| - MU* Telnet Address: tex-mux.mmlx.us, Port 9001 Austin was scraped into existence by criminals, debtors, and settlers. Today, its image is festive and gaudy, the romanticized stuff of up-and-coming artists and visionaries in technical industries inexplicably attractive to southern Californians looking for a cheap home. Our gangs may not be of Chicago legend, but our city is, quite frankly, a drug trading hub used by cartels and our body count has spiraled in just a couple of years. This issue is one many politicians are mute with, afraid to disrupt a network which has been set in place so well that dissent against the criminal status quo is grounds for spontaneous, lethal accidents.

| - MU* Telnet Address: tex-mux.mmlx.us, Port 9001 Austin was scraped into existence by criminals, debtors, and settlers. Today, its image is festive and gaudy, the romanticized stuff of up-and-coming artists and visionaries in technical industries inexplicably attractive to southern Californians looking for a cheap home. Our gangs may not be of Chicago legend, but our city is, quite frankly, a drug trading hub used by cartels and our body count has spiraled in just a couple of years. This issue is one many politicians are mute with, afraid to disrupt a network which has been set in place so well that dissent against the criminal status quo is grounds for spontaneous, lethal accidents. Austin is a bastion of weird in a sea of Bible Belt conservatism, which means that Changelings, Psychics and Thaumaturges find it a little easier to live here than in many other parts of the state or region. However, that doesn't translate into universal acceptance. Of the Lost, one can never know who is truly free from their old masters and who is working for them. Of the Sighted, most people view those who claim to be able to use 'psychic powers' or 'work magic' to be frauds, delusional, or members of neo-pagan religions which trigger a number of unpleasant and sometimes extreme reactions from the local Christian communities. Mostly, a psychic or thaum attempting to convince people that they have real powers will find their claims viewed with benign mockery. A too-strange Lost who is too careless with his idiosyncrasies might get lumped in with the strange 'Only in Austin...' street celebrities. It's the ones who pay attention that you have to worry about. Specifics We're a New World of Darkness MUX with support for Changeling: the Lost and Second Sight.
