At The Gates OOC

It is now the early hours of Day Two: chaos is running riot, London is in a mess and for Librarians, orders are spewing out from Rome like tickets at a good restaurant on a Saturday night. At the Library, confusion is going wild and crazy: the precogs have all simultaneously stopped producing any kind of output (apparently in nightmares of their own) and half the Librarians themselves are experiencing reactions to the magic pouring out from ground zero.

Librarians being dispatched to deal with the gold in Hyde Park

Librarians are being sent to investigate the source of the issue.

Any and all Monitors are being sent to their particular patrols to deal with the fall-out (mind wiping, clear up, etc), any special targets for Monitoring are being checked up on.

Reinforcements from Rome will arrive about midday, including a large number of Praetorians to deal with the massive numbers of demons and beasts that are causing havoc.

Triage centre within the Library in the mess hall: partners are required to keep telepathic tabs on one another at all times to ensure no one is lost in the shuffle.

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!
