New mandela effect?

In recent reports, a new Mandela effect has been noted and rumored on the internet, just recently discussed about! Many history enthusiast swears by the fact that the first ever jet prototype was discovered and discussed about in 1938-1939 and was made by a English man in Germany. Yet history books and documentation says otherwise. The jet was built and utilized as a prototype for the first time in 1942 instead! 

In other news, along the pacific ocean, myths of UFO have surged once again for some odd reason, along the coast of Bora Bora and Honolulu, there are documents and old reports discovered from the 1930's that state they witnessed a UFO appearing over the shoreline!

Strange Residue found at the Monacle Cafe!

The Sun Daily Issue


The Monacle Cafe has recently been shut down due to health code violations. A persistent mold has been found on site of the restaurant, and the owner, one Dan Artsmuth, has claimed “no amount of scrubbing would get rid of it. It kept growing.”

 

|Images follow, of a boarded up cafe that has a virulent green mold growing out from between the boards.|

This devil slime, as residents have christened it has made Blandford street  degraded and uninhabitable. Recently Shreeji Newsagents has also closed its doors. If it isn’t stopped, many more businesses will follow in its wake. What happened to bring this mold to a once venerated shopping district? To find out more, check out our Q&A column with Dan Artsmuth.

[A Q&A column follows, claiming that after a day where the shop was closed on the weekend, the mold appeared, and just kept growing. And growing. First in the main lobby, and then into the kitchen. When it got into the kitchen, they had to close the place up. Artsmuth remorses that he can’t even sell the place, Now that the mold has ruined the value of the property. Artsmuth blames Customs, for not checking what organic materials tourists are allowed to cross the border with stringently enough, and bemoans what tourists are doing to London]

Parting Gift

My work continues. Studying, learning, inventing, and reinventing is a constant but necessary process. I sent Viktor a parting gift, one of the Fractal Rings.

He updated the gauntlets he gave me. It seems that, with the press of a button, I could call for his aid. To escape The Firm, seems to be the intention, misguided as that is.

I’m making progress with the labyrinth, but it’s slow going. The study of my sixth sense shows more promise, and is beginning to yield results. I touched my brain the other day. Felt, measured, and gauged the changes in the current. It was disorienting, but I know there’s something I can use here.

Bryan’s been acting differently. Overconfident. It makes sense, but it’s dangerous. The invitations have been a bad influence, but The Firm will be worse, has already been worse.
At least their reach is worth something. They know their way around paperwork.

My Training Arc Begins?

Well, the adrenaline from my first Contract has dissipated and the return to my normal, average life begins. I can tell my split decision to work for this probably eldritch entity will have consequences. It’s probably closer to a Madoka Magical type deal than was advertised to me. But I think the next time a Contract-with-a-capital-C comes, I’ll be ready. Readier, at least, since I don’t discount on things not going horribly wrong at least once per mission. 

I attended Sucram’s funeral after a bit of digging to find out where the proceedings were— His heroic sacrifice still rings in my mind and it does make me feel a bit bad that I can’t say a word of it to those who really knew him. He and I both knew how these things tend to go… and he was ultimately the braver one out of the two of us. If The Theory Of Narrative Casuality wanted to teach me a lesson about the dangers of this job, it sure worked. 

To honor his memory I’ve taken some first-aid classes and am currently preparing for any future Contracts. They really gloss over this kinda stuff in movies. I do feel like I’m picking up on things a lot faster though, so maybe I have proved myself to the Powers That Be…

Hostile Takeover

Viktor’s on the run now, or something. Working on his pmc in Brazil I think. Plans to work on the fire fell through too, so I guess someone else will have to take care of the lightning stag.

The Firm bought Bryan. He folded… very quickly. I understand why, I’m trying to maintain our relationship, but it’s not the same as it once was. I still leave my things to him, but now I’m less certain as to my reasons.

I joined the firm. With nowhere else to safely go, with a means to make amends with the rat man, and with the potential of a grisly death on the outside I made the obvious choice.

