Cupid's arrows finally have been cleaned up from the towns and those who helped have been graciously rewarded. There were a few twists in our story as a masked woman was seen around all five cities shooting what appeared to be cupids arrows at unlikely couples. Name is unknown as to who the masked person is, all they know is she calls herself the Goddess of love and beauty. What a mysterious woman. Who is she?

Bounties

Everglade
Who You Gonna Call?: Not the Ghostbusters. Why? Because these ghosts are dressed up like ghostbusters! Apparently they died during a Halloween party 10 years ago and have recently started busting other resident ghosts in the area who have been minding their business and haunting their own places! It's a dangerous time to be a ghost right now, so some of Everglade's paranormal residents have offered up a bounty of 1,500 red bills to take care of these ne'er-dead-wells!

Fayren
Fair Lady Shanksalot: The nickname seemed to have stuck after a local tavern owner started rambling about Sir Shanksalot around town, which was quickly amended to "Lady" after reports of seeing a maidly figure nearby multiple crimes. Named Shanksalot for the amount of stabbing this knife-wielding criminal committed, many of the bodies have been found with both stabwounds and wolf bites. It's suspected that wolves have been feeding on the victims and that some form of bait may have been used to attract the wolves there, but this part of the theory is pure speculation. Other reports claim that similar happenings have occurred in Genessia as well. The bounty is set at 5,000 red bills.

[*OOC NOTE: For the Fayren bounty this week the character is Sakuya Izayoi, contact Critiana to plot the completion of this bounty! THIS BOUNTY WILL EXPIRE AT THE END OF FEBRUARY! ]

Puddles of the mystery goop that's mysteriously green have been found on the sidewalk, on walls, and just about anywhere you can think of. Be careful though, it appears to be some kind of spontaneous truth drug when absorbed through the skin. Effects seem to last 1 hour. Local authorities will pay 2,500 red bills for the case to be solved, though an equally mysterious private contractor will pay 10,000 to have the culprit brought to them alive and never spoken of again. What a mystery. { OOC: If you take this bounty, in your reply make sure to state whether your character turned the culprit in to the authorities or the private contractor. The goop can be played with by anyone for funsies, but only one person/team may claim the bounty. }
