Are there others who wish to go in search of this 'door' we have been told so much of of late? Rinoa Heartilly, for one, has expressed interest, as have I, but I would welcome more companions.

Furthermore, I was notified that others had plans to explore the islands for the hidden door. If these people would allow me, and any other interested people, to travel alongside them, I should be grateful.

Thank you.

OOC: I'll just go ahead and start an meet-up thread in Paixao RPG with you guys tagged, ja? I'll just assume Prince has contacted you all with a meeting place for us all to set out from. Feel free to hop in after the event/bring people; Princey's open.

OOC: ETA--post up here! Sorry for my recent vanishing.

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?

Dear loyal devotees Paixao,

Long time no see. I wish I had some good news to share over this thing for once, but doesn't look like that's gunna happen any time soon.

In case some of you didn't notice, we got some new company here in the city. Finally revealing themselves not too long ago, how 'bout we give a nice warm welcome to the ever abominable Maleficent, Jafar, and Hades? They seem ta think they're the new law around here. I'm sure they'll get some sense knocked into 'em sooner or later, though. If you get the chance, you should check out their lovely decorating 'round the city. They've surrounded city hall in thorns, which they're currently hiding behind in case you're interested in paying them a visit.

You should still be on alert for the Organization, they've performed several kidnappings and may be preparing for more. They're still dangerous, not to be trusted, and incredibly sneaky these days. If you're unfamiliar with any of this, check my old message board posts that'll explain these kidnappings, experments, and stuff 'bout the Org. in general. They've also got information 'bout the Heartless and Nobodies runnin' around lately so take a little looksie when you can.

In regards to the kidnappings, we can only confirmed so many. I still believe there are more victims out there, though. I'm still workin' on a list of all those reported missing so 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.

You Know Who

Dear Paixaoans,

First of all, I just wanna say, all that stuff that's happened lately? You know, with... You know who and stuff? Yeah, let's just forget that ever happened, alright? I know a lot of people aren't happy with me, but with that little girl missing and Organization XIII on the move again, we got more important things ta worry about.

In the past, the Organization has performed several kidnappings. Victims were often, if not all, visitors like you n' me. What they endured... Uh, well, let's just say it wasn't pretty. All victims were tortured and used as experiments. If you're unfamiliar with any of this, past posts that can be found on the message board explain much about these kidnappings, experments, and the Organization. They also have information about these Heartless and Nobodies runnin' around lately so check 'em out if you got the chance, they're worth it.

Recently there has been an increase in reported missing visitors. Based off past, recent, and now successful attempts at kidnapping, the Organization can easily be placed responsible. AND! we got witnesses too! So just try gettin' outta that one!

So, because of this, it's best ta be alert. I've been goin' on, n' on, n' on for quite some time 'bout how dangerous they are. You should know what kinda threat they are by now too. It's best to keep away from them, but if you really want to settle things and most importantly help us retrieve those kidnapped, you should contact the General here.

At this point, only so many can be confirmed kidnapped. But this does not leave me to believe there are not more. Because it could be anyone, I will 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.

Just as before, 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 so that we can prevent further kidnappings and finally put the Organization to justice.

Sincerely,

You Know Who

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!

I wonder...

Has... Vyers... Ever been a~

King? ♥

Dear Sirs and Madames,

It is not my intention to be an inconvenience to any of you, but I do not know anywhere else to go to for assistance of this kind. So, I thank you in advance for your time and help... should you choose to provide it, because you don't have to, that's fine. No, I-

Though this is fairly urgent, I -a- That is, in an accident, I posted to my scroll box journal, a voice message, in err and it is imperative that I remove it.

If any of you knew how to do that... I would be very gracious for your help.

oh, that didn't come out well at all

Roses are red, violets are blue;
   Think of the things you've yet to do.
The lily is pale, the ivy is green;
   Think of the things than you haven't seen.
The crocus is purple, the clover is peach;
   Think of the things you've yet to teach.
The jasmine is white, the marigold, amber;
   Think of the things one must remember:
Roses are red, violets are blue;
   Everything's possible, nothing is true. 

THERE IS WHAT I BELIEVE IS KNOWN AS A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ONE LAHARL AND ONE VYERS. THEY HAVE EXPRESSED WISHES TO MAKE IT PUBLIC.

I BELIEVE THIS IS PUBLIC ENOUGH.

My name is Mia Fey, and I'm posting to this message board because I've spoken to a fair few people lately, some new to Paixao and some who have been here for a while, who want to know what this place is and why we're here. My friend Diego--Godot, he calls himself, who already posted on his journal asking for those who have answers to speak, wants to investigate this city, and I intend to help him. Others I've talked to are doing or intend to do the same. Some of us are doing this to get back to our worlds, some of us simply want answers--personally, I'm interested in staying in Paixao, and it's alarmed me to discover that people sometimes randomly, or seemingly randomly, disappear. I want to know the laws of this world, how it works, and I'm sure many of you want to know the same thing.

It occurs to me that we might be of more help to one another if we know who to talk to and share our answers with. These journals might not be the best place for doing so, since anyone can read them, and from what I've observed from comments, the veterans of this city have hinted that not everyone in Paixao is entirely trustworthy. But is there a network that meets face to face on occasion to compare investigations? And if not, would anyone be interested in forming one? At the very least we may benefit from recording where people come from and when they arrive, and looking for patterns. There are hundreds of ways to go about investigating Paixao and, I'm sure, hundreds of answers to be found. It's my hope that we can find the answers we want a lot faster by helping one another.
