⇨ EDEN PT. 2

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.

[Steven gets what she's saying immediately and latches into the idea.]

I could wear cat shoes!

[His reaction to this is a lot more positive.]

If I can wear a disguise... I'll give it a try.

Yes, exactly-!

[Wait] Well. Not cat shoes, sorry. You're already something of a cat, Steven, [she giggles, bobbing her head.] But I'm glad...

...We need to move quickly though- Follow me, alright? And stay quiet. We want to make sure not to be seen...or heard for that matter! I'm pretty sure it'll be a bigger concern near Hasma, but it's better safe than sorry.

[Oh. Yeah. Maybe shoes for cats would be too obvious.]

Right!

[He crouches down and starts slinking through the grass, appropriately like a cub trying to learn to hunt by imitating their parents. He wiggles his butt as he goes.]

[Carly does her best not to move too fast- which is rather tricky being a snake. She fortunately has the foresight to stick to a route that has more cover for the lion cub- on her own, it was easy to just duck under anything and everything around. With Steven they need to add another layer of cover...

But it isn't far. She slips into her little studio nook easily, beckoning Steven in from there. In the dark, it's tricky to make most of the supplies and equipment out- as it is, Carly seems intent on making it even darker, pulling curtains over any windows and making sure as little light from the outside can get in after them.

Only when it's dark, does she use her fire for small 'lanterns'.

Phew...

...Let's get you dressed up, hmm? [For the most part, the studio seems littered with sheets of fabric- there are definitely long, stiff wires as she mentioned however, and a few accessories that she'll no doubt break down into something toward the disguise.] ...We should probably make sure I can sit with you under it comfortably...
