Les Escaliers de la Butte Sont durs aux Misereux

5-6; La Bohème
L'année est 1899 et les âmes d'une génération fêtent. Er, no maybe the year is something else. Well regardless of the year, the City has transformed to look like turn-of-the-century Paris during the Belle Époque. Corsets and can-cans tempt passersby into red light establishments and the green fairy offers a taste of special elixir to anyone who'll have her. Painters, writers, and musicians continue to hone their craft while searching for the perfect muse. Network devices might take on the appearance of the indispensable typewriter and voice posts may sound like they're coming from a phonograph. Whatever the case, the spirit of truth, beauty, freedom, and love is here and the show must go on. [The Deity Office will maintain the appearance of the elephant building throughout the curse. Afterward, on the 7th the Deity Office will remodel itself to look like this. Each tentacle tip is a laser. Yes, a laser.]

And herein is an organizational post to share fictionalized and temporary backstories for characters for the curse, plan out plots and situations and romances, and figure out who's tightening whose corset strings (no, no, no: control your own corset strings).

Please remember that the City has not turned into Paris (there's no Arc de Triomphe or Champs-Élysées, for example), but it will look like it--think of it as AU!Paris, if you will, like Moulin Rouge set in even more of a fairy tale city, exuding the spirit of the Belle Époque.

So for truth, beauty, freedom, and love and a hard-boiled egg, go forth!

SOB I MIGHT EVEN SEE FIT FOR A LITTLE BITING. Just this once while cursed, do not get used to it Myrnin.

Ahahahahaha EPIC. I do the most awful things to Dawn on curse days.

HAHAHAHAHAHA Myrnin is a very happy vampire right now of course. Dawn has to pay for her patronship SOMEHOW. He buys toe shoes and dance lessons!!


That's what curse days are FOR

I DON'T EVEN KNOW, DUDE.

ps: Faith here is still a Slayer; maybe she can know about Myrnin but they have an ~*~arrangement~*~ of some type? Ie, feed on the willing, I don't give a fuck or something.

SHE IS STILL A LITTLE CRAZY.

Totally works for me. He can point to the line out the door and ask her if they appear to have been coerced in anyway.

AWESOME. Her backstory is p much 'snatched at a young age from the streets of Boston by her Watcher, brought to Paris at said obscenely young age, said Watcher gets himself killed just shortly after Faith is called, Faith avoids the Council and is her own woman forever more'.

ONLY NOT QUITE BUT YOU KNOW. She's laissez faire enough (and crazy enough) that if people want to get bit, she won't stop them. She kills when she feels like it, and when people might die.

...And okay, she kind of uses 'DUDE DID YOU HEAR THERE'S A SLAYER WHO PUTS OUT' to lure in kills.
