Ship found floating at sea linked to international gunrunner - Interpol investigates!

[Camera pans in]

"Hello, I'm Alexander Holden, and I'm your host for tonight's Alaska's News Source, on KYES.  Our top story for the night is shocking new discoveries regarding a ship found in the middle of the ocean. What police originally thought was a crew washed away in the storm turned gristly when it was discovered that the crew had been brutally murdered.  Interpol has declared the ship a crime scene and has pulled it into port, but questions abound as to what happened on that ship.]

[A long distance, zoomed in photo of the vessel is displayed.  The ship's name is Two Types of Tragedies]

An anonymous source within Interpol reported that the crime is being investigated by its exotic crimes division - was there magic involved in the murder?  We'll know soon enough.  The Lead Interpol inspector on the case, Inspector Bluedo, was contacted, but was unavaliable for comment.  I'm  Alexander Holden, and this is Alaska's News Source.

Next up, we have an adorable video of a fox stealing a fisherman's fish right out of his bucket...

Ol' Reliable

Somethin's clicked with my Lucky Belt Buckle, since that last adventure. I dunno how to put it, but it feels like it... likes me? Mighty strange that now, of all times, is when it chooses to bond with me, after I got beat half ta death and failed poor Ferb like that, but I s'pose I gotta take my wins where I can. Who knows, maybe it's a sign of things looking up.

I been lookin' into the weird dreams I've been havin', what're gettin' me into these adventures, but I ain't found nothin' on 'em yet. Somethin's definitely up, though, when I woke up all my wounds had carried over. Needed a trip to the hospital to set my ribs back properly, lemme tell ya, that was a hell of a thing to try and explain. I wish me 'n' Ferret had traded numbers, bein' able to find him in the waking world would've been a real boon to makin' sure I ain't goin' crazy and thrashing 'round in my sleep or somethin'. I ain't though, I know in my heart of hearts, the adventures, the risk, the pain, all o' it's real, and Ferb and the swanky fella sure as shit were too. And now they're gone, 'cause I weren't strong enough, weren't smart or quick enough to help 'em.

I know what I have to do, goin' forwards. I need to figure out what's happenin' to me, why I'm goin' on these adventures, and why my Belt Buckle keeps changing every time I do. And then I need to do it again, get more power so that I don't have to watch anyone else die like they did. First, though, lettin' my ribs heal up sounds like a good idea.

Hong Kong Hospital

  So I've had a wonderful month! I just spent three weeks at a Hong Kong hospital. Three weeks and four surgeries later my hands reattached and the scars are healed (mostly) but I still can't use the fucking thing! The doctors say that it'll take a couple months and more surgeries to get use of it back. Good thing I got that snot-nosed kid to pay the bills. Spending time in the hospital and with all the rehab, more of my former power is starting to come back.

  Now that I'm back in Los Angeles I've found that some of my fighting prowess is coming back. I also have the abilty to not be harmed when I punch wierd shit. I don't know if that has anything to do with my hand being nearly ripped off or not? I've spent my free time training, trying to hone my combat skills and learn to adapt until I can use my hand again. It's been a tough few weeks, but I feel like I'm doing a lot better. I even took a case to try and get my mind off of the shit that happened on the last job. I also don't want to dwell on what it may mean that my demonic powers are returning. I thought I got away from Hell when I broke ties. Anyway the case!

  Just a plain ole' wife thinks her husbands cheating on her. Love me the simple cases after the bullshit in China. I followed the guy for a few days. Sure enough, he's banging his assistant. You'd think with all the movies and shit people would learn to stay away from the cliches. Guess not!

A Good Idea

Despite the typical Abbas paranoia, watching windows and door and everywhere at once, he was still a bit taken aback when the mulleted man comes crashing through the window into the apartment, exploding into action with a WWE dropkick.

Dallas burst through the window in such a manner that Macho Man Randy Savage would be proud. While Dallas was successful & totally unharmed, he does get tangled in the heavy curtains for a moment--a dangerous situation in these cases. To make matters worse, Dallas hears a young child scream somewhere towards the back of the apartment.

Dallas whips free of the curtain to see a pleasant apartment, if a bit … under lived in somehow. Definitely doesn't seem to be a drug den. Dallas doesn't see anyone there, although he still feels the cocktail of virulent paranoia pounding down on him.

A three-year-old comes out of a bedroom and stands there, looking wide-eyed into the livingroom at the intruder. She looks angelically adorable with golden hair in pigtails, My Little Pony pajamas, and a brown bear stuffie. The scream was more surprise than fear; she actually seems completely fearless.

“Hey there little girl, sorry to startle ya. Who is watching you right now?” Dallas smiles at her.

"Uncle Abbas." She answers plainly, as though it is obvious. "Mommy and Daddy have ta work."

Dallas smiles “Where do they work?” Dallas moves towards her. “Mind if I pick you up? I am FBI. Wanna see my badge?”

"Okay." The very trusting child doesn't need to see the badge (she doesn't know what a badge is). "I dunno." 

Dallas picks her up and then smiles, “Come out now, I figure you know why, Abbas.”

Abbas will say, "Violet!" and appear from practically nowhere behind the couch, a place you thought you searched before.

Violet just grins. "There he is!" As though her uncle plays hide and seek.

Dallas will smile. “Let’s take a walk. Leave any weapons, Abbas.”

"But he likes his bow!" the child protests, "like I like Scratch!"

"If you need to talk, preferably here," Abbas looks extremely uncomfortable with the attention on him, as well as the idea of leaving behind his bow.

Dallas moves towards the door with the child. “Well, sonny, that was not a request. Violet, tell your uncle to quit being such a worrywart.”

"A worry...?"

“A silly willy.”

The child grins. "Come on, Uncle Abbas!" Then looking up at Dallas. "Are you Mommy's new friend?"

“I am actually going to meet her. Abbas will follow us in his car.” Dallas will unlock the door and open it with one hand.

"Yay!" Violet seems genuinely thrilled by the idea, and then pauses. "Daddy too?"

“Uh uh, I am sure they will show up.”

"Okay." She rests into his grip, like she's used to being carried. And she holds onto Scratch to make sure no one is left behind. 

"Is that... a threat? There's a child."

“Now, Abbas, no need to dilly dally.” Dallas will smile at him, then the smile will drop. “Obviously there’s a child involved now. Let that help you choose fast.”

"Damnit, what do you need?" Abbas’ paranoia is definitely worsening by the moment.

“You're gonna drive in front of me to the police department where I will ask some questions and we will wait for her parents to show up.”

In fact, you're pretty sure that with how alert Abbas is, even a spider isn't leaving his vision: "I don't drive… wait, what do you mean by ‘her parents will show up’?"

Dallas will smile and pull handcuffs out of his back pocket. “Put these on, and you can ride with us.” Dallas will toss them at Abbas’s feet. “And drop the bow. We don’t want any accidents.”

Dallas will realize the more he is pushing, the more Abbas’ paranoia is getting to him. To a point where it's teetering. 

“Or you can explain the outcome of this to her parents.” Dallas pulls Violet a little closer.

Violet looks back at Abbas. And then starts to squirm. Something's not right--these two are not acting like friends.

“Abbas, it’s up to you how this goes.” Dallas will slowly move towards Abbas. “I promise nobody is in trouble. I just have some questions.”

"Uncle?" She asks questioningly as she squirms more. Usually that's the signal for the grownups to put her down, but it's not working... Scratch the bear drops. Not fearful yet. Just confused.

“Uncle?” Dallas says quietly as he continues to move closer to get within arms reach.

Abbas backs away and stays just enough out of arm's reach at all times. "If it's just questions. I can answer them, here I believe"

Dallas continues walking past Abbas and will grab the bear stuffie off the ground and offer it to Violet.

Violet accepts Scratch, pacified for now.

"Where are the parents? They need to be here in 4 days, else they..." Abbas looks over at Alice "sleep… Please put her down. I’m sure we can talk here... if you are FBI."

“I am FBI.” Dallas smiles and will reach into his pocket and will pull out his phone. “I can make one call and your life is over, or you come with me.”

"Be nice," Violet says to her captor nicely. She still doesn't get what's going on, but being nice makes everything ... nicer. 

Dallas will look at Abbas.

Abbas grits his teeth before walking over. "Only if I can keep my bow."

“Sure but leave any arrows.” Dallas will smile.

With obvious reluctance, Abbas will put away the quiver and follow Dallas. "Violet needs to be safe. That's what matters most … Also, if you don't mind, reparations for the window. Landlord won't be too happy about that.”

“I am sure that can be figured out.” Dallas will walk out the door with Violet to his car and open the back seat that has that partition most cop cars have.

Violet does not seem comfortable getting into the car with her new friend without Abbas. 

"Abbas?"

"It’ll be fine, Violet," Abbas will flash a smile for her. 

“Come on, hop in Abbas.”

Abbas will look at him and get in precariously.

Dallas will close the door behind him.

Dallas will smile at Abbas. He will slide into the front seat with Violet. “What’s your name?”

"Abbas. So what is this about?"

“Well, a cop killer was let go, and I believe one of your friends was associated. One ‘Bruce Johnson.’” Dallas watches Abbas in the mirror.

"Who?" Abbas looks actually confused. And, no, he isn't lying.

“The man who’s apartment you were staying in. I assume it’s not his real name, actually.” Dallas smiles at Violet. “What’s your Daddy's real name, do you know?”

"Daddy!" Obviously. 

"The people I know usually don't associate with criminals generally."

Dallas looks at Abbas then Violet and will pull out his phone and will pull up his picture of Bruce Johnson and show it to Violet. “Have you seen this photo and know who it is?”

"That's Daddy! ... Where's Mommy?" Usually the two are together, it seems.

Dallas looks at Abbas. “That’s confirmation that her father is the one I am looking for, so here is how it goes. I am going to slip you my phone. You will call her father and tell him to turn himself in now, and then I let both of you out, and we go on with our lives.” Dallas smiles “Once I get confirmation he is in custody.” 

"Wait, what?" Dallas will show Abbas the photo of “Bruce Johnson.” Abbas recognizes the man as Jason Decker. 

As Abbas looks at the photo, Abbas's phone rings. However, Dallas doesn't hear anything at all. If Abbas looks at his phone, it shows "Alice" with a profile picture of a paw print.

Oddly, at the exact same time, Dallas will also get a phone call. It is his FBI intern. Dallas answers. watching Abbas while he talks. “What’s going on there?” 

"Sir, the suspect is awake! Should I question him?"

"Hello!" The sweet three-year-old says loudly with excitement to the voice on the phone. Then she squirms around and looks up at Dallas expectantly, still clutching Scratch. "Breakfast?" 

"Uh...sir?"

“Yes, go and question him to see if he can not identify that photo as one of the assailants.” Dallas watches Abbas click his phone on. “Any other news in the town?”

"Will do, sir!" The rookie hangs up.

---

Meanwhile: 

Abbas Abbas will frown before picking up the call on speaker since he knows that Dallas can't hear Alice’s calls. "Abbas, you need to get away from the apartment with Violet immediately. My identity might be compromised."

"A little late,” Abbas replies. “A guy named Dallas that is working with the FBI, he says, already got me and Violet. I wanted to avoid a gunfight ‘cause Violet was nearby"

Her tone drops. "Where exactly are you, and where is Violet?" 

"Both in the same car as him. Violet went right up to him, so I tried my best to settle it peacefully. We're gonna be on the way to a police station in a second, as I was told … He did break the window by the way ... so ... the lease might go up."

"What have you told him?" Now she sounds pissed, very unusual for Alice. 

"Basically nothing. Only that my name is Abbas, and that the people I know don't usually associate with criminals. Although we're being threatened right now so... " 

"Tell him Violet's Mommy is going to supernaturally call him." The call hangs up. 

---

“Thanks… damn kids need to learn how to properly end a phone call.” Dallas growls slightly before looking at Abbas. “My next call is to CPS for Violet if I don’t get some answers.”

Violet pokes Dallas. Maybe he didn't hear her. Her tummy rumbles as she asks more specifically, "Eggs and maggots?"

Dallas seems taken aback then looks closer at Violet. Noticing she is off, he then smiles. “We will find you something soon, hold on okay?” Dallas then looks at Abbas more menacingly. “Or my next call can be to Casa Verde.”

"Okay." The child trusts Dallas and returns to fiddling with her bear plushie. 

"She's talking about rice. Someone thought it would be funny to call them maggots." Abbas isn't lying. "We had egg fried rice recently. Anyways, sir, Violet’s mom will be calling you supernaturally here."

“You know what Casa Verde is, right?” Dallas looks surprised, maybe even a bit concerned.

"Nope."

And then Dallas's phone rings. It registers as a restricted caller but somehow the profile is saved as "Mommy" and the profile picture is of a raging mother bear.

Dallas will look at the phone, smile, and answer it. “Heller?”

"Dallas Smith! Funny thing, Bu Fang told me about you just a few hours ago. Says you're 'very straight lined' and 'can tell the truth from lies'." The voice of a young woman with a West Coast accent. Her tone is like a thin sheet of icey casualness with clear undertones of pissed. "I hope that discernment of yours works over long distances, for your sake." The casualness vanishes. "Because you have no fucking idea of what you're on the verge of getting yourself into."

“I have a pretty good idea, missy. Your husband committed a pretty egregious crime impersonating a federal officer, a crime I take personally offensive--as well as they assisted in the escape of a cop killer. Then you have some schmuck wielding a bow guarding your home. Obviously something is up, and I have a good idea what that is.”

Dallas hears her take a slow, deep breath. And then another one. When she finally speaks, she sounds more composed (but still angry). "You can call me 'Mommy,' not Missy. My name doesn't matter at this point--the only thing that matters is our relationship, which is going to be entirely your choice. Take a few minutes to hear me out--your decision will greatly impact us both." 

“I normally have to pay someone to call them Mommy. But sure, what are ya offering? Cause if you're a friend of Bu’s, that is a bit telling ain’t it? Especially if he told you about me.”

