[Game 21] The Pre-Show
[The main game will start in Friday's session (which will be later the same day ICly). For now, your characters have Sariel's house available to them (including internet, cable, and video games), along with the lunch he prepared. There's chicken, pies, lots of sandwiches, soup, etc. It's all very good and home-cooked. Appreciate the pigeon.
Even if we don't ICly get a chance to thread it all out, please assume that during this downtime, your character is informed of the following!
- The overall situation in this world is a bit unpleasant, as the Archangel Michael has fallen, and has spent a couple of years building power. He's been particularly active here in New York City, killing off many of the local demons serving the Prince of Wrath, or convincing them to join his side. He's the 'someone' that Madison mentioned.
- People anticipate Michael will attempt some kind of coup in hell soon, with a goal of trying to start a war to bring about the apocalypse. It's kind of been hanging over everyone's heads for quite a while, though, so people are kind of used to the pressure.
- Madison's predictions, and ability to summon people, is because he is also the archangel Gabriel. Angels in this world, it seems, are inside certain humans from their birth, and manifest after puberty, while demons either possess humans from the outside or create their own flesh to walk around in.
(You'll also find out during this that Sariel is also an angel, that Elli is a demon-possessed witch, and that the reason Maon got awkward about there being other things than just demons and angels is because he's half-fairy. Kieran is just a normal dude though.)
- Madison has bought you all train tickets to? Somewhere? To do something? He seems unsure on the details. The train leaves late tonight, after dark.
- Because demons and angels (and other things) are a SECRET to normal humans, the blatantly nonhuman among you will need to go in DISGUISE! Elli is capable of some illusions to this effect, but they will be … on your actual size/shape and may be a little comical? For example, she once disguised a baby griffin as a weiner dog. So, feel free to come up with DISGUISE IDEAS if your character couldn't pass for human easily.
- Thread among each other in this setting, catch each other up, discuss the situation as you like. If you need us in a specific thread, ping us and we'll try to get there. (And we may tag around randomly as time and energy allows but no promises).
And have fun! We'll see you tomorrow at 6 PST.]
