eudora approached someone on the streets, her notepad in her hands. “excuse me? could i ask you a couple questions about the gang wars going on? i’m writing an article for the paper.”

@mcrcki​ | for Marlene

Why had he agreed on being the damn get away driver? Why was he in this situation to begin with? He hated every second of this. From one war into a another, it felt like he was cursed. But he already knew that he was. Sitting on a park bench, running a hand through his hair, he sighed. Not even knowing that Marlene had seen him and was approaching him.

mara jade had spent a lot of time consumed with the dark side; her whole life up until she got here, actually. she had been the emperors hand, an assassin to palpatine, and later in life, a smuggler. she had spent a lot of her life killing rebels and corrupt imperials and just knew it as a way of life. after arriving here, and learning the way that things worked, she had decided to join the hargreeves as a hit(wo)man. she was willing to kill anyone whom they needed out of their way with no questions asked. she was well respected as most people were intimidated or scared of her; something she was well used to. 

her search for luke skywalker continued, even when she got here. the last task that she was given from palpatine, as he was dying, was to find skywalker and kill him. after a while of searching, she found nothing; no leads. no skywalker. she grew weary and as she felt the connection from palpatine disappear, so did her desire to kill luke skywalker. 

as she took a sip from her drink, she looked up to see someone standing over her, probably to give her another job for the night, which she was hoping she could have off. “can i help you?” she asked, placing her drink back down on the table. “i was hoping to have the night off, if you don’t mind.”

“ a little party never killed nobody “ 

it starts with a cheer throughout all the homes in washington, dc. televisions broadcast the clock counting down and yells follow the countdown. ten, nine, eight - the countdown continues. new years resolutions are filled throughout the city, to find loved one, for friends and family to remember, to have a better year than last year. seven, six, five - the champagne and bubbly are filled in glasses for those who wish to drink, fun accessories worn to welcome the new year. four - the cheers get louder as the final three seconds of 2019 continue the count down. three, two, one. but once ‘one’ is said or heard - the televisions blink. the cellphones, the fancy cars, the debit and credit cards are gone. technology of the 21st century are void from ever existing.

2019 has ended, 2020 is supposed to come, but everything has changed in just a blink of an eye. the year might  be 2020, but all that can be heard is the music blasting over radios and the cops pounding on the doors confiscating liquor. the roaring twenties are here as the clock strikes midnight; it’s as if modern day never existed. the bars are empty, those who once found themselves as bartenders are no longer such - unless they find themselves hidden away in speakeasies. mob mentality runs through the streets because if you’re not in one, you’re against them. it’s a fight between the government and the mob - the mafia is at it’s height.

welcome to washington, dc. buildings are being constructed, bars are hidden in the back of restaurants and basements, and violent crime seems to be higher. but like always - family means blood. and with blood, citizens are finding themselves allied with forces bigger than them. influential mobsters run the streets, but there’s a war among them. diego hargreeves and alecto carrow battle for dominance in the city; and citizens are found to be either with the hargreeves or the death eaters. who they’re affiliated with isn’t something that’s chosen; it’s something the city forces upon them, except for those who manage to separate themselves in unaffiliated parties. family, couples, and friends are separated. it’s like the capulet’s and the montague’s all over again - but this time, the stakes are higher. welcome to the roaring twenties, not everything is what it seems.

TLDR;

the roaring twenties are in full effect in hiddenwashington, though no one is aware that they’ve been thrown into the past. even with leia still being president, there’s not much power there when it seems like two opposing crime families are in full effect.  the hargreeves and the death eaters mobs are at war with one another and blood is shed, families and friendships are being pulled apart, and all that’s on everybody’s minds seems to be a hunger for power. sides aren’t chosen, but the city forces the sides for the citizens in the cities. either you’re with a certain mob or against them.

OOC INFORMATION;

hello guys, gals and nonbinary pals of hiddenwashington !!! we are so excited to bring you hidden’s eighth event and cannot wait to see what you all make of it !! with the roaring twenties being a HUNDRED years ago, we thought we would bring a little piece of it to our city! we will be dividing all of us into three different groups, which you all are encouraged to interact with to your hearts contents! the mob has come to dc, and we cannot wait to see what your characters make of their presence here! feel free to go wild, plot it out with others, enjoy, and let’s see what life we can bring to this city! with that said, enjoy the 1920′s and have your characters bask in being thrown back in time as if nothing has happened! 

DATES;

january 1st - january 7th

the event will last 7 days in and out of character

THE GROUPS;

the residents of washington dc are split into three groups, which could be found here. the hargreeves, the carrows, and the unaffiliated party. if you want any of these to be changed, please message the main and we’ll get this fixed for you all asap! 

THE HARGREEVES

the hargreeves control a majority of the south end of the city, holding a large amount of speakeasy’s that remain out of the police’s sight. smuggling contraband has been considered a larger difficulty, especially in a city that’s so populated. 

THE CARROWS

the carrows control the north end of the city, each with their own philosophy of wrecking havoc. their family, the death eaters, are known to be louder and more ruthless when it comes to dominating the streets and also known for some blood shed. granted, this isn’t for everyone. 

THE UNAFFILIATED

these are the residents that aren’t affiliated with the mafia, don’t wish to be, or haven’t found a place in one yet. of course, this is open to change as the event goes on, as affiliations change over time, but these residents are more than welcome to join in the speakeasies ( if they know where to find them ) - but don’t mind the non-trusting looks. sometimes it’s hard to trust, especially when cops and detectives are under cover. 

