Announcement

We here at the Tungsten Tribune have decided to make a public announcement about how we will be purporting a specific aspect of our business. We have always proudly advertised for businesses and persons of the utmost highest caliber. The classifieds have always been open to the public beyond our sponsored advertisements for any and all to use, however that will be changing.

Due to recent events we have elected to hold our classified advertisements to the same standard as our sponsored advertisements in that we will be taking at least a month to verify classified advertisements. This will not affect the current backlog of classifieds, but all new and incoming will be subjected to verification.

A second change to this rule is one we do not take lightly and has been decided on after much thought. This will not come as a surprise to some, but recently one of our journalists has come under suspicion of being behind or involved with the Lady Luck Killer. The paper would support this journalist only in so far as to not be unseemly, however we will not tolerate games being played at his expense. Not at anyone’s expense, even if trying to find a known and feared serial killer.

That is why we have elected that from here on we will not be advertising (sponsored or classifieds, from here until the future, for personal use, business use, or election use) anyone involved with the unlawful false reporting to the police in regards to the staff of this paper, forceful kidnapping (whether by the graces of the Governor or not), or persecution of those whose religious beliefs do not align with yours - theologically or politically.

There has been enough corruption in this city. Now is not the time for mob rule, mafia or otherwise.

We must stand against the terror in our streets, and attacking innocents in vigilante methods as opposed to letting the police handle it is not acceptable by any standards.

The Death of Religious Freedom Came Not Quietly In The Night, But In The Stage Lights With Thunderous Applause

Tungsten has existed for long enough that we have seen many types of thinking come and go. We’ve seen our fair share of injustices and fights for equality. Today, however, we must bow our heads to the death of personal freedom. If you’ve been following the news, gossip, or just about anything recently then I am sure you know about the serial killer called the Lady Luck Killer terrorizing our beloved city. Over the past years you’ve no doubt also come to learn of the political rivalry of Felix Collier and Amadeus LaFontaine. You’ve probably also heard of the TorchBearers and their “good deeds” around the city that have sought to relieve some of the aches we feel in our financial and health burdens.

So it’s easy to see that some people (mainly those aligned with seeing LaFontaine staying seated in power) might find Collier and those who share his political and religious ideals to be a tad… strange and off putting. One wouldn’t be too surprised to see smear campaigns coming out against Collier and the “Torchies”. However, one might be surprised to see the current seated Governor using his power and authority to send a literal witch hunt after Collier and the Torchbearers for being involved with or being the Lady Luck Killer.

As much as this might sound like a smear campaign idea in and of itself, this is exactly what we see happening right now in our beloved city. By all accounts this appears to be a situation of someone in power using circumstantial (at best, and nonexistent at worst) evidence to tie and link his political opponent due to fear that the next time he threw his hat into the political ring the votes might be in his favor, especially after such a close election last time.

To make matters worse we have seen new decrees come down from the city council and the governor saying that the Torchbearer religion is now illegal, and sending citizens into a mad dash to round up any and all that subscribe to that religion. The outcry has been dampened by the terror of a serial killer committing ghastly and horrific crimes across the city.

This turn of events comes from the governor “taking things into [his] own hands” after the police tried and failed to find the killer originally. One cannot help but think that this move has more to do with politics than with the cities’ welfare. Especially when the council, in open and public intra communication channels, have referred to the victims and citizens at large as “votes” in reference to the damage the killer had done.

We believed that freedom meant that we could put those in power who would do what was best for us or in our interest. We believed we were free to live and love as we pleased. We believed that we could worship how we wanted. Instead we find that our freedoms are controlled by those we put in power - and who seem to want to stay in power for the sake of power itself, and not duty.

Let’s remind them of their duty, because if we don’t - it’ll be too late. Remember: Democracy Dies In Darkness.

Dear Quinn, I am head over heels for this great guy that I work with. He’s absolutely brilliant, and I admire everything he does. Recently, I think he might actually have been flirting with me? I know he’s got someone else he’s interested in, though, so I’m not sure. Maybe I’m reading too much into things. How do I tell if he’s really into me? -Unrequited?

