SCPD & CITY HALL OPEN



    The Gazette would like to post a retraction for last week's article about the PD opening.  What was believed to be the opening was merely the announcement of a new PD on the rise.  Tuesday, the new PD building was officially opened to both the PD and the public when they had the Grand Opening where the Mayor and Deputy Mayor made the announcement.  It was believed that it had been opened last Sunday when the Mayor and Deputy Mayor announced the new building but apparently, it wasn't opened until this week.



    In other big news,  Destiny Tower I, the new City Hall is now open as well with the Grand Opening to take place in the near future though the date of the event hasn't been decided as of yet.  The building will be the City Hall, Courtroom, and be the home of other businesses and offices as well.  There will be offices available to rent as well as a conference room/banquet hall.  If you'd like more information about either, contact the Mayor's office or the city manager, Lynsey Werefox.






 SINNER'S HQ COMMANDEERED


Sinners Hq has been commandeered by the Mayor of Syn City to be demolished and Destiny Tower Two put in it's place.  The Mayor was kind enough to offer them the use of the Fire Department as a temporary location although some wonder why they don't just move in with Oso.  The painting on the signs posted by the Mayor's office shows that Sinners are clearly not happy with the Mayor's decision.  Despite all the Mayor's hard work,
his approval rating is dropping at a steady rapid pace.  His slogan "At any cost" becoming quite the annoyance to many.  The plan however, is to have Sinners take over the Fire Department which will provide them with a headquarters while at the same time giving Syn City an active fire department and someone to call when the fires erupt.



COUNCIL MEETING



    The council had their first official meeting at the new City Hall this past Thursday night. First on the agenda was a vote on the final version of Deputy Mayor Dolly's Economic plan. The beta program passed 4-0 by the council and will go into effect February.  Actual specifics about the program that will assist businesses will be revealed by the Deputy Mayor this coming week.  Mayor Whacked Destiny then brought the council up-to-date regarding statuses on the brand new City Hall which will contain office rentals for those who seek a safe, quiet professional environment to get some work done.  Councilor Dina expressed her concerns over the costs of these projects as the Mayor reassured her how necessary it was.  The Mayor also boasted about the newer, greener PD and recommended the handyman Mr Su for future city projects.  Former Mayor Kali joined the council meeting to discuss the new land, inconsistencies and criticisms of Safe Zones.  The discussion over Safe Zones and the new land the city has acquired will be resuming in the council meetings ahead.

Page 3: Who's Who
***********************************************************************************




    Some of you love her...many of you hate her but at the end of the day, even the cops are a part of Syn City and the same is true when it comes to Deputy Police Chief Distansa who is also currently filling the role of Police Chief due to Chief Fyng's unexplained absence.  She wasn't always the one to be hated or even feared but started her young life out as many of us girls do....with hopes and dreams that one day she'd meet the Prince Charming that was meant for her and find love.  When she was 10, she had loving parents, a sister she hated but yet loved and would do anything for at the same time, lots of friends and a dog named Frodo.  She was popular in school always doing well on her school work, active on sports teams, the overall perfect student.  Everyone loved her, even the teachers.  On a night like any other though...that all changed when her family were taken hostage at a bank robbery.  All was going well and though they were stuffed in a white get-a-way van, weren't injured and it seemed they'd soon be released when there was an accident and the van crashed.  She woke to find herself covered in blood and what remained of her family...all killed except for her who in a last chance effort to save his daughter, her father had sheltered her body with his own.
    A nearby hobo pulled her from the wreckage saving her life, the memory of the look of anguish on her sister's face as she got dragged away moments before the van exploded seem to haunt her to this day.  Thankfully for her, the hobo that had pulled her from the carnage had been a doctor before losing everything to his ex wife and he tended to her wounds nursing her back to heath.  Physically, she was fine though mentally...was another story.  She became silent...not uttering a single word for 5 years.  She had no one and no one knew she existed...for all they knew she had been destroyed in the fire.  The hobo taught her the ways of the streets, valuable lessons in life that she'd never have had the opportunity to learn in her perfect life such as "when a gang comes around not to piss them off or when a bigger stronger person than yourself wants something, they will get it."  It was a hard life, nothing came easy and everyone hated you but in time, she adjusted and was doing well...for a hobo until a Mayor came to town pinning crimes on them they didn't commit forcing them into hiding moving from one condemned building to another.  At times, she questioned living or dying...giving up and giving in.  When she wasn't being beaten by the police, she was being beaten by the gangs to keep her mouth shut literally fighting other kids for a piece of bread found in the trash.  The relationship between her hobo savior grew to that of a father figure.  He loved her as his own daughter and her new way of life became "normal" until the Chinese Mafia came into town torturing and killing seemingly for the fun of it forcing her to watch her "father" tortured and killed before pulling her into their ranks.
    Over time, she worked her way up through the ranks going from doing the dirty jobs no one else wanted to do to becoming a feared torturer naming her Distansa, an old Chinese name for a creature from hell because of what she was able to conjure up to do to her victims.  Her name was known and feared even by those in the Mafia in which she ran.  The leader's son started t become jealous of her and tried to get her into trouble forcing her to dispose of him the best way she could.  For fear of a war...her against the mighty Chinese Mafia...she fled and found her way to Syn City where she first joined Oso stating "my rebellious side took over and I did not agree with things within them. They were more of being under the radar when I just wanted to make people fear us. I left them and joined the Sinners." becoming one of the things she assumes most everyone in Syn City is...a criminal.  She did manage to find friends though and it was with a friend named Amelia that she left Sinners and started their own gang...the Death Dolls who at one point was even allied with the Vipers.  After the alliance ended, there was constant fighting and anarchy rose up within the Death Dolls and the gang was soon dissolved while Distansa kept the money while others fled town.  She left for about 6 months but when she returned, she was a new person and had a rep in the City even without being in a gang.  She wasn't bothered though she was offered a place within several gangs turning them all down instead joining the police force as Lieutenant.
    She is now the Distansa, we all know having worked her way up from Lieutenant to Deputy Chief and acting Chief doing what she can to make Syn City a better place where one can enjoy and ice cream cone in peace at the park.  She denies all allegations of corruption within the SCPD and looks at all cases the same unless one involves an officer being shot down.  When that happens...."I will do every thing I can to make the offender's life hell.  We will not stand for cruelty against the officers of this city!"  She hopes that while Chief, the crime numbers drop and conditions within the city improve.  She has no intentions to ever marry or have kids.  She did however, have a message for Synizens "you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not run I am telling you why, SCPD is come for you SCPD is comming for you so dont go doing annnnnnyyyyyy crimmmmmeeeeee."  You heard it all right here folks...from abandoned child to criminal to Deputy Police Chief....Distansa doesn't give up and doesn't give in.