I work as a consultant now, Head of the Consulting Department, and the D.A. has to compensate me for me work. I can’t be compelled to work either, and I’ve been careful to check for bugs, bombs, and the like.

I need to set up another lab.

Scars

These scars are tough. I don't generally take a particularly beautiful form because I don't want to draw too much attention to myself, but the stares I'm getting from these scars is real uncomfortable. Luckily most of stream was pretty chill about it. I just put a generic post in the stream description saying I'd gotten a serious burn recently, it's still recovering, and I'd rather not talk about it now. Otherwise I won a dodgeball tournament, and made some new friends. While this scar sucks, I guess it is helping me learn to improve my social skills, since navigating around the issue while not lying can be a challenge at times. I wonder if there's anyone with healing powers out there to help fix this. I should probably start looking around to see if I can find a healer. I've tried covering it up by just shapeshifting to a different form, and of course that didn't work either.

To Hell And Back

It’s been a while.

Life’s been quiet, I guess. Rhea’s funeral passed. Everyone gave beautiful speeches, I’m sure. I didn’t say anything. The ringing in my ears was too much. I chickened out and kept to myself. Didn’t want to let her down by messing up again, but I suppose I did just that. Too late now.

I listened to her instructions and started seeing some help. I’m off the grid again thanks to my fuck up, so I attended a few public group therapy sessions instead. They were nice. Helped me through some of the pain and anger that I’ve pent up throughout all of this.

There’s not much to do in the safe house, other than train, clean, and meditate. It’s mostly just been the last two, in all honesty.  I’ve had a lot of time to think about things. I guess solitude feels different when you’re not imprisoned.

I keep thinking about what Rhea said to me. About how I’m at the top of the hill, and about to roll down one way or another. That it’s up to me whether or not I decide to point myself toward doing good or just destroying everything around me.

I’ve locked in my decision. I can’t go back on my word now. No throwing in the towel.

It’s do or die.

Need to work out more

That job wasn't too stressful, but the rest of my team had a much more physical experience. They were wrestling, dodging, and trying to shove people around. If I don't have a squad of beefy boys with me next time, I may need to do some of that. I'm at least going to start going on runs again. I should probably join a karate class or something, but I really don't want to hurt people. I just don't want to get hurt myself. Ohh! Maybe there's a dodgeball league or something I can join that'll let me practice looking out for "attacks" and dodging them. That'll be a great way to train for these missions without having to hurt anyone. It'll also be a blast, and I can meet all the people that play dodgeball in the area. I bet Joe will join me too; he could use the exercise and social outings too.

The Illumination

Illuminated Earth is a twisted reflection of the modern world where the advent of smartphones and the internet confirmed the existence of the supernatural instead of disproving it. Here, witch hunts have merit. Billionaires and Senators employ paranormal advisors and bodyguards, and everyone knows. Charlatans become pop culture icons, and each revelation inspires a new cult. The world is changing. The secret societies that pull humanity's strings scramble to adapt.

Now's a good time to move up.

House Rules

Contractors from Maelstrom Are portable, and may play in Contracts in other Playgroups.
Maelstrom grants 6 Experience points to GMs who achieve the Golden Ratio.

The Purpose of Maelstrom is to create a space for players to invest in a world in an engaging and interesting way, creating connections and relationships for their Contractors to explore.

