#the grey city

[bookishtheories]

In the latest Dark Moon: The Grey City update, they revealed new interesting information about the upcoming storyline!

"This story goes back 20 years before the werewolves settled down in the Sunshine City School when the new encounter and destiny began as they became one as brothers."

The Grey City will therefore be a PREQUEL to the events that are taking place in Dark Moon: The Blood Altar. It will be set throughout the 2000s, thus explaining the dates that appeared in the concept clips of the JUVENILE ver. of First Howling: ME.

The description that accompanied the second Concept Poster is just as interesting:

"On the outskirts of a port city lies a run-down house and an abandoned factory. A place where an inn is located in the dark alley Greyville, a grey city where no one cares for each other."

Dark Moon: The Grey City will be fittingly set in the town of Greyvill, a port city where everyone has to fend for themselves. The fact that Greyville is described as a city with a port implies that it is close to the sea, which is also coherent with what we saw in Teaser 1 of Under the Skin.

In the opening scene we see K (Khan?) talking to an injured man, possibly the current alpha of the pack who is about to pass his role onto K. The messy alley where this conversation is taking place also fits the description that we have of the run-down alley where the inn of Greyville is supposedly located.

One thing that doesn't fit, however, is the attitude of the characters on screen: Greyville is described as a city where no one cares about each other but K cares about the dying man and, in turn, he cares about the pups.

This contrast between the people of Greyville and the wolves of the pack will probably be very important moving forward: Greyville is a Grey City that might be violent and unforgiving. But the pack is always there for each other and no one is left behind.

Still Thinkin of Yokai Amity

Y'know, where all of Amity have pretty much become yokai creatures. I might be weak for Japanese mythology and cryptids. Or really all mythology and cryptids, but Japan has a lot and it's near never-ending meaning it's fun to continue discovering and learning stuff. But anyway!

Amity Park, practically empty of humans now. Not even following the usual rule that things do thanks to how malleable ecto is. Along with how a form usually depends on ones own thoughts, feelings, and Core.

But anyway, Amity? Kind of having some trouble now that, again, no one there counts as human. Visibly so. Which, yeah the GIW is sort of incompetent, but it's also kind of... not?

Let them reiterate, individually or even in pairs, they can easily deal with the Guys in White. Heck, even a small battalion is easy enough- but they have... a lot of people. And the backing of the government. So.

Plan B? Escape. Where to?

Well, see, they've all had to interact more with the Realms, not to mention that well, the entire town was pulled into it at one point. Which was how everyone got that last bit of ecto to push the transformations from contaminated to Liminal.

Which means? Time to escape through the Realms to somewhere, maybe even somewhen else. But they also can't stay in the Realms indefinitely. Because even with their own Cores, most of them are still Living.

But they also can't agree on a World to settle down in, not with how they're still wary of reactions. So what's a city to do?

Why, pop into multiple worlds of course. A wandering city, the entrance shifting through gates and alleys and doorways that appears through time and space.

Sometimes another haunted being finds their way through, sometimes they visit one dimension more than another- sometimes they leave one behind forever. But tales still spread of the wandering city that flickers through existence.

Me, in 2022 after having completed FOUR playthroughs of the Dragon Age trilogy: "I refuse to play any of these again until they get serious about a release date and there's proof the game's really happening" Me, in 2024, booting up Origins knowing that Veilguard is coming in the fall:

[blorbologist]

FIRST THING Erathis asks, "My child, is she cross with me?"

not 'hey how's the plan going,' 'i'm glad you guys got in okay', but 'IS MY GIRLFRIEND ANGRY :C'

and the answer. "you made. her. sad."

The immediate justification she launches into is very interesting, and as our first introduction to Erathis herself - our first meeting with her - I think it's very fitting and very open to nuance. Justice is not necessarily good, befitting a lawful neutral god.

And yet...

"I... would do anything for her. that which is within my power to do, I will."
