Your mods are tired and life is mean, so there is no newspaper article (yet?) Not all of this is public knowledge, so please read through everything before reacting.
But, here is what has happened this weekend:
Early Sunday morning,
Alrick Montague was found dead in his house in Rome. Cause of death seems to be asphyxiation; in fact,
all of the oxygen was drained from his body, making this not any normal attack.
( More information under cut )Currently, not much information is known. The newspapers have not published anything just yet, because the Magical Governance is withholding information.
All Faie from prominent European families should already know, however, that Alrick is dead. There has been a bit of an uproar in the Faie community, but since the newspapers and media are being suppressed by the governance, details as to why the Faie community is upset is still unknown to those who are not Faie. Feel free to spread rumors. (Or, if you play a Faie, feel free to speculate and announce information to the rest of the school!)
Also, Rome has mysteriously been shut down. Contact to anyone inside of Rome will be suspended until late Monday night and nobody will be able to enter or leave the city. This means that if your characters have relatives or friends in Rome, they will be unable to reach these people until very late Monday night.
Oliver and Laura will be detained in Rome until Monday night as well and will not be able to contact anyone from Idris until then. All suspects will be interrogated.
More information to come! :)
