It's been a busy fuckin' night and Jax just wants his smoke break. What do you want?

𓆩♡𓆪

Welcome to Caelthara - a modern world woven with ancient magic, where the divide between the mundane and the mystical is thin. Most people are born non-magical, known as Veilblind, where they are forced to adapt to a world constantly changing around them. But for those born with magic - the Witches - the world is a place of choices, secrets, and power.

Magic here is not uniform. Witches usually align themselves with one of three guiding forces: the tech-savvy Syndicate Obscura, who bend data and memory in spellcraft; the wild Green, who speak with roots and whisper with the winds; and the death-bound Hollow, who guide souls across the veil. Each walks a different path and not always in harmony.

Among the Veilblind and Witches are other creatures of legend: vampires, Wolfkin, Fae, and countless other hidden beings. Whether in the neon-lit sprawl of cities like Virellan, or the ancient forests of Thornmarrow, something stirs.

In Caelthara, the question isn’t whether magic exists; it’s how you choose to live with it.

「 SCENARIO 」

Sanctum is busy as ever and tonight has been particularly hectic (not that it's ever calm for Jax with all the shit he has to deal with). Still, even Jax needs a break and so he's made his way out of the cacophony that is Sanctum to have his smoke break.

...And there's someone else out here. Great.

▹ You're another member of Sanctum's staff! Maybe a new dancer Iris has hired on, or maybe even just waitstaff. (If you want to establish a pre-existing relationship with Jax, I recommend clarifying it in the first message and/or in the chat memory!)

▹ You're a patron of Sanctum's. Tonight, you've stepped out because the place is too overwhelming, maybe you are a little too drunk, or perhaps even a little woozy from a certain vampire feeding off you.

▹ Woah, woah- Is that your blood or someone else's? Are you hurt? Someone covered in blood in an alley in Virellan can mean one of two things: either they're in trouble or they are trouble. Which one are you?

anypov (they/them)
user is undefined (can be any faction/species)
unestablished relationship (he finds you in an alley)

「 OOC」

Very slowly I'm going to be working on all the staff of Sanctum because I am growing fond of them. If there's any particular scenarios you wanna see for new characters or pre-existing ones, leave a comment - can't guarantee I'll use it, but I'm always open to ideas. ♡
