Deputy Marshall Wynter (Rachael Wynter): The scarred law woman in black still investigates various crime sprees, including a recent series of muggings in the slum areas. She made a recent public appearance at the Silver Moon Inn after evidence was discovered in a nearby alley of the murder of one Larry "Grabber" Nelson, a perpetrator previously charged with five counts of aggravated assault and two counts of petty theft.

Diana Lasher (Fragile Fury): No news this week.

Doctor Maranya Tatiana Valkonan (Maranya Valkonan): She's tending to her patients as usual. The good Doctor took another brief break from her usual duties and made a public appearance at the Silver Moon Inn. Maranya has also been spending some time volunteering her medical services at a local free clinic.

Drake Valkonan (Drake Valkonan): No news this week.

Dris (BardGaIIant): Still mostly tending. Aside from that, he has been spending the rest of his time at home and on the streets. Believe it or not, he is still trying to find that stupid cat. There are also rumors about him trying to think of what to do with the materials he got from his nephew for his birthday. The best option being a piano, but he's very indecisive.

Dr. Newborn (Nigel Newborn): No news this week.

Ehzoterik VonArcanum Tempestas (Ehzoterik): No news this week.

Elaine (Elaine Aqua): Elaine continues to make batches of cinnamon rolls for the person who got her bad dreams to stop. She still misses her brother Banshee (Banshee Aqua) and really doesn't believe he's truly gone.

Emmy (Empress Grayfur): In her humble opinion, cinnamon tastes awful.

Erasimus Greene (PersistanceTime): No news this week.

Faye: She Who Tends the Dead (Faye Random): Still hibernating.

Fury (ReversedHaIo): No news this week.

Gem (Gemethyst): Gem has had several weeks of no trouble. It is amazing. Well. There was the whole Sin/Ryn/Gabriel thing, with the bullets, fire and gunshot wounds. But that doesn't really count. She was healed. Annnyway, other than that, no trouble. Little Rei is not letting his mother sleep much, so she is a trifle cranky, not that it shows. She is still working out and preparing to take up her career again. Still looking for the perfect nanny. There does not seem to be anyone applying for the position. Perhaps her requirements are too stringent? Kakabel has taken up residence in her manor, which is still a surprise to her. Seems he wants to protect his son from all harm. He still has no memory of her or their relationship, but has decided to believe the child is his and take up his fatherly duties. He is occupying the upper floor of her manor, and they are purely platonic, of course. She is hardly there but for taking care of her son's needs. She has decided to let Kakabel take care of him as much as he wants. For now. Now any applying nanny has to also pass his requirements, too.

Irina Braeden (Irina Braeden): In this week's installment, Irina's still working at her new job, no Metroid attacks!, made a few new friends, got her cast off last week!, learned how to shoot neat guns, got two new neat guns and ammo!, didn't catch the viruses out there yet!, teaching people to dance, hits the local inns most every night and yet she still finds time to work on the next issue of Bright Suns. All in all, a pretty typical week for this native Rhydin resident. Stay tuned.

J (Duncan J Harper): Still no successful research completed on this mysterious entity.

Jack Bishop (Jackrabbit Blue): Too much news. Where to start? He has been trying to be less and less of a hermit, and has been seen quite frequently at the Silver Moon Inn. Hanging out with whomever from the gang is around. Helping Joe (Joe Yamada), they discovered that Irina's (Irina Braeden) family might be spying on her. He also got to talk quite a bit with Cadence (Cadence Halliwell), avoiding as much of a game of 20 Questions as he could. After taking a swim in a lake, running a marathon around the whole of Rhydin, and playing crime scene investigator without a badge -- you'd think his week was busy. But he has still been very reluctant to talk about the biggest thing that is bothering him.

Jade (Irreverent Jade): Still pretty much a vegetable.

Jane Doe (Doe eyed Jane): This sultry siren has wandered into town and is currently rooming with Irina. Jane is currently seeking employment as a singer.

