Prologue

"Hello, my name is Saiuki Oranako with this evening's news at nine. All traffic to and from the Lost Ground has been temporarily shut down due to another seismic uprising. The current height of above sea level is a staggering four inches higher than before. In relation to this incident, we have received information that many altar users on the lost ground have lost the ability to use their powers. Whether this affect is permanent or temporary is still unknown. Nasque's research has been terminated for the moment due to safety reasons, sending many researchers back to the mainland, including Diplomat Kiryu's daughter who is said to have been at the breakthrough of the research development. The Toy CO. has released it's new Happy Happy Monkey item, that makes tons of fun noises, is very fluffy, and even has an optional banana throwing option. This has been Saiuki Oranako with this evening's news at nine. Have a nice night."
