A recent food review of the lower sector 4 diner, a humble family establishment affiliated with AGI for over 30 years, gives glowing praise for fry cook Mama Rosie Daize and her Monday ‘Sunshine Special’, a scramble or fried egg combo with fresh squeezed orange juice which has kept loyal locals coming back for more.

The family secret, according to a recent exclusive interview with AGI cable’s Cooking Network, is a radiant empathic power served over-easy with every blue plate, a pinch of natural optimism that seems to work its way infectiously into her food and friendly counter service. A morning at Rosie’s, according to her raving fan regulars, will leave you almost giddy with positive energy for the day ahead.

Can't say I'm sorry that he's gone.

little miss power,
high in her tower,
dying to flog and to flay.
but along came a spider
who rose up beside her
& convinced miss power to play.

[ In addition to this little snippet of a poem there is an attachment sent out to a select few people, those who have made it under the radar of the illustrious Mr. M. It’s nothing fancy, just a simple image attachment that is given no explanation and expectant of no network reply. Just a little treat, a tasty morsel of things to come. ]

[The video opens to a disorienting view: floorboards loom in foreshortened view, wood straight and new under unevenly applied varnish - patches of it are worn thin or absent entirely. The camera sits on the floor, creating the odd perspective, empty of any occupants. Sunlight pours in from one side, an open window. The dust motes suspended in it's beam seem a little off, evenly spaced. Then, suddenly, the stillness is violently interrupted. A glass falls directly in front of the camera, shattering into hundreds of pieces, a few droplets of water splashing on the lens, the rest puddling around the sharp splinters of glass. From outside the frame of view, footsteps can be heard, a few mechanical clicks, and a young man's voice.]

[Good morning, Siren's Port. We hope you slept well last night, because at some point around ten in the morning, the network will be greeted to the sound of someone shrieking in anger at the top of their lungs. Oh, and this face in the screen:]




Where the hell is that bastard?

["Joker" is seething into the screen, eyes alight in absolute madness. His hair is flopping into his face, strings of green over his pale skin.]

Joker, you son of a bitch! Whatever you did, I demand you fix it and get the hell out of my body!

[Someone's sounding crazy. No surprise there.]

If I hear about that dead Hunter one more time I'm going to lose it. There is a man you should all be mourning-- His name is Franz d'Epinay.

I'm getting really sick of how backwards this place is.

[Today, Luxord has a pair of cards of front of him. They are not, however, anything that would fit in a normal deck of cards. Instead, they're a pair of tarot cards, and it's anyone's guess where he's acquired them from. Those particularly familiar with tarot cards might recognize them as two of the Major Arcana - The Wheel of Fortune and The Tower.]

Quite an eventful set of days, wouldn't you agree? I wonder though, does it only seem that way by misremembering or is there perhaps change in the air after all?
