EVENT DURATION: OCT 13 - NOV 4

Without warning, your muses find themselves thrust into the heart of an elaborate, haunting gala. One moment they were where their story last left them; the next, they awaken at the entrance of a grand ballroom—dressed in opulent costumes, a mask resting in their hands. There was no journey to this place, no memory of arriving. It was as if they were caught in a blip, their worlds fading to black, only to open their eyes in the midst of an enchanted evening.

The air feels thick, almost charged with magic, as if the very fabric of reality has shifted. The soft rustle of silk and velvet moves in time with the eerie, ethereal music that seems to drift from everywhere and nowhere at once. Faint, glowing runes flicker briefly on the edges of the mirrors, only to vanish as if a child has scribbled magic into the air. Candles flicker in their sconces, casting long, dancing shadows that move as though alive. The scent of old books, roses on the edge of decay, and something sweet yet unsettling—perhaps opium or incense—lingers in the air. It’s intoxicating, disorienting.

Looking around, the room itself seems too grand, too ancient, to exist in any known world. High, vaulted ceilings loom overhead, adorned with delicate carvings of strange creatures, some familiar, others from dreams or nightmares. Dozens of jack-o’-lanterns sit perched in alcoves, their flickering faces twisted into eerie grins, casting an orange glow across the room. Above, floating candles hover in mid-air, their soft light swaying with an unseen breeze, illuminating the darkness like spectral stars trapped in a Halloween dream. 

Your muses are not alone. Others, too, have been drawn here—strangers and familiar faces alike, all elegantly dressed, all clutching their own masks. A soft giggle echoes from nowhere, sending a chill down your spine as if someone is watching… and playing. A strange sense of unity and foreboding hums beneath the surface. Where are they? Why have they been brought here? And most of all, who—or what—waits behind the shadowed curtains of this grand, spectral masquerade?

----------THE MASKS

Each muse finds themselves holding a mask in their hand, each one unique and beautifully crafted. Some masks resemble beasts—wolves, ravens, serpents, and other strange, mythical creatures or symbolic figures. Others are more ethereal—silver veils shimmering with unnatural light or dark, cracked porcelain faces. A few are more abstract, with swirling patterns, fragmented designs, or strange, shifting shapes that seem to defy explanation, like reflections of emotions or inner turmoil rather than physical forms.

Upon waking, they hear a voice, deep and melodic, that speaks in their mind:

“Wear the mask, and the night will reveal what lies beneath.”

RULES OF THE GALA

✧ Regardless of what your muse was doing, All threads will temporarily pause as your muse awakens at the mysterious gala, fully dressed in elegant costumes with no memory of how they arrived.

✧  Pick a mask for your muse and feel free to share it in the event chat. 

✧ After writing your muse donning their mask in-character in the event threads channel, roll a d8 in the dice box to determine the mask’s effects.

 To roll a dice and participate in this event, you reply to one of three threads first to engage in the event. (The Silent Host - ballroom, The Gambler’s Parlour (game room), The Midnight Overlook -Garden/Balcony)

No dice rolls without first writing will be accepted. 

✧ Effects gained from this event will last until the end of the event (perhaps!), but how your muse handles the effects is up to you.

✧ Your muse can interact with others, explore the eerie ballroom and mansion grounds, or investigate the mysterious figure hosting the event. Characters may uncover hidden clues or simply revel in the strange atmosphere.

✧ No one can leave the gala. Just as the thought of escaping crosses your mind, a shimmering spell weaves around your thoughts, pulling you deeper into the masquerade.

✧No cell phones or technology are present on anyone’s person. Upon arrival at the gala, all devices vanish without explanation, leaving your muses disconnected from the outside world.

✧ The host remains a mystery, but the night will grow darker as the event unfolds. There may be consequences for those who delve too deeply into the truth behind the masks.

PLOT DROP UPDATE

Sinister Discord RP Server

A GOOD SCORCHING AFTERNOON TO IN LOS SANTOS!

We're so glad you can join us on our weekly recap as there's been quite a bit of action in our sleepy little city. For those that missed it, in celebration of National Ice Cream Day, those lucky few that swing by your local restaurants and cafes may receive a sweet treat.

In breaking news:

A new body has been found in The Blood Woods, bringing the total body count to a staggering 6 in two months. The Police Chief has not commented on this recent attack; however, the Mayor's office assures citizens that local police are doing everything they can to apprehend the killer. The victim has yet to be identified.

The city is rocked by yet another quake, however, experts assure concerned locals that there is nothing to worry about.

