With power outages continuing throughout the city, officials have turned to gaining further assistance from Faery. Though not familiar with the concept themselves, representatives from the Fire and Air Courts have agreed to meet with scientists and see what assistance they might be able to offer.
Many citizens are questioning the cost of our constant reliance Fae goods or knowledge. And in turn another set of scientists have splintered off from the community and taken matters into their own hands. Although reports are unconfirmed, this group has begun to push the limits and are using theories widely considered debunked by the scientific community.
Through Fae methods or our own, Notion City residents are in great need of new energy sources. With power fluctuations and coal resources running low many residents are being left without a reliable heat source as we dip into what has been called the "Coldest Winter Ever."

Mayor Addresses Notion City, Surprising Events
-Notion City, March 7th, 1920 Front Page
Mayor McCarthy took the podium outside City Hall today to alleviate the growing concerns of Notion City residents. He began his speech with a glowing compliment to the town itself for enduring the hardship that it had. "Never have I been more impressed by a city that has stood together in the face of adversity," said McCarthy. "We could have had rioting and overturned cars. But instead, the people here put their anger and frustration down with a pen. I took all that criticism to heart and immediately began to look for a way to solve our woes." He went on to state that our rough times had ended. And invited a young woman to the podium.
The woman classified herself as a representative from the world on the other side of the Fog, bringing shock from much of the onlookers. She further claimed the disappearances were caused by some strange connection of the Fog between our world and hers, people merely stumbling through this pseudo-gateway the Fog has caused. She gave no name, stating she was merely the most well respected emissary for her people.
"We're truly sorry for what has occurred here. Many of yours had disappeared, those found are being returned. I'm sorry to say that not all may be found though. Our world is a harsh and dangerous place, some of our more dangerous residents have already escaped into your world. However, as we are in a similar situation we see no reason that there cannot be a relationship between our two races. We will begin supplying this city with food in days. Our resources are abundant, and once safe we encourage visitation to our world. It is a beautiful place, as we have found yours to be. And hope soon to visit more often."
The mayor was quick to explain that negotiations had been put in place a day beforehand. And assured citizens all would be changed for the better. The press would be allowed to meet further representatives of this other world, along with the general public in the weeks to come as further negotiations between our peoples were made. The Informer tried to get a more personal comment from the Mayor but he declined to speak to us.
Other members of the City council refused to comment as well, leaving much of the press and the citizens in the dark about these new arrangements and any contracts made between the two people. Though, they did at least state that after all had been complete full disclosure would be made to the press and thus to the people.
The emissary of the, what many residents are already calling, Fae departed before the Informer could reach her for comment and no other known source for these people has been made public. However, plans have been made to send one intrepid reporter through the Fog and not only return with a statement from some governing body upon the other side, but also a look into the way of life for these people whom we now share a common situation.

Missing Persons Appear Exiting Fog
-Notion City, March 7th, 1920 Front Page
After over weeks of disappears a few people have been reported as returning to their homes. The police had informed us that many missing persons reports have been dropped by those who submitted them. When reached for comment many of those people have responded that their loved ones have returned to them.
Though, many have also been admitted to the hospital. While happy of their return, many are now concerned for the mental health of those lost. Most were reported as having hallucinations among other symptoms of mental illness while on the other side of the Fog. Some who had disappeared from the start even claimed that they had only been gone five minutes.
However odd these occurrences might be there seem to be no common themes other than some form of hallucination and time distortion. However, some claim to have even been gone months. These symptoms are baffling doctors, who are struggling to determine what sort of effects the Fog is having on the minds of these individuals.
We were able to sit down and talk with one of the returned individuals.
"It was a strange place," remarked David Kelly, a middle aged grocer. "I remember I was driving out of town to get my produce when out of no where, I was on some mountain pass just missing the cliff's edge. I got out and looked behind me. But the city was gone. I wandered maybe for days, until I was greeted by this creature."
Mr. Kelly continued at the length about the creature and it was difficult to not see the similarities between this and other creatures who have begun to appear throughout the city. Still no word from city officials yet, though the Mayor's speech is tonight. Perhaps he is simply waiting until that time to make a statement.

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.
