Breaking News - Teatro Quarantine Sun Jan 10 FennecFox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just after 7am Emergency Services were called to the building housing the
Teatro di Sofferenza BDSM club and a hotel.
Panicked guests of the hotel reported staff coughing up liquid and
collapsing. Reports indicate that this is a wide scale event in the building.
The CDC has been mobilized and has put the building on quarantine and the
guests staying in it have been put in isolation while they investigate the
source of this outbreak. Estimates place the current death toll in the
dozens. CDC Officials request that anyone encountering someone exhibiting
signs of coughing up clear liquid with green fibrous material in it to stay
clear and call 911.
We will follow up with any further information as it becomes available.
((Any desire to look into this or such can be submitted to Staff by +request.))

Teatro CDC Update Sun Jan 10 FennecFox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* See +bbread 12/377 for the original incident*
Around mid day the CDC announces that there is a blood born pathogen
found at the Teatro and request anyone that has been there in the last day or
so to come in for a screening. The pathogen transmits through blood and
anyone sharing needles, engaging in 'blood play' or being exposed to blood
from Teatro staff or club goers should seek immediate medical attention.
Around 7pm at night a new Press Conference is called. CDC Scientists have
created a cure. Blood tests of individuals not on location at the time of the
event and the hotel guests have shown no presence of the pathogen. Further
tests are being carried out to find the source.

Late Night Radio- The CDC Sun Jan 10 Deb of Night
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thank you caller, this is Deb. And your on Deb of Night", a luscious
voice rings out. "Hi Deb, I just wanted to tell you. Tell the world. I got
the the latest scoop. And the world needs to wake up. Wake up, I tell you.
Did you hear what happened at that BDSM club? About all the people dying and
the blood born pathogen? Well it makes complete sense that the CDC would show
up. I mean, thats there job, Deb. But they cured and solved the whole thing
in a matter of hours? Hours Deb! Am I the only one who thinks this is a
government cover up? Someone say conspiracy with me! I mean, you have viruses
like AIDS and HIV, and even things like Ebola. Which have still yet to be
cured, after years of research. Years! And something brand new and deadly is
cured in hours? Your joking right? You know what I think really happened, it
had to be the military in conjunction with the CDC. Someone important from a
different planet had to be killed, so they created a space virus and killed a
bunch of normal people in the process and then covered it up. The military is
controlled by Aliens and we are in a secret war with extraterrestrials from
another galaxy Deb. There just isn't any other explanation. People need to
look into this, and pay attention. Anyone could be an alien! But I have to
run Deb...they are probably tracking me now! - Click", a small pause on the
radio. "Well thank you Gomez, your nightly intel is always most enlightening.
In the meantime, I'll be sure to stay in my office where it is nice and safe,
plus I have all the whips and chains I could ever need already. And to the
citizens of California, this is why I think its best to practice safe sex and
BDSM in the comfort of your own home. I like my evenings sterile and clean,
if you know what I mean. Up next one of our sponsors. O'Tooleys is having a
new special on the menu this month..."

Local Man Wakes up! Wed Jan 13 Segers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Local news bite lasting all of 30 seconds during the end of the
evening hour news:
Kelly Segers - local man age 23, awakens from a week long coma this afternoon.
He was the victim of a tragic car accident which took the life of two other
local men and placed Segers in long term care two weeks ago on state highway
15.
Segers was riding in the passenger side when a drunk driver jumped the
barrier between the two lanes on the I-15 and plowed into the oncoming car.
Killing the driver of Seger's car and the other driver instantly. Seger was
reported dead at the scene, but was managed to be revived once at a local
hospital.
Segers may be best known to locals in the music scene as bass player
in the Incubus cover band, "Wish You were Here", and as 2010 semi-finalist
for his local high school Academic Decatholan.
Police are still investigating the accident and have not released the
names of the other two men involved.