Construction on Los Santos Flower Conservatory has been stalled due to a sudden overgrowth of highly aggressive carnivorous plants. The construction company contracted to complete the job has yet to comment, and our intern Todd has yet to report back from the scene. Stay tuned for additional details.

Reports of shadowy creatures have increased in Maire Glen, and local police advise locals and tourists alike to please stay out of the woods after dark. In the wake of this announcement, the Killer Curios Starlight tours have been halted indefinitely until further notice.

The recent disappearance of the beloved owner, Cadence O'Connell, has yet to be solved. Daily Grind, a long-time labor of love by O'Connell, continues business operations as usual. O'Connell's family was unable to be reached, and all attempts mysteriously ended with a brief indecipherable message. The line has since remained busy and unable to connect. We will update with details as the story progresses.

With the recent heatwave and the strange appearance of what experts are calling The Mad Fool Moon, reports of crimes across the city are on the rise. Police have yet to comment, but video footage of seemingly normal people attacking and biting others has been circulating online. With the eight-day full moon and temperatures in the high nineties, people in the city are advised to stay inside and stay safe.

The sudden surge in tourists means our beaches are more crowded than ever! Talks of a summer festival have been delayed, but that doesn't seem to dampen any enthusiasm to pour out onto Los Santos' oceanfront. We're sure the missing children have nothing to do with the strange creature spotted off the coast. Nothing to worry about here!

As a final note, our station's intern position has recently opened up! Any hopefuls are advised to drop off a paper resume and letter of recommendation at the front desk. We can't wait to have you join the team!

Stay frosty and stay safe, Los Santos! Until next week!

Welcome to 「　LOS SANTOS ◆ — ]

Los Santos, a sprawling metropolis, stands as a captivating city surrounded by the vast expanse of the ocean, the enchanting embrace of the forest, and the towering presence of the mountains. It is a place of allure, where mortals and supernaturals alike are enticed by its mysteries. There are dozens of locations within the city, including 4 neighborhoods. Greenhaven, Sycamore Hills, Willowbrook, and Tsavo.

They are ever changing as the world changes with plot drops, so we only keep this information on our server. Please check out our server for all location descriptions and updates.

////////////////　「　the city ◆ — ]

Los Santos is a city where humans, with all their complexities and aspirations, coexist amidst its marvels and shadows of supernatural. From the opulence of Greenhaven to the humble neighborhoods of Sycamore Hills and Willowbrook, the city pulsates with the rhythms of everyday life. Amidst the bustling streets, corruption festers like a silent disease, influencing the powerful and vulnerable alike. Shadows cast by dark deeds stretch across the city, while secrets are traded like currency in the alleys and backrooms. In this vast metropolis, humans navigate a labyrinth of ambition, greed, and survival. They find themselves entangled in webs of deceit spun by politicians, businessmen, and criminals alike. Behind the facades of glimmering skyscrapers and luxurious residences, power is wielded and allegiances shift like the tides of the ocean.

///////////////　「　the forest ◆ — ]

The dense forest blankets the surrounding land of Los Santos, its emerald canopy hiding both natural wonders and human endeavors. Ancient trees whisper stories of forgotten civilizations, while the dappled sunlight dances through the foliage, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Hidden clearings burst into life with vibrant wildflowers, and crystal-clear streams meander through the underbrush, providing a tranquil refuge for those who seek peace. The forest is home to a diverse array of wildlife, from graceful deer to melodious songbirds, reminding all who enter that beauty and serenity can still be found. Yet, within the forest’s depths, darkness festers, intertwining with the mortal realm. Shadows conceal illicit activities, and the allure of power and wealth corrupts even the most virtuous hearts. Despite the enchanting facade, the forest holds secrets that can lead astray those who venture too deep without caution.

///////////////　「　the mountains ◆ — ]

Rising majestically on the horizon, the mountains serve as a majestic backdrop to the cityscape. Their rugged peaks offer breathtaking vistas, but also harbor secrets that only the bold dare to explore. Within their rocky caverns, hidden passages hold remnants of a tumultuous past, while the allure of undiscovered treasures continues to entice fortune seekers - or perhaps, horrors. There is one winding road that leads up to the mountains, a path that challenges even the most experienced travelers with its steep inclines and sharp turns. This road, carved through the mountain's formidable terrain, offers glimpses of the breathtaking landscape, from dense forests to cascading waterfalls.

