Resident Michelangelo?
Just after morning sirens, a few early morning joggers noticed a new addition to the public park! A brilliantly detailed, intricately-carved marble statue has appeared in the park seemingly overnight, baffling art experts and public officials alike, who note both the Michaelangelo-level art technique and the estimated weight, which at over 240 kg is far too heavy for anyone unaided by super-powered strength to move.
The statue depicts an elegant woman in delicately-carved robes holding a sword to the heavens. The attached plaque reads simply: "For bravery unmatched, And a heart larger than most." One officer identified the face as resembling Newcomer Mary Winchester, recalled from an unfortunate brush with the law during Tom Hanniger's annual Valentine's Day rampage this year.
Authorities are unsure what to do with the statue as of now, but whether or not anyone claims ownership to it, they will be forced to remove it, to protect the delicate artwork from the elements. All attempts to contact Miss Winchester have failed. So far, nobody has stepped forward with any more information on the statue.
- Food Trucks Cowtipped by Mysterious Mutation!
Police believe a darkness creature or after-dark prankster is exclusively targeting food trucks to sabotage after siren . Over fourteen owners of mobile kitchens and ice cream trucks woke this morning to find that their vehicles were found tipped over sideways during the night. While curbside parking is not recommended throughout the city, well-proofed cars and vehicles usually go untouched by darkness creatures.
Motion-activated camera evidence brought forward by Tastee Treat Ice Cream Company, though grainy and low quality, reveals a medium-sized amorphous creature tipping trucks in their lot, leaving a sticky residue left behind.
This coincides with a first-hand witness account of the one-man genius behind Stu’s Stews, a resourceful entrepreneur who went from humble homeless volunteer at a Sector 9 soup kitchen to Celebrity Mobile Chef last year. He reported that his truck was tipped and broken into last night, while he was sleeping inside it. Stu crawled out of his window and fled for the safety of Skye Medical’s 24 hour clinic, where he was treated for minor injuries.
"It was like...this massive blob of a THING.” Stu told press this morning, having gotten only a quick glimpse of the creature. “It almost looked like it was SMELLING the truck before it tried to tear it open. I could have sworn I heard it whine."
The Siren’s Port Street Foods Union is interested in learning more about this prowler, and is offering free lunch vouchers redeemable for $25 to anyone coming forward with information about the creature. For union members, they will be offering reduced cost parking at their proofed Sector 8 garage, promising solid security.

But more than that, she looks haunted.]
I'm back. I'm alive. [Her lips press together in a thin line. She bows her head and talks to her knees.] No thanks to those monsters.
I don't know if anyone else made it out... there were no- [sniffing hard to avoid tearing up.] -shelters. Nothing Darkness proofed. [Head still bowed tightly.] I don't know if any of those people I fought with made it out alive, but if they didn't, I'm going to tell you all right now.
[She finally looks up, eyes welling now with tears she refuses to cry.]
They hunted us. They bound us, put collars on us, they put us in cages. They chased us and hunted us down like we were fucking dogs and we couldn't-
[she claps a hand over her mouth, breathing hard to rein in her emotions. When she opens her eyes again, there's something chilling and deadened in her eyes.]
When I died at home- the first time, before I came here... it was a demon. A demon pinned me to the ceiling and burned me alive in my baby's nursery, and I didn't feel as violated as I did those two days. In that cage. [She shakes her head intently, looking away.] Those monsters kidnapped children. They wanted to see every one of us die like dumb fucking animals.
I wonder what would happen if I prayed for them. [There's a weird look in her eyes. Something you wouldn't leave your children alone with.] It's the Christian thing to do.
Would I get their souls into Heaven, or their heads on a plate?
[With a last ugly look at the NV, she turns thepublic feed off.]
[Private to Jinx]
I found a plus one.
[Private to the angels]
Did you hear my prayer? [The one she whispered as she lay dying.] Please, tell me none of you- tell me you didn't go there. Please.
But more than that, she looks haunted.]

July 4th, 2012 09:49 amjustwillowHey. I've done a minor search for these things, but I figured what I'm looking for probably wouldn't be out in the open.
[She hesitates and pushes her hair over to one side of her head.]
Does anyone know if there's a magic shop here in the City? And I don't mean a fake tricks and fake blood kinda magic store. I mean like... [She lifts a jar.] Coloured Sand, Newt Eyes Or cataract salamander eyes And different objects like candles and weird looking herbs?
[And before she finishes, she has to add:]
And please don't start with the "magic isn't real / is super evil" bit. I'm not evil, And I can do magic.
[She hesitates and pushes her hair over to one side of her head.]

And then, a young boy's voice, confused but steady. ]
Hello? Mom?
[ There's some mumbling, of somebody talking to him. There's a muttered "Oh," and the call is hanged up.
An hour later, Jesse Turner tries again. ]
Hi. I'm Jesse. I thought I was supposed to be somewhere else, but I'm in Canada now. I hear a lot of people got here this way.
It's the aliens, isn't it? They kidnapped us, right? What they want? And why Canada?
ooc: and I am such an idiot for not realizing this sooner, but Jesse has arrived during the afternoon. Oops.
actually forget that this is after sirens when he broadcasted this.
this is a moment of Devi's Brain Farts.