"I called Bu Fang asking him for help. You were more of a mention than a recommendation. But first let's establish something: this call is supernaturally obscured, and it cannot be recorded on either end. Your phone is simply a focus--there is no record of this call aside from our memories. And neither Abbas nor Violet know what we're saying, even if the 'call' is put on speaker. I'm sure if Violet could hear me she'd want to talk to me. Do you want to test that out?" 

“I ain’t worried about that. I ain’t recording right now anyway.” Dallas pauses. “I need some sort of resolution to this, your husband, and this cop killer needs to turn themselves in. Just as I told Abbas, as soon as your husband is in custody, I would let him and Violet go.” Dallas looks at Violet. “Although I was going to buy Violet breakfast and, depending on the outcome of this conversation, drive her straight to Casa Verde. If her mother is supernatural, I have a feeling her daughter is as well.”

"I expected as much. Just give me a few minutes. It sounds like you have Abbas on a tight leash, so you should be able to spare a few minutes for this conversation."

“I ain’t the bad guy here. They broke the law and left evidence. I would bring in anyone with that criteria, even those like Bu or Bu’s friends.”

"We will find out if you're a 'bad guy' soon enough. Also, lie detector, I'm not planning something elaborate as we speak. Just listen.” A pause. “I am one of you--someone who goes on insane, dangerous jobs for equally insane, powerful rewards. I will do anything to keep Violet safe. She has special needs that make the average foster care placement or adoptive home unable to protect her."

“That is admirable. However, as I am sure Bu told you, being one of US won't stop me from following the law. Plus, what the hell are you doing having a kid? This isn’t the life to bring a kid into. Frankly, should this resolve in a way you and Violet get out unscathed, you should divorce your husband, take your child far away from America, and retire.” Dallas pauses. “But that depends on this conversation. You're obviously an accomplice of your husband, meaning you're just as guilty, so how should we play this? What is your hope?” 

"I didn't choose to have a kid!" Her anger shows. "I found her and a demon feeding off of her--keeping her alive on raw rats and grass and cockroaches just so it could sustain itself on her soul! We stole Violet from the demon, but it's still supernaturally tied to her--giving her mental health issues--and we suspect it's trying to hunt her down to take her back! Give me a fucking chance!" The call goes quiet for a bit and Dallas can hear her taking deep breaths. 

“Then wouldn’t Casa Verde be her best chance? There are experts there in this sort of thing.” Dallas looks at Violet. “I feel for the kid, I do, and if I can I will help her. But that also means you stole a child who probably has real parents out there who are looking for her or some sort of family.”

As Dallas looks at the child and says that to her (not Alice over magic time), her red eyes shimmer slightly. A misty black figure shimmers into existence in the vacant passenger seat next to Dallas. The True Parent has arrived.

The misty figure grins, mirroring Dallas's former good natured smile, and reaches for him.

Violet sees the demon and smiles. Her hands go out like she wants to be picked up. "Friend!"

If it was possible, Abbas goes from high alert to the absolutely highest alert. But the back doors of the cop car are locked. "Violet, do you see that button? Can you press that?" Abbas points at the unlock door switch/button. The little girl is still seated on Dallas’s lap, on the driver’s side.

The creature deftly darts forward, encompassing Dallas from the side. Surprised, he attempts to strike back, but there is nothing to hit--just a black mist … right before the creature’s talons expertly scoop out his eyeballs in a single smooth motion. And then offer them gently to Violet, who takes them like candy, filling her two little cheeks with a big grin.

Violet, still chewing happily, clicks the button. She likes Abbas. Abbas makes her happy, just like Scratch and Mommy and Daddy and her Friend.

The moment the car door unlocks, Abbas gets out while keeping an eye on the demon, which moves over to squat in Dallas's lap, doting on Violet. Abbas looks around for anything that could double as an arrow but finds nothing.

Dallas has Violet on his lap. He knows she’s possessed. “Violet, tell your friend to knock it off.” He will reach for his gun… 

Violet seems confused. "Off?" 

As Dallas goes for his gun and begins to speak, the demon almost gently, lazily lays its talon against his arm pulling the gun, then widens its smile, closing its teeth on his throat. There is a gush of blood, and Dallas’s face goes purple as it bites down. His body goes into convulsions.

Violet is now covered in fresh blood. She looks a bit confused and asks her Friend to move her away and help her clean her face, as it's sorta getting into her eyes, by simply saying, "Yucky." In the meantime she wipes her face with her hands, smearing the blood further.

Abbas finds nothing. He texts Alice “call me” before moving away from the bloody car and towards the apartment. 

Alice immediately calls. "What happened!?"

"DEMON IS BACK, HOW TO GET RID OF, I DON’T THINK CROSSES, BLESSING AND HOLY WATER WORKS AGAINST SOMETHING THAT STRONG." 

"What?!" A pause. And then a very very monotone response. "Don't harm it. Ask it to live with us, with Violet."

"Gotchaaaaa"

"And we will not hurt it--YOU will not hurt it!" A command. 

Abbas will turn back and slowly approach the car on Violet’s side again, holding a distance of about 30 feet. Then he invites the demon. "Would you like to live with Violet and us? I won't hurt you. I also just want to protect Violet."

The manifestation unlocks its gleaming white teeth from Dallas as the man's struggles begin to subside, and fixes its blazing, monstrous gaze on Abbas.

"Give it the phone if you can." Alice instructs, still very monotone.

Abbas will slowly approach, about 10 feet away, and offer his phone on the ground. "Uh, someone you may know wants to talk to you… This thing works like that.” A pause. "Can I, uh, clean up Violet? She seems uncomfortable there."

It coils, becoming almost a cloud of darkness with a Cheshire grin in the center. You are free to come closer… closer… 

Abbas prepares to bolt while slowly approaching with his shirt, ready to help the child clean up.

"Abbas!" Violet notices him approaching through the window and reaches for him. She is a nightmarish sight--blonde hair, face, and chest covered in fresh blood--and she is increasingly uncomfortable. Her new friend looks... sad. Like a rat ready for eating. "Mommy!" Now she looks around confused. Mommy is almost always nearby to make things better.

Abbas will open the door slowly. "Mommy is on the phone. Uncle Abbas will help you clean up and bring her back soon.”

"I want Mommy and Daddy!" Her face scrunches up like she's about to cry. It's not really the gore that bothers her; moreso the confusion needs to be pushed back with consistency--and they've been gone forever, so it seemed.

"We will meet them. We always do." As he talks, he helps clean her up of the blood as best he can before picking her up. The coils of darkness leave the car with her and melt into her shadow. A pair of red eyes burning in the cast shadow indicate the demon's continued presence.

Now in Abbas's arms, finally, Violet starts to cry. "MOMMY!" Tucking her still rather bloody face into Abbas's chest.

Abbas will cradle her, familiar with carrying her not just from previous times but also his time as a father himself before. He picks up his phone and puts it near Violet. "Mel, Violet wants to hear your voice right now." While continuing to wipe off the blood

Lights come on in apartments. Grumbling can be heard. A dog barks in the crisp morning air.

The conversation between child and Mommy seems to make things worse, like showing a child a slice of cake and then taking it away. Now Violet is full-on crying, all in, snotty, and in pure distress.

Abbas will try his best to soothe her and will pat her, cradling trying to get her to sleep perhaps.

As he does this, he also bites his pendant (putting on his obscure self passive) and slinks away.

After a few minutes, Abbas is able to fully sooth the child. She is breathing normally again and very sleepy in his arms. Scratch the bear plushie is the only obvious bit of evidence at the scene of the crime, soaked in a pool of Dallas's blood on the floor of the driver's side.

4 days, 1 hour ago: Ains Ladeen wrote a Downtime Journal for Project: Wormwood

A change of mindset

Ever since the first contract Ains went through, he began to recognize that if he was going to be thrusted head first into contracts like that, he might as well be prepared for them.


Afterwards, there was a lot of dead bodies around to clean up, so using his money Ains payed off somebody for that, while also hiring more butlers and especially bodyguards for that manner, they shall never know what happened in these halls.

Second of all, Ains decided to focus more on the general aspect of Influencing others, abandoning a more specialized Persuasion in turn for the capability to Lie, Intimidate, and more, probably the better decision since he'd be able to do more, but he also took some classes in swordsmanship, despite how much he did not enjoy it, but regardless he learnt one or two more things about it, and even began enjoying doing it a bit, just a little bit though.


Once Ains got that covered, he'd make a wardrobe change, he'd actually consider buying a gun and maybe even some armor, and several other smaller but relatively important items which he'd store in a backpack or a duffel bag, we'll see.

Once all that was said and done, Tyler would probably send a check for his surgery, and seeing that Tyler basically carried (not literally, that's weird as flip) the entire team, and I'm not sure that one dude Sketch really liked me since in every instance they could they never shielded me with their golden green shield lucky charms thing but ehh it doesn't really matter since it probably gives you aids or something and its not like I cared or anything.

Numb.

Dear Diary...

It's hard to think. Everything just feels kinda foggy.   They put me in therapy for the last month, and I've had to take these pills.   They say they'll help me, and.. maybe?  I'm not sad anymore.  But I don't really feel anything.  And it's difficult to focus.   It's difficult to work up the motivation to do anything.  They say I'm normal now.  I don't know.  The last few months feel like a fever dream.  I used to be able to transform, I think.  I thought I could.  But I can't anymore.  I look at my hand and I focus as hard as I can and I can't really focus and nothing happens and I just get tired.  I'm just normal now.  Maybe I was never special.

My parents say that if I stay in here and be a good girl that I can come home at some point.  I want to go home.  I don't like it here.  At least I'm not crying myself to sleep every night.  But that's just because I can't work up the effort to do it, I think.  I don't even know why I'm writing in this journal, it's just insanity.  I don't want to destroy it, though.  It was special to me, once. 

I'm going to put it in the bottom of my suitcase.  Maybe I'll remember it one day. 

Maybe it would be easier if I forgot it.

I'm not really happy... but...

I guess I'm not unhappy?

There are worse endings.

I'm going to close this book now.

Not just a dream

Somethin's up with my Lucky belt buckle. It was always special, even 'sides from how grampaw always swore it made him luckier, but now it seems... different, odd, even more special than before. That brat neighbour kid tried ta huck his ball my way when I was on a walk, and despite how good a shot the lil' rascal usually is, the ball just went plum clean past me. That damnable bird over by Mrs. Avery's missed, odd as well, an' then, a drunk driver damn near hit me with his automobile. Fella clearly had had a few too many beers, but the odd thing is, his car was headed for me, clearly 'boutta side swipe me an' put me in hospital for a while, then it just kinda... wasn't. A branch fell from a nearby tree, knocked it just off-course and saved my life. The cops were brought in, obviously 'nough, an' the drunk fella's gonna have to pay out the nose for his wrecked car 'n' dangerous drivin', but I just can't stop thinkin' 'bout it. I was wearing my Lucky belt buckle the whole dang time, and I was just... untouchable, all day, an' somethin' tells me, it weren't no coincidence. Somethin's up, somethin' connected to that weird dream, and whatever it is, it's given my belt buckle more bang for its buck, whatever it did before it's now a real luck magnet, making things go my way whenever I'm in trouble. I can use this. Everything I ever wanted, right in my grasp, jus' so long as I can figure out how to use this.

Goodbye mundane, ordinary life, 'n' hello, New Wild West!

Setting things right

After the debacle on the recent job with the menagerie, I decided to contact the one person who seemed to be acting in their right mind that job, Alex, the kid.

Look, he's a bit headstrong, but he is a good kid. A good American kid. I wanted to make sure that he had good influences on his life. After all, he's going on these crazy jobs and getting super powers and stuff and he isn't even old enough to buy a pack of cigarettes. This isn't Vietnam. 

So I decided to meet up with him and his guardian. That guy was a bit weird and kind of gave me bad vibes. He was a sort of Hephaestus, the armor or type with this stone red hot gauntlet. I think that he had some things he wanted to contribute to the conversation, but he didn't say anything. He just got all frustrated looking. I'm not sure he's really the best influence for Alex. I talked to Alex about the importance of protecting the United States from monsters, and he seemed to be 100% on board.

 

After all a bunch of monsters almost killed us last job we were on, and we're totally fucking up this awesome cruise that we were all having a good time participating in. Now I didn't encourage him to do anything rash, so don't come crying to me if he gets in trouble. But I think he could be a really good Ally for my future endeavors of protecting the United States. 

 

I think the most important thing to do is get him a new guardian who is it so freaky and quiet. I'll put that on my to do list.

1 week, 5 days ago: Captain Deontology wrote a Contract Journal for Mushroom Hunt

The Caped Hero of Justice Almost Meets his End!

Last we left our hero, he was pushed to his very limits! Not only did he have to nearly die in order to protect innocent lives, but he had to "borrow" a car and some t-shirts in order to do so! Captain D has spent the past year deliberating the event, and has made some big changes to his worldview in the process. He has realized that he is dealing with forces beyond conventional morality, so his old manner of deontology will no longer suffice. He is now a THRESHOLD DEONTOLOGIST, although it pains him to say so. With this newfound revelation, Captain D has steeled himself for another contract, mostly healing from the trauma, both physical and emotional, from the last one. Captain D wants not power for its own sake, but power for the end of subjecting those exceptionally powerful among us to the same moral laws and responsibilities as the rest of us! Remember reader, Justice is not merely a goal, it is a MORAL IMPERATIVE!

I need to change. But only the changes I want.

Dear Diary...

So, for the last month, it's been... interesting.  I've been trying to work on a variety of things.  People keep getting injured on these stupid contracts - what if it's me next? - so I took one of those little first aid  classes so I know how to actually use the first aid kit I keep in my pack.   Might save my life.  Maybe.  I've also been spending more time on the internet, which is... interesting.  I think I'm getting better on computers.  It's actually kinda calming, in a way. 

I've been practicing my powers - I transform every night,  and during the day I try to head out of the house and address people, using it.  I think it's getting a bit easier.  I don't have to work as hard.  I think if I keep practicing I might be able to do it as easily as I do everything else.  Which is nice.

