Who: Anyone, anywhere in Portland.
When: October 1st - 7th, 2017
Where: Portland area, in the new reality.

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. |

When I looked into the cafe proper, it was there. It told me to open the cages -- wanted the cats, I guess. I don't know what for. [ He frowns. ] Obviously, I told it to fuck off. It just seemed to think that was funny, but it got it talking for a while.
It called itself the Wyld Fae, 'the Beast.' It said the Animal Fair is a party it's throwing for itself because the other fae don't want it here. That's what all the feathers and junk were for -- it's a challenge.

[Still. She grimaces.] ...It's not a new event, but if it's a challenge, then that could be bad... [This is where her cards come in, see.] 'Animal Fair' seems to be something that's visited a lot of locations, for centuries, actually-but the last one got a Faerie killed..!
If there's challenges involved, that could mean 'why'...
no subject
What do you mean 'the last one got a faerie killed'? [ Subconsciously, he'd been expecting as much: it wasn't like the Beast was here to arm-wrestle the other fae into submission. How else could it end? ]

[ Lambert has no idea how hard True Fae are to kill. But if they're making such a big deal out of it ... ]

[ Lambert looks a little ill. But there is an upside, of sorts, if a slim one... ]
... do you know if anyone else has died when the Animal Fair was in town? Other than faeries.

... Anyway, that's all I know. [ He shrugs, uneasy. ] About the Animal Fair, anyway.
no subject
[Well, bugger.] Somehow it feels like we've gone nowhere...
no subject
[ A sigh. ]
You make a living out of this, though, so you probably have a better chance of filling in the blanks.

Sorry. You're on your own there. [ And so it seems they're stuck at a dead end, here. After a few moments' consideration, though, he pulls his phone out of his pocket, fingers hovering over the keypad. ]
Tell you what: give me your number and if I hear anything else interesting, I'll let you know.