Jesiah Daen (Jesiah Daen): It has been a slightly eventful week for Jessie. He put in an application to Mestrangelo Enterprises and is waiting for a response. He is also keeping an eye and ear out for any odd jobs that might come along. Happily, one did come along a few nights ago while he was trying to cheer up Irina (Irina Braeden). She told him that she was being followed and he immediately offered his bodyguarding services. In a sheer twist of good fortune, a chance to prove his capability presented itself almost immediately after his offer, as a demon tried to attack the pair while looking for its head. It had apparently decided that Jesiah's head would be a suitable substitue and attempted to remove it. Jesiah, ardently disagreeing with this notion, added the demon's hands and wrists to the list of missing parts and ran to Irina's aid just as she passed out. Severed heads flying towards your face will do that to you. Jesiah is still awaiting an answer to his offer.

Johan (Johan the Hunter): Rumor has it that management has gone on vacation.

Joshua (Fashion Error): No news this week.

Kakabel (FrameworkMemento): News is that he has moved out of the monastery and into Gem's mansion. After being told that Rei is his son, he has been very reluctant to be too far away. So he has moved in to help take care of the baby.

Kevin (Kevin N Summers): No news this week.

Kulkem: (The Multifarious): One of the mightiest human wizards of this age, Kulkem hails from the world of Yrth and is a specialist in elemental magic. Within the physical realm, he is capable of casting most spells silently, the epitome of skill. Late Wednesday night, in the Silver Moon Inn, he took a commission from Irina Braeden to create a weapon with which she might defend herself from 'Mister Kittycat' as she calls him. He agreed to enchant her a bullet which, for about an eighth of a second after being fired from it's gun, would not interact with any matter or energy in this continuum except for living tissue. It's a slim chance, given the adversaries capacities, but slim beats none.

Early Monday morning, a pale and listless Kulkem came into the Silver Moon Inn and left a small package invisibly waiting for Irina. The next time she entered, it presented itself to her. We can only assume it contained the 'magic bullet'.

Kymeera: The Nightmare Keeper (The Dream Warden): No news this week.

L (LSama, SMI LSama):No news this week.

Mallora (Ma11ora): No news this week.

Matakhat Cain (Matakhat Cain): With what started as bad news that Cat's father was missing, later proved him dead. The Duke of Mackamore, Armand Cain, was found at one of his residences dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Cat left friday for her home, Bellecrest, for the funeral.

Apparently planned in advance, Armand did make arrangements for her guardians, Don and Syd, to have power of attorney should anything happen to him. This latest news sent shock waves to the widow, Duchess Angelica Cain, who is outraged by her husband's decision to take away legal rights regarding Matakhat until she is 21 years of age. It seems Angelica's plans for Cat to wed Sir Royce Kingsley are now in legal limbo. This is good news for Cat and Stephen.

Cat returned Sunday night obviously still in mourning.

Matriel (Rarefied Rain): No news this week.

Melly (Melanie Wyndham): Will the shy relief baker and counter help at Ariana's Divine Delights Bakery ever tend bar at the Silver Moon Inn?

Mervyn (Vicious Mervyn): The tillsnake is doing well, but has been rather reclusive as of late. Perhaps too much indigestion from magiced coins?

Mesteno (Bronze Mesteno): No news this week.

Mestrangelo (MestrangeIo): No news this week.

Mithril/Gadreel/Lusus (ASaintOfSinners): No news this week.

Morgan Knight (Morgan Rampage): No news this week.

Mozart (AmadaeusFelidae): Still missing.

Nerissa Siallie (Nerissa Siallie): No news this week.

Nicole Brock Anorlasvessë (Nicole E Brock): No news this week.

Ophelia (EspressoBlues): No news this week.

Parhi Grimjaws (The Multifarious): No News this week.

Pleione (Stellar Balinese): Now that Kakabel has moved in, she doesn't have to spend so much time watching over Rei. Not that she isn't practically attached to the baby's side anyway. The night Kakabel "came home," she went out to the Silver Moon Inn to get some free cream. Ending up tearing up some jerk's face and getting flung at a wall. Thankfully there was a nice elf and a nice girl who took care of her, making sure she got healed. Seamus (Seamus Wylie) and Irina (Irina Braeden) are now added to her list of blood bonded people whom she can communicate with.

Rachael MacLeod (RachaeI MacLeod): No news this week.

Raef (Hraefn Korppi): No news this week.

Ramiel (Ember Shade): No news this week.

Randall Woods (Elaborate Guns): No news this week.

Rei (AmethystStarfall): Still sleeping, eating, and soiling diapers. Ah, the simple life of an infant.

Rekah (Rekah Dravina): Her birthday is coming up!

Revari: The Daydream Weaver (KaleidoscopeWhim): No news this week.

