All over Norfork we see moments: a doctor checks with their patients, a crowd leaves a club, a magician flips off the last buzzing fluorescent over a group of folding chairs, a clerk idles the hours of a new job away, a lawyer sits in a darkened office rubbing his eyes.

They feel what is coming, even if they can't put their fingers on it yet. The opportunity for change hangs in the air like smoke - and there's no choice but to breathe deeply and hold it, waiting.

The vote is about to begin.

ORGANIZATIONS

The City: A city founded near Norfork that has been aggressively expanding for the last 20 years. This faction includes the police force of the City, the City Council, and its various bureaucratic tentacles.

Norfork Town Council: An elected group of representatives that serves Norfork. Currently clinging to their role as bureaucratic arbiters, even as the City’s council attempts to cast them as a vestigial holdover. Colloquially referred to as “city council” (lowercase “c”), much to everyone’s consternation.

Norfork Parent’s Assemblage (N.P.A.): A group of mothers in Norfolk dedicated to improving the community of Norfork. They are often at odds with the City council. They are very powerful, but also often rife with internal conflict.

The Dread Ringers: A vampire “mob” led by the arch-vampire Carmichael. They run a network of clubs throughout the City. They have recently expanded into Norfork thanks to a combination of new construction and a “community watch”, which they use as a guise to carry out various unsavory activities.

Relegated Production Industries (R.P.I.): Officially, a City-backed construction management company. They have just developed the land inside of the Divot into a business park, where they are putting the finishing touches on their new headquarters. Unofficially… maybe something else.

The Star Society: A group of 15-20 amateur astronomers seeking out the clearest skies in Norfork. They are a mix of townies and City folk, but townies always know the best spots and for some reason
The City folk can’t seem to get images that are as clear from where they live…

The Dark Abbey: Fans of the 
influencer and fashion vlogger Glymmer AKA Aina Steen. Treated very seriously. Meetups are usually by invitation only, and they’ve begun to hold raves in the derelict mining tunnels beneath Norfork. Their symbol looks like a little cartoony black castle. 

Norfork Street Artists: A unofficial group of street artists that have been pushed underground after the City’s influence began to spread in Norfork. You can still find their elegant designs under the overpasses and in alleys, but it’s nothing like it once was.

The Midnight Bower: A drag and burlesque group in Norfork. Always in search of their next iconic performance.

The people of Norfork go about their day, most blissfully unaware of just how close they came to possession. Those who pick themselves up from the pavement or find themselves behind the wheel in the middle of the night shake their heads - the stress must really be getting to them.

They have other problems, after all - bigger than forgetting they had bought six dozen eggs, or hawking up a bit of black gunk.

Have you heard about the raves? In the tunnels? A recipe for disaster. And the new “community watch”? How were you supposed to feel safe? The Norfork liaison is out for herself, the old high school leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and the cops? Well, when’s the last time they helped more than hurt?

And so, a choice becomes clear: will we invest in ourselves? Or will we accept that this is life now - taking the City’s gifts alongside its curses?

Arc #2 finale. With only hours left before Norfork loses itself entirely to the exponential threat to the Strangleworm, the trio make one final play for the fate of their home. But how many losses turn a victory to a defeat?

If you do this, you are putting all of Norfork at risk. All of your friends, people with no choice but to deal with the consequences. Please, I’m asking you to reconsider.

She warned me of the risks.

She doesn’t understand them, or she wouldn’t have told you to come.

I can’t go on like this.

Your pain is not an excuse. Not here. Leave, please. Please.

I’m sorry. I’ll fix it. I can fix it. Whatever happens.

Season two, “Norfork”, follows a trio of friends living in the edge-city of Norfork as the community adapts to the open presence of Myriads and the encroachment of The City.

A dumpster. A rooftop. A hidden closet. As the Strangleworm closes in on the people they love and they find allies becoming enemies, the trio make desperate moves to try and get ahead.

Kelly makes a promise. Nammi steels some nerves, and calms others. Rabbit makes a daring bid for control of their life.

Why have this power, but never use it? This could change everything.

It’s an ending, not a beginning.

Maybe it’s both.

Mrs. Domal,

I completely understand. I definitely didn't mean to overstep a boundary in this matter - I know your family has been through a lot and I did not mean to raise the specter of more difficult times. We of course want to continue to support Izzy's growth as a part of Troop #12. However, while it's true that the passage I attached (see previous email) was written as part of an assignment that was intended to engage the imagination of the troop members, I am worried that perhaps Izzy has taken the tenor of the question more materially than we expected from our scouts.

I have it on good authority from another scout that Izzy has mentioned multiple times that "the old high school is completely abandoned" and "if someone were going to break in, there would be no one there to catch them as long as they were careful of the cameras", and that she has "friends who would protect her, even if there were a ghost or a monster of if we stumbled into something bigger and stranger and more dangerous than we could even conceive at this moment", at which point the other scout raised concerns and Izzy allegedly told them to "be careful with whom [they] make enemies".

At the risk of overstepping once again, I must ask - has Izzy been to see anyone since everything happened? I speak for several of us when I say that we are concerned she may be fixated on ghosts and the supernatural due to unprocessed feelings over the unfortunate circumstances of your family's move out of Norfork. At the very least, it might be worthwhile to talk to these friends of hers, a pair of upperclassmen named "Ruby" Raine and "Mae" Harrison. If some of the scouts are to be believed, hanging around the two of them could inhibit some of Izzy's growth in the social arena.

All the best,
Stewart Earluy, Scoutmaster (Troop #12)

Dear Mrs. Domal,

       We are delighted to have Izzy as a part of Troop 12, she has shown a real commitment to the Norfork Scouts and attends each meeting with enthusiasm that is infectious to the other Scouts. However, her recent written application for the "Supernatural" badge (which we are admittedly still hammering down the details for) included some worrying content we thought you should be made aware of, especially given you family history. I've included an excerpt below, with some of my own emphasis on the wording that concerned me and the other troop leaders the most. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and we can discuss further details.

All the best,
Stewart Earluy, Scoutmaster (Troop #12)
