Channel 5 News Special Report!
This is a Channel 5 Action News special report!
As the battle rages on, we\'re going straight to Shadowglen Councilor, Connor Rainsong, who has some pertinent information to share:
“It’s me! I’ve been wor-r-rking as fast as I can, and things are getting much clear-r-r-rer. It’s definitely the offer-r-rings! Spir-r-r-rits want to know that they are r-r-remembered, but they’ve been left neglected for too long. Whatever-r-r the pir-r-rates and Jaxon wer-r-re doing seemed to be the bar-r-re minimum, but when Jaxon took his vacation and couldn’t leave out any offer-r-rings, it was the final str-r-raw.
These spir-r-rits are taking matter-r-rs into their-r-r own hands, and for-r-rcing themselves back into our memor-r-ries. It makes sense that they star-r-rted with the pir-r-rates, who have left offer-r-rrings in the past, and Quentin, who has a closer-r-r connection with death. I bet that if Jaxon would answer-r-r the door-r-r, we would confir-r-rm that he is feeling the effects of it, too.
I wonder if Kiyo is too far-r-r gone? Her sor-r-row seems to have turned to anger-r-r…â€

I really enjoyed the battling aspect of the plots Subeta puts on for us to do and participate in. Never a dull moment.

Something appears in front of you, but vanishes before you can really understand what you are seeing. You feel exhausted, though  perhaps your eyes were playing tricks on you.
NOOO! Not again D:

What if Kiyo wasn't an evil spirit from the beginning and battling her made her angry and we're the bad boys after the plot? :O

Whoa, what was that!? You could swear something rushed at you, but there’s nothing around. Suddenly, you feel very tired.
Really? Refreshed on the news page and I guess Kiyo wanted the final word on our battle xD

This is all Jaxon's fault! No more vacations for him! Though the plot was fun, especially the battling!

So this is all Ian's fault! Dang it Ian. you just had to mess around with Jaxon's ghostly status.

Congrats to whoever beat her. I just wish I hadn't handed in a last batch of expensive items to Mathis five minutes ago...

I got 15 battles in this last wave xD i refused to wake myself up early to battle when it started at 2am. I was mid battle and suddenly she had all her hp back and i was like x.X uh and then the battle ended and i was told someone else defeated her. Lol just my luck i would have loved the xp from that one

Frozen. Twice. In the final moments. When I actually had a chance at the final blow. How I hate you, Kiyo :(

After reading some of the complaints about Connor's stutter, thanks. For some reason I now am picturing it's actually an echo as he is standing in a cave or something.

While I like Connor as a character, these Rs are starting to be so annoying to read. It gives me a headache.
I take the news as transcribed instead of a live video report (because they are, well, written), so it becomes unnecessar-r-ry. Heck, I stutter slightly in RL but I don't write like how I talk.
Back to the event, I bet it would be like with cute little Tempest: taming the anger and sadness into peace and all-ended-well.

Also agree with the less-is-more comment from Therapos.

We want to calm her, not to make her hypertensive. :(I submit as an offering to Kiyo the collective snarky criticism of every effort staff has been putting into this event. Because, damn, all this salt from the userbase might as well be good for something.
Seriously, comment of the year though, thanks for the laugh.

But for reals though. I understand why not remembering the spirits made them so angry; it really is a natural reaction in the grief cycle. "Why does no one remember me? Was I not important? That can't be right..." leading into "How DARE they forget me? Forget us? We'll make them remember, we'll make them never forget again!"
Its pretty sad when you think about it. There are a lot of people out there today that feel similarly, I imagine, that nobody remembers them or the one or two people that did suddenly vanished. It a pretty rotten way of living, so I can only imagine the grief these spirits must have - forgotten by the living, spurned by the dead!

@Hoshi has the right idea, but if we're doing human sacrifice, I've a few suggestions on who to go first >:3

Connor don't tell me you've forgotten the stages of grief now. She'll end up on acceptance eventually.

Apparently someone has nothing better to do with their time.
I've always seen these as live news reports that you're supposed to hear... and people are correct, these would be transcribed as they are spoken if there was captioning.

Quote by Therapos:
I liked this take on the whole stutter debate (from here)
This is pretty bad. Maybe half or one third of the extra "r"s and the occasional note in narration when he's really struggling with a word would read much more smoothly. It's like how, if you want to write a character with a Cockney accent, you can just write something like "'ow are we supposed to read that, then? Bit tricky, innit?" and the audience will get it - and still be able to read it. Less is more.

let me guess, the r-r-r-reporte-r-r-r-r is filming with that 1995 camer-r-r-ra 'r-r-r-round his neck ?

@InSaNe
I've always imagined the Channel 5 News Special Reports as being televised, therefore not really written, and you're hearing the stutter, not reading it (unless you have captioning on and then yes, the stutter would probably be transcribed).

To anyone who's having trouble with the "Talk to Mathis" thing not showing up
It wasn't working for me until I went to talk to Connor again, so maybe that has something to do with it. Make sure you visit Connor between each crafting, I guess?

We never did finish the Pete challenge. Kiyo probably missed out on the food. Now she's become a hangry monster. #shouldvegrabbedasnickers

I have trouble speaking and I think seeing someone who also has trouble is kinda awesome ?
I also like seeing accents ?
It shows that not everyone in these worlds is 'MURICAN and has no issues ?
But no, no we don't just stutter with one letter, it's a spectrum

Why is it that all these news posts have been telling us stuff about the plot that we could have EASILY had delivered in the plot steps themselves? Why is this even a plot if it's all information-dropping at the last minute?

I like to imagine the news news posts are actually television news, and we see a shaky recording of a cameraman who sneaked into Connor's office and got him by surprise :P

"it's as if the reported who made the news post really had to write down everytime the poor man stuttered" Just fyi, court reporters have to transcribe stutters and words exactly as people say them.

She wouldn't be innocent and defending ourselves doesn't mean we are the 'bad guys' here. It also doesn't mean they are exactly evil.
I WANT TO HELP HER THOUGH I LIKE HER. I will cuddle and love and keep her safe forever and ever.

Just wondering, what is the point of this news post? I feel like this is information that we've discovered already. No new information has really been added with this. Like yes, obviously the spirits are attacking and Kiyo is angry. And?

Ok so they are upset for the lack of offerings. Except we then gave them offerings...So now why is she still upset?

@boxcutterbaby I know, I said on the forums last night/this morning/whenever that staff just likes to make us beat up innocent NPCs in the name of plot prizes >:(

@Cerex that was explained in the last news post.

He-r-r-r thoughts and feelings can affect the living, it says. Though I don’t fully under-r-rstand why, we’ve been cur-r-rsed with something called the Sor-r-r-row of Kiyo - that’s why everyone has been getting so exhausted and pale.

I fuckin told you people Kiyo was innocent and we've been beating the crap out of her for no reason

spirits are angry because they aren't being remembered and forcing themselves back into our memories
