Return To Sender // Issue 15

What's this? A second issue of The Pepper with less than a year in between? It's a St. Paddy's Day Miracle!! Or is it...no, it definitely has nothing to do with the beloved editors of the paper finally getting their act back together. 

This phenomenon may bear some investigating, but it's one that we certainly won't be looking into...instead, we recommend you count your lucky clovers, and cross your fingers that it continues! And of course, keep reading, be scandalous absolutely charming, and fascinating in our group gathering places, and be sure to send the editors lots of cookies. Shall we get on to the news? 

Webby's latest storm gets Returned To Sender

Webby, in spite of adamantly denying any and all responsibility for the numerous storms she has caused over the years, has been proven to have sent more than one massive storm across the nation. It's no shock to the members of the clan when the roots of each seasonal storm can be traced back to her secret storm brewing stations. But this month, it doesn't look like her March Stormfest is going according to plan. Her epic March Snowstorm got Returned To Sender, dumping snow on Webby's location just in time for her birthday. The Editors can't help but wonder...is this weather karma coming out to play? Did the Empress finally intervene? One could ponder these questions all day. But instead, we send our wishes to Webby for an excellent day of birth memorial and hope that since she has snow, she makes snowcones out of it. 

Famous WS Team is allegedly kidnapping People

The famous Wayward Squirrel Team, who we will refrain from naming due to privacy issues, has been accused that some of its members have sought out a windowless van and tried to kidnap other LVRT members to add to their rather small team numbers this year before starting on the much-loved RolePlay adventure on Subeta. While they declined to comment on this illegal activity, one member was heard to be yelling in the background "I DO WHAT I WANT!!!!" The authorities believe that is enough to identify some of the involved parties and are investigating now. The team, which has grown by three, claims that no one was forced to join and that they are all happy to be there. 

NEKKID NEWS

Last month we called out one of our regular features in this most iconic section of The Pepper asking if she was okay due to her excessive clothing. It seems like she is giving us a sign that all is well with her latest outfit, captured by our correspondent. 

Frieda is planning on going all out in a "Sexy Weasel" outfit for St. Paddy's. Pretty sure that's a whole lot of leg...

Have you spotted anyone who deserves a feature in our wall of shame for nekkidness? You can PM the editor at your convenience. 

When the world is a mess

Our world is a mess. It has been for a long time. With so much sadness, pain and loss it can be hard to know how to keep going forward, how to keep being alive when it feels like there's no sunshine anymore. 

I just want to say that while this may be a silly little paper meant to entertain and connect with friends within a game site who have become dear to us, I see you guys. I see how hard it's been, and how hard it still is. We are here. We hope we make you smile. We hope you know you're not alone. Because what we want more than anything is for a little bit of hope, a little bit of joy, and a whole lot of peace and love. For everyone, no matter what place they were born or what they believe. 

Sadly, I can't change the world very well on my own. So I'm just going to say on behalf of the editors of this paper, and from my heart: You are loved, my friends! Don't let this world get you down. I'm hear if you need an ear. Just keep on, okay? <3
