Hi, pals! So, the tl;dr version of this development is that:

• Wanda is going to brb; she's currently spending some time being dead. Her first actual death in the City, what a rite of passage.

• When she returns, she will no longer have that alien stuff in her from her run-ins on the jungle planet and messing with the weird cult there.

• There are two Magistrates left in the City: The Sun and the Empress. The newer magistrates have been killed by the Sun, via Wanda, also killed by her. While Wanda will come back, the magistrates will not. Things are being shaken up in the City and the Sun is showing just how trash she is so, err ... meet your new asshole magistrate taking over in place of the Emperor (who was our #1 asshole magistrate until he was killed by a PC some months ago). The Sun is also taking over those four new district 'openings', so she now has six under her control. This will be reflected in the NPC page in the next day or so.

Look out your windows, true believers! Harry Dresden is about to make a little noise, and a lot of light.

***

Coming soon to the Tower near you(February 23rd-25th/January 3rd) will be neon pink and green painted sparkles everywhere, only appearing as the sun starts to set, and glowing brightly all night. And along the side will be simple words.

'THE CHILDE OF MAN ALWAYS RISES. NEVER STOP FIGHTING.'.

Late the next day, the paint and words will be gone, as mysteriously as they appeared.

***

But the next day(February 26th-29, March 1st-5th/January 4th-6th), not satisfied with the light show, Harry will be exerting himself to make sure nobody goes to the alien planets od doom, death and misery. A little hexing and a lot of will power, and pushing himself a little too much, will leave Harry unconscious for a few days.

And it will leave the travel pods nonfunctioning for the same three days.

Have fun, notice, or don't!

Hello Sinners! I've got a winter/holiday city-wide event for you and your characters to enjoy and/or suffer through! Looks like the City is hungry for some Christmas Cheer this year and NO ONE CAN ESCAPE. (Just kidding you can opt out if you really want to.)

Starting a week before Christmas day, (December 18th IC, January 6th OOC) enchanted mistletoe will appear in random places around the city, hung in doorways, hallways, under traffic lights, anywhere high enough that people can easily walk under. This mistletoe can be destroyed or removed, but will grow back in the same or nearby spot within 4-8 hours, and it seems the more that is destroyed the more comes back in the general vicinity. Like a Hydra you cut off a head, two grow in its place. Have fun playing with that mechanic!

When two people stand under this mistletoe at the same time, even if just passing through at the same time, each character will get the unavoidable urge to either kiss or hug the other character. What kind of kiss or hug is up to each character and player but it can’t be resisted. Hooray!

There will also be new snowfall starting the same day the mistletoe appears. This snow will also be enchanted and perfect for snowballs and snowman making. When exposed (by touch) to this enchanted snow, characters will feel a sense of playfulness and wonder as well as a warmth that brings good memories of past holidays or traditions of family and friends to their mind. How characters react or respond to this is up to you and them, but the purpose is to give them something that makes them generally happy (even if bittersweet) and festive.

Everything is back to normal come Christmas morning, except each character upon waking will find a wrapped present addressed to them nearby containing an item from home. This will be an item that should bring generally positive feelings to your character, even if complex. It shouldn’t be something that brings too much angst. Good will and cheer and all that jazz.

Any questions, ask below in the comments!

Please also reply to the gift request thread to clear said gifts with our mod!

Hihi, everyone! This is for anyone who wants to do some OOC coordinating regarding the most recent installment of Wanda's alien bullshit plot (here is a closed log that elaborates more on that video post).

→ For our new players in game, this is the first plot we've had in game that's starting to delve into the alien origins of the three new planets, and I hope there's many more proposed by people who want their characters to explore some alien lore! Wanda's has been focusing on the jungle planet. It's not too late to jump in on this one, either.

Hey Sinners! Lily here bringing you another player plot. This one is an oldie but a goodie and much fun can be hand with it. It's called the Dreamscape event and it's open to everyone who wishes to participate.

For those of you who aren't familiar, it's pretty easy. Your character falls asleep and begins to dreams. Pretty normal, right? Well, not exactly. Within the Dreamscape plot, there's someone else that's been pulled into the dream, as well, and remembers it when the dream is over.

This event is scheduled for November 2 - 10th, OOC / November 26th-28th, in game.