❖ Rumor Has It
**Have you heard a rumour you want to share?  Send it to us.**

1.  The Mayor has been heard saying Sinners HQ is an eye sore and wants to tear it down to make room for his new Destiny tower II (but also a bigger walk in closet for his wife) - If rumours are true, the always snoozing sinners will have a new HQ at the old Fire station, it be a good way to fill up the FD with some people that could actually run that place too.  Considering the fact that all the red flags have been removed except the ones at Sinners...it is a HUGE possibility the rumours are true.

2.  The City doesn't have the funds to defend themselves in a court room.  There is a judge or two but very few lawyers.  In Syn City at the moment...the cops are the law.


3.  Injuries no matter how big or small will never keep someone in Syn from drawing their weapons...even if in a wheelchair as proven by two Synizens in this photo.

4.  Dia has left Tann due to having a HUGE crush on one of Syn City's officers of the law, Mofo who can't wait to put his penis in her vajajay.

5.  Crissy from the Vipers is pregnant with triplets...quite obvious considering how fat and round she's gotten as of late.

6.  Dia lasso'd herself a naked Alister and after getting her rope around him wasn't finished, taking him for a ride.  Bet he enjoyed that!  Was it cowgirl or reversed cowgirl...that's my question.  When asked, she stated "i dont cap and tell haha"....I take that to mean things got kinkier then a quick ride.

7.  Wanted has called out Death multiple times for a 1v1 but each time something happens to keep it from happening.  Will Death give Wanted the 1v1 he wants or will he continue to deny him?  Is Death afraid or does he just want to have the right situation for it so bets can be placed?  The battle finally took place...one preferring to shoot, the other preferring to melee....after several hours...might have been a half hour but seemed like several hours...Death defeated Wanted in their fight.

8.  Hyst wants to be raped and doesn't care if it's by a male or female, she was heard saying ""Rape meee".  In considering the articles she writes for the paper, are you surprised she wants to be "taken"?

9.  Dia, Tann, Kombo, and Pettori had a foursome but Tann got jealous and broke up with Dia so now Dia, Kombo, and Pettori have threesomes instead.  We're unsure at this time who Tann is fucking now but we have been told he is out of town fucking someone.

10.  Fredo had Wolf dance on the pole for him and Wanted, to watch him do some spanking while Sinnoso were inside Viper's HQ apparently he has a thing for wolf.  According to our source...someone is bi curious.  Is someone also anti-bi?  Is it really so wrong for a man to enjoy watching another man dance?  We say NO...be yourself...accept who you are and if you want to smack a man's ass with your dick...go for it!

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps
Written by: Hyst

Perhaps my curious reactions are not born of fear but of a meticulous caution?
Perhaps my deliberations are cut precisely from a cloth woven with extreme care?

When i tremble before You, my Prince, it could be the strain of my uncertainty that is
caught up in the study of Your stance.

In my constant judiciousness, i may seem hopelessly craven. The truth, my Love,
is without doubt, the effectiveness of Your wise guidance.

For as my day begins so does my zealous search for ways in which to please You
and as my day ends, i spend time in conscientious contemplation, reviewing my actions
in search of ways in which to improve my success rate.

my Dearest One, my fears take many forms and wear prodigious disguises that
may confuse and conflict.

Perhaps those curious fears You see in me are not so delicate of flaws
but, in truth, a clever concealment of my deep reverence and awe.

