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 looks away and shifts uncomfortably, scowling at the ground. Miu, meanwhile, seems perfectly content to go right back to snuffling at the grass.
"I guess I'm just kind of on-edge or something."
no subject
"Think I noticed that." he turns around, looking back to Ginko and watching Miu as she inspects the grass on the ground. "Something on your mind?"
no subject
He hesitates and glances away, rubbing uncertainly at the back of his neck for a moment. Why is he even telling this guy about that? He... feels like he must have talked to him about something similarly serious before, but... did he really?
no subject
"You...?" he prompts, hoping Ginko will continue. Though demons weren't particularly emotional or caring people Ginko was this demon's friend, so if Ginko was upset about something this demon wanted to hear about it.
no subject
That's... a massively understated way of saying he's increasingly unsure of the legitimacy of his own memories, but anyway.
no subject
"Things might be getting kind of tense around here soon."

Meaning of course if anything big happened it could likely turn into all out war.
"Some big name bitch is making her way up the coast." And he gives Ginko a sardonic look. "Looks like we might be her final destination."
He sighs, sticking his hands in his pockets and enjoying the scenario once more. He knew the peace of the past few years or so had been too good to last much longer, but still, he's disappointed. He's maybe even a bit worried if he was being honest with himself.
"Don't know if that helps put your stuff in perspective."
He shrugs, smiling grimly at Ginko again. "Just so you know to keep on your toes."
no subject
That doesn't really cover it, honestly, but it's the best Ginko can express his feelings on the subject. It's... a lot to hear all at once, particularly given what it implies - what could happen.
"Hah... guess so." He frowns and stares down at Miu on the ground. If there's a major demon on her way, maybe he shouldn't be worrying so much about the mere possibility of fae activity.
"I'll keep an eye out. ...Two, if I could."
Hilarious.
no subject
"Don't look so glum. Worst case scenario you get in your car and drive away for a few days."
no subject
"Hah... right. But, honestly, I don't think I could; there are people who I couldn't leave here while I ran away."
Including Psi, not that Ginko is going to say that much so readily.
no subject
"Then I guess I better start setting up the magical bomb shelter."
no subject
Even if he doesn't intend to leave, he'd also rather he and his friends not die.