Dear Unrequited, While it is possible that you’re just projecting and seeing what you want to see in his actions, it’s equally possible that maybe he’s taken notice of how you feel about him and decided that a love like that is worth pursuing. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot by convincing yourself it’s not possible that he returns your feelings. Have hope! If he’s flirting, be receptive. Maybe flirt back and gauge his reactions. You’ve got this! -Quinn

We here at 'The Tungsten Tribune' are delighted to report of the safe return of Dr Bartleby after his grueling ordeal in the hands of 'The Lady Luck Killer'. Bartleby lost part of one of his arms in the ordeal, suffered cuts on his back, ligature marks on his feet and was injected with anticoagulants, resulting in significant blood loss. He is currently being held at the 'Eastside Municipal Hospital' where he is in a stable condition, and good spirits.

We will endeavor to bring you an interview at a later date, but currently we are respecting the Doctors privacy while he recovers from both the physical and mental scars of what he has endured.

Thought of the Day

“There's a saying that we have in the Stags, it comes from way back, and is in high english, which is a pretty garbage language but translated it essentially means "There's always darkness before the fire is lit, but when it is, take heed that it does not consume the camp". Essentially, we've been facing some strife within the past few weeks in our city, I've been hit by it pretty hard myself, but I just can't bring myself to succumb to that sense that I should just give up, because at some point I know that that fire is going to be lit and it will warm us with the love of prosperity. So in honor of those who I've lost yet, I continue onward towards tomorrow. I have a life to lead. I have the Black Stags to lead, my Black Stags, and none of this is going to slow me down. But then there's the second part of that saying. Essentially "Don't get too ahead of yourself" in that weird, metaphorical, cryptic way that only Stag elders talk in. I think that's the crux of the whole thing. While I strive toward tomorrow, we should seek to not forget about the camp. We must keep the present stable while we seek the future. But even still, even with that holding me back, I'm going to push. We all need to push. “ - Lexi Oppenheimer

Advice

Hey Quinn, So I've been having a big problem lately. I'm trying to get some decent sleep so I can be well-rested for finals, but with all the big things that've been going on recently, I haven't been able to sleep for a while. I'm exhausted, and as well as being worried for my safety, I'm worried about my grades. Should I stop being so paranoid, or just move out to the farlands and see if the ghosts will take me in at this point? Either way, thanks for the help. -Sleepless in South Tungsten

Dear Sleepless, I know things have been tough for all of us during recent events. But we’re strong. You’re strong. I have all of the faith in the world that you can ace your exams and go on to do great things with your life. There’s certainly no need to retreat to the outlands to escape your problems. Try finding a trusted friend that you can stay with for a while. I can say from experience that, during these trying times, not being alone goes a long way towards having restful sleep. Good luck to you, and to all of Tungsten City. -Quinn

Feature Article

An Update On The Lady Luck Investigation

When last you heard from us, here at the Tribune offices, we wrote of the now-infamous municipal terror, known only as the Lady Luck Killer. To briefly recap what we already know, it all seems to have begun with a cryptic ad run in this very paper- “What comes to be served, must be served. Midnight. Under Luck’s. Knock Thrice.” We could not have known, then, that things would progress as they have. Shortly thereafter, I, myself, received a disturbing and cryptic email from one who has confirmed themself to be our murderer-at-large. You can read about these events further in last week’s edition of the Tribune.

Since then, many more things have happened. Both myself and my colleague, Dante Niccals, who normally writes these articles, have been held in police custody under suspicion of involvement in these horrid events. A young man by the name of Porter Fellows was found to have been stabbed, and the letters “LLK” carved into his flesh. On this poor boy’s clothing was found, somehow, one of my own hairs, as confirmed by DNA analysis. I have, obviously, been cleared of suspicion since this event, or else I wouldn’t be here to write this article for you all, but this gives me particular pause. This killer seems to be going out of his way to frame as many others for their murders as possible, presumably to disguise their trail. Even more concerning - how on earth did they get my hair? Who could this person be, that they would have access to such a thing?

But I digress.

Continuing with known facts, the body of missing person Beverly McMillan was dumped at Bar None, announced over the Intra-City Communications Network by one using the alias “Lucky Lancaster.” My colleague, Dante, was present at Bar None and was the one to call in the police report. He was taken into police custody, as his presence at the scene was deemed suspicious, but has since been released on bail, pending further investigation.

The most recent development is the kidnapping of well-loved local therapist Bartleby Beaumont. This “Lucky Lancaster” seems to have challenged the citizens of out City to some sort of game in exchange for his return, with his implied torture and dismemberment as punishment for not following the “rules.”