Dear Editor,

I am writing you for a couple of reasons that I feel you, as an unbiased newspaper, should be aware of. First, the PD was not re-opened the day of the press conference announcing the 'new' PD building due to the fact that the building had much work still left to be done on it. If you had stayed long enough you would have known this, or at the very least did some follow up to ensure your facts were correct before print. Which brings me to the second reason I am writing you. The article in regards to the H4L building being shut down was extremely one sided and filled with misinformation. As a news agency I am shocked and disappointed at the Gazette's failure to bring an unbiased and informed article to print. An SCPD officer was not the only one compelled to close the building and the counselor mentioned in the deputy mayor's statement was never approached for her side or to even ensure she had anything to do with the building's closing.

I hope that in the future your newspaper will be more interested in getting the whole story rather than coming across, as you did in Issue 19, as a glorified tabloid. I hope to see follow up articles on these issues in your next edition as I do usually enjoy reading your newspaper. Or, at the very least, a disclaimer on the paper that the Syn City Gazette promotes only one sided news reporting.

Sincerely,
dina Ormidale
Syn City Counselor and SCB CEO

THE 3 HOUR WAR



    Friday night a fight between Sinnoso and the Vipers broke out.  It is unknown what started the fight though it is known that it was quite the long one, lasting just at three hours from start to finish.  Vipers made their way to HQ using it's defenses to the point where Sinnoso backed off unwilling to fight against the building's strong defenses but the fight wasn't over, there wasn't to be another stalemate.  While Sinnoso stood near the Sinner Motel, Vipers came back out slowly pushing Sinnoso to the other side of the City from the water tower area, to the bridge, to the park and right into Oso's HQ.  The fight was long and strenuous but in the end Vipers pulled it off and won the battle.  This fight isn't the beginning nor the end of the Sinnoso war against the Vipers.



 SCPD & H4L TEMPORARILY CLOSED



    On Wednesday, two buildings in Syn City were shut down when Craig from the SCPD made accusations that H4L was spreading diseases and needed to be shut down.  Seeing as Distansia and Dina had both been in H4L, the PD was shut down as well until both could be proven to be clear of any health hazards.  H4L has been in contact with the Mayor's office in an attempt to reopen since they have files on the girls saying they are clean from the Hospital Administrator himself.  Deputy Mayor Dolly gave a speech Saturday morning despite the fact it was the weekend stating her displeasure with the situation.  By Saturday afternoon, the yellow tape and signs had been removed from H4L.  Hoes 4 Less has been reopened and was and is...disease free.  PD however, has been demolished and a new one is already in the development stages.

"As Deputy Mayor of this fine city mah main course of action is to improve this city's economy and get the various businesses of Syn going. We can't accomplish this by shutting down fine establishments that be creating employment opportunities. The building behind me is a modeling agency that helped women who were down on their luck, who didn't think they were beautiful. The truth is everyone is beautiful in their own way, Hoes 4 Less shows them how to reveal the beauty that lies underneath and how
they put it to good use while not only pleasing themselves, but others as well. Now
what is wrong with that? huh?"



   "Ya got them critics say diseases are being spread, what proof do they have? Hoes 4
    Less is a good honest established business and the doctors can confirm that they are
    not the diseased STD everyone fears of catching, but the good type, the Sexually
    Talented Diva type. Now these STDs spread themselves all across infecting all they run
    into with something they won't forget. They do not cause violence or mean any harm, but
    unfortunately they get harm their way. Not only from ganger bangers but now from the
    city itself. As Deputy Mayor ah am ashamed this has happened, the former prostitute in
    me will continue to fight, being the voice of all sluts through out Syn. Together we shall
    get through these dark times and ah guarantee y'all Hoes 4 Less is gonna reopen one
    way another soon enough as this wasn't the doing of the Mayor's office, but the doing of
    one council member with SCPD connections who abused her authority to tyrannical
    levels."

   "This councilor's daughter is now a big girl meaning two things, she don't cry and that she can make her own decisions. Mah sister Molly told me many stories about what be happening at Hoes 4 Less after ah became Deputy Mayor, she can describe things in such detail that it be like ah was really there... which ah wasn't of course like the day this councillor came to Hoes 4 Less spraying her mouth about shutting it down in 24 hours if we don't.. ah means they won't fire her daughter. The daughter never felt more humiliated in her life as she was an adult who didn't need her mommy telling her bosses what to do. The mother couldn't be talked any sense into. She didn't stop there as days later what'cha know, Hoes 4 Less got shut down without any proof of wrong doing. People of Syn, let Mayor Whacked and ah ensure y'all that we take corruption very very seriously and we will discipline this councilor."

    "Oh ah would like to tell everyone that the new City Hall project although had some
    delays is going to be completed going over budget. Its no biggie really, we will increase
    SCPD monthly budget targets to cover. The City Hall is the first of many new things to be
    coming from the council this year. This past week the economic committee has finished
    their plan on getting businesses rolling. For the first time every, both gang and
    independently owned businesses will have support from the city. If approved by the
    council at the upcoming meeting, this plan will go into beta come February. This wraps up
    mah important press conference, thank y'all for ya time."

    It seems the Mayor is doing what he believed was best for the citizens of Syn City but could the accusations made by the Deputy Mayor about one of the councilors be true?  Did they use their position with the council to cause such dramatics because of a rebellious daughter?  There is no way to know just yet but from the looks of things, it seems some council members may be under close watch in the future.



