LOOSE LOGIC AND THE LOSS OF PLOT

Plot and Logic have once again run away. They are currently believed to be operating a small, illegal Karaoke Bar on a desert island somewhere close to Antarctica. Boredom is doing research to look for leads, but at the moment the only relevant information he has managed to find is the Great Escape of '83, in which Logic, Plot and Creativity were arrested for indecent exposure, and escaped from jail using nothing but a hairpin and a wad of cotton wool. They were found selling self-replenishing-un-editable ink to cartoon characters and comic heroes on the underground three years later! Creativity was promptly arrested, where he is still serving time in the Madhouse County Jail. Logic and Plot narrowly escaped thanks to the generosity of Sanity, who provided them a place of hiding until the danger had passed. The two have remained inseparable, and have since been charged with two counts of attempted treason against Sanity, and one count of possession of illegal artefacts. Although they are not believed to be dangerous, investigators have been warned to be on the lookout for quick wit and sharp reflexes.

Sanity and Intelligence have strongly requested anyone who may have information regarding their whereabouts to contact authorities immediately, and should make no attempt to capture either Logic or Plot single-handedly, as they may find themselves enticed into a world of illegal Procrastination dealing, and suffering long term musical impairment.

PLOT AND LOGIC UNDER FURTHER INVESTIGATION

After a long disappearance Plot returned on Thursday 30 June carrying approximately 5 days worth of illegal Procrastination and a chicken pizza. He was promptly interrogated into the whereabouts of Logic, who is still reported to be missing. Although the pair have been travelling together for over a month, Logic allegedly took flight last Saturday, after a dispute broke out regarding the illegal Karaoke bar. He is rumoured to have sold shares in the business to the Antarctic Mafia, and was last seen performing ballet in the rain with Liver, wearing a bobbled hat and a pink tutu.

Plot has been taken into custody for further interrogation, and is also facing charges of theft and sabotage against Diligence, who has accused Plot of stealing RGB from his workspace and substituting it with CMYK, widely known for its destructive properties.

Sanity and Intelligence have refused comment.

On dragons. On words.

Dragon wings will always beat to the rythem of the heart, and so it was, that all around I heard the rythmic sound of my soul, and the resonance of the silence it disturbed. Far below, in the depths beneath, there gleamed a golden lake, and an island, 'pon which I came to rest.

One day, on dragons' wings I flew, 'cross deserts, and fields and the gentle face of the moon where the stars sang to the beat of my heart, and angels came to play. You were there, you always were, but 'midst the sound of the soul and the song of the stars I failed to hear your voice.

It was too loud.

It always is.

Your words slipped past me, and with them, so did you, my frail hands too weak to hold you near. Below the moon there lies a golden lake whos depths to which you plunged, the sound that followed, silent. So here I stand 'midst the stillness of stars and the sudden sadness of loosing a friend. My dragon is quiet, tucked away from the prying eyes of the moon, her lone tear falling to the depths below to create there an island, 'pon which I'll come to rest.