 

Contractor Creation Rules

  • New Contractors must be submitted for approval in The Contract Discord server's #approvals channel before their first game.
  • At creation, Contractors cannot take more than 21 points of Assets and Liabilities. Liabilities count as a positive value for calculating this limit. Going over this limit requires Endorsed GM approval. New players are encouraged to take fewer than 21 points of Assets and Liabilities.
    • For Example: a new Contractor could take Hemophilia (15 point Liability) and Tough (6 point Asset) for a total of up to 21 points between both. They could not take Hemophilia (15 point Liability) and Immutable Body (15 point Asset) for a total of 30 points between both.
  • Contractors cannot be direct ripoffs of pop-culture concepts, to the point that NPCs in-game would notice the similarity. For example: you could play a heroic strong-man or a famous weapons-developer but not specifically Superman or Iron Man.
  • Contractors may not start out as a concept that is likely to disrupt Contracts (e.g. being a walking, talking fox, being as notorious as Osama bin Laden, having a bomb in their chest that detonates when they die, etc).
  • Contractors are mundane people who would see their ambitions through regardless of access to powers. That is why a Harbinger offers Gifts, and why they are willing to risk their lives for the power to make their dreams come true.
    • Your Ambition must be a core driver to your character's actions, is a large point of tension for their story, and is likely to get them into trouble. Craft your Ambition carefully and be open to suggestions and changes from Endorsed GMs in order nail it.
    • Keep in mind, however, that Ambitions can (and will) change over time as your Contractor develops. It's simply part of character development! No matter what, Ambitions are why a Contractor risks their life continuing to participate in Contracts. 
  • Customized Circumstances, Conditions, and Trophies should also be run by an Endorsed GM if the GM granting them is not Endorsed. This can be done in DMs or the server.

 

Maelstrom Contractor Limits

  • In order to facilitate more focused character concepts, Maelstrom has a hard limit on the number of Newbies and Novices that a Player can keep active. At Maximum, a Player can only have 2 Newbies and 3 Novices active in Maelstrom at once.
  • Any character housed in the Playgroup is considered active. Remove them from the Playgroup if they are no longer in-play. Moving Contractors back into the Playgroup requires Leader approval. Maelstrom is not a parking lot, please do not treat it as such.

 

Power Creation Rules

  • Cohesive Powers: Manifested Gifts must be in-line with Character Concepts and requires Endorsed GM approval.
  • Logical Flavor: Players must be able to explain how and why their power works in a given situation, otherwise GMs have license to cause them to fail.
    • For Example: a Blast flavored as a ball of fire might not work underwater. But at the same time, that same Blast power might do extra damage to enemies vulnerable to fire. GMs always have final say, but must remember to make Powers feel powerful. 

 

Citizenship

  • Active Players are expected to GM Contracts from time to time. If you have played as a Contractor 6 Maelstrom Contracts, you are barred from playing in Maelstrom again until you GM a Contract yourself.
    • This limit can be temporarily lifted if an Endorsed GM gives explicit approval to allow you to play in their game.
    • If at this limit, you may attend a game run by another GM fulfilling Citizenship.

 

Downtimes

Interacting and addressing Loose Ends, Conditions, and/or Circumstances require Moves during the Downtime between Contracts. This connects your contractor with the world in some tangible way.

  • Treacherous Loose Ends: A Contractor who waits for a Loose End's threat to manifest without taking any precautions against it during their Downtimes will see the threat revealing itself at the worst possible moment during downtime. Ask Endorsed GMs and Playgroup Leaders for Moves to help control Loose Ends before they control you.
  • Neutral/Unknown Loose Ends: Some Loose Ends are Unknown, meaning that they give the *Player* a hint of moving parts behind the scenes, but not necessarily the *Character*. A Neutral Loose End usually means that the dangers or benefits of the Loose End are obscured or up to the Character's actions once it manifests.
  • Investments: Some Loose Ends bestow benefits at the end of their clock. Investments are usually rewards for Moves and Hustles, but they might come from other sources as well. Ask Endorsed GMs and Playgroup Leaders for Moves to further your Contractor's goals.

