News & Advertisements

- The news is flooded with contradictory reports in the wake of yesterday’s strange attack on the north side of the city. Some eyewitnesses in close vicinity claim to have seen a large red lizard creature stomping through the farmlands, but also report hallucinations of seeing the world in technicolor with floating stuffed animals. Reality Warping may be among this mysterious daywalking monster’s abilities! Still hundreds report only seeing the path of destruction left by something very large and very loud.

Several Acres of farmlands have been destroyed, and two train cars were crushed in midair, containing 43 passengers, none of whom survived. The Department of Transportation estimates it will be several weeks till the transit system is back to running on full schedule, and has rushed the production of new train cars and city busses.

As of this morning, Chief Miller has confirmed that this creature did in fact exist, and that several young caped crusaders and adorably costumed magic users took down the invisible public menace yesterday afternoon shortly after it ravaged the bus and train depot in the 4th Sector. These heroes were not available for comment and chose to remain anonymous. While police are still looking to identify the city’s heroes for interrogation, grateful Sector 4 citizens have called for an exception to the city’s anti-vigilante ordinances.

According to one eye-witness, upon defeat the monster “exploded into heart-shaped baubles”. If you have any information regarding this mysterious attack, please contact the Siren’s Port Police Department.


- Landlord Seeks Vanished Vandal
Wally Hayes, a local landlord, has come public with a vandalism complaint regarding one of his tenants, a man named Edward Nygma. When Hayes knocked on the door to collect Nygma's rent, he found the man gone without a trace... aside from a heavy incidence of vandalism inside the apartment.

"If he couldn't pay we could have worked something out. If he had to leave he could have just said so and done it without ruining my table like that," Hayes said angrily. Carved into an heirloom coffee table in the apartment was a mysterious message, though Hayes claims to have no idea what it means.

A hounding color, silver's lesser sister
Has a breath along the way, a cease.
This public chariot yields a final pause
Like Schubert did in older annuals.
But this cross borne hit more than a note sooner:
And its travels are Frosted in path.


"Gibberish, that's what it is," said Hayes. "I'm never renting to a Newcomer again!"

-Public Transportation Update Running on a limited schedule, trains will be departing between stations 1-28 on the hour. Penelton, Powerinne and Last Stop (31, Transit Depot) will be closed for repairs.

[ You're the fandom bullfrog, SP, well done if you understand that ref. Positioning the NV on a window-sill, Zuko steps back with a sceptical look as he checks it's running; he looks entirely healed since the last time he crashed into the network, thankfully, albeit as awkward as any sixteen-year-old boy possibly can. Sighing, a hand runs through his hair. ]

Um.
Hello. Zuko, here.

So ... I recently arrived and I still haven't been to many places in this city. It's nowhere near as huge as Ba Sing Se — that's the biggest one back where I come from — but still pretty large. We should go explore it. [ Oops, that was a bit out of the blue, wasn't it? Not in his head, until he checks himself. ] Here, not there. Not right now, unless — you want to? I mean, I'm free, but I can wait for you if you don't take too long, I'd like to get to know where everything is.

[ Screwing his eyes shut against irritation (yes, over himself, because who insults the people they're trying to introduce themselves to?), he somewhat starts again. ]

Or I could help you out ... maybe. I don't know how much good burning things would do. [ Lifting a hand, it's clearly on fire with crackling flames and not perturbing him at all as he forgets to waft it away. ] I've suddenly got a lot of time on my hands, if anyone wants to bother doing stuff.

... 'Stuff'? Urgh, I sound so stupid.

[ Life-changing field-trip with Zuko, anyone? ]

So another Gothamite leaves us with more questions than answers. I'm not sure if anyone could call themselves friends with Mr. Nygma, but he's gone, regardless. This was found carved into a table in his flat. He could have left a harder one, to be honest.

And yet, perhaps he's better off than us.

[And that's the closest he'll get to publicly acknowledging recent affairs.]

Feel free to solve it yourself.
