Hi, everybody.

[Sup. Your NVs now have a horrible rotting zombie on them, except about a thousand times more gruesome than those pictures- seriously Walking Dead, with flesh rotting off, part of his cheekbone showing, and a maggot working its way out of his forehead.

Chuck smiles and keeps talking, as if half his jaw isn't gaping open.]

Chuck Shurley here, new manager of Purgatory. I'm here to announce a party on Halloween, at the club. It'll be pretty awesome. Gabriel's redoing the whole inside to make it fit the theme, and it's amazing. We're bringing in musical entertainment from our world - I mean, it'll be an angel thing, but you'll still get to have the full fake NSYNC experience, or whatever.

[He idly tugs on his beard and his thumb pulls through zombie flesh. He doesn't seem to notice.]

Plus, there's transport home provided after dark, if you suck and don't want to take advantage of two-for-one drinks. [Grin. The smile ~~disturbingly~~ reaches his colorless, dead-looking eyes.] Anyone who stays until morning sirens can get a complimentary hangover cure on their way out.

I better see you all there, okay? Happy Halloween!

(OOC: I live in the path of Hurricane Sandy and our neighborhood transformer is a delicate hypochondriac snowflake, so I might wind up slowtagging this for... a few days. Oops. I'll do my best, ilu all.)

Violet Systems Rejects SERO's New "Loyalty" Policy

A week after SERO had announced its new "loyalty" policies, Violet Systems has finally come out with a public announcement regarding its views on the measures. Backed by SERO, Violet Systems is one of the more prominent Newcomer-run businesses on the island. The company is led by Lee Chaolan, who also plays an active role in the Newcomer Political Party.

When I began my business, I affiliated with SERO in the professional sense as I was well aware that a company dealing heavily in technology would find it hard to stand on its own. Despite this, I chose to keep an open policy on hiring as I believe that good employees should not be barred from achieving their full potential due to their personal beliefs and the choices they've made in life. Whatever they choose to do in their spare time is none of my business, as long as they do not smear my name or the name of the company.

Furthermore, as an entrepreneur and as part of the Newcomer Political Party, I enjoy the freedom of collaborating with brilliant minds both within SERO and with others around the port.

As the CEO and President of a company known best for its security systems, I understand the need for heightened security measures in the wake of this tragic loss. But I do not agree with how far the measures have been taken. These identification cards that encode information and track employee activity are a breach of privacy. Furthermore, a loyalty screening as well as a binding agreement of affiliation will certainly limit both employees and businesses.

This is not just for Violet Systems' sake, but also for the sake of potential employees and entrepreneurs who wish not to be met with a dead-end due to the restrictions the new measures places upon them.

With this said, I refuse to renew my affiliation to the company, and with that, Violet Systems'. I intend to continue my enterprise as a true neutral business.

Lee Chaolan
CEO/President
Violet Systems

Chaolan is best known for spearheading initiatives to boost employment among the Newcomer population and to promote Newcomer-run businesses.

When pressed for comment, SERO’s public relations office had only a brief response: "SERO regrets to hear the intention of Violet Systems to break away from the SERO family. We wish Mr. Chaolan luck in his endeavor, and he should expect to hear from our legal department within the day."

[A young girl's face is on the NV display, and she's positively beaming. Something has put her in such a great mode that she just has to share it with everyone.]

So, you know those neat powers that people get when they arrive here? I have figured out what mine is! It is the bestest ability ever. I...

[She pauses for dramatic effect.]

I can find kitty cats! No matter how much they try to hide, no cat can hide from me!

[She raises her arms over her head in triumph, leaving them as she continues to speak.[

..Oh, and I think I can find stuff other then cats, too. But mostly cats. Because cats are fluffy and I love them lots. So...umm, if you need to find a cat, or I guess other stuff, I might be able to helpify you.
