- The missing cabin cruiser from Gibson’s Boat Rentals returned to its dock yesterday, after successfully re-commandeering its internal navigation system. Having tested the outer limits of the island’s pull, the unidentified thief onboard was found unconscious, according to harbormaster Glen Gibson, presumably from the Pull’s extreme stresses on the body. In his brief contact with the man, Gibson noted that his eyes were open and "shiny, glowing up almost like a cat’s".
He phoned emergency services, presuming that the bald, body-sculpted man might be dead. SERO Hospital’s medical team arrived first at the scene, responding first to the dispatch, and hurrying the body away before SPPD and city coroners could arrive to confirm identity or the man’s condition. Police officials, press and SERO operatives played phone tag throughout the afternoon, trying to confirm status of the boat thief.
As is typical of restricted information out of SERO’s medical compound, news dribbled out in rumors and "we’re sorry, but...", releasing minimal updates to police with regard to "patient confidentiality" secured by SERO hospital’s expert legal teams. Meanwhile, investigators sought access to past records of night vision eye surgeries in hopes of identifying John Doe.
Later, shortly after evening siren, SERO finally confirmed the unknown man’s death, stating for formal record that the body had mysteriously vanished from their possession entirely, leading many to speculate that the boat thief may have been a newcomer, among those prone to come and go and reportedly even revive at random. The AGI media news source that printed this article seems to skeptically call SERO’s bluff, suggesting that SERO is again researching the effects of Pull on the body, utilizing conveniently suicidal criminals to do so.
- Several eyewitness accounts mention sightings of several Viscera in the subway stations during night train hours, predominately in sectors 4, 6 and 3. The Department of Transportation discusses the possibility of temporary rail shutdown if monsters are found on the tracks, including evacuation procedures. [OOC Plot Note!:At around 6pm, the subway line between Stations 19-26 will be put on emergency shutdown. A train will come to a stop near Grant Stadium stop, because of a large Viscera creature on the tracks. Passengers will be evacuated from the rear of the train and proceed towards the stadium station, attacked by smaller viscera along the way. The tunnels will be sealed off between these exits, and there will be a fair amount of panic in the subways as passengers find themselves sealed in with the monsters for several hours, until the tracks are cleared by security teams and service resumes. An open log will go up on the mod journal, for this.]
- SPORTS: Watch your favorite stars of the Hardcourt Ripjaws, North Side Freelancers and Portside Howlers face off head-to-head in a one-of-a-kind, one-on-one shoot out... for teddy bears and dollies! The Basketball Charity Expo will be held TODAY at Grant Stadium - admission is $10 and a toy for children 1 - 12 years old. Toys to be donated Skye Medical Center's pediatric ward and Four Winds Orphanage.
- PERSONALS: Classy gentleman looking for a date for the holiday season. Likes jazz music, visiting cafes, and isn't shy when it comes to debate or discussion. Opens up quickly with intelligent conversation. Funny, charismatic, open-minded, laid back, and witty. Open for a nice evening or two, or maybe lunch and coffee. We'll see how it goes.
