February Update

Dates

February 1-29, 2012

Weather

Well, it is February, but thankfully since Cambion has the decency to be on the southern west coast, you don't have to worry about dicking with ten feet of snow (I'm looking at you, Vermont) and instead get plenty of gray skies and rainy, sometimes mushy snowy drizzle, but nothing to really shit your pants over. Hooray! There are some good days, the best of which being, coincidentally, on February 14. I smell a Valentine's day picnic! Or at least drunk anti-valentine's day sex against the outside wall of a bar. Yeah, you heard me.

Events

2 - Groundhog's day. No shadow! No time warp either, though I will gladly say that Bill Murray is and always has been a badass. There is no big celebration in town, though, because I'm pretty sure no one outside of Punxsutawney, PA really gives a shit about any of that, though that night there will be a murdered were-groundhog found in the woods near the dog park. WHO KNEW THOSE EXISTED? Anyway, the were will appear to have been killed by an arrow straight through the head while they were still in human form. Enforcers, I'm looking at you.

14 - Valentine's day. The weather is ripe, the sales of lubricants are high, and every bar on the strip is running a special for all you lonely kids out there. All you taken kids make sure you call early for reservations at the restaurant/eatery/date place of your choice, as it's no doubt going to be packed. Cambion is a city of gorgeous people, you forget. The biggest news about Valentine's day is the report of a series of attempted assaults by a cab driver on young human ladies he picked up outside of various establishments while they were alone under the pretense of giving them a taxi ride. No one at the cab company fits the description given by all the girls that managed to somehow fight him off, and until further notice the ladies of Cambion are advised against traveling by cab on their own.

21- Fat Tuesday and the launch of Mardi Gras, which will go on all week long in a street-festival type fashion to rival that of the traditional New Orleans shindig. There will be parades, another drag show, a merry go round for the kiddies, and super lax public drinking laws, though with the recent assaults on young women, the streets will be thick with police and plainclothes SWL enforcers. The week will predictably bring with it many police reports of vampire attacks, robberies, and assaults, on both residents and the tourists that will be flocking in in droves, but nothing noteworthy, and best of all, no murders. Happy February!

Bi-Weekly Update

Dates

December 31, 2011 - January 21, 2012


Weather

New year hooray! It's cold as balls (for Cambion standards) and the first snow of the year shows up on January 1 and falls every day for the rest of the week. Because it's not cold enough to stick, it melts right away, so look forward to living in a snow globe for a week! The following week is merely cold, but that's no big deal. Get out the coats, kiddos!

Events

OH SHIT SON. You know there's going to be a huge party at the Sypher for New Years Eve, and in most of the bars around the city. Taxi cabs will be out in full force, along with the rookies of Cambion City PD. Meeting end of the month quotas ftw! Designated drivers are always cool. It's a true story.

Despite this well-established fact, there are at least ten automobile accidents within the city limits, one of which is fatal. Because the driver of the car happens to be Mari Pennsinger, the owner of Cheddar Bob's restaurant, and she crashed her car into the broad side of Inferno, both establishments will be closed for the foreseeable future. Boo.

Other than that, the new year brings a mostly silent new year in Cambion, though it could be seen as the quiet before the storm.

Bi-Weekly Update

Dates

November 19 - December 2, 2011


Weather

Brrrr!!! Autumn returns (or maybe arrives) in Cambion City after the heat wave disappears behind a 2-day thunderstorm that starts on the 19 and utterly fucks any and all outdoor weekend plans, as it won't be over until Monday. After that, it's cold weather, grey skies, frosty mornings, and cold rain for the next two weeks, with temperature highs only getting to around 45°.

Events

Foooooooooooooood. Thanksgiving is almost here which means three things for Cambion City:

1. Tourists. Tourists that get picked off like someone is watching them with a sniper rifle. In the week of and after Thanksgiving, the SWL will field at least 10 calls concerning people that went missing while visiting the city. My best guess is to check Coco Moreno's basement, but you didn't hear that from me.

2. FOOD. Of all types, if you consider what I just said above. Many of Cambion's restaurants will be staying open on the holiday to take the stress off all the lovely, working, undomesticated people in the city, along with many of the bars and clubs on the strip, because Cambion City never sleeps. And some of the residents are old enough to remember Pilgrims and think they were real assholes anyway, which ruins the true spirit of the holiday.

