Intro: Lestat de Lioncourt

[exquis]

Hello all!
You may know me as Vanished, the person who plays Ronan Lynch (burningdream). I'm so looking forward to all the adventures we will weave now that I've got Lestat up here too! Feel free to drop me a line if you have any specific threads/situations you'd like to explore!

Hidden on the Lines

[parrishing]

For the last little while, Adam Parrish has been going out and exploring the City. Not in the normal sense, though - instead, he’s been seeking out what lies beneath the City. Not tunnels, but ley lines. Some Chosen already know these exist, and the odd citizen is equally as familiar, but none have the same touch that Adam has with them.

After a conversation with the Empress early February, he determined that the ley lines beneath the City were not to be trifled with, and after further exploration with himself and Ronan Lynch, it was determined that yes, that was accurate. Most individuals do already know this, in fact: it should come as no surprise that what has been rumoured as the main source of energy to the City (in some regard, at least) is dark in nature.

But as of this coming prominence, Adam will get cocky.

A couple of nights before the prominence shifts in the City, he will go out and do what he does: he tends to the ley lines. A rock is shifted there, a trench dug there, and suddenly, the energy throughout the City was moving better than ever before, as though a dam had been broken through.

There are two levels of things that will happen from that moment onward:

1. Adam will be more susceptible to demonic possession as part of a player-based plot and his personal development arc
2. the City itself will be permanently changed.

The energy that Adam released will permanently help the City as a whole, making the pull of sins stronger with each prominence and also bringing about an additional effect: once a week, characters will be inclined towards fulfilling a desire, regardless of what it is. This may be minor or major, ranging from stealing a cookie or treating themselves to a shopping spree to killing someone particularly vexing.

Additionally, characters may also find themselves suffering mild visual hallucinations of the City in ruins around them, though there is no indication given to whether this was what the City used to look like or what it one day will look like. These will continue for the foreseeable future, until otherwise announced. For those looking for actual dates, this will kick into action as of October 04 OOC / March 18 IC.

This is a mod-approved plot paired with approved City-wide changes. Please feel free to use this as a plotting post, and drop any questions under the appropriate top level!
