July dawns warm and sticky in Repose. The days average a warm 85 degrees, and the nights remain balmy, with temperatures in the mid- to upper-50s. It rains daily, usually in the afternoons, with the skies going dark and thunder booming until the clouds clear in early evening. Sometimes, on very warm days, there is no rain, and the humidity makes everything damp. Other things of note for the month of July:
→ Something very bad is going on with the family residing at the southernmost tip of the lake. They haven't been out for days, and strange sounds begin to come from their house at the beginning of July. Neighbors report growling and crashing, and nearby residents swear they've seen inhuman shapes on the roof in the early evenings. The first week of the month, unmarked cars come to the house in droves, and a For Sale sign goes up the following morning.
→ The Facility, after a period of quiet and good PR, is fully operational again. Pamphlets start going up around town, offering good money for residents interested in helping test a new sleep aid. Should someone volunteer, they'll spend weekends at the Facility for the month of July. They share rooms with one other, and they are treated well and fed well during the study. Sleeping aids are provided, and effects range from very vivid, vibrant, shared nightmares, to peaceful and deep sleep. At the end of the month, the study closes. The pay is substantial, and NDAs are required. Some of the medications may have long-lasting effects on subjects' sleep.
→ In the Capital, there are reports of the library in the university being haunted. Books fly off the shelves during the evening and are found strewn about when the morning librarians arrive. The books scattered are always romance novels, oddly enough, and some ghost hunters swear the library is haunted by a young woman with dark hair and a penchant to curl up in chairs to read throughout the night. Should anyone sneak in to spend the night, they might encounter the ghost, who has a tendency to fall desperately in love with whoever she comes into contact with, and who is unwilling to let the objects of her affection leave.
→ The Super Prison, located on the island at the far end of the Capital, is filled to capacity. Various newspapers report that a new building is being created on the island, but there is no confirmation by the county that this is true. However, scientists are being sought locally to assist with a project to aid in containing a more varied type of supernatural beings. Said scientists are also required to sign NDAs, and the pay is exceptional for gifted men and women who can provide assistance. If the assistance is supernatural in nature, then a waiver will be issued, which provides immunity from arrest to the scientist in question.