3. Shopping. It's Black Friday the day after Thanksgiving, which means that those who are not smart enough to order all their shit online get to go stand in the cold and the rain in the middle of the night to fight with another soccer mom over a pair of Spongebob printed Fleece Pajama bottoms. So. Enjoy that.


Other than the above mentioned things, cambion is pretty quiet for the duration of time. Hooray.

Bi-Weekly Update

Dates

November 3 - November 17, 2011


Weather

Two week freak heatwave starts on November 9 and continues on for the rest of the week and through the next, leaving the air dry and hot, with temperatures topping out in the 80's. It's an Indian summer, I suppose, so enjoy it while it lasts!

Events

There's a series of strange events that slowly unfold the weekend after the party, namely missing things showing up where they do not belong, such as people, vehicles, pieces of furniture, etc. that affect only those who were in attendance at the party and stayed all night. The fact that no one can remember what exactly happened inside the party is strange, but when most things are recovered, no one really pursues it that much. That and there's far more sensational news, in the apparent abduction of two Cambion City children, who went missing during Monday's Trick or Treat.

There are currently no subjects, but Wilson Phillips, a registered sex offender who was unaccounted for at the time of trick or treat, was brought in for questioning.

Other than that, the week is fairly normal and quiet with little to no newsworthy events.

Bi-Weekly Update

Dates

October 20 - November 3, 2011


Weather

Normal fall weather had throughout both weeks. The sun shines for trick or treat and all halloween festivities, the temperature climbing to the high 70's°F which will allow those Cambion citizens celebrating halloween in the traditional sense to wear their costumes without the added weight of a jacket. Because honestly, who wants to wear sweats under a costume? Lame.

Anyway, while the weather is eerily wonderful for all the halloween celebrations, the rest of the time it will be damp, raining usually in the morning, with temperatures holding in the 60's.

Events

It's a big two weeks for Cambion City with the preparation and celebration of Halloween on Monday October 31, and the weekend-long, city-wide party that will take place on Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th. The party will get its main start at the Casino, but many businesses along the strip will also be opening their doors and participating in the celebration.

Noteworthy events for Saturday will include:

* An outdoor concert that will be sponsored by Purgatory featuring any skilled local bands and musicians that would like to sign up, running from noon to midnight.

* A huge drag show along the main drag (harr harr) that is hosted and put on by the Screamin' Queen.

* Trick or Treat for all ages for the businesses along the main strip during the afternoon, though a costume is required!


Noteworthy events for Sunday will include:

* A Halloween-inspired treasure hunt for all Cambion children at Serafina's home for orphaned children (adult volunteers are welcome)

* A dinner theater affair at the Orchid Lounge (by reservation only) featuring catered food and longer, saucier, halloween-inspired performance numbers.

* A 21 & Up Adults Only party that will held on all levels of the Sypher Hotel and Casino, including the Voyeur club on the bottom floor. This party will start at 12:01 on Monday (Halloween) and last through Monday Afternoon, though most guests, once inside, will quickly lose the ability to tell time and in the case of supernatural beings, control their powers/urges/nature as well as they usually can. The party will be policed by all working enforcers along with a few backups from other Supernatural cities, and all prominent members of the SWL higher-ups will be in attendance. If anyone chooses to leave the party, even to go outside to smoke a cigarette, they will not be permitted back inside, nor will they remember what they've done. Anyone who stayed at the party, no matter their abilities supernatural-wise, will also be unable to remember what exactly occurred.

On Monday evening there will be the standard Trick or Treat in the residential areas for Cambion's children.

Weekly Update

Dates

October 11 - October 17, 2011


Weather

Last week's rain leaves Cambion feeling cold and bleak and damp all over, and despite the fact that it is no longer raining steadily and not really that cold (about 60°F) the overcast quality of the days make it look and feels much colder than it actually is. There will be some rain showers at night, but nothing that will effect daily activities.