Zack Kora on the Rebound. Mon Jan 18 Martine
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Celebrity Gossip caught up with rich boy and stuntman for no reason Zack Kora.
Famous for being famous and stupid, Kora was back at it again this time with
the lovely librarian, Alisandra Moorcroft. Yes thats right the same little
snow bunny he had on his arm back in 2015. After yet another breakup with
Jenni Allen, we recall his dalliance with go go girl Cynthia Marks and the
parking lot brawl in front of Drais in Las Vegas. Well now it seems he is
back to rekindle the old flame with Moorcroft, the two of them spotted on a
little romantic shopping trip to Shaherazaad's Outdoor Market. When asked for
a photo op with Moorcroft, Zack refused and said it was better if she remains
a mystery. I'm sure Jenni Allen would disagree but not to fear. Celebrity
Gossip will always bring you the truth. Moorcroft must have really felt
special as Zack attempted to flee before any photographs could be taken.
Something to hide Mr. Kora? This reporter won't be surprised if he's dumped
Moorcroft again like a sack of potatoes by the time beach weather comes
around again. The talk show circuit always likes to talk about how hard
Zack's life is. Endless money and beautiful women throwing themselves at him.
Supermodel quality girlfriends who just keep swallowing their pride and
coming back? Some guys would drown their own family in the Pacific if they
could trade for that kind of life. Celebrity Gossip predicts a breakup with
Moorcroft in less than two months if track record is any indication of the
future. We are always left wondering what or who Zack Kora will be doing
next. Im Martine Sajani, and this.....is Celebrity Gossip.
A photo is included in the article of Zack and Alisandra. The way the two of
them are turned gets a pretty clear profile of Zack, but only a hint of
Alisandra, only enough to know that she's gorgeous. In the background are the
stalls of the open air market."

Teatro to be Demolished Mon Feb 08 FennecFox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bad news continues for this edgy club. During the investigation into
the deaths investigators discovered that Illegal Mexican Smuggling Tunnels
into the building had undermined its foundations. The resulting stress on the
strucure poses a danger to the entire city block should an earthquake strike
the region. Special demolitions crews will begin the process of colapsing the
building during this coming week.
When asked about the speed at which this project is moving Harold
Schubler with the Prospect Planning Commission assured us that plans for this
have been on display for the last month at their offices in City Hall.

City First Group Tue Feb 16 Melinda
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Already established in Oregon and Washington, City First Group has chosen
Prospect as it's pilot city for their California expansion. This
philanthropic organization is known for running shelters, drug treatment
programs, needle exchanges, and providing various medical services for
homeless, addicts, indigent, and various marginalized and at risk groups.
Workers have been seen performing significant renovations at two sites in
Prospect. The failing charity New Hope Sanctuary is being taken over and
rebranded. The charity also reached an agreement with both the city and the
squatters that had been occupying Abandoned Apartments Downtown. The
Abandoned Apartments are seeing significant renovations and are being brought
up to code.
Representatives from City First Group stated that they were working with the
squatters to both improve and legalize their living situation. City First
Group is attempting to perform their renovations in the least disruptive
manner possible, and are providing alternate housing solutions for those
temporarily displaced.
OOC: @mail or page me if you have any questions, particularly if you are
currently living in either of these locations. Soon both places will be
available in a Resources 0 situation. It is likely Abandoned Apartments will
have actual rooms you can have, while New Hope Sanctuary will generally be
more of an open unofficial room situation.

