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!

Does Sam want to trade up and be some variety of nobility for the next two days, then?

Actually, I just remembered I will be out of town on Saturday. How about he's like... the son of a retainer of her family that's been her friend growing up, and he comes to check up on her, arriving on Sunday?

Wait, hang on. Doesn't the curse run Friday-Saturday, not Saturday-Sunday?

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

Oh. Crap. It does. Nevermind, Sam will not be available. *cries*

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, curse it all. :(

But I hope you have fun while you're out of town, at least!

Thanks, I'll try.
