Plot update
With the oilstorm all cleaned up and the Salamandry quarantine lifted, life in the Crux has gone back to what passes for normal. Except...
...it seems that the oil wasn't exactly normal, and it's had some lingering effects.
Machinery left out in the unnatural rain has begun to manifest strange "symptoms." It may seem almost willful at time, as if it's gotten a mind of its own. And that's just the mechanical objects that touched the oil. The ones that people used the oil as fuel for? It's going to be much, much worse.
Corresponding reports have come in from Daedal Hunters. The Machinata have gotten much busier lately, and the monsters within more daring. The oil seems to have somehow encouraged the fertility of the mechanical beings within the Machinata.
With that being the case, it shouldn't be so much of a surprise that a strange new plague has emerged: from the Machinata now come hordes of mechanical puppies, kittens, and bunnies. They don't seem especially dangerous or hostile--some are even quite friendly, almost tame--but that doesn't mean they're not wreaking havoc on the city at large. No official word on how to contain them has been released; reactions may range from adopting them as pets to getting guns and shooting masses of them.
OOC: Players are free to RP as they wish with this knowledge in mind. Sometime over the course of the next week, a larger scene will take place. Players interested in participating should either comment here or @mail Kudzu with dates and times good for them as well as whether they'd prefer to take part in an organized combat scene or something different. The number of different scenes run, plus their type, will depend on the response.
