Chicago...Home of a population of over three million people.
Despite what is known Chicago is not the only corrupt City;
It is not the Second City;
It is not even a distinctly solely American City.
It was all those things once and maybe will be again.
Chicago is Chicago.
It has always had a strange affinity of death about it. It has always had its own elegance. A certain way that a hog butchered here was a 'Chicago' butchered hog. Its broad shouldered way of doing things was as distinctive as a Marshall Fields Gabardine over coat.
But this last year death has come to roost in its winter home. The death toll skyrocketed as the value of both life and the dollar plummetted. Monsters roamed both the light of day and the darkest nights. Chicago's Underworld the vast nebulous entity that was as eponymous as an american made car in detroit took several major hits. The canvas had been torn. The Capo de Capo's of the family that held reign with an iron fist... sent to the next world in a blaze of glory.
The beleagured and beset officers of Chicago's RPIT being threatened with Federal Intervention. Their numbers dwindled to a emaciated levels.
The Lycanthropes scrabbling for cohesion while maintaining their anonymity. Losing their way beneath the weight of disappearances, debacles, and deaths.
The Fae seeking a voice lost to their own machinations.
All the while the Undead sit behind their ivory castles watching as the city broils like the runoff of a charnel house. Their is a plan afoot but will anyone survive the coming storms of winter.
Welcome to Chicago...
Arm yourself.

Return of the princess « Thread Started on Oct 23, 2009, 4:00pm »
About an hour after Katrina had woke for the night she scented something strange in the air of her appartment. the scent was familiar but different enough to keep her from recoginzing it right away. lounging on her couch like it was a royal Divan was Sorcha dressed in a single sheath of gleaming ash colored satin, that ran the full length of her body and flowed out at her knees into a long train. the collar and the end of the train were work ornately with glittering hematite beads. She appeared without her mortal seeming, so her hair sparkeled like a flow of liquid sapphires caught up in an intricate style of connecting loops and held in place with a single Calla lilly. Her scent had changed since last they met now it was a rich but somhow still subtle aroma of deep musky spices and smokey inscenses. When she saw Katrina she rose to great her and even the way she moved was different, while it was no less graceful it was lesss fluid and carried with it a strage finniality, as if every move was the last move she would every make or that her movement was an inveitable fate that could not be changed. the Aura of her power had grown more defined and potent and it sang to the part of her that was dead.
"Katrina how wonderful to see you again." her voice felt like a thousand choruses of sirens singing in her veins. "I heard that you were having some troubles and that my assistance was requested." she brushed her hand across Katrina's pale cheek and the touch of the fae felt like lightning across her skin. "So what can I do for you?"

Katrina languidly stretched in her fur lined emerald silk robe. She sauntered barefoot towards Sorcha and in a strange twist of politeness and dropped the other woman a graceful curtsie that had any not known better they would have said Katrina learned in some ancient court.
She rose from the curtsie just as gracefully. Her flesh was cool to the touch since she had not yet fed from the flesh of mortals.
"I was hoping that Kenyon would be present as well. I sent a message to you both. For this matter concerns those of yours whom are within this city. Most precisely the twins. Their actions have Summoned Anton outof his fear he is planing to come about unguised for the first time and return to the politics that which he fled from so long ago. These brothers have been wreeking their own special torment upon my city. I have carefully refused and alliance with both of them however I fear in some manor I may have insulted them with rejections."
Katrina purposefully inhaled. Scenting the air around Sorcha and remaining undazed by the woman. "You have changed. You have the taste of my creator about you more then your normal rain scented self."