OOC Info

- Can I opt-out? Yes! If this isn't your kind of plot then no worries! Participation is not mandatory.

- Who can dreamwalk on my characters dream? Whoever you like! It can be someone close to your character or a person they don't know very well or even at all. We suggest taking the time to plot things out. This kind of event is also great for establishing new CR!

- What should my character dream? Whatever you want them to! Is there a person or place that your character loves that's only in their homeworld? What about a certain event that took place in their life? Maybe a secret you (as the player) want to come out that your character won't talk about or divulge to those they are close to in the City? The possibilities are endless and can range from heartwarming to terrifying. And you don't have to limit it to one dream. This event spans three in-game days!

Any other questions? Drop it down below!

Feel free to create top levels in this post for your character(s) for plotting purposes!

Just an OOC plotting spot for anyone that I might not have on my plurk.

So Angel & Wanda have over the last few months been investigating the Jungle more extensively, as well as beginning to build a base and weapons testing area for some of Angel's more ridiculous weapons. In that time they've learned a few things like the aliens are running experiments to build human-animal hybrids, and the last time they were there - they were joined by Steve it's almost like he remembers what happens last time Wanda was on the planet and found a trap door.

Which they then investigated.

Turns out that the trap door leads to a secret meeting room of a cult! Who are very upset that there are strangers in their meeting!

Also, their God is there too. Apparently Cthulu isn't the only Eldritch being lurking around, oops. At which point, Wanda is going to accidentally knock herself out, leaving Angel and Steve pinned down and in need of some help!

The plan is roughly, an IC network post for people to react to and do any planning icly they might want to. Then a log for the rescue a day later and so on.

Hi, pals! I'm placing Wanda on hiatus for ... an amount of time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not an indefinite hiatus since those aren't permissible in this game, but more of a 'partially because of plot reasons for things that are still being worked out, I don't have exact dates yet, so TBD'. That said, once I do have things worked out, I'll update the OOC comm here with a return date, and I can say it'll be no less than a month in real-life time.

By October 7th — which is the start of November 17th in-game — she's going to get hit with some magic that'll separate her soul from her body and effectively place her in a magical coma. WHOOPS. She can't help going back to the jungle planet for more answers and information about what happened to her the last time she ran into alien trouble there.

If any players with magically-inclined and-slash-or magically knowledgeable characters want to use their magic on her or investigate her state to see if they can get any information about the source of the spell, or anything like that, hit me up on plurk [plurk.com profile] psylocke or PM.

Reminder

imtalkingtoyou: (qZb45B18)
[personal profile] imtalkingtoyou
Just wanted to remind everyone that the network is being swapped over to a Chosen-run network. All information can be found here.

The short version is the network will go dark for approximately 45 minutes - an hour during the latter part of the morning on November 9th (this Friday, September 13th), in-game. Chosen will not be able to call, texts or access to the directory or other features during this time. After that, a network announcement will go up announcing the changes.

Thank-you to those who were able to take part!

So Resident Victorian Assassin Jacob Frye, runs a gang called the Rooks. Angel, in the background, runs the books, helps out with some long term planning & is the extra muscle for it from time to time. Which they're starting to gain some traction, and is beginning to get noticed so it's time for him to show off a little, make a claim that they are serious and are here to stay. But they aren't the only gangs in the city! No there are lots of nefarious under-worldy types running around. So you know what that means? TIME FOR SOME ILLEGAL STREET RACING.

This will be held around September 18th in real-time / November 10th game time, (other events permitting, not a set in stone date by any means).


  • ICLY: The word is going to go out, unofficially on the street so to speak (think word of mouth, weird text messages on burner numbers, addresses scribbled on walls with times) that the race is going to be held down at the docks at a warehouse carpark by the beach. Out of the way, but easily cleared of all pedestrian traffic after hours. It's neutral territory and a place for some of the gang members to stretch their wings. Drinking, drugs, a chance to show off some NICE™ cars and a moment to win some cash money. Whilst this is going to be organised by the Rooks, anyone is allowed to come as long as they won't start nothing.

    There will be some background flexing of politics between the gangs - which your character is totally allowed to get in on or completely ignore. If you would like to do some background ground reading, however, I did a full write up on the gangs that will be featured here! Which a note from me: I wrote these up as NPCs for anyone to use or reference, I am happy to flesh out any questions you might have, but also feel free to do whatever the hell you want with them.

