Happy April Fools
Reports are coming in from
BNN NEWS As reported by Sherry the Mouse. Meteor Slams into Farmer’s Field! At 7:05 A.M. local time a small meteor crashed right into the heart of Britain’s western farms. Intrepid reporter, yours truly, has been on the scene all morning taking reports from witnesses and interviewing one “Waldo the Rancher,” whose field is now home to a large, brownish, spherical ball of potential doom. “Thank the Virtues it did’na land on me roof!” Waldo exclaimed during the interview, “At least ‘tis mostly harmless, I gather. The guards from Britain be coming though to investigate ‘gardless though.” ![]() More on this story as it develops, brought to you by the Britannian News Network. BNN NEWS Special BNN Correspondent: Say 'Cheese!'

Re: Happy April Fools
This is Sherry the Mouse, reporting live from the scene.
A large crowd has gathered around the perimeter of the meteor. A few have snuck closer to the crash-site to take away souveneirs in the form of small rocks, while others are desperately trying to cast spells on the fallen rock. ![]() The local Britain government has advised the crowd to stay ruly and stop casting spells on strange objects; a special squadron of soldiers is apparently in route to set up a formal barrier sometime soon. Until then, this is Sherry, live in Britain.

Re: Happy April Fools
Explosions rock crash site!
I can't believe it! Explosions and gouts of flame have pushed back both the guards and crowd from the meteor's perimeter! What manner of portent is this? Even now the Royal Militia has been put on high alert and the local guards are awaiting reinforcement. Do they know something we don't? ![]()

Re: Happy April Fools
I... I don't know how to describe this. This is beyond all experience!
The meteor, after a giant flash, began glowing and hovering over its resting place. I'm told that all cities in Britannia have been put on a special alert, and an envoy has been sent to Tokuno to apprise the Empress of the situation developing in our beloved homeland. ![]()

Re: Happy April Fools
There were several more short reports which were rushed in on scraps of paper No time for pictures! Something's happening! The meteor has crashed back into its pool of lava and turned pitch black! I can almost make out cracks on its edges... more coming soon! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Large cracks are appearing all over the meteor. Some sort of sound is coming from inside, a keening, awful sound. Guards are closing in. Everyone has been warned to stay back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I... I don't. Just run, RUN! Half the crowd has been burnt to ashes by some sort of magical fireball wand that the creature is holding! The militia is returning fire but the blows are simply glancing off. GET AWAY FROM BRITAIN! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Sherry the Mouse, reporting live from the treetops near the field. I have an unparalleled view of the horrors unfolding here in Britain. A giant, red, monster has appeared from the depths of the meteor. Against all probability, it has destroyed the militia and set fire to much of the surrounding area. It laughs with a horrible laugh and, and, I think, I... oh, OH NOES! I think it's spotted me! There was no more news for some time ,and after anxiously waiting,it was feared Sherry had met her fate. It was rumoured that all around could be heard a ghostly wail OOoo oo OOoOO OOO OoOOO. Oo OooO. OOoOo Oooo OOoO. Eventually though,I am pleased to say,all was well and a final message was received some time later. This is a freshly resurrected Sherry the Mouse with the latest news on the invasion of the meteor monster now! Here is the latest painting from the scene: ![]() Along with an artist's recreation of the monster: ![]() April Fools! Thanks for the fun !! ![]()
