Astor Ridge

( Found in the King family's mailbox )

DATES:

February 27, 2011 - March 5, 2011

BIRTHDAYS:

Rose and Basille King - February 28

Nina Montgomery - March 1

WEATHER:

The usual. The week starts out extremely dreary with lots of rain and thunderstorms, but maintains a temperature of around 40°F all week. Homes on the edges of Destiny Falls will even begin to flood in the basements and the like, but luckily the residents of Astor Ridge will remain unaffected.
EVENTS:

Things are surprisingly calm at Astor Ridge this week, or maybe it just seems that way in comparison since the discovery of Amy Gerald’s body has sat Destiny Falls (a bit) on its ear. Strange how none of the details of how she was found made it to the public, isn’t it? Strange that how, apparently, the official medical report states that Miss Gerald was killed in a car accident, despite the findings by the staff of Destiny Falls, and the rumors circulating amongst those few residents that witnessed her body being removed from the building.

Residents can expect to be blindsided by reporters looking for any and all insight and information concerning the death of Miss Gerald, but are strongly cautioned against speaking out of turn or divulging anything. Astor Ridge is a community founded on privacy, after all.

No lottery this week, so feel free to have your characters do as they will!

DATES:

February 20, 2011 - February 26, 2011

BIRTHDAYS:

None

WEATHER:

Whoever decides the weather must’ve once again figured out that Spring is still a month or so away, and the temperatures fall to between 20°F and 30°F all week once more. There’s also not a lot of sunshine this week, leaving most days damp and dreary and feeling colder than they actually are.

EVENTS:

After the massive hubub of last week and the attempt on everyones behalf to settle back in, there aren’t too many obvious shenanigans this week. And while it appears that the prankster has gone home, it leaves the building wide open for things that have been occurring all the while that others may have been too busy to notice.

The first and most obvious thing is the smell of rot that begins to permeate the second floor, leading the Astor maintenance staff on a hunt of what could be the culprit. Lei Campbell will awake in the middle of the night to find a large chunk of blonde hair matted with blood stuck to her bathroom door.

Kenny Simmons will discover a hole that’s been dug behind some bushes in the gardens that is definitely not part of the landscaping and upon investigating further, will find a set of women’s pajamas - ripped in places and covered in stains - buried.

Remy Bridges will be sent to investigate a bit further in the vents, and find chunks of what appears to be ground hamburger leading to a vent that is attached to a currently empty staff apartment. Mark Eisenhour will investigate, and find the spoiled, missing huge chunks of flesh below the neck body of Amy Gerald - Cuppa Joe’s missing barista.

This will bring the cops to the building, most notably Officer Brady who will check in with Adrian Reznick with a warrant while he is there and feeling like being an asshole. The discovery of Miss Gerald’s body will be kept as quiet as possible. An autopsy will find that Miss Gerald died of a heart attack, and suffered various attacks - including rape - before she died. Those living in the building that were close to Amy will be questioned.