    At the end of the night, predictably, the police are going to show up to break things up. So it'll be time to high tail it out of there. Cue chase scene montage, and time to find a hiding spot until it stops being a hot spot.

  • OOCLY: If you're NOT interested in the racing, then all you need to do is tag in when the logs go live and have fun. Easy-Peasy!

    If you ARE interested in doing the races, I thought this would be fun way of doing it:

    Basically pick the race (or races) your character would compete in. Then when the log rolls around I will stick all the names in the hat for each event and draw them out the "winner" for each race ahead of time. ICLY, each character will need to chip in something into the pot that they're willing to lose but is worth $$$. It can be straight cash, it can be a flashy diamond ring, it can be a shiny new iphone XVII, something that is worth money, obviously, but it doesn't have to be their life savings. Obviously, no pressure on it being anything important, it can be something as weird as you like. The winner for each race is going to get the money and the items that were put in for that race. :>

    There are three kinds of races!

  • 🚥 STOPLIGHT DRAG RACE:
    Pretty simple, a stretch of road is cleared out at the starting line is the traffic lights. Rev your engines, get those cars heated up, and when the light turns green, PFWOOSH off you go! Fastest person wins!


  • 👿 BEACH DAREDEVIL:
    Cars line up on the beach and speed towards the water. The goal is to get as close to the water as possible without driving your car straight in. The closest person to the water that didn't sink themselves wins. This is a test of nerves vs confidence.


  • 🍩 SPINNING DOUGHNUT:
    Do a doughnut! The person who does it the most badass, flashy, over the top doughnut but doesn't totally lose control of the car, wins!


  • Please take this little form and head on down to the comments to sign up to a race! :>




    Questions:
    My character doesn't know Jacob or Angel, can they still go? YEP, they might be organising but it's a free for all. They have little to no control of who turns up on that end.
    My character likes cars but doesn't know how to drive/doesn't have a drivers licence? Eh, neither do Angel or Jacob. This is criminals. Just don't get caught. Hell, crash a car if you wanna, and that's a start for your character to be dodging criminal types. By all means.
    My character won't drive, and doesn't care for cars, can they still go? SURE CAN. This is as much about making contacts in the criminal underworld. Feel free to have your character just schmoozing.
    My character doesn't have a car, will they be able to compete? That's why all the gangs are there! They need drivers for their fancy racing cars. It's also totally fine if your character would have a car they have been customising and they would be bringing it along.
    Will there be any IC consequences? Not if you don't want them too! I double-checked with the mods and they're fine with it happening and it wouldn't cause any long term problems as a whole.

    But of course, remember the most important rule:

    SNITCHES GET STITCHES

A-YO City of Sin, Lily here to bring you some information about an ongoing plot that some of our computer savvy characters are involved in that will, inevitably affect the City, by and large. For those who don't have me on Plurk, let me give you the rundown.

Over the past month, Elliot here has been quietly working on why exactly the City network can't be hacked. So, after talking to some people, came to learn that the Magistrates do not take kindly to the Chosen poking around where their noses don't belong and tend to make the Chosen's business their business. What does this mean? Well, it means they are listening and watching everything your character does.

And what do we say? OH HELL NO.

In an effort to gain some control, Elliot (along with his secondary personality, Mr Robot) are assembling a group of people to design a power source and server that will allow them to effectively switch out the Magistrate network for a Chosen run network, which will be, you guessed it, completely secure and off-limits to any poking around done by the Higher Ups.

What changes? Not much. In fact, not only will the Chosen network include secure text, audio and video with privacy filters, but also game and music apps that will allow anyone that comes to the City with their own device the option to share their music with other Chosen (think Spotify) and other possible options that are similar to other features you'd find on a mobile phone.

OOC Info

* Is there an opt-out? Seeing as the plot has been approved by our rad moderator and effects the entire City, no. But honestly, you'll want the new network. It's going to be WAY better.

* When's this all taking place? Things are low-key happening right now, however, it will all conclude on November 9th, in-game (September 13th, 14th and 15th, OOCly), the Magistrate network will go dark for approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour (look, we have professionals on this ahem) and bam, a network by one of the group will inform the Chosen of the changes.

* Is it too late to get my character involved in this? They're computer/tech savvy! Not at all! Just let me know in the comments section below and we can get them on board.