SCPD REBUILT



    Sunday the Mayor and Deputy Mayor called a press conference to announce the opening of the new SCPD building.  The new SCPD building is anything but a work of art due to the new city hall going over budget but looks as if it's more of a dilapidated old building.  The building was constructed by one of Syn's newest citizens who is known for his wonderful use of recycled material, Su.  It's made from the old courthouse's rubble and boards were used for the windows instead of glass to keep the PD warmer in the winter and to block the sunlight in the summer.  The building is not only ecological but it also saved the tax payers a lot of money which the Mayor and Deputy Mayor are hoping will be kept in mind when it comes time for re-elections.
    Needless to say not all citizens were as thrilled as the Vipers were about the looking as if it needs to be condemned building, one of which was Chief Distansia who was quite vocal with her displeasure stating "why not just put us in card board boxes!! we will be safer in there! or even better yet build us a NEW building like city hall you stingy fat asses!" among other things.  Seeing as the old PD had been demolished due to it being infested with "crotch crickets and mofo juice" according to the Mayor, the rebuilding of the PD was critical.  It wasn't in the City's budget and they did what they could with what budget they had.
    Things took a different route when the police were accused of not doing their jobs and decided they'd do a bit of crowd control threatening the crowd with gas and weapons despite the fact there were two pregnant citizens in the crowd.  The crowd was told to disperse and the press release was called to and end as PD put on their masks and talked of drawing weapons and arresting some of the citizens.  Thankfully, the crowd dispersed and to our knowledge, no arrests were made.  Needless to say...apparently PD isn't too happy with the Mayor's office at the moment.  We transcribed as much as we were able to get for our wonderful readers....((Please see the comments to this post for the transcription.))

SYNFUL PLEASURES


    Synful Pleasures hosts events every Saturday from 7 - 9 pm SLT and Sundays from 12 - 2 pm SLT.  Saturday was Goofy Greats with silly music and outfits alike.  It's unfortunate more didn't dress then did as it could have been even more fun then it was but even still all had a good time and was blowing up the trivia while DJ Amber played the tunes.  The winners of the contest were Amber, Fi, and Wolf.


    Sunday, we were taken back in time once more to the 80's.  Everyone was still tired from staying up so late the previous night that they were too lazy to dress but still, everyone enjoyed the tunes as DJ Amber brought us back once more.  The winners of the contest were Dina, Craig, and Amber.



***********************************************************************************
Page 3: Who's Who
***********************************************************************************



    Many remember her from her owning the a VERY successful local coffee shop known as Lenabelles...this week's Who's Who...Annabelle from DA.  She came to Syn City about a year ago with one of her brothers, Chief who was known for getting in trouble while she worked hard to make them a living and a home at the early age of 20.  When she first came to Syn, she took on a job working at Viper's garage though it was short lived seeing as she couldn't accept getting oil on her nails and such.  While her brother was out making enemies with Sinners and learning to use guns to defend himself, she was making friends.  One of which was her best friend, Selena who to this day is still her best friend here.  Not liking the jobs the City had to offer, they started their own business.  One which used Selena's cooking skills and her creativity known as Lenabelle's.  People still remember it and talk about it to this day, it was located next to Hoes 4 Less.
    If there's anything Annabelle values, it's friendship and she has been known to give friends a place to stay, provide jobs, plan weddings, help with council campaigns, and even assist in others' business endeavors without expecting anything in return.  When asked what drives her to help others so much, she stated "Umm.. I guess I have always been a caring person. I have the values that you treat others as you wish to be treated. Its a bit difficult to be like that in this sort of city but I don't know. Its something my parents brought me up to be like and Its stayed with me. "  Syn City could definitely use more people with this type of thinking.
    Lennabelle's was a place where memories were made, a gathering place for many in the city with fond memories for not only just the owners but Synizens as well.  Annabelle and Selena's goal when creating the business was to have a place to hang out and enjoy coffee with some delicious cake but they offered more then just great coffee and food, they also offered a job and a fun place for the citizens to gather.  It was a special gathering place for many, most of them are still with us today from Alister, Selena, DD, Samantha and Serena.  They had great employee's who put hours upon hours making the shop so successful but unfortunately, the profits were little and they became the target for fires and were constantly havign to repair windows.  When asked if she'd do anything differently... "probably better security and more help with loans to keep it open longer hours."  Lennabelle's became an example of how to run a successful independantly owned business in Syn City.  Annabelle is currently contemplating future business ventures and researching the current businesses in Syn and looking into ways to make it work with limited time and funding.  She did have some advice for Synizens though, and good advice it was "just remember that spark you had when you first thought up the idea. The excitement you had when you bought the place and put up the sign. Selena and I had so much fun.. but if you lose that spark and excitement the business will suffer to because your motivation to run it will disappear. My advice would be to accept help when its offered and try to not take on too much yourself."  If your heart isn't in what you do, how can you do it well?
    Now she's a member of DA and enjoying the differences in being in a gang offers having never joined one before.  She doesn't regret her decision at all stating "they really are a family and I love them. They bring out my .... fiesty side! Its nice to get protection too and have others to fight for."  From being a leader in successful businesses to a loyal gang member, one thing has always remained a constant...what matters most is those you surround yourself with, friends and family and despite the harshness of Syn City, Annabelle continues to do just that.

