The House of Midnight feels far larger when LongNight drapes itself across Caido, when the lanterns in the rooms and the fire in the hearth is the only warmth around for what feels like miles. Sure, the Refuge is only a walk away, but with vast stretches of darkness between here and there, it feels much, much farther. ISLA |

SUNJATA angel loves to keep me spinning, much too high to see
that all these chains have started thinning & hell is breaking free There’s always been a love hate relationship for Sunjata when it comes to LongNight. His first LongNight here, Lusea had returned. He’d also helped burn down the old bar. The next, he’d spent it in Torchline, away from the monsters but with its own set of traumas. Eventually, it had turned into one of the years Nate left to help rid the Grounds of the monsters, been kidnapped by his father shortly after that, only to be rounded out by a good LongNight before he was gone forever.
So maybe, just maybe, Sunjata’s hiding himself away, trying to ignore the majority of everything else. It helps with Isla here, but the wood still creaks and he can see the Luxere in the dark, glowing, thriving amongst the snow. He’s focused intently on getting the bed situated and the desk on the opposite side, and when Isla steps up the stairs, she’ll find him tucking the last of the blankets for the bed on top of it, aglow by the lanterns in the room, revealing a small sheen of sweat from the work he’s put in. So used to the Refuge, he doesn’t harbor a hold on his shifts, and with it the spiral of horns extends from his skull, curling around his ears from his dragon shift, the only indication of his awkward discomfort around the season. “Look’s livable.” His accented voice rumbles as his gaze lifts to her and offers a small smile. “How’s the clinic coming along?” every choice, every lie, demons that he kept inside angel now that i've stopped spinning, could you come clean? Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like. the Remedy

SUNJATA angel loves to keep me spinning, much too high to see
that all these chains have started thinning & hell is breaking free There is a soft laugh that sounds almost warm when Isla lifts off the things in his room that have made it a ‘home’. “Certainly have all the essentials.” He adds with a soft laugh, a shrug of a shoulder as he finishes up and stands a bit straighter to stretch out his back, eyes following the blankets and the books she brings.
His gaze lifts as she answers about the clinic, though, and his smile twists to something softer — understanding lingering in his look. “Good. You might have to if I pull a muscle.” He teases her lightly, a soft amusement humming out of him. He settles once he’s finished stretching, though, he sits on the bed, feeling the weight shift as he glances back at the book she offers out. He leans across to peer at it, raising a brow. “I was under the assumption you would.” He murmurs softly, as if it would alleviate any worry she might have. “Is this your favorite out of the two?” He asks, peering at the cover before his gaze lifts back to her, acceptance for her plan to read the night away with mystery romances if she wished to. every choice, every lie, demons that he kept inside angel now that i've stopped spinning, could you come clean?

Like that shapeless, smoky, vapor-looking thing in the distance. Unless, you know, you want to go approach it.
It moves with no real purpose, floating along above a couple treetops, before carrying on, as if nothing happened at all. Phew! You’ve encountered a Enenra. This counts as a rare creature encounter for the purposes of levelling, but does not count as a Random Event for levelling or MP. There will be no further admin/re intervention. If you choose to follow this creature, you do so at your own risk, however, just having it in this thread is enough to satisfy your levelling requirements. (You may not kill your rare creature without admin permission. ) Enenra (rare/mythical) - Cousins of the Banshee, Enenra are creatures of smoke and vapor who possess a shapeless form, when the attack they generate a physical body of any appearance they like. the Remedy

SUNJATA angel loves to keep me spinning, much too high to see
that all these chains have started thinning & hell is breaking free A low hum of agreement slips from Sunjata’s lips at her admission, a slight nod offered. Even with them being in Torchline for a time, Sunjata and Nate hadn’t often ventured outside during LongNight without a good enough reason. “After LongNight.” He agrees, offering her a lopsided smile with the way the scar tugs up. One that twists to a soft laugh as she says he’d likely pull a muscle.
It would be his luck. He scans the book cover before asking her if it’s her favorite, flipping it open to the first page as he scans the title. His lips part to say something right when he notices the tension in the air and his gaze shoots up to the window, too, and as Isla’s hand touches his shoulder, the skin beneath it starts to change with his interlocking plates of his dragon shift, covering his chest and arms and up his neck. “He did.” Some creature like a banshee but not, evidently, certainly one Sunjata didn’t want to take chances with. The book is set down and he stands to go and draw the curtains over the window in the loft, pulling them tight to block any viewing from outside, as if it were a LongNight monster and this was just a few years ago. When he’s satisfied with the covering, he turns back toward the bed, trying to soothe his thundering heartbeat beneath the jagged, scarred plates of his dragon partial shift. “There. Just like all those LongNight traditions, we’ll just keep the curtains closed.” every choice, every lie, demons that he kept inside angel now that i've stopped spinning, could you come clean?

