When you wake up in the morning, you'll find this by your front door (or you'll hear it being delivered if you're still up at the wee hours of the morning). It looks like a transparent, plastic board, about the size of an 8 x 10 photograph. You'll receive one of these every Monday morning. These plastic boards are all recyclable-- just throw them in your garbage disposal and you're golden.
There's a blinking touch-screen button. If you press it, you'll receive the following feed:

The Visitors
About two weeks ago, Aliunde had a massive influx of visitors. It was hard to go unnoticed. Our city was in no way prepared to handle such a large amount of people, but it handled the situation quite well. After speaking to the Head Nurse in the hospital, she states that the “massive amount of ‘visitors’ was due to a malfunctioning teleportation platform,” and that “everything has been fixed, and should not happen again.” She also gives her thanks for being patient with the visitors while the problem was being fixed.
Though the city did not suffer as much damage as expected, there are still areas that are in need of repair. Please be aware that these areas will be blocked off from the public and will be guarded by Security Androids until repairs have been completed.
Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn!
As many of you may have noticed, there has been a significant change in the weather. It’s time to put away those shorts and sundresses, and trade them in for some jackets and sweaters. Hopefully each and every one of you enjoyed the warm weather the city had to offer, as well as the annual Summer Carnival that was held back in August.
You can be rest assured the city life during the autumn months will not disappoint! For the children, there are Halloween/autumn-oriented activities held in the park daily, which include pumpkin painting/carving, make-your-own scarecrows, and mask-making. Other activities throughout the city include an Autumn Bake Sale in the Market District, featuring homemade sweets and desserts, a Fall Wine Tasting that will be held in the Park, as well as a Haunted House that will be sure to scare you out of your wits.
