cityofsin_ooc | State of the City : Lust

WEEK 32 : Lust
August 21 - August 27

The shift in emotion isn’t quite as abrupt as it was last week, though it was a bit more of a jolting shift. During the end of the week, some citizens or Chosen might find themselves torn between fighting someone or fucking someone, though it evens out once the weekend hits. Instead of being the stark emotional influence it normally is, it seems to be something much deeper, like a low-key desire to simply have someone. Make of that what you will.

(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 February 2. Please remember that we are on a 3:1 day ratio!

State of the City At Large:

The Weather
Temperatures have evened out, though they remain a bit too hot to be ideal. Too bad it’s not one of those ‘cuddle for warmth’ situations.

Crime
The latest crime spree of violent robberies going on around town has dropped. Not significantly, but sources are reporting that a couple of the culprits have been caught, a couple more found dead, and others simply scared straight. Things are still ongoing, but again with slightly fewer casualties. Those criminals still out there seem smarter than some of the others. Things are still clearly dangerous, particularly in Shantytown and the Red Lantern District, and the Tower District still remains apparently immune. The police are said to be working on it.

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.

Some citizens seem a touch confused when asked how they are this week, like they aren’t entirely sure about the answer. Stock answers are typically given after that, but initial reactions may read to other citizens and Chosen as odd. Weirdly, this is continuing from last week, though with completely different people.

Additional Notes
The animals in the Gardens of Pleasure remain on their easy guard duty. It’s said to be making the Gardens a very safe place to be, at least from some (potentially misguided) citizens.
