News & Advertisements

- According to promotional fliers for almost every purveyor of Afterglow Erotic Video, Today is officially recognized Masturbation Day ...and AGI is not letting anyone forget it, apparently. Fliers, spam ads to your NV, and Sector 1 billboards proudly declare it, and plenty of shops are offering discounted ways to keep your self-love pleasurable! A popular morning talk radio show is offering a call-in contest for the best live-on-the-air new euphemism.


- Deliberations in the trial of Newcomer Warren Wolfson, accused of the murder of notable Siren's Port socialite Azalea "Leah" Keelson, will begin tomorrow at 10:00 at the city courthouse.

On February 9th, Keelson, the daughter of Underground Mall owner and neutral powerhouse Astrid Keelson, was found brutally murdered and mutilated in a storage closet at the Underground Mall. Wolfson, a former boyfriend of Leah's, was arrested for the murder the next morning with what police say is "rock solid" evidence.

The facts of the murder were made complicated by the fact that Wolfson is not human but is in fact a "half-wolf," by his own admission. What role Wolfson's species will play in the trial has yet to be seen. The details of the case raised an uproar from anti-Newcomer groups, who called the murder of a Port native by a Newcomer "barbaric and representative of all of them."

"I'm confident there is more to this case than meets the eye... there's the stench of something underneath the overwhelming scent of the evidence. Once we root out the source, we'll know the truth," said Prosecutor Diego Armando, who will be representing the city in tomorrow's case.

On the other side of the courtroom, defending Wolfson, will be another familiar face in the city's legal circles. Former prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, who once worked side-by-side with Armando on last summer's landmark case against AGI, has switched sides and will be working as Wolfson's defense attorney.

"My client is a victim of circumstance and nothing more, as the evidence will show tomorrow. It is my sincere hope that, with this trial concluded, the search for the true murderer will continue - and that this time, the police will find the culprit rather than a convenient scapegoat," said Edgeworth when contacted for an interview.

The public is welcome to watch the trial, but due to the controversial nature of the case, all in the gallery must be on their best behavior or be thrown out.

Hinamori is just hiding under bed today. From the fliers, her NV, and anywhere remotely close to Sector 1. If she closes her eyes, the fliers go away, right?

Re: Masturbation Day

[soul_scatter]

Bya canceled classes and will also be at home hiding. Perhaps they should hide together?

[plum_that_snaps]

They can sit at home and drink tea and play board games. Ignore all the NV calls because of those god-awful ads. Cheers.

[icy_heavens]

Hitsu will actually play board games too, just to avoid the horror.

[blackmoonrising]

...obviously you guys need to take lessons in scowling at people trying to give you fliers

[icy_heavens]

Oh, Hitsu and Bya can scowl just fine. But they need excuses to be away from their NVs and not check them All. Day. Long. Board games work for that, okay?

Okay totally inappropriate comment but if you cancelled class on masturbation day......>_> That looks kinda bad, Byakuya. (Sorry, couldn't help it.) xD;

[deathknellgrell]

Look, Keigo!

A holiday just for you~♥

Re: Miles Edgeworth, defense attorney

[makethemguilty]

Ha...!

[Rest assured...He may be in attendance. His only disappointment that it was not himself in the role of prosecutor, where he'd be certain to get that baying wolf a one-way ticket to the pound. A guilty verdict, in other words.]

[beenwaitinglong]

That's exactly why you're not in the role of prosecutor.

[makethemguilty]

Because I actually do my job?

[beenwaitinglong]

Because mindless and unyielding guilty verdicts are not a prosecutor's job.

[makethemguilty]

Hardly mindless when his guilty is obvious, fool.

[beenwaitinglong]

Nothing is ever obvious. No blend is ever so simple as it appears on the swirling surface of the cream. That's one of my rules.

[makethemguilty]

The evidence will tell. What ridiculous nonsense you spout holds no bearing on that.

[olderthandirt]

Today for Destiny it's like reading a porn mag in public :'(

[soldierfirst]

Just. Not going to answer the NV at all today. What even, AGI.

[angel_of_death]

That screech of indignation at the Stoker household in the afternoon? That was Walter. That large crash that followed afterwards? Also Walter.

Isn't it illegal to send that sort of stuff to minors?

[tinyvampiregod]

And the follow up text to that, sent to Walter, was asking whether he was masturbating because it sounded like he was doing it wrong :3

[angel_of_death]

And then anyone who was home got to hear Walter's tirade about how no-he-wasn't and how it was none of Alucard's business in the first place.

[tinyvampiregod]

They would also get the pleasure of seeing the vampire chuckling and watching the worked up Angel of death.

[angel_of_death]

And then Walter cut off Alucard's head and stormed off to make more ammunition. The end.

[tinyvampiregod]

And Alucard got way more pleasure out of that then anyone really ever ought to.
