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!!!
Due to their differing schedules, Sora and Sean have opted to arrive at the Animal Fair separately. That, of course, doesn't mean it's easy to find each other, especially in the sizable crowd that's show up tonight. Sora tries to stay near the entrance, but he's pretty easily swept away, and ends up further in than he'd like to be by himself.
He manages to push his way through the crowd a bit, but after a few minutes, he's pretty well and truly lost. He kind of wishes he were taller. Either way, he keeps looking for Sean, but it might take a while to find him.
B is for Beastly Instincts: OTA
While Sora may have found Sean earlier, he's lost him again, and this time with the added effect of being dizzy and disoriented. He'd had a vision, earlier, just a flash of himself that hadn't made sense at the time, but was beginning to now.
The vision had shown him running, running around the fair upset by something, but what was it he'd been upset by? When the vision was done, he'd come back to himself, only to find he'd fallen, or perhaps been pushed, into a patch of large flowers. They were huge, voluminous and in pastel colors, and covered in a fine layer of white powder. Standing up, Sora hopes that they're not poisonous, and he dusts himself down of the white that is now clinging to his clothes.
It's not long before the dizziness sets in, and then the pain, and are those fangs in his mouth? Almost on instinct, he shakes his head like a dog, trying to rid himself of the pain, but it's useless. Where was he, again? He was trying to find someone...
Someone yells, right next to his ear, and it startles him. He jumps, frightened, and begins to run.
A
His own animal instincts are running high, even before he shifts over, and he's seeking warmth. But at the same time, he's too shy to just approach random people. Sora's not a stranger though. So when he sees the familiar head of messy hair, he pushes through the crowd (savoring each touch), and basically drapes on Sora's back.
"Hi. Cold." And in fact, he's a little bit cold to the touch. Certainly he's not warm.
no subject
"Hehe, yeah, I guess it's kinda cold," Sora admits cheerily. "Geeze, you're like a popcicle, Sean."
no subject
no subject
"Yup, like ten minutes ago or something. I tried to wait by the gate, but it was pretty crowded there. And I don't think we're getting any cell signal in here."
no subject
The bad thing about having a physical body (Yuya's) is that it takes effort to run. The good thing is that at least when he catches up to Sora, he can hold out a hand to try to grab him.
"Hey, stop!"
no subject
Blindly, he tries to push back against the person, trying to get away, and shaking like a leaf from fright.
no subject
Tamaki wasn't expecting Sora to fall into him like that, and stumbles backwards, unaccustomed to Yuya's height and frame. Distracted by his effort to not fall on his butt, he almost lets Sora go.
But somehow he hangs on, feeling the way Sora is trembling under his hands. What is this? Some kind of panic attack?
"H-hey- it's okay, it's okay, just calm down."
Tamaki's never tried to sooth so much as an angry alley cat, but the tone comes to him more easily than expected, almost like he's done something like this before. Still, he's not sure it will be enough to calm a panicking college student.
no subject
It's only here that he calms down enough to realize, no, he's not under attack. In fact, the person holding his arm is almost familiar, despite their face swimming in his vision, but the tomato-colored hair is unmistakable. They were talking in a soothing voice, and it calms Sora down just enough to be able to stand still and stop pulling, despite the mild anxiety still pulling at his brain.
He's still shaking, but at least he's looking at who he's pretty sure is Yuuya, and focusing enough to hear the words.
no subject
"Nothing is trying to hurt you, so don't freak out, okay?"
He squints at Sora's eyes. They seem unfocused, but he doesn't think Sora took anything. At least, he hopes he didn't. Maybe it's just this weird Animal Fair. The other ghosts did say they saw a shadowy figure putting up the posters...
"Did you eat or drink anything?"
no subject
Eat? Did he eat anything? He doesn't think so. He's pretty sure, anyway. He shakes his head rapidly at the question.
no subject
That answers that. Tamaki sighs a little, but it's not really out of relief. What is happening here?
It's about then that he notices the fangs and wonders what those are about. He's pretty sure Sora has never had any fangs before. Maybe he was bit by something weird?
"Um, you're gonna be okay," he repeats. "Is Joker here?"
It is the angel's job to take care of him, after all.
no subject
"Joker?" he asks, perking up slightly and looking around.
no subject
"I don't know where he is... B-but we can find him, okay? Just don't panic, alright?"
Pleading with someone who seems to have gone out of their mind is maybe not the best solution, but Tamaki doesn't have a lot of options.
no subject
"Let's go!" he says, pulling Yuuya/Tamaki in a random direction.
no subject
He follows the other boy around the fair, but doesn't see Joker around, at least not at the moment. He doesn't say anything, though, not sure what Sora will do if they can't find him.
Should we pull Joker into this thread or did you have somewhere you wanted to go with it?
However, as time goes on without a sign of the angel, Sora falls further and further back into that state of panic that Tamaki/Yuuya found him in.