❖ Rumor Has It
**Have you heard a rumour you want to share?  Send it to us.**

1. Amy of the Sinners submitted to Death from the Vipers Friday night after Death showed how great his fighting skills were in the 3-hour war.  Apparently whatever happened after brought out the submissive side in Amy.  Ask her, she will tell you that her new name is Death's Toy.

2.  Amber is pregnant with twins and Damen of the Sinners says they're his!  Perhaps this is why Edward and Amber were so quick to wed without the Vipers having knowledge of it!  She was trying to hide what she'd done!  Seems innocent Amber isn't so innocent at all hooking up with Damen, getting pregnant, sneaking off marrying another....tisk tisk.



3.  It seems Zeke from the Sinners is so afraid of Nick's hammer, that he refused a 1v1 that lead to a full out gang war.  Nick lost a lot of blood and is currently recooperating under the care of Blondie who has left DA to be at his side in Vipers.

4.  According to some, Petal Pettori, deserves to be shot because she stands alone in this city rather then join one of the local groups stating "if you do not know your place in a gang, your place should be on the ground".  Agree or disagree?  THAT is the question...*snickers*

5.  Bruce, in a moment of male stupidity broke up with Care and is hoping to win her back by baking a cake but when he attempted to acquire sugar from Oso, it lead to a fight and at the end of it, forgot the damn sugar!

6.  We've all heard of keeping it in the family, that's no different where Vipers Cosmo and Mike are concerned.  Cosmo recently moved in with Mike and are now sharing a space and he's adopted Gussy.  Apparently, Mo's not getting out of prison anytime soon, he was sentenced to 25 to life with no chances of parole and has approved the relationship due to the circumstances stating "I'd rather it be him...then an non-Viper."

7.  Dina Ormidale, CEO of Syn City Bank intends to hire an investigating team to conduct a full investigation into the new City Hall.  What is she investigating?  Considering she's the CEO of the bank, she already knows the budget of the city and how much was spent.  Is she the corrupt Council member that the Deputy Mayor was referring to?  Is this part of her plan of corruption or is there more to it that no one's heard about yet?

❖ Dating Scene Forecast


Lovers welcome to 2014. A new year brings 365 new days to love, fuck and sleep in the arms of our lovers. For thy past few months, I, LOVENOMINOUS, the GUARDIAN OF LOVE have guided the hearts of Syn through the sea of love. What shall thy lovely waters bring us in 2014? I, LOVENOMINOUS, the GUARDIAN OF LOVE never assumes for without a doubt you are wondering how the waves forming in the sea of love will affect your relationship for the month of January. This forecast is difficult for me share as I, LOVENOMINOUS, the GUARDIAN OF LOVE absolutely hate being 100% accurate and right all the fucken time when the stars are clearly telling me there are some very turbulent waters ahead.

The question is what course your boat is set on? Is your course set to become popular among others by showboating close to the shore? If so then your relationship is as shallow as the water near the shore and shall capsize in epic failure. Is someone GUIDING the ship or is the captain too busy fucking in the bedroom? If lust TAKES OVER love, imbalance of sex GREATER then social couple activities, then don't be surprised when it SUDDENLY fails in TITANIC proportions. Is your love lost at sea? If so do not seek help from professional counselors. These pirates exist to steal from mateys whose hearts are lost.  Instead seek help from a shared friend who cares about all parties, let them be the tug boat that guides your boat of love through any troubles. Only TRUE LOVE WILL STAY ON COURSE to be tested across the DEEPEST, bluest and most treacherous waters found over sea of love. When rocky waters leave a lover HOLDING ON for dear life, are you BRAVE enough to RISK your own life to SAVE YOUR LOVE life? What about unexpected problems? Ignoring a leak shall become a BIGGER problem that is HARDER to solve when it drowns your love 1000 fathoms DEEPER into Davey Jones Locker within the whirlpool of depression.

Some say communication is key but I, LOVENOMINOUS THE GUARDIAN OF LOVE say communication is FUCKEN MAGIC. It turns problems into SOLUTIONS, assumptions into JOKES, insecurities into INVULNERABILITIES and has the side effect of REASSURING the love towards your partner is present. Why do we CHOOSE to play games creating tsunami waves that drift us FARTHER APART in a sea of love? Why we RISK LETTING GO ignoring someone loyal whose sole purpose is to make you FEEL like the King or Queen of the world? When we can instead, use this MAGIC OF COMMUNICATION to create beautiful calm waves of equality for our hearts shall go on.

Stranded guys lets LEAD these hotties into GANG BANGS until they tire our cocks out. Then we drink some ICE COLD Coronas and WATCH THEM ENJOY each others SWEET CREAM PIES. IT IS FACT cum TASTES SWEETER from a man after having coconuts HI-YO!!! Go fuck Mary Ann cause Ginger is MY COLLARED BITCH HI-YOOO!!!

Play Me
Written by: Hyst


Take me out of the case and tune me gently. As You work each of my strings, stop from time to time and run a loving hand over my finely crafted body.

