Hello, followers -
I have been passing my time confined to New York exploring a couple of cases with varying degrees of casualness. Most pressingly, by your recommendation to try and come upon this Cinderella of which spoke. I tried multiple methods of tracking with the devotion of a bloodhound, but it was as if the moment I left my hotel the trail ran cold.
But on the trail which wasn’t I came upon something else; strange reports of a woman (entirely different in nature and temperament) making a mockery of herself in Times Square. Intrigued I went there to see what I could find and discovered in one of the local rubbish bins a whole green folder just thrown away. Contained in it was a collection of legal forms for finance regulations that were of a completely inconsequential nature, but there was one item which was intriguing; it appears to be some kind of incomplete professional letter.
I decided I would post it online, and for this I would like to thank the help of a room servicier and attendant of the hotel, whose name I have learned is Sandy. My ability to take a photograph of the document was hindered, and she allowed me to scan it on the hotel’s personal machine. You may see it below.
There is much that I find interesting about it; it seems the man in question is applying for some kind of job, although his eagerness to do so bewilders me; it is clear that he has no qualifications to speak of. In his defense, I had a good argument about it with the attendant Sandy who disagreed; she was rather charmed by his apparent desperation and believed having the dream and wishing for it so sincerely ought to be qualification enough.
His lack of any qualification and unwillingness to discuss prior history made me consider that it may be useful for your purposes. I hope you can find something in it.

Yes, that is useful. Are you familiar with the book “The Wizard Of Oz”? It is a book that is usually read for children written some time ago by a man named Baum. It seems you have come across the trail of one of the antagonists in that book, a being know as The Wicked Witch Of The West. That letter is something to do with actions we have been taking for a while, and I don’t think it should be too necessary to worry about it.
After some delicate negotiations with the Witch herself and much time, we have managed to form a truce of sorts with her. She, coming from a fantasy setting, is not used to a world that does not run on strict narrative conventions, and she finds this world depressing and full of meaningless chaos. Therefore, she desires to return to Oz, and to that end we have com to an agreement for the moment. I do not believe at this time we need your assistance with her, though any extra information about her that you come across would be nice. She is quite the schemer, and while I have managed to out maneuver her for the time being, I am always preparing for a double-cross.

I have a feeling that this letter is from one of the Cabal members… Just a premonition yet. I need to discuss it with my comrades.
I do not believe that the Witch would fall in with the Cabal so readily–their stated goal is to remain here, while hers is to return home.
Thoughtfully,

P.S. You did not happen to get news regarding the color of this woman’s skin, did you? I feel it would be noteworthy if her skin was green, and if it isn’t we’re dealing with someone interested in the Witch, not the Witch herself.
Also, what kinds of regulations did the finance forms deal with?
Curiously,
Wysp
That, erm… that would by a campaign submission for the Wicked Witch of the West’s campaign. Things have… not worked out for her as you would imagine, but the Witch herself is very eager to return home to where she came from, and we’ll do our best to help her do so.
Tell me: what are your thoughts regarding a return how to the world you came from? I’m sure you miss it but you seem to have made a place for yourself here. Is going home something you want?
