+++Thought for the Day+++
Those who act in honor cannot fail.

The night brings no respite and the morning is just as uncomfortable as the previous evening. By the noon (Early Afternoon) most locals are huddling indoors. The air is heavy with the smell of decay and older people can be seen and heard coughing violently all around the city. The evening (Early Evening) is slightly cooler and some life returns to the streets.

The moon is in its third quarter

Today the Miya News and Entertainment Network is streaming re-runs of the 'Starlight Miko Crusaders, original series' at 'Late Evening' time slot. Characters may either watch the broadcast on the screens of their hotel rooms or on the screen in the common room of the Wisteria Inn. Characters with densai or similar device may watch the movie wherever they want, though the image quality will be questionable at best.

Starlight Miko Crusaders, original series
Several episodes of the Starlight Miko Crusaders are rerun, spanning the story arc in season 23 where the Miko from each Clan faceoff against a new set of villainesses who are followers and worshipers of Lord Moon, the Dark Moon Sisters. Each devious sister has been gifted with corrupt crystal that grants them powerful psychic powers and presents a great spiritual threat to the Starlight Miko Crusaders!
