You just got yourself a FES-themed balloon hat that looks like the AE projection resting atop a turtle's shell

Edit: This is what AI thinks your hat looks like, so this is what your hat looks like

Here comes the Sun and I say, it's alright.  Available for spotlight, if necessary.

Gotham, too important for lighting due to the esteem held by longer serving members than I.
But we need a high mage and chronicler.

Alexi, Keep the sheep out of the flower beds.

Wise I hear what you say but this is bigger than us now and we cannot be partisan about this, bringing the FES together to ascertain the fate of D1 maybe our greatest legacy.

Slem, Iron, what are you thinking? no thank you, (shudders).

Crout's, Boydsta! Sterling work. Spacey, I'm watching you, no flat caps you hear?

Trapper hats only!

Thank you, Jura. I will keep myself available to fill any position needed per your discretion.

Love it! I shall wear it with pride as I'm mixing up cosmos for all takers.

The committee was created.
chairman: wise
chief inspector: slem'on
Spiritual crimes investigation representative: Giovanni
chief inspector of disciplinary offenses: Gotham
internal intelligence officer: boydster
inter-inspector coordinator: space cowgirl.
Chairman of volunteers:: jura
victim: disputeone

No other official is official. Volunteer support is always available. The situation of those who are included in the team and take part in another team will be examined later.

Jura I understand you. however, I maintain my position regarding the people I mentioned. We can find a middle ground. These people cannot be members officially, but they can be volunteers. If you coordinate them, the problem will be solved.

Our goal is to solve the problem, right? This is the way.

As Captain of Starters, I have a nice Charcuterie Board to start.



8 oz. wheel of brie cheese
4 oz. piece of gouda cheese, wax removed, thinly sliced
8 oz. block cheddar cheese, cubed
6 oz. thinly sliced salami
4 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto



As Turd doesn't want to recognize my position, he can not partake in the deliciousness and instead can eat this...

Okay, I’m all for compromise, negotiation is everything, although I think we will miss Boydsta’s deft touch with the balloon sculptures.

Stash & NSS become salaried as The Skeptical Food Stash Catering & Beverage Collective, Crouton, can utilise his unique gifts and incite, and is taken on as freelance chronicler, poet and rap-master, Jimmy if he’s interested can do venue security, but something a little different to the standard wrapped shades and scowling, maybe Alice in Wonderland themed or a highly trained Baboon troupe, Shifty (who I forgot) would be perfect for customer relations, Lexi is runner.

But! And this is a big But, this Giovanni character, not committee material I’m afraid, a disseminator of falsehoods and most importantly not a registered member of the FES, at best you can take him as a personal consultant and food taster, I recommend you get a food taster.

I approve of the boydsta becoming Minister of Propaganda and Balloon Animals as there is an agreement.

I also liked your suggestions for Stash and NSS, as I don't think it will negatively impact the rest of the investigation. Stash & NSS become workers as The Skeptical Food Catering & Beverage Collective. I guess that wouldn't require me to see them. Also, the tantrums they will have about me will not affect the investigation, or will affect it in the least.

This version of Shifter is not usable. It needs for format. Even so, If he works from a distance where he can't sabotage the inspectors though, I'm fine with that.

Jimmy doesn't act much different from the NSS these days. Also, he is not an active member in general anyway. I think it would be more helpful if you commissioned him as your own private food taster. I'm sure he will do it for you with pleasure.

This is not a place for children, so it would be better if Alice stays in wonderlend.

Good news for you about Giovanni, he doesn't want to be here. He did not accept the job I offered. He doesn't even want to be in the same environment with you and the others. I am writing the estimation since it does not provide a definite reason. I think he had a point mission and it was completed. Because it refuses to communicate again. Anyway, I'm regretfully removing him from the list of investigators.

I insist that Slem serve as chief investigator, Gotham's disciplinary inspector, and scg as inter-inspector coordinator.

If you redistribute the tasks according to the task distribution we agreed on, let's edit the list and give it a final form.

