Nightingale City's Event starter
It didn’t happen all that suddenly. Rather, one could say it crept up on everyone. It all started with the fog appearing in the rich district and some citizens of the working one talking about something weir happening with the lake. Some who could sense more than others started muttering about it being enchanted and the rumour spread fast. The water from taps turned weird in taste and those who drank it would feel sick soon after, same with those who spent too much time in the fog. Fever, throwing up, hallucinations, outbursts of anger… But all in all, it just seemed like a spreading sickness. Gas masks were distributed, public announcement warning about the water made. People kept a safe distance from the lake. And then, bit by bit, everything started changing, and the world accelerated all of a sudden. The first few cases have been noticed in the working district, but it’s not like the rich part of the city was left far behind. They emerged from the fog and from around the lake, twisted and repulsive - and definitely not friendly. If this was not enough, it began to snow. If you check the calendar, it’s till not even Autumn, yet there’s snow covering the streets and the temperature drops. Action was immediate. Gates between districts have been closed and people either locked themselves in in hopes of holding out through whatever the Hell was happening to the city or evacuating to form groups and try to survive together. The Hidden District has been closed. The Lower District seemed to be the only place spared for the multiplying monsters and the spreading infection that created them, but it’s been closed as well and those who were there at the time have to remain there. The Working District is filled with the abominations attacking every living being in sight. The Rich District is not much better off and although the monsters are more scarce there, one can barely make their way about with the thick fog covering the whole area.
Some who enjoy vintage video games might be joking about old survival horrors and the City of Nightingale turning into Silent Hill…. and ironically, they just might be right. This isn’t a game though. You won’t get a “Continue?” screen if you die. So good luck in surviving the upcoming two weeks, citizen, whoever you are… And keep out of the reach of the monsters’ claws, or you just might find yourself joining their ranks.
