State of the City : Guilt

[sinfulmods]

WEEK 46 : Guilt
November 27 - December 03
After last week’s tendency to lash out, the City seems to have offered a bit of a balm: even if they weren’t as harsh as they could have been last week, citizens and Chosen are now contrite. Maybe they didn’t even do the thing they’d been accused of, but taking responsibility is the mature thing to do! If it happens to fester into anxiety and guilt that follows them around all week, then so be it.

(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 November 22. Please remember that we are on a 3:1 day ratio!)

State of the City At Large:

The Weather
The snow that fluttered down at the beginning of the week has now decided to settle in for good. All reports suggest a blizzard is moving into the City, and temperatures are definitely down in the colder range. Make sure to dress appropriately!

Crime
There seems to be a larger influx of Lust infiltrating the City once more, vexing the CSPD thoroughly. No related deaths have turned up yet, but they’re not holding their breath that that will remain true.

Crime has generally settled into a constant state, with people apparently sticking to what they’re doing. The major crime rings know what they’re doing, the shadow demons still present know what they’re doing, and no one is really branching out.

Rumours
Rumour has it that the citizens of the City are still sending Temperance their dollhouse furniture, though there’s no news on how much he actually likes it.

The rest of the City is oddly quiet. No news on whether or not this is a good thing, but we can only hope.

Additional Notes
Yusha, a new Chosen-run lounge, is opening up as of November 26.

Peter would like to make an appointment to see the Emperor. He wants to discuss the state of the Chosen here, and ask for more details on their situation. Having talked with other Chosen, he understands that the City is probably feeding off of them in some form, that the Magistrates can't say some things, and that he's unlikely to make much headway in talking with the Emperor. But he's Peter, so he wants to try anyway. He'd like everyone to be at least a little more happy. And that means more understanding, and maybe more freedoms.

Ultimately, he wants to try and negotiate with the City to let people choose to leave if they want, but that's more of a long-term goal. He might tell the Emperor of his intentions, though, if it seems like there's a chance.
