→ The summer heat disperses, and Repose is left with beautiful days in wake of the sticky summer months. The air gets cooler, and the breeze that blows through the trees feels almost magically refreshing. And something else happens as the heat is ushered out of the small town: Fireflies appear. The fireflies light up Repose's night sky, as if drawn there. It's a beautiful display, and residents who venture out late in the evening, when the town is shuttered up and asleep, get a light show like no other. The fireflies dance every night, almost as if performing, before disappearing into the new fall cool. Residents spread blankets on the grass and turn their faces toward the sky.
→ In the Capital, two teenage runaways wander into the local precinct claiming they're from 1700s France. After an extensive psychiatric evaluation, the teenagers claim to have been living in a book in the old Vade Mecum library. The library, which features non-fiction books and letters from various time periods, and which has a strict policy of all reading materials remaining within the library itself, has been inundated with visitors since the teens made their unlikely claims. No similar cases have been reported, though, notably, two visitors who signed in at the front desk 48-hours earlier have not been seen since.
→ There's something loose in Repose. Unseen by any of the town's residents, there's a small creature causing mischief. It steals small items from homes, scampers away with food from counters and plates, and it sounds like a small monkey. The creature climbs into open windows and down chimneys, leaving small-scale chaos in his wake. The creature doesn't try to hurt anyone, and even the things it steals are tiny. It leaves a breeze in its wake, and if your rings or chicken nuggets go missing, this invisible mischief-maker is probably the reason why.
