June smiled brightly, pleased that Jin seemed to be thankful. She peeked over Jin's shoulder, looking at the place they were being indicated. "Auuud...auditorium! Yes! Auditorium. I can take you there." She said. June stood up straight and looked around. There was Phoenix...he did not need to know that she was helping Jin. June could take of new students too, even if people didn't want her on the Welcome Committee. No one needed to know. June wanted to be helpful. Besides, it's not like Phoenix, or any other Welcome Leaders would actually be the new students friends. They would just leave them to where they needed to go and be all respectable and trustworthy and distant. June could be more than that. Jin was new here. She needed a friend! June could be that for her. Even though June didn't know the new person's name yet. She would ask them later. If she remembered. Maybe on the walk over?

"This place isn't big! You're just small. You will see, you'll love this place like a new home." June said cheerily. "It is this way!" With that, June went to take Jin's hand into her own and potentially drag them to their new destination.

Annie's parent's house

Annie's concern turned to fear as she heard Willow mention that not only was she adopted, Willow had also recieved a letter about it. This was a strange time. She felt in the air. Everything was coming together and something bad was going to happen. She felt her legs lock up. Right away she wanted to tell Willow no. No, Willow, I'm staying here. I'm too scared to go outside.

But that would be humiliating. More importantly, what kind of friend would she be if she did that? Willow was asking for emotional support. It was the least Annie could do.

"Y-yes. Yes, of course. You can tell me all about it. I'll be- I'll be right there." She began to gather up her things. Annie began to prepare her things, slipping her shoes back on and opening up the garage door. She glanced over at Doug and motioned for him to stay put. He didn't react, which was either a good thing or a bad thing. There was a simple brick colored car on the inside the dark garage. Certainly nice, bought for her by her decently well off parents, but nothing too flashy on the outside. Annie didn't want to embarass herself by showing off.

"Let me just- I should be over there in fifteen or so minutes. Like always." She laughed lightly, referring to the many times she had visted Willow's childhood home. Willow could probably hear Annie hurrying and rushing around, the garage door opening.

Blood's Jewels (High Casual Fantasy Revolution)

Camp, in the ruined house

Dareen was an expert sleeper.

Some people didn't really understand what that meant. But years of pseudo-military service made the mercenary quite skilled at falling asleep quickly, and waking up at the drop of the hat. It was one of the few things she didn't regret. When she was a child she would go to sleep tired and wake up even more so. Now, she was skilled. Great at it, even. A light sleeper, who could immediately return to sleep once the danger had passed. It was far more magical than any Craft, in her experience.

Dareen blinked her eyes open, watching Fatima literally tip toe out of the house. Some of the others were gone, too. Mikhail was on watch. Bellinar, too? It was somewhat dark. Other than that, nothing but the ambient noise of the old house. Dareen was underneath a blanket, a feather stuffed pillow beneath her head, hood removed, a simple cropped tunic and trousers as her pajamas. Everything else on her had been vanished. What a convenient Craft. Truly a marvel. She didn't know how she'd live life without it.

Well, Fatima was probably just going to take a piss, or something. If anyone saw anything they could easily make enough noise for Dareen to be up and at it.

What a strange dream she was having. Wearing that dress had really messed with her head, apparently, because she had a dream where she was Ranina, and living in a house with Johan. A Johan that didn't look like Jandar, but instead a scruffy looking pot-bellied fellow who ate too much and smiled without it meeting his eyes. So, really, it was more of a nightmare than a dream.

Dareen looked down at her blanket and saw a bug on it. She flicked it off and then lay down on her pillow, staring up at the dark ceiling. Her life had certainly taken an unexpected turn. These people were an odd bunch. Or maybe she had just spent too much time around cutthroats and sellswords and didn't know what real people were like. Yet still, the only person who knew her past was Faeril, who hadn't spoken of it since. All she had done, for years, was kill for money. Now she was fighting for...something else. Why? Not even she truly knew. But she wouldn't speak of it. When Fatima had asked, she learned something about the origin of her intricate tattoos but nothing more.

This was why she was thankful of her sleeping skills. No more of this thinking. There was plenty of boring daytime to do that, nighttime was for sleeping and drinking- and she was all out of ale. It was time to shut off her brain and get some rest. Closing her eyes, Dareen breathed in deep, and in a few moments she was back to sleep.

Most people walked by, which was fine. A part of June understood why some people would be put off by her but for now it didn't matter. Eventually, though, she caught someone's attention. A small and skinny freshman who looked very lost. They were fumbling with their map, trying to read and walk. Very hard to do. June shot up from her seat as Jin approached, but then crouched down a little bit and then straightned up slower, trying to somehow undo her initial quick movement. Smiling she walked out from the other side of the table and went to Jin's side, almost bumping into their shoulder.

