Dockside Killer Escapes
Identity Of Those Helping Him Unknown

By THE DOCKSIDE NEWS REPORT

Sources say that on September 20th, in the midst of the zombie outbreak, Horaetio Renne Arc'err escaped from prison with help. While it is known that he was helped in his escape, the identities of those who helped him is unknown.

The guards were only rendered unconscious, but if Arc'err and his accomplices are ever apprehended, Judge Wright of the RhyDin Municipal Courts says that they will all be dealt with harshly. Prosecutor Harold Lowe, now released from his duties, had no comment on the situation.

There is currently no reward being offered for Arc'err's capture, as all extra city monies are being directed to rebuilding from the zombie outbreak, but citizens are advised to keep an eye out. The subject is described as small, blue, with large ears, yellow hair, glowing eyes and transparent teeth.

Any sightings should be immediately reported to the RhyDin Watch.

Prunella Prum Retires!

By ELLY~

The lovely Primrose Floral Shoppe has been located on the eastern market streets for the last 62 years, currently neighboring the still new clothing shop, A Stitch in Time. It's run by the aging Prunella Prum, who specializes not only in live flowers but in making beautiful, intricate floral pieces out of silk! I asked around and combed the Memorial Center myself to discover that 73% of the arrangements and pieces on the graves were Prunella Prum's doing! Wow!

Sadly, Miss Prum will be retiring at the end of October, saying that she '…thinks it's time to take a break'. Losing her and her talent will be such a great loss to us all, but it should be interesting to see what impact it has on the economics of the flower industry! Hopefully RhyDin won't become a bleak, flowerless place without her.

Miss Prum will be holding a 70% off sale in her final month of working, so you better act fast to get her last workings! She's also been gracious enough to donate time and effort to craft a float for the upcoming Harvest Festival Parade, so you'll be able to enjoy her talents there as well!

Mysterious Fliers

By ANONYMOUS

Mysterious fliers have started popping up all around RhyDin. Plastered on telephone poles and lamp posts, on building walls, anywhere and everywhere! They've begun to become as big of an infestation as the zombies that just recently breezed through! These fliers say only one thing: "October 1, 2007: don't stand too close to the closet door!"

The fliers appear to be written in a variety of colored crayons, by hand.

The Watch and citizens alike claim that they did not see who had plastered these fliers all over the city, but after the zombie outbreak, most people are inclined to believe that it is a far less dangerous infestation.

Now what, do you think, could that possibly mean?

New Addition To The Rhydin Animal Hospital

From ROB MITCHELL

The RhyDin Animal Hospital is expanding its ability to treat the sick and wounded pets and working animals of RhyDin. Recently given a large contribution towards this project, Jacob Arche (the owner of the facility) has begun expansion in order to better serve the community.

Currently skeletal framework of the addition can be seen, and according to sources, this will lead to the opening of brand new examination rooms as well as expanding the current small front office into something more easily accessible.

Any further contributions towards the RhyDin Animal Hospital can be sent to Jacob Arche.

From The Governor's Desk

By KITTY O HELSTON
September 2007

Well my good people, another month and the more things change, the more they stay the same.

I'd like to report the playground has finished! Please feel free to take your children to play on the new Fun Fortress! There is also a space of open field for those other games children like to play. Maybe with everyone popping kids out these days, we'll be able to start our own football team!

I'd like to thank everyone for their work in helping rid the town of the Zombie infestation. And I'd like to extend an extra special thank you to those who have volunteered to clean up the mess. Zombies stink bad enough as it is, but they smell even worse after they've been made permanently dead.

I'd also like to announce that I will be throwing a Governor's Ball sometime within the next month. I'm presently taking volunteers for catering and musical entertainment. It's just a little something to let everyone know that we don't have to be overwhelmed with dramatics ALL the time.

As a final note, remember to smile. When you're feeling really bad, just remember, it could always be worse. You

could be one of those they're scraping off the pavement!

Military Class Weapon Stolen!

By TERA STARFARE

I was doing my sweep of the Guard reports when I came up a rather different one today faithful readers. This one spoke of the usual warehouse over in the west end of town being robbed but not your usual items were taken. Now the security was better at this place as they did have cameras set up although the person or persons knew it and disabled them according to the report so the thief or thieves weren’t caught by the camera. The Guard reports that a whole lot of crates were found opened but it looked like nothing had been removed from them. That is except for one particular item.

The Guard was actually doing their job right and went to the place that made the item that was stolen in this robbery and found out that the CG-24 proximity mine is a Military class weapon and it has the ability to rip through not only concrete but cobblestone and steel as well. This being the case it is anyone’s guess just what the culprit or culprits have in mind for what could be termed a deadly weapon in perhaps the hands of madmen running loose in our fair city!