With each tiny adjustment, close Your eyes and listen closely to my off key sound, then ever so gently tune me toward Your satisfaction.

I beg of You to use only the softest of cloth as You polish me to mirror Your reflection. Set me carefully aside on a velvet cushion as You compose a passionate melody just for me.

Play me, my dearest One, like a lover touching His most cherished prize for the first time. Run Your strong hands over the curves of my body and watch as it warms to Your song.

I am a most giving and loyal instrument who sings for only You. If You hear a discordant note once in awhile, tune me gently to the place where i was pretty for You. When my body is smeared with imperfection, polish me again to shine for You.

I long to play the symphonies You compose for i am Your instrument of submission. i was crafted to serve You never to be put back in my case.

STRING OF FIRES


    This past weekend fires were popping up left and right across the city including the Gazette, Sinner's Headquarters, and DA Headquarters.  A Sinner was displeased with a letter written to the Gazette for Dear Cosmo to answer and threw a molotov through the Gazette's large store front window rather then seeking the one who wrote the letter.  Thankfully due to the fire suppression system installed, there was very little damage.  Early the next morning before the repairs to the Gazette could be made, it was set ablaze once again.  The contractor hurried to finish the repairs and thankfully the Gazette is good as new once again but with two fires and repairs to be made, the distribution of the paper was delayed one day.  Improvements were made to the Gazette to keep the same thing from happening in the future.

    The same can't be said for Sinners HQ where the flames grew quickly engulfing all from the look of it.  The heat from the flames could be felt buildings away but the extent of the damage is unknown.  Apparently the Vipers REALLY enjoy reading the Gazette and was pissed about the attack of the molotov or they just wanted to flex their muscles against the Sinnoso alliance but in any case, the fire won't quickly be forgotten.
    Late the same night the DA Headquarters was set on fire as well though the flames were extinguished before the Gazette could obtain a picture.  Then again this weekend, yet another fire took place when a car parked beside Wise Guys exploded seemingly out of nowhere!  The fire department was called but never responded as the flames continued to engulf the car.  Let this be a reminder...check your batteries in your smoke detectors to ensure they're working properly and don't leave your cars parked in the open unattended apparently.



NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS


    Several Synizens have decided to start the new year off with big changes.  They're changing jobs and gangs and many in just this past week.  Sariel, Sav, and Absinthee have left DA due to a difference of opinion and joined Oso swapping places with Shawn and his wife, Serena who left Oso and joined DA.  Shawn left Oso because "I didn't like the direction Oso was going in so I decided to take a position with DA because I saw I could help them.  Also, they have a better health plan."  One of possibly the biggest upsets for Oso this week though was losing Serena to the Vipers who some believe may be a long lost Venom.  Though when asked why she left, she stated "hmm tuff question, I just may say that my root was not there I find myself following another path, I may just say that I do not share their same objective anymore, so with Sgt Maya I want to find my real self, as we are working on something".  She didn't want to reveal too much information but did go on to say that she doesn't believe she is a sister in blood but she does plan to work alongside Maya to see if the Viper tablets are true and will reveal a way to reach peace in Syn City.
    Also this week in gang related news...Snarkie was promoted to Captain while some Viper members were bumped up the rank ladder as well.  Will there be more big life changes coming soon for some Synizens?  Is this just the beginning?  Only time will tell.



BANK ROBBED



    Late in the night Saturday night, Syn City banked was robbed by masked figures, many of which were blondes.  A police bike was used in the robbery as well as one of Syn City's own officers.  In looking at the photos, it seems Officer Distansia was indeed part of the robbery but it's unknown why she was the only one unmasked.  Perhaps she pissed off the others and they stripped her down to nothing but her panties?  Something did go wrong though when she appeared to fall to the floor moments before two masked figures fought outside the bank.  Needless to say, it didn't seem the most organized crime and that there was turmoil within the group.  Whoever did the robbery, wasn't a close knit group to be sure.  One of the masked figures, what appears to be a male with a skull mask, is someone that's held Synizens at gunpoint and robbed them before.  He was in one of our previous issues after shooting two people and robbing them.  The amount stolen is unknown at this time.

SYNFUL PLEASURES


     Synful Pleasures hosts events every Saturday from 7 - 9 pm SLT and Sundays from 12 - 2 pm SLT.  This past week however, they also held their New Year's Eve Bash Tuesday night.  DJ Red played the tunes while Hoes 4 Less girls danced and Crissy auctioned off volunteers for a date night.  The highest paid auction was our own Deputy Mayor, Dolly Swizzle who went for a whole 2,000 L's.  Synizens enjoyed ringing in the new year together with those they care about and have come to see as family.  There is nothing like watching the ball drop, counting down the seconds to the new year with those you love.


   Saturday was great fun when Synful Pleasures hosted their Cartoons from the 70's, 80's, and 90's event with awesome costumes from the cartoons of our childhoods.  DJ Amber spun great hits while forcing us all to use our brains and remember the cartoons we grew up loving with her Cartoon Trivia while Jess danced for Synizens entertainment.  If you missed it...you totally missed out!  Winners of the contest were Steff, Death, and Wolf!


