State of the City : Sloth

WEEK 30 : Sloth
August 7 - August 13

Apparently coveting thy neighbours’ possessions takes a lot out of you, because the City has slumped into a sense of exhaustion. Normally vigilant citizens are now nearing the point of saying ‘fuck it’, and everyone else seems to feel like it’s nap time. Maybe it’s just the heat, or maybe it’s the summer blues creeping up. Either way, not much is getting done.

(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 December 22. Also, a reminder that we are on a 3:1 day ratio!

State of the City At Large:

The Weather
It’s looking like there’s something of a heat wave this week in the City. Not that anyone’s really complaining, except that it appears to be making everyone terribly lethargic.

Crime
What seemed to be a dip in violent crime of any form was apparently very brief. Between the continuing robberies - which seem to be partly alluding the city police - and the fact that some of the robberies are getting progressively more violent for unknown reason, most districts are proving a bit more dangerous than usual. The Magistrates are doing what they can to keep the citizens safe, but there’s only so much they can offer. Shantytown and the Red Lantern District are proving the most dangerous, with notices to not go out alone or at night, if possible, and only the Tower District remains immune. Allegedly, at least.

There have been a couple of random dead bodies found in the Gardens of Pleasure, each looking very much like they’ve been torn into by wild animals.

Rumours
There’s talk running around of some kind of festival being in the works for the end of August. People seem excited about it, so hopefully that means it’s not going to be a tragic event.

Additional Notes
The animals in the Gardens of Pleasure remain on their easy guard duty. Despite this, there’s a touch more violent crime happening, usually away from the prying eyes of the animals. Or trying to be done away from their prying eyes, at least.

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.

One day her real identity needs to come out, I think. Just not sure when or how to go about it.

No plans with Widow, really. I forget we're not on real time, so August isn't significant, so far as I can recall.
