[NEWS POST] [back dated to around 6pm today]
((ooc: This was broadcast today on the City's 6 o'clock news.))
[On screen are your standard teleprompter-reading, beautiful people news anchor. They're finishing up some boring business piece about how terrible the economy has been since the influx of imPorts, or something. After hmm-ing and ha-ing over how god awful everything seems, the two straighten up and paste on cheesy smiles.]
"We now go live to correspondent Trisha Takanawa -- Coming to us from the shores of the City, where pounds and pounds of fish bones have washed in from the Hudson River over the past two days…"
[The scene changes to show a middle aged Japanese woman in a conservative business suit. She's holding a wireless mic and standing on a beach, around her are lines of what almost seem to be tangle seaweed. Only, the color is off. As the camera moves closer, an observant viewer and see that it's actually piles of tiny bleached bones that have washed up in waves onto the beach.]
"Thanks, Tom.
Yes, the beaches of the City, which has in recent memory become home to several dozen superhuman, have been over run… With fish bones. They appear to be the skeletal remains of several varieties of fish native to the waters surrounding Manhattan Island. The cause of this curiosity is as of yet unknown, but one thing is for certain… The Chinatown fish markets will have to look elsewhere until this mystery is solved."
[And with that woefully inappropriate joke, the image switches back to the standard studio with the two cheeseball anchors. Just another day in the city.]
((ooc: The piranhas are officially here. Feel free to start spotting fish bones or birds disappearing into the water, if your characters are near the west side.))
