Disappearances Continue, Affects City

-Notion City February 20th, 1920 Front Page

The Notion City Metropolitan Police Department issued a report today on the increasing number of Missing Persons, stating that while evidence shows an overwhelming percentage of these cases have involved the fog surrounding the City that people should not panic or worry. When last checked visibility was near blindness when passing through the fog. It is more than likely that these missing individuals have merely lost themselves in the thickness of it.

Also, they state that under no circumstances should anyone search for those lost in the fog. Search parties are being organized, and anyone attempting to search the fog on their own would only be putting themselves and, potentially, others at risk.

Although the report states to remain calm, many people have become concerned over the various goods, such as food and supplies, that were brought in from the other side of the fog. With many companies shutting down transportation for safety of their drivers, and no new vehicles passing through the fog from the other side, many fear that we do not have enough food to sustain the city. The mayor has taken action to prevent shopkeepers from gouging prices as well as placing limits upon the amount of items one may buy.

To ensure this proceeds fairly, tickets are being issued to Notion City residents. These will come in the form of a small book, for say each unit of milk or bread you buy, you must also provide the requisite ticket to the vendor it is purchased from. Ticket books will be issued based upon the previous census.
