The New York Oracle

The New York Oracle is a fortune-telling tabloid in New York, five pennies a copy, and it has been running for over twenty years. Its pages are a jumble of current events, advertisements and urban legends, and they often carry the warnings of OSIC and the doings of Fairfax Industries. Its reporter Allie Kincaid once sat down with the occult magnate Maximilian Fairfax for an exclusive interview.

“Come friends! The New York Oracle isn't just the news… it's a glimpse into the future!”

“朋友们，快来！《纽约神谕报》不仅仅是新闻……它还能让你一窥未来！”

“The New York Oracle: bringing the future to the present for over 20 years”

“《纽约神谕报》：20多年来，始终引领未来潮流”

The paper’s tone has always been tongue-in-cheek. With a perfectly straight face it asks whether ice wights are secretly servants of Santa, and it reports that Grey Talon is looking to give “the gift of murder” this holiday season.

“Are ice wights secretly servants of Santa? The New York Oracle investigates”

“寒冰幽灵是否暗中为圣诞老人效力？《纽约神谕报》对此展开调查”

Nearly everyone of note in the city has turned up in its pages. Infernus is a beloved bartender at Jezebel's; Johann Geist, the late husband of Lady Geist, is to have a special gallery at the Museum of Modern Art; Dynamo gave an exclusive interview on Astral Gates, the Eclipse and what it’s like to live without a body. Wraith has made the paper as well, under a headline asking whether she is wearing a Santa hat because she lost a bet, or because she is full of holiday cheer.

Bebop, Ivy and Viscous have all been the subject of its stories, too. The editorial staff even issued a formal apology for a headline that encouraged hexes for the holidays.
