AUSTIN FREENET

Citizens of Austin,

A few notable announcements today.

It is my supreme displeasure to On behalf of our intrepid researchers from Denver, I have been asked to extend the opportunity for immune citizens to apply to assist with research efforts. Please note that these citizens will be entrusted with the retrieval of live undead specimens, and thus all applicants must undergo a rigorous physical examination and combat assessment in order to confirm their readiness.

On April 5, 2020, we will be holding a special election in order to elect one representative and two senators to Congress. It is my personal feeling that it's about time we have representation in our government again.

Lastly, please note that taxes did not die with the rise of our new world normal. Our due date is delayed significantly to October 15, 2020, all things considered, but such things are an inevitability of federal assistance and involvement. I look forward to having Texas representatives play more of a role in our government, as mentioned above.

Yours,
Mayor Nina Clarke
Austin, Texas

Add this to the list of screw ups the flower shop made. Pretty sure I received someone else’s candies and a message about it being the twenty-something version of giving out valentines in school. Reason I know it wasn’t meant for me was because I haven’t joined the twenty-something club yet. So yeah, if they were candies you sent I’d love to get them back into your hands so you can deliver them to their rightful owner.

You can chalk up another mistake for the flower shop. It appears as if I received someone else’s bouquet of roses and with a message about more to come tonight. If these are flowers you sent please let me know so I can return them to you or to their proper owner.

Anyone care to explain to me how it is a arsonist hasn’t been caught yet? I get I’m new to Austin, but don’t we have a fire department and police department who should be all over this? And why are they only happening in one district?

Has anyone else seen unusual zombie sightings? And by unusual I mean frozen. I saw some this morning and called them in, but how do zombies even freeze in Austin? I wonder if it happened when we had snow awhile ago?

Hey Austin,

The Santa Competition went off amazingly and was a great first fundraiser for the Orphanage, so thank you to everyone who came out and showed support for the event and the orphanage! Dr. Whelan has asked me to help them with new fundraising ideas that could happen throughout the year, which I'm extremely excited about. So far a few ideas have been discussed now we’re looking for public opinion on which would hold more interest and/or have more items donated.

Both are auctions of a sort.

The first idea was a date auction, though this would require people to be willing to spend an evening with a possible stranger.

The second idea is a silent auction. This one would require donations from local businesses of goods or services.

I’ve seen both done extremely well and been very successful. So tell me Austin, which would hold your attention more or earn your support?

I hear what's left of US is better off than Austin, but to this guy it seems pretty damn sophisticated. We managed okay enough back home in Johnson City, but we didn't have anything like y'all do here.

I guess the first thing to check off my new-to-the-city list is 'get a job.' Anyone have any leads? I got most of my experience farming but that ain't the only thing I could do, depending.

Attention party people, this is a friendly reminder that there are still a few tickets for the New Year's Eve party happening at The Bar tomorrow night.

The party will be open to the public until 6:45, and once those leaving to make curfew have departed, we will be locked in for the rest of the night, ringing in the new year at midnight! Overnight rooms are limited so reserve one before you're stuck ringing in the new year passed out in a booth.

Leave a comment here or stop by The Bar if you're interested in purchasing a ticket.

Hello Austin! Or should I be saying howdy? My name is JJ and I'm an Army Chaplain. I've been cleaning up St. Mary's Cathedral and though the place is still looking a little rough, I'll be hosting Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services for anyone who is interested. From what I've heard there aren't any churches here yet, so it seems I got here just in time!

So... as a newcomer to Austin where should I go and what should I do? Throw the new guy a bone!

Now that we have a set date to officially open the Austin orphanage (January 2, 2020!), we're super excited to also announce that sign ups are now available for our Big Brothers and Sisters mentoring program! You'll hang out with your Little Brother or Sister at least twice a month though you can definitely chill with them more often if you want. Leave a private comment addressed to mcdreamy, thorns, daddy_daycare, and bellagio and one of us will contact you with a brief application process to figure out if you'd be a good fit for one of our kids. It's gonna be bomb!

