It's noon in Taxon time. The artificial sun is shining down its ever benevolent (if questionably legitimate) rays on the city, the sky is blue, the Extras are bustling, all is normal (or as normal as Taxon ever gets, at any rate).
Anyone who steps outside in the next few minutes, however, will see an unprecedented and possibly unnerving change start to take place in the sky above them. At first it's just an odd chill, maybe a barely perceptible fading of the light, a strange dimness. Before long, however, there's the unmistakeable shadow of clouds forming, dark and brooding and sudden, until they cover the sky in its entirety, swallowing the sun whole. The Extras begin to hurry inside, urgently, as if ushered by something or someone unseen. All is still and quiet.
The chill that embraces Taxon in its slightly clammy arms will, before darkness comes, solidify into a cloying, stubborn fog.
The night will be long...
[And so it begins, mwuhahaha! Hauntings won't start until tomorrow, but if you want to have your characters react to the change in climate in this post, go nuts. >:)]
