TIME UPDATE

Date: Wednesday, January 12th

Weather: Another cloudy day in the city - though the sun actually threatens to break through in the afternoon. Doesn't actually properly make it, but it threatens.

Events: The Echo today has printed a ton of big headline news! In fact, it's even printed today with extra pages, due to as many big stories as are coming out. There are several names splashed across the front page, vying for dominance with the news that the police ended the killer's reign of terror in a shootout that ended with the killer dead. Commendations are being handed out to the officers involved, and there's expected to be a grand party thrown in their honor in the near future.

The names, well, those cause a stir in the city far and wide. Some are politician's names, some are well known Syndicate players(mainly O'Malleys!). All are thrown up together and in conjunction with one another. It's clear that there's going to be investigations launched all over, especially with the dirty dealings indicated in the articles. The source has been kept 'confidential', but the paper professes that it's all going to be followed up on.

Due to the paper's articles, the Syndicate has been in an uproar since the early morning. The ranks diminish by at least a quarter, just due to lackeys being killed because they weren't trusted. Beyond that, everyone's nervous, and everyone's talking. Who was the rat? Who even had all of that information? No one's sure, but interrogations are starting bright and early in the higher ranks.

Dreams: The celebrations of the Prophet's birthday continue today - one day apparently doesn't seem to be enough and the world keeps celebrating, though the continuing celebrations are all unofficial. There's no organisation to them at all.

And tonight something has changed about the dreams. Whereas until now the Wakings have all experienced individual dreams, now it seems that sometimes those dreams are shared, though the dreamers would not be aware of that. What this means is that two Wakings of the same type (ie Commons, Spires, Tides) may experience the same dream, though from different angles, being that they would still be seeing the dream through eyes which are not their own. For example, two Commons Wakings may experience the same dream, but as different 'characters' within that dream. Neither Waking would be aware that another dreamer is sharing the dream though.

If you have any events or anything going on which you think warrants a mention in the time update, please let us know!
