Hello, Paixao. I am Colonel Jade Curtiss. Thanks to the rambling help of a man calling himself the Doctor, I've gotten the general gist of this place. Searching through past messages on this board has yielded me more questions than answers, but I suppose I can't be surprised. I only have one real question at this point, if someone would be kind enough to answer.

Is there anyone out there who knows who I am?

WHERE IS SHE?!

[The roar that follows echoes through the domes, reverberating throughout almost half the city from the Western slums. Anyone who listens to the post will find that Beast didn't bother to stop recording it, and will find their ears assaulted with as much power as the journal speakers can muster. The sounds of furniture getting destroyed can also be heard in the background.]

[ooc: Beast's replies are going to have lots of caps, and lots of angry yelling. Just...in case that wasn't painfully obvious. >.>]

[Beast's voice is meek and quiet, very different from the tone most people would be used to hearing from him by now.]

Have...Have any of you seen a man named Cogsworth? He's...been missing for...some time.

[Before she starts talking, there are a few tapping sounds... because this is Rapunzel's first time posting to the network and she wants to be sure this thing is ON!]

So I have a question for everyone! You don't have to answer, but I think it'd be more fun if you did.

Do you have a dream? Something you want more than anything else in the world? If so... what is it?

[ sounds of tinkering with the device, at first it seems to be muffled, then suddenly becomes clear and... ]

Oh! Hey! Look at that! It does work!

Can anyone read me out there? I just landed somewhere pretty strange, they gave me this device -- is it a fon machine? Pretty compact! I wonder what all it does -- what happens when I...

[ a loud BEEP ]

Whoops! Guess you're not supposed to press it if you're broadcasting! Heh... So, anyway, I'm just wondering which exit I can take to get back to Auldrant? The guy that greeted me said this was 'Paixao' or something. Is that part of the Qliphoth somehow? Man, I don't recognize a thing...

I've been told that someone named Luke fon Fabre has been staying here for some time. Could anyone tell me where I might find him?

Is it common for people to leave and come back to this place?

Lei'ella, Yorda, are either of you still here?

I was wondering, I found something. I'm unfamiliar with several terms on it, and I was wondering if anybody could help me identify them?

Castle Oblivion
Kingdom Hearts
Namine
Keybearer

I think it may provide a clue as to the true nature of this place...

Greetings; I am new to Paixao and my name is Natalia.

I've managed to find lodging for now, but i was wondering if there were any job openings available?

Thanks for your help the other day, Luke. 

About this darkness... does anyone know any way to dispel it? I can't get any of my light spells to work for longer than a minute when I go out. I don't have any trouble getting around, but it would be nice if I could actually see things. And I doubt everyone can find their way around like I can. It's certainly some of the most powerful magic I've ever encountered.

Those strange animals are gone, too... lumens, right? I haven't seen a single one since this started.

And it affects this little thing, too. I can only use it inside now.
