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. |

I... um...!
[So much for passing off as normal to this kid. Not that he won't try to contest the theory anyway.]
Why would you think this is some kind of disguise...?!
no subject
Am I wrong...?
no subject
[What a compelling argument. But Hugo stares back at Yuya, multiple concerns bouncing around in his head and he's trying to figure which of them seems the most serious without blowing his ruse.]
... But.... [His head hurts trying to go along this train of thought, but it sticks out the most among other sore thumbs.]
I think you look just like- [Someone he knows? Himself? Hugo shakes his head and decides it's probably better to disembark from that idea while he can.] Nevermind, so what are you doing here?
no subject
I wanted to see the fair, so I came with a friend. Isn't that what you're doing?
no subject
Yeah. I came here with my girlfriend.
[Boy that'll be interesting news if Yuya ever gets wise to what Hugo really is. An angel with a girlfriend, how did the lucky mortal attract someone like that.]
no subject
no subject
[She's the best, in his tunnel-visioned opinion.]
But hey I guess it wouldn't be so bad if we go find- [Wait.] -no hold on I can't let her see me like this!
no subject
no subject
[No. Maybe. It's debatable! Totally.
Might have been banking on his heavenly constitution. Perhaps once Yuya's gone, Hugo can try shifting back and forth to get his mundane looks again. Or perhaps force things to be "normal", but that's a temporary measure.]
no subject
[Says Yuya, who has currently separated from his vampire friend. Hey, somehow it feels like the right place to be the voice of reason right now.]
no subject
But sooner or later, Hugo's going to end up unable to resist guzzling a drink or two before he runs into her again.]You're probably right. I don't look like anything to be too scared of anyway.
no subject
... Uh, but before you go--who do you keep thinking I look like?
no subject
[At that he crouches a bit and peers at Yuya closer, then scrunches his face in deep thought.]
Well it's weird, I could almost swear that age aside... we have the same.... face?
[Very uncanny. Why is that concept so dang familiar though?]
no subject
It's unnerving. So he's just going to keep staring at Hugo, mouth agape like that's going to give him an answer.
"Why do they have the same face as me?!"]
no subject
Oi, you okay Yuya?
[And the angel puts a hand on the kid's shoulder to attempt shaking him out of his stupor.]
no subject
[He rubs his eyes, trying to clear his head. Come on, there has to be some explanation for this.] That's too weird! Why do you look like me? Are we related?
no subject
[Sometimes one should wonder why this idiot even tries to pass off as a regular mortal to most of the people he meets.]
no subject
[He starts counting off reasons on his fingers.] Either you're related to me, you're a face snatcher, or you are--are me?
[What?]
no subject
[Does Hugo need to throw away the dumb luck he's had so far and simply reveal his true form? He'll have that idea in mind as a last resort.]
It's probably not as much of a big deal as we think it is anyway...!
[As much as the angel internally agrees it feels serious.]
no subject
I'm--I'm going to go find my friend. You should find your girlfriend!
no subject
[As confusing as that is, Hugo won't stop him if Yuya runs off to do just that instead of answering. Thinking about it leaves the angel frozen in thought. He's a guardian! He's supposed to defend! Were strangers with identical faces some sort of omen to a terrible event?]