 

--------

Notes on GMing in Maelstrom

  • All members of Maelstrom are encouraged to GM and run Moves, and no approval is required. Custom Scenarios likewise do not require pre-approval. 
    • Freel free to ask Endorsed GMs and Playgroup Leaders for feedback on your custom scenario before running it. 
    • By default, you cannot run Games or Moves for a tier that you have not played in yourself. For example, if you would like to run a Novice game, but have never played a Novice game, you must wait until you have had some experience in Novice as a Player.
  • Use GM Notes on the Story tab of the Contractor Sheet! This is a place to provide more detail about Circumstances, Conditions, and Loose Ends as well as important developments behind the scenes. Good GM notes makes it easier to run relevant Contracts and Moves for characters.
  • Keep intros concise during game time. If you want to run more extensive introductions, try to do it before playtime. Players, in general, should not need to be wheeled-and-dealed to agree to a Contract. A simple message sent to them should suffice.
  • In general, Contracts and Moves are subject to an "Exposure" criteria, especially when it comes to posted World Events. Contractors in higher Gift ranges have more freedom to affect the playgroup as a whole. At Newbie/Novice, however, the outcomes games will not ever have an international reach. Though Contractors might remember terrible things happening during their Contract, World Events might be scaled back due to meddling from The Powers That Be.
    • Don't take it personally if your World Event gets edited by a Playgroup Leader. It's part of the game and our efforts to keep consistent tone within the Playgroup.
  • GMs are encouraged to build interesting, consistent locations and organizations for Contractors to explore and engage with through Contracts and Moves. Talk to a Playgroup Leader about location development, they are happy to delegate the development of content.

 

Full Setting Description

This Playgroup uses the official Illumination Setting with slight tweaks.

Very small supernatural phenomena are rare, but not completely unknown. Fewer than 20,000 people in the US are born with some kind of basic supernatural abilities. Think, a guy who can snap his fingers to light a cigarette, slightly glowing eyes that help to see in the dark, or the ability to make a small electric spark. Very niche, not terribly useful, a cool party trick. The big supernatural phenomena are what makes the news, and what creates Illuminations. A bona-fide werewolf, an insect disguised as a human, a monstrous cryptid, or other similar intense anomalies will absolutely catch the attention of the media if they are found.

New mandela effect?

In recent reports, a new Mandela effect has been noted and rumored on the internet, just recently discussed about! Many history enthusiast swears by the fact that the first ever jet prototype was discovered and discussed about in 1938-1939 and was made by a English man in Germany. Yet history books and documentation says otherwise. The jet was built and utilized as a prototype for the first time in 1942 instead! 

In other news, along the pacific ocean, myths of UFO have surged once again for some odd reason, along the coast of Bora Bora and Honolulu, there are documents and old reports discovered from the 1930's that state they witnessed a UFO appearing over the shoreline!

Strange Residue found at the Monacle Cafe!

The Sun Daily Issue


The Monacle Cafe has recently been shut down due to health code violations. A persistent mold has been found on site of the restaurant, and the owner, one Dan Artsmuth, has claimed “no amount of scrubbing would get rid of it. It kept growing.”

 

|Images follow, of a boarded up cafe that has a virulent green mold growing out from between the boards.|

This devil slime, as residents have christened it has made Blandford street  degraded and uninhabitable. Recently Shreeji Newsagents has also closed its doors. If it isn’t stopped, many more businesses will follow in its wake. What happened to bring this mold to a once venerated shopping district? To find out more, check out our Q&A column with Dan Artsmuth.

[A Q&A column follows, claiming that after a day where the shop was closed on the weekend, the mold appeared, and just kept growing. And growing. First in the main lobby, and then into the kitchen. When it got into the kitchen, they had to close the place up. Artsmuth remorses that he can’t even sell the place, Now that the mold has ruined the value of the property. Artsmuth blames Customs, for not checking what organic materials tourists are allowed to cross the border with stringently enough, and bemoans what tourists are doing to London]

Three Separate Miracles: Astronomical Coincidence or More?

Over the course of the past month, many in the Lower Mainland and north-west Washington have been finding their acquaintance, friend, or perhaps even family suddenly and drastically undergo physical restoration.

 

Currently four individuals have been proven to have had their body parts returned and discovered by a widespread audience, an apparent alteration to them and their life. Three separate stories have been shared to the public, with the fourth and most recent person known keeping quiet.

