Subreality Times
Issue #1
Saturday 29th, March, 2000

Well, what do you know? We have a paper here. All right, since the untimely demise of the previous Subreal publication - "Subreality Tattler," the field of journalism has been shamefully neglected. But never fear, for I is here and thou shall suffer in ignorance no more.

This is a first issue of what promises to be a popular and profitable enterprise... Shuddup and leave me happy with my illusions all right?

Now to the point. The news.

The Bullet:

Firstly and most importantly CFAN has been updated. Let us give thanks...

Even more importantly - those strange shrieks and howls that awoke your neighbors are NOT the sounds heralding the invasion by Pokemon fanfiction.
It's simply the result of a new Say What.

Also today has been declared an "Archivist Day." Tee-shirts, hats and various merchandise can be obtained at any establishment associated with Subreality Cafe franchise. However be warned, that overabundance of the line "Have You Kissed Your Archivist Today?" has already caused one incident of... unpleasantness.

Search for Sabertooth continues, the Writer is reported to be in stable condition.

Hmmm... what else, what else... AHA! You'll be happy to know that message boards are safe to visit again. The unnatural peace and calm reigning over Duke Out Board came to an end and the natural order is therefore restored.

The world will not end tomorrow. Maybe on Monday...

Natural Disaster Warning:
Danger, men of THOSD!
Danger! If you are smart you will find pressing business away from the House this week. Why, you ask?

Hmm... let me see if I can phrase it without crossing the boundary of good taste... Prospects do not look good, but here we go. It has come to the attention of this paper,through reliable sources that sizeable portion of the House's better half is... not feeling so fresh these days. We are aware that the hint is vague. We also want to live to write the second issue. Deal with it.

Current Affairs:
Now, for the current affairs. The production of the highly publicized "Springtime" RR has grounded to a firm stop and is showing no discernable signs of being resurrected, despite the recent attempt as resuscitation.

While we are at it let us also say a short prayer for the untimely demise of "Form of Things To Come," "Getting Medieval on Your Café," "Upstarts" and both Christmas Party RRs. Yes... the road to glory is littered with casualties. Oh well, moving right along.

On a brighter note, "The Road Trip" seems to have gotten a second breath, there is also a high hope of recovery for "Writing The Round Robin." Let us pray...

Metropolitan news:

For the SCML citizens. The rumors are true. There is a large outbreak of withdrawal pains among your neighbors and friends. However allegations that D^Knight spiked his feedback with honest appraisal and tactful criticism can neither be confirmed nor denied at this point. We also have no information when the supply will resume again.

To those numerous individuals who complained about sudden inflation in prices. Deal, people! The City is suddenly full. Apparently it has something to do with some dinky little race or survival course or something... We are not sure, but nothing will probably come of it.

It has come to our attention that there is a memo being circulated around, apparently called "Subreality Manifesto." SCPD is offering a substantial reward to those who will offer information leading to location and apprehension of the said document.

Business:
A new gambling establishment has been opened in the Subreality City. Called "Casino Royale." It apparently is under investigation by the Bureau for the incorrect application for license. Check it out, the shrimp is to die for.

Sports News:
More about that race thing. It is called Eco-Challenge. Several teams will compete with each other and the devious minds of Epona Harper and Shai PeriHawk to reach the finish line

So far following teams have been announced:
"Drunk" - members are Abyss, Duann Cowart, Dex and Phil Foster.

"Jailbait" - members are Azzy, Lynxie, Sparks, Junkmail.

"Cleavage" - members are Kielle a.k.a. The Scribe, Mice, Trisha Lynn, Ashlan, Coyote Girl.

"Reboot" - members are Chandri, D^Knight, Lise, Robin Darking.

"Tim Tam" - members are Rossi, Seraph, Doc Persona, Rowan.

"Mallard" - members are Jesse Willey, Speedy_Paul, Maria Cline.

On an unrelated note, the stocks are up today. The sharp drop in the real estate values was more the compensated by the jump of the funeral and the coffin producing enterprises. Medical, insurance and pharmaceutical businesses have also experienced a sudden boost.

The Casino Royale is offering following odds on the result of the race:

To finish first:
"Drunk" 5:6,
"Tim Tam" 4:6,
"Cleavage" 3:6,
"Jailbait" 3:6,
"Reboot" 2:6,
"Mallard" 1:6.

To finish at all:
"Cleavage" 5:6,
Everybody else 1:10

Side-bets like:

"Tim Tam" to suddenly join forces with Dark Side and try to take over the world - 4:5,
"Jailbait" to go after the jury -6:7,
"Jailbait" To go after audience 7:8,
"Jailbait" to go after somebody, with the chainsaws being heavily involved - sucker bet,
"Drunk" - to make a detour to Mhairie Hut and/or every pub on the way - 9:10.

To make these and similar bets see Guido at Casino Royale.

Weather report:
Hello! This is Subreality! Either it'll rain anvils or it will be sunny with a slight breeze, high at 70s.
