Use this forum thread to report rumors or goings-ons that would potentially be known around town!
Those of the particular inclination might feel a slightly unsettling, darker force blanketing the town. Has something stirred in the dead of night?
Rumor has it some hooded ninja-looking dude was screaming about his nut exploding near the motel.
The rain expected all weekend over Oregon has hit a cold front, causing temperatures to drop and snow to fall over Newstead and the surrounding areas. Those of the metaphysical variety might view this as a bad omen, while children and townsfolk are glad to have an uncharacteristically white Christmas and holiday week.
The rain that started last night has turned to ice, and then snow- Newstead is in the midst of yet another winter storm, set to continue through the weekend. Stock up on your groceries now!
If you go deep enough into the recesses of the darker occult and BDSM sites...... you end at a site with a countdown timer.

Rumor has it that someone has opened a new automotive garage in town, but isn't accepting many customers. Only a woman, and a redhead at that would have such bad business practices. Still, the people who have gotten in have told stories of original parts for classic cars, problems fixed that no one else could figure out and a flirtatious grease monkey.
Stories are being told by those people who live or spend time out in the woods, of animals that aren't quite... right. Deer that move like marionettes, or of wolf hows and partially eaten animals. There are also strange cries in the night and one or two stories of giggling echos in the trees with no source.
The ominous air about town is beginning to escalate- what stirs from its ancient slumber?
In other news, those awake and unusually attentive near the town square might hear some unscheduled night trains running.

Rumor has it, a guerrilla artist has been hiding a lifelike statue of a cat all around town. People have started leaving cat food and water bowls beneath the statue when they spot it. The food is always mysteriously missing come morning.
There have been a few, easily-overlooked, disappearances about town. Tourists leaving a day or two early, people forgetting to check out of their hotels, or worse, never arriving there in the first place... (whisper Will Hadote/Trevor Kinzer if you have any ideas/want to be directly involved in this mysterious plot).
That wasn't chocolate! Someone has hidden some ornate Easter eggs around shops in town that don't contain candy- they contain festive, colored baby chicks of all different breeds. Will you find one by chance, or will the shopkeepers seek to pawn off their newly-acquired pets?
Whoever delivered the eggs is a mystery, but now there are a few good baby chicks running around....

Have you seen the lights?
Maybe it was an email from a friend they denied sending, or a text message that didn’t appear on their phone. Maybe it was a late night broadcast temporarily hijacked, with those mysterious words flashing on the screen. Whatever it was, if you were in Newstead city limits in the past couple of days, there’s a good chance you saw the question somewhere.
Have you seen the lights?
Is it a warning? A hoax? Some sort of guerilla ad campaign? Authorities say it’s a hacker – nothing to worry about. They have everything under control.
What about you?

Perhaps due to the planets being in retrograde, perhaps not, but magic around Newstead has been a little haywire recently. The good witches are working overtime to lessen the ill events, while the more chaotically inclined...
Whether or not your character is a magic user, feel free to make things a little funky with the current planetary alignment! Perhaps their mental or supernatural traits are heightened, lessened, or twisted; you've got time, as this current retrograde lasts for six months!