Events

Things take a decidedly crazy turn in Cambion this week, and by 'crazy' I don't mean the supernatural shenanigans of the weeks before, but instead the arrival of a new man in town, whom residents may or may not encounter on the street. He will be small, obviously homeless, going by the name Moses, and actively looking to hand out free breast exams to any and all Cambion residents (even the men) in the true spirit of Breast Cancer Awareness month, or so the homemade pink sign strapped to his chest will boast. Cambion residents are advised against engaging the man in conversation (he's prone to long, grandiose yarns and following you everywhere), feeding him, and definitely taking breast exam option. Moses has no clinic, and no PhD.

In more civilized news, there is little on the social front outside of the formal announcement of the marriage of Alessandra Rossi to her guard Cassius Aukai some six months before, and the happy news of their first child, set to be born at the end of January. Saturday the 15th is Sweetest Day, so remember to buy the person you love a card, and stop by the Porn Emporium on the edge of town. Sweetest Day is like Valentine's day without the class after all, and any excuse to check out some edible underwear, am I right?

Weekly Update

Dates

September 27 - October 3, 2011


Weather

It is still warm by most people's standards (if you live in the north) however the seasons display a subtle shift, with the temperatures dropping and holding around 67°F all week, with the nights getting downright chilly. Still, there is plenty of sun which makes it feel even warmer, and not a cloud in sight.

Events
Cambion City is full of festivities this weekend and for once, everything goes off according to plan. From Thursday the 29 through Sunday October 2, the downtown area will be a bona-fide Oktoberfest. There will be a parade on Saturday, German-themed food vendors and lots and lots of beer gardens. Have fun with that.

The investigation concerning the bodies that have appeared in Cambion City over the past two or three weeks is still going on, casting a slight shadow over the festivities of the weekend, but nothing that no one not directly involved in the cases would notice.

Still, there is plenty of sun which makes it feel even warmer, and not a cloud in sight.

Events

There's still peace all about town, no carnival, and nothing really supernatural outside of the norm happening as far as ghosts and phantom cases of ptsd go. The city is as peaceful as the weather all week, until Saturday when the bodies of Gretchen Loyer and Tyler Smith finally turn up after nearly two months of being missing. Cambion residents will remember the case of Loyer, the were-tiger and retired Arena champion and her human fiance, Smith when they were reported missing after the Fourth of July celebrations this summer. The bodies were found not long dead in the dumpster behind the Sypher hotel and casino, along with the remains of another man, also a were, with a severed head and a missing spine that appeared to be dead for at least a few weeks.

The bodies of Loyer and Smith appeared to have endured torture and starvation before their death, while the other, as-yet-unidentified body seemed the victim of a brutal attack. This, combined with the body of Brian Jefferies from the week before found in a similar fashion leads the SWL to believe all the incidents may be connected, and advise the residents of Cambion to be on their guard, no matter their race or abilities.

Weekly Update

Dates

September 6 - September 12, 2011


Weather

Fall is upon us, kids, and this week the weather in Cambion takes a turn to reflect as such. It never dips below 70° during the day, but at night it gets downright chilly, and many Cambion residents will awake to a dew on the grass and their cars in the morning. You nocturnal kids be sure to bring a jacket!

Events

The circus is still up and running, and all former attributes mentioned in the last update still apply, though this time the problems have returned. The hauntings are back on, this time worse than ever, and those who were especially effected by the last round of rampant ghosts and have since warded their homes and businesses will find themselves attacked in the most random areas - coffee shops, dressing rooms, public bathrooms, etc. Be on the look out.

The resurgence of ghosts will also come with reports of people appearing to randomly suffer from PTSD once again, though this time the number of people suffering would have doubled, therefore, doubling the chance that a cambion city resident will encounter someone behaving off-kilter. If a resident encounters someone that appears to be acting outside of the norm or dangerous at all, they are advsed to get the fuck out of dodge and call their local police department. Hopefully someone can be spared.

On a happy note, coming with this weekend's Labor Day holiday is preparations for another public party at the Sypher Hotel and Casino, to be held on Monday, September 5. Sypher himself will again be making an appearance, along with the standard drinking, gambling, live music and shows, and carousing. This time Voyeur, Alessandra Rossi's club, located on the bottom floor of the Sypher will also be open for attendance by non-members with an added fee, to be donated to... Some nameless charity.

