- Orson Vile ~ Storytime with Space Devils

The Crazy Old Wizard In The Garden
Orson Vile is a rogue journalist and poet who roams the cultural fringes of The New World, contributing irreverent critiques and absurdist satire to The GarbAge in his regular column, Neon & Noise. Often seen with a rolled smoke in hand, his habits raise eyebrows in a society where cigarettes no longer exist… unless you're a Deadender.
What is Orson smoking? Interpretations vary:
A Deadender Cigarette: He picked up the habit while covering their gritty club scenes—blending in to expose the chaos.
An NEP-Laced Roll: A spiritual journey via a mild hallucinogen, aligning him with The Mystery’s seekers.
A Smart Vape or Herbal Blend: A throwback image, modernized to suit The New World’s health ethics.
When asked why he smokes and what exactly it is, Orson Vile just smirks, takes a slow drag, and replies:
“You want the truth? It’s not some old-world cancer stick. This is an NEP-laced roll—picked it up in a back-alley club where the Deadenders hang. Helps me slip into their headspace. Let’s me see the cracks in this so-called perfect society, if you catch my drift. Could I smoke something else? Sure. But the ritual, the burn, the glow... it’s all part of the experience. It’s a doorway into that raw, unfiltered side of The New World we pretend doesn’t exist. And if anyone asks, I tell ’em I’m just breathing in the story.”

The Hurrahs (Estranged)
Spotlight: The Hurrahs – “Estranged”
The Hurrahs are a psychedelic power-pop explosion of youthful optimism and engineered harmony. Their debut single “Estranged” became a hit among teenagers in both Citizen and Deadender sectors, an unlikely bridge between polished utopian cool and underground rebellion. But are they real?
Nobody knows for sure if The Hurrahs are human or engineered. Rumors swirl that frontman Cosmo Boom doesn’t blink, and that Melody Blaze’s keys resonate with biometric frequency patterns...
Signed to Strawberry Records. Available on Bandcamp and ReverbNation. More music rumored soon.
Stay tuned for our upcoming Groovelines exclusive: “The Hurrahs: Rainbow Noise for the Next Generation”.

🥁 The Drummer (far right, blond, striped jacket)
-
Name: Ricky Rocketson
-
Backstory: The clean-cut heartthrob of the group, always late to rehearsal but never misses a beat. Spent his early years building percussion rigs from discarded tech parts in Neon Row.
-
Known for his signature move: twirling his sticks mid-fill while chewing strawberry bubblegum.

🎤🎹 The Frontman (far left, spiked red hair, star glasses)
-
Name: Cosmo Boom
-
Backstory: Glam-cosmic energy in a human body. He’s the unofficial stylist of the group and insists on designing all the stagewear. May or may not be an android repurposed by Strawberry Records from a defunct game show host bot.
-
His star-shaped glasses are not removable.

🎭 The Hurrahs: Human or Engineered?
Officially, Strawberry Records claims The Hurrahs are "certified human Citizens of The New World, born and raised on pure rhythms and peace."
But off the record? Nobody knows for sure.

🎤 THEORIES IN CIRCULATION:
🧬 1. Genetically Enhanced Citizens
-
Evidence: Their perfect harmonies, synchronized movements, and sugar-smooth vocal blend seem... too good.
-
Rumor: The Hurrahs were genetically tuned in a Creative Optimization Lab—engineered with traits like perfect pitch, photogenic symmetry, and irresistible stage presence.
-
Supporters Say: “So what? The New World was built on enhancement. They’re just the next step in musical evolution.”

🤖 2. AI-Human Hybrids
-
Evidence: Cosmo Boom’s unremovable star-shaped glasses and strangely mechanical laughter have sparked speculation.
-
Fan Theory: He’s not fully human at all, but a reprogrammed android who escaped a Deadender amusement show and joined The Hurrahs.
-
What’s Weirder: No one’s ever seen him blink.

🚸 3. Entirely Human...but Carefully Chosen
-
Evidence: Melody Blaze’s emotional depth on the keys, Ricky Rocketson’s impulsive flubs during live Q&As, and Jett Mercury’s subtle stage anxiety.
-
The Fan Narrative: They’re “real” humans—but hand-picked from Citizen talent pools and groomed by Strawberry Records from age 10.
-
Implication: The Hurrahs might be The New World’s version of a manufactured boy/girl band. But in a utopia, is that such a bad thing?

Spotlight: The Hurrahs – "Estranged" and Their Bubblegum Truth Signed to Strawberry Records and released on Bandcamp and ReverbNation, The Hurrahs are a psychedelic power pop band drenched in bubblegum sweetness. Their hit "Estranged" is a phenomenon—beloved by young teens in both the New World and even in the Deadender sectors.
They’re bright, bouncy, and slightly too polished. Which means, of course, the conspiracy theories are already swirling in Deadender forums:
“Are The Hurrahs real?” “Is the keyboardist engineered?” “Why are all their songs so... happy?”
New World Citizens don’t ask these questions. They don’t need to. Identity is irrelevant. There’s no race, no gender roles, no nationalism—just art, joy, and presence. The Hurrahs just are.
But in the shadows of Deadender chatter, this kind of purity looks suspicious. And in true GarbAge fashion, we let the satire speak for itself.
Coming next issue: “Bubblegum Psyop? The Hurrahs Accused of Weaponizing Joy.”
