...Is that truly what you want of me? I'm not normally staff here, but it's common for charities to have advocates write for them. Well...then I would be pleased to assist you. We always need more hands to help.
Maya would indeed get to work on writing such an article...

"Unrelated to the current incident," she says flatly. "You already admit that you are showing personal bias against a student because of personal dislike of them. Heck, you only like him because he dislikes me. Are you here to help, or just make accusations?"

Suki feels a twinge of... Jealousy? As the other girls exchange their affections with each other over the resolution of the newspaper business. She decides to put her feelings aside for now. They will only hurt someone. So. This is settled. I am going to go. Since this business is finished, after you are done printing the new paper, I will uphold my end, and take everyone out for pizza.

Re: Life and Times at East Marshall High - IC Thread III: We Like It When People Watc
SUKI?!?! How had she not thought of that?! Oh. Right. She had mentally disregarded Suki because she and Sakuya were still having a fight and she was taking Sakuya's side. She had not adapted her mental model to accommodate the change in circumstances. That was a crippling oversight.
"Suki. Do you have time for a quick interview with... him?" Claire pointed to one of her new peons. "It would be a rather large chance for the paper. ...that said I would understand if you refused. The paper has not exactly been good to you. Nor any paper," she sighed as she worked. "I will not press you into- sorry I am still here, how long did you say? One second- I will not press you into anything you are uncomfortable with," she promised.
She could feel the workload she was forcing onto herself eating away at the back of her mind. Risking spreading and causing a total shut down. She refused to let it. Claire would force herself to persevere. She did not know if she could put all this in one paper or if she would need to do a small special issue and push the rest as a head start on the next paper they did, but she needed to keep the momentum running before she ran out of steam.Last edited by Anubis Dread; 2015-04-08 at 12:20 AM.

Re: Life and Times at East Marshall High - IC Thread III: We Like It When People Watc
Youre right. I haven't gotten treated well by this newspaper. If you truly want me to give an interview, you go through my agent. Suki looked around the desk, and finding a pad and a pen, jotted a phone number down. Misanawa Kuriko. She will arrange it, if you can prove it is serious and not just another attempt at scandalising me.

"On it!" Val said, and she immediately started snapping pictures of the nearby area.
Valerie turned her head over to Suki, "Did you say pizza? That sounds awesome! Thanks Suki!"

Robert waited until the nurse had run off, then winced, "Well, George was getting away, so Sakuya started chasing him. I tried to intercept George, he punched me in the stomach, which Sakuya saw and, well things escalated from there." He looked uncomfortable talking about it.
***
"I am here to find out what happened," Mr. Parker said with a glare, "and punish the one who started it."
Before he could continue, the nurse showed up and started looking over George. After making sure he was stable, she turned to Sakuya and said, "Help me carry him up to the office, ok?"

After making sure the nurse could handle George, Sakuya, Robert, and Molly are called back to the newspaper club and 'drafted' by Claire to help out. It's crunch time, people! Time to make or break the newspaper!

Re: Life and Times at East Marshall High - IC Thread III: We Like It When People Watc
Maya, quite naturally, proceeded to write a beautiful story about local charities...the ones she worked at, the lives she's changed...Claire asked for an uplifting story, so she told the stories of those poor souls she got back on their feet during a dark time in their lives, some of whom are quite successful now. Those souls really have had their lives changed for the better. Anticipating she might well get a lot of people willing to help out local charities, or at least donate money, she called them up, getting times they'd most like to have an influx of unskilled labor, and conduction some impromptu questionnaires of some of her coworkers at those various charities. Everyone was very willing to help her, naturally, make her story as successful as it could be.
She was writing what she knew, from her heart, so it was relatively easy for her to produce high quality work, even if she is no journalist and probably never would be. She's been part of church organizations long enough to know how to ask for donations politely, too.
Spoiler: rollSkill, Heir to God's Promise. The involvement of other people is the interviews of her fellow charity workers conducted. Also, potential involvement of students willing to contribute time, money, or both, based on her article. Can't fail.