Viral Video Tue Mar 01 YouTube
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new video has recently gone viral depicting events at what's probably an
after-after party for the Oscars. The video takes place on the patio of
someone's cliffside villa, with the ocean (presumably -- it's hard to see
because it's so dark) stretching out below.
The video starts with Zack stripping off his shoes, coat, and shirt between
swigs from a bottle of champagne, while a number of voices alternately egg
him on and beg him not to do whatever he's getting ready to do. Then he jumps
onto the narrow railing that separates the edge of the patio from the long,
long drop to the ocean below, and capers along its length; once, he teases
everyone by pretending that he's about to fall, only to laugh when a couple
of women scream. Finally, he crows out: "Hold my champagne and watch this!",
tosses the bottle to someone off camera, and jumps. He twists and flips once
in the air before disappearing into the darkness.
People scream. ("OH MY GOD HE'S DEAD!") Someone yells to call 911. The picture
starts to bob and jostle wildly as the person who was holding the camera
starts to panic, and then the video cuts out.
It cuts back in again with a group of people running down the long switchback
of stairs to the private beach below the house. The beams of flashlights bob
haphazardly around; it's pretty clear that nobody here really wants to see
what they expect to find. Someone's light flashes across something sitting on
a rock just out of the water, then jerks back to settle on Zack, soaked to
the skin and wearing a shit-eating grin as he shades his eyes against the
light. "TELL ME you brought me a drink," he laughs.

Gossip Article Fri Mar 04 Sinthia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An article makes the rounds through typical forums of gossip, both in print and
online, concerning the activities of famed porn starlet Sinthia Black:
... For some months, Ms. Black has been touring the convention circuit and
holding signings for her published mini-memoir, "Everything I Wanted And
More." However, she also spent a long period of time out of the limelight
while filming a high budget production for her employer, Skinsense Ltd.
Sinthia has since been quoted as saying that, although she cannot disclose the
details of the movie, it was an invigorating effort which left her feeling
like a new woman. In fact, Ms. Black very much looks like a new woman in ways
words can't quite describe. Beautiful seems inadequate by about ten steps on
the ladder!
Sinthia's lips are sealed as to the secret of how she achieved such stunning
looks during the period of the movie shoot, but the change hasn't gone
unnoticed. Since her return to her surrogate home of Prospect, fans who only
tentatively approached her for autographs prior can't seem to stay away. Ms.
Black drew crowds when she made surprise stops at a few favorite clubs to
visit patrons and staff, being ferried about courtesy a Skinsense-owned
limousine equipped with two heavyweight gentlemen for her to drape her arms
upon.
Police sources have revealed that Ms. Black's tour around town evidently caused
at least two traffic collisions, all going on the record as having been
"distracted" by her. Asked for comment, Sinthia replied via email, "If you
had to have a menace to society, I can't think of one better than that."
Ms. Black is has settled back into her glamorous residence in the Mission Plaza
Tower, and it's expected that she will soon resume work in local films. She's
also taken an interest in the directoral aspect of the industry, and has even
hinted at being interested in purchasing a club or other venue in Hope
catering to the adult crowd.
Shortly after settling back in, an agent believed to be representing Ms. Black
placed employment advertisements for gentlemen with muscle (specifically, "as
much as we can get on one body"), in addition to bodyguarding and/or combat
experience. Other feelers have been extended into the areas of investment and
publicity. It just might be the case that Skinsense's most valuable asset is
looking to form an empire of her own!

Possible buyer for The Tower? Sun Mar 06 Taylor

Seems that someone has their eye on the remarkably average Tower club. A
tattooed blonde woman has been asking many of the patrons that still frequent
the place about their likes and dislikes, as well as their opinion if the
club might have a change of decor and theme. To add to this, there have been
real estate lawyers, as well as financial experts making inquiries into the
club's value who work for a holding company called Black Ink.

Rescue Tower One to be Reopened Sun Mar 06 Joey
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two story public saftey tower on Coronado Island has been dorment
since the fiscal crisis closed the doors on the public facility in 2005. A
private corporation recently acquired the land and quietly rebuilt the
facility from the inside out. Rescue Tower One (RTO) quietly reopened the
doors to the facility on this drizzling afternoon. Located in the Coronado
Ferry Landing, the tower will provide emergency services for the bay and open
waters, on contract with the City of Prospect, at a far more economical rate
than the city-run facilities previously operated on.
The reopening of Rescue Tower One has stirred renewed intrest in
revitalizing the quaint community of Cononado. The Ferry Landing is having
talked with the Port of Prospect to extablish regular ferry service once more
between the harbor and the island, allowing for pedestrian and bicycle
traffic to circumvent the long drive down through National City to reach the
island by car. In addition, the Coronado Yacht Club has reopened private
leasing options for mooring luxury boats, and residential vessels. Rumors of
a new five star restaraunt or night club moving into the old "Boathouse"
building are also being heard in the talk around town.

