[Rumor spreads of a woman having gained admittance into the Gendarmerie, something that is certainly beyond precedent. Many regard the woman in question, Solange de Sauvre (known to many in the gendarme as "Madame Trousers"), as behaving in a highly unladylike fashion and her fellow gendarme, who are for the most part entirely male, seem to not know how to react alongside her. Capitaine Reynard, who is said to have allowed the woman entry in the first place, remains tight-lipped on the subject of the Gendarmerie's newest member, purposefully dodging or evading the questions asked by reporters from L'Observateur.]

As day breaks on the Quartier Publique, the locals are exposed to the body of a foreign woman that some know to be called "Tarja".  She lays on the cobbles naked, covered in blood and quite apparently unconscious.  From what has spread through the grapevine, the woman was seen stripping her clothes and taking off running into the darkness just the evening before.  Screams were heard throughout the poorer end of town, though they promptly ceased at daybreak.  There are rumors of a possible psychotic break.]

Seems a new librarian has moved to the city named Elmer Mennen who is often seen hanging out on the ramps above the library.

[Rumor spreads of something odd having taken place during the award ceremony celebrating the accomplishments of Solange du Sauvre, and the executions following the event. A woman, clad in all black, went around the barricades behind the Council of Brilliance, weapon in tow. Word spreads quickly that the woman was some sort of assassin, and that this assassin was only discovered and arrested because a gendarme with keen eyes named Dimitri Vonquette acted quickly. Some of the gentry muse that there may soon be a need for another awards ceremony before long...]

[Word spreads about how the much-anticipated Monster Bash party was ended prematurely due to the unruly behavior of a number of guests.  Valuable artwork was reported to have been damaged and some speak of a bear being released in the populated museum.  Many guests left in disappointment, noting how the antics of a few ruined the night for the rest of them.]

[Word spreads in and around the Governor's direct vicinity that a young, lovely woman was hired just recently as the hotel's Conciergerie. Although she still has yet to undergo her trial period, she seems eager to work. A nearly impeccable optimism and smile greeting newcomers and regulars alike to the esteemed grounds.]

[Terror and shock spreads about the city when tales that the de Marlons family was tragically killed when their sri rajian tiger somehow was released from its bindings. The Inspecteur Jacques LeRoc has gone on record to say that their findings reveal an equipment failure and has publicly announced that all who have exotic pets ensure that their restraints are properly maintained and replaced. The de Marlons funeral will take place at Ste Mere de Larmes this Monday, with only family and friends invited. Several people throughout the city out of respect have decided to end the 'Cat Craze' fad early.]

A Barovian male in his early twenties, clean shaven, well dressed but not overly fancy has been asking around, attempting to find a Doctor by the name of Wymmer Drukker who is rumored to be a part of the Red Vardo, he is also seen seeking the man in the surrounding Servant and Marchand Quartiers.

[ASSASSIN! Rumor spreads of an explosion and a scream being heard from the penthouse suite, owned by Jayne Var, self-styled as the Commander of the so-called "Lily Knights". Gendarme discovered one of the Hotel's hired help dead, covered from head to toe in severe chemical burns, alongside a badly hurt female elf. The large window was cracked open, and a long rope dropped down to the cobbles below. Jayne Var, the present tenant of the penthouse, remains nowhere to be seen. Also missing are a number of fine paintings and golden goblets..]

[Brigands and cutthroats alike are more frequently seen upon the cobbles of Port-á-Lucine's less savory districts, lifeless, and in scattered clusters. Their brains have been morbidly carved out of their craniums, leaving appalling sights to commoners by the morrow.]

[Many in the Governor's Hotel were institutionalized this evening, orderlies escorting the worst of them into carriages bound for Dr. Vilhelm Mikki's sanitorium in Chateaufaux. While a few can be heard spouting nonsense about a horrifying monster having crawled down the stairs and out the door, Dr. Mikki has called the incident 'a mass hallucination of some kind' spurned on by 'serious cases of schizophrenia gone untreated', and 'certainly able to be explained by rational thinking'.]

[Rumor spreads of Andrei Palascu being acquitted of a laundry list of charges, including being involved in necromancy, smuggling, and conspiracy to commit murder. Some mention a lack of evidence having been presented by the prosecution, while others mention the specious arguments made by the sleazy Borcan solicitor Palascu hired to serve him having swayed Councilor Helene DuSuis, who was serving as the judge. Word spreads of Inspecteur de Sauvre having been overzealous, eager to prove herself within the Gendarmerie - whether true or false, many of the gentry latch upon this, if only because of their own jealousy at the woman's recent successes.]