SUNJATA angel loves to keep me spinning, much too high to see
that all these chains have started thinning & hell is breaking free “As am I.” Sunjata offers with a soft huff, turning back from the windows and the shadowy banshee-esque creatures out around the brothel in the snow. His gaze finds her again as she picks up the book, catching her gaze as the question hits and he immediately nods, even if the truth of the matter isn’t entirely right. He isn’t exactly okay, but he isn’t bad either. “I’m fine. Just not a fan of LongNight.” He offers a small smile with a roll of his shoulders in a shrug, the plates knocking against each other with the movement before he tries to will it to hide under his skin.
The horns stay, though. He can’t quite push those away just yet. As for the bar, though, they do have more windows down there to close the curtains to, so he offers her a nod and a hand to start heading out of the loft. “A drink sounds nice. And we can close up the rest of the curtains on the way.” Make it a more official LongNight, after all. A few curtains get closed on the way down, Sunjata not taking the time to peer out the windows before closing them, sure that he’d rather not know what was out there, before the wide expanse of the bar is in front of them and he immediately moves to step behind it to grab a couple of glasses. "A shame neither of us could get the luxere's to hang around." He adds absentmindedly. every choice, every lie, demons that he kept inside angel now that i've stopped spinning, could you come clean?

that all these chains have started thinning & hell is breaking free “I had one.” He offers unhelpfully, trying his best to reminisce on the one single LongNight that hadn’t been bad. Truthfully, the worst of it had been the snowball lobbed at Nate’s head when Locke had dropped by to get out of the darkness. Still, neither Sunjata or Nate had trusted it all that much, and he supposes when faced with the terrors of LongNight (even the small amount of times he had) it sticks with you. “So far so good.” He offers about this LongNight. If that was the worst of it, Sunjata’d be glad.
They get downstairs, however, and Sunjata and Isla work to shut the blinds and curtains, before he’s grabbing a couple of glasses and a bottle of something relatively cheap, pouring a bit into both glasses before setting hers on the smooth surface of the bar for when she returns. “Partial to singing and those that are pure, wasn’t it?” He muses, before huffing a sigh and taking a sip of his drink and feeling the burn on his tongue and throat. “But unfortunately, I am not pure and I can’t sing.” A rumble of a chuckle slips from him, before he exhales into a sigh. “I hope so.” He draws a bit quieter, glancing up at Isla. “Were you a part of it to end it for good?” His horned head tilts slightly. every choice, every lie, demons that he kept inside angel now that i've stopped spinning, could you come clean?

SUNJATA angel loves to keep me spinning, much too high to see
that all these chains have started thinning & hell is breaking free A hum of a chuckle manages to slip from Sunjata’s lips as their glasses clink in a small toast, sipping from it and relishing the light burn in the back of his throat — numbed a fraction from the drink before. He doesn’t expect her to pause and almost choke with his comment, but it does manage to bring a twitch of his lips in amusement. “I think we can manage it, between us.” He tips a wink toward Isla with another rumbling laugh, before leaning back slightly on the stool behind the bar as he readjusts his legs.
The smile falls, however, at the mention of her being with Nate and Kiada, and his gaze scans her face for a moment. “Hm.” Is all he can offer, incredibly unhelpfully, until she mentions that she’s been thinking about Ancienting. Now that is an easier topic for Sunjata to muse on, and he cocks his head slightly as he peers at her and thinks. “Why not Ancient? I mean… What do you get these days by remaining Ascended?” He doesn’t mean for it to come out harsh, and he realizes it with the wince that crosses his face. “I just mean that, the Voice is gone. The connection there and the upgrades aren’t something you can hone and work on any longer. And if you’re worried about how you’ll handle everything coming back to you, you won’t be alone.” He’d be there, to help her should she need it. And at the very least, she’d be able to taste and smell and get drunk again.
