News: Power is coming back steadily across New Orleans, choosing the most fortuitous day to do so, in that the heat and humidity are so intense that the citizens would have likely suffered heat stroke without their air conditioners. Though the Fourth of July is generally a day for celebration in the US, most New Orleans citizens find themselves opting to stay inside because of the intense conditions and the fact that they actually have cooling systems.
Those who are braving the heat however, are for the most part unchanged, which is doing nothing to convince the changed population to leave their houses. The streets are lined with self-proclaimed ‘normies,’ who are preparing to go to fireworks displays and other Fourth of July celebrations.
A date has been set for the trial of Jon Mortis, the supernatural serial killer. He is to stay in holding until August 3rd, when the trial will begin. He’s being tried on four counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and two counts of assault. The worst case scenario will land him with the death penalty. Known witnesses being subpoenaed to testify are Samantha Mortis, Peter Mortis, Rebecca Mortis, Sebastian Alkwin, Theodore Combs and Kegan Ryland. Court will be convening after nightfall to accommodate witnesses and their families - and the judge, who has also succumbed to vampirism.