* Can my character make a request for specific features or options? As long as our fearless mod leader doesn't object, yes they can! If you think your character would make a suggestion/request, post it down below and I can doublecheck.

Any other questions? Ask down yonder :)

Hello, everyone!

A couple of OOC months back Ratonhnhaké:ton/Connor here took a ship out to sea to check if they could get anywhere. (Spoilers: They couldn't. They just came back to the city.)

Now comes part two of sea adventures! Since above surface didn't yield any results, it's time to look below surface. The ship - called the Jackdaw, which was left in this city by Edward Kenway AKA the grandfather - is equipped with a diving bell. So, no, Ratonhnhaké:ton hasn't learned to dive with a diving suit. They're weird. But he has learned to dive with a diving bell, so that's what he's going to do.

Shit will go down. I'm not telling you what.

This happens this weekend, OOC dates July 27 - 29, IC October 24. Yes, I had in fact meant to put this post up earlier, shhh.

ANYWAY. This plot is open to literally anyone. I don't care how you would explain your character coming along. We could assume they've met Connor and he's let them know about it, or they could have seen the crew getting the ship ready to sail and gotten curious. Anyone who wants is free to also dive down, whether they use magic powers or diving suits or the diving bell to do so. Honestly, do whatever you want.

Feel free to comment on this post if you want in. Or just wait for the log and comment to that.

Hello, friends!

I've been talking about this for a while and I'm finally gonna actually do the thing! For those of you who don't know what thing I've been talking about, let me explain.

Connor here has a ship. It's an 18th century brig, but it's a good ship, Brent. It's the Jackdaw from Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, left in his hands after his grandpa Edward Kenway left the City. And now he's gonna take it out into the sea! Or, you know, on the surface of the sea.

He made an IC network post a while back about it, but in case anyone didn't reply to it or wasn't even in the game when it went up and you still want in on it, please let me know! We can either thread out a thing or handwave that your character was invited. Most of the crew are gonna be NPCs that I'm just gonna decide Connor has befriended around Shantytown and the docks, bc he works there.

ANYWAY. So towards the end of May OOCly I'm gonna make the first log for it. This actually isn't going to be all that exciting, bc they'll basically just sail out there to see how far they can get, and somewhere along the line get turned around and end up back in the City.

Then comes the fun part! I've been told by the dear mods that there is something under the water. I have no idea what it is, but we're gonna check it out. So after their first failed trip of finding nothing of value, Connor's going to spend some time practicing diving with the diving bell on the ship. It's gonna be a little cold, but that's fine.

And another few IC days after the first trip, he's gonna head out with the ship again! If you'd also like to get in on the diving, you're very welcome to do so, especially if you have any kind of magic or abilities that makes the whole thing easier.

TL;DR we're taking an 18th century brig out to sea to explore. Who wants in?

The OOC plotting post for these shenanigans should anyone need or want it.

As stated in the linked post, characters can steal weapons and/or intel from this. If your character is inclined to want to do either — or both! — of these things, PM the mod account ([personal profile] sinfulmods) stating if you want weapons/intel/both, and the mod will tell you what your character can find. This is so you can get things that your character would find interesting to them (or not if you wanna make a special request for them to get something stupid) to poke at for plot, and to keep track of who has what.

Any questions regarding can be brought up in the first top level to this entry.

Seeing as there's an influx of people who want to work for the police force — in various positions — and since somehow, my little weirdo has been tasked with running the police, I have a proposal for some fun potential CR.

There are at least 4 PCs, and maybe even 5 or 6 PCs who all are talking to Gabriel about jobs right now.

1. Once you all pass your interviews, Gabriel is going to want to start partnering you up, because that's what he's seen on TV, but also because that's how the paramilitary organization he spent a little time with did things. If you're interested in this, can you let me know here? And if any of you have preferences for who you're paired with b/c you want to build CR with that person, I can just make up a random reason why Gabriel would put you two together.

2. Once you're partnered (or not) — he's going to be interested in giving you missions. Now, usually these won't conflict with our crime-committing PCs, but sometimes they will, depending on what's happening. He has a few things in mind, but if there's something you specifically want to play, let me know too, and I'll just magically have Gabe be on the same page.