Tungsten City Police Department has issued an official statement that rounding up this Lady Luck Killer is their utmost priority, and LaFontaine Industries Citizen’s Police has made a statement to the same effect. It is this journalist’s opinion that, despite their claims, I have seen very little evidence of their efforts. I only pray that we are soon relieved of this looming terror. -Quinn Curry

West District Fire; UPDATE

Nowhere near enough time has passed for us to recover even a little from the fire that took over West District, but enough time has passed for eyewitness reports to start coming out of the woodwork. From these reports we have received a description from the TCPD for our citizens to look out for from here on out. We would like to say that this report is unfortunately vague, but it is what we have so far. Please keep an eye out for: Male, between the ages of 25-40, height between 5’7”-6’2”, weight around 140 lbs, dark hair - light facial hair. The suspect was seen wearing dark clothing, including gloves, boots, and a hooded coat. An eyewitness claims that he was “entranced” by the flames, thus why they called in the report. Please keep an eye out, citizens.

Council Considers Removing Iconic Ship After Second Incident

Tungsten Parks Council is considering removing the sunken ship from the lake at the East District Children’s Park after a second incident where a child went into the water to swim to it. The child in this latest incident, whose name was not released, was taken to the hospital after being rescued from the lake by her older brother. A fence was recently erected around the lake, but the child was able to climb it.

As a reminder, the lake is not intended for swimming.

Announcement

We were unsure of whether or not to announce this publicly, but have been given clearance by the Tungsten City Police Department to do so.

Last night, we received a package at the Tungsten Tribune offices which contained two severed hands. Both hands appeared to have been detached from female bodies. “Bodies,” plural, as both were left hands, and both wore wedding bands- one silver, one gold.

Under scrutiny by the Coroner’s Office it has been confirmed, though the assumption was obvious, that the two hands were from different people.

We can only assume that this is a message from the “Lady Luck Killer.”

We at the Tungsten Tribune pray that our City is soon rid of this scourge and that he is brought to justice.

The Lady Luck Killer

“What comes to be served, must be served. Midnight. Under Luck’s. Knock Thrice.”

This classified advertisement showed up in the Tungsten Tribune’s Sunday Edition. Although a bit creepy, the cryptic and innocuous ad was ran, being sold as a “mystery dinner” setting for those who might find their interests in the occult side of things.

Who could resist a mysterious message and a midnight rendezvous at a location known to be one of the more cozier jazz joints in the city?

More on this in a moment.

“What are your opinions on the bountiful crimson nectar which crashes through our veins and into our hearts? Don’t you love how it drips how it drops how it sparkles and shines. Truly a wondrous sight, don’t you think? I know the Tribune is busy. I’ve arranged for you to get a helping hand. Or two. Enjoy!”

This e-mail was sent to the Tribune’s own Quinn Curry, from “Dear Quinn”. It came from the address “shedlightshedblood@innocent.com”. At first this was thought to possibly be a joke, and some, myself included, thought it might be an act of self promotion on Quinn’s end.

This e-mail stirred up some citizens and sent them into an e-mailing frenzy with the unknown sender. Word began to spread that this was some sort of serial killer, and was quickly dubbed the “Lady Luck Killer” by those connecting the e-mail with the mysterious classified ad mentioned earlier, although no connection had existed at the time.

The police were made aware of the e-mails and potential threats, but insisted there was no reason to suspect that any of the recent killings were connected - or that any kind of serial killer could be operating in the city walls without their knowing.

And then I received this…

“I have quite a scoop for you. Might want to direct the coppers to Lucks. Someone decided they wanted to knock knock knock. What came to be served was served.”

I quickly called the police and informed them of the e-mail. They assured me they’d send a patrol over to look into. Meanwhile I was on my way out the door to rush over to Luck’s.

I arrived in scene to find the place swarming with cops, and surprisingly few onlookers - but it was early in the morning. Darkness still lined the street where the street lamps couldn’t reach. Lights flashed on the walls and in the eyes of those curious to see the spectacle.

Now I bring us back to where we began: Knock Thrice.

Serina Millington, aged 23 years, found herself at Luck’s with her friends for a night of jazz and drinks. At some point in the night she separated herself from her friends and made her way outside. She was last seen by an onlooker entering the alleyway next to Luck’s, bringing her to the entrance to Luck’s basement.

