⇨ The Tourist Trap: WEEK 2

Who: Anyone, anywhere in Portland.
When: October 7st - 14th, 2017
Where: Portland area, in the new reality.
What: The week begins as the time of the Animal Fair finally arrives! Meanwhile, the truth of this reality starts to be revealed, and forces both human and celestial alike attempt to take advantage of a rare opportunity.
Warnings: Individually marked!

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.

Aw. That's sad.

[She leans in to look him over curiously.]

It also sounds boring. How can you not know what to do? You do what you want to do.
otoko: (HRMMNN =3=)

Ahh...Y-You're not the first to say this... [Thanks Yuuya.

Still. That's a good question. Initially he's ready to answer, but earlier conversations with Sherlock and Jimmy come to mind instead, all his thoughts and confusion regarding memories feeling...almost hollow in form.
] I suppose...

...The answer is not understanding why I want to do it. [He frowns, parsing his way through the thought.] ...As if it were not my decision to begin with...perhaps.

[This got way deeper than he thought. Uh.

He coughs.
] AHHH.. Th-That seems a little much though, so perhaps it's just a matter of being anxious, ahahaha!

Well, stop that.

[It's really just that simple, my boy!]

You're not doing yourself any favours by not knowing what you want. The things that you want are the most important part of your life.
betheman: (well that's NEW)

[personal profile] betheman 2017-06-30 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Auuhhhh.... [It does not seem simple and something about this blue-orange directness to things is reminding him of SOMETHING that doesn't quite fit in his brain and it's honestly making this headache of his worse.]

....I... don't suppose you have suggestions in simple 'stopping'...?

[She looks at him, extremely frankly.]

Quit doing it.
betheman: (well that's NEW)

[personal profile] betheman 2017-06-30 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
...Auh.

[He will admit.] ....I....will try my best then, miss-! [He has NO IDEA where to start on that. Also, he has no name.] ...Is there anything I should call you..?
npcarnival: (retro)

[personal profile] npcarnival 2017-06-30 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You may call me... the Beast.

Or, perhaps, simply one of the Wyld Fae.

[She lays down on a big root, stretching her body.]

You may also thank me, now.
betheman: (oh god what)

[personal profile] betheman 2017-06-30 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Auh-of course..! ...It seemed more polite to offer thanks once I could address you, however!

[Truth. But also, he gives that awkward nod-bow that he seems to be doing more these days.] My thanks, 'Beast' of the Wyld Fae. [He has No Idea what he's doing.]

[personal profile] npcarnival 2017-06-30 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It is "the Beast", not just "Beast". There's a difference.

However, the sentiment is accepted.

[She twist her body lazily, like a big cat in the sun.]

I only feel emotions that I want to feel. It is a much preferable way to live.

[personal profile] betheman 2017-06-30 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah! My mistake, The Beast! [Somehow this feels very Odd.]

...it sounds like it could be far more preferable...certainly enviable, I must say...

[Yet why does part of him insist otherwise?]
npcarnival: (retro)

[personal profile] npcarnival 2017-06-30 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Everything about me is enviable.

[She sighs happily.]

[...He gets the impression she's quite sure of this, so he can't really do much more than laugh nervously and change the subject.] Ahh... I suppose that would be part of why you've hosted this, perhaps... [Gotta...share the awesome? Or something? He's unsure.

Actually on that note.
] I will admit, I've been very impressed with what I've seen though...attempting to come near earlier in the week gave me the sensation that I was going to die instead, so I'm continually surprised..!

[It's probably good surprise.]
