Worrisome news from Terajin – Months after the Wizards’ rise to power and a promise for a harsher, swifter approach to lawbreakers, rumors of a daring jailbreak are floating through the streets.
“Mindin’ my own business, I was,” said local prostitute “Loosey” Lina, in describing the event. “Forgot to pay me bribes, so’s I had to two, mebbe three my way out of this’n. Then boom, there’s a hole in the wall, and this lil’ slip of a girl’s tumblin’ out of it. Good thing, too – I’m down to me last toothbrush, and I’d like to save it for when it counts.”
“Me not see her around before,” said Loosey’s hired Denqi, Greta. “She might be new hooker to town. Good luck finding a corner,” she added, in reference to the recent overstaffing of prostitutes in Terajin. “Her pimp nice, though. One-eyed guy with white hair. Gave me new hat.”
This news comes on the heels of a garbage fire started in Merchant’s Lane, rumored to be a silent protest of the city’s repeal of the garbage removal policies, leaving local merchants to deal with their own waste. This apparent weakness in the ruling class, along with the Wizards’ implementations of many unpopular policies, might mean yet another political upheaval in Terajin. The Herald will report any breaking news on this matter as it happens.