But the main thing. I've been thinking... why do I need to change?  Why do I need to eat, and breathe, and do all of that stuff?  So I just tried holding my breath.  And it's super weird, but you get used to.. you know, just not breathing.  Or eating, or drinking water.   I've been kinda practicing.  I haven't eaten or drank anything for the last week, haven't breathed for the last few days.  Honestly, it's... it's kinda cool, but at the same time kinda lame.  I like eating.  It makes me a bit happy.

Yeah.  On that front...

This isn't helping.

(The text is circled several times as well in a frusturated pen.)

I don't know.  I thought risking my life would make me happy.  But it isn't.  I'm only happy at nights, and I don't want to get up in the morning where I have to go back to not being happy.  But I can't just be a recluse all the time, can I?

I need to start making plans.

Profit & Loss

I will say one thing for these mad little mission - they can pay handsomely.

My mysterious vendors have been silent, merely sending a message to my Mobile that the technolgy of the Kara has been "updated."

That's hardly ominous at all. To date, the source of my cybernetic upgrades remains obscure. Infuriating. I detest this "Cloak & Dagger" nonsense.

However, worthless vendors aside, my other efforts have been rewarded - outstanding invoices are all paid in full, & the Inderpal Agency might remain solvent for another month before being litigated into oblivion.

Huzzah.

I wonder why I do this to myself? With my upgrades & skillset I am sure I could make do with some simple, dull, outpost. Triple Canopy, perhaps - work on the oilfields. My Arabic has cleaned up quite nicely since living in Dubai. Transalator perhaps?

The Sheiks do not seem as enamored with the telly as my fellow Brits. Hardly a mention of my disgraceful failures.

Or perhaps I could go public with my talents? I certainly never signed an NDIS for usage of my augments (which is odd unto itself). Seems to have worked out for this Vorobyova woman...

(The fucking nerve to mention my failings like that at the end!)

No...no, played the fool on stage once, I have no wish to do so again. Perhaps I have done enough. Perhaps a dull life in some backwater would suffice. Steady pay, monotonous tasks. No more bloody solicitors.

We will see. After this legal buisness is concluded, I may just give it all up. Mother & Father would simply have to understand. I think they would...less likely to collect my life insurance with a desk job I should think.

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 an 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

  • Contractors may take no more than 7 points of Liabilities. Brand new Players are highly encouraged to take even less. 
  • Contractors cannot be direct ripoffs of pop-culture concepts, to the point that NPCs in-game would notice the similarity. For example: you may play a heroic strong-man, but not Superman. A famous weapons-developer, but not 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 Playgroup Leaders 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. 
  • New Contractors must be submitted for approval in The Contract Discord server, channel #maelstrom-approvals, before their first game. 
    • An Approved Contractor must be given either an Inciting Incident Loose End (Usually in the form of a unique intro run by a World Leader or Approved GM) or a Starting Condition/Circumstance that takes the form of a low-value Social/Background Liability that connects the Contractor with the world. The Player and a World Leader/Approved GM should have a conversation about this before the Contractor's first game.
    • Interacting with Loose Ends, Conditions, and/or Circumstances require Moves between games to be cleared. This connects your contractor with the world in some tangible way. 
      • Solving an Inciting Incident usually begets in-game benefits for the added complexity. Solving a Starting Condition/Circumstance is usually simpler, but does not have the same expectation of reward.

 

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. 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. At Maximum, a Player can only have 2 Newbies and 3 Novices active in Maelstrom at once.

 

Developing Background

  • At the end of every Newbie and Novice game, Players will be assigned a question or two about their Contractor's background that they must answer before they participate in their next game. These answers will be stored in the Biography section, and will often be relevant to their current situation in-game. Use this creative freedom responsibly. 

 

Power Creation Rules

  • Flavorful Powers: Manifested Gifts must be in-line with Character Concepts and require World Leader approval. Powers in the Health category are most likely to be watched. This encourages networking between other Contractors and NPCs when healing and curing is required.
  • 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 in your most recent six Maelstrom Contracts, you are barred from playing in Maelstrom again until you GM a Contract yourself, unless you are attending the game of a GM who is fulfilling Citizenship Requirement themselves. 

 

Loose Ends in Maelstrom

  • 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 Approved 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. Neutral Loose Ends also may or may not be known to the Contractor.
  • Investments: Some Loose Ends bestow benefits at the end of their clock. Investments are usually rewards for Moves and Hustles, but might come from other sources as well. Ask Approved 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. 
  • Use GM Notes! 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 Letter sent to them should suffice.
  • World Leaders are there to help. Spoil them on Scenarios, get feedback, ask them questions. 
  • 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.
    • NOTE: Some previous World Events from the Playgroup will be edited or deleted over the coming weeks. When this note has been deleted, assume that all World Events are canon. Until then, ask a World Leader for details.
  • GMs are encouraged to build interesting, consistent locations for Contractors to explore 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.

Ship found floating at sea linked to international gunrunner - Interpol investigates!

[Camera pans in]

"Hello, I'm Alexander Holden, and I'm your host for tonight's Alaska's News Source, on KYES.  Our top story for the night is shocking new discoveries regarding a ship found in the middle of the ocean. What police originally thought was a crew washed away in the storm turned gristly when it was discovered that the crew had been brutally murdered.  Interpol has declared the ship a crime scene and has pulled it into port, but questions abound as to what happened on that ship.]

[A long distance, zoomed in photo of the vessel is displayed.  The ship's name is Two Types of Tragedies]

An anonymous source within Interpol reported that the crime is being investigated by its exotic crimes division - was there magic involved in the murder?  We'll know soon enough.  The Lead Interpol inspector on the case, Inspector Bluedo, was contacted, but was unavaliable for comment.  I'm  Alexander Holden, and this is Alaska's News Source.

Next up, we have an adorable video of a fox stealing a fisherman's fish right out of his bucket...

Live from Pampa Texas

A Helicopter circles the a desolate lansscape dotted with decaying buildings, decrepit mines, & swarming with police officers - the journalist reporting is talking loudly while cameras roll, fighting to be heard:

"Alright - we have word that the State Marshalls & Texas rangers are NOT waiting for a negotiation team, they are going in - no - they are not, it's...Mark Collins! Mark Collins, Boise's own Superman is going in with...who? A specialist of some kind, maybe...a Ranger? Is that right? Mark Collins, recently diagnosed with terminal cancer is going in with a Texas Ranger to attempt to bring James Tucker out! Now, while the get away vehicle was found abandoned not far in a river, there is still no guarantee this is - what? Shots fired! I repeat, shots fired within the Mine!!"

 

The camera pans down to the Mine to see all the converging police suddenly begin to retreat, as a muscle bound man comes bolting from the Mine, carrying two men, one in each hand. A heartbeat later, a violent explosion rocks the area, ejecting debris from the mouth of the Mine, which swiftly collapses.

"Oh my God! Did you get that?! There was an explosion in the Mine! Paramedics & police are moving in and...we got him! Mark Collins & the Texas Rangers have apprehended the Fugitive!"

Double murder of suspected child killers broadcast on Cryptoleaks!

A Channel 200 News Breaking Special, Live from Cryptoleak. 
 
On a seedy independent news broadcast, known for it's tackling of shocking topics and local sports the feed cuts in to a peppy looking blonde woman in her 40's, Angela Nightly. A famed news broadcaster who greets the audience with her usual inner fire 
 
"Hello everyone! We interrupt our coverage of this weeks College Football League to bring you a live update! Someone claiming to be the sister of someone murdered by the prepetrators of the Mama Ettu murder kidnapping has uploaded a video straight to Cryptoleak of her enacting vigiliante justice upon the child slayers, but what will shock you is just who it is! Now. We advise that you turn your kids away from the screen for this one, as this footage is graphic!" 
 

The feed cuts again, swapping to something shot on an incredibly old or just incredibly cheap. It showcases two dastardly terrorists tied up in chairs bound and gagged one is clearly the man in the wendigo mask who had been documented running away at supernatural speeds from the scene of the crime and the other is just recognizable as Jules as when he committed suicide. A woman’s voice from behind the camera begins speaking “We are the Watchers those who hunt our kind regardless of their species must be punished.”
 
A woman in a full wedding gown with veil.
 
“For the murder of mi hermana and the brutal attack on Momma Ettu…. Using that poor child” The woman pauses as she brings a gasoline can into view as the two men begin squirming and clearly attempt to start screaming “You shall be purified of your sins with the Lords Fire.”
 
The woman slowly pours a gallon of gas on the two men as they struggle helplessly. The woman bends down once to look into the each man’s eyes before stepping out of camera sight. The background of all of the video is a sheer metal wall. The men struggle for a few seconds before a light is seen tossed in between the two and they ignite fully and begin to burn and twist in horrific pain.
 
The feed cutbacks to a clearly harrowed Angela Nightly as she turns back to the camera and addresses this with 
 
"A gruesome display, but I say, it's what the men deserved! Killing a child. Absolutely awful. We need more proud, red blooded, Americans willing to go out and met out justice just like this! Though, that Jules was apparently behind it and faked his death in order to distract the national investigation into this, well that's almost as deplorable as the act itself. Though of course there is always potential that the footage is doctored, and our experts already know the woman involved was using voice changing software so the nature of this "Justice" is in of itself suspect. For now though, this reporter is willing to bet that this is the truth, and that we can all rest a little easier knowing these monsters are off the streets. That's all for tonight folks. This is Angela Nightly, reminding you all to watch the skies and watch each other. Channel 200 news, signing off." 

The feed then cuts back to coverage of college football, the world marching on as if nothing had happened.

Wild cryptids?

An article appeared on the trending page, With 3 footage that seems to have been from cryptoleak.

Cryptids have always been mysterious to us, we try to find proof of them, such as big foot! Today though, We have found more! Always caught on blurry camera, we discovered something else! 

In Washington DC appears to be a hell hound or maybe a black shuck perhaps? A large dog with red eyes and shadow like fur. It appears to go and vanish with the shadows with ease!

In Michigan, a white stag with lightning antlers has been video taped charging and electrocuting hunters! A video is shown where this pure snow white stag charges a hunter who shot it. The bullet bouncing off of its skin. Followed by the stag letting off electricity on the hunter causing everyone to run away, with the stag gone.

In Chicago, a terrifying large rat has been discovered in the sewers. 2 teenage boys recount their experience with only a very blurry photo. The rat appears to be bigger than a person's fist. The boys stats that the rat broke their skateboard and could breathe fire!

 

How absolutely fiery of a experience! I'm sure these are very electrifying to read. Cryptids are leaving the shadows and are being seen more often! Will we be able to stop them? Is nature fated to mutate and become ever more so deadly?

Today the world has witnessed the charm and flair of the legendary Bu Fang. Everyone see’s a video that has gone viral with over a billion views. A man named Alan appears at Bu Fang’s restaurant and states, "I am here to show that this man is a total fake, fraud, and snowflake." The young man continues his lies. In the video everyone can see Bu Fang taking a verbal beating from him but like all good cooks doesn't respond to the criticism or the lies. He takes out his cooking utensils and with a bit of razzle and dazzle makes an amazing Golden Shumai dish unknown to the world. Every inch of the food looks delectable. Bu Fang gives a long stare with the comment, “This is my house, your skill is unmatched, go home.” and The comments exploded over the internet and for several days this video was played all over social media and the news. Alan has been blasted for being a brat and is nowhere to be seen for the last few days. His family and friends are asking for privacy.

Superhero of LA Tames Wildfire & Flaming Beast: Iryna Vorobyova, “Mother of Dragons”

Numerous videos flood social media coupled with official reports by reputable news outlets. All accounts show a muscular, 6-foot Slavic woman in her mid-twenties with near-glowing green eyes swiftly walking down the sidewalks of suburban Los Angeles. She is half-naked, wearing the rags of a yellow Los Angeles County Fire Department firefighter outfit without the gloves, helmet, and mask. Most of the outfit is visibly charred and disintegrated (some spots still having glowing embers and smoldering). Despite her skin being covered in black soot, the woman appears entirely unharmed. As she walks, she effortlessly holds a two-foot-long lizard that looks something like a salamander, but it’s body glows red hot like an ember. The entire chest area where the lizard is being pressed against the woman’s torso has been burned off.
The woman is being escorted by several police officers and a crowd of firefighters, a group which collectively staves off the general public and a flock of reporters. As they yell out their questions and direct their cameras and microphones in the woman’s direction, she simply repeats with a clear Ukrainian accent: “Please no flash. The drakon does not like it.”
 
Several videos go viral of this new Los Angeles hero, Iryna Vorobyova, walking up to a wall of forest fire and effortlessly absorbing it--bright flames being supernaturally drawn from where they burn straight into her mouth as she slowly inhales--flames which turn a bright green just inches before vanishing past her lips. Iryna is credited with saving the Angeles National Forest, preventing potentially millions of dollars in damages to homes and infrastructure--as well as preventing loss of life. She is also celebrated by environmentalists for securing the “arsonist” lizard-like creature alive and ensuring its safe containment at local LA County Fire Station 130.
 
Both the creature, which Iryna named “Vuhlynka,” and Iryna have become informal mascots for the Los Angeles County Fire Department. However, when the Fire Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department was asked if Iryna Vorobyova would become a permanent and hired member of the force, the Fire Chief replied: “We are grateful for Miss Vorobyova's help and welcome her to continue volunteering as a crucial member of the firefighting force.”

Jeremy Wesley seeks head for new supernatural crimes divsion!

Channel 7 News: A Brave New World or 1984 in the making?

 

A blonde male reporter brings in what the channel claims to be a special news bulletin, stating that they're receiving breaking news directly from the Governor's Office before he begins to read off the details as they are conveyed to him, the 24/7 news cycle having trained the man well as he said the following

"The Governor of Tennessee, Jeremy Wesley, released a statement today seeking out the good supernatural people of the world, asking them to back his new motion which has been met with powerful opposition from his opposition, and though many are decrying the effort it seems that the Governor is doubling down, what follows is his statement to the public"

The feed changes, showing Jeremy Wesley. Sharply dressed as always in the finest suit that money could buy, red tie neatly pressed and looking on directly into the camera as he issues the following statement

"I am looking for Someone who is dedicated to the greater good and who can discern between what’s evil and what is just different. Tennessee and the great country of the United States Of America will lead the forefront on integrating and utilizing those who wish for a greater tomorrow together. I am looking for an individual to take the charge of this pristine opportunity to help shape the future of Tennessee to a glorious new age of prosperity."
 