August 15 - August 22, 2011


Weather

More rain, more heat. Going outside is pretty much miserable and there isn't a single sunny day all week, though the rain usually stops at night. Watch out for flash floods!

Events

The strangest event of the week is a sign that is placed in the ticket box of the carnival during a break in the rain early Monday morning saying that the carnival is closed for one week. No reason is given, no one sees any of the staff of the carnival leaving, and all the rides and food carts, and trucks are left just as they are, but are impervious to any tampering, vandalism, or robbery. It's like the whole thing simply disappeared.

With the pause in the carnival's festivities, so will the supernatural occurrences around town slack off. There will be an extreme drop in the malevolent spirits, though some may be lingering around town they will lose any ability to physically harm or attack anyone. Also, the instances of PTSD from last week? Those suffering will appear to have made a full recovery.

For the first time in a long time, all seems to be well in Cambion City, save for the constant rain. Tread carefully.

Weekly Update

Dates

August 8 - August 14, 2011


Weather

After two weeks of dry heat the rain finally comes and does not let up. It rains literally every day almost all day except for Tuesday and Thursday, knocking the temperatures down to the low 70's with the rain, and about 80° with high humidity on the days it is not raining.

Events

The investigations on the supernatural events happening in town are still going on, along with the carnival, which continues to thrive despite the rain and otherwise unideal conditions. People are still visiting the house of horrors and the fortune teller by the droves, so as always, proceed with caution.

Those things, however, take a back seat when mid-week strange, non-supernatural occurrences begin to happen all over the city. Seemingly at random, though in Cambion City there is always a reason as to why, certain people (both supernatural and human) will begin to display symptoms of severe Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, leading them to have melt downs, either violent or emotional, when something seemingly harmless triggers it. They may also talk to people who aren't there, or begin reenacting some horrible, terrifying event. It will resemble paranoid Schizophrenia to any and all onlookers, and when the person suffering from this predicament is supernatural, it will be twice as dangerous.

On top of all the chaos, random acts of vandalism and robbery are going to begin showing up throughout the city, aimed at supernatural-ran business, the first of which being the Country Goddess. Off hours, the store will be broken into and ransacked, though due to the list of things being taken as opposed to destroyed, investigators will conclude that it was someone in a panic, looking for items to make wards against the supernatural occurrences.

Weekly Update

Dates

July 18 - July 24, 2011


Weather

The excessive rains from the week before cool things off a bit around town at the beginning of the week, leaving it around 71°F for the first few days, though there is excessive humidity. By the end of the week things are back to normal for this time of year, holding steady in the 90's, with lots of sunshine.

Events

The beginning of the week is still, as it was last week, a clusterfuck of road construction and inconvenience as city workers attempt to get a handle on last week's flooding damage, but that will be cleared up by the middle of the week. Police are still questioning suspects regarding the vampire slaying and the missing Were couple from a few weeks ago, but as of press time there are no leads.

Citizens who 'bared it all' and managed to not dodge the police during last week's nudist day parade may also find themselves called in for questioning by SWL Enforcers concerning some of the acts of violence that occurred during the riot. There are at least two claims of molestation, seven of police brutality, and over twenty claims of theft. Those who witnessed or were of victim of such acts are encouraged to approach the Supernatural Welfare League directly.

Despite all that, the end of the week will round out quite nicely when a carnival appears on the edge of town, directly opposite Brecker Theme Park. Despite the fact that its rides are not as big or flashy, it is free admission and is perpetually swamped almost from the moment they begin setting up their tents.

[info]cambionmod

Weekly Update

Dates

July 11 - July 17, 2011


Weather

Of course it's hot at the beginning of the week, holding steady with the average for the last few weeks and boasting a lightning storm on Tuesday and Wednesday night. It's a prelude to the excessive rains that touch down beginning on Friday and lasting through the end of the week. There is some minor flooding and resulting water damage on the West end of town, but nothing too awful.

Events

It's a rather bizarre week in Cambion, headed out at the first of the week by officials looking for a corpse that ran from the hospital morgue after burning a security guard, then disappearing. The suspect was a young woman, seen leaving on foot, though no one is sure of who she was or where she went. Anyone with any leads are to call the Cambion City Police Department with any details that may be helpful.

