Guess who's still alive!!
If you need a totally competent and reliable
insider of shady corps, syndicates,
groups of any kind or something
then I'm your guy.
//ProjectMoon OC blog to join the fun :)
So ever since the Shi got on my tail I’ve had to keep quiet about my whereabouts. For a while I kept running until I hid behind another syndicate that’s been gaining traction recently, the “Yurodiviye”. From what I get they’re mostly a bunch of humanitarians (not in the inquisition sense though). They’re pretty chill aside from the cult-like praise they give to this white haired guy sometimes.
As for the Shi assassin sent to get me, let’s just say “John” probably won’t be seen around the office for a while.
Not that kind of cheese. It's cheese specifically designed to attract certain Heathcliff, let's say :)
There are multiple spots to add to my already lengthy daily walks now (everyone knows that to catch vermin you need more than one trap), but it is small price to pay for ending Erlking's rule of terror.
On that note, do you happen to know anyone with access to heavy metal chains? Made of tungsten, if possible.
Ohh aight gotcha. So that guy likes cheese too? What a copycat, only I can like cheese.
Anyways, I been hanging around the Yurodiviye folk and they have a bunch of machinery and metal stuff laying around. Pretty sure I saw chains. Not sure what it’s made out of exactly but my teeth can’t snap them (I tried) so I think they’re good enough. I can mail them to you if yw.
*a box has been left outside. looks to hold a larger animal, with an index seal on the top*
*inside is... Snakehead? but you're snakehead. in fact there's three of you in there, all with the same purple haze around them.*
I take it back, this delivery is pretty impressive. I wonder if these are somehow related to the mirror identities.
Hey, @7association-was-here, do you have any intel on identities with distinctly purple-ness to them ? I´ve got some which look sort of like me, but given that I haven´t run into any mirror versions of myself (let alone multiple versions that are somewhat purple), so these might be different thing.
You are free to come check them out. I will put the cage... somewhere where they won´t pose immediate threat if they broke out, I suppose.
They seem to just stare ahead, no attempt at communication. Or rather, when I tried to ask them something, their mouths moved in sync with mine but what sounds came out couldn't be called words by any means.
I haven't ruled out violence yet, even though theu didn't demonstrate any of it.
We’ve heard that recently the cleanup crews of W corp encountered a similar doppelgänger situation. As well as a few other isolated cases elsewhere around the city.
Though even now we’re not very sure what they are exactly. They don’t seem to be identities? Unless there is somehow a Mirror possibility of a world in which everyone is a braindead fungus-smelling purple hazed creature. Some of our fixers speculate that they’re faulty clones but they could be something else entirely.
Peccatulum. you heard me right. They’ve been popping up a lot all round the city. Looks like someone at N corp in charge of keeping those puppies locked up was sleeping on the job or something. Not sure where they got new shape shifting peccatulum from in the first place but yeah.
I saw one being sold for the price of approximately 10 cheese wheels in a good old dark shady alley. classic.

yo who the fuck are the Yurodiv— Oh. Oh I see now. Yeah..
Hm… Perhaps. Yes, perhaps I could sneak behind Yurodiviye to get away from the TLA.. join them for a bit and stuff. Surely they provide free security and healthcare for members, right? Like those paper… Er, prescript peoples.
Eisen und Blut, feat. Peccatulum Sweep. A report of the recent events in L Corp. territory
Since I have finally have the time to wind down and write this out, here it is. Note that some of the details were obscured* by myself as they fall under an NDA, but after a brief consultation I was advised to include them. All the same, the information does not fall under Hana Association´s censorship policy, so I had to make do with what resources I have available.
*■■■■■■■■■ ■■■■ is not responsible for any attempts of accessing the obscured information
Following a wave of peculiar inactivity from the peccatula in the fallen L Corp. streets, necessary research was conducted. After studying the resources provided by the Dieci Association´s library, it appeared that a foreign dangerous presence has entered the territory, upsetting the "local ecosystem". This theory was further supported by finding material evidence, an N Corp. Inquisitor seal.
Though approach of the situation was most delicate, the abrupt ambush by N Corp members had pushed me to engage F. Kromer, more commonly known as "The One Who Grips" in a state which resembled the distortion phenomenon. However, it had distinct difference to the distortion phenomenon, as the subject bore peccatulae form with some humanoid traits retained. Such form had not been part of the distortion phenomenon and as the consensus on distortions states that "peccatula are distinctly what becomes of individuals who had failed to enter the distorted state", I will refer to it as "chimera".