For reference, here are all the PCs I know about so far who have explicitly expressed interest in joining the force and are in the process of getting a job here:

- Homicide: Mystique (aka Raven) + Chloe Decker (+ Lucifer)
- Drugs: Jill Valentine + Felicity Smoak
- Robberies: James Norrington
- Fetch Walker?

If I should add you to this list, even if our tags haven't gotten your character to an explicit ask yet, please let me know!

----- updates! ------

1. Gabriel is also looking for an assistant. Someone who isn't trying to be an officer or a detective, but who just wants a job and is real organized. Kate may take this job???

2. He may be asking Erik to come back to the force soon. So if that makes your characters want to work there more, feel free to factor that in. But that isn't going to go well. Erik won't be able to have that job.

Starting on mid-day of August 31st until September 6th (Feb 14th - March 5th), something strange is afoot. Characters will find themselves 'twitterpated', foolishly under the grips of what seem to be Love. Be this an intense affection, a powerful passion, or a friendly appreciation, it's whole-hearted. This event will take the place of Prominence for this IC week, so it will be the only thing to struggle with.

What happened?

Some idiot (Cassidy) threw an extremely powerful love potion into the bay. As a result, the potion's magic is seeping into the City's water supply. Any character who comes in contact with the tainted water may be affected.

'May' be affected?

Yup. This is a totally opt-in player plot. There will only be trace amounts of the potion in some of the City's water, so it'll be easy to say that any one person dodged the proverbial bullet.

So about these effects...

There are three potential effects from being hit with the potion. Feel free to pick one or more based on what you find most interesting and fun.

LUST: When the spell's effect hits your character, they might decide that moment that they want the person they're with, or the person they're thinking about. They really want them. As many times as possible, until the effects fade.
DEVOTION: We are talking about a love spell, here, and there's more to love than sex. Maybe when your character is affected, they find themselves with a different sort of feeling for the person they're with or thinking about. The kind of feeling that says, "You mean the world to me. I'd do anything for you. I'd die for you." And they'll definitely want to let them know, in their own words or ways.
COMFORT: No matter how your character felt about the other before, they now see them as a tremendous source of comfort. They'll want to be with the other character as much as possible, and time spent apart will cause distress. Unlike the lust effect, they won't necessarily want to get physical, just be near the other character for as long as they can.

Can I have the effect(s) apply to multiple characters?

Why not? If your character happens to be with or thinking about a group of people at the time, the spell might not be so picky. They may also experience lust for one person, devotion for another, etc.

How long will it last?

The spell is incredibly powerful in its pure form, but it's been so diluted that it won't last forever. It may not even last the week. You can choose to have the effects last anywhere from one to seven days.

What do the characters know about this?

Basically nothing. Cassidy will have no idea that his actions precipitated this, and since the spell could be transferred from any sort of contact with water, it'll be hard for anyone to narrow down. That said, if someone did think to test the water for magic, they wouldn't be prevented from discovering it. But even if no one does, the effects will eventually fade on their own. In that case, it'll have just been another weird week in the City.

--

Have fun!

Magneto's move on the City is imminent. Here is what involved parties will be doing so far. If you want to be involved or you would like to position your character somewhere in all this but NOT with Erik or you want your character to do something other than what Erik has determined, please let me know below.

Erik's Plan

Physically Infiltrating the Tower
Erik
Devi
Eliot
Wanda
Zach
Ace
Kurt
Handy

Eliot and Wanda will be tasked with magically binding the Heart once they reach its chamber.
Zach will be cutting off the guards' access to their location with walls of ice.
Devi and Erik are the point attack in getting through resistance (guards etc) and getting them to the Heart's chamber. So is Ace if he wants to be in this part. He has also been involved in Support, below, getting info on weapons that work on natives like the guards and on Magistrates.
Kurt will be their backup escape plan and also help get them in.

Devi (and possibly Ace) may also break away to accomplish something else...?

Devi and Zach are getting an outfit from Wanda. Ace does NOT want one. Does Eliot want a team outfit?? Does Kurt?? Does Handy??? (See Erik's armour above; they come with swag capes.)

Support
Charles
Sylar
Rhys
Diana
Airy

Charles will be positioned in an abandoned shop not far from the Tower. He's on surveillance and will keep an eye on security and also on what's going on outside the Tower and communicate with Erik's team inside. Airy will be assigned to protect Charles while he's vulnerable, with his mind not really focused on where his body is at.

