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. |

No one can see the sad tears now!!]
no subject
[Sure, shades can cover up your eyes. But are his glasses big enough to cover the occasional sniffling and escaped tear making it to his chin?
Either way, it's obvious that Noboru isn't exactly checked in to the conversation anymore, and directly after Papyrus was the bearer of bad new. He tentatively pats at the vampire's shoulder.]
There, there...?
no subject
Which is why they're coming off, even if his eyes ARE an astounding red.]
T-To be someone feared...it's something I've been trying for so long to avoid..!!!
no subject
You... can be feared and loved at the same time. I hear that's a very popular thing in some parts.
no subject
[Normally, in the carnival, there would be a dramatic shout of UNFORGIVABLE! But instead, Gongenzaka deflates.] ... I suppose it's inevitable, with myself...
no subject
Belle is an outstanding first impression.
no subject
You're right! She is, isn't she!
no subject
[Well, not all the time. Some of the time. He's new to the area, and hasn't really established himself as an available-any-time dogwalker/petsitter. But he had a similar deal going for a year or two back in Florida, and he knows dogs.]
no subject
...Are you a dogwalker..? [Immediate thought: that. And...it would be good for Belle to see sunlight, so...]
no subject
[Coolbone's settled firmly on the ground by now, where it's possible to watch Belle and Noboru at the same time. This kind of feeling of threat goes best with a play fight, but that doesn't seem to be an option.]
no subject
[He pauses-and below, Belle growls a little quietly at Coolbone.]
...Would you be willing to walk Belle, perhaps?
no subject
[Not to say that Papyrus was fishing for an excuse to pet this tiny dog more, but he was totally doing that. He checks his wallet, frowns, then starts patting in pockets.]
Uh, hold on, I'm sure I have one somewhere...
[Coolbone snorts at her, but doesn't growl back. Vocalizing, unable to talk in that pokemon way, has been nothing short of frustrating. Especially since this weird human version of Papyrus doesn't ever summon bones to practice attacks with... just chew toys.]
no subject
[He watches somewhat awkwardly, Belle-rather, Suzu-meanwhile busting herself with the blasted communication barrier that now exists between herself and Coolbone. Eventually, the vampire speaks-]
...Would a pen and paper perhaps suffice..?
no subject
[He pouts, but he nods.]
But. It'll have to do.
no subject
[Then, with a mild flourish-] Here, then! It will be good, for Belle to interact with others!
no subject
Let's see... name, and... phone number... Do you use email??
no subject
[-awkward laugh track-]
no subject
[It's terrible.]
no subject
[What were they talking about again]
