⇨ 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.

Mmn, not for....ah. [He pauses.] ...I could swear, there was that time a few weeks ago, but...

[WHAT-] ...No. No, I must be remembering wrong. It's been at least 150 years, I'm certain...

[no go back]

[hippocarnival]

... You wouldn't forget biting someone, would you? [Please be in better control of yourself, Gon.]

[otoko]

D-DEFINITELY NOT..!!

That sort of thing isn't something one forgets..!!

[Yet...it seems he's finding himself pulling on such strange memories regarding that all the same, and his brows furrow as he realizes it.]

[hippocarnival]

Uh huh. [That's what he thought.] So what are you thinking about?

[otoko]

MMMM.... ...N...nothing...

[NOBORU IS A DIRTY LIAR]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya stares for a solid minute. And then he relents with a sigh.

Nothing, huh? Maybe he really was the only one having these weird memories that involved Gon. Maybe his dreams were just getting the better of him.]

Let's go look at the animals. I haven't seen all of them yet and that's what we came for, right?

[otoko]

Right! Perhaps there will be some that you recognize, even! [he laughs, quickly grasping at the change in subject.] Perhaps a few cats, or dogs...

Even a corgi! [THEY SAY THOSE WERE THE FAIRY MOUNTS YOU KNOW.
More importantly didn't you have one of those-]

[hippocarnival]

[Didn't he have a corgi...? It's getting harder to remember what happened in Portland and these new, invasive memories.]

Those seem kind of normal for an animal fair... but I did see a cat earlier.

[otoko]

Ahhh, well, an animal fair would not discriminate, right?

[That said.] ...Let us go then-look over these animals!
