I know I haven't posted in ages, so forgive me for being a tremendous whore and just posting an advert for my new RPG based on my old RPG :P

fyi, over there, I'm Effy, not Rena (: and the game is over 18s.

INCANTO

a Marauder Era RPG

It's 1977; school's out for Summer, but this Summer feels strange... dark, somehow. It won't be long before school will start again, and Owls from Hogwarts are winging their way across the country with the promise of another perfectly normal year at Hogwarts. Homework will be piled on, the threat of looming exams being beaten into ignorant minds, but for now, at least, it's Summer, yet... something doesn't feel right. It's so much darker this year than it was last year. The days seem to be shortening beyond comprehension. The fog is thick and cold and constant, not to mention the fact that everyone seems so glum. There are disappearances being noted in the newspaper, but everything seems vague, as though someone knows what is going on, but too afraid to voice it aloud. The adults seem a bit on edge, uncertain how to handle the evil that is lurking in the shadows. The students, for the most part, are completely unaware of what is going on, even those whose parents are deep in the throes of swearing their allegiance to one side or another. The students, it seems, live in a world of their own, one untouched by the misery and doom of the outside world. Still, there seems to be something very unpleasant lurking unsaid, something creeping and crawling into the very veins of those it infects. Though there are only whispers, and people are afraid to voice their fears out loud, there are some things that cannot be fought. After all, it's difficult to feel protected by magic when the other side can use it, too.

I'm going to China in the morning. In like, eight hours I'll be on the first of three planes taking me across the worrrrlldddddd!

of course, the first plane is just taking me to Dublin, but whatever :P still exciting.

I will hopefully be blogging, but I could get too tired, but nonetheless I shall be on twitter (http://twitter.com/vicariousills) and I will be uploading pics directly from my iphone to flickr, so please check them out and see the awesomeness that is China!

I hope you're all happy and lovely out there in LJ land!

Oh. I've also made a dreamwidth account (vicariousills) so go add me if you have it :)