The Feed cuts back, and the blonde man rattles on for a few minutes about the concerns of a supernatural police force being made and assures the viewers that they will be watching closely for future updates.

Nationwide Forgery/Identity Theft Crime Ring Busted!

A Federal Bureau of Invesitgation press release quickly hit mainstream news:

The FBI set up a sting on a multi-state crime ring, resulting in fifteen people to date being apprehended and accused of participating in crimes related to document forgery and identity theft. The majority worked in the lower ranks of various Department of Motor Vehicles, and several worked at state agencies including the United States Social Security Administration and the United States Post Office. These individuals have received a range of indictments from eight United States Attorneys who's districts span from coast to coast. Statements were also made by several State Attorney General decrying the accusees' suspected actions--actions which help dangerous criminals evade the law, defraud citizens and government social services, and harm innocent children whos identities have been stolen and used for nefarious purposes for years without anyone knowing. 

Business seemed to have been good before the bust. Eighty-seven false identities suspected to have been made by the accused within the last year were publicly released as "people of interest" (excluding bu Fang's alias and the other alias he had set up recently). The FBI encouraged these individuals to come forward and cooperate with the ongoing investigation, with the associated benefits of doing so being subtly implied.

All news articles also included an obligatory warning: "Forgery is considered a crime in all 50 states and on the federal level. While state level forgery is punishable by up to several years in a state prison, federal forgery is a much more serious offense punishable by incarceration in a federal prison for up to 20 years, as well as costly fines."

 

As a result of the crime ring bust and public burn of fake identities, for the next several months (GM discretion) anyone using their criminal contacts to attempt to secure new Aliases (via a Move) will have a much more difficult time doing so. The majority of contacts fear that any interaction with their networks and even their regular clients will result in them being turned in.

Complaints from rural areas of the Russian Federation continue to pour in, claiming that the "limited draft" for Russian soldiers to continue the Special Military Operation in Ukraine is disproportionately effecting poor villages & ethnic groups the Kremlin labels "undersirable." These unfortunate Conscripts are being used in Human Wave attacks on the front lines, with little to no training & sub standard equipment. An influx of youg Russian men continue to flood neighboring countries as those with the means abandon their livelyhood to avoid the draft.

Officials in the Russian Military had no comment on the matter at this time.

Texas, Kentucky, and Alabama roll out new Food Stamp Legislation

Food Stamps and social program legislation has come down cutting benefits for people in these states completely if they are unable to pass a drug screen. In addition, they have come out in public statements decrying the new strain of heroin that has begun flooding the streets. Blaming illegal immigration for this rise in new hard drugs, they are cracking down on border policies and travel of non-native citizens with additional random searches and the deployment of K-9s at all Texas, Kentucky, and Alabaman airports. This has been met with public outcry as they blame the recent introduction of Republican Support from reclusive financial magnate Timothy Humbug who has come into the political recently in support of these ventures and has been seen taking selfies in front of food kitchens that have been closed in high drug traffick neighborhoods with the hashtag on these being #GetFoodnotHigh.  

 

When questioned as to why he has given so much support to this movement Timothy said 

 

"It's just best that if you can't afford food, and you're buying drugs, having kids, and messing up my country you need to choose between your bad habits and survival. The soft-touch has not worked so I think it's just best for everyone that these people have to make a choice."

Two Alliances

Five know that an alliance has been formed between the Knights of Equestria and the United Western Region. And then seven knew. And, as the months go by, 331,900 knew. All who wear Kevin’s Friendship Bracelet will receive favorable treatment from the members of a werecreature shadow government that span the United States. Not every werecreature knows about this group consisting of American citizens who consider themselves to have dual citizenship. Some of these citizens live entierly in what remains of the wild lands of North America, and others live entirely in modern society, hiding in plain sight. But all of these citizens understand that the new alliance means a willingness to help a friend in need.

Every friend of Kevin in Maelstrom receives a wedding invitation to celebrate the union of Barbara Kensington (a compassionate horse veterinarian in her early forties) and Kevin Sparkles: an afternoon wedding in Big Bend National Park, BBQ and picnic food, and the uniting of friends. An astute friend might note that the bride and groom didn’t know each other for very long. They may even notice that Barbara is happy but not bride-marrying-the-love-of-her-life happy. However, a beaming Kevin tells his guests that he believes he found his soul mate. Anna Xagua (Barbara’s adopted niece and soon-to-be Kevin’s stepdaughter) is a very shy yet happy maid of honor guest. Kevin’s grandma, who had nearly lost all hope of her precious grandson finding a "good one," is ecstatic. And Simba, Anna’s 10-year-old Maine Coon, doesn’t give a damn.

What might have been mistaken as wedding prep during the weeks before was a group of friends providing a different kind of support. One friend upped the security system of Kevin's suburb home in Chicago, adding an advanced technological layer to the existing magical one. Another helped install an environmentally friendly garden in the backyard. Another subtly drained the bank accounts and maxed out the credit cards of three individuals, one known to be dead and the two others presumed to be dead. Using the dark web and bitcoin shenanigans, a trust fund of $400,000 was set up to cover the additional expenses associated with being responsible for the well-being of a 15-year-old. It also covered the sudden wedding expenses.

Stories have intertwined, this time in a good way.

Legendary Sword Found by Famous Sentai Actor!

The news chimes and while it’s by no means breaking to some, to at least one person, it should be rather concerning. Pictures are leaked online from an anonymous source in reaction to the My Little Pony ARG. They start their leaked video on a black screen and start by congratulating those who were brave enough to seek out the secrets of Sparklestar Swordborn and Friends. The voice is obviously garbled and changed as to not be recognizable.

“However, only one could claim this prize and I’m sure the world will be overjoyed to see the First Knight of Equestria. Well, here he is!”

And the screen will flash to a vivid hidden camera photo of none other than the famous sentai actor, Daisuke Aino!

“This was a shock to me as well! We had two runners-up search for the Smoky’s Sword, but were unfortunately duped by forgeries.

The screen will flash with heavily blurred photos of two individuals. No identifiable information can be discerned perhaps except for the fact that they were both male.

“Their effort was commendable, but it is time to usher in and welcome our First Knight, the holder of a legendary blade imbued by the power of Smoky’s resolve! We eagerly await their process in spreading friendship and love across the planet!”

It’s Getting Quiet

In an expanse of Wildreness in America a predator has taken up a nesting area for unknown reasons. Though typically migrating is it's normal behavior it has chosen to stay and deviate from this standard behavior. It possesses a voracious appetite and seems to be incredibly picky in what it eats to the point of eating something to extinction in the area it claims. Some may have begun to notice that a few species have dispersed from this area but they seem to have chosen to not alert anyone. Three species have already disappeared throwing the location ecosystem into turmoil. Should this continue a total ecosystem crash is a potential in the area. The species that make up an ecosystem are connected in complex "food webs" of eater and eaten. When one species disappears, its predators can no longer eat it and its prey are no longer eaten by it. Changes in these populations affect others. Such impact 'cascades' can be unpredictable and sometimes catastrophic.

This Just In...

At 7am local time, Jules Point - a man named by the creature Connor Metal just before his brutal death at the hands of an angry mob, was seen today to stop his Audi in the middle of traffic on the high point Pennsacola Bay Bridge - as enraged commuters looked on, he stepped out of his car, moved to the edge, raised his arms to the sky & apparently (according to onlookers) shouted:

 

"CHAMAEL, FORGIVE ME!"

 

Before leaping to the waters below - the car snagged EMS response, so far Mr. Point has not been found.

Pagnanelli CEO Steps Down | His Son Takes Over and Makes a Statement

A time slot is selected on several news channels mainly across the US. It is titled as a Public Announcement: Pagnanelli CEO Steps Down.

When the time slot arrives, a live conference in an undisclosed location appears on screen. There’s a pause for a few seconds before a man, well dressed in a suit and tie and dress pants walks on stage. His short cut matte black hair is a bit messy, his eyes are baggy, and his face is difficult to read, but he immediately speaks without script or hesitation,

“Greetings, fellow Americans. I hope your holidays are as warm as they are fortunate. I regret to inform you that the CEO of Pagnanelli Industries has stepped down. He referenced his short sightedness and old methods for the company’s stagnation and for that, he offers his sincerest apologies. He plans to retire and will likely never return to corporate politics in the future.”

The man pauses, takes a deep breath, and stands up a bit straighter,

“Thus, I, his son, Jonathan Pagnanelli, will be taking his place as CEO henceforth.”

Cameras flash and questions immediately spew from the lips of anxious reporters, but as Jonathon begins to speak, they quiet down.

“Rest assured, our objectives to protect the people and pioneer a new age of technology has not changed. We still intend to provide protection against the negatively inclined gifted among us, however, I fully believe in a future society where the gifted can walk among us without the need to hide their true nature from us. My gifted friends, I speak directly to you. If you are with us, we are willing to extend a hand to help… However, if you choose to stand against us, we will not hesitate to protect the people and ourselves in full cooperation with the authorities. My father may have been old, but he was a family man at heart and he protected his kin like no other. I plan to follow him in that respect. Thank you for your time.”

Jonathan adjusted his suit and walked off the podium. To any perceptive individuals, a card of some sort peeked out of his suit pocket. The words were small and surprisingly legible, but would definitely need to be looked at a little closely to gleam their meaning.

Purdue to move in on small town after harrowing murder spree!

Channel 7 News Tennessee with a special report 

 

Tragedy struck the tiny town of Nolen's Gap this past week when it was discovered that a serial killer had sprouted up within its quiet rural domain once again. Our special reporter Danielle Riveria is here to cover the strange and harrowing saga of the small town as it struggles to recover from the deadly blow dealt to its citizens and its economy.  

 

The feed swaps for a moment, cutting to show a professional-looking woman outside a police department where police tape and shattered windows can do little to shield the public from the sight of the horror within, and though the camera's focus is elsewhere this shot is the angle that will captivate local news all across Tennessee for about a week.

The woman pauses to gaze at the horror before turning back, with a false smile plastered on to mask the revulsion she doubtlessly felt at what she had just witnessed as she turns to report

"This small Tennessee town was gripped in terror this past week, In positive news, it seems it has been confirmed that chicken giant Purdue will be stepping in to fill the hole left behind by the departure of the once loved locally owned chicken farm, providing jobs and stability in these uncertain times to these country folk who were in desperate need.

Now, some minority voices have been raised in protest stating that this marks the death of the small town's independence, but we at Channel 7 couldn't disagree more. In bringing in the big boys, this small town is also bringing in big business wages to match its big business acumen, and we think this town's residents will smile a little wider once they open up those first paychecks. Until next time, this is Channel 7 Tennesse signing out. "

The feed cuts back, and the story is immediately moved over to another. Discussing yet another horrific school shooting. One in a march of a thousand modern tragedies. Forgotten before the week is done for those not watching.

My Little Pony: The Story of Sparklestar Swordborn and Friends!

A surprise release of a full My Little Pony TV show has been leaked online, but there are more than a few oddities to accompany it. For starters, questions about its quality. The more niche side of the internet is in a bit of a positive uproar, but most others are met with confusion. Hasbro has come forward to announce that they were not the creators of the show, cementing this as an assumed fan-made creation. The YouTube community caught wind and some are starting to report on it,

"Dude, I don't understand how they even did this! It looks way too real! Like, look at that edge line and compare it to every other movie that's been released in the last decade. I guarantee you, you will never find one so consistent. The budget on this had to be insane!"

"The pores stretch! The pores stretch!"

"It really is a wonder. Just looking at it- you can usually tell what studio or person made this, but it has a completely unique style we don't see anywhere else."

“Yo, Pixar and Disney better watch the fuck out! There’s a new kid on the block!”

The show depicts the adventures of Sparklestar Swordborn and his band of friends defending the public from monsters, and the greedy and selfish villains wielding superhuman abilities. Specifically, the story takes great care in fleshing out the main characters and their motivation for gaining their own abilities and powerful game changing equipment and armor. While not all are entirely noble, the characters are however sympathetic and many online have expressed their love for them in the way Tumblr and 4chan tend to. Art shows up on various forums of some prominent main characters:

Platinum Moon

Onyx Armor

Brisk Spirit

Cookie Dough

 

However, that is not where the oddities end. There are 12 episodes in total- or well, there are supposed to be. The 11th episode is noticeably absent- the episodes skip from 10 and move straight to 12 as if it were just plucked out of the pile. In any case, all 11 episodes are titled and while the actual episodes themselves are played straight, after the ending theme, some people have noticed that a set of numbers flash on the screen for the final frame of every episode that was released. A list has already been compiled:

Episode Names | Numbers/Letters

  1. A new adventure awaits for us | adf
  2. What a wonderful wonder friendship brings | 9f5
  3. Kindness is never in short supply | 4d
  4. For honesty, no pony can deny | 2d3
  5. When danger makes you wanna hide | 829
  6. A heart that shines so beautiful | 89
  7. We'll make it special every time | 232
  8. Do you know you're all my very best Friends! | e4
  9. Our friendship's magic and it's growing every day | c60
  10. What is friendship all about | 314
  11. (Absent)
  12. Friendship is magic! | bf5


Furthermore, alongside each episode, still images were also uploaded- 12 in total. The file names of the still images correspond directly with the episode names they released with. Most of it is poses or action shots of the characters fighting against evil and even though there is no 11th episode, there is an 11th image. However, instead of an action shot, it's about 2000 lines of gray text in tiny size ten font on a pure black background that reads:

"Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me!

There is more to this Pandora’s box than where I come from…”

 

So far, nobody has been able to figure out what this means.

But my little ponies, you opened up my eyes
And now the truth is crystal clear, as splendid summer skies.
And it's such a wonderful surprise.

I used to wonder what friendship could be.
(My Little Pony)
Until you all shared its magic with me.

When danger makes me wanna hide, you'll Rainbow Dash to my side,
Kindness is never in short supply, once smitten twice Fluttershy.
For honesty no pony can deny, you are the Applejack of my eye,
A heart that shines so beautiful, a Rarity to come by
And you all make fun and laughter as easy as Pinkie Pie!

