towers tall and noble
architecture of filigree perfection twined with roses
golden sunshine from the shining sky golden goo in its flowing waters
golden goo that whispers love and promises
and names itself the strange
a pretty face on shattered decay
sun goes down, moon comes up
silver bleeds the beasts that walk the streets
as the city falls to rot
come with us, be our love, be our love and pain
come and join our dreams
majesty falls, majesty rises, majesty falls
and over all She* presides
have you hurt a friend today? please do!
underneath underneath underneath it's always night
underneath it's always moon
underneath blood runs free

Strangewarp: a beautiful dream of a golden city, noble and aspiring.
Strangewarp: a rotting ruin of a dying city, bathed in silver moonlight.
A city infested by a plague that jumps from vein to brain to dream to data. A city where your best friends may be monsters. A city that will drain your blood and make you into something better. Something emptier. Something free of care and woe.
Warning: snuffplay abounds. You don't care. You're immortal. Right? You're not? Well, don't say we didn't warn you. We never hid the thorns from you.
No, really: large parts of the city operate under more extreme rules of consent. It's perfectly okay to write "Sophia sinks her claws into Charlotte's chest, pulling out what passes for her heart!" and expect Charlotte to take that hit... as long as you do the same when she retaliates. No dodging. Never dodge. Revel in the consequences, however painful they may be.
Locations
Inhabitants
here is an unedited undigested pile of Peggy's plans for the area. TL;DR: the environment is Utena x Bloodborne, and the whole area has moods that slowly change from day to day - sometimes it's able to put a polite, welcoming face atop its shattered insanity, sometimes it's not. How this will be reconciled with Charmwarp also being very Utena is anyone's guess; we'll work it out.
