Nikita Weymann Astonishing Archaeology Findings in New Toulouse

After reading about the recent archaeological finds in Caledon, New Toulouse's amateur archaeologist has made an astounding find of his own. It seems that while excavating near the west end of the Connolly Aerodrome, Mr. Phineas Messmer found telephone cable at a depth of one foot. Upon reporting his find, Caledonian archaeologists determined that a fully functional telephone system was present in Caledon fifty years ago, thus predating the invention of the telephone by Mr. Alexander Graham Bel… Continue

Nikita Weymann New in New Toulouse: How a Voodoo Queen Found Her Crossroads

It all started when I was about five. My father was a big James Bond fan, and I was in turn a big fan of my father's, making me a tiny Bond fan too. One Christmas Day, my dad and I settled down to watch the first TV screening of Live and Let Die, and I was smitten. My mother always had a keen interest in the darker side of life, including the taboo religions and the Tarot. She is part Gypsy and has a romantic fascination with the mystical. Consequently she has a lot of books. I started t… Continue

Nikita Weymann Huge Pileup on Rue de Rhum

A prominent unnamed resident was involved in a multi-car pileup on Rue de Rhum late last Tuesday night. He drove his vehicle into Miss Carricre Wind’s truck, and a few minutes later, he was struck by the streetcar. Unhurt, he walked two doors down to his house, but not before delivering a fantastic story: “I was driving home from Karima’s Bar, nothing special, when I saw this black form peeking into windows. A furtive little thing, dark, maybe two, three feet tall. Not a zombie, thank God, like… Continue

Nikita Weymann Shantz: Man About Town

It's not about me, silly—it's about the town. I will be visiting various establishments in New Toulouse and reporting on my impressions. Today I am in the Faculty Tea Room located on Ruelle Royale adjacent to William Wilberforce Community Park on the campus of YB Academy in New Toulouse. I walk up the stairs to the second floor above the gallery. Reaching the top, I gaze around the room, noticing the circular carpets and exquisitely designed wicker furniture, which immediately expresses… Continue

Nikita Weymann Mama Said: A Chat with Carricre Wind

Just after sitting down to begin this interview, Carricre Wind stands up and produces a shotgun. "Ah, hell," she says and goes across the patio to dispatch a zombie that has just rounded the corner of the café. She receives some appreciative comments from the folks sitting around and having coffee ("Nice shotgun!" "Quick draw!") as she makes her way back to the table. Carricre Wind—known as Mama Cree among the residents of New Toulouse—made that gun herself. A nicely detailed and scripted doubl… Continue

Nikita Weymann From the Editor's Desk

The modern newspaper editorial is a dud. It has no pep and less vitality. It is just words, words, words. Few read it, and none pay it attention or give it heed. That is why I have agreed to write one. Many recent changes have come to town—the terrible conflagration in Algiers, the sudden influx of new visitors, the increase in musical offerings, the shakeup in city government. We believe that change is good, generally, and we see a bright future for New Tou. We look forward to the proposed ne… Continue