(My Little Pony)
I used to wonder what friendship could be.
(My Little Pony)
Until you all shared its magic with me.

Our friendship's magic and it's growing all the time.

We'll make it special every time!
We'll make it special every time!

New Charity Organization offers Insulin to various communities at Florida

 

                                                Recently in the wealthy city of Palm Beach, a Charity was started by Edgar Trowsten, going by the name of the Millerson Foundation, named after his son of 6, dying to a diabetic related condition due to a lack of insulin. Given how his last charity collapsed due to a lack of funding, it came as much surprise to him when multiple anonymous donaters sent 10s of thousands of dollars his way, properly funding the charity to start Insulin production and giving it away to those in need, working with Hen's Truckers to transport them from town to town to help those who can't afford life saving insulin normally

Mark Collins starts GoFundMe

Mark Collins has spent his whole life helping others, now it's your turn to help him.

 

Mark's goal for this is $375,000, enough to cover chemo, pharmaceuticals, and day to day expenses since being a hero doesn't pay the bills.

 

If he does not raise these funds, Mark will do his best to continue helping people as long as he can, but his Doctor only gives him 6 months without treatment as it has been discovered his cancer has metastisized from his pituitary and spread throughout his body, requiring heavy chemo.

 

 

 

"Mark showed up and, after getting to know him a little, he gave us hope where there was none before. Made us think we could make a difference. It's the least we can do." 

 

William Cerrow, heir to the shipwrecked MV Bianca. 

 

"He killed the Kraken for us when one else was coming, and even saw us all to shore individually. He even helped me find relatives after that and get back on my feet."

 

 

Just what you can spare, Mark wouldn't want it any other way.

College Campus Shut Down While Police Investigate

A News Story breaks in the sleepy town of Goshen, IN on the 10 o Clock news. 

A reporter sits behind a table with a grimace on their face. They look directly into the screen and announce slowly "The local college Goshen College was closed today as a Gun fight apparently ensued around 7:15." The reporter shuffles some papers and then continues. "Reportedly 6 individuals were involved in the gunfight with four being slain. The police have identified through ids on the victims the names of the deceased and have released them and are asking for anyone to come forward if they have any information." The reporter shuffles once more as three pictures come up next to him from security cameras showing three faces "The victims were a Johnathon Larat, a Bismark Candy as well as what appears to be a second Mr. Candy who's first name has not been released, and a Dr. Darius Wilson. The reporter looks at the camera and solemnly says "It was a travesty so much death on another school grounds police also report two  other victims were found deceased no more then a block away and police are investigating if there is a connection." The reporter solemnly finally looking at the camera and says "An Austin Metra was seen fleeing the scene so please call  911 if you have any information or call ×××-×××-×××× to reach the Goshen Police Department."

Between 1988 and 1991, the Federal Police of Brazil estimate that almost six thousand minors were killed in the street by active, off-duty, and former police force members. While some of these children’s murders or “executions” can be written off as police doing what they have to do to keep the country safe from criminals (proven guilty or not), many cases simply used that concept as an excuse to be negligent, lazy, or downright sadistic. These children were often homeless, having no education, job, or claim to legal identity farther than a name on a death certificate.

 

And it is from these death certificates that a bribed man chooses a name and CPF to pass over to Amarjeet Inderpal. A child named Theo Simões, shot at 11, whose face and birth date roughly match those of Connor Inkz. The real Theo’s death is now erased from all records in place of a heartwarming set of articles on his life and success as a tattoo artist: Theo Simões had a room full of drawings as a child, Theo Simões was approached by a famous artist and told to never give up, Theo Simões has a secret work of the girlfriend he lost in a tragic car accident leading to a passion for beautiful things to stick with him forever and learning to put what he loves literally into his skin, etc etc etc, falsehoods with drama fit for a Netflix original series.

 

Connor Inkz receives a passport and set of identifying documents that mean, for all intents and purposes, he is a free man. He is able to leave Brazil with a fresh smile on his face (literally, thanks to his powers) and continue to travel and purchase under this identity.

Developing Story...

A person going by the name of "Ricky Sanchez" infiltrated the hospital holding one "Momma Ettu", a figure of some controversey who was recently brutally attacked & maimed in a crime bearing disturbing similarities to the death of one Connor Metal, the human/serpect Chimera killed in Police custody in Florida.

Mr. Sanchez secured work at the hospital in the dietary/nutrition department for a full month, no doubt reconnitering the hospital & security measures in place. Having determined the relevant patterns & shift changes, Mr. Sanchez then abducted Ms. Ettu from her bed, hiding the crippled old woman in a food delivery cart. There after security cameras show him brazenly move the cart to the garbage bins out back, & transfer what we can presume is Ettu to a waiting garbage truck. Thus far, Ettu, Sanchez, & the Truck have not yet been discovered.

Is this more work by the dastardly malefactors who so brutally attacked the famed occultist? Or is this the work of yet another interested party, abducting the woman for ransom, or even for occult purposes? At this time, no one knows for sure - the man named "Ricky Sanchez" seems to have never existed, with all related information provided to the employer being false or misleading.

Once again, the nation holds it's breath, waiting to see the fate of the unfortunate Mama Ettu...

Fox 5 New York Exclusive: South Central Park loft ablaze.

We interrupt this program to bring you this special broadcast, Viewer Discretion is advised. 

 

Fox 5 New York Special Broadcast: Unknown gang suspected in the kidnapping and severe maiming of acclaimed controversial occultist "Momma Ettu". 

A special news broadcast that interrupted the feed on every channel, Fox 5 was just the one to get it first this time. Those who catch this later may receive this in the form of a News Article on their site, commemorating the tragedy of Momma Ettu, little Oscar Williams, and the 10 who perished in the ensuing panic and fire. 

The feed comes in quickly, a woman in a neat black suit with a stack of papers in front of her gazes into the camera. Her eyes sunken, and dark, telling the story before she ever spoke. 

"11 dead, 20 injured. This is the death toll of what is being called the South Central Park bombing, including little Oscar Williams. All were killed in a suspected gang-related attack on South Central Park today at High Noon. Exclusive footage shows a terrifying man, easily the size of an Olympic bodybuilder tearing out of the apartment building at what are unnatural speeds carrying the now formally declared missing famed occultist Momma Ettu who appeared to be severely injured in what Authorities are now saying was a supernaturally assisted kidnapping attempt. Though Momma Ettu is a recently controversial figure, we at Fox 5 New York now pray for her discovery and that this does not spell the end of her storied life. If anyone has any leads that may lead to the identification, or location of the man documented kidnapping her on the screen now, Authorities are offering a 20,000 bounty for information that leads to their capture." 

The screen will linger on the appearance of a masked man before the 24-hour news cycle cuts to another bit of coverage, the weather forecast for people watching live, but for those catching this later, they'll see that the video ends here.

For those living there though. Everyone in New York saw it, heard it, and felt it. The explosion that killed a child, evolved into a fire that claimed the lives of 10 others in the ensuing panic rather through stampeding or fire, and the kidnapping of that old lady. After the grenade went off and they confirmed it was a bombing, they shut down the bridges and the planes. Tens of millions bottled up in a city won't easily forget the cause, and soon enough, Momma Ettu's kidnapping became the talk of the town in a town that couldn't sleep. 

No one had any solid suspects, any leads that meant a damn thing, but the search and rescue eventually found Momma Ettu. The news feed that day had over 5 million views as the nation turned to see a celebrity they had thought dead come back to life. 

Famed Occultist Momma Ettu Rescued, Fox News 5 Exclusive:

The feed this time is of a paramedic team wheeling a maimed woman covered in a blanket being loaded onto a stretcher. The grim expressions painted across the features of the men and women in charge of her care paint a clear picture of the information that came next as the camera would cut back to the News Reporter who's expression soon mirrored that of the paramedics as they read what had occurred as they spoke it, their voice shaking 

"The missing occultist Momma Ettu was discovered in the basement of a home not too far from the shores of New York City itself. Chained to a radiator, her eyes and tongue removed, and her ears damaged to the point that she can no longer hear. The old woman was further tortured it seems, with the words "Thief" and "Betrayer" carved into her chest. Paramedics were able to confirm that the bleeding had been stopped on all these wounds with a method of crude cauterization that also seemed to be the manner of inflicting the majority of these injuries. Though they are unable to ascertain the nature of her blindness and deafness, as these seem to be newly identified malformities in her physiology which as far as they can ascertain were congenital. This strange attack, however, has drawn the nation's attention to the once-controversial educator, and now it is our thoughts and prayers that we offer for her recovery. Thus it is with a prayer for the departed that this is Fox News 5, signing out."

The screen then transitions to where a group is holding a candlelight vigil and prayer for those harmed in this tragedy, and a donation hotline is plastered across the bottom of the screen for those looking to assist the people who have lost in this tragedy.

Inside of a pickup on a dirt road in a sleepy town in the middle of nowhere...

"Soon will be the day of reckoning," an aging man says to another. "He has shown His glory, I saw it with my own two eyes." The man wears well-beaten overalls, dirty with the mechanical black grease. He has a pistol on his right hip, the holster still left unbuckled from an attempted draw just minutes ago.

"Father McCarthy spoke of his vision a few days back. That he knew that it would soon be time for us to be called upon," the second man says, slightly younger than the first. This one wears jeans and a green t-shirt spotted with specks of dirt and mud. "I've been practicing down at the range for exactly all of this."

"He came to us because He knew we would be useful. I couldn't understand a single word he said, but I know that to be true," says the first, "He sees something in us. A real life angel in our place of worship. Father McCarthy will talk to some folks, but he doesn't want us blabbing too much. Can't let the word get out too far. He said that the angel told us to wait...

"...and he said the angel's name was Chamael."

Contractor Witch Hunt In Angleton Texas

"Yesterday, at 6:00 pm in Angleton texas, multiple explosions rocked the city. Illegal homemade explosives were used in attempts to cover up a bank robbery, which was used as an attempt to persecute a local family, as shown by text messages on the suspect's cellphones. Their ringleader was John White, who is still at large."

"They faked a bank robbery and sightings of these "contractors" using the explosives, in an attempt to frame these women, by using illegal evidence obtaining techniques."

"Anyone with knowledge of White's whereabouts please report him to your local authorities."

Contractors shoot lightning at Armored SUV in Johnsbury, Vermont

A state-wide news story has garnered national attention.

 

Johnsbury, Vermont:

Multiple eyewitness accounts confirm that a supernatural high speed chase took place in our city yesterday evening. 

The cause is unknown, but an abandoned, totalled armored SUV was found on site, with a hole blown in the back. 

Marie Pedio, 22, of the local Starbucks claims it began there when 4 people pulled up into the parking lot and handed a bundled up package to another guest. She did not identify the guests, and management cited a malfunction on the security cameras. What she does know, is that as they were talking to the customer who was already there, an armored SUV pulled up into the parking lot and the contractors were visibly unsettled by it's appearance.  It had no visible government or company markings. One of the contractors got into the SUV before it sped off, and the others quickly gave chase.

 

The reckless high speed chase damaged several vehicles, and 4 people were treated for minor injuries in the aftermath though only one was hospitalized, and has since been released.

 

Red light cameras caught photos of the chase in progress. A state-wide response has been initiated for the investigation, through in full cooperation with the FBI after a Henry Ballard, sheriff of Bethlehem, New Hampshire tipped them off that a group matching the description stayed at the local inn and were seen poking around his town before being swarmed by local wildlife fleeing a local estate.  "We ain't really seen nothin like this before. First the crows, then it comin to a head like this? We're a small, safe town, and if we all keep our wits about us I'm sure we can get past it and move on. I bet all this was related to those.. what's the word.. contractors?"

 

Descriptions given by the Ms Padio line up with descriptions given by several locals of Bethlehem, and it is believed to have been the same group. One member had small horns noticable on their head.

 

Though it hasn't been formally released, there have been some images posted on the data hosting site 'Cryptoleak'.

In the interest of transparency, we have included a photo, though keep in mind the FBI have not made any statement as to it's validity. 

 

(Two photos are included- one of a armored unarmed SUV with tinted windows taking a turn so sharply two of it's wheels are off the ground, then of a car in hot pursuit with a shattered windshield, a sniper rifle barrel protruding through a hole near the dashboard, and someone wearing a full hood like you'd see on a hazardous materials suit handing their head out of the window to drive. 

Both vehicles had multiple tires punctured in the shootout, riding on their back rims, showering sparks on the road.

 

When police arrived, the SUV was on its side, on fire, and the suspected contractors had fled the scene.

RECOVERED FOOTAGE | GORILLA APPARENTLY DECLARED ALLEGIANCE TO ISIS BEFORE CAR BOMBING A RESEARCH INSTITUTION!!!

It is currently the 8th August at 7:00 pm and THIS JUST IN, recovered footage of a natural disaster now suspected of being a terrorist attack. Distant witnesses claimed to see a spontaneous tornado appear in the forest. Trees and dirt were flung high in the air- lasting between 5 and 19 seconds! When authorities hit the scene, it was apparently a massacre at the Pagnanelli research center. A death toll of 100%. 

When authorities collected leftover footage, it was discovered that most of it was erased, with the exception of this:

The footage rolls and plays the video of a gorilla driving down the road in a black Ford Humvee. It sticks its arm out the car window, shouts "ooh ooh aah aah", and crashes into the research building. The car explodes soon after and the footage cuts out.

"The authorities are investigating with Pagnanelli. We will update you as the situation unfolds!"

PAGNANELLI FINALLY MAKES A PUBLIC STATEMENT!

An event will be scheduled- a time slot filled with the section name above.

A man will approach a podium, middle aged with short black hair, hazelnut eyes, and dressed in a clean black suit and tie. He leans into the mic,

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the American public and residents of Indiana. My name is Jeremy Pagnanelli- the CEO of Pagnanelli. I understand our agency has received negative press in the last 6 months and for the affected families, I empathize. Our great nation and this great state more expressly, have been made aware of the existence of Contractors. Supernatural individuals who are highly dangerous yet could be anyone you know- neighbors, friends, and family included. 

