The Girl in the Long Red Jacket lends a helping hand to anyone bogged down by red tape and injustice. Her sharp mind can improve any situation, and if physical force is needed, she can cut her enemy down with the sword under her coat.

Misses Brown once had a lovely daughter. When she was murdered by a rejected lover, he never counted on Misses Brown being a witch. One spell later, and the rejected lover became a pine tree in the back yard. Then chainsawed down. Anyways, the witch Brown then decided that men were the blame for evey wrong doing in Paradice City. So, in order to bring order and piece to the city, she aductes little boys and spell them into little girls. Now, the witch Brown has lots of lovely 'daughters', and seeking more evey day.

Big Log was an ex-lumberjack who once worked as an agent of Thorn when he did a caper at Paradice City. Using a herbal formula, Big Log was able to change into a treeman and back (basicly a plant based brick). But eventuly he had a change of leaf when he realised that 1) animals/humans can live with plants quite well, thank you, and 2) that what Thorn was planing was wrong. So, as punishment, Big Log was sprayed with a chemical which caused him to grow roots into the park, and made his treeman form perament. Big Log lives in the park (pick one), protecting it from crime against both humans and plants. (There is no turning back, Big Log, There is no turning back, Big Log.)

Crocodile Rock is an outcropping of stone in the park. People tend to avoid it when the rains come. There have been too many reports of big reptiles in its shadow during those times.

The Ring of Fire is a hero and villain depending on who has it and what they want to do. When the wearer gets what he/she wants, it moves on to the next wearer.

There is a great goth bar/night club in Paradice City known as Crule Angels' Thethis. Evey night you can usaly find young people wearing eather american emo/goth clothing drinking it up to electronica. About twice a moungth or so, there is a Elegent Gothic Lolita night, where the kids try there darnest to copy the Lolita style of japanies fashion (with about half the clieantell doing a decent job at it) while thay play J-Pop.

My Nightmair is not a goth bar...it is deeper than that. It is a horror theamed nightclub. Most of the time, the pertend vampiers, wearwolves, witches, would-be-Jasons, and such behave themselves. A few times, a real vampier, wearwolf, ghost, revent, ect, can be found hideing in plan site at the bar. (Source: Welcome To My Nightmair by Alice Cooper).

For thoes with a bit of country in there soul can get a beer and linedance at the Acky-Breaky Heart. It is usaly open most of the night. Sometimes you can find a vampier, ghost, revent, or whatever in this bar also (othoe thay are more likely to be in disguise). One of the more intresting nights here is "South And West Night", where paterens are encouraged to dress up in period costume (Cowboy and Civil War are encouraged, and "Old Victoriean" is considered a case by case basics). It hapens only about once evey three mounghts. (Source: Acky-Breaky Heart)

Finaly, another intresting bar is The Ranch, another country night club. The owner is "Sweet" Sue Stevenson, a single woman who appears to be wise beyond her 30 years. Unforcently, she is sometimes bothered by her ex-husban "Saulty" Sam, who has a flair for melodrama, and despertly wants the deed to the bar. He has been known to aduct her and place her in perils. Forcently, she has always been saved by a tall, slow talking stranger named Jones, who always disapears once she is safe. While the police investgate theas events, nobody has yet to capture Sam (as if he dosen't exist... ...in fact, nobody has seen Sue after bar time eather... ...odd). (Source: Along Came Jones)

There is a river in Paradise City that is wider than a mile' date=' it is the Moon River. Some also call it River Of No Return. A Bridge Over Troubled Water leads to the place just outside of town Where The Wild Roses Grow.[/quote']

 

And if you're a down-on-your-luck petty criminal, I know someone you can meet across the river to do a job for him.

Don't even get me started on Hotel California...

You'll be ok as long as you remember steely knives don't work on it. You need silver to kill the beast.

 

Unless of course the rumours are true and they make a clone of you, input your memories and send that out the door. If so then you could never leave, even though you seem to.

Yeah but his health's not good. If he keeps on like that he'll give himself a heart attack.