 

The oldest known person to undergo their respective event is Thomas Fredrick, a 23 year old college student who just recently claims to have been visited by a glowing figure in their dreams and woke up with their arm regrown. Subsequently, a week later, Amelia Herbert, 40 year old engineer, is found with their glass eye replaced with a real one. She asserts that she was approached by a group of suited individuals who offered to regrow her eye for a hefty sum. Sharing this story is the sister of Amelia, Emily Herbert, whose burn scars vanish the same day. A veteran, who wishes to remain anonymous is found no longer paralyzed days later but reveals nothing regarding how this came to be.

The Dogtor Illuminated!

============================
 
[As the internet is flooded with articles, videos, reports, and other mediums, the entity acting as the eye of this cyclone can be best introduced through the video she posted herself, uploaded to a multitude of platforms.]
 
Introduction
A cheerful white Samoyed sitting on a modern couch looks straight at the camera. Her ears are alert, and her curly fluffy tail slowly thumps on the cushion. She holds a metal pen in her mouth and wears a black collar that's mostly hidden under her thick fur. Then a crystal clear woman's voice comes from the dog (although her muzzle doesn't move). "Hello! My name is Lanie, and I'm a trained therapy dog in the fullest sense. I am non-supernaturally trained in a variety of therapeutic practices based on psychology, although as a dog I don't hold a diploma nor license. More importantly, I have discovered and developed an innate supernatural ability to heal the mind of most mental and emotional challenges--nightmares, phobias, compulsive behaviors, and the like."
 
The Problem
Her tail goes still. "Sometimes specific events can cause lasting stress on the mind, like the death of a close friend, relative, or pet; a car accident; or witnessing a natural disaster. Sometimes hobbies can become addictions that take control even when you don't want them to anymore. Sometimes stress on the mind can happen slowly over time, like being secretly bullied at school or harassed at work. Our society also puts a lot of pressure on people to fit in a certain box, look a certain way, act a certain way--and if they don't then something is wrong with them. This too can lead to false and even toxic notions that slowly develop into mental and emotional challenges."
 
The Solution
"Just eight hours of my remote, supernaturally effective therapeutic services will help you get free of the things holding you back--removing the burden on your mind. My patients do not need to do anything on their end during the session aside from being able to communicate with me, such as through an online chat or staying on a call--but they don't actually have to say anything at all. During a therapy session, an intangible halo will appear on the patient's head and around my own head as I focus my energies on them. While they're being healed, my patients can do something relaxing. One full session focuses on restoring a single aspect of the mind. My highly effective therapeutic method has been scientifically verified through rigorous testing by Dr. Alison Gopnik. There are no risks nor side effects and, to re-iterate, the therapy session requires minimal talking, sharing, and effort on the part of the patient; you don't need to disclose any details about you or your life."
 
The Minimal Costs
"I can heal many people at one time. However, group sessions result in others knowing what they and their peers just recovered from (even if they don't know you personally or even your real name). Due to the reduced privacy, I'm offering group therapy services online through my Twitch stream to everyone at no cost--totally free. I also offer smaller group sessions of no more than ten and private one-on-one sessions for a sliding-scale fee to make the service affordable for all." "So, um, in short..." The dog seems to be going off of the script now. "... I'm Dogtor Lanie, and, like, I would be honored to help you on your journey." Her tail wags faster before the camera goes dark.
 
