Rainy Days

The first season was gamemastered by Arch Gamemaster, and it used The Dresden Files (a system based off of FATE).

## Campaign

### Season 1

The campaign kicks off with the marriage of Kuro to a powerful Cat Sidhe named Seoch, arranged by his mother in order to foster ties with another powerful family and extend her influence. Predictably, this goes somewhat haywire in many ways. After the group initially splurges on rare Italian suits and buys a ton of rare and exotic magical items as gifts from a peculiar shop known only as 'Dirty Mike's', courtesy of amassive budget from Kuro's mother, the wedding began, only to be crashed dramatically by the chaos caused when one of Seoch's daughters by her other husbands called in a favour she had earned from Kuro earlier in order to stop the wedding, thus breaking Kuro's side of the wedding bargain and allowing Seoch to do as she wishes, and Kuro's mother called in a favour she earned from Wanderer in order to keep it going. Wanderer, to do this, seizes Kuro and kidnaps him to the spirit world, all the while having a gunfight with Simon Greene.

The wedding is later rescheduled, and semi-crashed a second time when Wanderer shows up to explain what happened, and Kuro, after his vows are given, is kidnapped again, this time by vampires, and taken away to a vampiric embassy, courtesy of the father of Cullen, a vampire who goes by the name Robert. Chaos ensues, and Hale has a seizure, due to another inheritance from his father, visions of the future that leave one completely incapacitated while they go on. He ends up visiting Gerold, and acquires a number of fortune cookies, which he manages to physically take from his vision. Wanderer, recognizing these, tries to stop him, but Hale uses the fortune cookies, unleashing wild winds, a void, and a chain-wrapped coffin containing a man who Wanderer slays as soon as he is able, knowing the corrupting influence of fortune cookies all too well from his past in the Matrix.

Hale is knocked out by the winds, and carted off to the Embassy by 'Grandpire', who wants Hale to embrace his heritage and turn into a vampire so he will become immortal. During this time, we find out Simon Greene has helped orchestrate Hale's capture in order to fulfill a debt to Grandpire as part of his rather checkered supernatural past, and is followed by a demon named Alvion, who he has made many bargains with over the years.

A rescue attempt is made, during which an amused Simon watches Cullen and Wanderer as they head past a scattering of thralls into the mostly-empty embassy, break into Hale's cell, where three vampire women are trying to get him to turn into one, and rescue both Hale and Kuro, who uses his magical abilities to break through the ceiling and enter Hale's cell.

Of the lot of them, Wanderer suffered the most severe injuries getting out, having had a refrigerator tossed into him by one of the vampire women, and Hale was already quite battered from the attempts to get him to turn.

The group then spends the next little while planning at Dirty Mike's, which the proprietor has converted into neutral grounds under supernatural law, and dealing with Grandpire's attempts to recover Hale, which end with Wanderer's cabin in Windriver reserve being burnt down by thralled humans, Hale being taken bodily from the house by another, different variety of vampire in Grandpire's service, and forced to watch the conflagration going on above where his father and the others were locked in Wanderer's cellar, attempting to keep out the torch-and-pitchfork wielding mob. Hale turned vampire out of the desperation, needing the strength it gave him, and giving up his humanity in the process. He drained the life from thralls to heal his injuries, and charged the much-stronger Grandpire, who was celebrating the fact that his grandson had turned vampire, and simply swept his grandson into a hug while the cabin burnt in the background and a makeshift bulldozer tried to get into the cellar below.

However, in the cellar, Kuro and Wanderer were busy whipping up a ritual of destruction, and succeeded in using the cellar's many weird contents to incinerate the crowd outside, as well as Hale and Grandpire, the former having held down Grandpire just long enough that he could not use his accelerated speed to escape the blast.

Grandpire, being an ancient vampire, survived, clinging to life, but was headshot by Simon Greene, who was watching from a ways outside the blast zone and evidently felt that Grandpire would be more useful dead than alive.

Season one of this campaign wrapped up with Hale's funeral, where Hale's ghost lingered for a while, saying his last goodbyes to his father. Grandpire's body was buried under his name in a white marble tomb, and Simon Greene arranged for masses of mourners to be present for the event, possibly out of some sense of remorse for his part in events - but not likely.

Hale's ghost ended up making a deal with Alvion, which ultimately extended his stay on the mortal plane but a little while, before Hale decided the deal wasn't worth it, and forfeited his soul to Alvion and, as seen far in the future, eventually became one with Gerold as he consumed Hell.

### Season 2

Season 2 started with Dirty Mike sending Wanderer, Cullen, and Kensington along with a jogging group made of sorcerers to the slums of Trident City to bust a gang smuggling drugs and fortune cookies into the city and it's surrounding cities.

As they traveled into the slums, Wanderer, Cullen and Kensington split off from the joggers

## OOC

While Rainy Days was initially thought to take place on the Forbidden World, it was retconned to take place on Earth as there was nothing too out of the ordinary in the campaign nor the system
