Time stops for no man or beast and we march ever forward. The wheels of fate spin wildly.

Hello, my doves. It’s been some time since we last held correspondence, though my dearest and I have watched over you all for these past few months. Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder, but I’m not here to offer sentimentalities, rather I’m presenting you with several leads for your enjoyment…well, mine, but your consideration. 

001. Our children suffer for the avarice of others. The Black Market has wreaked havoc in your community for years, growing without limits, poisoning the minds of the disenfranchised humans among you and worst of all…turning my children and Hers into commodities. Those behind a velvet curtain have tapped into the inferiority complex of these beautifully mundane creatures, turning them against those twice blessed by yours truly. Some say they deserve empathy, but I cannot spare a single drop. Perhaps, you will approach the matter differently…all I ask is that you excise the Underground of this verdant tree and its poisoned roots. 

002. Be wary, children, of the snake in the grass. How I wish I was allowed to meddle just a little more into these affairs. Seeing as one after the other unfolds, has left us feeling both disappointed and impotent…to see the hatred in these hearts, to be unable to cut the threads being weaved before us…godhood is far more onerous than any of you would understand. Either way, Cicerone and I can only hope the breadcrumbs scattered around you prove fruitful. Goodwin is…a problem— I cannot and shall not reveal any more than that. But fret not, children, the answers stand right before you…you need only take a closer look. 

003. The eclipsed sun will hide behind the moon no more. I’m not sure if you’ve all noticed, but very strange things have been occurring lately; more than the mischievous doings of a wayward Faerie and her cursed companion. There’s something amiss in the air, a thorn in my side and a deadly parasite for others. Audacious creatures will always taint a God’s mercy, and this one child of a bygone era has polluted the well in its entirety. You must understand, they grow stronger with each passing day and if they’re able to remove their shackles, you will be the first to feel their wrath. It is in your best interest to stop this false God.

004. Checkmate, another false prophet has fallen. What a shame it is to watch this unfold. When a thread is woven, braided until it resembles rope and presented to one unlucky person; a thrall in this instance, flying too close to the sun. The former mayor now sits on the hand of a clock, disgraced, stripped of his prestige and soon, he will be stripped of his life. You should all be made aware that the hour draws near, he will become one of the departed and his secrets will be buried with him. Before then, you’re free to speak to this dead man walking, though there’s no guarantee that he would humor any chance at redemption. 

005. If you would like, lend me your sight. While the choices presented above are of utmost importance in my eyes, I sit on another plane and observe as one would an ant farm…if you feel I may have missed something of importance to you— summon me, if you dare…and please feel free to pull another from the pile.

The Glamor Shifts...

As with all things that shift through the seasons, so must your benevolent Gods. Our essence has not changed, nor the ways in which you know us, but after millennial, you can imagine we grow rather bored of looking the same. Our exteriors are to protect you from a light which may blind anyone who gazes upon it. Take special care, my hearts.

Be on the watch for more shifts in the near future,

Plot Drop 002: The Most Dangerous Game

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER....

Twenty-five years ago the Midnight Underground went silent. Students missed months of school, all claiming family deaths, prolonged sicknesses, or anything else parents could make up. Wizards worked tirelessly to ward homes at premium prices. Aware turned themselves into Thralls by the dozens in hopes of helping their unseen friends. Hotels were short staffed, backrooms were locked, and lights were turned off. The streets of Vegas seemed almost empty without it’s supernatural friends walking the streets and working to blend in with every crowd. For thirty days only the bravest in their safe houses would venture out for supplies. For thirty days the Midnight Underground did not move for fear of being hunted.

For Hunters, it’s the code of ethics that keeps them from crossing those poorly defined lines between good Samaritan and murderer. But there are those who prefer to hunt for sport. Their fellows look upon them in disgust and the rest of this second world shields themselves away in desperate prayers to never be caught by them. To Hunt for order is one thing. To Hunt for the thrill is another in it’s entirety.

Last night, at what was supposed to be a most blessed union, the Banshee Colden let off not one but sixty death rattles: one for each person in attendance. 

Lockdown protocol has been announced by the leaders of each circle. The rules for traditional lockdown are as follows:

You stay in your safehouse. You let no one in or out unless you would trust them with your life. Because you are.

Should you have to leave, you send one person out: the strongest, the fastest, the most clever, someone who you think will be able to return.