A Twitter post is going viral:
Danielle Parish @UCPDanni96 - Mar 15
OMG @_babycakezzz and I just saw #SimoneBlake & she's

Attached is a picture of Simone in Prospect Roasters, seated at a table with
city councilman Larry Dwyer (character name: uh, Larry). She's holding his
hands and looking sappy.
The ensuing commentary consists of a few congratulations, a lot of skepticism
about the veracity of the claim, arguments about who the man in the picture
is (a few people get it right), and a whole mountain of snark directed at
Simone. Much of it is poorly spelled. A particularly popular response is an
individual who says he has identified Simone's "fiance" and found a better
picture of him: it's a stock image of a Jack Daniels bottle.

Scandal! Thu Mar 24 Mindy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Lawyer of Mindy Rose called a press conference to make it clear that her
death was not a suicide, but rather that she was 'suicided.' While working
with the government, she came into posession of documents regarding a
half-a-billion dollar aid package she was working on. What was supposed to be
plane loads of food and medical supplies arriving in Syria turned out to be
plane loads of military-grade weapons.
Following the press conference a number of arrests were made. The most
prominent of which is the Wisconsin Republican Senator, as well as the entire
C-level employees of "Yummy Happy Healthy Organics," and most of their baord
of directors.
Yummy Happy Healthy Organics is a subsidiary of Pentex. A spokeswoman from
Pentex made it clear that the management of YHHO works independently of
Pentex, and that this is a shock to the multi-national conglomerate.
The stock of YHHO plummeted rapidly before being delisted. FBI and DEA agents
were seen outside of the offices of YHHO and many employees were leaving
either in tears or handcuffs.
The Senator's spokesperson said that "These allegations are patently
ridiculous." Two hours later he himself was indicted.

We often hear of crazed superfans stalking hollywood celebrities but not too
often of them harassing eachother. But thats exactly what has been going on
between Esme Lefevre, frontwoman for Seasons of the Witch, and Kirby Wallace,
champion of the Poker Circuit. Camera footage from The Dive bar and The Crypt
Nightclub shows Wallace committing acts of violence on seemingly random other
patrons before confronting the rock icon in a threatening mannner. In both
cases, security from the bar, Lefevre's private security and a veritable army
of concerned onlookers drove Wallace away from Lefevre. Lefevre's camp is
saying enough is enough and a restraining order has been filed against Kirby
Wallace for the rocker's protection. Lefevre herself was unavailable for
comment. Her security had the following to say. "It is not in Miss Lefevre's
best interest to be on camera at the present time as Miss Wallace is a local
and could gain some idea of the boss's whereabouts from the background of the
shot. This is something we want to avoid."

Recent Gang Violence Wed Mar 30 FennecFox

Continued gang violence in the Harbor District! People huddle in their homes
for fear of the rash of mass shootings! Last Thursday night at the corner of
Lincoln and Canary police responded to reports of shots being fired from a
passing vehicle. Mahud, who works at the Cash'n'Go across the street

"My friend, it was terrible! Bullets flying everywhere! It was one of
those drive by attacks. Three cars filled with men with guns! Just spraying
this group of thugs coming out of my cousin Farheed's Gulp'n'Go. How are we
supposed to do business in this!?"
This attack came right on the heels of a man walking into Paco's Tacos on Comet
and Harbor and opening fire. More innocents caught in the crossfire of this
gang violence and mass shootings that continue to rock our community. We
asked Assemblyman Bert Humphries about his thoughts on the matter:
"Well what do you expect with Mexico right across the border shipping
us all their killers and rapists?! Once President Trump is in office we'll
round up all this scum and put them to work building the wall. Once it's
done.. We'll throw them off onto the other side!"

