[Vesper reappears on the Network, looking as bright-eyed and fresh-faced as the director of the Newcomer Community Center should. She smiles softly.]

Now that we are all back in a familiar time period, we can begin discussing the new year for the center and for our community.

Before I do that, however, I've heard that Newcomers who lived in the apartments are dealing with a bit of trouble because of our absence and have found themselves virtually without. While we look into this from a legal standpoint, we at the Center have set up temporary shelter and will be providing meals.

Donations to help provide for our fellow Newcomers in their time of need are always welcome as well.

[Not to mention she may be sitting on a nice little nest egg from working with Siren's underbelly and their finances.]

Doctors are baffled by the absolutely bizarre condition that Mark Stoneson, an AGI-affiliated manager of the Uzushio, abruptly developed. It appears to be an exceptionally aggressive flesh eating disease, the likes of which have not been seen in the Port before. The manager was rushed to Siren’s Port General Hospital for medical examination.

An evening news interview, revealing grosser details later critiqued as a little too ‘extreme’ for primetime cable, notes that the disease seems to be sprouting snakes made of Mr. Stoneson's flesh all over his body, which are in turn devouring him. But equally as baffling is the fact that he seems to have gained regenerative powers that he previously didn't possess, and that's what seems to be keeping him alive!


New Breed of Darkness Monster?

A trio of magic users who ran The Cauldron, a magic store well known in Port, have all had an encounter with a strange creature last night. It seems as though there was a leak in their Darkness proofing, and the creature was able to take advantage of it. It was described as a conical shape of pure darkness which seemed to be immune to spells. It caused severe damage to the store, as well as hospitalizing the three magic users, all are in critical condition after teleporting out just before it could finish them.

The group had recently started to move into the Seyruun Shop of Sorcery in an attempt to expand their business. One of the owners, a Newcomer "priest" named Xellos, had this to comment:

“Oh, it is most unfortunate what happened to them, they must have been careless with their defenses. We will certainly be reinforcing ourselves at the store, we wouldn’t want something awful happening to us.”

I'm not sure if anyone saw the news, but poor Mr. Stoneson is sick with a mystery illness that the doctors can't figure out. It looks like it's not contagious, but it's still pretty scary.

[It's a curse of endless suffering, with only one cure: kill the one who placed the curse. Doctors have called it a flesh eating disease, though, and he's not likely to correct them. After all, why would a little boy know better?]

I had flowers sent to his hospital room and I'm going to pay for up to three months' pay, depending on how quickly he recovers, so his family's got something to fall back on.

[He sighs.]

We still need another manager, though, so I'm turning to Newcomers first.

[He'll promote Xellos and/or William first, but that opens up an assistant manager position.]

Uzushio employees who'd be interested in an assistant manager job can apply, too.
