The police are baffled by a series of homicides which suggest a serial killer, but which do not share the same modus operandi or victimology, or indicate any sign of a need for trophies or sexual release. They are calling this potential single killer the New York City Phantom. I suppose I understand their need to sensationalize, even if I believe the name Murder appropriate.

As the newest employee, I have been assigned the duty of "decorating" our workspace. It is apparently some archaic ritual to grant suffering under the guise of humor to the latest addition to the team in an effort to break them and bring them closer together through trauma; they did not say this, of course, but I have seen enough men die this way to know its purpose.

I have agreed out of obligation, despite my distaste for the idea of distracting colors and cumbersome items within my personal work area. Is someone who is more knowledgeable as to what I should be looking for available to join me in the purchase of these items? If you are feeling particularly adventurous, you could help me display them as well. I admit I have absolutely no knowledge of what they might desire.

I would like to thank you all for your aid at my arrival. Will you join me to a dinner, or something of that nature?
