When You're Strange




HEADLINE!:  When You're Strange


The city of Convergence in no stranger to the unusual. We are a proud melting pot of the mundane and other, and we come together each day to both lament, and celebrate the oddity that is so uniquely us. Dark days loom over head, and the summer heat presses down upon us. 

There has been a calm in recent weeks.   Perhaps we can use this as a welcome opportunity to appreciate all the smaller, finer details of our home. 

Strange Weather:
The aforementioned heat increases with each day with triple digits looming like an unwelcome guest.  There was some respite, however, as one evening, the city bloomed with twelve shafts of light, and a calm cool fell over the city. It was a far cry from the snow and wain of weeks previous, but a gift the city itself, welcomed.

Witnesses report that twelve beams of light shot up at twelve points around the city and began to bend and shape toward one another.  Soon the lights weaved together like a tapestry and then the dome itself glowed a vibrant white.  This only lasted for a few moments, but in its wake we were left with a good twenty degrees cooler temperatures for a full two hours.

Statues Gone Wild:
Another curious tidbit of information is regarding wandering statues. In the evening, when gazed upon by no eyes, the statue before the Nexus vanished.  

The great, oddly melted horse is considered to be a vestige of a Silk District fire long passed. There has been no word from those of the Silk District of any Will to reproduce another work of art as a replacement. 

There is, as of yet, no information circulating regarding the whereabouts of the artwork.  Those who may know any information, or participated in the spiriting away of the horse, are strongly urged to contact the Convergence Chronicle with factoids. We here at the Chronicle are very curious people. 

As an unofficial statement, any who may see the statue are urged to not blink.

An additional statue has been reported as doing unusual things. This one, however, is actually present, though the Chronicle does not precisely have information as to where. Little is known about this work of art, but from one source, the statue is reported to venerate a saint, bleeds and has healing properties. There have been many suggestions as to how this may have occurred; anything as wild as some strange magic, to the more mundane use of basic chemistry and a sort of mass placebo effect. 

Either way, Convergence welcomes its newest cult!

Temporary Information:
Some citizens have arrived offering information of fliers that speak very foreboding information regarding our beloved Smith and Ada. Upon touch, these fliers seem to crumble into nothing. As this has occurred with each and every flier, it is advised that someone with the means to take a picture of these fliers do thus for analysis before making contact. 

These are strange and Dark times, indeed, Citizens of Convergence, but we are no strangers to the weird and such things shall not deter us from carrying on with day-to-day life in our beloved city.
