TIME UPDATE

Weather: A heavy mist clings to the ground all through the day, with the sun being only a vague circle visible in the sky. It is a cold, dank day, with the mist making everything damp.

Events: The parties and events of the weekend are over as the city settles into another working week. The news - both in the Echo and the newsreels at the movies - are full of a battle lost in the war overseas, though there are no details of exactly where, or how many lives were lost. The cathedral holds a special sermon midmorning to comemorate the valiant dead and wounded.

Babylon stands empty, the police lines still barring entry to all, though someone has been up and supplemented these with boards nailed haphazardly across the entrances and windows. It's not a very good job though, and they could be easily removed.

The underground is buzzing with the news that the Giacomo family has put out a bounty on the head of one Arun "Johnny" Tang. $5000 if he's brought in alive, $3000 if he's brought in dead. The is no information for exactly why they want him so bad.

Dreams: The world turns and is divided by the seasons. Those in the northern hemisphere are experiencing their coldest months, and with the recent disasters, many people have found themselves without food and power. In some areas people are quietly starving to death, but it is only a handful who stand up to even attempt to complain about this. Of those, many are shouted down by their neighbours, who see any complaint as against the new and accepted way of life. It the warmer climes and southern hemisphere, these problems are absent and life continues as normal.

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