[[div class="paper"]]
Garish waves of fat and festering waste, deemed "offal" by most, sat all-together rotting in Tawny Gulch just past Pipes-End. A wheeze. A whine. Rigor mortis—surely—or was it the muttered prattle of hot bubbles surfacing? Locals had learned to ignore the chatter—that was, until at once eloquence rang clear. Onlookers aghast; the bog cited bylaws.

And in due diligence, a wayward Representative took the following case:

As an entity consisting of a sum total of a million miscellaneous corpses dating back as far as the city's founding and further, the Gulch wished to argue it was duly a descendant of each and every constituent being, borne from their remnants such.

Invoking the Right of First Refuse—dictating that ownership of newly chartered land must first be offered to any parties who can prove a relative has been buried on the property—it saw a failure on part of the City to inform it of its say in the delineation of its landed interior, and sought to sue for negligence. Furthermore, in recompense, the Gulch wished for mastery of all inside its perimeter.

This motion passed, unbothered institutionally—yet questions of corruption flitted betwixt the regular gossips: Was the Gulch's burbled case truly airtight? Perhaps. Was it simply coincidence, a rare glimmer of functionality through the constant deadlock? Doubtful. Was there just no prosecutor willing to face the smell?

Nobody knew.

Until, clad in suits, the Carrion Callers descended upon the Gulch, plucking decades-old documents of unpaid and fading imbalance and piling them high to the eaves. They agreed! The Gulch could claim inheritance, yes, but in a family bog so deep, deep too was the pool of debts left fermenting in its disdainful gutter-end dumping ground—now ripened;—a feast.

Tawny Gulch was nibbled clean by the flocking firm, forced to sell all that it had earned. Left placeless—it disappeared, slithering far below the city; million corpses all.

A crying shame—still, at least the Plumbs could celebrate. First clean running water down Skinside in generations! Didn't stay long,—what does?—but nice while it lasted.
