Dark Changes

HEADLINE: DARK CHANGES

This month has been one of great change. Change is not always unwelcome, but the entry is almost always difficult to endure. Something called the 'Dark Gale' moved in from the North.  The entire forest surrounding the city was enveloped in a black miasma. All citizens were warned well in advanced to flee to the city as the Gale swept over, plunging us into darkness.  As if enclosing our bodies within the heart of a beast. 

Despite what one would assume with such a population boom inside the walls, there were few incidents, save a few scuffles. In times of trials, as always, the Citizens of this island join together in something akin to harmony. That tumultuous friendship came through again as the dome flickered with the external batterings of the Dark Gale.  The threat was quite real and caused several to seek shelter, some going so far as to fall to the underground. Wards were erected and after several hours, the systems that support or wonderful dome were back online and once again functioning against the onslaught. 

In it's wake, the outside has changed dramatically. It is unknown if this cloud of darkness picked things up along the way and deposited them here, or if perhaps pockets into other places opened, causing things to fall into our world. It should always be stressed to exercise caution when exploring new areas, especially in the forest. 

In reply to the events, our Lady Ada is aggressively restructuring. The reasoning, again, is unknown, but do be careful when wandering the city as well. Expect to be lost and potentially have to get transportation assistance, as the laundry mat with tomorrow's clothing is somehow across town. Perhaps procrastination is not the best thing for the next few months. 

Little is known about the Dark Gale, but there are whispers that it may function like the dark malaise that surrounds Tokyo. While not exactly the same, this gale is one of the most caustic substances known. It causes organic and inorganic material to melt upon coming too close. It should be stated that in the Dark Dome of Tokyo, insectoid creatures have been seen within, and only some people, if they could be called that, were able to pass though, unscathed. Be careful, be cautious, and always be vigilant. 

Our surroundings may have changed, but our hearts remain set upon weathering any storm.
