-BREAKING NEWS-

Notorious club owner, used mattress magnate and all-round heavy, Cornelius ‘Brick Onion’ Onionssen, was discovered slain this morning. The Swamp was swarmed today with reporters as Onion’s body was taken from his club to his family’s crypt. A statement from the deceased’s lawyer was read at the scene by the club bouncer. It read as follows:

‘Mr. Onionssen had many enemies, due to his highly legitimate, successful mattress enterprise and the famously wicked parties ran right here at the Swamp. We all know that, since this strange mess we found ourselves in ten years ago, Brick Onion has hosted every serious somebody in this city, parlayed with every proper outfit, and negotiated all the biggest and most above-board deals in this here club. Cornelius knew the risks his perfectly legal rise to prominence would have. There are undoubtedly people ready to pounce on this sad, legitimate power vacuum left by such an upstanding guy. I only ask that if those same characters are planning on attending our upcoming soiree in honour of our late boss, they come shake my hand and do business in the good, legal way. Saddest regards, Dr. Man Sid, new owner of ‘The Swamp.’

When referring to ‘strange mess’, Mr. Sid is of course highlighting that climactic day in our city's history when the iridescent barriers fell from the sky and cordoned us off from the rest of the world. Since then, figures like the late Brick Onion have capitalised on the new and strange reality, turning downtown into a 24 hour club scene. The rise in sleazy dancing, organised crime and tentacled monster attacks are a sad bi-product of this new order.

We don’t know yet how seismic Mr. Onionssen’s murder will be to the power balance, but The Swamp’s latest party will showcase the who’s who of the underground scene. Reports indicate that Mr. Man Sid’s Ghosts will be providing security, with known associates Roy Savage & Iz.Wav also in attendance. The Cat Men Mob will likely be there too, alongside a number of nefarious dancing gangs. We will have a reporter on the inside, in order to provide you with the latest news.
