Our story opens on the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, where the local humans unknowingly live beside creatures of the paranormal and strange. For the past few centuries, New Orleans and all the species who dwell there had lived in a relative peace. The False Silence, while exhibiting fanatical behavior, have never threatened the ebb and flow of life in New Orlean’s supernatural community. But something is coming out of the shadows…
The past two months have birthed new challenges for everyone. People, locals and tourists alike, are going missing. All human, all random. No one truly knows what happened but everyone is quick to point fingers. Maybe it was the wolves having too much fun in the woods. Or perhaps the mermaids and sirens of Gentilly are becoming more vicious than usual. Perhaps the vampires are sick of their docile way of life and are picking off humans when they can.
Rumors, every single one of them. But still, rumors are just as lethal as poison and guns. It only takes one to tug at the seams of the hard fought peace.
As everyone lives their lives and deals with their own problems, they become ignorant of the true threat in the shadows. No one suspects, no one is prepared. In a city already full of religious tensions, inter-species conflicts and plays for power, what will become of us?
New Orleans is calling, my friends. Better shut and lock the door.
ooc:
WELCOME! As we begin roleplaying, I wanted to set the stage a bit. The news and media in New Orleans has been FULL of articles and reports about the missing people in New Orleans. All are human and no evidence has been found to point the police anywhere, but everyone draws their own conclusions from time to time. Besides the basic plot, this roleplay is your playground. As long as you follow the rules and the plot, everything should be good.
You may post character intros if you want and tag them: kismetintros.
Today is the day! We’re officially opening at 7pm EST! Big shoutout to D and Ann for helping out and for giving me the idea for this rp in the first place! You guys are amazing!
We have many different scenarios to play out as well as many open occupations and slots for leadership, including Mayor of New Orleans and Leader of the Gentilly Mermaid Pod.
I’m super excited for this to go down. If you have any questions, I’ll be on and/or mobile all day! Thank you!
The virus has run its course, and the city has returned to normal. Or as normal as can be expected. The wolves are still reeling from the change at the hands of the Blood Moon followed so quickly on the heels of the virus. Those infected are picking up the pieces of their lives, attempting to return their darkest nightmares to the deepest crevices of their minds, but some things cannot be unseen or undreamed. The supernatural community, at large, still struggles to come to terms with the fact that they are just as vulnerable to sickness, madness, and death as the humans they thought so weak.
In the shadows, questions still lurk even as most try to forget the past week: where did this virus come from? Did it have natural causes or are there darker forces at work in our beloved city?
Altogether, “normal” may take longer to achieve than anyone can project, but the spirit of resilience so unique to New Orleans is alive and well in each of its residents.
OOC Info:
- The event has ended and normal interactions can now be resumed. You are, of course, welcome to continue threads started during the event but no ones pertaining to the virus should be started.
- How your character (whether they were infected or not) was affected by the virus is completely up to you.
- We hope that you enjoyed this, our first event, and that it allowed you to explore parts of your character you may not have previously considered or parts considered but less explored.
Be on the lookout for new things on the horizon and thank you for your participation.