Sylar will be creating a violent distraction elsewhere in town right before the main attack happens in order to draw attention away from the team infiltrating the Tower.

Diana will be holding an outdoor concert on the other side of the City and use her vampire hypnotism to draw as large an audience as possible as a distraction.

Rhys gave Erik quite a bit of intel on the Heart and Tower security.

Miscellaneous
Sarah

Sarah will be making sure everyone is well fed and coffee'd before the mission. And that Charles and Airy have sandwiches to eat while hanging out in the dark shop.

Need More Info
Diana
Handy
Kurt

Do they want to be involved? What capacity do they want to be involved in?

Other
Steve
Kate
Airy

Steve is getting involved with Rhys' shelter and helping civilians. Airy has joined the cause. Kate is also going to help with the shelter and any casualties and hang out with people who enjoy shit talking Erik. It's the right thing to do.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Please let me know.

Or, as I call this plot, "Erik, No."

Hey peeps, let's talk about where this is going. Has everyone who wanted to talk to Erik before making a decision on whether they are pro Erik's plan, anti Erik's plan or Plan Lay Low And Mind Their Own Business had a chance to talk to Erik on the Island yet?

If you haven't and you'd like to, please feel free to still tag in.

If you HAVE decided where you'd like your character to be, please comment below and let me know so I can plan out what Erik will do next, based on who is helping him.

If your character is still undecided and needs convincing one way or another by Erik or someone else, let me know that too. Erik is sending Sylar to talk to some of the undecideds :D And also some of the 'no's. You're welcome.

Also anything else you want to know or want to discuss about this whole thing, let me know below.

Thank you everyone for your engagement; I've enjoyed every single thread I've done for this plot so far and look forward to whatever comes next. Remember, I'm not married to any particular outcome, so however you want your characters to react, this is choose your own adventure.

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!

Event: The Truth Comes Out

Unbeknownst to most individuals within the City, there was something going on. It was a small something, at least, but perhaps with larger consequences. Most things in the City had larger consequences, after all, even if it wasn’t realised until much, much further down the line.

As of February 26, rain clouds roll in, uncharacteristically early for this time of year. There’s still snow on the ground, after all. The skies grow dark and heavy with rain, and as the noon hour rolls around, it’s as though they open up: it rains for hours, late into the evening, and even then, doesn’t seem eager to let up. Finally, around midnight, it settles down to a drizzle.

Come the morning of February 27, citizens and Chosen will find something a little odd going on: they’re very inclined to tell the truth. Perhaps it’s in little ways, like speaking one’s mind on things; perhaps it’s in bigger ways, like feeling as though those more important truths need to come out.

Sometimes, all people need is a little honesty, right?



This is a player-driven mini plot. Characters can be affected as much or as little as you like, and the effects will run the full in-game week, from February 27 - March 03. It begins for players on August 05 and runs through the 22.

This event will be mentioned in the upcoming State of the City and an announcement will be put up in the OOC comm as a notification that it has begun.

A Spark of Something

Once upon a time, a wizard had his magic temporarily removed. When it returned a week or so later, he thought little of the longterm effects that this might have had on him. Little did he realise, there would be some changes he was unaware of.

All around the City, though most prominently in Leisurebrook, the Tower, and the Coliseum Districts, citizens and Chosen might notice a variety of changes. It all starts with the crackle of electricity in the air and the heightened chance to spark yourself; everyone hates static build-up in the air, after all. And maybe someone’s noticed a bit of ivy growing up the side of a building, or little flowers popping up through the cracks in the sidewalks. It’s hardly the time of year for that, after all.

As time goes on, these little signs seem to get larger and more demanding of attention. The odd bit of frizz in someone’s hair turns into a painful jolt when they get too near a building, or a small fire breaking out because the air is simply too dry. Those small flowers grow more and more, until they’re nipping at the ankles of people who pass - literally nipping. And that door that once led to the staff room is now nothing but a wall. But do try the door-shaped hole a few feet away, perhaps that’ll do it. Or maybe it’ll bring someone a block and a half away, out into the street.

Suffice to say, though: there’s definitely something odd going on.

Edit: Additionally, there will continue to be shadows lingering just outside of everyone's peripheral vision, creeping ever closer.
