I returned to the archives today to find the device had been tampered with in the middle of night.

The disembodied spirit of professor Zlotty could be heard whimpering in the humidor, making strange sucky noises between his sobbing, as though he was trying to remove imaginary bisque from thin air. The Dunwich Horror came huffing home in the early morning, rain-drenched and clutching in his indescribable appendages a crudely-drawn map, apparently leading to non-existent dumpsters at the city’s edge. Ms. Teahymn absorbed in a Chinese puzzle box of some sort… the sort which is not a puzzle box at all, but a fancy block of solid and non-moving wood made to look like a puzzle box.

Really, I have no idea what must have gotten into the water around here – especially since really, none of them drink water at all, but somehow the device was tuned to a rather interesting new find when I arrived.

I found there on the crystal screen, some amazing footage captured by some rather adventurous cinematographers. I do hope they’ll be filming more of this incident. This is not one of those talking pictures, and the music playing in the background is at a low volume, but the images are nothing short of amazing.

… Of these buildings, we managed only to explore the larger chambers, and even then, only those that served as entries. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to the shapes and sizes of the doors in between rooms and tiers, as though access between levels was restricted according to the size and shape of those who once lived here.

James, however, is resolute in his notion that our ancient hosts have neither a set shape or size, citing the absence of ladders or stairs between the floors of these strange towers.

Of course this is nonsense. The large amount of human skeletons we have found here, indicate that these strange and seemingly pointless chambers must have been purely decorative, or of some significance to whatever primitive religions or superstitions they practiced.

We’ve counted, documented, and graded what seem to be thousands of years worth of human remains now. For all the varying ages of the bones, and for all the time this settlement was here, it is strange to find the builders of this mysterious city had but twenty or less members at any given time… leading all the way up to only ten or less years ago.

… Is that an octopus? …here?

Hello, no point in introductions, as this is simply a memo. Never mind that it is written on the good parchment and contains a wealth of pictures – as that has much to do with a certain “person” devouring an entire carton of memo paper, and the desk which contained it.

I won’t name names, however, I suspect the certain someone who ate all of the good linen napkins and tried to cover his tracks by setting the table with recycled “goods” from the restroom wastebasket. On that note, sanitary napkins are only sanitary once, and have no place on the dining table, or anyplace in this establishment for that matter save for the women’s room bin.

Needless to say, I feel a major rite of banishing coming on again, and will not be held accountable for anything happens to any archive pets with names that end in “Horror”.

As for other things that need your immediate attention, I feel that we are in need of a handful more relics for the archive, for purely scientific purposes mind you – things which I recently learned of through some sort of magical hole in my newspaper, a hole about the size and shape of a crossword puzzle.

When I happened upon the SteamTeam section, I just knew that these objects were far too important to fall into nefarious hands other than those of the archive staff; I have collected a list of them, and their makers. Please secure these items immediately.

Dangerously Underpriced:

Steampunk amp by Steampunk 22

There is something incredibly wrong when something with this level of craftsmanship and beauty sells for such a low price. I suspect it must be cursed. Aquire immediately. http://www.etsy.com/listing/48618588/steampunk-amplifier-advanced-resonant

Reef Builder by Corina St Martin

Earth Fire Studios has in incredible amount of interesting wearable artifacts, rings, cuff links, and the like- but what really grabbed my attention is this brilliant and colorful painting, which at $1,000 for this level of work, leads me to suspect dark magick in the works. My office wall, of course, would be the best place for regular monitoring of this artifact. http://www.etsy.com/listing/38655519/original-mermaid-painting-the

NewIndustries Light Passenger SteamPunk Airship brooch pin

NewIndustries Light Passenger SteamPunk Airship brooch pin: We must have this. Natural hands do not sculpt metal with such steady hand and attention to detail; Procure it – preferably before this Saturday night’s Advanced Metaphysics Gala. http://www.etsy.com/listing/38329795/newindustries-light-passenger-steampunk

Jolly Roger Skirtlifters by BoilerGoth

I don’t know if these really do what the name implies, but if they have any such magical ability it would be best if I had them in my posession, to protect the honor of the fairer sex. Apparently they come in sets of *two*. I shudder to imagine the sort of perversion that would would need to use this magic on two targets at a time. I must have them, preferably before this Saturday night’s Advanced Metaphysics Gala. http://www.etsy.com/listing/52926145/jolly-roger-skirtlifters

Azathoth Messenger Bag

A long time ago, Azathoth was like “Hey everybody! Sign in blood the Yearbook of Azathoth! I want something to remember you by!”, but when I went to sign his stupid book he said “No, sorry, there is no more room”. I *know* Keziah wrote something about me in there, I just have no idea what. Fetch me this splendid messenger bag, just make sure the yearbook is still in there. http://www.etsy.com/listing/48731287/azathoth-messenger-bag, or (her off-Etsy site) http://store.raygunrobyn.com/

GOLD BEETLE MECHANIQUE Steampunk Ring - Vintage Gold Watch Clockwork Scarab - Original Steampunk Jewelry by 19 Moons

I believe I saw this item in one of those moving pictures shown at the Purely Scientific Expo of Arcane and Dangerous Things several years back,  I believe its sting might gift a person with the ability to self-reanimate. If this is the case, well, I’m the only one of who has not yet achieved some form of augmented longevity, and I think it is only fair that I get *my* turn at not dying. http://www.etsy.com/listing/53280084/gold-beetle-mechanique-steampunk-ring.

Eerily Beautiful and Haunting

Adornments for Tarts has in their possession a number of quality and well-fashioned items for men, in addition to all of these wonderfully made women’s items, but take a close look at the photographs in particular… they are not only perfect, but something somehow beyond only “perfect”. I am left not only to wonder at the incredible and unnatural photographic skills of the photographers, but the degree of supernatural influence this Choklit character must wield to get not just the best photographers available, but several of the very best photographers available.

…Oh, and grab me a catalogue; This beautiful collection of images is in need of closer inspection.
