The Circle of the Crone Farm. On the outside a simple and quiet place. Yet the Strawberry moon is out tonight, hanging over the Farm with an ominous dark rose colored glow. For kine it might have represented the harvest of fruit, but for Kindred it represnts a different harvest. Instead of strawberries, it's blood that comes to Katya's mind as she sets up for the evenings' ceremonies and occasionally stares at the crimson colored orb in the sky. Like the previous book club, she's dug out the small torches and set them up to mark the parking area for those who travel by car, which most of them would have to given the Farms' distance from the city. The remaining torches lead off to the small path away from the farm and the greenhouse, five minutes walking distance into an opening with a circle of stones of various sizes and shapes. Most are waist high save for three that are the size of the average human.
Katya is sure to keep the flames of the torches low lit so as not to set off anyone's unconscious beast. While it would be a night to let the Demon out, the person who does so might not want such a thing to happen and so she tries to be mindful of that, particularly for the family of Shadows. At the moment, Katya is running back and forth from the Farmhouse to the altar, carrying as many hand crafted wooden stools as she can for the guests, not setting them in any particular order. She wears nothing but a loose black robe over herself for now, deciding she will change into her mourning attire once the ceremony is about to start. As she moves from one location to the other, she keeps her eyes and ears out for ( David Silver ) in case he needs any assistance. Each time she heads back to the farmhouse, she eyes the long driveway leading away from the farm, looking for any car lights in the distance to welcome their guests.
I've only tagged people I think Katya has mentioned the solstice to, but feel free to tag others who might be interested
