Alright, Netherworld, it's twelve o'clock and time for another idiotic diversion the news!

Apparently some human holiday about tacos is tomorrow, and our very own Senator Horndog is for some reason up in arms about the lack of a Netherworldly plan to celebrate. It's unclear why--Netherworld Nightly News researchers are unable to locate a historical connection between this "Cinco de Mayo" and either free love or the opposite of free love, prostitutes. We're currently operating under the shocking assumption that the Senator's mind might have at least one another short, inobtrusive track. And now we go live to the Dark Assembly, where he's proposing a bill to his colleagues. Over to you, Same!



Thanks, Usagi. There really isn't much to say about what's going on here tonight; I'm just gonna be lazy and pan over to the actual proceedings, since suddenly we're allowed inside or something. Talk about plotholes.



We can't discriminate when it comes to holidays, you know what I mean, ese? Cinco de Mayo is when my favorite human country gained its independence. It's a day of patriotism and culutral pride! Also, if we celebrate it here in the Netherworld, I'll make all you guys some tacos. What do you say, ese?

[brief murmuring, vote starts...]



Hey, I can't see!



Well, what do you know! It seems Senator Horndog's pill passed. Man, this is stupid. Seriously, can't I even get a decent Photoshop job here? Oh, whatever. Wrap it up for us, Pleinair.



[Yes, we're having a Cinco de Mayo event. For the next week, everyone will be given a free (mandatory) sombrero and all the Mexican food they can eat. EDIT: If the characters attempt to take off their sombreros, then they will be smacked in the face by tacos. They are unavoidable and the sombreros will eventually force their way back onto the character's head.

There is an inconceivably enormous pinata hung in the main hall of Baal's castle. Feel free to destroy a segment of it and gorge yourself on candy.

Also on the pinata front are the animated ones--there will be life-sized, paper mache, candy-stuffed steer roaming the Netherworld for the week. These are harmless unless you challenge one to a bullfight. If you manage to avoid getting gored and defeat the bull, it will explode in a shower of candy and Hel and other random desirables. Knock yourself out.

The pinatas will disappear at event's end next Tuesday, but the sombreros and anything else you get out of it is yours to keep as a souvenir. Though the tacos and perishable candy will get nasty soon enough.]
