Noble Whore Plays The Part
Not a day goes by that I don’t hear the name “Mademoiselle Diane Passeleau,” and it is usually for one terrible reason or another. The recent scandal this hussy caused was strutting about in Publique in an incredibly short skirted maid’s outfit. If that is not enough, she spent her time dressed as such in the company of a disgraceful peasant that later went on to violently strike a maid upon our serene streets! Passeleau then gave a terrible excuse for the outfit, saying she intended to wear it to an audition at the Theatre de la Cathedrale. We shake our heads at that, knowing that they would never put on such a scandalous show. We are left wondering how many other men Passeleau now chases after, if her tastes range to the lowly plebeian.
The woman was also seen assaulting a man in Publique just days prior to this incident. We do hope Passeleau’s father steps in, as it is quite clear that she requires a firm hand to begin acting a proper woman.
Perrine’s Opinion
Surely by now, everyone has heard of the vicious murders ranging from Savant to Ouvrier. The corpses in Ouvrier were found mutilated and posed in a disgusting fashion, while the corpse in Savant was found bloodless and with her throat slashed. We have yet to hear a single word on any investigation being performed by the gendarme. One would think they would care over the death of an upstanding citizen in Savant. It is likely, though, that they are more occupied with their choices of clothing than actually upholding the law these days. A handful of men in the gendarme have been seen without uniform now, opting to wear silk and strut about instead. We overheard one gendarme explaining that he refuses to wear his uniform because Lieutenant Marceaux, the Vicomte de Roissy, does not wear his. I raise a brow at this, and wonder why the gendarme allows such insolence. Hopefully they’ll cease their squabbling over fashion and actually begin protecting the citizens of our most serene republic.
The Fox’s Folly
It seems the controversy surrounding the Company of the Fox is neverending. Earlier this week, a gang of brutish caliban forced their way into Publique, becoming rowdy and nearing violence. When an individual inquired why they were there, they stated they wished to join the Fox, due to the Fox’s sargeant, a caliban named Sieglinde, being an inspiration to them. We shudder to think of such wicked creatures being the ones to defend our country. We recommend that the Vicomte de Roissy rethink his recruiting policy.
