Rumors

"Did you hear about that guy up in Tamarack Falls? No, not THAT one. This was a skinny guy, and you wouldn't BELIEVE what people are saying he was up to last Saturday night..."
Or:
Children who walk alone down June Berry Hill at night have been saying they hear a sad lady crying there, but nobody's around when parents come to look.

People talk.

When things are weird, people talk more.

This wiki page acts as a supplement to +bboard 21, a place for you to post tag-ends of plots and hints of story hooks you'd like other players to ask around about.

While your rumor doesn't have to be an actual conversation, as a general guideline, it should be relatively brief -- we're talking about the little snippets you might overhear walking down the street, or that your hair dresser might gleefully relay while snipping off split ends.

In each post, include a name for people to contact about the story if it is a PRP, the date the rumour is available for public consumption, and to which spheres it would be relevant.

This is also a good place to post when you, or your friends, do something to breach the secrecy of the supernatural, something which would catch the mortal public's eye.


To post a rumor, visit Rumors/PlayerRumors, edit the page and add your rumor.

Example:

People down by the docks at Lake Brunsett were all a-buzz last Saturday night about some wolf they saw, a monster of a thing, down by the shore. Said it was hauling something up out of the water, but when they went to chase it, all they found were human footprints, heading off into the woods past Phoebe's place.

Example:

"Yesterday, a whole bunch of people saw that weird light in the sky again. No, not a spotlight. This was, like, the sky itself doing stuff. Like, night turning to day stuff, blue, fluffy clouds, like totally out of nowhere, but in this line straight up from fumbuck nowhere in the fields out east of Snake Creek. What?! Fuck, no, I'm not on drugs. Hey! Don't--Seriously, the news got it on tape. The weather guys are clueless. Yeah, they're checking it out. Only seems to happen around midnight. Like, this is totally legit. There're aliens man! Hey, hey! Come back!"