The basement, according to the bartender, was once used to smuggle illicit goods into the city before the current Council sat. While apart of the building, it has a seperate entrance and no connections to the upper floors.

We don’t know what happened to the young lady with the dazzling red hair and sharp blue eyes that could catch you off guard from across the room, but what we do know is that her life ended much shorter than it should have - and in such a frightful way as to keep me up for the rest of the night.

Knowing now what I know, the state which young Serina was found, I have nightmares that it could have been my friend and coworker, Quinn. Or that it could be any number of people I care about.

As it stands the police have no true M.O. for the murderer, who we believe is now claiming this to be his second murder, but we do know “he” likes to take things from his victims. This time it was a left pinky and a right eye.

Stay vigilant, citizens.

More information will be released as we find out.

This article has been updated several times over the last 24 hours as new information has come out or been released by unnamed sources within the police department and the coroners office.

Body Identified The woman who was found washed up dead on the river shore beneath the Blank Boulevard Bridge has been identified. Erin Harris, 38, was identified by her dental records, as she had been found without clothes and her hands had been cut off, rendering fingerprint identification impossible. Ms. Harris was known in the area for her work with the disabled and disenfranchised. In a strange twist, Ms. Harris was recently released from Founders Memorial Hospital, where she had been known as Ariel Doe and was a person of interest in the disappearance of Beverly McMillan.

Dear Quinn, I have become friends with the woman who held my job before me. We email every few weeks, trade books and have lunch quarterly and on our birthdays. She is 75. I am 38. Recently, her health has been in great decline. She is battling breast cancer, and I believe she has dementia. She forgets to eat, which has led to her passing out in public places and being hospitalized for malnutrition and dehydration. She is looking frail and more unkempt each time I see her. My family keeps telling me she isn’t my business. Should I just keep offering to help her when I see her? It just doesn’t seem like enough. — Worried Friend Dear Friend, It sounds to me like this woman is very lucky to have you in her life.

Fire Takes Out West District A fire took place this past Friday in Tungsten’s West District’s Westside Downtown area. Sources inside the Fire Marshal’s office report that the cause of the fire has been determined to be arson, although the City Council has requested that a secondary investigation take place to “confirm” the Fire Marshal’s original reported cause before the report is to be publicly released. Another source has confirmed that the devastation of Friday’s fire will cost the city somewhere around $1.5 billion credits in reconstruction fees. This total, however, is only in regards to rebuilding businesses and homes that were destroyed. Our source in the council’s offices are saying that they will not be reimbursing any civilian’s personal or business property beyond the buildings themselves. The same source has also reported that this cost total does not include the cost for repairing the now damaged or destroyed air filters from the smoke and ash. Air quality in the West District is feared to decrease substantially until the repairs and replacements can be made. Lastly we were able to secure a final number of deceased victims of the fire from the coroner's office. The death toll has raised to a total of 150 people. The causes of death vary between simple old age unable to handle the pressure of the situation, to smoke inhalation, to being trampled, to being caught and unable to escape the fire. This is indeed a sad and unfortunate event, but hopefully with some help we will be able to rebuild and move on. With a little luck will also see the person or persons behind this troubling crime caught and forced to stand for justice. More information will be released as we get it.

Sources have not been named due to ethical standards and concern for their safety - both physical and career wise.

Business Spotlight “Bar None”, owned by Kitty Garcia

Bar None is the most happening part of West District’s nightlife. It may look small on the outside, but Bar None is much bigger than the sum of its parts. In addition to a full bar, staffed with skilled bartenders, lively (and sometimes live) music, and delicious food, Bar None also boasts a basement wine cellar and a cigar humidor. Kitty encourages everyone to drop in for a bite, a drink, or a smoke, any day of the week. She’s almost always around the bar, making sure things are running smoothly and gracing the public with her pretty face. (She didn’t tell us to say that, it’s just the truth.) She’s still working on getting her website back up and running after the recent server downtime, but you’re welcome to visit her at https://kittygarcia.wixsite.com/barnone

Thought of the Day: Local Chefs Share Their Favorite Cocktail Recipes (4/4)

“But of course, one must have a Sazerac. Take a teaspoon of sugar, four dashes of bitters, and a few drops of water, add to your mixing glass and dissolve the sugar. Add two ounces of rye whiskey and ice and stir for half a minute. Gently pour a teaspoon of absinthe into a chilled cocktail glass, rotating the glass until well coated. Strain the rye from the mixing glass into your serving glass and enjoy with lemon peel.” -Chef Jérémie Dutoit, The Governor’s Ballroom

Advice

Editor’s Note: Dear Quinn is the Tribune’s new advice column. If you would like to have your questions answered in this column, please send them to our blog here, or email them to tungstenbot@cybergal.com.