"Yes? You are looking for something?" She asked quickly, her accent sharpening her S's and th's. "I have been going here for many years. Many years. You are new here, I can tell. Your map is torn. I can fix it for you?" She said it like a question, but it was clearly more like some kind of aggressively friendly demand. June snatched the map from Jin's hand and ran her long pale fingers over the tear. After a moment she pushed it into Jin's chest, and the map was good as new. It had even unwrinkled itself and the ink shone on the page. June smiled brightly and brushed a strand of hair out of her face and it just as quickly fell back infront of her eyes.

"But you are looking for somewhere? Ooowd, auuud, awwwd..?" The brunette was trying to finish the noise Jin had made. Finally June relented and allowed her newest friend to get a word in. She crouched closely over Jin's shoulder and scanned over the newly created map. The bright red rose had enroached on Jin's peripheral vision. If there was something June was good at, it was navigating this school. Right? She was pretty sure she knew where everything was. If not she could just use this map her new friend had. She should ask their name. She should probably introduce herself. Zut! Well, too late now, she could do it later. She had already asked Jin some questions so she would have to wait to get answers. Hopefully Jin liked the map now that it was fixed.

Summer was an interesting time for June.

On one hand, it was when she was free. No more rules, no one feeling sorry for her, no one knows she's a Star. She could do whatever she wanted. This year, she even got to drink alcohol for the first time since she was allowed too. That was fun.

On the other, she could do whatever she wanted. That kind of freedom was paralyzing. Too many things to do, why even bother? There was no one looking out for her. She could make a mistake. But people like her- the black stars- the..."corrupted" Stars. Her type were kept under closer watch than most. So she was sure that people could come out of the woodwork and put a bag over her head if she went loony.

June didn't want to go loony. But people looked at her weird. Tank tops are comfortable but if she wears them people can see some of her chest which means they can see some of her black star. It's very black. June didn't like that. She wished it was white, but it never did. It just stayed black, like a tattoo. Ink. Jet black on her bright white skin, it was matte, absorbed the light like a black hole. That was why today she was covering it up entirely with a t-shirt. She just wanted to have fun.

So that's what she was trying to do. The above thoughts had plagued her for a while but now she was staring excitedly at the new students, wondering if any of them would be her friend. The way she acted could be seen as...unbecoming, of a woman who had fully entered adulthood. June grinned brightly, sitting on a wooden table, watching the students pass by with her wide eyes.

"Hello! Bonjour! Hola!" She called out, waving rapidly. June was wearing a dull yellow t-shirt and a pair of skinny jeans. Her black hair was tied up into a ponytail, her bangs falling hap-hazardly into her face. Tucked behind her left ear there was a rose, fresh and beautiful like it was plucked straight off the vine only minutes ago. June wasn't on the welcome committee but she was in spirit. The problem was that the Welcome Leaders were all well informed and sociable, and figures of reliable, relatable semi-authority. June was definitely not those things. She had caused problems in the past when it came to interacting with new students...but fortunately for everyone she had somewhat mellowed as she grew very slightly older.

June spotted Phoenix briefly and giggled. He was outrageously orange. Eveything from his hair to the Welcome Leader shirt. It made her eyes hurt just looking at it. A phoenix was a big, flaming bird. That's what Phoenix looked like right now. He couldn't hide anywhere. He stuck out like a pylon in headlights.

"Hello! Do you know the way? I can show you around?" June tried to catch the attention of a nearby student. She was off-puttingly welcome, and not wearing the uniform of a welcome leader. When she spoke, she spoke quickly, with a very slight accent denoting her homeland of France. Some of the people walking nearby were practically children but June didn't mind- even if they almost certainly did. No bright orange shirt, no tacky nametag, just a red rose and a big-toothed grin with impossibly white teeth that seemed to catch the afternoon sun.

Annie's parent's house

Annie frowned. It sounded like Willow was sad about something when she asked what if she had a minute. "Uh, yeah, of course. What's up?" She asked, concerned. She turned down the news on her TV, not paying too much attention to the news of recent killings, at least not with her friend on the phone. But those two things combined quickly as Willow explained to Annie what was on her mind. Annie looked at Oak Park and the murders and was scared for her friend. This was a horrible day! Hadn't the detectives mentioned the killings absentmindedely while they were here? Did the strange kidnapping man and his strange illusions have anything to do with it? What about the letters?

"Oh, my God! Are you okay, Willow? That's terrible!" Annie exlaimed, standing to her feet and putting a hand to her forehead, pacing around her empty house. Doug looked up at her and then closed his eyes again, laying on the couch. Here she was worried about some weirdo when Willow could have been hurt, or even killed!
