Hello, Londoners! Bit hot, isn't it? Blimey, you might even get a tan at this rate, assuming you're not a vampire.

But there's no time to relax and enjoy the sunshine. No. This is the third and final week of the hunting season in the Other Realm and the magic of the hunt is about to bleed into all of London...

Basically, if you're a predatory type, your hunting instincts may be sharper than usual this week. By how much? Not a lot, we're not talking rabid wolves or losing self-control here, but conditions are perfect for hunting. You can feel it in the air. Hunters of all kinds can expect good fortune – yes, that includes humans who track down other supernatural species too.

As for everyone else... try not to be lunch. Welcome to London.

Prompts

1) HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF. Bare those fangs and sharpen those claws. You're feeling a little... peckish.

2) THE WHITE HART. The hunt for the legendary White Hart has begun. Fae hunting parties compete to pursue the beast, and upon its capture much merry-making ensues. Should a party pass through into the mortal realm during this hunt, they will appear as drunken louts searching for a pub.

3) HUNTING PARTY. No reason to let the fae have all the fun! Choose your quarry, gather your team and pursue your prey. This could be a serious hunt-to-kill party or something more light-hearted.

4) CAPTURE/KILL. The moment you've been waiting for. Your prey, cornered. Do you allow your instincts to take over and let rip?

5) I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS. I just got to London and now I'm being chased by a vicious pack of supernatural beings. FML.

6) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. What's the first thing you see when you set foot in London? Make up your own scenario here.

That was true enough. "Some are changed, some remain mostly the same and some are not celebrated by more than a handful of mortals." Halloween was still quite rousing in America. And Yule coincided with the massive Christmas celebration. Beltain though, not really even a footnote. Litha also seemed forgotten. Likely new holidays would spring up soon enough. Mortals always enjoyed a celebration.

Perhaps someone just needed to whisper to a script writer about something to bring it about again as well. Movies were very influential.

Azula was a bit of a snob where entertainment was concerned. Movies were dull, and TV shows were inane. The theatre remained interesting, though some of the more modern uses of it were irritating. Still, traditions were kept in different ways. She couldn't speak to the western world, however.

"I don't know much about North American and European holidays, I'm afraid."

Mab touches her lips with a napkin and tilts her head a little. "Well, such things are easily rectified." In other words, Azula can hit a library if she wants the full rundown. She lifts her plate as someone slides a mug across the table to another fae and then sets it back down. It's a little like eating at the Mad Hatter's tea party.
