State of the City : Optimism

[sinfulmods]

WEEK 50 : Optimism
December 25 - 31
This week’s City-wide influence may be noted, by some, to come on slowly. It creeps up instead of hitting hard, and maybe it’s just an extension of all that festive spirit that seems to be floating around town, but it’s pleasant anyway. By the end of the week - and the year, for that matter - citizens and Chosen alike, there will be a warm sense of optimism: today is great, tomorrow will be better, and the new year is going to be utterly fantastic.

(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 February 14. Please remember that we are on a 3:1 day ratio!)

State of the City At Large:

The Weather
As of Christmas Day, the snow seems to have properly stopped. Most major roads are cleared up now, but there are still a handful of side streets that are less than accessible. Most people are dealing with the snow pretty well, though, and at least it’s nice to look at. Still cold, though, so stay bundled up.

Crime
There seems to be a larger influx of Lust infiltrating the City once more, vexing the CSPD thoroughly. A few Lust-related deaths appear to have happened, though there is nothing to suggest foul play or anything worse than an unfortunate accident.

The CSPD has reported that they’ve finally begun to catch up on the backlog of dead bodies. Congratulations, CSPD!

Rumours
Some fatalists in the City are saying the blizzard is a sort of ‘end of days’ thing. Apparently, no one wants this much of a white Christmas. Though considering it’s stopped, they can’t complain too much.

There’s talk that things in the Coliseum District are a little bit weird, of late. No one can quite pinpoint what it is, but citizens located in that district seem to be feeling a little more lost. Almost as though their Magistrate was somehow detached from the district. In a similar vein, there are whispers that something might have happened to Justice.

Rumour has it there was another attempted break-in into the Tower in recent days. Security has tightened up, but most guards posted around merely laugh and state that their Tower has the best security around. Apparently, no one can get in there that isn’t already allowed in.

There’s talk that the Emperor is planning some sort of extravaganza for the turn of the New Year.

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!
