It is a night in late winter and darkness covers the slumbering city. While ordinary, whole, folk sleep the Director of the Funderland Freehold makes her move. Ingrid is a Darkling; sunlight is uncomfortable - a bane that she knows shall never leave her. Darkness, shadows, are where she feels most at home. That is why the Palewraith is out, dressed in drab street clothes with a hoodie bulled low over her ethereal features.
The city around the little theme park is a mix of green space and suburban dream. Ranks decently lit streets, a shopping mall, and an expanse of green park and golf course. Take a turn here, and one might think one is lost in the country with trees pressing down on the tarmac.
This part of town is no urban blight - which makes it difficult to advertise one's presence when one is one of the Lost. Tagging (on tree bark or cant wall) looks out of place; and there is no point in leaving trail signs because the curators of the golf course (or indeed, gardeners of the council owned parks) will blindly clean them away. Or worse, they'll realise their purpose...
But Ingrid is going to try, nonetheless. She has to, as Director of the Freehold. She has to lay out signs that point the way for one never knew when or where a Gate would open leading a former slave back home. So far, her efforts have borne fruit - a set of tags that are detailed enough for her purpose, yet subtle enough not to be noticed too easily.
Presently, Ingrid pauses from her work. Her cans of spray are hidden in her bag, along with a fishing tackle box filled with stuff that could be used for trail signs and the like (and no, she hasn't used them much this night). She has found a good solid tree to lean against, whose thick branches obscure the harsh yellow street lights.
There is a brief flash from a light and an effusion of blue grey smoke as she toys with one of her foul smelling cigarillos and enjoys the sharp coolness of the night air. There is only the quiet of the deep night, the rustle of branches and the occasional chitter of night critters that dwell in this island of nature in the urban sprawl.
Alrighty then! A scene for everyone! Especially for new player characters: Verne Zyl John Doe ErlangShen
