Music Bidding Us A Sudden Cher-Well
It looks like Siren's Port can say sayonara to some of her vibrant music scene. In a total and very bizarre fell swoop, all evidence of the musician Cher has vanished from Siren's Port!
Starting last Friday, commenters on Network forums started noticing their Cher CDs going missing, replaced in their jewel cases by something called "Kidz Bop 14." One magic user who tried a locating spell reportedly set his husband's hair on fire. Even radio stations are finding that all attempts to play Cher music result in a traditional wedding march blaring over the air.
The phenomenon came dramatically into public light on Wednesday, when a live Cher tribute act headlined by French singer Jackie Bouvier crashed and burned in front of a live audience at the Sector 1 nightclub The Amber Room. Witnesses report that when Ms Bouvier got on stage, all that came out of her mouth was "Hark, The Herald Angels Sing." She reportedly hasn't been able to sing or speak normally since. Attempts to interview her ended when she tried to answer a question with "Stray Cat Strut."
From missing CDs to cursed radio waves and live performers, it seems someone has it in for Cher fans this week. Will she make another comeback? Hector Swardson of WOKQ, a station specializing in off-island music, has offered a $500 reward for any information about the magically-imposed Cher black-out.
-Cookie Craze May Turn a Thin-Minted Fortune!
Keelson’s Auctionhouse was a flurry of activity yesterday, as American-born Outsider Becky Fernswerth (44) purchased eighty Cases of imported Girl Scout Cookies for nine thousand five hundred dollars. Miss Fernswerth is a Girl Guide troop leader in Sector 5, and plans to sell at least half of the 960 individual boxes in the Underground Mall, having contacted the UCMA to set up a booth immediately following the auction.
As it turns out, Miss Fernswerth barely even made it to the parking lot before fellow bidders were making offers to take some of the highly sought-after boxes off her hands. Thin Mints and Samoas were immediately purchased by fellow bidders for upwards of 50 dollars each, as she was packing cases into her van.
These cookies are in high demand and going fast- who knows when the Port will see a shipment of these rare offshore treats? So if you’re looking for your fix of Black Market cookies? Best get there early. Otherwise, you might be stuck fighting soccer moms over the last box of outrageously priced Shortbread Trefoils and Peanut Butter Do-Si-Dos.
