Themes: storytelling, pragmatism, loving
Most people know Urdr as a storyteller, but more importantly, they are also a collector and keeper of the stories that will never make it into printed books or other records. The ephemerality of these glimpses into the lives of others is what keeps them going, even now in the twilight of their life. They remember every little piece of lore they ever collected, although lately, they have started to forget their own memories and stories. Some say that they have heard Urdr tell stories that seem to go beyond what human minds can comprehend. There are rumours that the pale itself whispers to them, confiding in them the stories of the lost souls within it. But beyond that - they also need to make ends meet, bend their back in a sweatshop and take care of their family. Mysticism seldom brings food to the table.
FULL GROUP TEXT
(mandatory for members of the group and Immigration Officers, optional for others - for example various other foreigners)
The immigrant housing occupies one whole wing of La Cage, the more decrepit one, hosting families that are far from home. People love creating distance between one another. Migrants from Graad and Oranje and some undocumented poor souls live here, stuck between horrible jobs in local sweatshops and old dreams. All together, squashed under one roof, the various cultures are clashing and mixing with each other, while everyone is still trying to maintain a sense of belonging. But is it even possible to call La Cage home?
A long time ago, The Second Club was a group of youngsters, held together through thin and thick with the help of The Mentor, who was always ready to wave away the latest problem they got into and did their best to steer them on the right path. After some harsh words and hurtful deeds, the group fell apart one fateful night. Some left, some just refused to talk to each other ever again. Now after countless years, they finally meet again, at the reading of the last will of The Mentor. But there are still some unresolved memories and even unfulfilled dreams. Will the past be enough to repair their future?
Looking for a spot to unwind, spill your guts, or just soak in some good stories over a round of drinks? Well, you've stumbled upon The Regulars - a bunch of locals who've practically made the bar their second home. But here's the thing: you might find yourself a bit out of place because you are not one of them.
The Polyamorous Paranormal Pursuers (3P) are a group of more than friends who are about one thing, and one thing only - to enable their psychic abilities. They do this by expanding their minds to the endless possibilities of human connection. Through polyamory… and love. But also science – yes, definitely science.
3P is about more things than they have members, which creates a colorful tapestry of emotions, relationships, and all the drama that comes with it. Their original goal is to research psychic abilities - they test out different relationship couplings and styles, all while writing it down on a clipboard (otherwise it's not science!).
However - Humans are not guinea pigs and have emotions, hence the true science has become more of a shiny veneer of gloss on a chaotic mess of entangled relationships.
