- Forum Post Captures Striking Photo and Lots of Attention: A New Breed of Darkness Ooze?
DarkWatch, a popular NetVice forum for Darkness daredevils and aficionados of monster identification, is often filled with tall tales and bragging rights about ‘that one time out after siren’. Forum participants typically include a colorful collection of Darwin Wannabes, Unitology Fellowship recruiters, conspiracy theorists and lower-ranking SERO scientists, each with varying takes on our world outside after sirens. If you’ve lost a loved one to the darkness, and want a variety of useless information to console you, or maybe just to incite a flame war of debate for distraction, it’s long been known as the place to go for pseudo-scientific and experiential exchange of information about the Darkness.
Sightings of new monsters, still unconfirmed by bestiary ‘expert’ Darwin Watts, include a giant humanoid centipede, ghostly white humanoid figures in zippered unitards, and a ooze-type, apparently composed of bloody remains, which has been dubbed "Bloody Mary" by some "Viscera" by others. 1st-person accounts of sightings claim it might be a mutation or hybrid of the "8-Hour Death", with glowing eyes and a sludgy body.
After the Portside Lumberjacks lost their star player this week, speculative posts garnered some attention from fans and local media, including some sports gamblers who are now taking wagers for how the quarterback may re-emerge through darkness corruption. So far, nothing resembling a mauled footballer has been encountered.
- The Show Must Go On as Felton Performers Storm Out: Opening Night Ruined?
The Answer, the new rock opera being performed at the Felton Theater, is in a great deal of trouble. Opening night is on December 1st and just yesterday all of the lead actors - a group of five singers and three other supporting roles - stormed out. When the actors were found getting coffee a few blocks away, only a few of them wanted to speak.
The lead actress, Chelsea Moore, said that they were being pushed to rehearse for hours on end without breaks, and when they attempted to ask for an hour or two to get food, the director shrieked at them. "It was horrible," she said. "I've been in plays ever since I was in elementary school but even the teachers who directed us weren't so harsh."
"All he does is insult us," Pat Emerson, the male lead, said. "We're not good enough to realize the genius of what he's created...or so he says."
Michael Angelo Felton, grandson of the owner of the theater, was seen crowing after them in a fit of rage. "How unprofessional!" he sniffed. "How dare they do this to me?" He huffed and grumbled for several minutes. When asked how he would accommodate for the lack of performers, he waved his hand dismissively and turned up his nose. "I'll need to take my chances with the common drivel! I might even have to resort to asking Newcomers to understudy (yes, I suppose there are a few strong voices in the chorus-). But, rest assured, the ones who walked out today will never get another job in this industry once my grandfather hears of this!"