shouting inteligibly. When he was finally questioned, his only words were,
"They didn't need their eyes anymore.. I saved them from their sight.. it was

to some dormant mental disorder, which may have been triggered suddenly. He
is being held in Prospect's most reputable asylum for observation. Police are

Tonight, on America's Most Haunted, Abatha Tilten and her crew visit what is
considered to be one of the Golden State's most haunted spots. Known by

Brody is the subject of the documentary "Brah Brody" and the feature film
"Locked In." The local urban legend, who was killed by a Great White shark
attack in 1998, is depicted as a lost and wandering spirit tied to the Cove's
plutonian shores. Interviews of locals recount strange incidents where
Brody's ghost seemingly provides protection or guidance. While others recall
more terrifying experiences, including nightmares, unexplained poltergeist
activity and possible possession, all attributed to the legendary phantom of

Naked Ex Lover stalks Simone Blake Thu Apr 14 Martine
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simone Blake Stalked by Naked Ex-Lover
A Prospect man was arrested on stalking and harassment charges today outside
the home of Councilman Larry Dwyer. The councilman, who has been seen at hot
spots around town with former pop sensation Simone Blake was unavailable for
comment. The stalker, identified as Jerry Haltom, is a student at Prospect
University. Celebrity Gossip Reporter, yours truly caught the entire event on
video.
Haltom followed Blake to Dwyer's home, stripped down naked in the
driveway and proceeded to profess his love for Simone Blake who hid inside
the councilman's home. Haltom actually attempted to enter the house by
running for the door with his considerably large penis flapping in the wind.
At least Simone Blake knows how to pick the right cut of meat. Dwyer gave
chase but instead tripped and fell all over himself on the driveway.
Fortunately Simone Blake was able to scare Haltom away from the house by
yelling at him. Pitter patter girls. Isn't Councilman Dwyer dreamy? Just goes
to show that politicians should leave the fisticuffs to real men. Fortunately
due to him falling on his ass in pursuit of Haltom, no charges can be pressed
against Dwyer.
Haltom was just one of Blake's boy toys who was screaming about how he
was tired of being her secret and wanted to be together with her forever.
Police arrived on scene and tackled Haltom to the ground. Blake claimed to
have no knowledge of Haltom prior to the incident. Because that makes sense
that a guy would come to your driveway and talk about how he doesn't want to
be your secret anymore and be with you forever if nothing has ever happened
between them.
Blake probably doesn't want to ruin her meal ticket in Councilman
Dwyer. Her music career is so far into the toilet that she was overheard
speaking on the phone at a local cafe taking money from a parent in exchange
for music lessons for their child. Considering Simone Blake's tanking music
career after her first album, this seems hardly surprising. Perhaps she needs
her own spending money above the allowance from Larry Dwyer so she can find
another Cabana Boy Du'jour or some coke for another binge or both. Needless
to say Haltom will not get his happily ever after and is now held in Prospect
Jail pending trial for stalking, harassment, and indecent exposure. I'm
Martine Sajani and this....is Celebrity Gossip.

are a distinct possibility for their CEO, CFO, and Board of Directors.

In a stroke of "luck" the lawyer of Mindy Rose, who broke the scandal was found
dead last night of an apparent heart attack. Men in suits were seen at his
office shrotly after the news of his death broke. They were removing

they don't isunclear.

Callahan's Curios Thu May 26 Malcolm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Late night (or perhaps early morning) between 3am and 4am, there's an
occasional commercial that runs on a local cable channel once each night.
Somebody shelled out a little money for a TV ad, but clearly not much. The
production value screams 'This is my high school AV class final project,' and
starts with a pretty young woman dressed in a green 'Callahan's Curios'
t-shirt and blue jeans, standing in some kind of antique shop.
"Are you looking for that special something you just can't find
anywhere else? Want to enter a realm of treasures and wonder? Come to
Callahan's Curios!" The camera cuts away to a broad chested man with a flat
countenance and similar dress. Holding a fashionable walking cane that
absolutely doesn't much his street clothes, he speaks in an emotionless
monotone. "I've got more antiques and curios than you can shake a stick at,"
Malcolm states emotionlessly with a half-hearted shake of the walking cane.
"If you want it, we've got it. If we don't have it, we can find it. And if we
can't find it, it doesn't exist. Come to Callahan's Curios... today." Spoken
with all the enthusiasm of a Church Bingo Night caller. The address and phone
number for the business appears on the screen along with some forgettable
jingle.