    Sunday, everyone was gettin' their grove on as they took a ride on the train to funky town at Synful Pleasure's 70's Disco event!  DJ Jess took us back several decades while Amber kept it groovy hosting.  From Gogo dancer outfits to afro's and bell bottoms, all had fun boogin' to the beat.  Winners of the contest were Crissy, Fi, and Amber!


***********************************************************************************
Page 3: Who's Who
***********************************************************************************


    Coming to us from a small town in the middle of nowhere just north of Syn City, this week's Who's Who is Amber Venom.  Amber wasn't always of the venom family though she did grow up in a biker household.  Her father was abusive and far too over protective where boys were concerned.  To make life easier for her and  her family, she wore unflattering clothing and tried her best to do everything she could to keep from having her father's anger focused on her.  On a day just like any other, a male friend of hers was walking her home from school and kissed her on the cheek before leaving.  Amber's father seen it through the window and changed Amber's life forever that day when he shot her mother and little sister and came back for Amber.  When all looked lost, the cops arrived in time to save Amber and though she was placed in foster care, atleast she was away from her father.
    She spent some time working at a tattoo shop learning the ways of the craft while her father supposedly served time in jail for life.  In memory of her mother and sister, she got the angel wings tattooed on her back but Amber's life was far from over, after some time, she felt it was time to move on and took what little money she had from working at the tattoo shop and hopped on a bus unsure where she'd get off.  When it stopped in Syn, she stared at the help wanted sign at the Viper garage contemplating her next step when Dolly started pushing her inside.  She met several people there and obtained a job but having nowhere to stay spent the night at the church.  The next day, her life once more took a sad turn when she was raped by a masked assailant who took her virginity leaving her something more precious in return, her son Ashton though she thought it was Alister's having met him the day after.  She went most of the pregnancy believing her wonderful son to be Alister's while she continued to work her way up through the Vipers to supporter and finding Ricky who took a mother like role in her life.  After things went sour with Alister, she ended up living with Three as protection but it developed into something more.  The first time they made love was when little mannerisms, the way he did things, said things reminded her of the night she'd been raped and she soon realized that Three...the man she was living with and cared about...the one who was protecting her from her ex was the same man who'd raped and impregnated her.  At a loss as what to do, she stayed with the man she'd grown to love and care for until things went south and Three went back to using crack and things worsened.  Eventually Amber had to choose between Three and the Vipers choosing her family and quickly sending her son off for his own protection.
    Life wasn't done throwing curve balls at Amber, as soon as things started to improve, she was ran over by a man named Marty giving her a broken pelvis, bruised lived and doing major damage to the skin on her belly.  The accident lead to Ricky and Lamonte adopting Amber so she'd have a next of kin in the city.  When Ricky and Lamonte separated, Amber and Ricky's mother daughter relationship grew.  Life wasn't happy for long, shortly after the accident, Alister resurfaced and came after Amber shooting her, it was when she was filing a restraining order against him that she met Edward, her current love, husband and future father of her child.
    Here she is two years after the birth of her first son, Aston...6 weeks pregnant and married to Edward planning a Viper-style wedding.  Amber and Edward married in secrecy at a small church out of town as a means of protection and recently broke the news to her family.  Plans for the wedding and the birth of their child are already under way.  The date for the wedding hasn't been decided yet but will hopefully be in the next couple of weeks with the theme being Leather & Lace and the event taking place at Synful Pleasures.  Be sure to give the happy couple your blessings...Amber's come a long way and gone through a lot before finally having a big day all her own.  When asked what she had to say to Syn City..."I just want to say...I have been told many times, I am not like the other Vipers...that I shouldn't be a Viper...that I don't fit in with them.  One of those is now a Viper supporter. I have been around long enough to know that people in this city need to stop living in the past. Yes, there were Vipers that gave the Club a bad name...in the past. Everyone calls us the bullies, they have their alliance..blah blah blah. I think people need to look in the mirror, and see that what they claim us, the Vipers, to be..is just what they themselves have become in an effort to..." quote "Bring us down." unquote.  "I have grown up a lot in the last 2 years, all because of what I have seen...and done in this city, but..I could never see myself in another club, gang, whatever you want to call it. I have yet to see any of the others show this kind of a family support and attitude that the Vipers have."
    "Beyond everything I am, City Councelor, Synful Manager, Mother, Wife...I am Viper to the core and that won't change till they put me in the ground."

❖ Rumor Has It
**Have you heard a rumour you want to share?  Send it to us.**


1.  There's apparently a man walkin' round town wanting to be a man whore but no one will hire him.  Hmm...wonder why...have a look at the pic and you may just understand.


2.  Mike's brother's, wife's, daughter's uncle is related to a Viper and he is Sere's brother who is Carlos' sister.  Carlos' wife is sleeping with Carlos' brother known as Jack.  Sooooo Mike is related to Vipers, Sere is related to Vipers and Jack is fucking his brother, Carlos' wife.  So are Jack and Carlos related to Vipers as well?  Vipers hope not.  Oh and to top it all off...Layla is Mike's twin so Sere has a sister as well!



3.  Sere has left Oso and is contemplating working for City Hall.

4.  Moretti's is no longer owned by DA but is now owned by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Turlte Power!!!

