Dashing Rogue

The mail pile seemed larger than usual, a rogue postmaster thinking themself hilarious in mixing some mail on April 1st, but it seemed some managed to get to the addressed locations while others were received incorrectly.

“Finally, some clothin’. Proper lookin’, Gilean from the looks. No’ quite noble trash, but still troublesome if I recall. Classic sword in the image, likely compensation. Got a bit of a bulge goin’, probably a sock stuffed in there for the painter.”

With a low-toned hum, Kat downed another glass of whiskey and threw the picture away.

“No’ sure who that was meant for, but it’s gone now. Might have saved them some trouble in th’ long run. Smooth talkers are all th’ same in the end.”

I feel like it’s been a while since I made a more heartfelt post. In truth, I used to do many of them because people listened. There was a sense of community between points, and a lot of people were on the same page. But I’ll be real with y’all. I’m hurting when I look at some of this server. The things that have gripped it, and the things that are dragged to the surface. Putting behind a read more, for the sake of people’s blogs.

Explaining to people outside of this server, that you’ve encountered people ruining each other over RP and social status 100% of the time draws out this bewildered response because it’s not normal. I think it is very important to always carefully consider, obviously there are examples on this server where yes, they are that bad.

Everyone isn’t like that though. I had to step away from this server for awhile because being in the center of a lot of these things whether it be guild dramas or having a friend involved lead me to have this really bad paranoia complex. I was afraid that literally any person could hurt me at any moment, because they could either misquote me or they were a nasty person.

People are misusing secrets most of the time as a way to get over some social issue they have, I am guilty of it myself. We all tell each other, we don’t go there, we’ve never submitted. More often than not though the people who have said that have gone there, and gotten something off their chest without realizing that it’s now attached to anyone who the shoe might vaguely fit to.

I’ve seen this community demonize people to an extent where the secrets about them sound like the boogeyman, whether it be from a single nasty attitude at that time, or misinformation I have seen this server making infamous people out of one bad discussion.

The sounds of the rest of the city fade away as a heavy fog rolls over Old Town. The darkness in the corners of the streets stretch farther than they should in the dim streetlight. And with the unsettling atmosphere comes unusual strangers laying claim to the district, dwelling in the alleys that the lamplight fears to touch. With open hands and inviting words, they offer things which you’ve never seen nor heard of before. One may wonder why they ask for what they do, but all can be certain that when they leave, they will take more than they came with.

WHEN Friday, July 26th from 6PM - 9PM server [ PST ] WHERE Old Town, Stormwind City [ the entire district ] FACTION Alliance CONTACT Pleo [ or @nocturnes ]

THE NOCTURNE will be taking to the streets of Old Town for The Nocturne Bazaar, a spooky black market event. Charms and hexes; the obscure and macabre; strange ‘remedies’ and other items of dubious purpose will be offered by those just as unusual and unsettling as the goods they peddle.

But they do not just offer trinkets– these strangers offer power, tangible and intangible, and they do not accept coin. If you come to the bazaar, bring nothing with you that you cannot afford to lose.

Guides will be wandering the streets of Old Town throughout the duration of the event. We will escort you through the district and describe the contents and services of each station. Additionally, we will provide each attendee with an Inky Black Potion for a dark and spooky atmosphere! If all guides are occupied [ actively on a tour ] and you do not wish to wait for them to return, please contact anyone present within The Nocturne to receive your potion and introductory post.

OOC DISCLAIMER We ask that anyone with the intent of causing a heavy disruption [ e.g. stealing from a vendor without consent, attempting to attack or arrest someone at the market, or burning down Old Town ] to please refrain from doing so. It is in our canon that the Stormwind Guard has been paid off to turn a blind eye to this evening’s events, as Old Town is recognized as a seedy, criminal haven. However, we are happy to accommodate these types of interactions at a later time. We just want our event to run as smoothly as possible! Please reach out to us if you would like to explore this type of roleplay in the future.

Additionally, while we will be present all over Old Town, we want to clarify that no member of the community in this area is obligated to roleplay with us! Even if you have no interest in the event or any of our vendors, we will be happy to still provide you with an atmospheric post and a potion, so you can have some fun with what we’ve set up.

C.A. Burke Booksellers is opening our doors to the public! Join proprietor Cossima. A. Burke as she celebrates a new business within the village of Rustberg, Tol Barad. Burke and Daughter Booksellers, LLC stood as a loyal and trusted business within the Lamp District of Gilneas City and has now been reopened under a name to reflect the change in ownership, but never the change in the quality of customer service, production, and inventory. C.A. Burke Booksellers will be offering printing and book production services, bookbinding and repair services, a large inventory in contemporary authors of fiction, and non-fiction, as well as a small library in order to service those that simply cannot add to their personal libraries. 

Join us for the opening celebration on Sunday (July 7th) from NOON (12pm PST/Server) until night has wrapped us in her embrace (8pm PST/Server). 

“We’ll have to rack up some more gold stars soon, mm?”
