!plot: london burning, mod-post

Hi kids! So as you can see, shit got real and we're beginning the accompanying fall-out. Figuring out how best to participate?

The Party thread got written up and posted by Rory. Anyone who could feasibly have gone to the bash should go and post over there -- remember, this is the beginning; if you have a predetermined scenario for your nightmare/fantasy, you can always start with the collective here.

Journal posts! Nina's taunting the masses, Jacques is being talkative, but feel free to comment on the weirdnesses, tracking down one another, because the world outside is a very very strange place right now.

Librarians! This is magic gone absolutely batshit and someone needs to find and switch it off whilst there is madness going on -- so many people will need to have magic erased from their understanding, so many demons going deliriously crazy, etc. This is the worst case scenario, the Code Black, etc. Praetorians are out there, but feel free to have a "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" kind of conversation. Orders have gone out for everyone to do something, and it's a case of combat-zone.

Everyone's fantasies and nightmares are overlapping -- dreams tend to absorb bits and pieces of one another, after all -- so there are zombies wandering some parts of London, there is a unicorn in Trafalgar Square, there's a sink-pit in Oxford Circus and the world is being sucked into it. Whatever you can think of is happening right now, and your characters can interact with the calamity or they can flee from it, but the chaos is not simply contained to player-characters.

As we said, we've slowed game time so this is the first night/night of the party and feel free to make a mess. When we start up Day Two, it'll be the daylight hours of the following day (so likely, Librarians cleaning up the mess and the triage at Haven) and Day Three will be any residual affairs you want to get in order before we re-start time again.

Go and pull the world to pieces!

Lis, do we want to log anything with Owen and Joss, at the end of the chaos? Do you have anything in particular you want to have happen to her, or is he just going to shackle her up and give her to a Librarian?

For that matter, does anyone want a (probably fairly short since there's lots going on) log of Penn putting an end to their visions? Yes Julie, I know you want one for Dominic. ♥

	Belatedly: (sorry, it has somehow been a busy day) Yes, definitely! Owen & Joss and honestly, I think it is just someone dragging her back to reality. I want her to wind up at Haven, but is it likely for Penemue to dump her there? Definitely not a give-her-to-a-Librarian deal :/ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't know if it's likely he would take her there (I'm not sure he even knows about it yet), but he could be called there by someone (Lizzie, Dom, Catherine, just to name people who've talked about having him appear for them during all of this) who might pray for help; or perhaps by Jegudiel (who can just say his true name and he's summoned, though he says omg, whisper it or say it someplace alone or whatnot so it's not an entire horde of people who could then say "PENEMUE!" whenever they want) if she's there.
