I've got a present for everyone. Working on an IC update currently, there will be an advancement in the main plot but if that's not your cup of tea here's the next batch of subplots to be thinking over. 

[INDENT][COLOR=SLATEGRAY][B]G M   A N N O U N C E M E N T:[/B][/COLOR][/INDENT][hr][INDENT][COLOR=SILVER]◼   [b]DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN:[/b][/color]
[indent][i]Having escaped capture at the hands of Joseph Thoreau and Vernon Thompson, the accused arsonist, '[b]Nina[/b]' remains at large. As a result of her actions, the Michaels Nuclear Power Plant was compromised and has been taken off line until the damage can be repaired. At this time, a blackout has rolled over the Northern and Eastern sections of Crescent City, plunging them into darkness without heat or hydro. From Pointe Bordeaux, to Shasta Bay, up through New Lilith to Jethrull, the city is in darkness with strain on generators and outside power sources keeping the South West region active.[/i][/indent]

[indent][i]The Familia Fierros are preparing for war against the De Vitis Crime Syndicate. As Raul De Vitis’ number one enforcer, the Russian was allowed to escape with Dante Del Fierro in toe, Francesca Del Fierro has put a hit on not only the Russian’s head but also that Raul De Vitis’ daughter Veronica. In an effort to capitalize on the hostility, the Welcome Crime and Third Street Roughnecks have aligned themselves with the organized crime families, gaining access to the arms they desire after watching their brothers cut down in cold blood by an unknown woman.[/i][/indent]  

[COLOR=SILVER]◼   [b]MONSTER[/b][/color]
[indent][i]Something is feeding off the people of Larissa. Over the past week, several victims have been found completely drain of blood, their throats ripped out. No one wants to voice the first thing that comes to mind, but the whispers at the crime scenes tell the same tale. Many believe a vampire has come to make its home in Larissa although the police refuse to take these claims seriously. One man is said to have survived the attack, however the attack has rendered him mute, or at least unwilling to speak. The man now resides in the Murdoch Mental Hospital while the rumors continue to swirl and at the very least a killer is still at large.[/i][/indent][/indent]
