State of the City : 'Advesperascit'

[sinfulmods]

WEEK 61 : 'Advesperascit'
March 11 - 17


Things, of late, have been far too light in the City. At least according to someone, somewhere, anyway. For better or worse, things are shifting drastically in the opposite direction: citizens and Chosen alike will notice that they’re just that more inclined towards accepting darker thoughts for what they are. Even if it’s something as minor as speaking their mind in a slightly more hurtful fashion or as major as fulfilling those ideas that are typically considered more ‘sinful’. Oh well.

(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 October 03. Please remember that we are on a 3:1 day ratio!)

State of the City At Large:

The Weather
The Ides of March are upon us all, and with them comes a slightly less pleasant bout of weather. Though it’s nice enough at the beginning of the week, the weekend brings a two-day rainstorm that only clears up in the wee hours of the night, ushering in another gloomy week to come.

Crime
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. Possibly more annoying than usual.

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.

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.

Rumours
Security around the Tower’s immediate area remains tight and probably will stay that way for the foreseeable future. Just in case.

There’s allegedly a small group of City natives who are growing increasingly more paranoid, to the point of setting up soapboxes and shouting out their concerns that the end is nigh. It’s sort of weird. Do they have a point?

In a similar vein, there’s word that the sin-based shadow demons are feeling particularly vicious of late.

Additional Notes
Keep your eyes peeled for a plot announcement soon!
