Test run for hypothetical public superhero game.
This is Sci-Fantasy world! Where real life logic need not apply. After a city-leveling fight between two alien powerhouses is over, the city has somehow been rebuilt off panel before the following morning's rush hour. And superheroes don't fret about recurring villains getting out of prison for the millionth time.
Why just yesterday, a nefarious group of cultists hyjacked the annual summer parade and made it into a halloween / day of the dead style spectacle complete with people's souls being devoured by giant ghastly parade baloons. Then the heroes arrived and put a stop to the dastardly plot!
Today, those same victims are back to work, apparently not in the least emotionally damaged beyond, "Wow! What a scare!"