G's P.O.V.

By G'NORT DRAGOON-TALANADOR

Hello my faithful readers, or reader. Whomever reads this faithfully. It's yet again another time for an edition of You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? Otherwise known as G's P.O.V.

Sometimes, it's difficult for me to come up with something to write about. Generally it's complaining about the way things are run around here, done, ignored, perceived, etc. Generally, it's just me talking, bitching, complaining. Sometimes it's difficult to narrow it to a single topic. And sometimes it's difficult to remember what I was going to complain about.

It's in this spirit that I say sometimes it's quite easy to find a complaint or three. Some of you may have read in your favorite gossip column about an exchange between myself and some woman named Serena. Well, I'm going to set the record straight as to why there was an exchange.

It starts off like this. Serena's sister came in screaming at the top of her lungs about something she read in a *Gossip Column!* Okay, first point of contention. A gossip column is not based in fact. Gossip columns are telling you, the readers, any juicy bits of information that is so interesting, it will continue to keep you coming back for more. What does all this mean? It means that it's not necessarily true! That seemed to be forgotten. So, instead of running around like a chicken with its head cut off screaming at the top of your lungs that your S/O is a cheating bastard,(Which he may very well be) it's always best to verify this information before you look foolish when you find out it may not have been true.

Secondly, the screaming part. Is it necessary to scream? I don't mean this one incident. There's been several times where someone will come around and just start yelling at the top of his/her lungs about everything they can. It's obnoxious. Believe me, I know, I'm well versed in how to be obnoxious. You're an adult and there's absolutely no reason to be screaming at the top of your lungs, either about how your S/O cheated on you, or because you're trying to wake someone sleeping or any other reason. Be a responsible person. Discuss private patters respectably and with normal tones. You're likely to get better response from them about the incident. Instead of screaming holy hell at the top of your lungs trying to wake someone up, be a man and shake them gently to get their attention. If that doesn't work, be the prankster who dips their hand in a bowl of warm water and watch everyone get a good laugh.

The third part, If someone is screaming so loud that it's annoying, then they're screaming like a banshee. The Banshee is a creature well known for its keening wail, a scream so loud it physically hurts. So, the common comparison is that the person is screaming like a banshee. It's a figure of speech. Get used to it because people use many figure of speeches. It's like saying "Hi baby!" Are you actually a baby? No, you're a woman and your S/O has a pet name for you. "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!" You're hungry, yes, but could you actually eat a horse? Doubtful. The size of the horse is not comparable to the size of even an above average sized person's stomach.

Unless you, yourself, are a large beast, you won't eat a horse, and even then, you probably won't finish it. Large beasts generally stick to sheep. They're slower and are more filling and are high in fibre.

Next, we're adults here. If someone insults someone else, I'm pretty sure they can stick up for themselves, there's no need to step in. However, I'm not too harsh on this subject, because defending others is an honorable action and done with good intentions. However, since I'm selfish and egotistical, I'm going to take the high road on this and say let them defend themselves.

And lastly on this sort of subject, this goes for everyone, from children to women to old men. If you're man enough to take a shot at another man, you'd better damn sure be man enough to take a return shot. This is specifically aimed at those who think I was a dastardly person for hitting Serena back. I don't know where people got the crazy idea that I'm chivalrous, because I'm not really, but if you're going to hit me, I'm going to hit you back unless I'm already convinced I deserved it. So, Serena stepping up and punching me first was enough of a reason for her to get hit back by me. And like a man, she took it without complaint! So, instead of condemning me for hitting a woman, congratulate her for taking a hit!

Yeah, so, if you're going to scream loud, expect annoyed reactions. If you read something from a gossip column, expect it to be exaggerated or untrue. Verify facts. React respectably and quietly so as not to disturb others. If you throw a punch, be prepared for retribution since for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In a side argument, some people seem to be confused over the situation I am finding myself in. Namely, why have I been seen flirting with other women? It's permissible in my marriage to flirt with others. Hell, it's common enough to see my wife, when she's around, being flirtatious as well. The only time it becomes cheating is when something against the rules actually happens. Remember this: It's NOT cheating if it Is Not against the rules! G'naughty G'nort, indeed! Luckily, I like that nickname.

In closing, tough women are hot, Serena, you know where to find me, screaming and whiny women are a major turn off. If you think your significant other cheated on you, break up with them and sleep with their best friend, that way, you find out that the best friend is better in bed, you're satisfied sexually finally, and emotionally because you got revenge, and the S/O is all grumbly because of it all, and leave it at that.

Being single is more fun anyway.
