[Fred is in the kitchen, looking like she's setting up to bake something.]

So back home, when I lived in Texas, we used to make Father's Day real special. I know everyone's got like Daddy Issues. But I was lucky. My dad loved me too much.

[She dips her head with a grin.]

He didn't want me to go to LA. Said I'd meet the devil. [Oh, the irony.] I went though and pursued a degree in physics. And even after I was kidnapped to a hell dimension, he and my momma kept looking. I bet if they knew I was missing, they'd be back looking for me.

Well anyway, I just wanted to say Happy Father's Day to any of the dads around the city.

Also John and Michael, are either of you busy later? Got something for you. [Her head gestures back to the table.]

And Chuck, if you catch this before you leave, I need three more eggs.

- Daylight Darkness Attacks Plague the City

News reports are abuzz with an alarming number of Darkness Monsters sighted in shadowed and darkened outdoor areas after noon. Following Thursday night's disturbance at the city’s Baseball Diamond, Darkness monsters began to appear during daylight hours around Sector 4. Sightings were frequent throughout the day around the baseball field.

On such incident is highlighted in the morning news. Two newcomer greeters, one by the name of Amy Pond and another who only went by "The Doctor," were on duty when they witnessed a monster near the field's dugout. They claimed to encounter a creature which the man called an“Ood-dog”, which police later identified as the common darkness monster known as rope-faced dogs. They discovered that sunlight effectively banished the monster, thanks to a device the pair called "a sonic screwdriver" and a common compact pocket mirror.

Authorities have tried to get in contact with the city’s renown Darkness Expert, Darwin Watts, for further insight on what’s going on. So far he has not responded to calls or NV-mail. SERO’s Darkness Research Division has also launched a full invesigation into the matter, and is offering monetary reward to anyone who can capture and restrain a creature within a shadow long enough for researchers to come down and study it. A hotline number is displayed on the marquee ad-bar on the bottom of all networked devices.

[Falling Shadows event has begun, withDetails Here! Day 2 of the mayhem will start after noon today! If you’d like to submit some news on local happenings as a result of monsters in the streets and shadowed alleyways during the day, please submit!]

For those acquainted with her, Sakura Kinomoto has returned home.

[There's a pause. He's waited a good amount of time to say that for sure, mostly because lots of people tended to disappear for a little while and then reappear again, and he had wanted to take that into account.

Now, though... He just doesn't have the time to keep up with it along with the rest of his work, and he doesn't want the cafe to go under when Sakura had kept his things while he had been gone from the Port for that half year.]

She had been meaning offer jobs at the Cats Eye Cafe, thus I'm going to do so in her stead. It was delayed for a while since there didn't seem to be a good time, and while a perfect time may have yet to appear, the Cafe is looking for new waiters, waitresses, and a management position.

011 [Accidental Puppy Video]

[The feed kicks in to stare at the very up close and personal view of a pink and black tongue, along with a few teeth. The camera goes sliding and the tongue moves, trying to hold onto it! But it gets away!

So Mimsy stares at it, her ears perked. One paw bats it around, sending it swirling.

... Which it continues to do for several minutes while she chases it.

However, she's not in the main part of the house. When the video steadies, she picks up the other end, giving an upside down view of the garage. A work bench is neatly to one side. A broken down motorcycle frame is off in one corner. Another part holds a pile of scrap metal.

She stops and looks up. She's under a piece of abstract art. She woofs around the phone and continues on her way.

She drops the phone. This time to nudge at a bare hand over the edge of a cot. There's a grumbled couple of syllables, but nothing intelligible.

Mimsy picks up the phone again and jumps up on the cot. She lays the phone down so it catches the underside of a chin as she gives it kisses.

One bare arm comes up and wraps around her, scruffing her ears. The other hand covers the video until it times out.

There is, at the end, a soft huff of contentment from the puppy.]

Who's actually dealt with nulls or voids before Or the tech? There are a lot of spooky rumors around but not a lot of facts. And nothing's better than first-hand experience.
