After some consideration, I have decided to allow any of you who wish to stay somewhere better than the tent the opportunity to stay in my castle. That's the 6th floor, by the way.

However there are some rules any who stay must adhere to:

1. I'm the Overlord. Don't forget it.
2. No touching/sitting on/or doing anything to my throne!
3. Keep out of my room.
4. No throwing any prinnies--we don't need holes in the walls.
5. No stealing anything from the castle!
6. If you're taken advantage of by any of the vassals in the castle, it's your own damn fault. I'm not accountable for anyone's stupidity.

Geez, what's with you people? Why are you wasting your breath on the mayor?

Have you all forgotten how we're actually trapped here? The whole castle thing? We're pretty much being held hostage here! Not to mention what about all that worlds unravelling stuff? Doesn't that concern you people at all?

I mean, if you all want to be as delusional as the mayor, go nuts, but I'm going to find this supposed top floor and wipe the floor with the guy responsible for all this.

[Mao sounds a bit tired and a little in pain] O, Oi... You people seen some girl who looks like a neon pink, flower-themed villain reject? [he coughs]

Dammit... How long have I been out?!

A, Anyway, just let me know if you've seen her or not! I've got a score to settle!

Um....hello, everyone! My name is Colette and I’m a new arrival in this city!

Anyway, um....can anyone tell me about this place? I’d like as much information about it as possible. Is it true that nobody has managed to find a way back? That’s what my friend Zelos told me.

There must be a way out, though! We might not have found it yet, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. [Well, that is what a worried girl is trying to tell herself behind that cheerful and carefree voice]

So... If someone were to hypothetically swallow some... Oh, I don't know, supposedly 'magic' beans, what might be the result of that?

I've been having a little look-see through these message boards and I have to say, I really didn't expect so many demons to be around here.

I wonder how many of them are actually doing their job?

It has been awhile since we've last spoken, Paixao. I hope you will accept this gift to make up for my absence. Read closely, and think on this knowledge well.


To understand how the heart works, one must comprehend its balance and what happens when that balance is lost. How does it function with an abundance of darkness? Of Light?

How much until it is thrown over the edge, to a point of no return?

Each heart reacts differently - should they not all operate the same? How are we able to understand anything if our subjects are not on the same controlled level? I wonder, is it possible to reshape a person's heart, so that then we will be able to do our testing properly?

PROJECT F - EXPERIMENT NO. 1
SPECIMEN DESIGNATION: Laharl

PROCEDURE: Injections of darkness, followed by a single injection of pure light.
RESULTS: As a creature of darkness, the subject was able to accept large amounts of darkness, during which he began to take on the physical traits of a common Heartless (glowing eyes, visible and palpable aura of darkness). He reacted poorly to the injection of light, however, and rather forcefully escaped from the laboratory.
CONCLUSIONS: Like accepts like. Creature of darkness may not be able to handle light and vice-versa.
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS: Whether the light acted as a catalyst against darkness injected or against natural darkness.
POSSIBLE FUTURE EXPERIMENTS: Injections either entirely of light or darkness.

PROJECT E - EXPERIMENT NO. 6
SPECIMEN DESIGNATION: Zidane Tribal

PROCEDURE: Injections of darkness.
RESULTS: Subject entered injured and was revived with potion before injections, which may have affected results. Subject was completely unable to assimilate any darkness and instead gained powers not unlike those of the Heartless.
CONCLUSIONS: Creatures of light do not react well to darkness. Weaker hearts may not stand up to darkness well.
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS: To what extent the injury and potion affected results (if at all), Strength of subject's heart to begin with, Amount of darkness needed to make subject lose his heart completely.
POSSIBLE FUTURE EXPERIMENTS: Further injections of darkness.

[Well, if anyone had more information, this seemed like the place to find it.]

So..

Has there been anyone here who's seen this 'Organization' before?

No big deal but I found one of those door you all keep goin' on about. With all that whining you do, you'd think it'd be hard or something.

