This morning, toy stores, nurseries and daycares were suddenly overwhelmed by many animals and various individuals, mostly of soldiers, aliens, young girls, infants, and socialites in high-dollar fashion who suddenly sprung to life from the shelves. Dozens of people were injured in the sudden combat crossfire of toy soldiers and animal attacks, with two reported dead by 10am. Some animals tended to stay in one spot, or jump or walk around robotically in a circular pattern. More vehicles, now clearly seen as previous toy models - have blocked up traffic in each sector. In one notable instance, there was a train with a set of tracks looping in Sector 1 for several blocks..
The already strained police officers have to deal with an immediate alien invasion in all sectors at high noon, as flying saucers streaked through the sky with deadly lasers, creating what appears to be a million dollars or more worth of damage to the most tallest of buildings and skyscrapers, downtown areas affected heavily as well. Several dozen people are sent to the hospital for injuries caused by falling debris, several are in critical condition, and three more have already died. Some of the animated toy soldiers and robots were able to fight off the alien invaders with some moderate success.
In other sectors, there are many other groups with brightly colored costumes and caps, dressed up as pirates or ninjas. Other creatures are out in abundance as well as well, similar to pop-culture icons of alien life and other monstrosities of the silver screen. Police have urged caution to residents and try to avoid these creatures, uncertain if they are Darkness-related or not, as there have been past incidents earlier in the summer of Darkness appearing during daylight hours.
The island-wide chaos continues into the afternoon, and emergency operators are overwhelmed with another kind of distressing call - the interiors of some suburban homes have changed into life-size board games. Several families had to play a deadly game of chess inside their own living rooms, acting as various chess pieces. One particular family had to deal with the fallout as they were stuck in a particularly rough game of Finance! where their youngest son of six years was legally able to take hold of the mortgage of the house, as well as several business firms.
More rampages of wild animals - particularly horses and other livestock, have taken to the streets and ran out to the pastures of the the farmlands, where they caused significant damage. It is suspected that food prices might be on the rise. Henry Spencer III, still in recovery from last month’s explosion at his Hunting Grounds, reportedly told his SERO doctors that none of this would be a problem if they’d only hurry along his prosthetic surgeries.
Around 4:00 P.M, all of the animals, people, and vehicles that caused so much chaos disappeared, and in their place stood dozens of immobile toys. Infants found in daycares and nurseries changed back into baby dolls, some right in the arms of their new adoptive parents, much to their disappointment. Unfortunately, several pedestrians were hit in the head by flying UFO and bird toys as the metamorphosis took place. To the relief of many, most damages also disappeared as though it never happened, as well as many injuries, much to the relief of overwhelmed hospitals. Those reported dead, unfortunately, are out of such luck.
Police have not given out anything about what caused it, as the official statement is "They are looking into every available lead at this moment."
