- “That time of year thou mayst in me behold
- When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
- Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
- Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
- In me thou seest the twilight of such day
- As after sunset fadeth in the west,
- Which by and by black night doth take away,
- Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
- In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
- That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
- As the death-bed whereon it must expire
- Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.
- This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
- To love that well which thou must leave ere long.”
- ― William Shakespeare
- “Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”
- ― Edith Sitwell
- “Winter is not a season, it's an occupation.”
- ― Sinclair Lewis
- “The season was waning fast
- Our nights were growing cold at last
- I took her to bed with silk and song,
- 'Lay still, my love, I won’t be long;
- I must prepare my body for passion.'
- 'O, your body you give, but all else you ration.'
- 'It is because of these dreams of a sylvan scene:
- A bleeding nymph to leave me serene...
- I have dreams of a trembling wench.'
- 'You have dreams,' she said, 'that cannot be quenched.'
- 'Our passion,' said I, 'should never be feared;
- As our longing for love can never be cured.
- Our want is our way and our way is our will,
- We have the love, my love, that no one can kill.'
- 'If night is your love, then in dreams you’ll fulfill...
- This love, our love, that no one can kill.'
- Yet want is my way, and my way is my will,
- Thus I killed my love with a sleeping pill.”
- ― Roman Payne

"I have waited, locked in slumber, dreaming each minute to wake and feast my eyes upon my beloved. Now my time is here and my eyes open and find you more radiant, more overwhelming than I could possibly have imagined. With each joy comes a spike of sorrow as I realize the truth: My time is borrowed from others and I must have you to myself for as long as I can."

'General RP Hooks'
- Alala is Co-Owner and helps run the place. She can be seen lounging about or behind the bar. She's there a lot.
- She's a coffee fiend and ex barista. It's also close to home.
- Alala is incredibly friendly. Barring that, she's always (usually?) polite. Introductions are something of a specialty.
- Like so many newly Chrysalized Fae, Alala is a runaway. Abandoning a family that she no longer knew or understood, Alala has been on her own and on the run since she was 16 years old. Family members, private investigators or cops, oh my!
- You gotta do, what you gotta do. And when times were tight, living on the streets more often than not, Alala picked up the skills she needed to get by. These include the know how to do some breaking and entering, lifting wallets or valuables and some con work. Were you a victim? Did you lose something special? Are you on a hunt for the one that got away?
'Fae RP Hooks'
- Infiltration specialist sounds better than just 'thief'.
- While mortals are considered fair game, to the Fae world, Ionae's skill sets have been used in the past to retrieve previously stolen items, and hunt down the thieves or missing items. Was there something you stole that she stole back? Was there a misunderstanding and you just think she's a thief?
- Countess Ionae might as well be four sidhe in one. Each time the seasons change, she changes with it. Her form, glamour and personality all shift to personify the dominant element of the season. Spring is Air, Summer is Fire, Autumn is Earth and Winter is Water. In the Summer she tends to be a bully and prone to rage, in the Winter she tends to fall in love only to forget and get distracted come Spring. Were you ground beneath her boot heel or witness to her Godzilla impression? Are you an old lover who never got the 'yeah, it's not you it's me' phone call because she just didn't think to tell you she was leaving?
