Tourist Trap?
Dear Sir or Madame

A car will arrive at your place of residence at promptly seven o'clock in the morning on Friday, November 19. Please have your bags packed, and be ready, as we would hate for you to miss your flight.
Upon arrival at the manor, we ask that you please visit the check in desk to make sure that you have access to everything that the manor has to offer. Secondly, you should check out our commons area to mingle with some of the other guests.
You will be staying in one of our luxurious rooms for the duration of your stay with us.
Dinner is served nightly at six-thirty in our luxurious dining hall, and don't forget to take a stroll through our luscious gardens. The only thing we ask that you do not do is venture out of your room at night. After all, the Winchester Mansion is a very large place. We wouldn't want you getting lost.
We hope you enjoy your stay.
You bet your ass it is. |

Wolf Creek. A dense and overcrowded city named for the narrow stream of water that once ran down the middle of what was a small mining town. Unknown to the settling humans at the time, this creek formed the border between two wolf pack territories. Wolves in a constant battle against the growing population taking over their forests.
Two lycanthrope packs; One to the north, The Caedis, and one to the south, The Aeternam. Ever mindful of the street, named for the creek it was built on top of, that draws a line between their territories as they manage to share this sprawling city. In a world where the largest cities harbor the creatures of the night and bend to the will of the immortals, the city of Wolf Creek belongs to the beasts.
Be you man, beast or any creature that goes bump in the night. Choose your alliance and come out to play.
An original character RP only! We welcome all forms of the supernatural as well as every race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and taboo.

| metempsychosis - a modern day mythological rpg on scribbld |
[Jan. 26th, 2011|03:08 pm] |
 | me·tem·psy·cho·sis
noun
\mə-ˌtem(p)-si-ˈkō-səs, ˌme-təm-ˌsī-\
Definition of METEMPSYCHOSIS
: the passing of the soul at death into another body |
Think of any long-gone deity from mythology. Now imagine that they aren't truly gone but instead that their essence lives on...is reincarnated inside of that guy who sits next to you on the bus every day. Or Maureen from Accounting. Or maybe even inside of you.
The old deities once existed, once walked the Earth, and mortals trembled at their names. Long ago, they each slowly faded out, their existence only remembered as fables and tales. During this decline, one deity gathered up and called upon his or her last reserves of power and influence to create a reprieve, of sorts, for them all. They would find their essence--their souls if you will--not dissipated amongst the matter of the Universe but instead reborn inside a mortal body. The gods would be mortal, yes, their power would be greatly diminished, yes, and they might not even remember what they once were, but they would at least exist. |

Riverview Psychiatric Center
![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) riverview_mod
----------------------------------------------------------
Six more apps until we open!
The Riverview Psychiatric Center, in collaboration
with the community, is a center for best practice,
treatment, education and research, for individuals with
serious, persistent mental illness, and co-occurring
substance use disorders.
Riverview Psychiatric Center is located in Augusta,
Maine. It is a hospital for patients over the age
of eighteen. It is a permanent home to some patients.
For other patients, it is their own prison. The Center
is capable of treating many different types of disorders.
From anorexia nervosa to schizophrenia. Each patient
is assigned their own doctor who specializes in the
right kind of treatment and therapy needed. Few of
the doctors lack the patience needed to help the patients
at Riverview, but they do their best.
While the surrounding communities view the Center as helpful,
the patients know what really happens there. The main building
is new, rebuilt in the 1980s, the other buildings are older,
with plenty of forgotten tunnels and a basement that was
once used for storage. The patients who are able to wander,
have traveled to these forgotten parts and some take full
advantage of the privacy found there. Though the doctors
can't be bothered, most of the nurses and security know about
the secrets hiding beneath the buildings.
There are some staff members of Riverview, who cater to the
needs of the patients, in exchange for favors.
Money. Sex. Drugs.
The Center isn't as clean cut as it appears.

| Forgotten Gods |
[Jan. 26th, 2011|06:12 pm] |
 |
"Immortals are what you wanted," said Thor in a low, quiet voice. "Immortals are what you got. It is a little hard on us. You wanted us to be for ever, so we are for ever. Then you forget about us. But we are still for ever. Now at last, many are dead, many are dying," he then added in a quiet voice, "but it takes a special effort."
-- Douglas Adams |
Forgotten Gods follows the deities of ancient mythologies, brought to America long ago by explorers or immigrants from their homelands and eventually abandoned or lost from memory. As their worshippers have moved on to new religions, the gods' powers have waned -- for a god, at its most pure essence, is no more than an idea, and an idea is worthless if there is nobody to believe in it. Some have passed, forgotten, from the world, while others have fallen into madness. Some have simply tried to adapt, to make a life for themselves in this place without gods, getting by on what little scraps of worship and belief they can garner. Others are more radical, intent on regaining the power that was once theirs and reviving their followings.
And then there are the New Gods. Gods of cars and computers, television and radio, cities and highways, all those things that modern Americans put their faith in. They are young, at the height of their power. These newcomers are regarded dismissively by some of the old ones, who have seen so many new deities rise and fall in their time; jealously by others, who wish to reclaim the power for their own; and by all with a deep, abiding wariness.
Inspired by the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this game invites players to step into the roles of deities, old and new, to create their own modern mythology. |

It has been a year since seal number thirty was destroyed. Since then, dozens of people from different universes - good and evil alike - have poured through the cracks in the universe that the seal created, dropping straight into the world that the demon, Lilith, so eagerly sought to destroy. Those brought through the seal proved to be nothing short of a challenge for Lilith, but with a clever plan already set into motion, Lilith managed to trick one of the Winchester brothers into breaking the final seal. In doing so, Lilith was killed - Lucifer, however, was freed from his cage for the first time in thousands of years. With nothing more than vengeance set in his heart against God and all of humanity, Lucifer began to work. War will no longer be coming. With Lucifer up top and his apocalypse well on the way, it is finally here.

| Virelay: Carnivale RPG |
[Jan. 26th, 2011|10:44 pm] |
The scent of popcorn and animal shit and sawdust permeate the evening air and the shouts of comraderie could turn to screams of terror at the drop of a ringmaster's hat. A few days ago this was an empty field on the edge of town, choked with weeds, littered with the trash of years' worth of careless vagrants. When the trucks rolled in, breathing exhaust and making the air shiver with heat, curious hands gripped the tilting chainlink fence around the lot to peer as workers hopped out to unload endless pieces of shapeless metal, wheels, hoses. Now, however... now it's as if everything's been there for years. The Carnivale Virelay is in town; there was no advertising beforehand, no flyers or showbills passed out around town, no advertisement in the local paper.
There's something here for audiences of all ages. Like thrills and adrenaline? Check out the death-defying feats of the acrobats, trapeze artists and lion tamers in the Grand Tent's Big Show! Cower in fear as the fire-breathers and sword-swallowers show off their talents--- it doesn't seem possible! Or if the Big Show isn't to your liking, sit for a spell while a real Romanian gypsy tells what the future holds in the cards for you... her tarot deck is over a century old and it's rarely wrong. There's a Ten-in-One tent where oddities both human and non wait for your perusal, and a Hoochie-Coo show where beautiful girls perform burlesque numbers for the more mature audiences. There are rides to entertain and midway games to best, and adventure around every corner and behind each tent flap you pass.
Virelay is more than a mere traveling carnival.
But don't take our word for it, buy a ticket and come on in.
You won't believe your eyes.
We promise.