Sakuya thinks about getting interviews for Maya. It wasn't entirely needed, but anything to make her look better to teachers. However, Claire needed actual help, and so she helps her friend.

"How long does it take to print the usual number of issues? We should print double and hand out the rest to community centers and such out of school. Do not give me that look - I am talking about a second printing here. Not having twice as many issues within the same time frame. Thank thank THANK YOU for helping out Molly. I appreciate it. Name tags! Perfect. Who is responsible for the formatting? Come here and look at my story. I need to know if it will fit the usual format. Someone please look through all the photos Val took and pick out ones that actually fit the stories we are writing."
Sitting back down at the desk, Claire began to continue to rapidly type. A full issue was almost impossible at this stage. But she could at least print the partial issue they needed right now. She could push the rest of the work onto the next paper. Which might seem like she should not be pushing so hard in that case. But George had likely had the next paper half done with work she could not re-use. She was behind on both the special and the next edition. She needed to push as hard as possible to catch back up.
The story. George had gone crazy, Becca was a hero, Sakuya's account is... not as good as she thought. She had to basically rewrite the whole thing and fabricate half the details in order for it to not sound like something she deserved suspension for. Speaking of fabricating she needed to make up a few other details as well. Nothing major. She refused to make up harmful lies for her first edition when George was now off the paper for doing the same. She was juggling too many plates. Claire wished last night had not been one of her designated nights to work instead of sleep. She was beginning to feel exhausted. But she would survived.

Re: Life and Times at East Marshall High - IC Thread III: We Like It When People Watc
Molly decides to give a short interview about reproduction clothes, hoping that it would somehow be able to be worked into Jill's article about her webcomic. So, anyway, the best thing to look for when you want to find a good fakes of old clothing is actually the material. Price can vary a lot, but you generally can't get good leather for under two hundred dollars, and the better canvas or wool jackets that I've found are usually above eighty. Usually, cosplay stuff runs about the same price, but there you're looking more towards accuracy of colors than..."

Jill's hands alternate between blurring across the keyboard as she types furiously and supporting her chin as she glares at the screen trying to think what else she can add. As it turns out, even with Molly's interview to boost the length, it's hard to think of enough to say about their project to even be worth a full article. She grits her teeth and swallows her pride as she uses every sleazy trick she knows to inflate her word count. Come on, Jill, you got this. We'll make this work. We have to.

Suki is sitting, idly drumming her fingers on a desk, waiting for everyone to get done. She isn't sure what the hell she is still doing there, just sitting around. So she decides to at least do something.
So she pushes her chair around over to where Maya is sitting. She pulls out a pad of paper, and writes down a set of notes and hands it over to the girl.

Re: Life and Times at East Marshall High - IC Thread III: We Like It When People Watc
After almost two hours of hard work, the special digital edition of Life and Times at East Marshall High is completed. Though there are only two worthwhile articles that actually managed to be completed on time, Claire's article all about the drug bust and George's actions in the aftermath would be more than enough to satisfy the readers until the full issue next week, as well as seriously boost the attention to Maya's article about the various local charities. And while Jill's article didn't make it in time for the special edition, it shows enough promise that a small excerpt was put into the special edition to tease at the full article that will more than likely appear in the print issue as a guest editorial.
The afterparty is now in full swing. One of the reporters had left to buy soda to go with the pizzas Suki promised, but other than him the gang is all here. Heather and Valerie are talking to one another in a corner of the room and laughing at each other, Rachel (who came to help Maya with her article) is mingling with Hayley, and Greg (who showed up in the last half-hour with an actually very well-drawn comedy strip) is hanging close to Betty and talking about how their love is totally real and will withstand the annals of time and similar crap like that.
Robert walks up to the three writers, "Wow, I can't believe this!" he said with a laugh, "We actually managed to pull this off! Great work, you guys!"