Updated.
The committee.

chairman: wise
chief inspector: slem'on
Spiritual crimes investigation representative: TBC
Chief inspector of disciplinary offenses: Gotham
Minister for propaganda and balloon animals.: Boydster
inter-inspector coordinator: Space Cowgirl.
Chairman of volunteers & awesomeness: Jura

Non committee but allied service providers;

Crouton; freelance chronicler, poet, and rap-master.
Stash & NSS: The Skeptical Food Stash Catering & Beverage Collective.
Runner, Lexi.

victim: disputeone

We have agreed all others, except one. We need to discuss the TBC. You mentioned it the other day, but I didn't understand then either. Who and what is this TBC?

Oh, it was TSB. And this one is TBC. How many T'es more do you have?

Whatever you do, don't let Jura hear anyone's true name.

The TBC in this case stands for “To be Confirmed” and is a substitute where the position hasn’t been filled, in this situation because Giovanni hadn’t got the cojones for the job.   

As for the thorny problem of D1 and deferring full investigation to Slem’.

If those of us with either information, intuition or credible sightings, post what they have here, then we may get a speedy resolution and circumvent the uncomfortable position of interrogation by Slem’ (those pitiless eyes!).

For my part I think this is just part of his general “modus operandi”, albeit this time sounding a bit more upset when he fled, I suspect he was suffering from Jesus fatigue.

Anyway. I think it would be more appropriate for us to diagnose the problem instead of focusing on each other. Now that the investigative team is complete, I mean, almost, we can begin.

I remember he talking about a woman. She said she didn't look like any of the other women. I think it's someone he just met.

Okay. What do you have?

Updated.

Unacceptable.  I'm not a food service.  Am sure that Stash isn't either. And even if we were outside the committee, we don't serve goats.

There was a time D1 posted:

Why did I put myself through this? I knew what was going to happen then I just let it happen.

I'm tired now.
Aren't you all tired too?
Of this?

And was absent from the site for over a month, from 22nd July to 7th September.

I am now accepting apologies. Unequivocally and without questions, get in while stocks last.

Having studied Jura's ways, I feel that they would have left a changeling in D1's wake were they responsible, and we would not have noticed the meddling. As such, I advocate cautious optimism for a period of two months as it is not unheard of for users to choose to take a break. His previous goodbye post is reminiscent of his most recent post.
I shall investigate further after purchasing a horseshoe.

Changelings! Sooo Middle Ages.

The preferred nomenclature in these times is Otherkin, Indigo children or Capgras delusionists. 



edit; more o's

The team is doing well. I didn't understand anything but could this be a sign that everything is going well?

Today is the last working day of the week and for me this work will be over to the next week. I hope it doesn't end without me.

I'm a little confused, so let me just ask a clarifying question to be sure I focus my efforts where they are most needed and most helpful. Should my chief priority be in the propaganda and balloon animal direction, or should I be more focused on the intelligence side of things?

Balloon animals. We need two dogs, three turtles, and one platypus asap.

I was about to say propaganda and intelligence, but I see Slem got there first with the, "No dear, you stick to the balloons!"

Such a bitch.

I've used advanced Artificial Intelligence to create a swarm of highly intelligent cybernetic balloon animals - all the cutest of animals, too, so as to be quite disarming.

Here is Reginald the balloon sloth:


A mated pair of balloon ostriches and their balloon baby named Sam, The Sham, and The Pharoah:


And I have 35 clones of this delightful balloon bee, named Debbies 16-51:

Mmmm, maybe try the propaganda.

When is our first vote on the problem we're trying to solve? Before or after the banquet?

And what's the problem we're trying to solve?

First we are going to need copious amounts of Holy Water.

I decided to make my own. A lot of it...

Mmmm, maybe try the propaganda.

Well fine, I'll just set this swarm free to do as it will then and I'll get started propagandizing.

I think we can trust Jura
I trust Jura completely
Do not question Jura. Jura may be relied upon in all things.
So says the investigation.