More Info
Several links are included at the bottom the video:
  • The scientific study proving Lanie's therapeutic abilities (8-hour sessions at any distance for individuals or large groups that fully cures a single mental health issue and works on most issues) published in a well-known journal
  • A professional video compiling five people's testimonies of the dog's highly effective therapeutic services
  • Lanie's mascot profile on the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) website
  • Lanie's twitch handle: THEDOGTOR
  • Lanie's OkCryptid email: [email protected]
============================
 
[The professional compilation includes both footage of the procedure on various individuals as well as testimonies:]
 
A younger looking man with a perpetual (but slight) frown with very short hair in a bright lime-green shirt is adorned with a clearly supernatural halo, black in colour, as they continue attempting to solve a puzzle sitting in front of them. With her face blurred, another individual sits on the other side of the room, the same halo floating above their head, as they paint a snowy landscape. The white Samoyed in the frame is instead bejeweled with a faint silver halo. The snippet ends as the glow above the two human's head dims to nothing and the finalized effect seems to have affected them. The woman's brush drops to the floor while the man visible pauses, a small grin forming on his face.
 
The video quickly cuts to the man fully facing the camera, this time in different attire. A caption states: "Barnaby Bennett"
 
"I was the individual you just witnessed in the video and can provide my experience with "The Dogtor", their preferred title. She has just recently, well, healed, if it can be called that, my mental condition. My thoughts feel more like they are my own. What I would imagine would take years of therapy blitzed through in a day... It would be a crime to withhold that from the world, just as if one would without a cure to an illness."
 
"I have also witnessed the Dogtor and can vouch for them contributing to the medical side of the Huron-Manistee national forest wildfire, which most of you likely have heard of. I was working there, treating injured folks when she volunteered to aid those in need. Testimonies should prove how many lives she bettered if not saved that time. She pushed herself to the brink of collapse, then further for the sake of others. Flesh was mended, bones healed, limbs stopped from bleeding. Months of natural healing trumped by them. If that's not a hero, I don't know what is."
 
The video cuts again to the blurred face of the painter, who leans into the camera a bit as she speaks fairly quickly, also in different clothing. The captions states: "Anonymous"
 
"I-I, I don't have any bad dreams anymore thanks to her. I don't want to share too much about my personal details but what she did has drastically improved my quality of life. She really helped me and, I think she's a really good dog! She was very kind to me too..." 
 
[Three other similar segments are shown in the video, with positive testimonies at the end. Some of the individuals are even fairly famous in their own circles, including a fitness influencer, a streamer, as well as an ex-convict who it may be more prudent to call infamous to some.]
 
============================
 
[Quick research can also uncover past sightings of the Samoyed, including footage of her wandering with the lanky ex-convict, halos in public view. She has also made an appearance at the PETA headquarters and after the video, it was soon announced that PETA has legally adopted the dog as their new mascot.
 
Talks and public appearances have been already scheduled if some sources are to believed.
 
The public and news outlets' reaction to this Illumination is slowly mounting but hasn't yet reached a consensus, but most official platforms are approaching it with a cautious yet optimistic attitude.]

Breaking News

   An article appears in all of the international newspapers. The highlight is...

   "The United States government has offered Japan an option to clean up the ocean. They have devised a way to eliminate the Kaiju poison from the water in months instead of years. No details on how much this will cost the Japanese government, but the world is hopeful. the construction of large facilities on the coast has begun, assumably to facilitate the toxic extraction. Hopefully we will learn more. The name of who the responsible party for this discovery is unknown, but know that we are thankful."

CI Blows Murder Case Wide Open

Local Texas news stations are running stories on a crime syndicate murder spree, and the sudden and mysterious death of the primary suspect.

With the aid of a confidential informant, local police and the FBI were able to apprehend a murderer with connections to organized crime, as well as his accomplices from beyond the border. As part of the joint effort, millions of dollars worth of drugs and assets were seized in connection with the gruesome crimes.

The murderer, who was awaiting trial for further crimes under a protective detail, was found dead in his cell of an apparent heart attack. Investigations regarding the circumstances of his death have stalled, but inquiries into his criminal accomplices continue.

The Battle of The Titans: Brave Heroes Help Save Japan From Clashing Kaijus

[The following is a compilation of breaking news which can be found from a number of different platforms, stations, articles, reports, etc.]

