⇨ The Tourist Trap: WEEK 2

[ringleaders]

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.

Mm... if he got addicted, that would be your fault.

[And whatever happened to the kid after would be his fault. And a lot of things could happen.]

[dorkypantsuit]

Weed isn't as addictive as some might lead you to believe. Plus, wouldn't it technically be your fault for taking it while possessing someone in the first place?

[puddingemote]

There's more drugs than weed...

[Though, he's not entirely surprised Psi was able to see through him. Not that he's really trying to hide it, but on top of that, he felt the same weird pull he does whenever he goes near any angels or demons. Part of their job, after all, is to gain souls, for better or worse.]

So you figured me out, huh?

[dorkypantsuit]

[He shrugs.]

You don't really say you 'figured it out' when you notice someone's wearing glasses, do you?

[puddingemote]

That obvious, huh...?

[He doesn't seem too worried about it, although if Psi starts making any aggressive moves, he'll retreat.]

What are you?

[dorkypantsuit]

Depends on who's asking.

[Time to be difficult for the sake of his own amusement.]

[puddingemote]

Tamaki Yotsuba is asking.

[He doesn't get what Psi is playing at.]

[dorkypantsuit]

[Okay, that actually makes him laugh.]

Well I don't know if that's information that Tamaki Yotsuba needs to know.

[puddingemote]

Ahh... what a pain...

[He looks Psi up and down, then shrugs.]

If you're an angel, I'm not going. If you're not, just let me stay in this body anyway, okay?
