State of the City : In Repose

[sinfulmods]

WEEK 57 : In Repose
February 12 - 18
Those more in tune with the City’s ebbing and flowing emotional influence may realise that this week is something of a week off: things are oddly calm. No one can quite figure out why, but it’s definitely causing a bit of paranoia in some citizens (and probably some Chosen) - after all, who knows what might be in store next week?

But for now? Perhaps a bit of rest is in order.

(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 July 11. Please remember that we are on a 3:1 day ratio!)

State of the City At Large:

The Weather
Spring-like conditions are hanging around the City, though there’s a bit of a cool breeze, and the snow still lingers in most spots. All in all, it’s a very pleasant week, but bring your scarf.

Crime
The usual gang activity is kicking up in Shantytown, but the police say they have their eye on it. Maybe don’t go out too late at night.

There’s a group of young hooligans harassing individuals wandering around the worse areas of the Gardens of Pleasure, but they don’t appear to be harmful at all. Just annoying.

No one can really pinpoint the source of it all, but every night at midnight, there’s a very strange stirring of energy for about five minutes all across the City. For those out and about around this hour, keep an eye out for an influx of shadow demons.

Rumours
Security around the Tower’s immediate area is still tightened up, but most people don’t really want to hang out there anyway. No one’s complaining.

Rumour has it that the softness in the City might be stemming from the strange sense of balance and rightness settling in. Some suggest it has to do with the Empress, while most shrug and accept it. It’s made the City sort of…nice of late.

Additional Notes
There is an upcoming Valentine’s Day event! Keep your eyes out for it!

Something Romantic This Way Comes

Event: Something Romantic This Way Comes

A few days before Valentine’s Day, an invitation goes out to everyone in the City, citizen and Chosen alike. This establishment doesn’t discriminate, after all: some of those Chosen are as regular customers as the citizens are. In fact, the establishment in question is a very nice apothecary and pharmacy, home to innumerable herbs and potions ingredients, crystals, other miscellaneous occult knickknacks, and general cures for what ails you.

For the holiday, such as it is, it appears that they’ve set up a small party to celebrate, and everyone is invited to join in. There’s said to be drink and music aplenty (with a bit of food floating around, too). Everyone loves a party, after all, and this one is largely for publicity. Their popularity has been waning of late.

One employee of the store, however, doesn’t see any of this as a good thing. He’s a little disgruntled, you see, and once he found out about the event going on, he takes it upon himself to create a handful of potions. These potions are set up around the party as filled chocolates, advertised as ‘something to share with your sweet’ and toted as a very hot ticket item for the evening.

As for anyone not interested? Well, have fun at the party anyway!