Bird Deaths Fri Jun 03 Simone
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beachgoers received a grisly surprise earlier this week when dozens of
dead seagulls fell out of the sky. State wildlife officials estimate that
about 150 birds died, and say they are still investigating the cause.
Kelly Fernandez, a spokesperson for the California Department of Fish
and Wildlife, says that the birds did not die from trauma, starvation, or bad
weather, all of which have caused mass bird kills in the past. She added that
there does not appear to be any human health threat. "Preliminary testing and
examination have ruled out diseases transmissable to humans, and most of the
common toxins we might expect. We're continuing to run tests, but right now,
we don't have any reason to believe the beach is contaminated."
Mass bird deaths are rare, but not unprecedented. In 2011,
approximately 5,000 blackbirds and starlings fell out of the Arkansas sky,
and another 500 died in Louisiana. The deaths were blamed on New Years
fireworks causing the birds to become disoriented.

As the investigation into the explosions in Prospect's harbor district unfolds,
the men and women of the Prospect Police Department are continuing to assist

One of the most difficult tasks for any law enforcement officer is making death

suffered devastating losses. Those relatives and friends have been kind and
gracious in a most unbearable time of grief.
PPD also would like to extend its deepest thanks to the many business owners on
Park Boulevard whose livelihoods have been disrupted as we methodically care
for the crime scene. And no amount of thanks is sufficient for the amazing
Prospect community that has rallied around our department and supported in
countless ways.

aftermath of this event. That number is (858) 555-5878.

Justin Deactivated Party Tue Aug 16 Maglock

Police reports were unsure what to make of reports of rampaging fans kicking a
sleeping Justin Beiber en masse outside of a Wal Mart at 2am this morning.
The number of fans varies by account of 5 to as much as 20. What is
consistant is that when police arrived after someone called the incident in
(the person never actually saw the victim's face) but all agree that the
crowd was so thick that by the time police pulled them back, there was no one
there. Prosecutors considered filing charges for a false report or mob
violence, but there was no victim to file charges.
Meanwhile, rumors of Beiber, not Michael J Fox, being the real anti Elvis are

for free from Doctors Without Offices and moved to the head of the line in a

Buddhist Treasures Go Missing Fri Oct 14 News Service
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An armored truck carrying antiques from San Francisco's Hua Zang Si temple was
found destroyed outside city limits last night in what may have been a
terrorist attack. The truck was transporting statues, sarcophagi and weapons
dating back to Japan's Heian period to an exhibition at the Prospect Museum
of Art. The missing drivers and the vehicle's condition, which was described
by responding officers as a "total loss", have lead police to suspect
terrorism may be involved.
"This is a tragedy," Eric Sykes, curator of the Prospect Museum of Art said,
"Most of these items are over one thousand years old. For them to be
destroyed like this is highly reminiscent of what the Taliban did to the
statues of Buddha in Bamiyan. It is possible that this was a symbolic attack."
Many of the objects being transported were originally brought over from Japan
in 1860 on the famous Kanrin Maru as gifts of good will, which were then
donated to the temple. The Hua Zang Si temple has expressed outrage over the
apparent attack but was unable to offer further comment at this time.

