Wtnv quick rundown - 35 - Lazy Day
I promise I will do these forever, until WTNV ends or I die, whichever comes first.
No one has seen the trees this week. Hopefully they'll come back soon. Welcome to Night Vale.
The heat is unusually strong in NV today, making everyone feel lethargic and lazy, including Cecil himself. Others mentioned as going about listlessly include: Frances Donaldson (of the antiques mall), all reporters in town, Pamela Winchell (who can apparently create portals mid-air), people's entire bodies just giving up and causing them to die in the street and gravity itself which causes things/people to start floating.
The only one still feeling active is Carlos, who is mowing his whistling lawn, organising his closet and cleaning his gutters when he starts to float. How Cecil knows he's doing any of this is a mystery (or because of Cecil's special abilities~). It's possible that Carlos was unaffected due to not being from NV, but that's just my personal theory.
Intern Maureen makes Cecil aware that the sun is going out, he doesn't seem to have the energy/ability to really care though.
Eventually this laziness stops and everyone goes back to normal, including the dead people suddenly raising back up and being fine.
Weather: "Mijn Manier" by Brainpower, youtube.com/mcbrainpower
The Man ITTJ was seen behind NV's Taco Bell, next to the constantly ringing payphone, plucking insects out of the air and putting them in his suitcase.
Even though nobody could remember much about him, they still received a stamp on their 'alert citizen' card for reporting him. Five stamps means stop sign immunity for a year.
Jake Garcia has filled up three cards and thus 'earned the right to disappear forever'. His family claim they don't actually miss him that much, really. Apparently they want you to be alert but not TOO alert.
The SSP have an mascot, Barks Ennui. His appearance has not been declassified.
Tamika Flynn has organised a child militia of survivors of the summer reading programme. She carries the severed hand of a librarian on a string around her neck. She warns against StrexCorps 'Smiling God'.
'When asked to clarify, she challenged our reporter to a hundred days of hand to hand combat, which our reporter declined by running away screaming, pursued by hundreds of battle-hardened children.'
The Vague Yet Menacing Government Agency reminds us that reality is an illusion.
Thanksgiving in NV involves grovelling to the Brown Stone Spire.
It seems StrexCorp doesn't entirely trust how the radio works and encourages everyone to distrust the previously trusted.
John Peters (you know, the farmer) and Flakey O's are partnering up to create 'imaginary corn flakes'. Miranda Yesby, of the new board of Flakey O's directors, states they have no plans to do a big viral marketing campaigns (such as a transdimensional pyramid). She also has 'large, claw-like paws'.
Carlos had a busy day and is looking forward to a nap. It seems that Cecil is looking forward to joining him.
Stay tuned next for a keening howl, a scratch at the door, a hood falling suddenly over your face, and a delicious roasted squash recipe your family will just love. Good night, Night Vale. Good night.
