Schoony was today (Thursday 27th October) unveiled as the new Battlehawk Commander, returning to the role he had left in August. A delighted Schoony broke in to song, parodying A-ha's The Living Daylights. "Combat standard set so high! Battlehawk, it’s time to fly!" , before expressing his sorrow that real life had reared its ugly head for his predecessor Charanya. "She did an excellent job putting the pink back into Battlehawk. I was totally letting it slip into fuchsia. I am really excited about our new class of boot graduates!"

"She felt his hot breath on her ear as he leaned in close to hiss a message: 'No one can help you. Give it up, Snake Commander, or I'll devour you.' "

Lucy Daniels has published a new exciting serialised story, with part two coming out tomorrow (Friday 28th October). Read it in Malton's West End forum.


"They were there, the four of them, asleep in front of him. <font-color=FF4500> Yeah, they’re asleep and alive, asleep and alive… not dead at all… I can see them breathe… </font-color> He slowly approached the first one, a girl wearing a dark purple ballgown. Oh hell I can’t see her breathe at all… He reached for her neck and checked her pulse."

Dark Watch's tale, the search for Morri, continues in the RP playhouse.

On Tuesday the 28th October 2008, English TV station Channel 4 opened up Big Brother 10 just a month after the end of its hugely successful ninth series. Britain was hugely passionate about the show and they demanded more. Interest in becoming a contestant was vast with more applicants than ever before for a reality game show.

In an alternate reality, you didn't get quarantined in Malton and you never became part of the cursed City.


But fate has a way of catching up with you...
