State of the City : Normalcy

[sinfulmods]

WEEK 42 : Normalcy
October 30 - November 05
For some reason, things are abnormally quiet this week in the City. No one can quite pinpoint why, but it feels to some like a weight’s been lifted off their shoulders. Most people, however, are not knocking it in the slightest.

(Note: This does, in fact, mean that there’s no prominence this week, though the absence of prominence could also mean weird things for the City. Make of that what you will, Sinners.

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 30. Please remember that we are on a 3:1 day ratio!)

State of the City At Large:

The Weather
By the time Halloween rolls around, things are looking downright balmy again. It’s almost like summer has rolled around again, so hopefully everyone’s costumes are light and airy.

That said, as soon as November rolls around, things are back to normal, dropping abruptly overnight and surprising the City with a rather intense thunderstorm, the morning of the 1st. Things even back out afterwards, though remain drizzly.

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.

The odd influx of strange shadow-creatures lurking in the shadows seems to have been enough to deter most would-be criminals. Things are rather even thus far.

Rumours
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.

There are rumours floating about that the Magistrates - more than one of them! - will be attending this year’s Halloween Party. People are very excited to hear what they have to say.

Additional Notes
There are two events ongoing at the moment: the Halloween event, and the related player plot. Please feel free to refresh your memory as to what’s going on in the City of late.

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!

Hey everybody!

This is Mel. If you've been with City of Sin since it was established you might remember me. I played Blaine Anderson from Glee as well as an assortment of other super gay losers.

And now I'm back with another super gay loser!

Cyril here is from Dragon Age. He's the player controlled main protag from Dragon Age Inquisition. He is literally a walking spoiler for Trespasser the final DLC for that game that came out almost a year ago. Because of that, if you don't want to be spoiled for that DLC I would suggest avoiding him until you play.

There's literally no way for me to talk any more about that without giving it away, so if you would prefer no spoilers please let me know so I can make sure he only interacts with your characters in ways that wouldn't spoil it - voice posts are always fun!

As far as details, Cyril is a Dalish elf who stumbled upon a ritual that marked his hand and tossed him in the middle of a war. He tends to take all of that in stride. This is him:



My plurk is theangstmonkey. You can contact me there or by hitting up Cyril's journal! :D
