State of the City : Gluttony

[sinfulmods]

WEEK 27 : Gluttony
July 16 - July 23

”Gonna Party Like There’s No Tomorrow.”

Perhaps it’s because the City’s quieting down, but citizens and Chosen alike are finding themselves more inclined to imbibe this week. It feels like a celebration everywhere you go, and whether people are inclined to participate via food, drink, or generally getting as much good company as they possibly can, people are definitely participating.

(Players will decide how and to what degree their characters are affected by this and all of the dominance 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 20. Also, a reminder that we are on a 3:1 day ratio!

State of the City At Large:

- Weather in the City is back to being quite nice. It’s finally summer! Make the most of it!

- Word around town is that citizens are generally quite pleased with the Magistrates and how they’ve been dealing with things of late. Those living in the Coliseum District are oddly silent, but the rest seem content.

- There are also rumours that the Hanged Man may be making an appearance at the upcoming Masquerade fundraiser! Will he? One will have to attend to find out.

- The animals in the Gardens of Pleasure are relaxing just slightly, though they still seem to be on guard duty. As such, the district appears to be a little more safe than usual. There haven’t been many mentions of crime, violent or otherwise, nearby in the last week.

Questions? Like to arrange a meeting with an NPC? Fire away! Additionally, feel free to use this as a plotting post for the upcoming week.

Devi D - Plotting

[artistwithasickness]

Just so I can keep myself straight and provide anyone with a Thing..

17th - Masquerade Ball - Devi will be attending with Erik and wanting to dance. Get in there.
18th - Devi is getting reassigned to the Gardens - I'm open to any meetings as she moves between Periwinkle Street and Leisurebrooke.
19th - 25th - After her quasi-break up with Erik, Devi will be basically off the grid for a week. If you would like your character to have a conversation with her during this time, they're more then welcome to reach out, and I'll accommodate but there will be a notable absence at Leisurebook, as she won't be going to work.

We'll have to sort out what happens with our two; no matter the whos, whats, etc, the Magis always lose Tasha and Sylar's tail. Want to handwave this or play it out over the Network? I don't know what's going to happen with my other idea, yet. Still wait on Modly words. c:

[artistwithasickness]

YES!~ I mean- *cough* Since we... don't actually have much of any CR, I'd love to play it out and hoard the awesomeness that is your Natasha which I sporadically stalk.

As far as when, as I assume you're speaking specifically of the network so that Tasha doesn't have to show her face, the 18th would be ideal for a normal kind of conversation. If you want to set it anywhere between the 19th and the 25th, that's fine too but Natasha will catch a much more somber morose kind of Girl.

I'm open to whatever, I just like providing options. c:

[toxic_tsarina]

Hee, well, danju kindly. And I appreciate options!

I don't mind a face-to-face at some point, or even if their conversation goes in that direction. I'll throw up the initial Network starter this weekend for the 18th. Would you like a link?

[artistwithasickness]

Awesome!

Thank you, I would please!

[toxic_tsarina]

TA DA.

Uhhhh wait what is this quasi-break up with Erik!?!?!

/waits for the gossip, but I guess it's from the source so....

[artistwithasickness]

LOL Okok so - After Charles comes back to life, Devi's going to call for a standing break in her relationship with Erik. She's slowly ruining every part of his life, getting his friends and everyone around him killed, and things are moving at the speed of drama which makes her more then uneasy and a little paranoid about Feelings. So, a quasi-break up where they can both find their heads and make better life decisions.

We hope.

[intuitive_aptitude]

Awwwwwwwwww. YOU TWO.

But wait are they still together for the Charity masquerade?

[artistwithasickness]

YOU HUSH! /hides~

They will be, yes. All that isn't going down until the day after the masquerade. So there's still a little fun to be had

Interesting that Devi is planning to be on a runaway from work. Holden's been looking for a job recently and stumbled into Leisurebook looking for work. Any possibility that Devi might want to hire on some help to look after things while she's away?

[artistwithasickness]

omg hi

So, Devi doesn't run the shop, she just works there. The Owner is Millicent, an NPC that I puppet now and then. There is definitely a job for Holden if he wants it, and I'd love to get some CR while we're at it! Millicent needs a break and the store could use two bodies to keep it running.

Holden could also eventually encourage a comic section in the bookstore to, if you'd like something to do.
