It never did to deal with the Fae. They could be depended upon to keep their word of course, but perversely this only seemed to make them more dangerous. So when a card for Moon's Gift, marked with a familiar name, was slipped under Aliyah's door, it didn't presage anything good.

Synopsis

A card for the alleged Fae nightclub, The Moon's Gift, is slipped under Aliyah's door.

Prompt

You owe a debt to someone in Wild - create this NPC.
Someone in Wild owes you a debt - you can create this NPC or hold it for later use.
Describe Aliyah's dwelling.

It wasn't the first time Anders had heard the rumor. It was all over his territory, but when Old Man Jonas showed up he knew it was for real. The Old Man was a mess, cut, bruised and battered. It was a miracle he was alive at all, deep gouging cuts across his arms spoke of narrowly avoided knife thrusts. He had told the police it was a robbery attempt, because that is what you told the police. He had summoned Anders to his hospital bed with a text. A fact that spoke of urgency more than injuries. Shit got real when old man used a cell phone. Looking at him now, laying in a hospital bed, IVs placed, suchers weeping blood, he seemed not like a neighborhood legend, but a frail and very mortal man.

Synopsis

Old Man Jonas texts Anders that he is in hospital.

Prompt

Describe Anders night to this point.

January is awoken by a pounding at his door. Rapid and frantic, like panic fire in the distance. Distant sirens wail and dogs howl in the distance. The knocking comes again, ragged and desperate. Outside someone is whispering, the voice kept low but urgent.

"January, Open the door, for Jupiter's sake," a voice hisses in Latin.

Synopsis

January is awoken by a knock at the door.

Prompt

Describe January's home.

October 29, 7 pm

Night fell on Corvus Bay like a wave of midnight gossamer. The long autumn was beginning to give way to the first hints of winter's coming bite. The crows stirred uneasily, taking to the skies from steeples and belfries, cawing raucously from beneath bridges, flapping forth from abandoned railway yards. Those wise to such things look to the skies, making obscure guestures, or leaving small shiny beads or pieces of polished metal. Even the squares, the magically unaware feel uneasy though few can say why. The sensitive, artists, poets, painters, complain of strange and dark dreams, the details of which cannot be remembered but elements of can be glimpsed in a burst of uncanny and disturbing works of art.

Rumors are abroad in the magical community too. Harold Robinson is dead. The word is on every set of lips, whispered in shady bars and moldering crypts, circulating on websites and message boards obscure and esoteric. Of the Four Harold was the oldest, a keeper of the peace who has kept blood from the streets for nearly half a century. How he died is as varied as the tongues who tell the story. Some say it was a snipers bullet, others a stroke, others still blame vampires, werewolves, stranger things. There is even a story that Old King Crow himself appeared to take Harold off. No one can say for sure, but everyone knows it means trouble... but for who?

It is impossible to distract from the main plot because there is no main plot. The entire point of PbtA is to trick the players into making the plot for you.

Post it here, if we were around the table we would all hear it anyway

Also somewhat belatedly, this is obviously an RP with mature themes. I won't be deliberately edgy but if anything that comes up is distressing to you please PM me and I will rewrite and retcon no questions asked. This is similar to the X card mechanic in most newer RPGS.

You will have to wait till it comes up in play. Essentially if you hear a name in play you get to see what your relationship to that person is.
