The Golden Record has the scoop! Since he performed at the charity event back in November, Seth Romor has been in the spotlight, getting attention from the likes of Venture City’s own Kate Rider. His popularity grew as an edgy punk rocker and even got to open for Ms. Rider, who came out on stage and planted a kiss after fans were begging for the two to get together. However, did Kate know about Seth’s little secret? It was just recently discovered that our little up and coming star might be edgier than our favorite pop star bargained for, because Seth has been living with his songwriter for what we can only guess has been months. And who is this songwriter you may ask? Of course, none other than everyone’s newest favorite Baldwin daughter, Sage Baldwin. Lately, Sage has been in the news more often than her sister, Aura, constantly having to do with stories involving Seth. Did Kate know that Seth was living with one of the richest daughters in the city? Is Seth playing Kate for a fool? Or is Kate trying to take Seth away from Sage to have for herself? Is that why she took Seth on tour? To have him all to herself for a whole month, and in return boost his career? Does Kate know about the love songs Sage wrote about him? The Golden Record is on top of it, so keep reading to find out more in the days ahead as we dig deeper.

While on tour, Seth Romor surprises his audience while on tour with Kate Rider with a new song. Rumor has it it’s a Romor original written for Sage Baldwin back in Venture City. The song addresses someone that wears ripped jeans, which is certainly something the youngenst of the Baldwin daughters would wear. Also, the song is entitled “Photograph” and references a photo throughout the song. Seth and Sage were seen at a club taking a selfie the night before he left on tour.

Strange figures have been sighted throughout the city since yesterday afternoon. From what we can gather, there were six sightings of a tall shadowy thing walking around major parts of the city. There were two additional sightings where it was standing still in the storm, staring inside windows. One was at the Daraug’s
ristorante Belle, the other at a small cafe near midtown. The second appeared to be interesting in Shyloh Baldwin, who was in attendance at the cafe that night. It is unclear why, or even what these things are. If spotted, it is recommended to not approach them.

Additionally, Shyloh fought the Shadow Creature and ended up running away and Cassandra found out that an important prototype was discovered to be missing from Pearl’s lab. #Codered

Yesterday, Mitsuhama Spice Corp. was attacked by a group of supers known to be in Splitstream’s crew. “They forced their way in and went straight for the R&D wing,” according to one of the scientists working at the time. “They didn’t make any demands. Just started tearing the place apart.” Three people were killed in the attack while eleven were sent to the hospital in critical condition.

According to Raymond Pitts, the acting police chief, this behavior is out of the ordinary for members of Splitstream’s gang. “Normally, they don’t come out of the Sprawl but rather stick to their turf wars. On occasion, we might find them venturing out on the edge, going as far as 5th street, but they have never seemed to have had any issue with Mitsuhama. It’s very unusual.” When asked why the sudden change in behavior he had this to say. “It’s too soon to know for certain right now. Maybe there was a falling out with these particular members and are no longer part of Splitstream’s gang. There could have been an exchange of power we haven’t heard about. Or Splitstream could be just getting bored with his old crimes.”

While most people outside the crime scene were concerned citizens and just wanted to know what was going on, there were a handful of people praising the actions of these terrorists. “I’m glad it happened. Mitsuhama is playing God and messing with nature. They should end their supers program,” according to one protester who declined to give her name.

Mitsuhama Corp wants to tell their clients there is nothing to worry about. The repairs will take weeks, perhaps months, to complete, but it’s not the only place this research is kept. No one should have to put off getting or maintaining their powers but may have to meet at a different location until repairs are complete. Once the site is back up and running security will be improved as well.

Sage wanted to figure out what was the missing ingredient in whatever use to help her. I found it and charcoal traced a picture of the text from the library that Dad had given me in his will. I rather like this little island. It’s the closest to nature I may ever feel in this world. Even the birds don’t flee at the site of me as easily as in the city. Maybe there is some sort of stressed aura I give off when in the city. I’d taken the day off from the studio calling in sick so I could do this and spent the rest of the day relaxing with afternoon tea time with Shiro and walked the beach a bit. The later afternoon, I worked on collecting my information for my night work, making sure my information is organized and as up to date as possible.

Some are speculating that drug dealers might be somehow involved in people losing their powers after a record amount of users have ended up in Venture City Hospital over the last week. This makes sense provided that people who used to have powers would want to get them back, even if temporarily. It is also believed that the effects of the super drug tend to wear off faster than they used to, causing users to buy more to maintain the high they used to receive.

Others still cling to the idea that PAS is behind the loss but this does seem unlikely since they are not known for having resources for something this massive. However, after the events at the festival in November of last year, they appear to have acquired more resources than they previously had.

Ever since the band ‘Outbreak’ started hitting the local music charts, fans all over the city have been shipping Kate Rider and Outbreaks lead singer, Seth Romor. Both started out in Venture city and have done several concerts together. They even worked together to raise money after the earthquakes that killed hundreds of people. The two have been recently scheduled to go on tour together, which should be starting next week. So the question that has plagued us all, is there any hopes of the two dating? Well just last night after a big concert, Kate and Seth shared a kiss in front of the Paparazzi and announced that they are in fact dating. Finally, some good news for Venture City!

Today it was discovered by our own Meghan Ripa that Jianyu’s CEO, Cassandra Baldwin, acquired her late father’s company, Sacramento Trading Company in his will that has been missing for 10 years. Before today, no one knew who owned the STC. It seems the transition will be a smooth and peaceful one. It would seem fate is favoring the small corporation tycoon as the STC has been quite the established trading company for over 30 years. For more, tune in Tuesday the 16th for a one on one interview with Meghan Ripa and Cassandra Baldwin.

According to officials, Mitsuhama’s police chief might have lost his super powers. The police department has tried to keep it under wraps for two weeks now but the secret is now out that Chief Butch Thompson, who could lift a car over his head now can barely bench 300 pounds. The chief is said to stay in good shape and takes care of himself and can be seen in a gym every other day on average. His doctors will not talk to us other than say he’s in average health. However, this seems to not be the only case in which something like this has happened. There have been rumors that other citizens in Venture City have been losing their powers as well, mostly in the Sprawl where it is difficult to confirm such rumors. A reward is being offered to anyone who comes forth with any information about what might be happening to these citizens.

Ever since the riot that occurred last month that resulted in so many businesses and individuals being both robbed and injured crime has been unusually higher than normal. Though quieter than the ’65 riot there are still muggers and thieves roaming Venture city. None of the police departments have commented on why they think the past month has seen more crime than usual but hopefully it will die down in the coming weeks.

Odd weather has been affecting Venture City for the last month. Though it isn’t particularly known for sunny weather, the city has not actually seen the sun since the 6th of December. Clouds cover the sky, often threatening to rain, however we have seen little more rain the usual. Meteorologists are baffled by the strange weather and have only one explanation. A new super must be behind it.