Much of the downtown traffic will be at a stand still for about two hours during peak traffic on Wednesday thanks to a parade of naked people celebrating National Nude day. The parade will be filled mostly by weres from a nudist colony outside of the city limits, and they will be carrying signs concerning the 'domestication' forced on them by society, so on and so forth, though anyone is welcome to join. Though Cambion PD will be on the situation immediately, it will be drawn out because the squad will be forced to treat the situation as a riot, and the situation will quickly escalate.

Several citizens of all species (save for vampires, obviously constricted by the daylight hours) will be injured in the kerfluffle, drawing national attention to the city and swarming the streets with more reporters than usual for one evening, though thankfully most everyone will ease off once the severe weather and flooding sets in.

The rest of the week will be spent dealing with the water damage, and the repercussions of the Nude day parade, for those involved. Outside of those events, it's a fairly quiet week, with not a peep concerning the vampires or the were couple that went missing last week.

Weekly Update

Dates

July 4 - July 10, 2011


Weather

Surprise, surprise! It's hot as balls, but it's a nice, dry heat, which is just a bit more tolerable. The temperature will continue to hold steady at about 95°F throughout the course of the week, and the days will be bright and sunny, for the most part.

Events

The week kicks off, as promised, with a huge party held for all residents of Cambion City in the Sypher Hotel and Casino. Sam Sypher, a man who is rarely seen, makes a rare appearance to 'chat' with all his guests, and thanks to the free food, booze, and the rather fabulous fireworks display, it is seen as a success.

The following morning, two people who had been in attendance at the party, are missing.

The first is Gretchen Loyer, a Were Tiger whom had just finished serving a sentence in the Arena, where she'd been champion for quite some time. Also gone missing is Tyler Smith, Gretchen's human fiance. The two planned to marry in the fall, and rumors abound to what really happened to the the couple. Most people believe they ran off to elope, as those who knew the couple said that Tyler's family had been very adamant about him not entering into a cross-species relationship. Some people who are in the know believe, however, that Cormac McDorough, warden of the Arena, was behind the disappearance. Nobody likes losing a moneymaker after all, and Gretchen had drawn quite an audience.

Still, it is too early to tell and with the recent vampire slaying, Cambion Police department doesn't dig that deeply into it just yet.

Other than that, Alessandra Rossi's press conference, held on the steps of the Cambion Police department, is the only other news-worthy event that takes place during the week. During the statement she assures all residents of Cambion City that there is nothing to worry about, using a microphone and speaker system to speak over the group of Human Supremacist protestors standing on just the other side of the city line. They make an appearance at most official business held at the police/judicial building, which is within shouting distance of the city limits, so no one thinks much of it.

Weather

As standard for the beginning of July, it is hot, sunny and humid, with temperatures topping out at 103 °F towards the weekend. Lots of sunshine, lots of heat, and with the humidity levels climbing as the week progresses, there is a heat advisory by the weekend. Be thankful for air conditioning.

Events

The week before the Fourth of July is hopping with pre-party activities in anticipation for next Monday (the Fourth) when Sypher Hotel and Casino will host a party open to all residents of the Cambion township with a proper fireworks display and plenty of things to eat and/or drink.

Take that how you will.

Mostly though, it's summer as usual for the majority of the week. The schools have let out for the summer, and Brecker theme park is offering free all-day passes to students of any age boasting a report card of all A's. The stores on the strip are awash with sales and most of the clubs are running specials on drinks, cover charges, or even trial memberships in anticipation of the tourist influx through the holiday weekend.

Of course, there's also the small matter of a vampire, identified as William Joseph Preston - a retired politician and one of the key figures in the Supernatural Civil Rights movement, found on the edge of town nailed to a tree with five wooden crosses sharpened to stakes - one through the neck, one through each hand, one through his genitals, and the final through his heart. It is not broadcast on a public medium, the Supernatural Welfare League stepped in before the human population could be made aware, but those in the know believe that it is the work of a group of human supremacists that have been attacking supernatural colonies.

They plan to release the news next week via acting Cambion governor Alessandra Rossi's speech following the holiday.
