Y'all didn't send flowers as a joke, right? Like some Santa competition call back? I mean, I know I'm real good looking, and all but...

Please see the attached photo, which depicts a Valentine's Day message I received today. I would like to have this investigated at once for my own safety.

Yours,

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?

So. Elves. Y'all think the decision was based on height? 'Cause I'm kinda thinking it was.

But I know someone that could probably hook y'all up if you're looking for elf costumes.

I'm sorry in advance if Nick or Luc come looking for elf costumes.

I made a comment and then I couldn't take it back... I know that's not really what you do.

As part of our ongoing effort to ensure the safety of the people of Austin, a 24-hour citizen hotline has been created to report the presence of the undead within the city's protected limits. If you personally witness one or more of these creatures in the area, please call [shared contact] to officially register a sighting. In the event that the presence of a shuffler is merely suspected rather than confirmed, citizens are asked to refrain from investigating further. Instead, vacate the immediate area right away and contact us via the hotline.

I've talked to a few of you about starting a book club here in Austin, and we'll be able to begin meeting at the Lending Library at the beginning of next month. With this in mind, I've been looking for a book to discuss. To my great chagrin, the only books available in bulk in the local bookstores (enough for us to begin a book club, I mean, quantity-wise) is Twilight. I guess no one really wanted it for their shelters back before things changed.

The next book we'll be reading, if you want to order it from the catalog, will be The Great Gatsby. But if you want to do something with your free time now, we have several copies of the first Twilight book available at the Lending Library for anyone who wants to pick it up. Maybe we can hate-read that one.

Chief, I'm sure you're aware of the incident referenced earlier today on the Freenet. Captain Van Dale has corroborated the reports of US soldiers' involvement in the altercation as well; I have attached his report to this message. There don't seem to be any public messages posted in response, so I'm unable to glean anything besides the initial details included in the original post, but I do ask that you keep our office in the loop of any investigations done by your staff.

The patrols conducted by members of your club have proven insufficient so far. What do you intend to do today in order to find these men?

Who loves burgers and fries? If you're in the Barton Creek Greenbelt, it's your lucky day! Announcing the opening of Burger She Wrote - your soon to be favorite place to grab a bite to eat. Stop by and say hi, we'll make sure you don't walk away hungry.

Look for the big yellow truck, you won't miss it. Menu and location will always be evolving, so if you want us to come to your area just let us know. We'll do our best to oblige.

Hello! Olivia told me to get in contact with you all regarding a food truck potentially coming to LBJ tomorrow. My name is Violet, my partner Ryan and I have a truck where we make burgers. We're in the Greenbelt today but can be anywhere tomorrow and LBJ was suggested.

TIME: June 3rd, 2pm

I'm writing to people of the Library and Dog Park to get out the truth -- it's true that I've been returned to the library by my kidnappers. As I'm sure you've all seen on the Freenet, I was taken by the US Government. I still don't approve of the drastic measures that were taken (as I was literally ripped away from my brother's side while out for a walk with our dog) but I think that their intentions are genuine.

Olinger was holding our city hostage and President Hemings has zero experience in negotiating a situation like that. It took them a long time to figure out how to resolve it, but thankfully our city was spared and Olinger has been brought to justice. I've been assured that he and those closest to him will pay for their crimes. I'm also relieved that his successor is someone I trust and whose moral fiber is stronger than just about anyone I know: Nina Clarke.

I know it's going to take time for the US Government to earn our trust, but I am cautiously optimistic that this will be a good turn for Austin.

The explosion earlier, do we know where it came from or what it was in response to? I mean obviously I think we all have our ideas or assumptions as to who the culprits are, but do we know why it happened?
