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.

Yesterday it seemed every person in the Sprawl came out in a riot. Throughout the city stores, citizens, and homes were robbed. Reports show, however, it was not just Sprawl citizens that participated in this coordinated crime. Oddly enough no homicides have been reported related to the incident, though many people were injured and some people are reported missing.

After three months of a large chasm existing in the middle of the city, people were starting to get used to it being there. However, Saturday morning it seemed that the large crack simply disappeared overnight. Several minor earthquakes were reported throughout the city but none nearly as large or disastrous as the one that hit back in August. Of course, the damaged buildings around the crack are still damaged, some even more so with the reshifting.

Many speculate that it was perhaps an experiment gone wrong from Mitsuhama, but Mitsuhama denies any knowledge as to how the chasm appeared or disappeared. Others believe that a powerful super discovered his or her powers and has gained enough control over them in the last few months to fix what he caused. This scares most people because of the fact these earthquakes occurred world wide, to which, all other cracks around the world are gone as well. If there is a terakinetic out there with that much power, lets hope they are a good guy.

Yesterday, the terror organization PAS, tried to crash the festivities. They were stopped, however, by Mitsuhara’s supers that were on security. They could be heard yelling profanities and blaming the company for the huge chasm now defacing our city. Several protesters were arrested but their leader, Sarah Oswell, is still at large.

Venture City’s own celebrity is coming home to host a charity event to help raise money for those affected by the disaster last month. All proceeds will go to the Venture City Disaster Relief Organization, a charity run by Bright Sun. The same organization that helps to rebuild after supers damage the city after discovering powers for the first time, or after large gang fights break out outside of the Sprawl.

Rumor has it that Solar Man may also make an appearance to encourage people to donate to the cause.

The Fall Festival is scheduled to go on regardless of the damage caused last Friday by the Quakes. The Festival will take place on November 21st at the Mitsuhama Convention Center. There will be food for sell along with several bar locations. Each year Mitsuhama throws the Fall Festival to show its customers what they can expect in the upcoming new year and what changes will be made. Usually there is also a job fair where people starting their carriers can sign up for work.
