POOLS WINNER VANISHES.
Pub owner hasn't been seen in public in nearly two months.
By Rodney Clanstone, for The Sun.


In the five months since her stunning pools win, Hippolyta Daphne Hollister (30, Mayfair) has been a source of understandable curiosity and speculation. The stunning blonde bachelorette has become something of of a local folk heroine, coming out of nowhere with a Cinderella story that would melt even the heart of Ebeneezer Scrooge.


However, Cinderella's Happily Ever After does not seem to be in evidence for Miss Hollister. Approximately three months ago, Miss Hollister stopped showing up at her business regularly, and for the last six weeks, hasn't been seen in public once. She has apparently moved out of her opulent Mayfair apartment, as it's been empty since the end of March. No forwarding address has been left.


"I don't know what happened to her," claims Edwin Carter, 47, landlord of the building Miss Hollister used to occupy. "One day she just up and vanished. I'm going to put her flat on the market soon, if she doesn't come back."


Miss Hollister has been romantically linked to a strange man, name and origins unknown, who would often be seen coming and going from her flat. (See insert.) However, this man has also not been seen since approximately the end of December.



The police refuse to speculate as to whether or not this man has anything to do with her disappearance. "We've had no reports of anything untoward," replied Officer George Wainwright, 39, of the London Metropolitan Police. "Therefore we have no reason to investigate."


When approached at H.D. Hollister's, Ian McKennon, 32, bartender, confessed his ignorance as to her whereabouts as well.


Is this the result of an eccentric shut in hiding herself from the ever-watchful eye of the press? Or is there something more sinister at work? The Sun refuses to speculate. However, rest assured that we will be keeping the public updated on this tragic story.

((*dies at icon!* Well done.

As for that first, well, it's up to you. The London Hips lives in is originally Ruthven's and Dez's world, and she crashed there. So.))

((Thanks, it's very Courtneymun style, I asked her advice on it. Looks like crap sized down for the icon, but... yeah.
Plus I keep drawing a Dirkitty. I need some NexusLOL to get him stuck as a cat for a while. I have two icons for it already, just didn't upload them.
Hm. It would be insanely convenient if he lived in the same dimension as HD Hollister's and din't have to go through the Nexus to get there, but I also don't want to infringe on anybody else's dimension.))

((Oh, no. Kitty!Dirk, with the hat, would slay me ded. Can you handle the responsibility of that, sir?!

Well, I tend to work on the assumption that everybody is from and lives in their 'origin' universe unless otherwise stated. But that's just me. ;) ))

((I can upload/link the pics when I get home for you. Thinking of doing a third icon already. But I'm being bad posting from work right now...))

((Now you see why I need an excuse to use the pictures? He should get stuck as a cat for a while, so I can use them a lot. Or be struck with some kind of Ranma 1/2-like shit so that he gets changed back periodically.))
