BY ANY OTHER NAME↴ Tensions thicken as various supernaturally forces react to the events of the previous week. Something critical is afoot, and it's only a matter of time before things start coming to a head. It's time to find out more about what's happened to this world, and what will happen in its future. ► A NIGHT AT THE FAIR: From the night of the 7th to the morning of the 8th, the Animal Fair is officially in town. There is a top level down below with more information, though you can also RP content from this elsewhere if you wish. The host, who is very likely something called a Wyld Fae (if you discovered that ICly), will be present, but they will only be appearing to you of their own accord and attempting to track them down by force will be ineffective. Just kick back and relax! Fairs are supposed to be fun. ► THORNS IN YOUR SIDE: Culminating in a full fledged attack against the Sanctuary, it would seem that The Rose Queen is declaring war on the changeling population of Portland. Though the vicious attack of thorns against the safe house was eventually stopped, it wasn't without damage, and the black roses that caused it are still popping up around the city and threatening the places where homeless and lost changelings would be likely to congregate. It's obvious now that this is a serious threat - will it ever stop without an intervention? ► HELL ON EARTH: As Anath's march draws near, the first waves of her demons will be entering the city. Primarily acting as scouts and foot soldiers, these demons will be attempting to secure loyalty from the local demon populace, as well as taking out any angels they can manage to catch. It's a level of aggressiveness against heaven's forces that hasn't been seen for years, and it's a foreboding hint of things to come. These demons can be NPCed by anyone, and will mostly be thugs or manipulators who don't know much about Anath's plans but do know that you need to join their side. They are also rowdier than most of the demons in Portland, and are a threat to the innocent mortal populace as well, if they decide to try to get their kicks here. ► THE WIZARD POLICE: The Enlightenment Council seems to have demanded control of the local Circle chapter, and now backup has arrived. These mages are being sent out into the city as if they are a police force, and will be attempting to demand control of various common supernatural areas, as well as questioning community members that they run into. Whatever is going on, it seems to have resulted in the Council instituting what is essentially martial law... of course, not everyone sees any need to heed their demands. If you are a demon, warlock, or other rogue element, expect to be harassed or even attacked by them. These character can be NPCed, and if you need additional information you can ask the mods. |

This time he recognizes one of the people and has to stop to rethink things. Isn't that one, probably a male, isn't that another angel? Don't angels... well, yes, courtship and reproductive behaviors do happen. That's how you get nephilim, isn't it? Personally he's too far from biological life to have those urges and they haven't rubbed off on him yet, but, observing the couple, it occurs to him that the human memories that have been gradually flowing back do include sex and sexuality.
Still remote, though. Still hard to apply to him. His thing is music, of course, and desire and related topics are the biggest recurring theme in music, but he's only ever felt something like it for the length of a song, and in a diffused way. More like a form of the yearning for Heaven.
no subject
"Oi.. wha...?"
"Not here...!" she hisses. Was this from the fae food or drink? Was this angel really going to make her keep underestimating how foolish he is? The woman looks around since Hugo clearly isn't until she spots Iuliael and narrows her eyes. "Friend of yours?"
"Eh..? Oh.. um..!" Once he's made aware, it seems Hugo can still detect who's a fellow angel easily enough. "Should I know you from somewhere? Iluli-something?"
Not even close, but it's an attempt.
no subject
"No, don't let me disturb you. I was just trying to figure something out," he says mildly, vaguely aware that maybe animals rarely care if they're observed, as long as they don't feel threatened, but humans usually try to be private. Usually. He's really not clear on why there are exceptions and where the line is, certainly people have acted like this in public before.
Anyway, this is public. This must be the sort of pair which likes that, though he's not sure what benefit there would be. Maybe it's a status display? Or they're trying to draw more participants? He should probably back away, then, so they don't get the wrong idea, but now the angel is talking to him. Iuliael smiles hesitantly.
Honestly Iluli is not that far off, considering that he'll respond to almost anything vaguely like his name. "I am Iuliael. You're... Lu-goe, I think? I didn't know you were a sexual. When did that start?"
no subject
What the hell. Reina steps further back from Hugo, not that she has anything to fear, just surprised from the yell.
"... Er." And after suddenly flipping from 0 to 60, then back again, even Hugo seems suddenly confused about his own outburst. It's not wrong to him to be so sensitive about his name but wow.
"What did you just-"
"Well I know what I said, it's Hugo! That's my name."
Playing off the weird slip-up is easy when they both sound exactly alike.
no subject
A long time ago he had been the representative of a seraphim, and would have had something cold and cutting to say at this display. Then again as part of the Dove of God he'd been able to remember a lot more than he does now, and see more, and know names without having to ask.
Still, he sounds less gentle now. "And I am Iuliael. Are you all right? If you have a dangerous temper, you need to not intertwine your life too closely to those of mortals. And you didn't answer me."
no subject
"I'd never do a thing as barbru- barb..." Come on his vocabulary is somewhere! "-crude as taking anger out on them...! Anyway I..!"
"It's neither what you think this is or something you need to know." Well if the stranger isn't being the cold one, then Reina can do it in their place.
"And I love her!" Hugo indignantly adds, which makes the woman press a hand to her face that could be seen as a positive or negative combination of embarrassment and exasperation.
no subject
Iuliael just listens to the babble and back-and-forth, his eyes flicking from one to the other. He's not completely following, but his combination of residual disdain for being yelled at and being bad at knowing facial expressions and tones of voice makes him easy to read as impassive. In this low light he is luminous, faintly, though it really looks more as if he's just standing in better lightning compared to everyone else than as if he glows with his own light.
"I see," he says, because it's a good filler phrase in a conversation. "It's unusual is all. How did that start? How did you meet?" That kind of question is another good filler. Iuliael's had a lot of time to observe people talking.
no subject
"Guardians protect mortals and all that is good!" recites he, almost sounding... well... sober. "And so on one fateful night I saved Ri-Reina's life."
"Right of course, my hero." Said rescued damsel now has her eyes narrowed at Hugo.
All the emotions that Hugo and Reina show are clearly too much a puzzle. So perhaps what might catch the other angel's attention more is the presence of deeper magic, originating from the guardian, tying the two-
-if it isn't the sense that there should be more to the story.
no subject
"So why are you so connected? That's extra unusual, right? Guardians love their charges, but this has a different smell." If smell is the word. Sometimes, english is just insufficient.
no subject
"Smell? What's that supposed to mean, huh? Humans have some kind of stench to you 'holy' things?"
That's a dangerous look in her eye. How bold of this human.
no subject
He's an angel who's far removed from humans and has never really bothered to shape himself to participate in standard bodily functions; he has something like blood, and he pulls air into a cavity and pushes it out again, and has taken liquid and solid matter into himself and had to remove it later, but these are very loose approximations, without the usual chains of chemical reactions. His notion of good and bad smells is rather different.
