conversations.value: This is the kind of place where everyone is just looking to make it through to tomorrow.
  
  There are no "normal" people anymore; the mutation wave made sure of that.  The lucky ones died within hours of that strange energy circling the globe; the rest - well, they *changed*.  Every last one, until you couldn't trust that the person you knew yesterday was even a *person* anymore - and you dreaded finding out what had changed inside you.
  
  This story is the start of a new world, one in which every character has been transformed somehow.  Some know what's happened to them; others are still waiting, afraid, to see what happens.  There are living vampires, were-creatures, people who can turn into light or melt into shadows, and more.  No one is immune to the mutation, and no one knows if this first round of transformations will be the last.  I'd like for characters in this story to be discovering themselves slowly, and perhaps not at all happily.  They could all band together, or break into factions.  They might want to stay underground or rise up and create a new order.  What happens will be up to the people playing.
  
  I expect this to be a fairly dark and adult story and welcome horrible things happening to good people. :)  It's also my desire to avoid character deaths, though NPCs may be sacrificed to our heart's content.  I will wait until we have at least two players, then will set things off!
