⇨ EDEN PT. 2

[ringleaders]

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 86 - Day 88
Where: Eden
What: The Furies of Eden have been found and have agreed to ally with the carnival to achieve their mutual goals. Meanwhile, tensions in the city only get thicker. How much longer until everyone's cover is blown for good?
Warnings: Increasingly high chances of ritual sacrifices.

FRUIT OF KNOWLEDGE↴ Progresses has been made, but obstacles are approaching. As various characters fall under suspicion for their unusual natures the threat of backlash from the community of Honorables and Architects grows imminent. Several carnival members have fled to the Barrens, allying with the Furies of Eden, a rebel group bent on defying Lilith and taking Eden for themselves. Meanwhile, those still in the city are left with the aftermath. Information is still being cycled between the two groups, via various super powers and delivery methods. Sans has been freed from the control of his Architect and has left to find the rebels, but his delivery service is still being used to disperse information. You can assume to have been told about anything on this spreadsheet that's been addressed to the entire mailing list. ► TENSIONS GROW: As the days go on, the attitude of long term residents have only grown more suspicious and hostile. Several members of the new arrivals have gone missing, and it seems as if the locals are starting to suspect these absences are intentional rather than accidental. Some of the most ornery of them will say things that suggest that they think they've run off to join the heretics, but they will be hushed by those near them. However, no immediately violence is being imposed on people from the carnival's entry group. Not that you've seen, anyway. ► SAMYAZA'S INVITATION: Displeased by the atmosphere being created by all this distrust, Samyaza the Hare, Architect of Festivities and Music, has invited all of the remaining new arrivals to an exclusive garden party of hers. Everyone who is still in the city will be invited to attend, along with some choice members of the native population. The actual party will be happening on Day 88. Attendance is strongly recommended by the other Honorables. The nature of this even will depend on what occurs before it, and will be covered in more detail later in the log. The invitations go out on Day 86. ► HERESY UNVEILED: On the evening of Day 86, the city of Eden is alight with controversy - a band of Furies have been found! Hasma of Araqiel (the horse featured in Missing posters last week) has been caught within city borders, along with two Honorables of Eden who had been secretly colluding with her. The three condemned Furies have been bound and chained in cages in a public areas of the city, awaiting trial and punishment. It's a similar tone to criminals being locked in stockades for the civilians to mock, though the initial city mood seems more uncomfortable and nervous than angry. There is a horse, squirrel, and border collie currently imprisoned. ► RINGMASTER'S RETURN: On Day 87, the Ringmaster will be returning from her investigation. Specifically, she'll be arriving at the doorstep of the Furies in the Barrens, and will be entering to visit her associates within. Apparently, she's been spending all this time searching the barrens for entrances into the core of Eden, as well as trying to communicate with the Serpent. Neither have yielded major successes, however. Carnival members at the Furies base can ask interact with her through investigations.

Evening Day 86

[bananaspeedrider]

Yugo finds a secluded spot and spray paints his fur with an array of black and yellow hues as a disguise. (Hopefully it works.) And then he intends to go off to find the cage with the border collie.

He has some questions for his fellow dog if this entire plan rolls off to a good start.

[npcarnival]

The collie is there. What does Yugo say?

[bananaspeedrider]

So hey, how's it going fellow dog.

..... And then Yugo's going to ask what happened, dogs like themselves should be the picture of loyalty and whatnot.

In a lower voice he adds, regardless of what impression he's giving, what is the collie's name and what can they tell him about the law enforcement and trials here?

[npcarnival]

The collie just starts pleading at Yugo, saying that he didn't do anything! He's been framed! He's never worked alongside the furies! Why do you smell so bad!?

[bananaspeedrider]

And because this is a distressed animal with a visually endearing aesthetic, Yugo shifts his tune to comfort the frightened fluffball a little bit- that things will be fine and that they just need to calm down.

Then he wonders, but not aloud, if this a random bystander Honorable that the police snatched up...

"So if you really don't know anything about these 'Furies'..." he starts, while peering about. "There shouldn't be anything for you to worry about right? You've seen how a trial goes before."

(And Yugo is of course not answering the last question about his stink. Though he's more inclined to suspect corruption in the the 'courts'.)
