The “Z Music Club”
The Z Music Club’s abnormal nature was first discovered on ■■/■■/■■■■ following a trainee detective recounting his strange experiences at ■■■■■■■■■■■■ High School in small talk with one of his superiors. Recognizing the school as the location where several girls went missing a year prior, it was found to be worth looking more into these strange events. An interview with that detective can be found attached as addendum-1.
Description:
The Z Music Club is an organization based in ■■■■■■■■■■■■ High School. Records of their existence date back to ■■/■■/■■■■, that said, these records only mention their existence, nothing else (See Addendum-2). It is suspected that they actually only came into existence around ■■/■■/■■■■, and through some unknown method have managed to modify documents to push that date back.
The Z Music Club presents itself as a band/music label of sorts, made up entirely of high school students. The club is suspected to consist of as many as ■■ members, each having attained a respectable fanbase. As of ■■/■■/■■■■ they’ve released ■■ albums and performed ■■ concerts.
The club’s leader goes by the name of Dunder. No records of such a person can be found, and as his face is constantly obstructed, it is impossible to try and determine his true identity. It has been found that Dunder is legally registered as the alias of...someone. Despite numerous attempts, the DDA has been unable to read his real name, nor any information that would aid in determining who he is.
It is suspected that the source of the Z Music Club’s power comes from the ability to alter memories. This ability seems to come from performing rituals for the ancient deity ■■■■■■■■■. Though it is unknown what these rituals actually are and what exactly they do, this conclusion was reached after the discovery of imagery related to ■■■■■■■■■ in an overwhelming amount of their media. As determined by Head of Ritual Senetrel Dynjo, in the eyes of ■■■■■■■■■, written records are memories, and thus, they too can be altered using the Z Music Club’s rituals.
The full extent of the Z Music Club’s power over memories is unknown. They are suspected to be responsible for the disappearance of several young girls from ■■■■■■■■■■■■ High School on ■■/■■/■■■■, though only anecdotal evidence connects them to it. It is also believed that this is not the first time they’ve made people disappear (See Addendum-1). That said, they are not without their limits. The Z Music Club is only able to alter existing records, and is seemingly unable to create records from nothing. This has led to the conclusion that their memory altering ability is restricted to the present. They also appear to struggle to effect those who have or had once had a strong presence at ■■■■■■■■■■■■ High School, such as club leaders. Though it’s not impossible for them to alter their memories, it seems to be more worth their time to instead change others’ memories of them, and even then they have only been able to change minor details.
Detective ■■■■■■■■■ is the only known member of the DDA known to have a tolerance for the Z Music Clubs’ abilities, and as such is expected to keep a log of anything he suspects they have changed (See Addendum-3).
No action is to be taken against the Z Music Club at this time due to fears of what may happen to the DDA if they view it as an enemy. Efforts are to be made to recruit students of ■■■■■■■■■■■■ High School to positions in the DDA so that we may better combat them in the future.

Addendum-1:
Interview with Detective ■■■■■■■■■
This interview took place between Detective ■■■■■■■■■, hereby referred to as JD, and Head of Ritual Senetrel Dynjo on ■■/■■/■■■■ to discuss the junior detective’s experiences at ■■■■■■■■■■■■ High School.
Dynjo: Take a seat ■■■■■■■■■.
JD: Yes Mr. Dynjo.
Dynjo: Do you know why you were called in?
JD: No clue
Dynjo: Well you see, we heard from one of your superiors that you went to ■■■■■■■■■■■■ High School, which as you may recall, is the same location those girls went missing around a year ago.
JD: That is true Mr. Dynjo.
Dynjo: We also heard that you remember very strange and abnormal occurrences going on at the school. Would you mind telling me about them?
JD: Not at all. My first few years there it was just your normal public high school, there were several cliques that each ruled over their own parts of the school, and they all seemed to maintain a sense of balance with each other. However at the beginning of my junior year, weird things started to occur
Dynjo: Like?
JD: Some kid by the name of Dunder started something he called the “Z Music Club”. Our school already had a band, chorus, and orchestra, in addition to a room where people were allowed to practice such freely, so it was weird he felt the need to make another club dedicated to music. Even weirder, he was the only member of that club.
[JD paused for a few moments]
Dynjo: A sad kid started a club nobody wanted to join? That’s it?
JD: Oh no. Sorry there’s a bit of a gap in my memory.
