Post is up, it's just a short excerpt about my character reacting to the full moon. It's not too important to many other characters, just another howl from another monster. :>.

Looking at faeries will never be the same again.

Is this still accepting people?

[Tsar Gatto]

I've got an Atticus post practically finished and ready to go, but Friday night cocktails caught me before posting did.

So tomorrow… probably not that early.

Just wanted to again say loving reading along with everything and the other characters - mucho looking forwards to interactions with each of you down the line!

Bugger me, that werewolf transformation was bloody spectacular; some amazing description their my friend. Sorry for not getting back to your PM, I've been at my lovely ladies' house. Shall get on that now.

@Ink Blood

We are indeed! Lemmie know if you've got any questions that need answering.

@Tsar Gatto

No need to rush, hermano. Life is about enjoying each and every moment. Thoroughly looking forwards to interacting with you!

[potatochipgolem]

@Kingfisher That is very kind of you to say! My posts are too crude for such kind words. I was worried that it would not be up to standard as I was in a rush but you've set my mind at ease. :>.

@Ink Blood Hi and welcome. Don't be hesitant to ask any of us to give you a summary of what's happened so far.

Likewise, I'm really liking how everyone's posts are playing things out. It's been awhile since I saw any large scale story get to this level. The city is coming more to life the more I read it, with each interaction made.

[DJAtomika]

In my next post the power's coming back on, fellas.

@potatochipgolem

You've got nothing to worry about, good sir, twas an excellent post.

Indeed, Santa Sombara wouldn't be anything more than an idea in my head without each and every one of you, and for that you have my utmost gratitude.

[YoshiSkittlez]

I'm thinking about jumping in on this... I have a pretty bad-ass cage-fighter human I'm itching to use...

I also have a pretty bad-ass vampire cop that hates his entire race and who he is too...

Hmm... decisions, decisions.

[Strawberry425]

Has anyone been experiencing this oddity where you've clearly read all the new posts a thread has to offer, but you're still getting an "unread" link?

[potatochipgolem]

I've not met this issue yet, however if you're doubting your sanity, the post counts at the top of each tab never lie. :>.

[potatochipgolem]

It might be me and my imagination but the IC is disturbingly quiet as of recently, is there something bothering the players who haven't posted?

@YoshiSkittlez

Both ideas sound pretty rad, although we've yet to see anyone from the cage fighting side of Santa Somabra, so that would be pretty cool.

@potatochipgolem

I think a few people are drifting off, which is why its nice to see newcomers express interest

[potatochipgolem]

@Kingfisher It is heartening to see new interests indeed! :>.

SInce we're on the topic of new things, Might I ask some questions about the setting of the roleplay that we've never discussed before?

>What is the rest of the world outside somabra like? Is everywhere like still as varied in racial diversity as this place? Or is this city uniquely so?

> Is history still the same or has the existence of other races changed things somewhat? Was it always this way?

> Are humans still the most populous race in the world, despite being severely disadvantaged?

@potatochipgolem

The rest of the world is as varied and diverse (more so in some places) than Santa Somabra, with the main difference being that crime is much more prominent here.

The other magical races all evolved alongside humanity, since the very beginning of time, so for the most part history remains th same, just with a larger diversity of species. Some famous/infamous historical figures in our timeline have different species counter parts in the Santa Somabra timeline.

Humans are the most populous race, which is the one advantage they have over the others: Strength in numbers.

Man, I'd love to just imagine all the alternate fantasy world history. Pretty similar events, but all magicy and cool. The crusades must have been an absolute mess in this world.

@Tsar Gatto

I hadn't actually considered the crusades, that's a fascinating idea. I was toying with concept that Hiroshima and Nagasaki might have involved something magical as opposed to an atomic bomb. I love considering the threat that the Hunters must have posed to everyone else throughout time, and what they've done to earn their fearsome reputation.

[Strawberry425]

I'm getting a little worried...RIengo hasn't replied in quite a while. and I'm itching to get into some rp action...

[Kingfisher]

One of the advantages of all these werewolves turning up is that it throws everything else into turmoil, so its quite easy to just drop plot lines that are unfolding with people who aren't active anymore and start something a-fresh. My characters are all available for interaction if anyone's interested in some collaboration.

[Mirandae]

Hello, I might be interested in this. I'd like to know more about a few things, though.

Is it possible to play some kind of witch/wise woman-type character? I realize that actual magic is a low-key business in this setting, but that's exactly how it should be, thus very interesting to me. Seeing as I'm coming in 'late', it could perhaps make sense that this witch lives at the outskirts of the city, in some murky swamp or wetlands.

Anyway, just want to get a dialog going, so there it is.

[DJAtomika]

@Prisk PRISK! Eyyy long time no see!
