--hat’s this button do? Oh. It made a noise. Guess that means it’s on. Good.

Attention, whoever the hell it was who kidnapped me! Are you happy with your stupid plan? Because this is going to be the last one you’ll ever do. Seriously, kidnapping an Overlord and dropping him into some human world city? Do you have a death wish? It's not even a good plan! If you were sent by Alex, you better let him know this was a cheap shot. I haven’t even sent out a freaking reply assassin yet.

Greetings, Paixao.

As I'm sure you've noticed, there are some of you who have come into possession of certain documents found around the city. Doubtless you all are wondering what they mean. Sadly, I'm incapable of providing you every answer, especially on an insecure line such as this.

But that isn't to say I can't tell you anything at all. You all have questions, especially in regards to your entrapment.

There is a castle in between the realms of light and darkness, a place where memories can influence its very structure. It is where the group you know as the Organization has chosen to perform its research.

Welcome to Castle Oblivion.

You've already begun your ascension with the find of the islands beyond the door. Within those islands, if you wish to find it, there is another door leading to the next floor, and more beyond each world of memories you explore.

At the top of this castle, you will find all of your answers and a way home. Can you make it?

So. About that monster.

What's the plan?

So. ♥

I was talking to Timon~. He's so helpful. I have a list. What sort of list? Here's part of it.

Sephiroth
Rosette
Laharl
Karst
Flonne

Can anyone guess what this list is? ♥

Question: What has four legs, is twenty stories tall, and shoots lightening from its eyes?

Answer: I don't know, but it sure ain't happy.

A bunch of us went up against that monster, and so far the monster's winning. We need more people and we need a plan. Who's in?

Has anyone seen Chrno around? He's kinda short, long purple braid, wears red is gonna be black and blue when I get my hands on him...

So...yeah...has anyone seen him lately? I can't find him...

I know I must not be the only one around here who's bored~ I'll tell you all a little story, and maybe you'll forget about your boredom for just a little while. ♥

Once upon a time, long ago and far away, there lived a witch. This little witch fell in love, as many humans do. However, this witch fell in love with a demon--a king, in fact. This witch believed that everyone had love, even demons. So the demon king and the witch were married, and they loved each other very much. For a time, they were happy.

And then they had a son. ♥

Now, the witch wanted her son to grow up to be loving and good, so she always scolded him when he acted badly. And one day he got very sick. So sick that he was going to die! The boy's parents were worried, and nobody could find a cure for him. The witch knew how, though, and even though the demon king tried to stop her, the witch loved her son so much she was willing to go through with it anyway: sacrificing her life for his.

So the witch died, and the boy was saved by her love.

But then demon boy decided that love was why his mother had died, and so he stopped believing in love.

Poor Laharl, so convinced his mother died because of love that he rejected it entirely. It makes what she did entirely pointless, doesn't it? ♥

Hmph, there's been a hell of a lot of new idiots people around (and a hell of a lot have left... geez... Go figure I'm still stuck here...) I figure I might as well repeat this. This is all there is really to know about this place:

1. This damn hell of a place is called Paixao. It's in some other world, on an island, probably in another dimension. Maybe even an alternate one. Who the hell knows.

2. Is there anything else here other than this island? Don't know either. If you want to swim for, who knows how far, knock yourself out, there could be. I'd still like to see this thin out some of the idiots around here... bet it'll never happen though.

3. No, you can't leave. I can't even get my Dimensional Gatekeeper to get me away from here, which has never happened before.

4. This place is full of idiotic, blonde residents. They're more damn useless than even normal humans generally are.

5. People can come from not just other worlds but different times. Some even back from the dead or something weird. It's all damn annoying.

6. All the plant life is outside, everything inside is fake. It's damn weird.

7. There's... this Organization in charge. They... You should avoid them.

8. It really really sucks.

So there you go.

Hellooooo~ adoring public! It's me: your amazing, spectacular, absolutely extraordinary king moderator here. Givin' a shout out to all my fellow 'kats out there and you citizens.

As you know, I've been keeping track of the recent events involving kidnapped citizens. Victims endured... Many means of torture while locked up in separate small cells by the organization.

After several days, however, we are beginning to see members of those kidnapped appear back in the city. Some look to suffer from some form of amnesia (not as strong as the one that was going around awhile ago) that prevents them from remembering anything from the events that took place while they were imprisoned. Others (who may or may not remember) physical, mental, and/or emotional damage.

If you see any one of our kidnapped eight, don't hesitate to lend a paw n' help 'em out if needed. Be sure to approach with caution, however. We're not completely sure about everything the organization has done to them.

Speakin' of which, known members of the organization seem to be growing. Another just arrived here a few days ago. Unfortunately another rather 'friendly' one. -They also all have an 'x' in their name for some reason. Am I the only one who noticed that?

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!

Laharl
Kovu
Link
Valerie

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
Jing
Lan
Rosette
Saitou Hajime
Seta Soujirou
Jack Skellington
Gaston

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.