Dynjo: A gap?
JD: I can’t remember how exactly it happened, but within a few weeks the Z Music Club had taken over the club’s hierarchy. It had gained several members that nobody in the school recognized as having gone there prior.
They took over the school’s top floor, which had always been reserved for the school’s newspaper club, and claimed it as their own club space. The school’s band, orchestra and chorus also mysteriously vanished along with all records of them and their members. We asked the principle but he denied such a thing existed. People reported to the police that several dozen students went missing, but after failing to find any way to verify them as real people aside from our memories, they wrote it off as some sort of senior prank.
Dynjo: Were any of those students-
JD: The missing girls? I wouldn’t know. Everyone’s memories of the club’s members began to slowly fade in the days following their disappearance. All that remains are vague recollections of their presence. I suspect if we hadn’t left a written record of us noticing their disappearance I wouldn’t remember it happening at all. That said, this happened a year before that case, so I doubt they were among them.
Dynjo: Oh right, sorry I got a bit ahead of myself at the idea of a new lead.
JD: No need Mr. Dynjo. Shall I go on?
Dynjo: There’s more? Go right ahead.
JD: Records began appearing that implied the Z Music Club has existed prior to it’s actual creation, and all of a sudden our school had gained notoriety as the homeplace of the Z Music Club.
My senior year we suddenly had a massive influx of new students and transfers, or at least that’s what I thought. Almost all of these transfer students claimed to have been going to our school for years, and claimed that we were the transfer students. The school was overpacked with students, with classrooms being short several desks, and the maximum occupancy constantly being violated. As days went by, a lot of my original class stopped showing up. I soon realized that it wasn’t actually them ceasing to show up. They had never went to ■■■■■■■■■■■■, they weren’t in any yearbooks or anything.
Dynjo: So someone forced them to transfer out and tried to cover it up?
JD: I wish that was the case. I started texting my friends asking why they stopped showing up. None of the friends I made at ■■■■■■■■■■■■ remembered me, they kept asking who I was and why I was texting them. Soon their phone numbers and our conversations vanished from my phone. The only exception was my friend ■■■■■■ who I’d known since middle school. She thought I was crazy, saying she couldn’t get into ■■■■■■■■■■■■ because of how competitive the school was, said I was gloating about how lucky I was to have managed to transfer there for my senior year. I told her we’d been going there since freshman year and she called me crazy. I asked my parents and they confirmed that I was enrolled in public school beforehand. Apparently ■■■■■■■■■■■■ was and had always been a prestigious private school.
Dynjo: That matches our records, yes.
JD: The only other students from my original class who remained were club leaders. The only exceptions being the Newspaper Club, and Student Council, which managed to remain in their entirety. They were all just as confused as I was, but nobody knew what the hell we were supposed to do. Eventually we all just got accustomed to our new lives.
Dynjo: Do you remember anything about the missing girls?
JD: Those girls were members of the gardening club. Poppy was the only one I can remember from my original class. Before they disappeared, the Z Music Club was teasing some sort of big project. Nothing ever became of this though. After the gardening club vanished, they ceased all mention of this big project, all I know is that their club seemed to slightly grow in members afterwards.
Dynjo: How did the students react to their disappearance?
JD: My original classmates and I had all panicked, but the rest of the student body acted as if nothing was wrong and there was never a gardening club to begin with.
Dynjo: Same as with the disappearance of your original class?
JD: Not at all. We thought the same at first, but the school faculty was also concerned with their disappearance. Poppy’s brother confirmed to us that their family had filed a police report for her and the other members of her club, and that there was an active investigation into their disappearance.
Dynjo: Do you remember the names of the other girls?
JD: No. To be honest with you, nobody remembers anyone other than Poppy. And in fact, we originally only thought she was the only one missing.
Dynjo: Then why were other members reported missing?
JD: We just connected a few loose strings. Poppy was a member of the gardening club, Poppy had mentioned the club having other members on more than one occasion, and after she disappeared, there were no more meetings of the gardening club, and nobody claimed to be a part of it. It was clear that the other members had gone missing, in a similar fashion to what we’ve experienced several times before.
Dynjo: I guess that makes sense. But why wasn’t Poppy removed from existence as well?
JD: No idea Mr.Dynjo.
Dynjo: Anything else of note?
JD: No Mr. Dynjo.
Dynjo: You’re free to go
