THE MAJORITY REPORT: SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2015

THE MAJORITY REPORT: SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2015
SUPERNATURAL CRITTERS have been spotted along the eastern seaboard, but especially nearer the associated imPort cities. Maybe you've seen that BlueTube video of little Jimmy riding the Loch Ness Monster? Or the on-camera meltdown of the really pissed off weathermen justifying sharknadoes via the improbability of magic? Surely you've seen Cottoneye Beau, wildlife expert, teach kiddos about the safety of JAWS? You know: JUST (be) AWARE (that) WHAT (the hell that's a damn) SHARK!? You might not have been able to catch the full glory, as Cottoneye Beau's television show was quickly cancelled by NBSea. He ended his finale by leaping into the ocean, inexplicably to music. Good television watching, boy howdy, that's for sure! Gives those reality shows a run for their money, doesn't it? But then again, why obsess over ratings (or lack thereof) -- maybe you don't give a Puck?

JUMPED THE SHARK
DVD sales of Tsharknami are going through the ROOF. And then that roof caught fire. How often can magic be blamed, really? Is this not all but some human foible at play?

No?

SNITCH BETTER HAVE MY MONEY
A $250,000 reward (paid full, in cash, and without tricksy taxes) for any USEFUL information about the whereabouts of one Doctor Jonathan Crane has been posted as of 9.10.15. Contact any government official with tips.

JIMMY FELL DOWN THE WELL
The following will be seen on BlueTube:
Jimmy got swallowed by the Loch Ness monster in his encore internet sensation video. Hubris is the ruin of humanity.

BRUSH UP YOUR SHAKESPEARE
The following will be seen in local morning show stations and UStube:
Professor Sanderson Squire II, Shakespearean Expert and tenured professor at De Chima University, has repeatedly given criticism on what he believes to be an elongated Banksy-esque performance art piece reference A Midsummer Night's Dream and lysergic acid diethylamide.

RUMOR HAS IT
The following will be seen in local tabloids:
A new superhero team is brewing! Rumor has it that a buxom blonde is leading the charge. Who could this be?? What sort of SOCIETY-inclined members could be ushering in a new kind of JUSTICE?

FOR AN ENCHANTING TIME CALL
The following will be seen in two ways: the offer to learn magic is printed on posters put up around imPort housing in the porter cities. Above each one is a small magical light, providing enough illumination to read the poster at night.

The offer of hired magic is printed in newspapers of the four porter cities as a small advertisement.

Are you an imPort? Are you sane and responsible with the use of your powers? Would you like to learn magic? Contact Sabriel and ask for an interview.

Mage for hire. Warding, enchantment, and miscellaneous spells at reasonable rates. No seances, necromancy, or love spells. Contact Sabriel at (phone number) for rates and other information.

INSERT HOMER SIMPSON SOUND EFFECT
Starting 9.13.15, FUNKIN' DONUTS (the musically-inclined donut shop chain located in Heropa, De Chima, and Nonah) will be selling FAUXNUTS. These are made-to-order donuts in the shape and likeness of imPort faces. Made-to-order, MADE-TO-EAT!

HOVER OVER, DROP DOWN BOX
The following will be seen in tabloid newspapers:
On 9.15.15 and 9.16.15, EVERY hovering device (cars, scooters, skateboards, etc) will cease to work. You might get a sputter, you might float a few feet, but inevitably gravity will shake you back down to earth. This will, strangely, NOT be reported on in legitimate newspapers.

HOT POCKET
The following will be on loop over every news television station:
At 0600 GMT on 9.16.15, USSR troops will march to the border between Finland and Russia and begin building what appears to be a wall. The US President will declare this an act of aggression, though some will call it passive-aggression.

COLOR BLINDNESS
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from RED to MAGENTA in response to the De Chima attack.

mathemagier: fuck the color blue (Srs worktime)

No luxury for idle bureaucracy when the world's at stake. I suppose it's one thing to say for the attacks.

You should stop by for a visit sometime, Mr. Qubit.
driftsintobuffetline: (well gee hermann I love you too)

[personal profile] driftsintobuffetline 2015-09-12 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, totally! Come visit. We don't bite. Well, Hermann does, but he'll behave.
mathemagier: points aggressively (Chaos parka)

[personal profile] mathemagier 2015-09-12 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds positively salacious, Newton- not to mention completely unsanitary. Do try to have some modicum of decency.
driftsintobuffetline: (TEN YEARS EXPERIENCE)

[personal profile] driftsintobuffetline 2015-09-12 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
What? Decency? I'm not the one who bites.
mathemagier: Ten years of experience!! (Doctor)

[personal profile] mathemagier 2015-09-12 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Newton, he's starting to think you saw some things you weren't supposed to see and it's making him just this side of disturbed]

Figuratively speaking, perhaps.
driftsintobuffetline: (that's it. that's the relationship)

[personal profile] driftsintobuffetline 2015-09-12 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Figuratively speaking, definitely. You bite my head off all the time!

[He didn't.]
mathemagier: grrroupie (Wrong)

[personal profile] mathemagier 2015-09-12 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
I must say it's usually well-deserved.

[Like the one that's waiting in the wings about talking to Crane]
driftsintobuffetline: (well gee hermann I love you too)

[personal profile] driftsintobuffetline 2015-09-12 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
You MUST say it, huh? Whatever, man.

[but it's just donut banter.]

[oh my god i turn my back on you two for five minutes... he's just gonna facepalm a little and leave the rest of that thread alone...]

I'd like that, Dr. Gottlieb. When works for the two of you?
mathemagier: are you hitting on me (Does not compute)

[personal profile] mathemagier 2015-09-12 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[It's just how they do, sorry bro]

Do you have any free time tomorrow evening?
superposition: (I think I can rely on you)

[personal profile] superposition 2015-09-12 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Plenty. [Too much.]
mathemagier: this is my predictive model- no touchie (Explain a thing)

[personal profile] mathemagier 2015-09-12 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Seven would work for us, if that's suitable. We'll order in and finally relate the details to you in appreciable order.
driftsintobuffetline: (trying to explain)

[personal profile] driftsintobuffetline 2015-09-12 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
And catch you up on post 2009 things! Not that our dimensions will go similarly, even sans Kaiju, but could be of interest.
Edited 2015-09-12 17:45 (UTC)
superposition: (And you must be looking very old tonight)

[personal profile] superposition 2015-09-12 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Haha yeah... they're definitely not gonna go similarly at all...]

Sounds like a plan to me. Same apartment complex as before, then? [The one he dropped Hermann off in front of last time?]
driftsintobuffetline: (Default)

[personal profile] driftsintobuffetline 2015-09-12 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, still haven't moved. Sometimes I wonder if we actually will.
superposition: (But now you have gone)

[personal profile] superposition 2015-09-12 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Up to you. Even if you start working in De Chima, the commute's no great hardship. [Between the intercity Porters and Hermann's teleportation ability. Oh yeah, he ought to ask about that when he gets there.]

At any rate, see you then.
