1''Undergrounds'' was a JournalRoleplay set in present-day London, which [[http://undergrounds.dreamwidth.org/profile ran for a while]] but was last updated in 2017.
2
3Lurking just beneath the surface of the city is a thriving supernatural community made up of witches, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, hunters, and even normal human beings. With rival groups clashing over territory disputes and politics playing a key role, it's anyone's guess who will come out on top.