————————————————————————————————————————————————

BREAKING NEWS: TITANS CLASH OFF THE COAST OF JAPAN

BRAVE HEROES ARISE TO INTERVENE AND HELP SAVE THE DAY

————————————————————————————————————————————————

PRELUDE TO THE CHAOS

Last night, myth became reality when two behemoth Kaijus fought one another off the coast of Japan, shaking the nation like a catastrophic natural disaster sent from the heavens. A colossal IMMORTAL JELLYFISH battled with a mysterious MECHA MEGALODON in what many theorized to be some form of territorial dispute over Japan-- though a variety of sources report differing/conflicting reasonings behind the two monsters fighting. Nonetheless...

Though the consequences of their collision was initially indeterminate, it was soon established that the raw impact of their battle would result in mass destruction across Japan's coasts-- creating tsunamis, shaking the earth, and collateral damage everywhere. Civilians were swiftly ordered to evacuate, but given the sudden arrival of these creatures, only so much could be done in time. Citizens all around Japan could only watch in suspense as the Kaijus drew closer, threatening to potentially even reach the mainland if uninterrupted.

———————————————————————————————————————————

HEROES RUSH TO THE SCENE

[Shaky footage from the perspective of a distant news helicopter depicts the ensuing battle.]

[The scene is total chaos-- aircrafts being pulled from the sky by massive Jellyfish tentacles to slam into the Megalodon, while turret fire from its mechanical armor sprays all around the area. Tidal waves coalesce into miniature tsunamis which crash into the bloodied, murky waters, and just as a tentacle is about to reach and grab the POV's helicopter from the air...]

***CRASH!!!!!***

MARK COLLINS LAUNCHES HIMSELF THROUGH THE AIR AND INTO THE TENTACLE, SLAMMING IT AWAY!!!

[Renowned Kraken Killer and superhero from the United States, Mark Collins lands onto some sort of slick, 1980's car somehow driving over the waters. The vehicle can be seen navigating through the crashing waves and chaos of the fight, like a calm in the eye of the storm. Piloting the car is a young Japanese man in humble coveralls, accompanied by what appears to be world famous chef Bu Fang-- who occasionally flies around the Jellyfish to support Mark and the driver.]

According to some sources (namely American news stations), Mark Collins immediately volunteered to fly to Japan and aid in the crisis the moment the news broke out. Thanks to his efforts, many now dub him as the 'Kaiju Killer,' an upgrade from his former title of 'Kraken Killer.' Officials are citing his appearance as a representation of the strengthening bond between American and Japanese governments in the modern age.

The individuals helping Mark were discovered to be one 'Kurigo "Oz" Osikawa,' a car mechanic based in San Francisco, and famous chef Bu Fang-- who, recently, was seen to have self-immolated himself in Dubai. The two are similarly receiving praise for their actions, though a hint of controversy seems to mark Bu Fang's now confirmed supernatural history.

———————————————————————————————————————————

THE LANTERN SLAYER

[The perspective shifts from live footage to an animated, dramatized version of the fight, produced by Ufotable, Inc.]

[In the center of the composition, the sinking silhouette of the massive Mecha-Megalodon reveals the bright, rising sun in the background-- granting a dramatic, stylized lighting to the scene. Mark Collins, channeling all of his remaining strength and heroism, drags the monster underwater with his fists lodged into its armor. Just before he sinks to the bottom with it, he turns to face the shores and gives one final, trusting look towards our hero, Oz Osikawa.]

[The young, humble Japanese man looks out to sea, a sense of relief washing over him. They had done it-- the Immortal Jellyfish had fled from the scene, and Mark managed to bring down the Megalodon with his help. It's strikingly calm, peaceful, but only for a moment. The camera cuts to familiar tentacles, menacingly emerging from the waters and approaching the shore again. The Immortal Jellyfish is alive, and looking for vengeance.]