Huh? ... Oh, okay, fine. We found it. Pumbaa helped. A little.

1, 2, 3, test...
Is anybody hearing me ♥ ?

What's with this strange gadget anyway?! The most technological object this city has is the toilet before this device.

No videogames, no TV, no radio, no nothing! How is a girl supposed to have fun in a place like this?

Those vacations are ruined for me, I'm so outta here.

Let it be known that our resident Mid-boss was, in fact, under the influence of a little too much of my special wine and that's why he went around flirting with all you women. His naturally passionate personality lead him to react, uh...uniquely to my vintage. It was mostly not his fault.

So do forgive him, okay? He's an idiot but he doesn't mean to hurt anyone.

Consider this a public service announcement. Any woman who's had the lapse of judgement to fall for some guy named Vyers? Don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. He's a liar and a creep. He preys on the hearts of women and then tries to hide it.

Trust me, girls, we can all do a lot better.

[there's a shrill, babbling voice of a worried mother meerkat cutting across the board]

I knew it, I knew it - why did I give him so much space? Why did I keep my mouth shut? It seemed something good to try at the time but but - he's gone! He's been gone for so long and he hasn't come back and he always came back except now! He's not coming back this time, I just know it. And I don't even know where he went... Timon, all alone out in this frightening jungle!

[long, quiet, jittery pause... and then a hitched sob]

He's dead. My little Timmy is... is dead!

[because Ma totally has all the evidence for this. yep.]

So... Flonne's acting more than a little crazy, as you probably all noticed.

If anyone sees her, could you let me know? [A frustrated sigh.] She could be practically anywhere at this point.

Meanwhile, let's hope it isn't catching, geez...

[ Rishfee sounds exhausted, a touch downhearted, and if anything, unwell in this transmission.

There is a small amount of fumbling, as it's rather apparent that even though Rishfee's managed to work out how these things run and what they do he has absolutely no idea how it works. Yes, his voice is faint. He's probably holding the communicator upside down. but lolwtf @ electricity - he's doing damned well to even get this far.]

...This Organization - the ones that appear to be controlling all of this.
Location would be useful. ... Their numbers, as well.

[He trails off slightly, wondering if he should add more. He merely adds this, as more of an afterthought.]

I thank you for any information you can give.

[There's an image of Sora holding up a crudely drawn poster]




VOTE FOR TIMON!

Citizens of Paixao, it's been a difficult time here, I know. Through it all, one person has been with you. One person has been there through the hard times, the good times and everything in between. One person has gone out of their way to keep you informed and in good hands.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to take this time to officially announce that I'm dropping out of Paixao's mayoral race and supporting that singular person of questionable moral compass but undeniable cunning:

Timon for Mayor!


I know what you're thinking. Sure, he's short and he's got a mouth that won't quit, but he's been around longer than most of us. He knows the game, friends, and I'm willing to put my money on the experienced horse. And if you're worried he won't have the walk to back up his talk, don't stress: I'll personally offer my services to keep him in line and the rest of you protected.

Whether he likes it or not.

Thank you for your patience; we are now fully prepared. If you wish to run for the position of mayor, please reply to us here, and you can begin your campaign whenever you choose. Remember: you must be a citizen of Paixao in order to be considered an official candidate.

If you still wish to register you may, as always, come by our temporary offices at I8. You will need to fill out and submit our application for citizenship.

Elections will be held at the end of the week at noon in the same location.

Feel free to ask any questions regarding your campaign or the elections themselves.

For new arrivals, please refer to my previous message addressing the city's situation.


Thank you,

Rosemary
mayoral secretary



((Feel free to just fill out the citizen app and submit it. No worries lol. It is easier that way.))

I am looking for a young boy. His name is Fuyuki Hinata, age 15. He...

...Looks close to that picture. He may be seen with or near a small green creature. The creature is mostly harmless. If you have seen him, I would appreciate it if you direct me to his direction.

Thank you.
