And now the News...
In a statement beamed from the Oracular
Society today Morafans the Rickmaster, the Psychosocial Health
Minister of the Overking, has issued guidelines for the “mauve
plague” of crowned micro-psychonauts sweeping the borderlands
this season. Hill Cantoners are advised to stay underground for
extended periods of time preferably in small armed groups of 4-12 to
avoid mauve plague infection.
Morafans also clarified a recent
statement from Our Dear Overking Adaulf II that his people
should “embrace chaos—we have the greatest chaos, the best
chaos--and prepare for the End of All Things” as “poetic license
that in fact means quite the opposite, all other interpretations are
nuncupatory.” Construction of the Great Ziggarut will continue in
order as part of the royal stimulus package.
Panic buying of white gravy and
halushky has created severe shortages throughout the Cantons. Lady
Draga, her most serene boyaress of Revoca Canton, is offering a
cold hard cash bounty of 5,000 gold suns for the procurement of
the Great Gravy Urn of Svat the Four-Faced from a nearly murderhole.
In equally important news “Little
Szara”, the newly-arrived Marlinko high society bon vivant, has
introduced mandiblar-bat frills into local fashion. Everyone who is
anyone is wearing them, really darling.
