Journal Entry 791

There are rumors that there was an attack at the Baron's mansion last evening. Indeed, I felt the City rumble around midnight, but I thought little of it. I've lived my whole life in this City, and very little surprises me anymore.

It doesn't make sense though. I'm aware of the growing dissatisfaction amongst the lower class. The Baron believes that he can replace men with machines and face no adversity. The people will riot, and he will order the dissension to be quelled. But an attack this soon? And during the summer festival dance? Thus far the rumors have been just that; I find it hard to believe that they would react this prematurely.

I sense a change in the city. I sensed it last night. Just adding to my doubt to the rumors.

Whatever the case, the City has a Way of righting itself, of Keeping balance.

I'm sure Garrett knows more about what happened last night. I expect he'll drop by later. Always loyally keeping this old woman company.