Rhiannon Brock (Rhiannon D Brock): No news this week.

Rose Hayes Valkonan (Electrum Rose): No news this week.

Seamus and Rose (Seamus Wylie, A Stray Rose): And what a week it was. After declaring that she didn't love him and that he wasn't worth the effort, Rose took off from Seamus' apartment. He was seen wandering a couple of times, looking pretty much like human wreckage, until Cat spotted Rose at Morgan's and informed him of this. Not much was heard until a day or two later, when Rose was suddenly back home and all was well- a mistake, apparently, had been made. Under equally mysterious circumstances, Cat took Rose out and gave her a makeover- her red, curly hair is now blonde and straight, and her freckles are gone, making her look, in her own words, "like a piece of parchment." The couple have been seen to be fairly happy in public ever since, though Seamus looked sick for a couple of days after Rose's return, and there has been some very happy news slowly being made public: Rose is pregnant. An unplanned pregnancy, certainly, but they have said they will be keeping the baby.

Shiver (The Multifarious): This week, Shiver the white dragon made it clear that as the weather warms, he is finding it rather intemperate for him, so he's going back to his own realm in the Land of Fundamental Ice (for those D&D afficianados out there, that's the Para-elemental Plane of Ice), where it's nice and cool. He'll be back next fall, we assume. In the meantime, only those who go where he is will be seeing him. And it'll take a lot of convincing to get him back to Rhydin in the summertime.

Stephen Valkonan (Stephen Valkonan): No news this week.

Suriel (Thirteenthchange): No news this week.

Sydney and Donatello Harada (SmileFang, DonatalIo Harada): Not much has been heard out of this couple this week, as they haven't been seen much in public. The last they were seen was in an almost private moment at the Silver Moon Inn, telling their ward, Cat, that they do love her and wish she was their daughter. It's fairly well known that the pair can't have children of their own.

Terrance Tomar-Duncan (Terrance Tomar): Terrance has gone to Earth and he will be back when he is back.

The Archangel Camael (Emerald Nimbus):No news this week.

The Cottontail Menace (Cottontail Menace): The bunnies are reproducing at incredible rates and some have even developed the powers of speech and logic. They seem to be concentrated around vegetable farms but there are also reports of the rabbits ransacking grain stores.

The Orcish Horde (SNs Pending): The Horde still moves on the farmlands surrounding Rhydin. Farmers continue to stream into Rhydin proper seeking shelter. At least one farmer has been seen trying to hire mercenaries to defend his village. For now, it seems that the Horde is not advancing any closer to Rhydin proper but sitting on the farmlands as if waiting.

The Red Suits (Keep em clean): Red suits have been spotted all over Rhydin scanning citizens at random. Very little is known about these suits other than they speak in an odd language of clicks and pops and their Basic/Common translators are very poor. Witnesses report hearing the suits state something about an area 50km west of Municipal Spaceport #32.

Tomas Dante Diablo (Rev DiabIo, Revered Tengu): No news this week.

Tricky Streets (Tricky Streets): No news this week.

Troy (Troy Embry): No news this week.

Vadriel (Vadriel de Guise): No news this week.

Valleana (Va11eana): No news this week.

Wilhelm "Dozer" Braun (SMI Dozer): No news this week.

Yoshi (KitsuneNineTails): Gasp! There is no news on the kitsune? That is not a good thing, for it means that he can merrily go about his mischief unsupervised.

Zeke (XZekeil DrakeX): Zekeil is still away. No one knows when he will return, but, oddly enough, witness have actually spotted what seems to be an apparition in the Silver Moon Inn. This spectre has appeared on three occasions. Coincidentally, each of the instances have been on Colleen's (SMI Colleen)'s shift. Each time, Zekeil appears coming from the stairs leading to the second floor. His eyes are downcast and he makes straight for the bar. Upon reaching it, he promptly disappears without a trace. Once, Gem (Gemethyst) tried to speak to him. He was unresponsive. When she reached out to touch him, he disappeared instantly. Then, this Sunday, he appeared for the third time. This time, he actually looked at Collie and tried to communicate. Unsuccessful, he resumed his walk to the bar and disappeared... The topic of Zekeil Drake K The topic of Zekeil Drake Keelan is deliberately avoided by the general public.

Zelphina (XZeIphina): Still missing.
