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. |

He puffs up his chest and puts his hands on his hips, determined.] I accept your challenge! Bring it on!
no subject
[Jack won't reveal his hand just yet! With his challenge accepted, he walks right past Yuya.] Follow me. A closed space like this won't do.

[Jack leads onward, until they finally exit the doors into the spacious courtyard. There's a large trash bag right beside the door, which Jack glances at momentarily before grabbing with determination.]
This will be our ammunition!
[It's a bag of pinecones! What was that doing out here? Jack's about to ruin someone's arts and crafts project, probably.]
no subject
no subject
That should do. [He reaches into the bag and pulls out two pinecones to start with.] Are you prepared? There's no turning back once we start!
no subject
they're so dramatic about pinecones
We'll see if you can earn my best! [Jack grips the pinecones in his hand and pulls his arm back; he holds it there for a moment as if gathering energy, and then throws them full force at Yuya. He's no a baseball player, and their paths are as predictable as they look. There's just one thing; they're going fast, and they'll hit hard.]
Is being dramatic about card games really any better.
But stops it about a foot away from him. After a breath of relief, the pinecone goes shooting back in a straight line, aiming for Jack's chest.]
I mean...no...
Heh. [He smirks, mildly impressed as he reaches into the bag and scoops up an armful of pinecones.] Let that be your first glimpse at the rest of this duel! You can't even come close to the King!
[Jack starts throwing the pinecones one after the other, all at full strength.]
no subject
For the first ten or so, he's at least stopping all of them, even if he's not succeeding in throwing all of them back. But it starts falling apart past that, and then he's got his arms up trying to block pinecones from hitting his face.] Hey! That's too many!
no subject
Hmmph, what a disappointment. Was that really the best you could do? What did you think this bag was for? It wasn't merely for show!
no subject
no subject
What difference will it make? Ask me for a rematch once you've made it worth my while!
no subject
Wait, again?
Yuya shakes his head and marches right up, grabbing for the bag.] Give me the pinecones.
no subject
Do you plan on practicing? It won't be the same.

Come find me when you're ready.
