You think you know London, its streets and alleys like the creases of your palm. You don't know all its secrets. In its depths are places to buy amulets and tarot readings, a talisman that permits the wearer to manipulate luck hangs alongside bottles of herbs and demon's blood. Books so ancient the pages are tissue-thin jostle against postcards of buses and telephone boxes. There are bars where the clientele don't just find the dim light flattering, but downright necessary, and the smell of brimstone lingers in the nostrils. There are corners and recesses where magic isn't trickery or sleight of hand, but blood and bone and flesh and you might -- you might -- catch sight of feathers pure as snow and light, if you know where to go. If you know how to see. There's a pitched battle being fought for this other London and your London besides -- one in which every human in existence is being counted in a gamble for souls, Heaven and Hell trying to tip the scales and grave-faced Librarians holding them steady. And all the time, people go about their lives with a little pinch of something extra in a London you'll never see. |

We need: angels (there's a lot of demons trying to influence humanity, care to counter it before the world slides into hell?) market-goers (magic can be bought and paid for) Merchants (the Market knows more than you do and it will take its pound of flesh) Havenites (need some help? Haven's got it) mundanes (because some people have got to be sane in all this madness) | | | 7:10p |
raison de la rose: an utena game
If the egg's shell does not break, the chick will die without being born. We are the chick; the egg is the world. If the world's shell does not break, we will die without being born. Break the world's shell! For the sake of revolutionizing the world!
They say that there is a secret arena somewhere in Ohtori Academy. From there, and only from there, you can see a castle hanging suspended in the sky, a castle that nobody has ever been inside. They also say that, on some afternoons, select students gather there, take up swords, and fight against each other for something incredible. Something eternal. Something miraculous. The power to bring about the world's revolution. Of course, that's just a rumor. Isn't it?
Raison de la Rose is a game set in the universe of Revolutionary Girl Utena. It is set after the end of the 39-episode anime and the semi-sequel theatrical film; it posits an Ohtori Academy that exists after Anthy and Utena leave it behind and move on to the next plane of existence. Whatever that is. Most of the familiar faces from Utena's story have also moved on, free from the guilt and karmic blockages that kept them at the Academy. And who replaces them? Who are the new class of students, duelists, rose brides, and other assorted victims?
That's entirely up to you.
This game is about a cast of original characters who have been selected to compete in the next incarnation of the duel games at Ohtori. They have been recruited, once again, by the Ends of the World; they have been promised the power to revolutionize the world––and their heart's desire––should they win.

100AD
It has been nearly a hundred years since Jesus walked the Earth, a hundred years since God took offense at the man who was to become known as his son-. He was furious when he discovered he was a fallen angel, pretending to be human. An Angel who had transplanted memories into a family and a villiage of people so he would have a backstory. An Angel who was doing what he wanted, that went against the rules and regulations that Heaven functioned with.
A hundred years since Saetan took delight in God's fury and started a war between Heaven and Hell.
2010
Today, the war is still waging between Heaven and Hell. It has esculated in fury and has left not one Angel or Demon untouched by it. The only people who remain unaware of the war being faught around them are the Humans of Earth.
Except that is about to change.
Saetan, has cast his eyes onto the Human Race as a way to win the war against God and Heaven. A way to end this once and for all but God won't allow that to happen. Instead he sends his own people to Earth to go against the ones Saetan sent, ones to get the Humans to help him.
With the war spilling over to Earth and the Humans caught in the crossfire of the war, the question is what will happen now? Will they accept that Heaven and Hell are real? Will they participate in the war? If so which side? Will they stand united against Heaven and Hell or will they be split into sides of who to support?
Only time will tell.
