State of the Game : Hysteria
WEEK 41 : Hysteria
October 23 - 29
Sometimes, the City does things that could be taken in one very specific way. Others, it does things that could be taken a multitude of ways. This week’s influence appears to be one of the latter, with the sensation of hysteria taking over from paranoia. But hysteria can show up in a number of ways: escalated paranoia, giddiness, excitement. Maybe half the fun had by the City is trying to see how people respond. And how it can play with that.
(Players will decide how and to what degree their characters are affected by this and all of the prominence shifts to come. It is entirely optional to be involved with the prominence events. This will last for one in-game week and end on August 9. Please remember that we are on a 3:1 day ratio!)
State of the City At Large:
Questions? Like to arrange a meeting with an NPC? Fire away! If you wish to arrange a meeting with an NPC, please give the mods details on what you’d like to achieve so that we’re capable of providing.
Additionally, feel free to use this as a plotting post for the upcoming week!

State of the City At Large:
The Weather
As the days creep closer to Halloween, the days become slightly warmer. Almost as though the weather is trying to lure someone into a false sense of security.
Crime
There seems to be a larger influx of Lust infiltrating the City once more, vexing the CSPD thoroughly. No related deaths have turned up yet, but they’re not holding their breath that that will remain true.
Rumours
Some of the smaller black market groups in the Gardens of Pleasure and Shantytown seem to have disappeared. It was noted by some that they were getting more and more bold, trying to shift wares in more public spaces. That seems to have been nipped in the bud. Thankfully.
Some individuals have reported sightings of strange shadows lingering just out of their peripheral vision. They can’t quite say what they are, but it feels very much like they’re being followed. Additionally, there appears to be an odd amount of static electricity going around. Watch that you don’t get zapped when meandering around.
Additional Notes
The Magistrates aren’t hiding anymore so much as they’re keeping their heads down to repair the damage caused by the Darkness and the demons. Oliver has stepped up as the interim Hanged Man, which few seem surprised by, though there are words going around about why he hasn’t been made official.
