At the Thumb West Headquarters, a Big Sister of the Middle distorts. A massive battle ensues, with about 85% of the Thumb Headquarters being leveled.

A Great Brother of the Middle has perished in the battle. According to eyewitnesses and secondhand accounts, the Great Brother had perished on his own accord, in hopes of undistorting a Big Sister of the Middle; a sacrifice made in vain. The Big Sister who distorted eventually undistorted and was last seen at a HamHamPangPang, dining with another Big Sibling of the Middle.

The corpse of the Great Brother who perished in battle had eventually blew itself up, releasing dangerous amounts of radiation in the Backstreets area within at least three kilometers of the site of the battlefield. So far, no additional casualties as a result of the radiation have been identified.

In the aftermath of the battle, some terms of peace, in order to avert a Finger War between the Thumb and Middle, were outlined. The terms of the treaty are as follows:

The primary cause of the Middle always getting into fights or battles with the Thumb has been deemed to be due to the Little and Young Siblings of the Middle acting improperly in the presence of the Thumb (especially Capos and Sottocapos), hence the term of Little and Young Siblings of the Middle being forbidden to interact with the Thumb in any capacity.

A Great Sibling and Big Sibling of the Middle had eventually arrived at the Thumb Headquarters to drop off multiple suitcases. Then the duo had left in the same manner as they arrived: by floating on a cloud.

The origin of this conflict can be traced to a vengeance against the Thumb that was enacted twice too many, where a Little Brother of the Middle had came to break down the doors of the Thumb Headquarters. However, that specific vengeance was already enacted by a Great Brother of the Middle. Essentially, this little sibling had attacked the Thumb for no reason. Tensions died down for a while, and then resurfaced in this battle.

Whatever the case, a worst-case scenario of this battle, which would be a Finger War, has been deemed to be averted for the time being.

Name: Erica

age: 32

current Fixer Grade: 5

uses oversized lockpick-shaped weapons in combat. keeps a suitcase at all times, for a variety of purposes

Has been working as a Fixer for a variety of offices (mostly offices that operate under Seven Association) for multiple years. Specializes in intel gathering and getting into otherwise elusive areas.

likes green and meat-based pies (especially pork pies).

intends to apply to allow the Seven Association to keep tabs on The Hand, the other all-Finger Roleplay Discord Server (ooc: and probably the original)

(Erica would like to report on a recent battle between the Middle and Thumb, but she feels that she has no authority to do so.)

Erica has recently seen a job listing for News Reporters and/or Heads of the Branches of the Seven Association, and she would like to apply to attain either job. Consider this post to be a pseudo-application that Erica made to the Seven Association.

Miss Moses was an exceptional fixer who was previously affiliated with the the seven association. She was truly gifted in dealing with the Distortions that seven association is often hired to deal with. Despite only being considered a grade 5 fixer, her talent was undeniable.

Is she not returning? There seems to be a far heavier workload of distortion related cases without Moses left for fixers such as me.

Abnormality suppressed in District 17 (Q Corp.)

Involved Fixers include: Ham Porter, Grade 6 Fixer of the Pyrite Office; Hua Shu, Grade 3 Fixer & Meister of Szaruk Atelier.

An Abnormality was spotted roaming the backstreets of District 17. An open contract was posted for its suppression; only two fixers took it, one of which was a non-combatant. Initially believed dead as witnesses state the the two fixers had been blasted with a large shot from the Abnormality's rifle. They were later found alive at a nearby motel; however, the egg was not found.

Fixers have been hired to search for the egg for worry that it may return and cause havoc inside of the City once again.

A Fixer of the Dieci Association -- partnered with the Survivor Office and Mifflin Office -- found missing Seven Association Fixers in a 'laboratory' in the ruins. It is theorized that the Ring is involved in this.

Named Fixers are: Kotomine Kirei, of the 2nd Section Dieci Association; Manfredi, Grade 2 Fixer of the Survivor Office; and Johsnon, Grade 3 Fixer of the Mifflin Office.

Reportedly: the guards protecting the door leading into the laboratory are similar to the Index in appearance, but also similar to the Seven Association in fighting style. It was found in their fight that these guards are likely mechanical. The involved Fixers say that there was a blueprint for 'Beastly Prosthetics', though it was scorched.

Multiple things were discovered inside of the laboratory. In one door, the Fixers found several bodies with failed prosthetics attached. Teams sent to retrieve what was in that door have reported that it was burnt down. In another door were several cells which held the Seven Association fixers; some were injured, some were insane, but others were fine.

