Echo Incursion: Monsters Walk the Earth
New Los Angeles. A city that was a shell of its former self. While Locke City, on the other end of the continent, had mostly risen from the ashes, Los Angeles as still a ruin and home to those few people who had managed to escape the destruction that devastated half of their country. Lawlessness and corruption ruled the streets, between both the groups of criminals and the military that kept the peace.
But it seemed things were finally beginning to change, here. Construction was going on in the heart of the city, which brought jobs. The governing body seemed to have a task that they could build towards, instead of simply chafing against the might of general Miller. It seemed that with this, that even with much work to be done, the long nightmare was soon to be over.
... At least, that's what it seemed like, until October ended.
It began in the areas that once played host to the film industry's studios and backlots, but soon spread out to the entire city. Halloween had passed, but it seemed almost like the fixation on the macabre had brought something terrible to life. Creatures that looked like they'd literally been born out of old black and white monster films stalked the city, like grim reminders of L.A.'s former glory. By Sunday, the news reached the national stage, with video footage of the apparitions being spread around like wildfire.
The governor made a statement, stating that General Miller and his forces would do everything in their power to deal with these things. That New L.A. had been dealing with monsters of a sort already. As such, increased patrols began in earnest from the eighth onward. But for that time, the danger would come not just from them, or the various progressive forms of the Vermini (which were also present in the city), but from the creatures of the night that now walked the city's ruined streets.
[OOC: Please refer to the plot post for any details and specifics for the event, and the beastiary for any details on the Vermedi/Vermini.
