Would you like to hear a tale of adventure, intrigue, magic, and treachery most fowl?

If not, too bad! Shut up, sit down, and listen!

New York City, Manhattan, 12/31/13

Why does trouble always seem to start in NYC?

Ah...Manhattan! On New Years Eve, no less! A time of dancing, romance, theater, watching the ball drop at Time Square, stockbrokers trying to squeeze one last penny out at the Exchange, venders hawking useless souvenirs to gullible tourists, and of course, trying to stuff down one more infamous NY hot dog-

ZAP!!!

Or it would be a great moment if the people weren’t busy looking at all the corrupted clocks that refused to acknowledge the New Year-

BOOM!!!

-Oh, and now the whole “Not wanting to die in the middle of the massive earthquake that was now shaking the entire continent” thing too, of course.

“Oh, boy.” Whistled an old man looking over the holo-globe as it went to defcon-1...

“Oh, Goodie!” Said the odd person wearing a monocle as he rubbed his hands with anticipation.
