    Summary

    “I don’t see why I have to go,” grumbles Maomao as Xiaolan dresses her.

    “Of course you have to go! You are the consort of the Moon Prince, my lady!”

    Maomao has still not met the emperor’s younger brother. She almost doubts his existence. There is a slight curiosity in her mind as to whether or not he will attend this garden party. Though, honestly, she much prefers him as a spectral figure than a flesh and blood one.

    Summary

    May is an energetic magazine columnist who walks into a bar, but in lieu of a punchline, she finds a pesky couples-only policy in place for Valentine’s day that prevents her from entering. Drew is a stranger who has a cynical outlook on romance, but the joke’s on him when he finds himself volunteering to be May’s date for the evening so that she can get in and get her article written. It’s just a single fake date. A work obligation, really; a one-evening-only performance that neither of them will have to attend ever again.

    But the acting’s coming a little too naturally, even after the curtain call.


    Or, a fake dating fic in which a chance meeting with a stranger, a brief agreement to be partners in crime for the evening, and an unexpectedly real spark begins to blur the line between facades and fondness. All the world’s a stage, and method acting is dangerous business.

    Summary

    “May, I don’t think you’d know flirting if it hit you in the face,” Drew stated simply, amusement shining in his eyes.

    “What? Yes, I would!”

    He smirked and raised an eyebrow. “Are you absolutely sure about that?”

    “I am absolutely sure,” she mimicked, “That I’d know flirting if it hit me in the face, yes. Though, you’re the one who knows all about getting hit in the face, huh?”

    He laughed, a bright sound that broke through the morning silence; but it was shortly followed with a sharp wince of pain. Drew looked back up reassuringly after a moment, meeting May’s concerned eyes. A small smile lingered on his lips. “Yeah, well. Whose fault is that, hm?”



    Or, a stray snowball. A bloody nose. Idiot teenagers. An underpaid Nurse Joy. A soft conversation. Ensuing shenanigans.

    Summary

    You are cordially invited to attend her Lady of the Manor, Cleo Zombie Clocker’s 50th deathday party this weekend. This year, alongside the usual meal and activities, we will also be organising a little game.

    Attached you will find a card describing your role and a brief description of your character. You can engage in actual role-play as little or as much as you like, but please do dress up in costume.

    RSVP by Friday and do let us know if you have any queries or want to make any changes to your character.

    (P.S: There will be one mortal present, so please don’t attend in any form which might induce madness or other maladies upon a mortal should they witness you. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.)

    ~*---*~

    (in which Cleo’s throwing a murder mystery party to celebrate her deathday, Grian gets far too invested in his role as detective and Scar wants to take their situationship and make it a relationship. Oh and also they’re all Halloween monsters, that’s probably important.)
