Cult to Scientists: "Freedom for the Beanie One!"
Written By Fallout

It has been a few months since a falling beanbag terrorized a crowded marketplace. The beanbag, formed in the likeness of an Arctic Vix, mysteriously fell from the sky last June and caused mass panic and chaos until it was seized by Officer Coppa and turned over to scientists for further study. It remains in their custody to this day, undergoing various scientific tests with overcomplicated names to try to determine its enigmatic origin. This is a situation that local cultists, “The Followers of the Beanie One”, hope to rectify.

Believing the beanbag to be an extraterrestrial entity that fell to Mistica from space after its spaceship exploded, the Followers have been protesting outside the laboratory for months now, hoping for the release of the “Beanie One” as they have come to call it. Various picket signs sport slogans such as “Freedom For the Beanie One!” and “Aliens Are People Too”.

“The Beanie One spoke to me in a dream last month. He said, 'Get me out of here! This box they're keeping me in is dark and I'm bored!'” the cult leader said in an interview. “How would [the scientists] like it if they visited an alien planet and got locked up in a lab and experimented on?”

Another cultist interrupted the interview and shouted, “He wants to phone home!”

The scientists aren't willing to bend, however. They claim that they are close to a scientific breakthrough that could prove that the beanbag materialized from thin air as the result of a time travel experiment and plummeted to Mistica from there. “This beanbag isn't any more an alien than I am a tea pot,” the scientist said. “Obviously the only logical solution is that it came from the future!”

The scene has attracted many spectators. Many have taken to passing out fliers in support of the Followers and their cause while others are just there for the free food and entertainment value. Even the local loony, Crazy Carl, showed up to the scene to cheer the cult on.

Two local petitions have sprung up to try and free the beanbag from the evil clutches of science and place it in the hands of the cult who promises to help it return home. You can sign these petitions at either the bulletin board at Officer Coppa's police station or at the local post office where Maury has warily allowed the second petition to be hung on his wall. “Seriously. I still don't know where it came from,” Maury said defensively when a reporter asked him his opinion on the incident.