THE MAGIC ; 

all characters are divided into three groups, all done by random.

please feel free to make a small intro for your character if you’d like. let us know what group they’re in, what their stance is, maybe a job or some fun facts about them living in this 20s world.

your characters will have no idea that there has been a time switch. this is the world they are used to. once the clock strikes midnight, they will think that for as long as they have lived in dc, it has been the 1920s.

they will keep their memory status, regardless of if they are aware or unaware, but they will think when they arrived in dc, it has always been in this time period. so your characters (if aware) remember their lives prior to the city, but when they arrived here, they think it has always been during the 1910-1920s!

you are able to take these gangs in any way your character wishes, they could be all for being in either gang, could change throughout the event, they could hate their gang, or be forced into it by family or friends. remember to get creative and explore all the sides of this. will they be happy in their situation? or try and be the rat that tells the police where all the speakeasies are?

you may have to modify your characters’ jobs, especially if they have worked as a bartender in the past. please be sure that you are aware that they may have a new job. and have fun with it.

some ideas for jobs, specifically within the mobs, could be : bruiser, hitman, runner, consigliere, janitor, distractions, underboss, soldiers, or spies.

other ideas, which could go for all three groups, are politicians, police, speakeasy workers, anything that you really could think of! and if you are unsure of something please don’t hesitate to shoot the main a message asking!

your characters will keep their powers, this magic does not affect who they are as people, just the time they think they were born in! so, if you’re a wizard, you will still be a wizard. and if your character is a human, they will stay their human selves!

TAGGING AND PLOTTING ;

please feel free to begin plotting with everyone and anyone!! we want this to be all inclusive, as you never know who is going to be out and about during the new year!!!

also, please know you are completely free to begin plotting your groups or outside your groups! friends and family might be separated for all we know!

once the event begins, please hold any and all non event threads. you may pick them up once it’s over, or start fresh with reuniting with people, returning to your character’s normal state of mind, adjusting to the lack of or the influx of memories, etc.

in terms of plotting, keep in mind that your character doesn’t think this is out of the ordinary. they think that this is perfectly normal. but also, this is a pretty big holiday! if you want your character to talk about their new years plans, go for it! just know that they will not know of this magic swell until after the event ends!

as always, if you are planning to have your character killed during the event, please message us admins as we have to keep track for the sake of their memory status! remember that your character dying will alter their memories, so plan accordingly!

be sure to tag all posts as “hwevent08″ and make sure that you tag all thing appropriately with any trigger warnings needed!

and of course, just use good judgement and be sure not to god mod, this is a very exciting event so just be sure to talk with your partners before doing anything too big!

please, as always, give this post a like when you have read it in its entirety, and let’s get ready for the roaring 20′s, fam!! have fun, stay safe, enjoy and let’s mix things up !! ♥

jeyne was so uncomfortable with this whole gang thing - she just wished things would be normal like they were before. with a sigh she grabbed her bag and left the speakeasy, she had been working for the majority of the night and knew it wasn’t the best idea to walk home alone this late, but she didn’t have any other choice. she was apprehensive about working in the speakeasy at first, the patrons who frequented the small hole in the wall were despicable, they reminded her of him - wandering eyes and grabbing hands - before jeyne would have recoiled back into her shell, but now she fought back, slapping their hands back and biting back when they made remarks towards her. when she finally got home, she removed her coat and slipped her shoes off her feet, hoping that mya would be home. “mya?” she called into the mostly dark apartment.

@cquity​ for padme | you are my mom boogie woogie woogie | cont. from here

her heart was racing, blood pounding in her ears as panic resonated in her chest. she knew going out was dangerous, but she’d found her way to be careful, to be safe.. or at least, she thought. gunshots had exploded around her, missing her just enough for leia to run, grabbing the woman who was far too close to the action and darting to safety. she wasn’t going to let anyone get mixed up in this mess when they were aiming at her. 

breathing heavy as she leaned against the wall of the ally, leia’s head rested against the cool brick as she looked up at the sky. “they were aiming for me. i’m sorry you were mixed up in this. this is my fight--” she sighed, hand going to wipe at the sweat that started to build under her scarf, pulling it off her hair after a moment, needing to let herself breathe. leia hadn’t looked at the moment until she spoke, head snapping to her as she utter a name that leia had only heard stories of, a name that she’d heard too many times in a comparison to her.. a woman that appeared in dreams, in silly childhood wishes that her parents were alive, that they wanted to raise her.. the name of her mother. “you’re-- you said padme amidala, correct?”

Closed starter for @dcpravities​

The only reason Delores joined the gangs was for protection. She had come alive in a place with all kinds of stuff she didn’t understand. Of course she joined the Hargreeves she knew them and trusted them even though she did think Diego made a mistake keeping this rivalry going. Even though she was in a gang she still didn’t feel safe so she decided to buy a gun for protection even though she knew nothing abiut guns. “F-five, you sell guns right?” She asked as she walked up to him. She knew he didn’t know her but still. “I-I want to buy one.”

@rainbowmuses​​ john //  “you’re late.” ellie stated simply, walking toward the other. she nodded in greeting to him, stepping to the side to show the damage. she shrugged, “they weren’t negotiating fairly, so i took matters into my own hands.” she wipes her nose, smearing the blood that was on her speckled on her arm to her face.