Well, we have conducted internal investigations and have determined that the actions of our employees and workers are the result of these Contractors and their ability to exert control over people like you and I. Those with families, lives, and livings just trying to provide for their loved ones. Azazel, the victim of a spontaneous attack by Contractors, was a personal and family friend. He will be missed. Dr. Goldberg is currently in medical care as a result of the stress this whole ordeal has caused him. And I do not believe I need to remind us of the actions of David Silvana and his decision to end thousands of lives during the Indianapolis Bombings on August 1st.

But I am here to tell you, the people, that we are done. As of now, we are currently in talks with the Federal Government in a mutual partnership for the sole interest of protecting the American people. So fear not, fellow citizens. I know you have questions. I know you are scared- as am I. But this is the world we will live in if changes are not made. A world where, at any time, you may be possessed, killed, or mind controlled for crossing the wrong person on their worst day.

So stay sharp, fellow citizens. We are committed to your safety and will keep you updated.”

As the man walks away from a whirlwind of camera flashes and shouting reporters, he adjusts his suit and gives an assertive glance to the camera. To many, it would appear as an assertive demeanor from a man that means business. 

To others, it’s an accepted challenge. A dare? A provocation?

 

 It was a declaration of war.

LOCAL PAGNANELLI SECURITY GUARD FOUND PUNCHING BABIES IN MATERNITY WARD!!

This just in- breaking news- it is 9 pm and we've just been informed that a psycho guard in full combat gear stormed into the local Indianapolis hospital, made his way to the maternity ward, and began to use a pair of brass knuckles to start beating newborn babies, nurses, and their mothers. We have video of the incident. Be aware, folks, what you see will be very disturbing.

 

The video feed will begin and depict a man hyping himself up, constantly saying "Get psyched! Get psyched! Get psyched!". The man with a wide smile and a hyped expression storms into the ward, decks a nurse upside the head, and then breaks the glass that leads to the room of newborn. The subsequent footage is extremely blurred out and the sound is cut. But the subtitles detail that the man was screaming, "For Pagnanelli! For Pagnanelli! Fuck your kids! Fuck your kids!". The footage cuts out.

 

A reported 17 babies were murdered and 31 were mortally wounded in the attack. Following the recent attack on Indianapolis, the people just can't get a break.

 

This is part of a long line of Pagnanelli accusations where previously, two senior scientists were filmed fornicating with a corpse and eating babies respectively. The federal government has remained suspiciously quiet through the entire ordeal. We will update you as the situation unfolds!

The Kraken Slayer cracks down on terror!

KRAKEN DOWN ON ISIS

The Boise Superman has gone international!

In Belgrade today, ISIS struck the national museum of art and in doing so destroyed many unique pieces of art, and even stole a mountain of cursed gold! 

However, the superhero of America stood in front of a hail of bullets and even tackled a man aiming an RPG at Serbian culture, taking it to the chest and coming out the other side wounded but alive!

Though ISIS did bring reinforcements to ultimately defeat the police, and Mark Collins himself the Serbian military was bought enough time to save the day without further casualties. 

In addition, security footage recovered from the event detailed a strange woman fleeing out the back shortly followed by a woman abducting the curator and absconding while pursued by his secretary! Was this woman involved in these awful attacks? More at 11.

The Public Grieves for Indianapolis' Terrorist Attack | Memorial Established at Local Hospital

"The dead will never be forgotten and the people are making sure of that. Indianapolis Hospital is hosting a free event for the families of the victims. Those majorly affected by the incident are encouraged to come down and bring a token of rememberence."

The camera peers around toward a smiling couple with tears streaming down their faces. People are dancing, laughing, and celebrating for an unknown reason. A few people off to the side look on with minor disgust at the display. The cameras observe more families with sour faces drive into the parking and the moment they step out of their cars, their faces lift and their frowns dissapear. They look at each other with a mix of shock, happiness, horror, and belated joy.

LIVE BROADCAST: Captured Indianapolis Terrorist Speaks!

A man with curly hair speaks into a cluster of microphones in front of a small audience of journalists. The major networks are all there, broadcasting live. 

“I am Wilbur Smith, graduate of Casa Verde and special agent with the FBI. I have been spent the past five years investigating a group of mercenary killers. They refer to themselves only as ‘Contractors.’ The perpetrator of the recent terrorist attack in Indianapolis is in our custody and has confessed to being a member of this ‘Contractor’ organization. To avoid the death penalty, he has confessed and agreed to comply with officials to help us end this dangerous terrorist organization. Without further ado, here is David Silvana.”

The curly-haired man leaves the stage. A pair of black-suited agents escorts an impossibly-thin and pale man onto the stage. He clears his throat and begins to speak.


“My name is David Silvana, and I am a contractor.

“That is what we call ourselves. We work for powerful, shadowy individuals that we call the harbingers. They offer us power: supernatural artifacts, superpowers,  status, influence. In exchange we do anything they ask.

“We are cold and effective. We have no allegiance besides to the harbingers. We torture and kill. None of us have ever been brought to trial. Our murders go unsolved. We are subtle. Half the time, people think our targets died of natural causes.

“Not all Contractors look like me. Most are normal people with normal jobs. You can never tell who might be one of us. 

“The attack in Indianapolis was just another job well done. I did not work alone.

“Witnessing the pain and destruction touched something inside of me. I am willing to work with the authorities to dismantle the contractor organization. To begin I will reveal all of the Contractors that I have worked with.

“By the way, Goodberg is a cruel bastard.

“Here are the names of the other Contractors I have worked with: Kaerym Yasura, Mary Alice, Frank Cooper—“

The crack of a high powered rifle rings out, and David’s head pops like a grape. The rattle of automatic gunfire punctuates the panicked screams of the crowd. Finally, a series of fiery explosions consume the stage, and the live broadcast turns to static.

850NEWS.COM - Pensacola, Florida - Police station protest devolves into a massacre. 

 

The newest article on the website includes the T.V. report attached as a video file followed by a content warning below that reads 

 

The following footage may be disturbing to many, viewer descression is advised.”  

 

Alice Williams was able to get a hold of an active protestor, they wished to remain anonymous however they have agreed to give us their side of events 

 

The following is a transcript of the interview, a full length vide of the interview is due to be released tomorrow. 

 

It all started because of that fucking snake I tell you, that snake who lied corrupting the minds of men, a monster who shed his ugly disguise to reveal what was beneath - THE DEVIL, DEVIL INCARNATE I TELL YOU! AND THEN I HEARD THE VOICE OF GOD, GO FORTH HE TOLD ME, BRING ME THE SNAKE’S HEAD BEFORE IT ESCAPES!"

 

"Oh but I wasn’t the only one who heard it, I'm not crazy, no no no no, my brothers in arms also heard every word loud and clear, and it is then when we took action!"

 

"The pigs you see, they’re in league with the devil, they tried hiding the serpent of Eden, escape with it BUT DIVINE PROVIDENCE WAS ON OUR SIDE, THE LORD CAME DOWN FROM HEAVENS AND HE IMMOBILISED THE DEVIL’S CARRIAGE, it is then when the servants of the devil dropped their act and opened fire, thinking they could mow us – righteous god-fearing pure-blooded Americans down like we were cattle, but we fought back and won, we reminded the devil of the second amendment yes ma'am so we did!"

 

"And the... first deceiver, what came of it?"

 

"OH, THAT BAG OF SIN AND SCALES? I did the Lord’s work myself, with these two hands, I tore its head clean off and hung it up on one of the street lights to send Satan a message, don’t fuck with the U to the S of the motherfucking A! 

 

Attached is a photo of a mutilated torso with the lower half of a snake hanging from a street light, its head is missing, a giant gaping hole is present where the individual’s heart would be and the word SNITCH is carved into what’s left of their body in large blocky letters, the individual seems to have sustained countless stab wounds to the abdomen among the already described injuries. 

The backdrop framing the body is that of a police station aflame as the first responders perform their active duty. 

 

Our reporters were able to get their hands on unedited footage of the riot.

 

Attached below is grainy footage of the riot captured by the street cameras, it depicts a crowd of around fifty protestors throwing Molotov cocktails at the police line in front of the Pensacola police station before all as one charging towards the back parking lot seemingly unphased by tear-gas,  

 

The protestors break the police line and trample several officers underfoot  

 

Sounds semi-automatic sidearms being discharged can be heard shortly after as an armoured SWAT truck peels out of the parking lot only to be followed by the sounds of two fully automatic rifle being discharged into the crowd as the protestors collapse one after another. 

 

The firefight is short lived and the sounds of automatic fire soon die down though the protestors proceed to tear into each-other, using anything from firearms to their bare hands as in-fighting begins to take place. 

 

In the midst of the bloodshed a vaguely masculine figure can be seen fleeing the parking lot, weaving through smoke and tear gas as if trying to conceal their presence, their left hand halfway tucked under their shirt – it appears larger than the other and is severely deformed, though the exact nature of the deformity is impossible to tell due to the quality of the footage.

Batimir Press release! Clips of batimir answering questions at the end!

Batimir is standing in front of a stand. Seems like one of the stereotypical auditoriums as he has the Brother of blood flag behind him. He looks at the camera and the “crowd” before proceeding to start his speech.

 

“ I, Count Batimir Feratu, have come today to make a public statement regarding my recent
"disappearance" from the public eye, I'd like to inform the public on what I've been up to
as well as address some recent conspiracies and allegations I've received, as well as answer
any questions or concerns. I've also come up today to make a few statements and reveals
to the public as well regarding future plans and the results of my soul searching.

As a disclaimer I'd like to let you, the public, all my wonderful fans and patrons and all
those of you, equally as wonderful as you all are, to what I've been up to this past year.
I've spent this past year soulsearching, As some of you may know I've had quite the extensive
life and career and it's been a taxing one, I've spent this last year figuring what it is 
I as Batimir Feratu wish to do in this world with my new position as the philanthropist pop
icon I have become, and I have made a decision.

I, Count Batimir Feratu, wish to use my status and wealth and assets and connections in order
to benefit the human condition, it is appalling to me as a person who has suffered from the
qualms of disease and preexisting health conditions such as hemophilia and albinism, that
in the modern day and age some of us still suffer from such conditions and are often out of
luck when it comes to treating such conditions. I've began to draft up plans for how Im going
to use my person going forward, but I've decided to open up more research facilities, sponsor
teams and projects, and in general make incredible donations to philanthropy and charity works
to help those disadvantaged people.
This brings up the next notice I'd like to address, recently if some of you have been paying
attention to the news surrounding my name you'd know about a certain blog and certain allegations
of a "White Supremacist Cult" that I lead, I'd like to state that this is incredibly offensive
and hurtful to myself as I would never put a person over another purely due to race or 
blood or background... We all bleed the same shade, our blood is all the same, but this blog
has brought up a important oversight of mine... I don't do enough in the company that I've
created and It's brought to my attention that I need to start taking initiative.

I will be apart of the hiring process more closely now, I've decided to open up scholarship
programs for those looking to get into the medical and research fields, especially those of color 
backgrounds such as Asian, Hispanic / Latino, African American, Indigneous, and other groups.
I've decided that it's important to open up such a exclusive field to more people, and I've
began to make the push for programs and scholarship paths for people to take.
Additionally I've began pushing for the opening of internships at the Brothers of Blood for
such people, to start off their budding careers.

It's very important to me that I take an active role as a Philanthropist and do all that I can
while I am still here, In my thirties it has already dawned on me that the Rockstar life
that I used to live-out voraciously in my twenties is a youthful possession that is but a 
thing of the past, in my thirties, it is time for action.
Additionally as an Address to the recent incident with the Biker Gang, I would like to state
that I was spending the day out with a dear friend of mine, inquiring to them about a 
possible internship at the Brothers of Blood, I was testing out a new program and I wanted
them to be apart of it's first stages. It was then that we were assaulted by a gang of Bikers
who made an attempt on our lives, I believe they wanted my money? Or had some type of grudge
against me for my past Rock career? Regardless I defended both myself, and my dear friend,
and fled the scene for safety. "

 

With the end of that speech, there is audio of audience clapping but no visuals before the video is cut.

The video shows a crowd of paparazzi and people trying to get batimir’s attention as he leaves the HQ of the Brothers of Blood organization located in LA. He hushes them and chooses people that start to raise their hand.


R: Is it true that you support white supremacy?

B: This is not true. As stated in the press release. We all hurt and bleed the same, in fact, I was recently assaulted by someone that believes in white supremacy.

R: On the CCTV, We saw you were fighting with some red spiked gloves, what was that about?

B: was actually a cosplay movie prop that was made by one of our prop makers. I will be releasing a photo/video of how it works. It simply functions as a pair of spiked gloves. I brought it with me to show my dear friends.

R: Who was that lady in the CCTV? Was she a GF or any romantic interest to you?

B: She is no GF nor romantic partner of mine. She is more of a platonic friend that is great at her field in medicine. She was also one of the first for internships.

R: Will you be stopping your music career or will you be focusing more on your company?

B: I decided in my mid thirties, that I am way past my prime as a rockstar and musician. Now that I am at my age, I believe I should use my wealth to help with human conditions. I will not be stopping my music career but will be more of a side project. I will be focusing on more. 

B: I will not be answering any more questions as I must leave now.

Upon the sentence being said, the crowd gets rowdy again as Batimir proceeds to enter the car and leave.

Full Interview with Boise’s Superman, Leaked

(The following is a video taken on the camera of a smartphone outside of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. The video shows Mark Colins, in an interview with a reporter.)

R: "Will you protect people from other monsters Mark?!"

M: "I just want to do good, wherever I am. If there was a monster wrecking havok, putting people in danger like that kraken was, I'll do my best to rectify the situation and bring justice." He thumbs up to the reporter's camera.

M: "I'm *not* here to replace the police or the military- Only to help when and where I can. Just one hero of many." He smiles at the camera again, leaning in and down to let a kid next to him get a selfie.

R: "Will you work with the police or military? Or will you work alone?"

