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!

Uh hu. Right. Well, the citizens are the ones who suggested I take this position.

Which citizens? It seems to me that you have endeavored to take on power without consulting those whom it would affect the most.

Visitors who have been here long enough to be called citizens. What, do you want actual names? Ta see some identification? I ain't makin' this up.

Visitors remain visitors until they leave. They do not ever join the citizenry of a place; not until they call it home, and even then it will still take a while. The few days, weeks perhaps, that some have spent here no more makes them citizens of this place than my years among the Highborne makes me Highborne myself. Perhaps you should reevaluate your statements.

Identification is all well and good, but only when one can actually look at it. Regardless of whether or not you are making things up, you do not act with the best interests of the citizenry at heart. Even I can see that.

Fine, whatever. Visitors then. Visitors who use the journals frequently. Good? Good. But I am acting with them in my interests. Same goes to the citizens. Why else would I be sharin' this stuff? It's to help 'em stay safe.

I do not think you understand the trouble you stir with such claims. Every good leader knows better than to stir dangerous and slumbering beasts. Yet you... I do not think you quite realize how potentially dangerous the things you have done can be, both to yourself and to the people of the city. If this "Organization" is as dangerous as you claim, why give them incentive to act out against you and the other guests?

The already have acted against those in the city! They've attacked it and countless people, kidnapped guests, n' even poisoned the water supply at one point. By raising awareness and keepin' everybody informed I'm keepin' them one step ahead.

... Right?

The information you provide can serve to create a "Nothing to lose" mentality. After all, if the people you are informing about have so much information out in the open, then why would they bother to hide it all now?

By attempting to keep people "one step ahead," you may very well be endangering their lives.

I was just trying to help.

I am sure that you can. This... is just not the best means by which to do so.

And you know a better way?

Spreading the message personally. Contacting certain persons to carry the message for you. There are a number of other ways, and none of them so public or so dangerous.

But this way is so much easier. Not to mention how it gets to everyone.

The easiest methods are not always the best, nor the wisest. Sometimes, it is better to be discrete as opposed to open, and to take the care to ensure that those who need to know do, and those who should not find out never hear the information.
