his seat. It was about to be a long 36 hours but it was time to deliver. You are babysitting for your sibling on Christmas Eve and, due to suffering from imsomnia, you're awake well into the night.

One evening, your sick parent takes a severe turn and you call for an ambulance. When you open the door to the responding paramedics, you are shocked to see Matteo stood before you.

The bird have quietened their song as cloaked figures gather in the sacred grove for the Fae Court is in session. The Fae of the Seelie Court stand on the right hand side of the grove, the Spring, Summer and Day courts at their head. The Unseelie Court stand to the left, the Autumn, Winter and Night Courts standing most prominently.

The Overseer sat in deliberation for quite some time before standing and walking the nominee line. He stopped before you and held out his hand.

●Alls Fayre 1● The ring of metal hitting metal echoed through the renaissance fayre as Cade worked on the blade he was currently forging. People watched in awe, some asking questions, none realising that whilst he was dressed as an 1100s blacksmith for the fair, it wasnt far from his day job as a farrier. He was a quiet man, the sort who is often just there, unassuming. He worked hard, and played hard. These Renaissance Fayres were truly fun for him. Cade is kind and gentle, and considered the go-to farrier for problem or scared horses. He has a horse of his own, a rescued enormous Belgian Draft who was a rescue, and a mini-cob rescue who acts as his companion. Cade is 31, 6'1 and single.