Jill slumps back into her chair, feeling more exhausted than she can remember being in ages, but nonetheless grins at Robert. "Don't congratulate me, I didn't even manage to get mine done on time." She heaves a deep sigh. "God, crazy day, huh? We all get smeared in the paper, I lose my virginity, Becca busts the janitor for drug dealing, Claire gets made head of the newspaper club, and now all this crap. Right now I just wanna go home and sleep for about a week." She subsides into crazy giggles for a long while.

"...and that's why Rey Mysterio was the best cruiserweight wrestler the WWE had had in a long time, and was probably the most fun to watch." Molly finally trails off, and looks over at Greg and Betty. "But... you two haven't been listening at all, have you?"

Greg was staring at Claire, before Molly managed to grab his attention, "Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening. Too busing ogling Cla- I mean, my girlfriend! My smoking hot girlfriend!" He pulls Betty close to him, and elicited odd stares from some of the nearby partygoers, "Who I would never cheat on with Claire or anyone else! Ever!"
Betty, for her part, looked terrified to be the center of attention. She simply nodded, "Y-Yeah... R-Rey Mysterio s-s-sounds like a-an a-amazing e-entertainer..." She squirms a bit in Greg's grip, "T-too tight..." Greg lets go of her with an apologetic look on his face.
Valerie grinned, "Great! Hey Becca, meet your stalker, 'Penelope Snow' otherwise known as Heather!"
Heather shushed Val, "I told you not to tell anyone!"
"Relax, Becca's cool, she won't tell. Anyways, after I got her to spill, we got to talking, and she says that with George gone, her column's going to be more informative and entertaining, and less trashy garbage. So, uh, don't give her too harsh of a disapproving glare, ok?"
Robert smiles, "Yeah, and you would definitely deserve it. And need it, from the looks of it. Seriously, you look exhausted."
"To Claire!" Robert says, joining into Sakuya's toast.

Claire smiled wearily at Sakuya as she received the high five. "Thank you. No. Let me try again. Thank ALL of you. You were all amazing. You are all amazing," she corrects. It was not just that they had all worked so hard. It was that they appreciated her efforts. They were cheering her name. She had been 'popular' for as long as she had been at school. But this was perhaps the first time she had felt genuinely, sincerely liked for her own accomplishments. It felt... nice.
Walking over to Jill's chair, Claire gently settled herself into Jill's lap. "That was a tough battle but we persevered," she began, unable to help a small yawn as she settled her head on Jill's shoulder. "But we all made it through. There is still some... things to discuss..." she went on somewhat quietly as she closed her eyes. "Maya. I would like you to be a permanent columnist. I know you have much on your plate. But I think we can both agree spending less time at charity and raising awareness will be a net benefit for both the charities and for your health. Sakuya. Heather. I would actually like you to-to-to work on the column together..." she practically sighed. "I think it will give... more comprehensive advice since you are on opposite ends of the... the uh... spec... spectrum when it comes to romance. It will also allow for amusing... 'he said she said' commentary. Except you are both she's..."
Claire was probably speaking for too quietly for the people she was speaking to to actually hear her. She was basically mumbling her thoughts aloud at this stage. She needed caffeine. No. She needed rest. "Jill... our comic is going to the publishers at the end of this week..." she continued in a mumble. "They expect it can be on shelves in three weeks... I'm almost done with the effects on the second issue. How is the draft for... for... you smell good," she sighed happily.

"Marrrglgrdful," Claire gargled in reply. Before taking a breath and replying a little more clearly. "She is... very focused on romance. She thinks everyone should be a couple. You believe... if someone disagrees with you they should be stabbed. I exaggerate both positions. But you can see the uh... the contrast."
Opening her eyes, Claire smiles softly up at Jill. "You smell like you. It is a nice smell. Plus I now associate the smell of your sweat with incredible sex. It is pleasant," she sighed happily.Last edited by Anubis Dread; 2015-04-08 at 11:12 PM.

Thank you, Claire. Your efforts may have just given me a sorely needed break. Even I have limits...and I will gladly lay down my duty for a while, now that I have other people willing to take up the call for me, at least for a little while. Though...I don't even know what I'd do with myself if I wasn't working.
