THE MAJORITY REPORT: OCTOBER 10TH, 2019What do you mean the Circle J isn't there anymore?

IT'S OVER 9000
As seen on FizzyList News:
A video has gone viral- with 20 million views in the last 24 hours- showing what appears to be an imPort summoning... a ghost?

The video, simply titled "Power Test", was originally posted on imPort Ben Hargreeves's Bluetube Vlog. It shows his brother, imPort Klaus Hargreeves, seemingly conjuring a spirit from the very grave itself. The spirit seems transparent, glows with an etheral blue light, and is constantly out of focus making her face appear blurry.

Calling herself "Birdie", the so-called spirit carried on a brief conversation with the two men, even lifting an object off a nearby table and putting it down, before disappearing.

The video itself has set off a firestorm of speculation, with comments ranging from "GHOSTS ARE REAL" to "obviously it was an illusion, duh", to wondering if this is viral marketing for an as yet unnamed film.

The imPorts in question could not be reached for comment.

Cast your vote now. Do you believe that ghosts exist?

THE PARTY WAS ROCKIN'
As Seen in the “Nonah Gazette”: Asteroid devastates Nonah city block!
Rumor has it that a space rock decimated a city block late October 1st, right outside local imPort family Hargreeves' house.

What started as something of a celebrity birthday celebration for four of Nonah’s imPorts, including model and actress, Allison Hargreeves, and their two siblings, ended with cleanup and rescue efforts from some of the imPort community’s finest.

Late Tuesday night, chaos broke out in the streets of Nonah after a devastating explosion demolished the immediate area of the blast site. Eyewitness Hugh Mann described the scene as “something out of a nightmare,” with an entire city block being destroyed in a matter of minutes.

Although there are reports of hospitalizations- some in critical condition- and Nonah property damage remains extensive, there were minimal fatalities in the aftermath. Search and rescue efforts were led not only by the bevy of imPorts who had gathered for the celebration, but also notable Aegis Force members Ashley Williams and Finn.

Speculation for the explosion has ranged from the mundane guesses of a gas leak to the wild assumption of an asteroid, or a new villain testing their powers. Local astrophysicist, Dr. Aster Royd, said that the asteroid theory seems the most likely.

“A small enough asteroid would be enough to cause extensive damage to a city block without wrecking the infrastructure below it. It’s our team’s hope to find some samples to study!”

The Hargreeves and associated guests were unavailable for comment.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING SERIOUS
As seen in major news outlets and distributed press releases:

The State Department has declared a national emergency in reaction to the increasing difficulties with dimensional fluctuations. Citizens are asked to report any and all paranormal activities to the nearest available military personnel. Troops will be deployed to highest affected areas in order to help maintain order and contain dangerous elements.

PARTY DOWN
As seen in notices from the government:
Due to the state of emergency and the fact that the intended venue of the De Chima Art Museum seems to have vanished overnight, this month's swear-in has been postponed until further notice. The government issues profuse thanks to the patriotic imPorts for their understanding and patience. Newly arrived imPorts will receive a pamphlet titled "Registration and You: The Making of an American Hero" and a book of coupons for local businesses to make up for the delay.

CODE SWITCH
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from GHOSTLY GRAY to BLOOD RED because.

The Majority Report comes out the 10th of every month. You may find details and submit here. The cut-off time is 12:01 AM PST on the 9th.

[ The Outsider seems like he's enjoying all this. ]

And here I thought the party was the only interesting thing the Hargreeves have been up to lately.

But they'll have to work harder than that if they don't want to be eclipsed by the fracturing of reality itself. It does seem to be getting worse, doesn't it?

[melodramagic]

You are way too ecstatic about this, Outsider.

[crypdick]

When everything is on the brink of collapse, that is when things become truly interesting, don't you think?

[melodramagic]

What? No way. People are scared.

[crypdick]

People are always scared of something.

[melodramagic]

Sure, but this? Reality falling apart? Plenty frightening for anyone.

[crypdick]

True. I do hope you all manage to do something about it. It would be a shame if this world were to truly meet its end, cracking under the pressure.

But I always did enjoy a good climax.

[melodramagic]

You do realize that you also will die if this comes to pass, right?

[crypdick]

A gambler rolls the dice one last time before he has nothing more to bet with, his heart pounding a beat faster than it has ever done before. Win or lose, the dice are already rolling.

[melodramagic]

So you don't care, essentially.

You're just here for the "ride".

[crypdick]

Is that what I said?

[melodramagic]

That's what it sounds like.

[crypdick]

And what about you? Will you wait and see what happens? Or will you try to cheat fate?

[melodramagic]

I've done it before.

[ She says proudly, chest puffing out. ]

And here? We have so many powerful beings working together. We'll beat whatever this is.

The art museum has VANISHED? And everything housed inside it?

[cognitivism]

At least you weren't working. Could you imagine?

[lempereur]

Hmm...that would have been unfortunate.

[ Yes. His body was the thing he was worried about losing. Obviously. ]

[cognitivism]

Are you all right?

[lempereur]

I will be when we find out where the art has gone.

[cognitivism]

Hopefully it'll be temporary. I'm not sure how to begin investigating.

[lempereur]

Perhaps we should go there and see if there is anything left behind. Or at least find out if someone saw anything.

[cognitivism]

I'll start looking through social media to see if there is video evidence.

Are you free tomorrow? Perhaps we could bring Haru and Futaba as well.

[lempereur]

Given that I am now unemployed, yes. I am free tomorrow.

I will try to contact any coworkers who have not been swallowed into nothingness.

[cognitivism]

You could have been focusing on your art.

What time do you wish to meet then?

[lempereur]

To be truthful, I have been struggling with that, since my return. If I found some way to be useful, perhaps that would help.

Early. So that we may catch people out and about on their way to work.

[cognitivism]

Ah...that does seem to put a damper on focusing doesn't it? Well hopefully this will help inspire you.

How about 9am? I'll ask Haru if she has class tomorrow.

[lempereur]

I was doing very well, before I was whipped out and in again.

My inspiration will return, I am sure.

9 will do fine.

As someone who went to the party and came out with bruised ribs: worth it

not here

[This being Victor's first Majority Report, his take-away from this is whoever the Hargreeves are probably related to every weird going on in America right now,(worth knowing), buildings spontaneously vanish, and the hero propaganda was either written by or for Eli. Either way... What the fuck.]