M: He thinks a moment, scratching his chin. "I'm not against the idea of working with people who need my help, and I intend to help them as much as I would anyone else- but I do not intent to be fighting for the loyalties of any specific organizations or colors on a geographic map, any more than I'd be willing to be hired as a bodyguard- I'm simply hoping to help people who need help- whatever the case may be."

R: "Do you have an friends you work with?"

M: He looks at the camera seriously a moment. "Not yet, but I'm not against the idea. I won't be doing interviews or anything, but- I'll have my eye out for others who want to make a difference. As far as current associates, not really."

R: "Did Bu Fang help you in defeating the kraken?"

M: "Certainly! He kept us all well-nourished with his hasselback taro roots and provided ample emotional support. He's a good man. Impressed me with what he could do with a dug up root and handful of edible grass." He smiles.

R: "Can you confirm or deny the rumor that he has supernatural abilities?"

M: "He's fast-handed for sure, and cooks like a machine- but what is 'supernatural' really? My doc says I'm a man with a disease. He's a Van Gogh  of cooking, for sure."

R: "What disease did your doctor say you had." The reporters voice sounds worried for Mark.

M: "A new form of gigantism, basically. At the very least, I intend to make the best of a bad situation."

*The crowd audibly swoons over the dramatic reveal, along with the cameraperson with the phone.*

R: "Are you going to be okay Mark? Do you know if it has any complications?"

M: "Not yet. I just take things day by day, like everyone else."

R: "Do you have anything you want to say to the other people out there who struggle with disease?"

M: "Follow your own path, and be mindful of your own capabilities and limits. Just because your sick, is no reason to let yourself be written off. No good deed is less or greater than any other, as long as you do your best. we can *all* make a difference in our own way. Everyone's got villians they have to face, even if they're not as cool or flashy as mine."

*The interview finishes and the reporter's camera shuts off, but the leaked video goes on to show Mark pulling the reporter to the side, and exchanging contact information as Colins mutters about a "bat signal" before it cuts off.*

Breaking News! Strange Secret Basement found in old lady's home in Phoenix, Arizona!

In the city of Phoenix, Arizona, an old lady that goes by the name of Jasmine Miller was discovered harboring a secret basement beneath her wine cellar. She is the former Co-Creator of JJ & Co., a local wine company that was purchased thirteen years ago by an unknown buyer. Various strange materials and ingredients were found in this basement, including many eyes, scales, preserved hands, and other unidentifiable substances and objects. The room itself was also protected by an unidentified incapacitating agent that would activate via tripwire. An investigation of the house itself reveals that she has already fled, not having appeared at her house in the past two days. Her current location is unknown and she is expected to be very dangerous. Citizens are advised to operate under the assumption that Miller is a threat to safety.

850 NEWS LIVE from the city of Pensacola, Forida.

--850-NEWS-850-NEWS-850-NEWS-850-NEWS-850-NEWS-850-NEWS-850-NEWS--

 

A young woman in a slick grey suit stands in front of the camera, her expression is a mix of concern and pity, she appears to be standing in a weather broadcast room though at her back is a gruesome sight – a seemingly disabled man in a wheelchair, his legs covered by a thick wool blanked which is stained in a dark red substance, an enormous gash open in his chest – four deep, fresh and still bleeding gashes spanning from the man’s collarbone to his lower ribcage, the wound is not unlike something one would sustain from surviving a bear mauling. 

By his side an athletic twenty something kid in a dark red bomber jacket. 

The woman speaks, her voice soft, calm, collected 
 

"850 NEWS, Alice Williams - In studio with us today are two witnesses alleged abuse, violation of human rights and illegal cartel dealings, talking about their harrowing experiences - they are wounded bleeding but unbroken, here to share with us for the first time on 850 NEWS 

 

The woman backs away from the camera, approaching the man in the wheelchair and extends the microphone towards him without another word 

Despite the man being severely injured and obviously exhausted he speaks firmly, with all the conviction of an experienced orator, each word appearing heartfelt and genuine.

The speech is about Caucasian male in their sixties with white hair and a beard who allegedly goes by “Jules” and the people under their command, some reportedly willing and others forced into servitude under duress. 

Jules” is said to have dragged the speaker and countless others into this reality from a parallel one against their will, the speaker is said to have been kept in a “cage” like a wild animal to guard a “hoard of treasure” for two months before making his daring escape from the mansion at Devil’s Point – a location where “Jules” commits art fraud and coerces other "monsters" into working with them all with the backing of multiple criminal organization all of which they are allegedly double crossing. 

Jules” is said to be a supernatural being able to alter their appearance at will, choosing at one point to appear as a woman for an extended period of time. 

The reporter shifts her attention to the younger man present in the studio 


 
Would you like to share your side of the story or perhaps affirm any of the points that have been made thus far? 


 
The young man steps up to the microphone, rolling his shoulders before speaking – his voice deep, his conduct slightly nervous be it out of fear, excitement or something else entirely is impossible to say. 
 


Yeah uh, this guy tried assaulting me and some of my friends, he had his gang of two goons together with him, they put their hands on us and we had to defend ourselves, it was scary man, I have a picture as proof. 

 

The young man is ushered towards the camera where he produces a picture matching the description of “Jules” from earlier with a young, short woman standing by his side, seemingly exchanging words. 

The interviewer shifts her attention back to the man in the wheelchair who proceeds to give the descriptions of two more individuals, the first one matches the woman from the picture 

She is said to be an android who goes by Mary Alice and is said to possess supernatural healing abilities, able to cure the most severe of wounds and ailments with a mere touch, though Jules is allegedly keeping her “all to himself” 

The speaker also describes a middle-aged Asian male who goes by “Bu Fang” and is alleged to be able to create exquisite magically imbued dishes. 

The man finishes his thought, takes a beat to breathe in then continues in a solemn tone 

 

 
As a warning to anyone else who might not be what they appear, Jules changes people, breaks them and makes them into monsters, he enslaves us, treats us like animals - he did this to me"  

 

 

The speaker breaths out once again, yanking his wool blanket away to reveal a snake tail starting at his hips and snaking all the way up wrapping around his own torso. 

The tail uncoils and gently lowers itself onto the ground, it’s tip swaying passivley like that of a rattlesnake.
The young man recoils back shuffling out of the view of the camera, followed by a surprised shout" 
 


WOAH WHAT THE FUCK DUDE” 

 

The reporter looks momentarily stunned, almost at a loss for words when the thing in the wheelchair continues. 
 

 

 "I would like to end my statement with this - Monsters lives matter just like any other type of human - we're still human on the inside, i just hope that this world can understand that a monster is only a monster if they act like one, and some of us just wanna be safe so uh you know, monsters lives matter, right Kyle?"  
 


The speaker looks away from the camera for the first time, looking somewhere behind it.
From behind the camera, slightly off to the right a voice resounds, apprehensive, and muffled . 
 


"Uh yeah sure dude" 
 


 The speaker smiles warmly.

 

"Thanks Kyle"

https://www.reptilianthreatnow.org

 

THE REPTILOIDS ARE HERE!

The site presents a dark red heading on a solid black background, a single audio file is attached followed shortly below by a video file.

 

 

FOR YEARS NOW I HAVE PREACHED! I'D SCREAM MYSELF HOARSE FOR YOUR SAKE, ALL OF YOUR SAKE BROTHERS AND SISTERS, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!

 

The voice is that of an older man, hoarse and gravely, clearly unhinged though he speaks with the fiery reverence of a pastor preaching to their flock.

 

"They walk among us brothers and sisters, disguised as normal everyday people! Firefighters, police officers, private eyes..."

 

The man lingers on the last part, practically hissing it out not unlike a reptile himself.

 

"...anyone one of the people you know and cherish might just be a cold blooded freak, harboring countless scales under their fleshy exterior, and they dream of getting you the second you give them a chance, the second you blink or drop your guard, stay vigilant humanity, stay ready!"

But nobody believed me, NOBODY LISTENED, "Oh poor ol' Pete, he's harmless just not all there, don't mind him" THEY WOULD REPEAT AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF... MANTRA, THEY WOULD REPEAT IT WITH RELIGIOUS DOGMATISM OVER AND OVER EVERY TIME THEY PASSED BY ME TRYING TO SPREAD TRUTH TO YOU SHEEP!

WELL I KNOW WHY NOW, I WAS ALWAYS RIGHT, THOSE SLIMY LIZARD BRAIN MOTHERFUCKERS THOUGHT THEY COULD BREAK ME, MAKE ME DOUBT MYSELF, WHITTLE ME DOWN WITH THEIR UNENDING MOCKERY, BUT LOOK WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!

 

...not all there... not all there... not all there...

 

The man mutters under his breath, repeating it over and over again sounding almost hurt.

 

BUT GUESS WHO'S NOT ALL THERE NOW YOU SCALY FUCKS?! I HAVE PROOF RIGHT HERE RIGHT HERE RIGHT HERE RIGHT HERE I HAVE IT MY HANDS AND I WILL EXPOSE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, THE WORLD WILL KNOW, ANYONE WHO'S WILLING TO OPEN THEIR EYES AND JUST LOOK WILL SEE THE TRUTH AS I DELIVER IT TO THEM!

 

His tone suddenly turns warm and remorseful.

 

But for those who don't... oh you poor sods i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry sorry... it might just be too late to save you... the brain wave redactors have gotten to you, melted your gray matter while you slept yes they did... you didn't heed old Pete when he told you that tin foil blocks their primitive tech, but you laughed at him and pointed fingers, mocked him yes you did... But I forgive you for I love you, may god have mercy on your souls.

 

 

The low quality video below depicts a chaotic scene unraveling in what looks to be a bar of some kind, the cameraman's hands are shaking violently as he gibbers something incomprehensive from behind the camera in an equally terrified and excited tone, this appears to be the same man from the audio file above.

The video appears to be shot from the corner of the room, encompassing the entirety of the scene with ease due to the cameraman's placement

An altercation appears to be taking place by the entrance, a mousy and lanky man wearing a black jacket is backpedaling towards the exit, very apparently ready to draw his sidearm whilst locked in what appears to be a verbal confrontation with a one armed man in a trench coat, all the while the bartender shoulders a double barrel shotgun, confusedly looking between the two.

As the three exchange words the situation seems to be slowly deescalating though the exact nature of what's being said is largely unintelligible due to a horrendous racket - the sounds of someone obnoxiously revving a vehicle of some kind just outside while "Proud to be an American" plays, loud enough to vibrate the windows of the bar, accompanied by less than pleasant off pitch yelling of the lyrics.

As the man in the black jacket nears the exit another aggressor enters the scene, a large tattooed dark skinned man easily recognizable as Icarus Lockheart, a famous actor.

Icarus places the retreating man in a choke hold without any visible physical provocation from the side of the latter, followed by a subdued gunshot and a muzzle flash right by the man's ear.

The man in the black jacket proceeds to slip out of Icaruse's grip and drawing his sidearm at lightning speed places it up against his assailant's gut and lets off four muffled shots, followed by a spray of blood across the room.

Chaos and pandemonium erutps shortly after, people start screaming and flipping over tables, some drawing sidearms of their own.

Before the man in the black jacket can do anything else the one armed man wearing a trench coat dashes past him towards the exit, though as he pushes past his eyes flash briefly and an arch of lightning shoots out of his forehead, frying the man in the black coat, locking his muscles and sending him clattering to the ground as he convulses.

Another man wearing a Kevlar vest enters the scene yelling about needing to help the poor sod on the ground and drags the paralyzed man away.

The cameraman continues filming, and just before the group makes their exit the trench coat man shoots the camera one hard gaze before disappearing outside.

Mark Collins Seriously Injured Rescuing Island from Kraken!

Mark Collins, recently-confirmed superhuman who has been missing for the past 5 months, has been found on an isolated, previously-undiscovered island off the pacific coast. He, along with 163 islanders and chinese chef Bu Fang, have been rescued from the island.

The islanders credit Mark Collins and Bu Fang with rescuing them from a monstrous "kraken" that had been holding the island hostage for some time. During the fight, Mark Collins allegedly wielded a giant metal fishook that he had created from an ancient shipwreck. Also, according to eyewitnesses, Bu Fang demonstrated superhuman abilities, although he denies these claims. 

"The islanders must be confused," says Bu. "I just threw a flare into the water. Mark did everything. I just watched." 

Due to the lack of video cameras, none of these claims can be truly confirmed. However, eyewitness accounts all agree that Mark demonstrated superhuman strength in destroying the monster. Pieces of a large, unidentified squid-like creature were recorvered near the island. 

Boise's Superman Mark Collins is recovering in a hospital in Dallas, Texas. Meanwhile, media around the world has picked up this story, and a hoard of people are gathering outside the hospital for a chance to meet a real-life superhero. 

 

After becoming a media sensation for rescuing a bachlorette party from certain death by dragging their limo away from a ledge, Mark Collins completely disappeared. About half of media-aware humans have now heard of Mark Collins and many know his face.

Mark Collins: Boise's Very own Superman?

At least seven seperate videos of Boise Idaho construction worker Mark Collins have been going viral on social media. These videos-- which were posted to CryptoLeak-- show Mark Collins rescuing a bachlorette party from certain death by dragging their limousine away from a cliff. 

Given the number of eye witnesses, various camera angles, and paper trail evidence, Scientists, debunkers, and the general public generally agree that this is a confirmed Illumination: Mark Collins possesses superhuman strength. 

Immediately after the event, Mark Collins disappeared and has not been seen since. He has stopped showing up for work and paying rent, and there have been no credible, confirmed sightings of him since (though many unconfirmed sightings have been made). And of course a government investigation, as well as many private investigations, have been launched to locate Mark, as well as to explain his incredible powers. 

T-shirts and merchandise for "Boise's Superman," Mark Collins have been selling like hotcakes, and Boise Mayor Linda Mackentire has proposed erecting a statue in his honor. "Mark Collins will always have a home in Boise," she recently said in a statement.

Archbishop Vasquez of San Francisco nominates Sister Mary Catherine to Sainthood

Flying in the face of tradition, Archibishop Vasquez has defied the typical five-year posthumous waiting period and nominated recently-deceased Sister Mary Catherine for sainthood. 

 

Sister Mary Catherine was recently found dead inside an abandoned pet store, her body partially consumed by what officials suspect were rabid animals. 