Due to past history with the individual prior to entering the chimera form (a brief period of obrumuk uqvrr dll wapw samxpsn), I have attempted to reason with them, as I imagined she was a distortion and thus retained some level of cognition. This was quickly proven as a falsehood, as the chimera attacked with little warning. Though I have successfully fended off the combined forces of a group of armored Inquisitors alongside the chimera, I was injured in the combat.
Following the necessary safety protocol issued following my demotion, I have isolated myself while in the vulnerable state. Thanks to the in-person request made by the @zwei-association-official, I was able to acquire the crucial symptom mitigation substance mix, as delivered by the @zweiassociationfixer.
PECCATULUM SWEEP ADDENDUM
In accordance with the fixer request protocols, I have taken the case as presented by the Zwei reports. Caged peccatula have appeareed around the City in numerous locations with major leads pointing to L Corp. as the source of this "trade".
Working with @zweiassociationfixer, few sites of capture and containment were identified and dismantled within an old L. Corp branch. N Corp. is suspected to have hand in this trade, as vast amount of activity had ceased after the N Corp. Inquisitors were dealt with. Ever since, the number of peccatula running around the L Corp. has stabilized. Whether that is a good thing is up for a debate.

I did hear Nagel und Hammer got pretty pissed off by something recently. Something about tree branches, blue scarves and soap operas.
And about the peccatulum being traded around, I definitely think it’s them behind it. I don’t know what they’re doing with those weird flesh critters you got around there but from the looks of it they’re planning something, at least. Genetic modification? Selling them as really fucked up looking dogs? Making a brigade just like that scary lady from the Seven? Who knows.
When you were in K Corp, did you see someone that looked like me carrying a large amount of bugs with them? The most noticeable one being the large mantis on shoulder? I’ve been wondering if K was ok, I know that 7 has checked in on them, but they never told the main group about if they were ok.
- @zweiassociationfixer
Erm. I don’t think so, no. You’re that one with a bunch of siblings and stuff right? I’ve never seen anyone like you at the TLA or at K corp. But to be fair they’re both pretty big groups so there’s no way I can know everyone there for sure
Well, it seems this is the conclusion of the Dessert agents’ short-livid vacation. Rather unfortunate if we do say so ourselves. Heathcliff proudly pulled up to the office wearing a pirate hat (presumably given by the Whistleblower), while Faust has her usual facepalming expression on. Thankfully our fixers came back mostly unharmed, with the exception of a certain someone who thought it would be a good idea to grill the yellow flowers apparently.
We also have the two Pequod crew members in our custody now. Or more like one since their Yi Sang was very cooperative and willing, unlike the Captain who had to be further restrained with copious amounts of duct tape by Heathcliff. Some more interesting individuals to interview, and if we’re not mistaken there was also an Ishmael at Shi Association..?
That aside, Heathcliff said that the moment they docked the Whistleblower was nowhere to be found. “The silly rat just went ahead and left”, some of our other fixers reported. But no doubt we will encounter them again.
And with that concluded Faust and Heathcliff can once again assist in the current Mirror Identity phenomenon.
Oh yeah oops. Sorry about that, I had to skedaddle. After all that’s happened I think I have at least 4 different syndicates looking for my cranium so I didn’t wna take the risk by sticking around. If you guys need any inside info though you know where to ask ;)
Hey uhm @7association-was-here, specifically to Miss Director, we got your message about leaving U corp and to stay away from those flower thingies. I can indeed confirm they’re not very safe to touch, and their spores can definitely cause bodily malfunction. They’re totally icky.
My boss (well, former boss) was crazy obsessed with spreading them, I’m not surprised this was the TLA’s doing. They probably brought them here through that funky hallway with the doors and stuff, just like how I got here. Though that means they probably have some kind of boat of their own that’s used for dropping off the flowers in all the lakes, because that hallway thing only works if there’s also some kind of entrance or exit on the other side too. You guys can do your thing and track that boat down if you want.
But big issue right now is that the Captain… She uh, won’t listen or let us leave..
This is Outis, thank you for the update and additional information. It is true that we have yet to fulfill the request we promised to the Captain as alternative payment, and knowing that Captain denying her word is equally a risk. So your best chances now are to find her crew as fast as possible and then make your exit out of U corp it seems. Tied between that or hijacking the boat for yourselves which… Is not recommended, to say the least.
For now tell everyone to stay vigilant and to not come into contact with those blossoms.
