[The audio begins with a sputtering hiss before revealing three people in the middle of a conversation. The audio is a little quiet, like the communicator was placed somewhere nearby or on the ground. The voices can still be heard clearly if you listen. The Mayor's voice is familiar, but the other two are new..]

( It's about time.. )

[It happens suddenly, all at once the spell cast by Discord releases it's hold on the affected citizens of the city. Mayor may have been sneaky, but he kept his word, and fixed it. And now things are back to normal! ..Scratch that, it's never normal, but at least it's not Discord's fault anymore.]

[A few moments later, a video broadcast begins, and ( Read more... )

[Hey there, Ink City. In case you missed the memo, quite a few people present at the party (and even a few that weren't there!) have been turned into their costumes. The Mayor and his sister were among them, so he now stands before you in all his hideous, rainbow glory. The Painted Lady.. well, Monochrome Lady right now, is in the background, ( Read more... )

[Well, whattaya know! Mr. Oscar Mayor is back in town. He's not here to make any big announcement, in fact he's trying to keep relatively low-key..
There is a bit of a problem going on, though. But not for long! He just has to have a little talk with someone, get this sorted out.. and hopefully take something back that was stolen. No need to alert ( Read more... )

[The ground trembles in anticipation. The final shrieks of Audlings can be heard from the forest as they burn, their parent finally destroyed and reduced to a puddle. Paint and ink gushes up from the place where Audrey was once rooted, spewing more and more upward as the earthquake intensifies. A pillar of light shoots up from this conjunction ( Read more... )

[The Mayor looks up into the camera for a moment, brows furrowed in worry. Some citizens might not recognize him in this form, but his voice is the same. Ink monsters stand silently behind him, a few of them with bite-shaped holes in their dripping bodies.
The footage flickers and he takes in a deep breath. As he talks, he avoids eye contact with ( Read more... )

[When the destruction settles, some citizens may notice that things have gotten a bit monochrome. At first they’ll probably assume it to be a trick of the eyes; things that were bright are now pure white, things that were dark are now black and gray. But it’s quickly apparent that there is NO color, anywhere. This new black and white City is very ( Read more... )

[The video crackles on with a bit of static, revealing a rather fancy looking hotel foyer. Certain objects in the background look normal, but others blatantly stick out in the fact that they're monochromatic.
Floating in the center of the screen is a steadily spinning and churning blob of ink. It’s been a while, but here’s your friendly ( Read more... )

[There's been a slight change in the City since the events of the first forest expedition- and no, not just in the effects left behind on the survivors. It's been subtle- the occasional chirp of a distant bird, a sudden gust of wind, and the way that the sun, moon, clouds and starlight have been following a predictable, natural pattern. Something ( Read more... )
