Concept: On the eve of Cordelia's return, Dina Ross is discovered unconscious in her home with the dead body of her guard, by those nearest and dearest who choose to keep the news under wraps as winter continues charming. Adler begins to deteriorate without Dina around to maintain his memory.
Story Type: Political unrest, investigation
Story Length: Ongoing
Needs/Wants: Finger pointing, paranoia and tension over whose fault it is and who has the right to be in charge of what with Adler hard to manage and Dina down for the count indefinitely. Characters with useful abilities or skills can be corralled in to ferret out what happened or to help out with Dina. Others may be accused of involvement or pushed into guard duty to cover increased security around the Ross estate.
The news breaks as winter closes, when Edgar Ross decides that the Ross family can no longer keep it a secret. Please watch this space for when the plot is due to kick off, and for now, feel free to offer comment and volunteering.
You can assume there was rumour about the Ross's keeping unusually to themselves, possibly not unlike the blood sickness that is plaguing the poorer areas.
Adler player, please contact Banshee or Selkie for deets!
