⇨ 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.

[You know, it may say something about the two of them that both of their strategies involve walking right back into the fae's clutches. But only one of their plans involved getting naked. And despite.... well, everything about him, the one losing his pants isn't Foster van Denend.

Well. Technically he isn't wearing pants, because he is currently an entire bear.

Foster's getting some very... familiar vibes out of him; it's not unlike the feeling when he first summoned the demon, that kind of purpose above reason, excitement past restraint, action beyond thought. Impulsion, maybe.]

Shit, free show?

[Foster ambles up behind the demon without a trace of subtlety--either Psi is up to something or he's lost his mind completely, and either way, he feels like he should have been appraised of it beforehand.]

So why didn't I get an invite?

[dorkypantsuit]

[That is definitely a talking bear, but at least its a familiar talking bear and not some kind of psychotic bird attacking him for no reason.]

Because this show isn't for you.

[control_freak]

[It's a talking bear who is actually starting to feel ticked--not just excluded from the know, now, but actively being denied an answer?]

Then who is it for?

[He's not letting up just because he got rejected once.]

[dorkypantsuit]

[Of course with the mood he's in Foster's annoyance only makes the demon want to push him further.]

Why should I tell you?
