Weather Advisory
Greater than average humidity lingers in the air and makes the already hot day feel warmer than usual. Locals don lighter fabrics, cooling patches, and some use their temperators. Clouds loom over the sky throughout the day, seemingly the heavens casting a threat of impeding rain over the First Market, but ultimately never deliver. The clouds clear from the skies once more by the evening, and the humidity dissipates to reasonable levels.
Kujira is currently on a new moon.
Haya is currently on waxing crescent.

Daily Event Q&A
Informator
The commercial begins with a boy in Crab colors. He is holding himself in plank position, a determined look on his young face. It is raining. Hard.
Animated blue feet suddenly step in front of him. As the camera pans up, a grim-faced Crab Warrior, fully armored and with an enormous tetsubo, looks down at him. Slowly, he nods approvingly.
Crab Warrior: "KISADA KRUNCH!"
A series of cuts follow. In the first, the boy, still determined, is eating a breakfast cereal. The cereal seems to be relatively large, flat, square flakes. Exciting music plays .
Crab Warrior: "The cereal that makes you as STRONG AS THUNDER!"
The next cut features the boy hanging from a bar with his legs, doing upside-down crunches.
Crab Warrior: "ENDURE!"
The next cut features the boy grimacing and flexing as a slightly larger boy speed-punches him in the stomach.
Crab Warrior: "And GROW STRONG!"
One final cut has the boy finish his cereal, then suddenly stand, accompanied by the sound of crashing thunder. The cartoon Crab warrior gives a thumbs-up.
Crab Warrior: "A complete breakfast when taken with vitamin supplement number four."

Rumours
Hiruma 1: "You'll never guess what I saw yesterday. A SPIDER!"
Hiruma 2: "Oh, eww. Did you trap it in a jar and let it outside."
Hiruma 1: "No, a Spider. Like, the clan! At the Governor's party last night!"
Hiruma 2: "Oh. Ewww! Wait, was it Susumu Yakumo? She's sooooooo cooooool."
Hiruma 1: "No, it was just some small woman!"
Hiruma 2: "EWWWWWWWWWW!"
Hiruma 1: "Yeah, I wish I could have trapped her in a jar and..."
Hiruma 2: "Let her outside?"
Yasuki 1: "Did you see the Governor at the party last night?"
Yasuki 2: "Uh, yeah? It was her party. People were giving her gifts, remember?"
Yasuki 1: "Yeah, but did you see who she was talking to?"
Yasuki 2: "Who?"
Yasuki 1: "A Mantis!"
Yasuki 2: "No!"
Yasuki 1: "Yes! She was batting her eyelashes at her, too!"
Yasuki 2: "No... wait, which one?"
Yasuki 1: "Uh... both! Just... both of them, flapping away, all flirty-like! It was eyelash city!"
Yasuki 2: "Ugh... that's how our Governor spends our taxes, flirting with a Mantis..."
Yasuki 1: "Yeah! She should go govern... a boat!"
Yasuki 1: "Speaking of the party again, did you get rained on by cards?"
Yasuki 2: "You mean by the Imperial?"
Yasuki 1: "Was that the Imperial?! I thought it was an alien encounter or something?"
Yasuki 2: "If you thought it was aliens, why didn't you alert the magistrate or something? You can get in trouble withholding information!"
Yasuki 1: "Look, I thought it was a personal experience. I felt so strange that I thought it was only in my head."
Yasuki 2: "..."
Yasuki 3: "Sigh..."
Yasuki 4: "Did you just say 'sigh'? What's up?"
Yasuki 3: "There's this girl..."
Yasuki 4: "Of course there is. Who?"
Yasuki 3: "Yoritomo Ochiba. She's just so awesome!"
Yasuki 4: "Isn't she a real hardass?"
Yasuki 3: "Yeah, but that makes her even more awesome! Maybe if I charm her, she'll pick me up and carry me back to her ship... and then offworld to her other ship..."
Yasuki 4: "... okay, yeah, that would be pretty awesome."
Yasuki 5: "Ugh, these invitations were supposed to go out yesterday."
Yasuki 6: "Sounds like you've got a problem. And that problem needs fixing."
Yasuki 5: "Why are you saying it like that?"
Yasuki 6: "Oh, I just heard about a new fixer in town. Kitsuki Ichitayo."
Yasuki 5: "Do you even know what a fixer is?"
Yasuki 6: "Uhhhh... fixer? I hardly know'er!"
Yasuki 5: "Get out."
Hiruma 3: "Hey, it's Ichiro's birthday tomorrow."
Hiruma 4: "Yeah, I know. We should get him a cake or something."
Hiruma 3: "Oh, go to Crabkaku. I hear they have really good cakes."
Hiruma 4: "Do they?"
Hiruma 3: "Yeah! Crabkaku, Crab Cake...u. It's a bakery."
Hiruma 4: "That makes sense!"
Fisher 1: "Did you know? Greatsharks are solitary creatures! They don't have families! Not even decent creatures! They just roam around the oceans, picking up mates and partners here and there without a care. That's probably why there are so many of them!"
Fisher 2: "Okay, grandpa, let's get you to bed now..."
Yasuki 7: "You know, when I flew over here, I really expected the governor to be some bloated fisher sea hag."
Yasuki 8: "You're telling me, for some island in the middle of the ocean, this place isn't so bad."
Yasuki 7: "Actually, I think she's kind of hot."
Yasuki 8: "..."
Yasuki 7: "...Maybe she could even be a modern-day Lady Stringray!"
Yasuki 8: "This is my stop, I'll see you around."
Yasuki 9: "Umiko-chan is so kind, friendly, and congenial."
Yasuki 10: "We're not supposed to call her that anymore! She's the governor's karo now."
Yasuki 9; "I'm sure she doesn't mind, we still see her on some of the Aoi48 flashbacks on the Informator! I hear they're going to be replaying Inferno House again!"
Yasuki 10: "Miss me on the Aoi48 stuff...but Inferno House was pretty decent."
Yasuki 9; "I think I saw her trying to get people to volunteer for the First Market."
Yasuki 10: "Oh shoot, I forgot! I'm supposed to be supervising my nephew today! Gotta run!"
Fisher 3: "What was that commotion that was happening on the docks last night?!"
Fisher 4: "I don't know, but left quite a mess for us to clean up. Good thing we made quick work before the samurai could blame us! Torn cloth and ash everywhere!"
Fisher 3: "It must be those damn teenagers! Too much time on their hands!"
Hiruma 1: "Did you see? The little Dragon, Tamori Kanna, managed to impress the governor the most last night!"
Kuni 1: "Oh yeah? What did she get her? A waterfall? Or a roof?"
Hiruma 1: "No! It's like some sort of divination shell thing or something."
Kuni 1: "Cool."
Hiruma 1: "Maybe you should get some of your own, you look like someone who could make use of them."
Kuni 1: "I'll just warn you now. I don't know how to use divination shells..."
Hida 1: "See that Spider last night?"
Hida 2: "Which one?"
Hida 1: "The perfume one."
Hida 2: "Yep."
Hida 1: "Wild, huh?
Hida 2: "Yep."
Hida 1: "..."
Hida 2: "Would."
Hida 1: "Yep."
Hida 2: "Yep."
