OOC: The description of the town was taken from the book A Dozen Black Roses from Nancy Collins. I have no idea where this should go, just wanted to take a new thread for anything and everything. Join one and all......
IC:Cities are living things. They are born and groww, mature and age. Sometimes they even die. But cities, unlike organic things made of flesh and blood, bone and sinew, do not know that they are dead. The symbiotes that labor so busily within the carcass are often determined to continue the pretense of life long after its vitality has bled away.
Deadtown was the largest of the maggots thriving within the corpse.
Most of the humans dwelling within the city are unaware that there is a sector that the elected officials pretend does not exist. It is not located on any street map. Neither patrol cars, ambulances, nor firetrucks venture into this lost neighborhood near the river. Cries for help are often heard echoing from its dark alleys and twisting streets, but seldom answered-and for good reason. For this is the rotting heart of a once-vital city. And what better place for the children of the night to gather than in a city that is already one of the living dead?
A vintage Cadillac pulled up to the curb. The windows were so heavily tinted they looked like mirrors. The door opened and the first person out of the car was a tall, striking woman dressed in low-cut black leather pants and steel-tipped boots. As she turned to face the others, her black leather jacket swung open, revealing naked breasts with stainless-steel rings piercing the nipples. She hair hung to her waist like a drape of black silk. Her features were strong and clean and would have been considered classically beautiful if not for the plethora of metal hoops and studs danging from her lips and brow ridge. In her right hand she held a loaded crossbow. She quickly checked the perimeter, then guestured to her fellow passenger that the coast was clear.
