Volume one, issue three. Weather: Cool with magic
CAVALCADE OF CANCELED MEETINGS
All of the scheduled meetings in the past few days have been either
cancelled or delayed, and the trend shows no sign of slowing down.
Friday's was canceled because Dr. Fluffernutter was sick, and
Saturday's was canceled because Hexina was. The mass was delayed til
five, then delayed again to six, then taken over by Father Flaherty.
(See related story below) The meeting to discuss investigations last
night was cancelled by Dr. F., saying "It iz all in ze paper, go read
that." Tonight's meeting, has also been cancelled by Mr. Forturo, no
reason given.
LOCH NESS MONSTER NOT SEEN AT TRIALS SATURDAY NIGHT
Most of the conference was in attendance in the courtroom Saturday
night, as four trials were conducted. These were in general conducted
more speedily than Mr. Pan's had been, although the fact that there
were four of them, and that a gigantic version of Maurice Chevalier
interrupted them for a long period of time, demanding to fight one of
the defendants, Damien. Damien was charged with assult with a deadly
weapon, theft, assult with a deadly weapon again, and attempted murder. He
pleaded no contest to the first two charges, and not guilty to the
later ones. He was found guilty on all counts, and shipped off to
Santa Fe. Then there were the twin trials of Otto Braun and Cardinal
Robspierre, each accusing the other of assult and battery. Mr. Braun
was decided to be the guilty party in the case, and is serving out a
term of several days in jail here, said term to end sometime early
thursday morning. The fourth trial, against the Cardinal for theft,
was waived when the charges were dropped.
LIGHTING LASHES LOA, PATRICIA PASSES ON
Immediately after the trials, as a group of military personelle
escorted Damien to his helicopter, Damien also grew to a giant form,
and fought Mr. Chevalier. The rest of those in attendance were held
motionless as the two fought with great lightnings flying back and
forth. It ended with Mr. Chevalier apparently the winner, although
both passed out. No charges have been brought in this matter, and Mr.
Chevalier claims to remember very little, and not understand what he
remebers. Shortly after this, as the matter was being cleared up,
Patricia McGoo, the Avon representative, fell over dead, apparently of
a heart attack. The Sheriff suspects foul play, and would appreciate
information from anyone who knows anything about the subject. Hexina
is the new Avon representative.
HEART HEISTED
Denise was apparently not left to rest in peace after she died, as
someone went into the morgue and stole her heart. It was later
recovered floating in a toilet. Whether this was related to her
claims that she needed blood to save her soul is unknown. Any
information on this grisly mystery would also be appreciated by the
authorities.
CLEMENZA, CARDINAL (AND CASTILLE?) CASH IN
Rafael Clemenza and Cardinal Robespierre were both found dead
sometime shortly after midnight last night. (In seperate locations)
They both apparently died of wounds to the torso, although I do not
know whether these wounds were caused by physical bullets or magical
means. Investigations are continuing. The Sheriff and his Deputy
also believe that there was a murder sometime around 8 o'clock Sunday
morning, and although they are unsure of the victim, believe it may
have been Ricardo Castille. Ricardo, if you're out there, let us know
you're still ok.
GHOST POPULATION GROWING, GHOSTBUSTERS GOING GA-GA
The Ghostbusters were kept almost continuously on the run from
about midnight last night, catching ghosts. They have not yet come
forward with an explanation for the sudden surge of ghostly activity,
but are attempting to keep to their new contract to protect the
conference. The contract, jointly with Avon, AAPP, Aragon, Beatrice,
and Dow (but not with PJIST), requires them to provide protection from
ghosts in the area of Peyote Junction for the duration of the
conference.
IGNATIOUS IN INSTITUTE, INCITES INVESTIGATION
The Pope was here last night for a short time, before being picked
up by emmissaries from the Swiss Guard to return him to the Vatican.
Apparently he had been kidnapped from there approximately three months
before, and he claims not to remember any of that period of time.
There is some talk that Mr. Clemenza may have had something to do with
all this, but unfortunately, he's dead and can't answer questions.
Again, the authorities would appreciate any information you have.
(Note that in all these cases, if you have information you wish
delievered anonymously, I'm more than willing to volunteer my services
for such an action.)

It appears that the constraints on my time are such that the paper
is in general going to be coming out every two days, rather than
daily. I apologize for this, but without assistance, it's the best I
can do.