Due to the empty Orator seat, one has been chosen to act as Emergency Orator: Cam Kiskadden. For the time being, his word is law.

Hunter checkpoints will be placed throughout the city. Should you need to get in and move between neighborhoods, you will have to present your Underground Identification and a valid reason from your circle leader or the Orator as to why you’re leaving.

Teleportation is cut off. This is a strictly no fly zone. Everyone is required to cross access points.

There will be mandatory check in times.

THE FATES ARE CRUEL AND KIND....

When asked to roll for how well her vision was controlled:

Chloe rolled....6 (complete failure): Chloe was only able to complete 3 activities during her more lucid visions. Chloe was catatonic for 3 minutes.

When asked to roll perception during her vision:

Chloe rolled...20 (critical success): With the knowledge from Lilith, who’s body she was in during the vision, Chloe was able to make out the Mayan symbol tattooed on the hunters keeping Lilith and Juno captive.

When asked to roll for investigation:

Chloe rolled....13 (moderate success): Chloe was able to determine that Lilith at least knew of this symbol and who might be attached to it. With some digging in the archives, she could get information.

When asked to take a closer look at a car:

Cam rolled...19 (complete success): Cam saw the car that Juno was dragged away into and can describe it in perfect detail.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GAME....

EVERYONE will be given ID cards (created by Admins) that will give you your character access level. Should you be caught violating your access levels without written permission, there will be consquences.

Level One: High Priority: You are not to leave your safe house unless for expressly written permission from the Circle Leader or the Interim Orator

Level Two: Medium Priority: You may leave your safe house for supplies. Daily activities are not allowed. No work, no school.

Level Three: Low Priority: You are allowed to be doing normal activities but please be back at home before the 10 pm curfew.

Level Four: Free Walk: Continue activities as planned. You will be allowed to maintain normalcy. Be cautious and careful.

DASH THREADS from the wedding may continue as planned! Revel in your character’s happiness and excitement! All threads from here on out, until the crisis has been averted, will need to make sense given the current climate! 

JUNO IS MISSING! It would behoove you to try and work together to figure out how to get out of this mess. If nothing happens, admins won’t push plot forward and you’ll be stuck in 1984 forever!

SAFE HOUSES! Please let an admin know where you will be for your safe house. We might just have you roll to determine how safe that house is.

MU TIMES UPDATES! Throughout the lockdown, AT Jones at the MU Times will be offering updates on current situations.

THIRD EYE! Updates will also be offered through Third Eye, which acts as a place for identification cards.

INTERIM ORATOR! Cam Kiskadden is our Interim Orator. Let’s see how spicy this is about to get.

There are some things that even I am not privy to. Stay safe, my children, for I fear there is little I can do to aid you.

Sincerely

[midnightunderground-hq]

Hm, this is quite peculiar...seems like one of our darlings have gone missing...this is most unsettling given the recent events.

@serpentaint​​ ( Beryl B; The Gorgon )​​

We’ll be sending out a search party, but, these things never look good after the first TWENTY-FOUR, right? Forty-eight, you say? Don’t know where you must’ve heard that one, love, I’m pretty sure it was half that.

Please contact the main within this timeframe, or we’ll have to set you loose, love.

The aforementioned roles have been reopened and the FCs of Lee Soo Hyuk and Kim Woo Bin are available for applications. 

[midnightunderground-hq]

We do be coming at you guys with the surprise acceptances sometimes, but alas...here we are, another phantasm reeled in by the glimmering lights of the Midnight Underground!

A million congratulations, Mei! You’ve been accepted for the Specter. Please follow the checklist, and send your account in within 24 hours. Welcome welcome!

A ghost left behind in this world is such a pitiful thing, navigating a world that no longer serves them; while reading the application I couldn’t help but think of this theme of losing all that had been there prior, such success gone down the drain by the most malicious means.

[midnightunderground-hq]

We’ve got a surprise...again! If you didn’t see an app count update on the dash, it’s because this little gift landed on our door step towards the end of our day, and life and times happened but we’re happy to roll out this acceptance and add one more to our roster!

A million congratulations, Dee! You’ve been accepted for the Phoenix. Please follow the checklist, and send your account in within 24 hours. Welcome welcome!

It is a horrible thing to be in love with death indeed, Nathan was truly quite an interesting read and suffice to say kept us enchanted through the length of your application. He’s funny, intriguing and will be a wonderful addition to our cast of lovely characters!