Infamous Grafitti Artists Strikes Wed Nov 02 Pythia

This likely made a 60 second blurb on the evening news and a writeup in the
local paper. If there is an Underground Newspaper there may have been more
detail about the artist's exploits in other cities. It can be seen on the
grid at 5th and Comet.
This mural appreared over night on the side of an unoccupied building that
would be clearly visible by commuters into the downtown area.
It is a professionally artistically rendered piece, in a signature
style that is a mixture of political cartoon and avant garde psychedelia.
Faces of political, religious, and cultural icons; each within their own
circle, are arranged in a spiraling pattern descending into a toilet.
Depicted are such persons as Donald Trump, The Pope, Osama bin Ladin, Castro,
Benjamin Netanyahu, Chris Matthews, Rush Limbaugh, Hillary Clinton, Mother
Theresa, Ghandi, Sally Strothers, Howard Stern, Scott Baio, Ted Nugent,
Michael Moore, Bill Gates, Gloria Steinem, Ariana Huffington, Ann Coulter,
Joe McCarthy, Malcolm X, Kim Jong Il...
Intermixed in the swirling, colorful background is some other imagery:
The chess pieces of a Black Bishop, and a White Rook. And the Tarot suits of
the Sword, Wand, Cup and Pentacle.
The caption, in bright red block letters reads: "Death To All Fanatics"
and the quote is attributed to: '-Some Fanatic'
In the lower right corner it is signed by "Pythia" The "t" in Pythia is
styled like an iron cross, but slightly different.

Another Street Painting Thu Nov 10 Pythia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The news again reports, offering little commentary other than speculation as to
what corporation or organization the artist may be targeting with her message
against invasions of privacy and advocatation of personal freedom. They also
mention the previous mural by the underground artist Pythia has been
senselessly defaced by unknown persons. Another painting has appeared, this
time at Lincoln and Ash.
This mural is painted on the side of the Transit Stop, very visible to all
passersby.
This painting is not so large as a full wall mural. It is about 12' x 8' and
done in a style much like a WW2 era Propaganda Poster. The style is still
signature political cartoon meets psychedelia but with a darker, more surreal
and imposing atmosphic quality.
The central figures are a young woman strapped to an old fashioned doctors
table with her feet and hands in shackles. She is dressed as if she were some
sort of airline stewardess with a little pillbox hat, and the expression on
her face is one of terror. On she table behind her are test tubes, and other
such lab equipment including urine sample beakers but they are turned upside
down.
The other figure is a man in a lab coat, with a maniacal expression on his face
and brandishing a comically HUGE syringe menacingly at the woman. His
features very much are reminiscent of Joseph Mengele, though the armband
around his bicep isnt a swastika, the emblem is in fact apparently purposely
blurred as if censored. Behind him there is a very old fashioned TV
screen/monitor on which is a faceless man in a suit jacket and tie, from the
chest up, seeing to be watching like the Orwellian 'Big Brother'. The flags
in the corner of the room are also obscured, as if they could be any nation
or organizations symbols. Their presence does indicate an imposing air of
authoritarianism. The background of the entire piece is dark and shadowy and
there are red streaks vertically, as if the 'camera lens' that the viewer is
seeing it through has been sprayed with blood and it is dripping down like a
curtain over this scene. There is a poster beside the TV screen in red white
and blue declaring "Trust But Verify", a clipboard on the countertop with the
heading "Need to Know Basis", and the overall caption at the bottom of the
cartoon saying :
"For the Greater Good, We Must Know All."
It would at least on the surface seem that the artist is making a statement
against drug testing, or more generally invasions of privacy by the
government in general.
It is signed by: Pythia.

