January 22
[The morning of January 22nd dawns unremarkably. A popular radio show plays as it always does, accessible from COMPs and other less fancy devices.]
Good morning, Hinoto-Ri! And thank you for waking up to the 8:00 Daily News.
A bar fight broke out yesterday in the Taurus District, shattering the record four days Hinoto-Ri has gone without such an altercation. In Aquarius, a prophet calling himself Murayama has declared that the end of the world is already here, distancing himself from the faction who claim it is merely nigh. And our favorite aerial friends, the winged dolphins, were spotted early this morning at 3 flying in maneuvers faintly reminiscent of crop circles over the Capricorn forest.
But first, our major news story of the day:
Festivals.
Last week's Coming of Age Festival was a great financial success for the city, with the net profits reported today by City Hall as 'substantial'. The report made note of the popularity of the mahjong tables and offered a brief mention of thanks to the man who spent nearly 10000 yen attempting to catch a fish with a paper net. Following a thwarted attempt at theft, the man was subsequently apprehended. Unfortunately, the fish, whom he named Nemo in the ten seconds it was in his possession, did not survive the chase.
The economy, in fact, has been in an upswing since the mysterious appearance of the Persona-wielding duplicates in December, as it seems doubling the number of bodies in Hinoto-Ri meant double the amount of purchases. Unfortunately, as the duplicates were identical in every way, no purchases made during this time will be refunded. Citizens and Visitors alike are encouraged to enjoy the fruits of these illicit shopping sprees.
The weather in Hinoto-Ri remains quite chilly, with an alarming number of cases of hypothermia and frostbite already reported by the Caduceus Hospital. All citizens are encouraged to stay indoors at night; Visitors who continue to defend against the demon threat are encouraged to find a Persona who can use fire-based attacks and consequently, to stay well away from residential districts. In related news, in a bid to drive up sales, those who preorder the third book of the Prince of Junes series will receive a voucher for a one-size-fits-all thermal undershirt for half off.
And now, over to Iruka in Capricorn to report on the dolphins.
[The Aquarius Event has begun! But all seems normal... As normal as it gets in Hinoto-Ri.]
