Notice

Dear Paixaoans,

Yeah missed me, hu? I thought you might. I'm a pretty lovable character, you know. Not to fear, I ain't got any plans on going anywhere any time soon. I know my adoring public needs me and as long as they do I will continue to-- What? No, Pumbaa, not now. I'm in the middle of somethin'... No, I didn't. He did it himself... Hey, that's not my fault. If he... Look, we're not having this conversation right now. I'm busy.

Eh... You'll have to excuse my associate. He has a terrible habit of INTERRUPTING ME WHEN I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

Ahem! Anywho... It's come to my attention that a lot of you have been makin' contact with certain members of the known threat that is Organization XIII. Allow me to remind you that these people are extremely dangerous, and should by no means be trusted n' any way. We're talkin' 'bout the same guys who kidnapped many citizens just like you n' me and conducted all those nasty experiments on 'em; tortured 'em!

Recent attempts by The Organization at kidnapping have also been noted. This forces me to also remind you all ta be on the look out for suspicious activity and travel in numbers. It's safer that way. Organization members have taken on a change of wardrobe now that their black coats are so recognizable so they may not be as easy to spot unless you're familiar with 'em. If there are any artists out there willin' to sketch 'em out to help others familiarize themselves with them, that'd be real helpful.

Organization XIII itself consists of thirteen members, each goin' by a particular number (example: Larxene is also known number XII). All members are also known ta have at least one 'X' in their names. Though, when they approach you they'll probably introduce themselves by a different name. Their greatest known interest is collecting hearts, although their experiments involvin' two elements called 'Light' n' 'Darkness' have shown others.

Some of the creatures seen running around the city, at one time attacking it, are known as 'Heartless' and 'Nobodies'. These creatures supposedly created when a heart is lost to darkness. They are controlled by The Organization and are considered just as dangerous as members themselves.

Keepin' this n' all new details in mind, be careful. We don't need any more casualties than we already have. New information involving anything you think could be important will always be accepted at any time. Exchanges in information are also negotiable.

Any further questions, comments, et cetera, et cetera I'll, eh, take 'em up the best I can.

Sincerely,

The Future Mayor of Paixao

... Whew, that was a long one!

And here I thought I was going to have to search everywhere to find the information I needed on this Organization. And here you have it all in one place. Quite impressive.

How did you learn all this, if you don't mind me asking?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Nah, not all of it. Just the important stuff that they outta know.

Speakin' of which, I wanna know why should I tell you how I learned it.

[11deadlypetals.livejournal.com]

Me? I'm just curious. It might lead to more information, and any lead is a good one, isn't it? We wouldn't want to keep anyone in the dark.

[smashchu.livejournal.com]

Question!

For folks with a good nose on them to smell out for, does this Organization have any particular scent associated with them?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I don't really know how to describe it... I usually get a certain feelin' in my gut when one of 'em is around though. That's gotta do with at least somethin' I'm smellin'.

[stretchmeout.livejournal.com]

Che, I keep telling you, they're not that tough. Give me a little more time and I'll drag at least one of 'em out.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

You're really gunna end up gettin' yourself hurt one of these days.

[stretchmeout.livejournal.com]

Kishishishishi...I don't understand you at all.

All that information and nothing helpful. Is there any description you can give me that doesn't involve having to SEE them?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

... Toph?

[mighty-molita.livejournal.com]

You've heard of me? Weird, I didn't think I'd done anything to spread my name much...yet.

(ooc: wow I didn't realize Timon and Toph had so much interaction in the past...this should be fun *checked the backlogs* |D)

[open-zipper.livejournal.com]

They're not collecting brains, are they..? 'Cause I don't got much left...

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Eh, no. I don't think so. Your brain is perfectly safe... What's left of it anyway.

[scientific-lady.livejournal.com]

I don't have official training in being a sketch artist, but I'm willing to help if you still want to attempt to sketch them.

ooc: Logically, she would. Don't know how good she is, but she can try...

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Ah, you don't need no official training. You just need a pencil. We'll talk later.

[scientific-lady.livejournal.com]

Sounds good, just let me know when.

[betray-them-all.livejournal.com]

It sounds to me like you're rather interested in stirring trouble. Perhaps you should just let things be? Even a hunter knows better than to bother an already angry beast.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Eh... What? How am I stirring trouble? I'm doin' my job.

Voice Post

[betray-them-all.livejournal.com]

And who gave you this job, other than yourself?

From the perspective of a new face around these parts, you're stirring trouble unasked for.

[blackmagicjazz.livejournal.com]

That's the mark of a good man-- he shares his evidence with his friends no matter the danger to himself.

I'll spread the word.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

That's right! ... Wait, what? Danger to himself?! When did that add into the equation?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Not that I know of.

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

When you say 'heart', you mean the metaphorical center of emotion and morality, right? Not they physical organ at the center of the circulatory system? For the most part, removing the later should only result in death, although I have seen, for lack of a better term, animated-corpses that could still attack... I haven't seen these 'heartless' or 'nobodies', what do they look like?

I think when you say 'heart' it's what I am familiar with as a 'soul', in which case I may be familiar with creatures like 'heartless', although they acted more as the Organization you're talking about.

I think your anti-Organization propaganda campaign is a good idea, whether you have all the right information or not, it is going to make people pay more attention to what's going on around them. Even if none of it was correct, freedom of the press is one of the most important pillars of a free society and suppressing any kind of speech, even outright lies, is a very bad sign. My main concern is that this isn't> being suppressed, actually. If the Organization has so much control in this city, why are they allowing you to speak against them? Are the journals independent of them and they are unable to censor what is written in them? If so, who is supplying the journals?

And if the Organization really is as malevolent as it appears, I hope you are good at hiding. It would also be best to not be closely connected with anyone who isn't, as they might be used to get to you. The fact that you're doing this so publicly with no attempt to hide your identity means your either really brave or really foolish.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Eh... Yeah. The spirit of a heart. I guess it could be your soul too. It holds all your emotions. I thought about the, ah, literal heart too at first.

Heartless have a lot of forms, but they all got this red heart-shaped symbol on 'em. It's really big, so you ain't gunna miss it. They're out lookin' for folks hearts, draggin' them into the shadows with them. I haven't seen any of them here for awhile here.

Nobodies are out lookin' for hearts too. The weaker ones are thin n' white with a symbol on 'em kinda like the Heartless. The strongest ones apparently stay their 'previous form', like before they lost their hearts.

Heh. I'll have you know I ain't lyin' 'bout a thing here. I mean, sure, some of it's suspicion; The Organization bein' responsible for puttin' somethin' in the water supply that one time or The Organization takin' care of the 'ol Mayor... But I say that! I think they did it where as the kidnappings and attacking the city, I know they did that.

The journals were bein' supplied by the city before The Organization came here. They had nothin' to do with 'em. I never really thought 'bout that though... Great, now I got somethin' else to worry 'bout. Thanks, Ed. It's not like I'm stressed enough as it is, you know.

How 'bout we end on the note of be bein' a brave hero, hm?
