Attention, citizens and guests of Paixao:

Despite the recent string of unfortunate events, please let me assure you that Paixao is a peaceful place. Our citizens are making every accomodation possible for you, our guests. Apartments are being emptied, and soon you will be allowed to apply for them. We are making further expansions to our schools so that all of those eligible can attend.

Paixao is a land of tradition, however. It is hard to believe that we are almost upon our centennial year. Our founders did not expect much when they set foot on this island, expecting only to live in isolationist peace. But we have had our highs and lows, our periods of economic growth and bustling trade, and it is due to all this that Paixao is what it is today, and can accomplish all these things. We must never forget that.

Therefore, it is my pleasure as mayor to invite you to our 95th Annual Foundation Day Festival. Admission, food, games and entertainment are complimentary, and catering will be generously provided by the Ersesat Company. However, because of this, I must ask everyone who plans to be there to RSVP in this post, so that our caterers will know how much food to prepare.

Though most of the fair is free of charge to everyone, this year we will also be holding a paid raffle, to help raise funding for our research into offworld transportation. The winner will receive his or her choice of prizes, the nature of which will be given in more detail at the event itself.

The festivities begin at the Jogo da Crianca Fairgrounds in three days' time, and I am also planning to attend. I hope to see all of you there.

Thank you,

The Mayor of Paixao

Dear Citizens,

Keeping you as up to date as I can, I come with new details about the load of missing people.

According to my sources, there are eight being held together having been kidnapped. I'm not sure if there are more hiding elsewhere, but I can name a few of those eight I know of who are being held prisoner.

KIDNAPPED!

Because the three unknown prisoners out of the eight could be anyone, I will also be making a list of everyone reported missing. If you know of anyone who's recently disappeared, let me know so I can add them to this list. Also, if you see or hear from any of the following you should report it immediately.

Missing Persons
Ash

Rosette
Saitou Hajime
Seta Soujirou

I'd say it's pretty safe to say these kidnapping are the organizations doing. Still no motive why, or what they have planned. But I do know that they are keeping with their reputation and hurting their victims.

So, again as a reminder, everyone should be on the look out for suspicious activity. Don't travel alone and spread the word of these disappearances to keep everyone informed. Anyone with information should report it to me immediately.

Also, these organization members are extremely dangerous. For your own safety, do not associate with them. They can all be found wearing black coats.