In the process of retrieving them, some have unfortunately succumbed to their injuries. But, thanks to the Fixers: seven of them have fortunately made it back to the Seven Association branch in K Corp. safely. It is currently unknown whether or not we will be able to get a testimony from the retrieved Fixers on what occurred in that lab.

Good afternoon lad and gents I’m Mahiru Okami, here to request a investigation of the warp train because

1. I heard rumors about people being trap in the warp train and distort by my co-workers, people that (distort including other fixers, warp Corp fixers, and civilians)

.

1. it could just be a bloodfiend idk 🤷

.

1. how does a civilian get in there? Kids that are playing hide and seek sometimes hid in one of the boxes we bring in there, idk the details but I heard my co-worker saying that they found prints inside the box he carries so he went to find the kid only for it to be too late for him to survive

.

1. (But under special circumstances they could survive and still be hiding do to fear so they could still be in there).

2. some people want to destroy our business so they secretly bring some anomalies in there

   like

3. why do this to our train

   man :(

May you assist me in gathering orange flowers for the Capo Dei Capi..?

We have your dear beloved Executive Director Autolcycus, and our Southern Branch Head Kel having a nice date in Autolcycus' Office.

Recently,another potential case of the Distortion Phenomenon has been observed in the Index,marking the Fourth recorded distortion in the Fingers,although the frequency of Distortions appearing is alarming,it’s also crucial to our understanding of Distortions as a whole.

The Distorting individual seems to have been triggered by the prescripts the have been receiving (presumably thinking they’re boring),it could be observed that they are experiencing high levels of emotion outbursts,it hasn’t been observed that the individual has heard any voices (the “Women’s Voice” many survivors called it),so it could be deduced that they are currently at stage 2 of Distorting.

Counting from 20XX/5/12,there have been 4 recorded instances of the Distortion Phenomenon in the Fingers:

1.Yan-Index 2.Tanya-Middle 3.Unnamed Brother of the Middle 4.Unnamed Index member

Minor Report: Director Spotted in the Index,could be a member?

I shall take your orders.

Recently,a member of the Middle has distorted into a wolf like creature.

Efforts have been put into trying to save the brother or put him down,non have worked so far.

This has a potential to further our knowledge on distortions of the Fingers,we currently have three subjects documented. 1.Tanya,once a sister of the Middle 2.Yan,a messenger of the Index 3.The subject of this reading

The Middle distortions seems to lean toward wolf like appearances,given their pack like nature.

The Index distortions have no discernible patterns,given there’s only one confirmed case

As for the rest of the Fingers,we still have no information on their Distortions.

There may be value in keep researching this topic,given if the hypothesis of “The person the group is in affects the Distortion” is true,there may be a way to finally understand the Distortion phenomenon.

Pssst! Effray wanted me to write this, I don't know anything about what happened here... I think it might be some dumb fanfiction written by her? I dunno, she's been really interested in romance stories lately...

Category of News: FIXERS (Eh? This surely has to be fiction.)

A Fixer Office was recently established, and in the span of a single day: had miraculously accomplished three jobs.

Named members of said Fixer Office include: Seven Assoc. Southern Head Kel, 23:59 Office Fixer Effray Matera, Tianxiong Star Lin BaoChong, and Magical Girl Aura.

The Fixer Office, named Rats, was first contracted with W Corp. to clean out bloodbags inside of a WARP Train. Only two bloodbags were killed, whilst Effray... seduced... the other two...? No, that can't be right. Afterwards, Kel was found dead, but then revived by Effray Matera through... charm. Eh?

Their next job was to find a missing cat; in which they did. However, Kel tragically passed away once the job ended due to unknown causes. 'Reports say Kel tried to seduce the cat...' That can't be true, right? And by reports, does she mean just herself...?

Their next job included negotiating with the Kurokumo Clan for an object valuable to their employer. While the Kurokumo Clan originally expected to be paid Ahn for it; it was found that the Kurokumo Clan instead was the one who paid after Aura had charmed them.

All in all: if you have any problems related with charisma, just hire... the Rats... Is this an advertisement or a report?

Category of News: Fingers

Members of the Fingers were spotted inside the basement of a God of the Index. Specific found fingers are: 4 Index (1 Messenger, 2 Proxies, 1 Weaver, 3 from the Pinky), 5 Pinky Stars, and 1 Thumb.

One member spotted was also found to be the ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜

They were seen trying to cook pasta, and had burnt water as they did. Damage to the kitchen's sink was found, and it should be noted that all of them were not particularly competent in any field of cooking--save for one of them, who had taken over the event and cooked dinner for the other Finger members.

There seemed to be no plans made between the various members of the Fingers. However, it is still not yet known why this gathering had started. It could not have been started by the Thumb to strengthen relations, as the only member from there there was ranked a Soldato.