///////////////　「　the ocean ◆ — ] The ocean stretches out endlessly, a vast expanse of deep blue that meets the sky at the horizon. Its rhythmic waves create a soothing symphony, inviting both serenity and adventure. The coastline is dotted with sandy beaches and rugged cliffs, each offering its own unique charm and beauty. Where the ocean meets the edge of the city, a local beach area becomes a vibrant hub of activity, perfect for swimming and fun. Sunbathers, swimmers, and families gather to enjoy the sun and surf, while thrill-seekers take to the cliffs for the exhilarating experience of diving into the crystal-clear waters below. Nestled along the shoreline near the docks, abandoned warehouses stands as a relics of the past. Vines and wildflowers have begun to reclaim the structure, weaving through the cracks and adding a touch of nature's resilience to the man-made ruins. Beneath the waves, the ocean's mysteries deepen. Coral reefs teem with vibrant marine life, while sunken ships lie quietly on the ocean floor, their forgotten treasures waiting to be discovered. The ocean offers endless possibilities for exploration, from diving and snorkeling to sailing and deep-sea fishing. Its boundless beauty and hidden depths beckon to those who seek both tranquility and excitement, making it a timeless and captivating part of the landscape.

[sinistercity]

The city becomes a haven for supernatural beings as ancient ley lines lie dormant beneath its foundations. The influx of vampires, werewolves, witches, and fae leads to heightened tensions as factions vie for power and control. Ideological conflicts arise, with some seeking to harness the dormant ley lines for knowledge and unity, while others aim for dominance and personal gain.

 Amidst this turmoil, human inhabitants are divided between support for the supernatural and fear-driven opposition. A group of unlikely allies emerges to protect the city’s fragile balance, navigating alliances, uncovering secrets, and confronting adversaries, setting the stage for a battle over the destiny of Los Santos.

Welcome to Season 2 of Los Santos: 

Something has BROKEN.

It was a typical Wednesday morning when it happened, a cracking sound that seemed to originate in the sky. As if someone, or something, was cracking the very sky like a mirror steadily fracturing under force. When it happened, it came with a loud and sudden EXPLOSION and then -

SILENCE.

Wake up.

To many citizens, nothing has changed. No notable events or items appear out of place. Only two witches are aware of the loss of something invaluable - an entire timeline DEVOURED and collapsed in on itself. This was the price for an imbalance brought by meddling at the hands of someone long since lost and now forgotten. It is this new world that has laid claim to the city of Los Santos. Ambrose Myrrdin remains the lone witness to the timeline collapse, saved and cursed by The Archives.

Key Events and Factions:

Ley Lines Flicker and Wane: As the ley lines begin to visibly flicker and wane, witch-centric crime is on the rise. The increase in magical activity is causing unrest among the citizens of Los Santos.

Serial Killer on the Loose: During the festivals, a serial killer emerged on the eve of Samhain, going unchecked in the streets. Despite claims of the killer’s death at the hands of new police chief Victor Lynch, locals believe the killer still lurks, casting a shadow of fear over the city.

Aegis and the Consortium: With a sudden rise in tourism, a new rival power, known only as Aegis, has reclaimed the ruins of the once-marvelous Consortium. Anyone brave enough to wander the dank, shadowy darkness rarely returns unscathed. The power struggle in the underground has become a significant threat.

Key Locations and Groups:

The Mayans: A feared group in the southern borders, believed to have a working relationship with Aegis. Their territory is one of the most dangerous yet strangely organized and efficient areas in Los Santos. They’ve taken over the Sycamore Hills area, making it one of the safest places for werewolves.

Heartfield Zoo and Gardens: Reopened with supernatural creatures, it has become a controversial yet popular tourist attraction. However, the zoo’s operations are shrouded in mystery and protests have arisen over the nature of the exhibits.

The Blood Woods: A dangerous area linked to mysterious murders. Locals avoid this area due to the high number of unexplained deaths, making it one of the most feared places in the city.

The Botanical Gardens: A refuge for rebel witches, though local hunters have yet to find them. This sanctuary is a hotbed of magical activity and a critical location for those involved in witch-centric crimes.

Welcome to the New World:

As a new player, you are stepping into a city on the brink of chaos and transformation. The ley lines now flicker with unstable energy, causing a rise in supernatural activity and crime. The balance of power is fragile, with factions like Aegis and the Mayans vying for control.

Your Role:

Your character will navigate this complex landscape, uncovering secrets and forging alliances. Whether you choose to align with a faction, uncover the truth behind the serial killings, or explore the mysteries of the ley lines, your actions will shape the future of Los Santos.

Join in on this thrilling journey where your decisions will determine whether Los Santos rises as a beacon of unity and progress or falls deeper into chaos and conflict. The fate of the city is in your hands. Welcome to Season 2.
