The Multiversal Network of The Calling

Good afternoon and welcome. I am your host, [ crackle static hiss ], coming to you live from the top of the McAran Tower and bringing you the current events from our wide and wonderful Seven-Fold City.

[ ...the jingle sound is more like a thump today. ]

[ The speaker for the day seems to sound nervous, and it's clearly not the usual announcer. They also seem to be reading almost directly from a card. ]

Hello, listeners. This is [ *static* ], filing in for [ *static static* ], reading off the news for the Seven-Fold City.

The folks over at McAran Tower are running their annual expo this week, showing off the latest in communication, teleportation, chronoportation, and AI technology here in the City of Tomorrow. Badges are available free at the front desk for interested parties and CALL devices users would be especially interested to know that there's a whole booth dedicated to CALL device development for interested parties.

Down in Shadow, St. Jude's is doing their annual thrift market for the next couple of weeks, offering space for folks to sell their old belongings with a percentage of the profits going to help finance the church's work. If you have some things to get rid of, or you're looking for an interesting bargain, it's not to be missed.

Kingsport University is offering a few free summer classes for those interested. The offered classes include Esoteric Runes Through the Ages, 13 Mad Poets You Shouldn't Read Out Loud, How to Survive a Tentacle Attack, You Know You're a Fishman When... and lots lots more. Knowledge seekers who don't have a terribly high regard for their personal safety should definitely check it out.

Over in Sorcery, it's hatching season for the dwarf dragons in the Dark Forest. Wise travelers are advised to watch their food and supplies if traveling through the City. They're also warned to keep a watch on their things to ensure that a baby dwarf dragon doesn't stow away. They can grow up to be as small as a cat or as large as a horse, but they start small, after all. [ Inherent offer: pick up a baby dragon! ]

Apparently, Phi Upsilon Kappa is having a wet t-shirt cont--

That is not news and I'm not reading it. But beware water balloons, togas, and of course, flamingos anywhere near Laughter.

ANYWAY, reports have come in that strange howling noises and soft weeping has been heard coming out of the Temple of the Ancients. No one is quite sure why or how or when, since it doesn't seem to be consistent or continual, but if you feel a shiver going up your spine around a strange looking temple, well... there you go.

And lastly, it appears that there's a Love At First Site in Nicholson Park. Reports are disagreeing on the site, exactly, so it might be best to avoid the park entirely if you don't feel like falling into a potentially temporary love with the next person you see.

Which finishes up the broadcast and can I go now, please?

[ *quick silence* ]

Oh thank goodness. So now there's going to be music. Enjoy the music.

[ The speaker's voice is smooth and low, friendly and appealing, though also somehow nondescript. He is The Man on the Radio, and he's here to give you your newscast. ]
