Dance Magic Dance





HEADLINE:  DANCE MAGIC DANCE


The days have been becoming more and more interesting as of late. Magic flourished to levels out of control and all called forth by an alarming event. On the evening of June 13th, every mirror in the city shattered. This was not only mirrors, but any surface that reflected with clarity. Why would this be so specific?

After this grand display, many took to action and immediately collected the shattered shards to contain them in caution. In the wake of this, magic struck as it never had before, as if everyone was blasted with a great wave of power, much beyond our normal means. Because of this, the magic one possessed strengthened with little control, sometimes erupting unbidden. 

With the chaos, the Things attempted to contain the rampant magic use, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of incidences. To keep the already strained resources in check, the matron entity, ADA, relieved the city and her population of the constraint of law until noted otherwise. 

Various oddities occurred, the Silk turning into a strange jungle, the Church became covered in a green carpet of flowering ivy, fountain statues spat water at any passerby, to the delight of children, a spontaneous light show appeared above the park, and the beauty of true forms bloomed. After nearly a week of randomness, the laws were reinstated and some semblance of normalcy once again  was reached.

However, despite the everyday lives of Convergence Citizens returning to normal, it still begs the question as to why all this happened at all.  Wild stories of what could have caused the shattering mirrors and magical disturbance abounds.  Was it merely coincidence, some sort of happy experiment, or something far more sinister?  Perhaps, only time shall tell.
