These are the stories of a city called Persiphonia. Persiphonia exists only in Facebook’s game Metropolis and in the fertile mind of its Mayor and creator, Persiphone Hellecat. Each day, since some time in December, Persiphone has written a new Tale and distributed it to players of the game. It picked very quickly, with other players starting to develop their own little stories about their towns. It makes the game more of a role play situation and makes it more fun and entertaining for those of us who play. People started contacting Persiphone, worried that they had missed a tale because they hadn’t interacted that day and wondering how they could make sure they never missed any again. Thus was born the Tales of Persiphonia blog–the first and as far as I know–the only city in Metropolis with their own blog.
The goal is to create a complete world called Persiphonia, a mostly cosmopolitan city filled with nothing but bipolar people. The Mayor herself is bipolar. It is a satirical at a crazy town run by a crazy lady. Every day, you can be sure that something strange will happen in Persiphonia where our motto is Normalus Izzo Overraticus.
Enjoy the Tales. This is our 1001 Persiphonian Nights. Laugh at them. That’s what they’re meant to do. If one of them makes you feel strongly, write me and tell me. Get it off your chest. The thing about being a satirist is that not everything you write will appeal to everybody. I promise you that I won’t be offended as long as you tell me what you think in an eloquent manner that doesn’t use the words “sucks”, “stinks” or any four letter words.
If people can’t learn to laugh at themselves, who can we laugh at? Laughter begins at home. And for me, home is Persiphonia, Land of the Free and Home of the Bipolar.
With Love and Respect Always,
Persiphone Hellecat, Mayor, Author and PROUD Citizen of Persiphoinia

If you go to the last story in recent entries, there is an arrow pointing left at the top of the story with another story name on it. That will take you, one by one, all the way back to the beginning of the Tales. Keep going left. Persi

Help! I lost Persiphonia. Your story disappeared from my wall, so I have been wandering in the wilderness, searching among the cities of Metropolis for a link to your city. Please can you publish you Metro id so I can get back to entertaining your citizens. Im trying to learn to get along with Bipolars, since my daughter is one.
Fond regards,
Jacqui, Mayoress of Dogbowl
