Hi fans, it's Alice Kyra. I know it's been a while since anything's been on this feed, I've been meaning to record this for a few weeks and have been avoiding it. As you might surmise from the title of this message and the prolonged hiatus, Unlabelled AP will unfortunately not be continuing. 2020 was a really rough year that's left some of the cast with new health issues and some of the cast with new priorities that need their energy so as much as it pains us, collectively we can't keep producing the show. There are one or two more episodes of Unlabelled: Origins that were recorded and might be uploaded when we're able to get the energy to edit them, but we dont have an estimate of when that could be yet. We are so so thankful for everyone who's listened and shared their excitement for our podcast, and we hope that you'll continue to support the cast in their future endeavors. Unlabelled has been Danni as the GM and Pharallax the Eternal, who can be found @battidanni bea as Jupiter Rising and Purple Empress, who can be found @spacedoobie Mina McJanda as composer, primary editor, The Green Knight, and Red Queen, who can be found @minahoneybat And me, Alice Kyra as occasional editor, Crash Override, and Mandrake. and I can be found @magicalgirlkyra

Landmark: The Superhero Museum. Details to come... Phoenix Academy, a floating academy training powered youth from across the world. Landmark: The Dominion Dome, the school’s arena. Address: Where the Sports Happen. True Name: Featureless white sphere, adaptable inside to allow a variety of sports, homoerotic subtext. Hazard Engine, a giant robot once piloted against the city, now disarmed and reclaimed as a part of the city. Location: The Bridge, the robot's old control centre now used for municipal council meetings. Address: In the robot's head. True Name: An awesome view, the weight of responsibility. Resident: Malcontent (she/her). Filtered voice, sharp suits, hidden identity, energy absorption powers.

True Name: A valley of bureaucracy, the quiet of power, a lack of food options. Events Second Event: Civball!

Consequence: Malcontent does well and garners support. Consequence: It's a fun game, but City Hall catches on fire a little bit. Opinion: It's time for us t o put Civball away, it's getting too rowdy. Opinion: If we put Civball away, any goodwill left in city hall will die. 2nd Perspective: Malcontent shrewdly used civball to draw public attention to the affordable housing debates in city hall.
