(Jekyll and) Hyde Park

Before destroying NCI Live building during Cat and Mick-y Mouse Game:

So many of the major English-speaking cities invariably have a neighborhood called Hyde Park. Twilight is no exception, though in this case it was named after the book, and is officially recorded as Jekyll and Hyde Park. Nobody calls it that, though.

Hyde Park is normally a quaint older neighborhood, filled with large stone buildings. There's a small college here with an underused observatory, the eponymous park in a central square, and heavy immigration over the years has turned about a third of the neighborhood into a Chinatown of sorts.

The intersection of Teeter Street and Yang Boulevard represents a crossroads between a quirky but popular family neighborhood and the edges of Twilight's Chinatown. Street activity seems somewhat busier on Teeter Street tonight. A quick glance indicates a few other heroes seem to be patrolling Chinatown/Teeter Street this evening.

Off on the far end of the suburb there's an office building. It's an eerie, dark building that's clearly evil. The anagram of its name is "evil, inc." for one thing. For another, there are a lot of lights on and people working after hours. What could be more evil than making employees work late?

After destroying NCI Live building during Cat and Mick-y Mouse Game:

A good portion of this neighborhood has been devastated by the blast that took out the NCI Live building and very nearly took your life. Cleanup and reconstruction will take years. Off on the far western edge of the neighborhood there is one previously vacant office building which has started to hum again, and gives off a slightly evil aura. Furthermore, the company name, "Vincile" is suspiciously anagrammatic of both "NCI Live" and "evil inc." And we all know if you can make it an anagram, it has to be a true hidden meaning. That's why all superheroes are round (our sphere), sell fish eggs (roe pusher), and are expert gardeners (purer hose).

History

• The zone was introduced on January 25th 2010 for the Frusion Event. Until April 5th 2010 the last paragraph read:

At the moment, though, chaos abounds. There are weird sparks arcing off exposed metal, like the air is full of electricity. People are running around scared and confused, and small fires seem to have cropped up all over the place.

• Yang Boulevard and Teeter Street were later introduced on the first day of the Chinese lunar year 2011, that day being 3 February 2011.

References

• The name refers to Robert Louis Stevenson's novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
