Nuns with Guns: Separation of Church and Awesome Breaks Down
In a shocking turn of events, an unnamed local newcomer was discovered to come from a life filled with violence and gunfire, doing battle against giant birds on dense city streets. While this seems to be about the norm for most of the people here, what makes this case so unusual is that the perpetrator of the violence is, if her outfit is any indication, a member of some kind of religious organization! The implications of this are staggering, most notably with regards to the role of religion in the daily lives of Mement Eden residents. Can we allow this kind of stylish violence to coexist in the same church being attended by small children? A question of serious debate, which I leave up to our readers.
Local Shinigami Declares War on the Forest
While normally bearing himself with grace, peace, and comedy, Memento Eden's chief resident God of Death was seen last week on some kind of insane anti-plant rampage, smashing a tree to the ground with a single chop! Investigation into the motivations behind the attack are underway, but until then, we can only speculate: Were sinister spirits hiding in the forest? Is the God losing his mind, confusing tree with foe? Does Shinigami hate trees? Until this is cleared up, we recommend not bringing any sort of plant life too close to him, for your own safety.
Mass Amnesia Spreading to the Present
Many brows were furrowed in concern earlier this week, as Memento Eden's trademark amnesia effects seemed to begin to creep into the present, rather than locking away just our pasts! An entire day's worth of memories vanished from everyone on the island, replaced with nothing more than a dull headache and a series of surreal and poorly-remembered dreams. If this continues, our crack team of scientists forecast that by two years from now, we won't even be able to remember what we had for breakfast! While this may be troubling, the Bunbunmaru News team cautions you all to remain calm, and hope the problem goes away on its own.
Suspicious Shrine Sighted Near Edge of Town
Near the edge of town, a traditional shrine was recently erected, for extremely unclear purposes. The claimed purpose was to protect some place called "Gensokyo," but since that place isn't anywhere on the map, it obviously spells trouble. The manager of the project, known delinquent Reimu, has spent most of her time since its completion demanding donations, leading us to suspect that the shrine may be a front for some sort of organized extortion operation. If it is, however, it's not very successful.
