::For Professor Kantei and Principal Yoko (seperate threads if either is interested), you 'lucked' out on the school's night security detail that rotates since for whatever reason, the school's budget request for night security guards keeps getting misfiled enough that they can only handle the school late enough that there needs to be a gap filled by volunteers.

One day, that budget request will be properly filed. Tonight is not that day.

You've been paired up with Mrs. Yuuki! It'll probably be fine until the part-time security guard gets here.::


Hello.

I am Aeon.

I'm an acolyte of Lady Euphemia. I do Tarot Readings like her, and she's suggested I offer readings here to train myself up.

I offer 4 Decks to use.

The Deck of the Witch.
The Deck of Journeys.
The Deck of Play.
The Deck of Secrets.

Which do you choose to learn your fate.

3 to 5 cards is preferable, but I can be persuaded to do a larger reading or just a single card, but do not abuse my generosity for the larger readings.


::At a certain estate in TOPS, the most elite section of Domino, a certain business man dons a mask and hood, preparing to go out for the night as he reaches the foyer of the small mansion.::
::So anyone implicated with the disaster at Heartland City, you've been hurried away into Kaikori, the private gated community owned by the Wakahisa family.

It is a surreal place, caught in perpetual twilight. Resembling Ballonlea and Glimwood Tangle from Pokemon Sword & Shield, except the mushrooms are replaced with crystals growing out the ground and trees, it centers around a circle of shops and buildings including a convenience store, a gym, a small school to tutor the children of Noriko's friends and key employees, before branching out into company apartments to the south east, a motel and an inn to the west, and private homes in the North West to North to North East.

Perhaps you would like to take a break, interact with others, and breath before things likely get worse.

Fortunately, every time the government seems to come into Kaikori, they've been unable to locate Yamamoto Suzume, Wakahisa Noriko, or Mr. and Mrs. Tsukumo. So for now.

A piece of twilight paradise before things likely get so much worse.::

The key is the key."

::In the half buried ruins underneath Duel Academy that have been sealed off...

A gateway forms, as a young teenage girl, half visible, floats out of it, wearing a gossamer dress and a veil, as a cloaked figure walks out, a heavy breathing

They survey the area, the cloaked figure clumsily having to leap from stone to stone.::

::So, let's say you want some simple downlow interaction for the holidays, might we suggest three locations:

The Plaza of Domino with a Christmas Tree and other decorations up, maybe Santas about.

Or perhaps you've been invited as a friend of the Wakahisa family to a party at Kaddaht, Noriko's estate in Kaikori.

Or, perhaps you'll be attending a party being held at the Obelisk Girl's dorm with the girls as the hosts, in the LARGE Foyer.

Any which way, just relax and interact.::

::So Judai and Asuka meet together one night soon after hearing Kamala's story about a former classmate who shouldn't be.

It's in the maintenance tunnels. Probably darker clothes to avoid cameras and security as much as possible, and Asuka's advised against anything too loose because there is a lot of piping.::

... And the national government seems to be likely to consolidate in December or January in a functioning cabinet. Concern is this is likely to be a highly conservative government, likely to prioritize what the media is calling "The Domino Problem"...

... The Equinox Hotel's west wing has collapsed. It does not appear to be an act of terrorism, but there is no explanation as to why it collapsed, as the wing was considered structurally sound...

Mothers in Domino are concerned young girls in the city are increasingly delinquent, and the area around Duel Academy's Domino Branch has seen an uptick in truancy and motorcycles. What's past is apparently present.

A string of serious of mysterious ice sculptures has appeared around Domino.

Sector Security, for concerns of contraband and illicit, has been positioned by the mayor at all roads and bridges and tunnels in-and-out of the Greater Domino Area...

A perfectly safe penguin has been discovered in Maiami City.

The mayor has again proposed, due to the city's alliance with Hyperborea and Automekanika, to place an island made from a slab of land from another world, off of the coast of Domino for her New Moment Project, to run a new Momentum Reactor...

The First of what is being dubbed "Plates" is going to uplift the gated community of Tops onto the Plate... the mayor, Mayor Tokei Kouji, has sworn the plate systems will not create underclass slums from developing under The Plate System....

Is pink really the new black...?

The V.R.A.I.S.S.H. Surveillance System is being shopped around the GDA, as a means to aid the Domino Sector Security Police Force. Reception by the City Council and major corporations in the area remain tepid...

