- A sector 3 specialty supermarket is reporting a dramatic increase in shoplifting, but only for the steady unaccounted for inventory loss of two items- frozen chinese food and chocolate truffles. The store plans to installing new cameras to catch the culprits...and this silly little issue has only been catching public attention because a local hit reality series ‘Sexy Sleuths’ (which puts a team of attractive but not particularly clever 20-something roommates in a house together as they ‘solve’ small-time local mysteries) plans to ‘help’ by putting its cast members in charge of monitoring the store on this week’s episode.


- The Joker has been successfully moved from holding to a secure cell at St. Teresa's Sanitarium. The infamous criminal was arrested on Saturday after reportedly being flung into a police squad, including Newcomers Seras Victoria and Jake Marshall, by a golden dragon.

"It's true," says a witness who's chosen to remain anonymous. "There was a dragon!"


-Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus for Sale!
[Article comes with a photo of the guitar for sale.]

Difficult as the decision was to make, I’ve finally decided to part with my electric guitar and pass it onto some other lucky musician or musician-in-training. It’s a little over a year old, with a figured maple top and a heritage cherry burst finish. Comfortable neck shape. Burstbuckers for that classic Les Paul sound. The latest in Potentiometer design for precision and reliable performance. Perfect intonation. Guaranteed to give you a buzz-free performance. One hundred percent gorgeous from top to base.

There is one small issue with the D string, but that can be overlooked, as long as you never, ever feel the need to tune it. You don’t even need to tune it: your friends and family will be so impressed by you holding this esteemed thoroughbred of guitars that it won’t even matter that it’s a little off-key. How many ears can truly tell the difference, anyway? Right?

Normally an instrument such as this would run for about $2,000-$3,000 on the market, but I am giving it away for $10.00. That’s right, folks: I’m giving away this authentic Gibson Les Paul for the price of a foot long sandwich and soda combo at the mall. I’ll even throw in the OHSC for free.

I want this thing gone by tomorrow, so hurry now! This opportunity won’t last for very long, and you do not want to let it slip by!

[Xellos floats lazily, resting on air, eyes closed, seemingly having a nap. He stretches a moment, and then sits cross-legged in the air]

A question for all of those involved with magic in their respective worlds, how exactly does it work where you are from? Things always seem to work slightly differently in each new place, and of course there is always plenty of room for creative individuals to revolutionize its practice. If you would be so kind, I'd greatly appreciate it.

[He holds his chin, with a curious expression on his face]

For those lacking in magical talents, two simple riddles.

One tooth to bite,
he's the forests foe.
One tooth to fight,
as all Norse know.

What is it?

A man is six feet tall, is a clerk at a butcher shop, and wears size 11 shoes.

What does he weigh?

[The weariness in his voice isn’t a simple case of fatigue; he sounds troubled. Not that it hasn’t been keeping him up at night. If this wasn’t just a voice message, you’d be able to see the dark blotches under his eyes.]

[Kaiji clears his throat, an attempt at being casual.]

Wanted to throw a question out there. When do you forgive someone? [a pause- it’s not really his place to do the forgiving in this situation] Or… when do you turn a blind eye to something… something fucked up? What if they’ve done their time for it? What circumstances make it…

[He trails off. It used to be so simple. Coming here had complicated matters- he still didn’t know where he stood with Tonegawa but it hadn’t mattered before. They were never supposed to see each other again. Even here, their past was a largely taboo subject, never to be spoken out loud but ever present in resentful undertones and snipes. Even so, a small part of him was disturbed by how lacking in intensity his hatred of the other man was- and even more so by the tinier part of him that respected him in spite of everything.

And now… now he can’t stop himself making the connections, asking the same uncomfortable questions; is he a hypocrite if he forgives one but not the other? Does it matter if they’ve changed? Why they did it? Does it ever go away?]

...tch. It's a stupid question.

You know, it's been a really long time since I've said anything on here! I've been busy with my lessons, you see. I can do math and read a lot goo-- better now. [ He's also been trying very hard to mimic Alois's way of talking as best he can. ]

How is everyone doing? If I haven't met you, you should come say hi, okay?