[In that moment, suspense fills the air. The Japanese Navy begins engaging with the Kaiju, but the outcome of the fight is uncertain. With Mark Collins defeated with the Megalodon, Oz realizes that it's up to him to finish the fight. He's exhausted, wary, and worn from all of the heroics thus far-- but that doesn't stop his spirit. He looks behind him, towards his homeland, and realizes what he must protect.]

[An inspiring insert song begins to play as Oz drives forward, steadfast. Using his powers to repair a nearby fishing boat, he navigates through the crashing waves, deftly weaving in between the tentacles and battleships in a spectacular, continuous shot of animation. Reaching the center of the battle and eyeing the Jellyfish with a fierce determination, the music reaches a climax as he drives the boat straight through the Kaiju-- the impact and momentum flourished beautifully by a trail of stunning, colorful lights behind him.]

[Oz passes out as he crashes into the ocean, peace washing over him once again. As the Navy lifts him out of the waters and carries him above their shoulders, the camera faces his raised body pointed towards the sky. It slowly begins to pan outward, showcasing the scale of the battle. A faint smile marks the Japanese man's face. He's done it. The Kaiju has been slayed by his hand. Japan is safe.]

———————————————————————————————————————————

THE TITANS ARE DEFEATED!

Thanks to the combined heroics of American superhero Mark Collins, the Japanese Navy, and national hero Kurigo "Oz" Osikawa (plus Bu Fang according to most non-Japanese sources), the two Kaijus were both defeated before they could go further than the coast of Japan. As such, no civilian casualties have been reported thanks to the aforementioned evacuation orders.

Oz, in particular, has received immense commemorations from the public since the fight. Like a hero ripped straight from mythology, Oz bravely charged his vessel straight through the body of the Immortal Jellyfish, saving countless lives in the process. Consequently, he has now earned the title of the 'Lantern Slayer' among both Japanese and overseas fans, as well as an anime adaptation of his heroics and a ceremonial sword officially given to him by the Japanese government.

Bu Fang, on the other hand, seems to have some mixed reception towards his help. Though many are still praising the chef for helping the heroes, recent controversy and the lack of much spotlight from Japanese reporting has limited how positively people view his help. Nonetheless, his restaurant has seen a tremendous boom in interest thanks to all of his actions.

However, Japan is still in the process of recovering from the impact of the fight. With the coast ravaged by the destruction of the Kaijus, much work still needs to be done. Specifically, the blood of the Kaijus seems to have polluted the waters, resulting in a deadly toxin that is reportedly being collected and sold on the black market. The government, ecologists and volunteer groups continue to work hard to restore Japan’s overall health.

Armored Military Truck Convoy Spotted Heading Towards California Valley

An Online Cryptoleak video from a shaky dashcam shows a line of boxy, metallic trucks driving down California's beautiful sunny expressways in a neat line of 7. 

The voice of a nervous young man commentates,
"This is crazy! Area 51 is supposed to be in Nevada, but today folks I've spotted a military convoy making its way out of Death Valley. I'm not sure if there's a base there, but I think there might be. So, I'm calling out to all my fellow truth seekers out there. I want you to join me in checking out Death Valley next week. If there's a base, we're finding it! Don't forget to like and subscribe to Jayven's Truth.
I'm signing off, don't forget to follow your heart, and distrust the government."

 

The video clicks off with a radical sound clip from one of the Tony Hawk games.

The Easthaven Killings

In a news report, a reporter will be going over the details of a small court case that happened almost a few months ago regarding Tatalov Erving, a man detained in a large case involving at least 8 or so dead people found around him when police arrived. The case details will show that the many people in this group attacked Tatalov and a small child that was with them at the time, the footage was very vague but it clearly showed the group mobbing around them and aiming to do physical harm. 

Outside of this, the man was placed on charges of manslaughter, assault, excessive force, and disorderly conduct. However many of the charges would be dropped due to the amazing attorney he had and using accusations of those in the mob being related to the Sons of Salem, not to mention it was done in self-defense. After 6 months of court proceedings, the man would be released from prison after serving his time and doing community service.