Gangland Hit Leaves 2 Dead Tue Nov 15 News Reporter

Gangland Hit Leaves 2 Dead
Our next story is about Gang Violence. According to the F.B.I. Some 33,000
violent street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and prison gangs with about 1.4
million members are criminally active in the U.S. and Puerto Rico today. Many
are sophisticated and well organized; all use violence to control
neighborhoods and boost their illegal money-making activities, which include
robbery, drug and gun trafficking, prostitution and human trafficking, and
fraud. Many gang members continue to commit crimes even after being sent to
jail.
One such gang known as the Dark Angels Motorcycle Club, which FBI reports have
members stretching from California to Miami, lost their President and
Founder: Dwayne Vincent Angelica. The 34 year old Miami born male was a
suspect in numerous criminal acts, but police were never able to prosecute.
According to investigators, the Dark Angels Motorcycle Club were trying to
gain more influence within the city. Unfortunately, someone pushed back and
Mr. Angelica was found dead near his motorcycle which, like the victim, was
riddled with bullet holes. The other victim was Barry Johnston, a 26 year old
male from Miami, Florida and fellow member of the Motorcycle Club. He, too,
was shot to death. To make matters more gruesome, the President of the MC was
also found decapitated. The deaths occurred at F St. and Ash. St.
Investigators said that one officer, who wished to remain anonymous, stated
that it may have been symbolic to cutting the head off of the organization.
Police are expected to increase their activity in order to watch for further
retaliation.

34, of Prospect, passed away November 15, 2016.

Another Mysterious Mural Appears! Tue Nov 22 Pythia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commuters passing the area of Broadway and 4th reported the following discovery
on the side of a building that sits directly across from the Black Ridge
Building:
This mural seemed to magically appear on the side of the building.
It is another colorful, psychedelic piece measuring about 10 by 12. Those
familiar with recent works appearing in town will recognize the faces of the
earlier piece of work commonly referred to on the street as "Fanatics"
:Donald Trump, Fidel Castro, Osama bin Laden, Ted Nugent, Bill Gates, Ann
Coullter, etc. These figures are assembled like a mob, carrying pitchforks
and torches. Their faces are angry, murderous even, as they are focused on
the figure in the foreground.
And who are they chasing? Two pitiful figures are huddled together in the
foreground. Their clothes are torn, cuts and bruises indicating they've been
roughed up badly. On the left is a young man who is wearing a large metal
collar is around his neck, attached to a broken chain. He is holding an old
book. The painting on the cover of the book seems particularly odd, bolder
perhaps? As if its been carefully painted more than other parts of this
mural, though no title can be seen on the cover. The woman beside him
clutches him, looking back in horror at the advancing angry hoarde while the
man seems to be looking forward, hope and determination in his eyes.
In the distance behind the angry mod, a large tower burns in the night sky.
Its walls are cracked and crumbling, much like what is depicted in the Tower
card in Tarot decks.
At the bottom of the mural are the words: Not all who wander are lost.
In the lower left corner is the signature: Pythia. The "t" stylized in a
variation of an Iron Cross.

Yup, another bit of grafitti with the raven skull on it. This time the tag was

In Halls of aged stone

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
... Thank you for that wonderful piece. It's good to finally know why the
chicken crossed the road.
Next up in the news. Absolutely nothing happened at the Murder of Crows bar. I
repeat. Aboslutely nothing happened at the Murder of Crows bar.
And for our final story of the night.. Are puppies on Youtube brainwashing us?
We go over to Kim Rodger's for this report.
(( OOC: Any texts, pictures, videos or data related to the 'incident'
in Murder of Crows on the night 11/25/16 to 11/26/16 is gone if it was
connected to the world around it. Simply turned off isn't good enough as
nothing electronic is truly off. ))

Murder of Crows Reopened for busin Mon Dec 05 Stevie
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Murder of Crows is now reopened for business. The electronics have been fully
replaced and everything seems to be in working order.
The music played on a regular basis is typically -Rock and Country- music. One
can request a song, but no mosh pits will be allowed. If one begins to
encourage a mosh type atmosphere it is safe to assume that the bouncers break
it up. There are certain nights of the week set aside for "themes" these run
from 5pm to close and are the following:
Mondays: Metal Mondays - Bang your head to Pantera, Slayer, and all other sorts
of metal music.
Wednesdays: Whiskey Wednesdays - Top shelf whisky twenty five percent off. All
other whiskey is forty percent off.
Thursdays: Local Live Music - Usually a local rock or metal band. Otherwise,
80's cover artists tend to fill the roster.
Fridays: Karaoke Night - God help us. Drink and sing a song of your choice.
Saturdays: Country Night - Girls in tight jeans and cowboy boots meet with
country boys to drink, dance and be merry.
