The Fireflies (6) : In the warm summer nights, little glowing lights begin to bob and dart through the city. Fireflies are mating, so this isn't uncommon in itself; in the past few days you've probably seen hundreds of fireflies. What makes these lights so unique is that they seem to change color; you might see a blue one, a green one, a red one. They flicker randomly, and something just seems off with them. If you come into contact with one, you will find yourself with a strange electric jolt. They cannot be caught, and will flicker away if you pursue too aggressively. This isn’t the first time they’ve appeared in Destiny City, but no one’s been able to tell where they came from or where they’re going. No matter how quickly you chase them, they always seem to disappear before you can find any answers.

it is 3am and you're still awake, the ghosts of the day's motions haunt your limbs
Hello, Destiny City. Good morning to the riser, farewell to the fallen. This is Madame Sindri, here to greet those of you in the between time. A dark and secret little space, full of whispers, drowning in minutes, a place just for us. And perhaps for today's sponsor as well. The 7-Eleven at Margot and 4th is still standing, open to all comers, day and night. Currently they are deliciously excited to bring you their newest flavors of frozen delight and desire: Childhood Regrets and Salty Grape.
Let the fear of missing out guide you to the doors of 7-Eleven today.

you're still awake and is this what you wanted? Will this fill your night enough to allow you a tomorrow? When will you end this waking moment? When will you let it go?
The Festival of Stars is well and truly upon us, my angels, and tonight brings it to the peak of its power. Tonight the midsummer of earth reaches up, up and out into the stars, clutching their children, crushing them into a beautiful glittering trail across the sky. Do you love it?
Do you love the creature of the reservoir's depths, come to play your children?
Do you delight in the fairies and ghosts drawn out, once again, by the city's revelries? Have you danced with one? Have you woken up the same person?
Have you approached the Merchant, with all his wares? Be careful what you covet, my fallen loves, the cost may be higher than you're able to pay.
This evening's fireflies spoke to me with their sparking splendour, and so I will pass on their year's wisdom to all of you, once more.
Red for the fate unavoidable. Go forth with reckless abandon, with everything and anything. You cannot make it worse. Caution will only make it less enjoyable.
Red for the soft rasp of the tongue. Be nice to your cat. Nicer than ever before. They're watching.
Blue for the ancient seeping of life and color. Blue for winter-before-winter, Killer of Fall. Something that was once creeping up is now rushing out. And toward.
Yellow for the sourness we so love with our sweet. Enjoy the irritations, the stings, the burns as they come and mark us. Touch them daily and remember that you are part of a cycle that knows no end, only different flavors in which to exist.

you must wake up tomorrow. You've seen into your future. Even if you fall asleep now, you will wake up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sor
Next, it's my delight to introduce you to a fascinating member of Destiny Citiy's midnight wanderers. But first, Graeme Revell 's Balinese Twilights.
The petite radio host turned to Lete, smiling with all the encouragement of Grandma-who-plays-favorites-and-that's-you. The studio was in the basement of her shop/home, filled much the same as the rest of the building: knick knacks, curios, and tchotchkes of all flavors and cultures. Sitting next to Lete was the Haunted Doll Corner. Sindri liked them around when she was on air, they were a great audience.
"You can talk about whatever you've seen, and give us any thoughts and theories without fear of judgement. We're here to believe."
When the music faded, Sindri hit the button on their mics, a neon purple ON AIR sign lighting up once more.
