TRU04: PROPHECIES
[Whether due to lazy staff, a clerical error, or an intent to send a message, each unit in Concord Crossing awakens to a bundled-up periodical on its doorstep in the morning...]

THE CONCORD TRUTHOGRAM
"The most honest and trustworthy publication in Concord!"
CONCORD CULT'S ENDGAME
REPTILIAN RELIGION'S RAPTURE IS REALIZED

The signs can be ignored no longer: the reptilian pygmy cultists of Concord are bent on bringing about their own depraved prophecy of the end times. Our exclusive eyewitnesses have witnessed one reptile seemingly suffering from a festering plague, and another revealing itself to be an angelic harbinger of the apocalypse; investigation is ongoing as to whether or not any actual people will be harmed in the cult's self-made armageddon or whether the rest of us can simply leave them to their wretched devices and idolatry, as well as the true nature of the strange, demonic goat that appears to serve as the cult's supposed deity. One reporter has spied it within the Priory during a late-night investigative visit to a Warlock's private (Continued on page 3)
A PRINCESS' PASSIONATE PLOY
The dread Princess Corrin's imperial aims for Concord have taken a strange turn: unwilling to risk a scrap of power falling to anyone outside the Cabal's inner circle, eyewitnesses have reported that Corrin has abandoned her habit of taking beastmen consorts and has instead begun courting one of her own lieutenants as a sultry royal bride-to-be. Our political analysts believe they plan for the institution of an oppressive matriarchy where men will be collared and (Continued on page 4)
KEEPING WATCH
Whether a proactive measure of caution or an indicator of weakening faith in their own literal Starfallen dogs, the Concord so-called "Astronomical Society" has begun hiring private investigators to spy upon Starfallen activities outside of the city proper. Unsurprisingly the moral fiber of this Secret Police seems to be lacking, as an undercover journalist has witnessed one of them approaching a vulnerable newcomer and "...feeding her his pocket sausage". Despite the (Continued on page 6)
PARDON MY CANDOR
Allow me to be the first to say what everyone with half a brain already knows: so-called 'drunken and disorderly conduct' isn't a real crime, and certainly not one that would call for a month and a half of 'community service'. Let's all just call it what it is: The Concord so-called "Astronomical Society" has moved straightaway into brazen totalitarianism and a transparent effort to oppress independent journalism in (Continued on page 8, "Letters from the editor")
[The Starfallen quickly all congregate on the same page in the Liber Nuntiorum to discuss it...]

WELL. TALKING, FRIENDLY, AND EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE SKELETON.
BUT! NOW I'M CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR PAST CULT-BASED EXPERIENCES...
no subject
Wait, do you actually have blood?
no subject
I HAVE MANY QUESTIONS
ALSO I HAVE... MARROW? AND MAGIC. MONSTERS ARE MORE MAGIC THAN PHYSICAL, AFTER ALL.
no subject
I'm not that smart though, so my answers might be wrong!
Also I think I'm finally getting a good picture of what you actually are which is nice. Sorry about all those "undead" remarks!
no subject
WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS WEIRD BUTT STUFF, AND SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?
ALSO! NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM NOW USED TO THIS MISCONCEPTION.
IT CAN BE A BIT EXASPERATING WITH STRANGERS, BUT I'M ADJUSTING. ISH.
no subject
I've made use of celery before.
no subject
WHAT IS THE STUFF WITH THE BUTT?
AND WHY BUTTS?! I FEEL LIKE I'M MISSING A CRUCIAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.
THOUGH AT LEAST CELERY IS HEALTHY???
no subject
But not the way iiiiiiii use it~
And it's because people like butts! They're great! You go swish-swish and shake your tail around, give everyone a good look... You can hypnotize people if you're not careful. Or if you're very careful.
no subject
I NEED TO MAKE NOTE OF THIS. FOR PURELY SCIENTIFIC REASONS!!!
THOUGH...
I SUPPOSE I HAVE SEEN SOME. RESPECTABLE REARS? ...AND POSSIBLY DESIGNED ONE.
FOR A FRIEND. HE WANTED A HOT BUNS, AS THEY SAY.
no subject
Anyway this is not important you have to tell me about the ASS YOU DESIGNED???
TELL ME MORE
no subject
VERY... FIRM? AND SHAPELY?
HE WANTED SOMETHING... SEXY. WITH FINELY TONED LEGS THAT HE COULD USE TO "STRUT HIS STUFF."
HIS NORMAL FORM IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE RECTANGULAR, SO THERE'S LESS FREEDOM OF MOBILITY. LESS ROOM TO SHAKE HIS GROOVE THING.
OR POSE SEDUCTIVELY. EVEN THOUGH HE MAKES IT WORK VERY WELL!!!
SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE... HE COULD DO ALL THAT. AND SIT MORE COMFORTABLY BECAUSE IT ALWAYS LOOKS SO AWKWARD WHEN HE TRIES TO SIT DOWN IN HIS RECTANGULAR FORM!
no subject
You are so cool. Does your friend go to this dimensional nexus or are they somewhere else
I want to meet them
I want to see any and all past and future and present asses that you design please
no subject
[Papyrus proceeds to draw Mettaton's box form in... rather exquisite detail.]
BUT HIS SPIRAL FORM IS DECIDEDLY LESS GEOMETRIC BUT EQUALLY SEXY! LIKE SO.
I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, DESIGNED THIS FORM JUST FOR HIM!
no subject
Wow, he looks all fiery. And are those glasses?
What's his butt look like though
