Welcome New Neighbors!
From all of us here at the Committee for Community Correspondence (CCC), we’d like to welcome you to Phoenix Town!
As you may well know, our community has seen a rapid rise in our population since The Fall (of the american empire)…(formally known as the End of Empire)…(or EE). Anyway—many of you have stumbled upon Phoenix Town accidentally, hidden away as it is in a remote part of this scorched former-country which sits against the spinning face of our flaming future-former planet. Whether you ran, hopped, skipped, jumped, crawled, slithered, rolled, or cartwheeled your way to us—we’re glad you made it safely and can’t wait to help you settle in!
Speaking of which, here are some community tips and things you should know:
Absolutely no whistling between the hours of 7pm and 7am.
Use caution when leaving pies on your kitchen window sills.**
Do not talk to the trees, they do not wish to speak to human life at this time.
Town Hall meetings will now take place every first Saturday of the month from 9am to 10am in the Phoenix Town Councilpersons’ Lodge on the corner of Heath & Vine.
The Community Suggestion Box has been relocated to a more discrete location on the bottom shelf of Councilperson AJ Hollis’s nightstand on the left side of the bed. Please see the town directory provided for you for the address to Councilperson Hollis’s house (pictured here below for easier identification though the Councilperson notes that you can’t miss it as it’s the only house at the end of Nomi’s Landing)!
**The Ghost of Harriet Tubman will take off with pies left on window sills or otherwise easily accessible locales.
Neighborhood Watch — “Let rest teach you to be stewards of a new thing…”
This week’s message from Neighborhood Watch was channeled by LaTonya King*
Every threat has fallen to its knees. Corporations performing as country have become dumb vapor. All the air that passes through your hair is silent. Still, We have watched and seen that you are unconvinced that the danger is behind you. Looking over your shoulders in your sleep. Looking to the horizon for trouble when you’re awake.
Rest now, as this new world is running right to you. Let rest teach you to be stewards of a new thing, a better thing, a humane thing.
We love you. You are seen and sustained.
—Your Neighborhood Watch

Horoscopes, July 3 | by Sade LaNay
New moon in midheaven, in Libra. The hermit wields two swords. Temptation overcomes the star. The chariot travails with weakend strength. Death rises to meet every face you meet. Ten wands whittled from prickly ash. Fall in love with a teacher. Build a home on the moon. Grow twinberry and gentian. The chart culminates in a stellium of ginger coins and wild yam discs.
This Week’s Community Action - Rest. Do it. I mean it. Right now or else! Phoenix Town is under a 72-hour rest mandate, which went into effect 5 minutes ago. All residents are asked to stop whatever you’re doing, and SIDDOWNNN SOMEWHEREEE!
Neighborhood Watch is watching.
We don’t know what the consequences will be—and we don’t want to find out.
