03.2023 | WELCOME BACK! Hello friends old and new! I'm so excited to welcome you all back to SITW! I've made some changes to the plot and added the ability to play supernatural charcaters! So come and check it out! I can't wait to jump back into this little town with all of you!
A strange history surrounds the town, it is a place where mysterious and supernatural things have been known to happen. The reputation of the town reguarly draws in visitors and newcomers alike. While some residents avidly believe in the supernatural, others are far more skeptical. What do you believe?
According to her GPS, Lucy wasn’t far from the Villa where she knew her dear friend Lorelle Irving was currently residing. In Sweetwater Colorado, of all places. Of course she could have written to let Lore know she was aiming to visit, but Lucy preferred to surprise her oldest friend, especially when she hadn’t seen her in at least a decade. Lucy had spent much of her time traveling, completing different college courses and familiarizing herself with the ‘events’ relative to this current time. Sometimes, she missed the ease of things when times were simpler.
Thankfully over the years, Lucy had made some very smart investments and didn’t ’have’ to work unless she wanted to. Generational wealth, and all that jazz. Though, she did enjoying working as a teacher, especially in the smaller towns she’d visit and linger in for a few years. After two-hundred years of this song and dance; she’d grown rather accustomed to knowing when she needed to leave. And with things like the internet and social media popping up; that time frame had to be shortened and much more closely monitored over the years. Maybe she needed to take a note from Lore’s book and enjoy seclusion a bit more sometimes.
Still, when she finally arrived at the destination of the Villa, she can’t help but be very impressed with the site of everything. And a little nervous that she perhaps should have called ahead or sent a letter at the very least. Not that she couldn’t hold her own against vampires, but it was probably a better idea to at least have them expecting the visitor and not show up as an uninvited guest. Still, when she knocked and explained she was here to seeing Lorelle, she was permitted to wait outside while Lorelle was located. Her very curly red hair and those green eyes would be an immediate giveaway to her friend. Lucy wore a simple white milkmaid style sundress, strappy sandals and a necklace with her engagement ring and wedding bands on it.

The Villa was relatively empty. The evening had started to fall, so most of the vampires used that as an opportunity to go outside and do whatever it was they did. They were cautious, and didn't feed in town as to not make their existence known, but they did go to bars and events to mingle. She had never been a fan of that, so the woman had stayed in the Villa. There was always something that could be done.
That particular evening, she was sitting in front of the fireplace with Arturo Diaz de Frontera's shirt on her lap. She was embroidering some decorations on the collar, inspired by the matador culture he had told her so much about. The red and black yarn had made a swirly pattern in the collar, and now she was contemplating adding yellow details to really make it stand out, but still keep it subtle so it wouldn't be a pain to look at.
When someone entered the room to tell her there was a guest at the door for her, she frowned. The vampires that lived here came and went as they pleased, and it it wasn't a vampire, she wondered who it was. Had that werewolf from a while ago tracked her down? She doubted it. The woman got up and gently placed the shirt down on the chair before walking towards the front door.
Lorelle peeked outside, and it took her less than a second to recognise the woman standing there. "Lucy!" she exclaimed excitedly before running the remainder of the distance between them and wrapping her arms around her Banshee friend. She would chuckle while hugging her, holding her for s moment before pulling back to look at her. "What are you doing here?!" It was an excited question, and not an accusation of any sort. She would take her by the hand. "Come on in, if you want! Or we can sit outside, although the sun is starting to set."

Luciana was enjoying the sights offered from the porch of the Villa, it was quite the grand house. She could only imagine just his spectacular the ground were. Her piercing green eyes taking in as much as she could, finding that the setting sun cast such a lovely orange glow about the place. She was rather partial to orange, shaking her vibrant curls with an amused smile.
Her thoughts were interrupt by a familiar voice and she couldn’t help but offer a wide smile as she turned to see Lorelle. “Lore!” She exclaimed just as enthusiastically, throwing her arms around the beautiful vampire and unable to help the waves of relief that washed over her. She always loved seeing her dearest -and oldest- friend. “Well, I was needing a change of scenery and it had been too long since I’d seen you, so I figured I would surprise you!”
Once upon a time, Lucy’s Irish accent was nearly impossible to decipher. But after a few couple hundred years of being alive: her accent was much less intense and more of a ‘romanticized’ lilt to her voice than anything else. “Wherever you’d prefer, I’m just thrilled to see you! And of course, you’re as beautiful as the night I met you.” She gave a playful wink with her soft smile.

The two women were obviously very happy to see each other. She had told Arturo that she had written an old friend a while ago, but hadn't expected her friend to turn up. They hugged each other, Lorelle's face decorated with a wide smile. She couldn't remember the last time she had smiled so big.
If she hadn't known about Lucy's past, she wouldn't have been able to hear the very subtle Irish accent. It was probably almost unnoticeable to regular people, but because she knew, she was able to pick up the faintest hint of it.
If there was blood in her body, she would have blushed. Could vampires blush? Anyway, Lorelle was flattered. She chuckled lightly, almost melodic, and would gesture for Luciana to follow her. She would walk through the house, walking a tad slower to her friend could look at the grand hallway, before she would show the way to the backdoor. The terrace was quite nice, and had a beautiful view of the garden. "I prefer outside then, now that the sun is setting." She smiled and would wait for her friend to sit before doing so herself.
"I can't believe you're here. This is such a nice surprise." She smiled again, almost a bit emotional. Then, a bit more serious, she furrowed her brow. "But you're okay, right? It's a sudden change of scenery."

Lucy returned Lorelle's smile, her green eyes sparkling with fondness and a hint of mischief. "Lore, it's been too long," She said, her voice carrying the faintest lilt of her Irish roots. "And you know me, I'm always up for a surprise visit."
As they walked through the grand hallway, Lucy took in the surroundings, her keen senses appreciating the details. "Your place is as stunning as ever." She remarked, her tone warm and genuine.
Once outside, Lucy settled into a chair, the cool evening air feeling refreshing against her skin. She gazed out at the garden, a serene smile on her lips. "It's beautiful out here, Lore. You always did have an eye for beauty."
She turned her attention back to Lorelle, her expression softening. "I'm alright, truly. Just felt like it was time for a change, and where better to go than to a dear friend?" Her smile widened, her playful nature shining through. "Besides, I missed you, and it's always nice to see a familiar face after so many years."
She reached out, taking Lorelle's hand in hers, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Don't worry about me. I'm tougher than I look. And now that I'm here, we can catch up properly. Tell me everything I've missed."
