SKELORIC: hangedman1984:I is teh winner, or one of five anyway With your 5th post, you told us that you were one of the five. Heh.
Plagued:About time it was used as a signature city. Here's hoping my group decides to pick this one up instead of just doing a few one shots.
Staten Island
The southwestern borough of the city, Staten Island is also the least populated. It's partly urban and partly suburban in makeup, connected to Brooklyn via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. The island features a number of parks and beaches, and a 260-acre wildlife preserve. The borough has a very high concentration of Italian-Americans, and Sin-Eaters who operate in the area are perhaps more prone to cannibalize Catholic ritual for their ceremonies and observations.
One of the more notorious places in Staten Island is the Kreischer Mansion, a haunted house with a grisly past. The house was long rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of members of the Kreischer family; even when converted into a restaurant in 1996, employees claimed to hear slamming doors and voices arguing when nobody was around. But more recently, it was discovered that a grisly murder had taken place there in 1995, the victim dismembered and burned in the furnace. The local Sin-Eaters keep an eye on the place, as it seems evident that a cenote has formed in its basement. With the current owner planning to donate the house to an worthy charitable organization, a few krewes have discussed the possibility of making a bid to own it themselves and make the mansion into a central gathering point for New York's ***** (sorry, can't give you everything!-KB)
