[off the record: 10/16-11-5]
→ County Health officials descend on Repose after the first case of rabies is reported. They cordon off the woods and a town-wide curfew goes into effect immediately. Residents are encouraged to remain indoors and avoid all wildlife, and anyone found out after dark will be taken to the local jail, which is crowded with out-of-town officials. Special field offices are set up outside the local antiques store and outside the gates of Wainright Manor, and those areas are cleared out by on-loan law enforcement. The local hospital has physicians from neighboring towns on staff, and a temporary triage center is erected near the edge of the town's cemetery. The curfew and officials will remain until the threat has passed.
→ In the Capital, the funeral for the magician that held the Halloween party is finally scheduled. It's announced in all local papers and across the web that the service will be held at the Capital's old abandoned amusement park, The Jester's Court. The invitation promises food and fun for those attending, and the abandoned locale is enough to get a buzz going. The park has been closed since the 1970s, when two children disappeared on the funhouse ride. All rides are in working order for the length of the week, and the amusement park itself is a blast from the past. The music, the food, even the clothing of the carnies mirrors what it would've been on that fateful day back in the 70s. And if anyone goes missing on one of the rides, they're sure to find their way out before the park closes again at the end of the week.
