Who: Anyone, anywhere in Portland.
When: October 1st - 7th, 2017
Where: Portland area, in the new reality.
What: Memories begin returning to the displaced as the fall gets chillier. How the hell did we end up here, again? Also, apparently, the fair is in town.
Warnings: Individually marked!

PORTLAND BY NIGHT↴ Memory regains will come into effect at the beginning of October, to whatever degree you've decided upon, and may be regained at whatever pace you desire from then on. For those with their full carnival memories, it will be like waking up in the body of someone else - for those with half and half, it will be like rapidly recalling sets of memories from a totally different life. Those with full amnesia will simply feel as if this is how it's always been. Unfortunately for you, memories aren't the only thing you have to deal with. The supernatural community of Portland is bustling all of a sudden - could your presence and these events somehow be related? ► THE OUTER CIRCLE: As of the start of the month, the Portland Circle of Enlightenment will find itself starting to get swarmed with members from other chapters. Most notably, it would seem that a small cabal of top mages from the North American Enlightenment Council will be making their home in Portland's HQ. For anyone but the highest of ranks, the purpose behind their visit will be unclear, but it seems like something is definitely up on a metaphysical level. The Circle will be buzzing with rumours of unique planar activity and threatening omens. It seems that it all started with an unusual flare of activity in the planetary ley-lines, starting approximately a week ago. However, even if you would usually be the type to keep tabs on such things, you will find that you oddly have no memory of observing this phenomenon yourself. ► THE ANIMAL FAIR: Good news, the fair is in town! Or, at least, it would be good news... if this was a regular fair. Instead, what's being observed is a bunch of nearly identical flyers, spread all around Portland - each of which bears only the words "THE ANIMAL FAIR", a seemingly bloody paw-print of unknown origin, and the directions to a vague forested location outside of the city. It's dated for October 7th, and all instances of its posting having been discovered with a scattering of rose petals, crow feathers, and pre-burnt matches laying on the ground around them. Most are taking this to be some kind of bizarre viral marketing campaign, but others may know better. ► THE EARTH SPIRIT: If you have connections to The Pack or any of its many variations, you'll probably hear whispers of something very odd that occurred last week - according to the elders, it sounds as if the Earth Spirit, the magical and spiritual center of the planet, has suddenly taken a wound. It's not clear why or how, but there is a fair bit of concern among spiritual types, as it is werebeast belief and nebulous magical fact that the magical forces within the earth are the source of all magic here, as well as the source of life. While many werebeasts claim to have felt the Spirit succumb, you strangely have no memory of such an event occurring. Though things do feel strange, if you know how to tap into the Spirit yourself. ► THE WAR CRY: Though Anath's rain of terror across North America lasted for the first fifteen years or so of the Severing, most independent demons have had enough time to start taking the arch-demon's relative inactivity for granted. For that first while, the warrior queen had seemed determine to rebuild an army on earth by forcing her scattered brethren into service - only for her to gradually settle down in a fortress somewhere in Texas and dig in her heels. Of course, this was too good to last - it sounds as if she and her demonic legion have begun tearing their way up the west coast, their goals remaining a mystery. Their destination, however, is almost certainly Portland. |
A!
"....Mr. Demayo..? ....Are you alright..?"
no subject
Greg's halfway through his practiced deflecting of concerns before even looking up. Something happens as he looks at Carly, though, and he trails off. For a moment, he simply stares at her, vaguely bewildered. She looks strange. Except, she doesn't. Somehow it's wrong, nothing like the woman he knows, he distinctly remembers her looking completely different, birdlike and...
He shakes it off, rubbing at his eyes. "S-sorry, Miss Nagisa, I just... haven't been sleeping well lately."
Dreaming, he keeps dreaming while awake. He's going to sleep for a week when this is done. "Don't worry about me. Go catch some Zs for me, yeah?"
no subject
....They're only intense because of the murder association she found, honestly, but she won't be sharing that to anyone she isn't especially close to in the matters of the supernatural.
...which is, go figure, a category that Greg is mercifully part of, not that the idea quite occurs to share just yet.
no subject
"You've seen those around too, huh?" His face screws up a moment. "Guess they're hard to miss... think there's a story to 'em?" He's been fishing for info with just about everyone he meets, but if someone else had been looking into it there might be actual progress to be made.
no subject
Her eyes snap open, and rather suddenly she seems forced awake by whatever information is available to her. "Ahhh!! Right-!! Right, I needed to tell you this..!"
"I don't know who they were or anything, but you know fae right..? Mr. Demayo...the last time this Fair was hosted somewhere, a faerie died there..!"
no subject
"Wait--there was another one before? Where--when?" Why hadn't he thought of that? With such a fuss being made, maybe he'd assumed he'd have heard of one, but... "A fae... how did you find out something like that?" That's not something that shows up in a normal reporter's research.
no subject
That's hardly important though, so- "There's been a lot, actually..!" she notes, pretending as if she wasn't surprised at all. "For many, many years, just in different places-the last one wasn't in Portland, obviously... ...but someone called 'Winter's Claw' was killed at it..."
She frowns. "...I don't know how serious things like that are, but... ...I thought you should know."
no subject
"Definitely explains why things feel tense around here." It sure puts the Rose Queen's concern in perspective. "If these go back a while, it's weird that people weren't talking about this more. But, the Winter's Claw... that's gotta be the other court." Not exactly a subtle name.
"Where'd you find out about this?"
no subject
"There's not a lot though...Anyone posting would have to be understanding of both the network AND fae culture after all, and the only ones I can see being interested in that would be changelings, or other warlocks, right?"
