Mesmé

“Hiding somewhere beneath the shadows and neon lights of Angel City is the elusive protagonist, Mesmé. A lover of the gramophone, dusty books, rare art, and intricate musical machines, little else is known about our young heroine other than her vast collection of records and her affiliation with several high-profile underground organizations. Steel City Dance Discs and Into The Woods both call her one of their own, and rumor has it she is the operative behind the mysterious sonic broadcast code named MISE EN SCÈNE, which fires from the headquarters of Angel City’s Dub Laboratory every third Saturday night of the month, causing involuntary movement amongst the population. Sightings include a selection of the city’s record stores, libraries, and speakeasies, and she has reportedly been seen entering and leaving shadowy warehouses past midnight with a large, black, leather suitcase. Little is known about her origins, but word has it that she escaped a religious coven and sought refuge in an unknown Asian state, before finding her true home in the dazzling metropolis of Angel City.