Q:  Dear Quinn, I keep running into bandits whenever I leave the city to visit my family in Turquoise City. I’ve been robbed more times than I care to recount, and I’ve just stopped carrying anything of value with me when I go. It’s very tedious, and expensive! How do I commute without getting held up? Please Advise, BADGERED BY BANDITS

A: Dear Badgered, it certainly sounds like you’ve got a situation on your hands! I didn’t realize that the route to Turquoise on foot was so treacherous! If I could offer you any advice, I would say you may be better off taking LaFontaine Rail on your next trip. I know the tickets for inter-city travel can be pricey, but I think you’ll be a lot better off spending the extra credits and saving yourself a headache. Good Luck! -Quinn

Q: Dear Quinn, Six months ago our oldest daughter’s husband, “John,” walked out on her and their two kids (9 and 7) for another woman. Since he left, it has become obvious he is an alcoholic and not the person we thought him to be. He quit his job. He tells her he is trying to get a job, but nothing has panned out. He is not paying any support. What should I do? Please Help! Thank You, AT WIT’S END

A: Dear Wit’s End, I’m sorry to hear about your family’s troubles, but it seems like your daughter really dodged a bullet by getting that man out of her life. As stressful as the situation must be, I would certainly take that as a net positive. Seeing as it’s already been six months, I would recommend you file a lawsuit against him in your local District Court. It might take a while for the paperwork to go through, but he obviously doesn’t intend to pay, anyway, so this may be the fastest route. Best of luck to you. -Quinn

Missing Persons Case Takes Bizarre Twist The case of missing person Beverly McMillan, 41, took a strange turn this weekend. A woman, thought to be Ms. McMillan, was found early Sunday morning deliriously wandering near the Blank Blvd. Bridge and taken to Founders Memorial Hospital for treatment. When the family of Ms. McMillan arrived, they quickly informed authorities that this woman was not Beverly McMillan. Fingerprint analysis confirmed this. 

The mistaken identity was caused by the fact that the woman was carrying the identification and personal effects of the missing woman. Designated Ariel Doe, the patient is still confused and unable to answer questions.

Outrage Over West District Food Poisoning Scandal West district resident and business owner Lenore Gilliam apologised today after it was revealed her West Rd café was responsible for 3 different cases of food poisoning in the past 6 months. Ms Gilliam, who is responsible for running the popular café, admitted that "We weren't on top of the cleaning, what can I say?" during an impromptu interview after leaving the city council. Last week, representatives from the Department of Public Health reported the equipment used to prepare the food was not cleaned properly, and an infestation of cockroaches was left untreated, resulting in the growth of bacteria that caused the food poisoning. The report stated, " live cockroaches were seen crawling through raw ingredients that were then served to customers". It is unknown how long the 'Westside Café' will remain closed, however regular customers are voicing their displeasure. "I don't care if they found a couple of roaches in the kitchen" said west district local Mavis Knapp. "The next closest café is two f*g blocks away!" All 3 victims of the food poisoning have been released from hospital and are recovering. Meanwhile the Tungsten Department of Public Health has stated it "will conduct more regular inspection of local cafes and restaurants in order to prevent incidents like this happening again".

All bad things will eventually come to an end. In the same way, all good things must also end. So, for this week at least, let's stop focusing on how everyone you love and every happy experience you will ever have is limited and fragile, and instead focus on every bad thing that will inevitably happen to you, and the fact that these things too, will somehow end. Everything is limited, the universe does not discriminate between such mundane things as good and bad events.

The Community Theater's performance of 'Gone in Daylight' will be running nightly for the entire month. Tickets are sold at the door.

Thought Of The Day: Courtesy of Tia Burton

"I sometimes wonder if the wind is following me. I feel it's hot breath on my skin, and the slight tingling as the hairs on my arm stand on end. It's funny how even the bustle of the city isn't powerful enough to distract from the wind!  It's silly I know, but I feel like I'm being watched whenever I feel that hot wind on my way home from work. Is that normal? Do other people also feel this way?, I might just me going crazy!"