 

Archbishop Vasquez has posted several videos of Sister Mary Cathering performing healing miracles to CryptoLeak. In the videos, she can be seen experiencing stigmata and performing a laying of hands that is credited with curing chronic illnesses such as cancer. These cases were documented, and doctors have confirmed that their patients seem to have been cured, although no scientists witnessed these miracles. 

 

A massive populist following has formed for Sister Mary Catherine, especially in the Catholic communities worldwide. Her canonicalization seems very likely.

Breaking News at the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse


    James Barton, 36, has been arrested, charged with multiple counts of murder, mutilation of a corpse, burglary, and trespassing, after a citizen's arrest and his trial is underway. His family has detained Alan Dershowitz as counsel. Dershowitz is known for taking on high-profile and often unpopular cases and clients, and has won 19 of the 21 murder and attempted murder cases he has taken on as a criminal appellate lawyer.


    Police believe Barton picked victims at random, waiting till an opportune moment to approach and murder the victims scattered around the state. Victims have been identified as Micheal Stepinac (33, Woodstock) Hailey Jeffries (22, Tuscaloosa), Derek Smythe (48, Hitop) , Aaron Abbot (29, Birmingham), Elizabeth Evans (19, Anniston), Grace Marie Elois (27, Huntsville), Marie Sheilhamer, (16, Mobile) and Edward Pyle (71, Northport)


    The defense seems two-fold, focusing on James Barton's rapidly deteriorating  mental state from a head injury during a violent mugging 3 years ago, and sowing doubt on credibility of evidence submitted by casting doubt on the citizens performing said arrest- enhanced greatly when Barton's foreman and other witnesses of the arrestat JD Lumber  testified the arresting citizens used multiple Unnatural Abilities during the apprehension.
We go now to our reporter at the courthouse, where the police and counsel are about to hold a press release.

 


(Camera shows a crowd of people at the courthouse- a small podium surrounded with mics, and a crowd of reporters. Further back, police hold back the public- some of which hold signs that say "FREE JAMES" and "CLEANSE ALABAMA OF WITCHCRAFT" and "UNNATURAL OPPRESSES THE NATURAL", and there is also a counter protest, an unidentified organization in camo and masks, seemingly in favor of the citizens arrest.)

 

A suited representative of the ABI steps up to the mic,"Let me take this moment to thank our officers, citizens, and Dr Keller at the medical examiners office for their faith and determination in helping solve this case. This isn't likely to be a quick trial, though we are faithful justice will be delivered swiftly. Due to the excessive brutality of this case, the DA's office is seeking 9 consecutive life sentences. Thanks to the quick work of our staffed psychologist, Barton has calmed down a bit and seems cooperative thanks to medication- we were able to remove his muzzle in order to let him testify in his own behalf."


A reporter yells out "What do you know about that name 'Azaghel' he was screaming about the first day?" 


"We have no reason to believe 'Azaghel' is a genuine threat at this time. Morton was likely just a very sick man, but justice must be served. Any other questions?"


    Over the yelling reporters, 4 gunshots ring out from the direction of the courthouse.and the crowd immediately reacts, most running away but a few running towards it with cameras. The camera view slumps to the ground as the cameraman flees, and the live feed is cut, now showing the studio again, the news announcer's shocked faces."We seem to be having an actively developing situation." the woman says, a visible look of shock on her face.


She holds her earpiece in her ear, clearly listening before saying, stunned-"James Barton has been shot in the courthouse in cold blood. The killer was cooperative, immediately dropping his weapon. It seems he grabbed the bailiff's gun, and fired off four shots, all four hitting Barton- 3 in the torso and one in the head. I repeat, James Barton is dead." She grows silent, listening, before adding: "The shooter self-identified as Hank Jeffries on the scene. Witnesses claim he proudly announced 'This is for Hailey, you sick f'(a beeping censor cuts off the end of the word) as he pulled the trigger four times,followed by immediately dropping his weapon and putting his hands behind his head."She looks at her cards, before smiling cheerfully. "Thats all the time we have for today, Tune in at 9 for more updates on this developing story."

Manhunt Continues for Conner Inkz; Artist Suspected In Brutal Killings, Kidnappings, and Arson

A nationwide manhunt is underway for the famous tattoo artist Conner Inkz, according to the FBI, as well as for Lily Foreman, his girlfriend and known accomplice.

Mr. Inkz is the primary suspect in a series of brutal killings which occured in Burley, Idaho just last week, as well as in the kidnapping of two girls who lived there.  According to the Burley Police Department, Mr. Inkz is responsible for inciting a riot during which he killed several people including three police officers, and set the county courthouse ablaze.  He later killed a police officer and two prison guards while escaping custody.

"His guilt is clear," said police spokesperson Dana Moorehouse during a press conference shortly after the killings. "There are multiple witnesses to the riot and footage of the prison break.  We are confident in a conviction if we are able to ascertain his location."

Police refused to release the video evidence, but anonymous hackers had posted it publicly on YouTube, and though it was eventually taken down, by then it had been copied and widely circulated.  The footage shows Mr. Inkz and Ms. Foreman being escorted into a cell block before turning the tables on the guard and officer, brutally beating them to death.

"It is unclear what involvement Ms. Foreman had in the riot incidents, but she is plainly responsible for the death of the prison guard, and is known to be romantically involved with Mr. Inkz as well." said Morehouse. "They are both known to be incredibly dangerous individuals, and should not be approached by civilians."

The FBI got involved on Friday, placing Inkz and Foreman on their well-known list of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, and setting up a special hotline for tips.  They have promised a $50,000 reward for any information which leads to the arrest of Mr. Inkz.

According to FBI spokesperson Linsday Gold, "If you see something, say something.  Mr. Inkz and Ms. Foreman are highly dangerous and on the run, and it is imperative that we are able to catch up to them.  Do not hesitate to contact local law enforcement as well as reach out to our tip line as soon as possible if you have any indication of their whereabouts."

Local police have also circulated descriptions of the two missing women, Abby Hobbes and Dorothy Childs. "We believe that the two women are victims of kidnapping and are likely to be in the custody of Mr. Inkz at this time."  Moorehouse said that they were last seen being carried away from the riot by Inkz, and have not been seen or heard from since.

Emperor Norton II Delivers Glowing Boba Endorsement

"Emperor" Norton II drew a crowd outside of  San Francisco boba tea shop Bobasaurus tonight. His speech is partially recorded and has been widely shared.

 

A cell phone video of a man in flamboyant imperial attire addresses a crowd outside of Bobasaurus:

"So do we declare that in perpetuity that this Boba Cafe is, as of today, the true & recognized Imperial Boba Cafe of the City of San Francisco. To the seventh generation, so to that this Boba Cafe will pass to it's relatives until that glorious day, serving all the citizens of the City & the Imperial States of the Union..."

 

Bobasaurus itself is enjoying a healthy boom in business, though its signature tapioca pearls have run out for the time being.

OOC Announcement

Hello residents of Illumination, this is just an OOC announcement to adress a few points concerning the illumination that I dont think have been getting across through the fault of the people managing the cell.
      First of all although supernatural happenings occur in the illumination the general public still is adjusting to it, witches are not just hanging out in bars and werewolves aren't driving cabs about in London. Therefore it is reasonable to assume most first time contractors may be taken aback by supernatural, and most NPC's likely should be as well.
      Second thing I would like to go over is some of the major influentail effects the Nagasaki event had over the world just to get things clear. Main point being the massive movement of xenophobic and anti-supernatural behavior the world is engaging in. The majority of the human population have negative attitude towards supernatural and generally will stay away and potentially show violence towards obviously supernatural contrators and the likes. One of the collosal results of this which should always be roleplayed in when it comes up is the outlawing of supernatural beings and objects within the country of Japan, the people of Japan didnt respond to kindly to the cultish massacre and the use of "magic" was outlawed
      Thanks for the understanding and Apologies things got a little confusing, I hope this clears up some of the main problems and idea that needed to be communicated.

Nagasaki Massacare!

Yesterday At around midnight the City of Nagasaki was awoken to quite the scare. An enormous number of people, estimated at around 30k-40k began massacring the city, using lethel force such as firearms where they could be found, but also improvised weapons senselessly killing residents of the city. People would also be ceromoniously burned while the killers chanted about a being known as Adora. Experts have deemed the killers as a fanatical religeous group or "Cult" and the event a mass sacrifice to their assumed diety Adora. The massacre claimed around 350k lives. U.S. Forces in military bases around Nagasaki mobilized as the event began but simply couldnt respond to the efficiency and brutality of the group who dispersed very quickly before the military could effectivly respond. Many Xenophobic and anti-occult Rallys and protests around the world in response to the event putting pressure on governments around the world to clamp down on supernatural activity related to the illumination. 

(On an OOC note please diregard the last posted Nagasaki event)

Gang Members get in Shootout with Firefighters

The White Scarf's hideout, an apartment building in the middle of San Jose, was set on fire by a currently unfound arsonist, right next to an investigation for a hit and run. When Firefighters arrived at the scene, the gang opened fire on the firefighters and the cops. All of the gang members burned in the building, 5 police officers and 3 fire fighters died as a result of the shootout.

This lead police to connect the Hit and Run and Arson with the alarm at Platinum Bank next door, where it was revealed to the public that former CEO Rupert Carlson had a secret room with an exit leading to the sewers, and lead straight into the vault. The secret room had some form of item, but whatever it was, it was stolen in the chaos. Two cops witnessed a man running from the scene, but they said that the man tripped then exploded. Examination of the body shows that the man had attached C4 to his chest, and immediately exploded when he inadvertently turned it on. Nobody knows the man's motivations, or what he stole, but we will never find out.

Included with the post is evidence exposing The Scarlet Claws including their buisness transactions with Ultor.Co and the names of high brass member of the company who were complicit in the deal, as well as all information on William Murdoch including his social media posts, voice and video recordings of his rampage throughout the town that depicts him firing multiple magazines worth of ammunition down upon the union and the mercenaries alike from a vantage point on a roof of a residential building, taking all of them down in a bloody display of savagery and carnage, furthermore there are pictures of the armored vehicle and the variety of weapons he owns.

Suspected Plane Hijacker Killed in Court

This is a CNN special report. 

Earlier today, suspected plane hijacker Amaryllis (Amy) Fleischer attempted to escape during a court hearing. She was shot and pronounced dead on scene. Be warned: the following video contains graphic content. 

The video shows Amy in some sort of courtroom, dressed in orange, eyeliner streaked from crying. The Judge bangs her gravel, and a pair of corrections officers come to take her away. Just as they grab a hold of her, a spike of blood shoots from Amy's wrist through an officer's chest. First one, then the other. Someone screams. Amy sends a third spike through the handcuffs securing her hands and feet, then makes a break for it. She makes it halfway to the door before a rattling of gunfire rings out and she collapses. Several officers surround her prone body, pointing guns. A pool of blood forms underneath her, quickly growing and flowing down the aisle.

A harrowing closure to the terrifying ordeal of the passengers aboard hijacked flight UA1670.

Plane Hijacked

Earlier today, flight UA1670 was hijacked by a black-haired witch. Viral footage shows suspect Amaryllis Fleischer using some sort of blood magic weapon to injure an Air Marshal and assault a good Samaritan monster hunter. The monster hunter died at the scene and was the only fatality of the incident. All other passengers are now recovered and free.

 

Eyewitness reports indicate that that she was attempting to protect a monstrous dog. No such dog appears in the footage. However, many individuals are seen interacting with and reacting to the “dog,” leading experts to believe that it was either an illusion or simply does not appear in recorded footage as a result of its supernatural origin. 

 

The suspected hijackers: Amy Fleischer and a man known only as “Walter” were arrested when the plane landed and are currently being held in a Honolulu prison.

 

Double Trouble: Passengers of Hijacked Plane Duplicates?

Reports are emerging that all passengers of the hijacked plane are already people that exist. The "original" passengers are all safe at their homes and had all considered going to Hawaii but made other plans for one reason or another. None of the duplicates are being held or charged with any crime. 

 

"It's really weird to meet yourself," says Sally Emerson, a passnger. "We're trying to figure out where to go from here." 

 

No one is sure why or how this has happened, but considering the recent crashed plane, it appears something very strange is going on with flight UA1670. United Airlines has stated that they are cancelling the route out of an excess of caution.

Confirmation on Disappearances of people due to the Dinosaur have been found after an endoscopy on its digestive tract, discovering human remains, as well as much local aquatic life found in Loch Ness although few and erratic still occuring at least annually, mainly during the winter when food is assumedly lacking

The Head researcher, Travis Thomson, recently sold the Dinosaur to the Georgia aquarium in the US ,where they plan on creating an exhibit for it, to continue the funding of research of this prehistoric creature, and where it came from hoping to uncover the mysteries from the depths.

BREAKING: Doubts raised over the fate of those in the Hawaii crash

This is a KITV breaking report.  PLEASE DISREGARD EARLIER REPORTS OF DOWNED AIRPLANE. 

 

Earlier today, a KITV report aired announcing the crash of United airlines flight UA1670. However, KITV never issued this report, and the author named in the byline has confirmed that they did not write it. 

 

That said, our on-the-scene reporters have confirmed the appearance of a crashed plane consistent on the northern coast of Oahu that appears consistent with the original report. The carnage of the wreckage indicates that several hundred passengers did indeed perish in the crash. However, many of those named in the original report have reached out to KITV to confirm that they are not, in fact, dead. United Airlines has issued a statement asserting that all of their flights are present and accounted for. 

 

The orgin of the erroneous news report, the airplane, and the unfortunate passengers aboard remains a mystery.

 

Before the United States government secured the scene of the crash, a first responder claims he was able to personally identify at least one of the bodies in the wreckage. "It was my sister, Emily! She's family, dammit. I'd recognize her face anywhere. It was her. But Emily is still alive. As soon as she saw the report, she called me, and we're together now. I don't know what happened. . . I'm still in shock. None of this feels real to me." 

 

The US Government is reaching out to those reported killed and scheduling interviews for more information. If you or a loved one was named in the original report, please call the number on your screen.