5.  Mike and Snarkie are married according to some.  It's been stated that the hate they seem to have for each other is passionate lust. She's asked all to "please leave us alone so we can be happy damn it!"  Is this true?  Could this be why Mike is unavailable?  Well apparently it's no longer just behind closed doors...this week, they came out in the open and the baby making plans are already underway.  It's their hope to have a dozen kids in under 9 years.  Be sure to send all wedding gifts to the penthouse by the Casino and the Gazette will inform you when the first baby shower is planned.

6.    Roaches aren't the only living things gathering in Sinners HQ other then Sinners, so are termites as rotting pieces of wood were replaced with discarded boards.

7.  Oso's finances have taken a hard hit due to the lack of traffic at the casino and wise guys forcing them into an alliance in an attempt to increase their profit through the gathering of ransoms.  Perhaps this has to do with the reason they have lost three members this past week?

The Seventh Collar
Written by: Hyst


He works at the feet of his Mistress, his hands a blur and back hunched over. The metal pieces scattered around his folded legs are misshapen from his struggle with the inferior tools She has purposefully provided. Nonetheless, perfection is expected.

His hands move back and forth, hovering over each tool in silent indecision although he knows these implements of his task by heart.

This is his seventh attempt.

Settling on one, he holds a metal piece tightly and begins to shape it with the most minuscule of cuts. A drop of sweat from his brow splashes on the metal and he is keenly aware of his Mistresses observation.

She misses nothing and he avoids Her gaze to keep his hands from shaking. The shaking has been the source of his failure six times before.

Cutting and polishing, each piece as precious as the last, he only slows his pace to carefully inspect his progress before continuing. His eyes focused sharply on his creation there is no longer anything else in his awareness but the metal…and the soft sound of Her breath above him crashing like the ocean’s surf against his brow.

Hours pass and Her attendants come and go offering Her refreshment and entertainment never once acknowledging him. He is unaware of their presence as the window of his wanting triumph starts to close.

Sweat burns his eyes and his hands start their traitorous shaking but he does not pause. The pieces glimmer in the light of Her candles and are only in need of the fitting together into the final shape. Despite the lateness of the hour, he carefully connects one piece to the last until all but two are in sinuous line.

A final polish with a worn but soft rag and his work is complete.

Still in kneeling form, legs numb from the hours at Her boot, he holds his work in the palms of two calloused and dirty hands. Raising them above his bowed head he presents them to Her, the metal a glorious contrast to his flesh.

Even with head bowed, eyes blurred and back torturously bent, he can see that his seventh attempt is beautiful beyond any hope he had. This settles him and his arms steady as he awaits Her learned inspection.
An eternity passes before She speaks. In a strong voice without hint of emotion She tells him to look at what he has done.

Anxiety fills him, purging the peace he had rested in and his eyes move to the object of importance.

The collar is precious. It’s look is delicate as it seemingly floats in his hands, an illusion for he knows the strength of each link. The metal pieces had been shaped into filigreed knots, each one unique in its form but perfectly fitted to the link before it and the one behind. The candlelight is the perfect companion and causes a warm glow to emanate from the white gold used in its crafting.

Her soft exhale of satisfaction brings tears to his eyes and She tells him to come closer.

His pain and numbness forgotten, he crawls gracefully toward Her, settling close at Her hip, his face merely inches from her breast. As he settles his hands holding the collar on her lap, She leans forward and unlocks the old and weathered collar around his neck. For the briefest of moments his first collar clings to his neck, almost as if desperate to stay, then slides to the floor at Her feet.

He at once feels naked and vulnerable despite the apparent strength in his muscled body. Tense, he waits for Her to replace it with his creation but minutes pass and his neck is still bare.

At once She rises to a standing position above him accompanied by the soft tinkles from the collar in Her hand. He looks up to Her in confusion as She lifts the collar to Her own neck.

The look of pride and humility in her eyes trigger a shift in His mind. Old thoughts and instincts rise to the surface and He stands slowly, allowing time for His legs to accommodate His weight again. Once upright, He reaches forward covering her hands with His and exerting enough pressure to move the collar in her hands the rest of the way to her neck. In concerted movement, perfectly as O/one, they fasten the collar around her neck.

B/both breathless, the air is still and only the sounds of two heartbeats echo in the chamber.

Wrapping His form in the cloak of Domination He places His hand on her shoulder, pushing her to her knees before Him. She looks up at His handsome and powerful visage, a swoon of love and desire move her.

He has taken this challenge, unafraid in His Dominance. Never once succumbing to rage nor uttering complaint. At T/their unaccustomed reversal He is made even stronger in His victory over submission.

He takes a leash, attaches it to her bittersweet collar and sits in the chair still warm from her body. Pulling the leash He guides her to the spot before Him where He once toiled. She awaits His pleasure as His attendants bath and clean His hands, massaging His back and bringing Him refreshment.

Taking a handful of something from a container seated next to Him He reaches toward her opening His hand. Hundreds of pieces of misshapen metal bounce off her lap and the floor around her.

Settling on one, she holds a metal piece tightly and begins to shape it with the most minuscule of cuts.