... Uptick in the amount of dead deer around Kaikori and Carcosa Tower...

Rumors have it that a giant computer is the purpose of the Carcosa Tower...

New ruins of a temple complex outside Domino in the mountains have been discovered by archaeologists Initial speculation ties it to the Tengu...

And now a word from our Sponsor, Black Velvet Housewares, "Putting the House back in Housewife". Try BV Brand Chocolate Chip Cookies today!


::Welcome, welcome to the costume party at the Equinox, which has a quasi Victorian air to it.

The party is located in the front foyer and the main garden grounds of the hotel, with tables of food and drink prepared, and plenty of conversation pieces. People are wandering about in costumes both elaborate and simple.

There's plenty of merry making, you should all gladly talk to one another, but if you're feeling risky, maybe venture into the closed Western Wing of the hotel that is under renovation.

If you're wondering who could afford to rent out the hotel for this nighttime event, it appears to be a group called the Tannhauser Society, which if you look it up, seems to be some generic something or other NGO or Charitable organization.

In the back of the Foyer is a Romanticism style painting of a red-haired maiden in armor with what appears to be Celeb Blade - Death Wild, leading a revolutionary pose. It adds to the antiquity of the building tonight, which adds a bit of a chill.

Otherwise there's general pumpkins, skeletons, bats, cauldrons and the like to add to the Halloween atmosphere.

The host is a cloaked figure with the name tag "Sister Fingers". Probably an elaborate costume.

But feel free to interact, nothing strange will happen tonight.::
::Late at night, three girls have managed to avoid teachers and security, some with passes, some with skills, but they meet together near the pit and ruins that form the Abandoned Dorm's 'corpse'.::

... And that's how you build a tent using jorts and thread!

In other news, there have been reports of rolling fog on both Aquaria Island and the No Man's Land around the strange tower in Domino. Some have even reported sightings of a demon and a large black knight around locations, respectively. Someone even indicated a 'witch'. ... Which since The Halloween Incident cannot be discounted...

... As always, it is heavily encouraged you do not enter the No Man's Land of The Tower...

Mayor Tokei has confirmed that her administration does plan to go through with Project Seventh Wonder, constructing a city on top of the existing cities, with the help of Amahara Heavy Industries and a new firm stationed out of Aquaria Island... Experts note this is impossible... And...

... The largest cube of Jell-O has been discovered in a pool in Las Vegas...

A strange festival platform was found in a park, seemingly built overnight. Sector Security has no comment at this time, though the public has noted and complained many of the cherry blossoms are blood red within the partk...

Next up, how to bake bunny cookies...

And later, we investigate who Shian is, after a mysterious sky writing session went awry...

It's been three months since the incident at the Arcology Tower, now reshaped into "World's End Palace - Carcosa".

On the night, a missile exploded over the ocean territory of Japan. A former Leo Corp ammunition, Leo Corp continues to deny wrong doing other than the missile's creation and has dedicated itself to breaking down the remainder of the stockpile.

The Japanese Government, rocked by revelations of the JSDF and related politicians being connected to its launch, along with connections to dangerous religious organizations, earlier this week collapsed for a fifth time.

The new interim Prime Minister promises swift investigations into both just as his previous two predecessors did...

...As well, Duel Spirits have become increasingly prevelant all across Japan and East Asia, physically appearing...

... Bank of Japan promises stability...

... In other news, Mayor Kouji, who recently won Election, has promised she will be moving forward with her four part plan to build another city on top of the city of Domino. Critics and activists complain that it will remove sunlight and increase poverty...

And in other news, does an Everything Bagel really have EVERYTHING on it?
A series of threads to set up for certain events. Probably nothing of importance is going on here.
::Meanwhile, at a bar in Domino, empty of all staff, lights humming.::

Amahara Heavy Industries and Leo Corp have agreed to the construction of "The Dimension Highway", but no information is coming forward to the matter, and it is unlikely to deal with actual dimensions as it is Diet Policy that Other Dimensions Do Not Exist. Perhaps it's a highway with lanes for bikes? We'll find out if anything comes of this.

In other news, Mrs. Wakahisa Aisenburn, the Chairwoman of Black Velvet, has noted she'll be announcing her pick for a new Senior Vice President soon, after she took over the position for Chairwoman from founder and former Chairwoman and current majority Stock Holder, Wakahisa Noriko decided to step down from the position, and we quote "To find myself and maybe grow a mustache and work on a muscle car or something, who knows!"

