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. |
OTA
So of course she’s here. Poking around at the plant life (though she gets bored with that quickly), pestering the animals and… sniffing them? Of course, that behavior gets less mysterious when, upon realizing that this whole thing is just weird as hell in general, she pulls her hood down, letting her furry ears stick out from under her hair.
She probably should have anticipated that sticking around this place would do something weird eventually - and yet, somehow, it’s still a surprise when she feels a familiar wave of discomfort, of change, wash over her. She manages to scramble behind a tree and start getting undressed before it really takes hold, but, uh. There go those shoes.
Miko sort of just rolls over, grunting in frustration, as she kicks off the remainder of her clothes; she doesn’t really pay attention to if she’s back in the clearing, since it’s not like it super matters from a modesty standpoint anymore. “--Ugh, seriously?! What gives, I didn’t even eat anything!”
Which, as it happens, is a complaint that has less to do with the likely fae-affected nature of this place and more to do with the fact that not eating any of the food means she can’t have accidentally eaten any meat. So, honestly: What the hell.
no subject
What's up, 'lil sis. Big sis hanging upside down from a branch right above you. It's kind of hard to tell if she's squinting disapprovingly at Miko, or if her eyes are narrowed because that's just the typical expression she usually has on her bat face, since her eyesight in this form isn't super great.
no subject
That sure is an awfully smug tone for someone who snuck out to somewhere she's not supposed to be and is now stuck as a dog, but hey, at least if Lambert finds out she won't be the only one who's in trouble.
"And, yeah, I figured that much out. But aren't they s'posed to have... I dunno, rules or something?"
no subject
She’s seriously chafed about this. At least she has what she considers to be a good reason to be out here, she’s not just thrill seeking, which is what she assumes Miko is here for.
no subject
She snorts and twitches her ears back. "Oh, what, like he wasn't gonna come looking for you anyway!"
no subject
Mari? Myra? Miko? Something short, something starting with an M. His time spent actually in their apartment as a crow gave him very limited contact — if any — with the rest of the Wolfe siblings. Besides, he's a crow right now, too. It's not like he has to swoop down and greet her by name, as he can't talk in this form himself.
And he does just that, fluttering down from the trees to land on the ground near the shifted weredog. He makes a croaking noise as crows often do, tilting his head one way, then the other.
no subject
She immediately opts to pretend that TOTALLY didn't startle her, and takes a couple steps forward, lowering her head to sniff at him. "What d'you want, huh?"
no subject
"To see what you were fussing about," he says on changing from crow to human in the blink of an eye, along with the sudden scent of pine trees and snow. This leaves Miko pointing her noise at his shoes rather than an entire bird. "Though you don't look to be dying or anything terrible like that."
jfc sorry this took forever
She recovers quickly enough, and lets out a huff. "That's 'cuz I'm not, I'm just--"
Wait a second. She recognizes that scent.
Miko leans forward and sniffs at him, ears tilting back. "--It's you!"
no subject
So then how?
In the end, all he can really do is frown at her and ask, "I don't believe we've met before, Miss...?"
Silver lining, that gives him an easy way to figure out which M name she happens to be.
no subject
"My brother was wearin' your sweater! And he was being super weird about it, so is there somethin' I should know?"
no subject
"I imagine he didn't want to admit getting too drunk to drive home and having to sleeping it off," is the overwhelmingly dull answer she gets. "Though he did borrow a sweater of mine the next day. His... really needed a wash."
And what that means, he leaves for her to decide herself. It could be hungover Lambert puked all over himself, could be he spilled coffee on it, could be just about anything.
no subject
"Right. Like Lambert would get embarrassed about getting drunk." She stomps her paw pointedly on the ground. "C'mon, man, did you really think that you'd fool me with that? What actually happened, huh?"
no subject
Again, he says it all with a straight face, a dry tone of voice, and overall looking entirely bored with the conversation, as though what he had just said wasn't completely ridiculous.
no subject
"He wasn't wearing your pants, it was just the sweater."
Yep, that's her number one objection to that story.
no subject
Because Foster, too, has a very food-oriented trigger for sprouting fur: overeating, or at least eating until he's really, honestly, fucking full. The first time it happened, back when he was twelve, it was from eating too much corn bread, so it's not that hard to do if he doesn't pay attention, but come on.
"Yeah, I guess you can eat all the meat you want now."
no subject
"Yeah, guess that's somethin' anyway - but, I mean, who's to say more weird crap wouldn't happen if I did that?" Seriously, she may be reckless as a rule, but that doesn't mean that she actually trusts this place.
no subject
"Maybe it'll even out," he replies lackadaisically. He has a way of delivering that kind of comment that sounds like he's sincere, even though common sense would dictate he's probably not.
On the other hand, maybe he is. Maybe if she makes enough terrible decision, something good will happen instead. Who knows!