Good news, we got some government funding for the orphanage! But we probably should start planning the first quarter fundraiser... any ideas?

Citizens of Austin,

It is my pleasure to announce the results of what I have been told is the first annual Austin, Texas Santa Competition. Though the temperatures may not fall quite so steeply as they do in other parts of our country, my heart is warmed by the holiday spirit and generosity that you all have shown today. As you know, all proceeds from today's event will go towards the establishment of our city orphanage.

With 29.84% of the total city votes, the Capitol district's Santa Claus, Commissioner Isaac Callahan, has won this year's contest. All Capitol citizens will receive a coupon for 20% off any purchase at the newly-reopened Barton Creek Square and Cinema to commemorate the occasion.

I am also honored to announce that the Greenbelt district's Santa Claus, Mr. Max Mendelson, has also clinched victory as a "fan favorite" Santa Claus. All Greenbelt citizens will receive a coupon for 10% off any purchase at the Barton Creek Square and Cinema as well.

I wish you all a happy holiday season. For those who are looking for ways to spend their new coupon, I hear that National Lampoon's Zombie Holiday Hideaway is quite good.

Yours,

The office of
Mayor Nina Clarke
Austin, Texas
Who never once officially relinquished mayorship to Commissioner Callahan, despite his lies

Well ladies and gentlemen, after three days of nonstop painting, wallpapering and assembling, I think I've finally put the finishing touches on my new retail space -- Clothes Encounter (See what I did there???)!!! I don't think I've slept at all and my blood might consist mostly of coffee (thank you sweet girl who makes the most delicious coffee and doughnuts for making sure I didn't starve to death) but oh my gosh it's done!!! I feel like I've conquered the world!!! Though I might just be delerious and exhausted.

So I'm off for some well deserved rest but come by and see me tomorrow at [address]! Christmas is coming and clothing makes a great gift.

As enjoyable as the holiday season can be for some, for others it is often a lonely and stressful time. This is a friendly reminder from the Care and Psychological Department to make mental health a priority. There are various support groups offered at the UMCB, including a new one for those needing a safe space to speak about their experiences from the recent zombie outbreak we had. Those will be meeting weekly on Wednesday afternoons at 4pm. However, if a group setting is not a good fit for you and you're still interested in counseling or any kind of support our department can offer, please reach out for private appointment availability. Confidentiality is of the utmost importance.

People of Austin,

The past several months have been an interesting transition for our troubled city. Austin was held captive for far too long under the corrupt regime of Reeves Olinger but now that we are free of his treachery and have been incorporated back into the United States, our quality of life has been on the rise. But is it enough?

The very government that has been helping in our rebuilding process got us into this mess in the first place by assigning our city to be a test site for Praxacaterol's affect on the zombie population. Obviously that did not go as planned, and instead of the drug being tested on the zombies, it was stolen by the Hellhounds and through their distribution and dealing of the drug, created a group of highly addicted and dangerous individuals. Many died at the hands of this drug, and the government in place mismanaged the handling of this situation entirely. And that isn't where the failures stopped. We were cut off from society and forced to scavenge and fight each day to survive while other cities in the United States were protectd by military, given fresh food, water and other supplies and were able to rebuild their cities into the thriving metropolises they are today. Austin was prevented from reaching its full potential along side the rest of the United States because out-of-touch politicians in Denver decided to turn our lives and our ability to survive into an experiment, and did not question what Reeves Olinger told them was happening in the city.

We, the people of Austin, are owed conpensation for their negligence. Our lives are not to be toyed with. The past few years have proven that we are strong and resilient people, but we were put through more hardship than anyone else in the United States and without our consent. I have written a formal petition requesting extra reparations for the harm they have done to all of us.

[Download Petition.doc]

Please read and if you find yourself moved and share the sentiment that we are owed more than we've been given, join me, the entire city council and even the US Government Liason in signing your name. The more people that sign, the more they will know what they did is not okay and we will not stand for this injustice. If anyone has any questions, I would be happy to discuss via Freenet or by in-person or phone call appointments.

Thank you,
Savannah Posey