In general interest, Black Velvet is also doing a test run of a new club it's calling Hypnos, meant to let people relax to their fullest, but further information remains scant, other than Pajamas are involved. The usual Women Against Indecency protest group, whose membership has been in decline, has stated they plan to protest the club and as we quote "Whenever Black Velvet moves into an area, nothing good can come of it, and this is no exception."

The police have announced anyone caught approaching the vagabond held arcology that is Not Held By Faeries will be arrested for loitering, jaywalking, and public indecency.

The recent chief of Police has also pushed back on the growth of the LDS Top Team, OOPARTS, and Kaiba Corp Security, calling them vigilante mercenary forces, and has promised to restore the reputation of the police in Domino.

And in our second to last number, just what is a Rosencrantz anyways, as claims of a mysterious organization referencing the name involved in loans and gambling have grown in recent months. The police have no comment, but according to anonymous sources, investigations are going nowhere.

And lastly, a report on cute dogs with sprinkle donut theme beds--

... and so as the New Years approach, everyone is preparing to look towards the future. We will have some minor snowfall over the weekend, but weather should be mild for any temple visits.

In further news, the mass disappearances of recent times in the Greater Domino Area, including that of almost two years ago during the New Years festivities of 2020, appear to have been solved with no further incident, as that tourist group was found among the number of people who had suddenly appeared in the town just outside of Domino City back on the 12th, as reported. While they cannot answer for where they've been for the past two years, medical examiners have concluded that they are unharmed, if mildly disoriented.

However, the situation is still developing, as a number of individuals found appear to have not been reported as missing previously, and attempts to contact related families have been met with confusion all around. Is it aliens? This reporter thinks it might be aliens.

Clean-up crews have been working hard to restore the streets and sidewalks after reports of vandalism have come in, following call-in claims of "demons, fire, and brimstone" earlier this month during the late hours of the night.

[Images follow of the numerous markings where those Earthbound Abyss demons were pulling themselves out of.]

Whether it was an elaborate prank, or a serious case, this reporter this still attempting to get a clear statement from authorities, including from the Supernatural Division, "OOPARTS". However, the clean-up and restoration effort is expected to be finished by the end of January 2022, weather permitting.

Now, onto our next segment: 2022, Is This The Year You Buy That New Car? Answer Sketchy.

--

Update: Good evening. We bring you this update in the evening news bulletin, having received a statement from head of OOPARTS, "Haita Onni". It is as follows.

"We can confirm an incident occurred on the date and time in question, and had multiple agents and volunteers on the scene to contain damage. All supernatural activity regarding the incident has ceased and no further investigations will be conducted."

This reporter, once again, insists that aliens are involved. Even if no further investigations will occur, I ask that you look up to the skies for the answers. Thank you, and have a good New Years Eve.

... And that's how eating high fat bagels can make you lose weight and cigarettes can increase your lung capacity.

... In other news, the Arcology A-05K, located in the expanding TOPS Area, that was in the middle of being constructed by the Amahara Heavy Industries group has been mysteriously taken over, according to the signs now hanging from the building, reading:

"The Kingdom of FAERIE" in very childish English.

And multiple trees and vines are growing from the building.

No one knows who is behind this incident, but people at the location have noted both to us and social media, that small Duel Spirits can be seen flying in and out and around the Arcology...

And any normal police who have gone in have come back out as precocious children or insufferable teenagers.

And now for the weather... and make sure you have an umbrella that can handle peanut brittle!

*Today was the day of the Semi-Finals of a big Action Duel tournament being held in New York City which Action Duelist Yushou Sakaki was taking part in. It was all going well, until an unexpected accident cut the duel short.

News about the accident has been all over the news since.*


And in our top story:

Popular Action Duelist, Yushou Sakaki, was involved in an accident during his match in the semi-finals of the US Action Duel tournament, currently being held in New York City.
During his match with US Action Duelist Brett Jones, Yushou Sakaki seemed to lose his footing and fell from a high platform after his opponent attacked with the Rank 12 XYZ Monster, Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus.

Early reports seem to indicate that Yushou Sakaki has received damage to his left leg as a result of the fall and is currently receiving treatment in hospital.

Hospital officials have not yet given a statement on his exact condition or the actual extent of the injuries, though tournament officials have concluded that Yushou Sakaki will not be able to continue in the tournament and Brett Jones was awarded the match.

We'll have more on this story as it comes.
