[Around Prospero]

[Characters may find themselves encountering some very put upon students handing out what appear to be the school newspaper. They seem to be more than just a little eager to give the things out, and may even mention something along the lines of "If I don't do this, she'll come after me."

As for the paper itself...



The front page is in full color, and features stories on people the network may find... familiar. If not, the other pages are full of embarrassing stories about other students and residents of Prospero, many of them revealing uncomfortable secrets that can't have been discovered through any ethical means.]

[Action]

[As for the writer of these sordid tales, she can be found in the newspaper club room and, later, the dorms. Of course, that's not to stop anyone from dialing up her number about the paper; there is only one member of the newspaper club, so it's not difficult at all to guess who's behind the entire thing.]

[Found her in the newspaper club room with a copy of the paper.]

Is this really a good idea?

[Action]

[puppet_show]

[She turns to talk to him, still typing away even if she isn't facing the screen.]

Oh? Why wouldn't it be? I'm the newspaper club president, so of course I would have to put out newspapers every so often!

[Action]

[unknownrival]

This seems like more personal information than a newspaper should print.

[Action]

[puppet_show]

That's what keeps it interesting!

[unknownrival]

It's unsuitable for a school-run organization. Restrain yourself for the next issue.

*Jupiter, followed by her animals, scratches her head at the paper.*

Whoa, who knew it was that big a deal, man?

[action|streets]

[puppet_show]

[One of the students catches that and gives a sympathetic look.]

"It's all because of that girl. There were weird rumors about her last year, too."

[action|streets]

[cosmicsoul]

*blinks and tilts her head; so do the five cats and one dog following her around*

What girl, dude?

[action|streets]

[puppet_show]

[He looks around warily before answering in a whisper.]

"The newspaper club president."

*Mila doesn't even go to school, but she shows up anyway, just because.*

Nice going, Catgirl.

[action]

[puppet_show]

[She's tapping away on a computer, although she will turn to acknowledge Mila.]

I hope you will look forwards to our continued releases!

[action]

[papermache]

So you're famous now.

[action]

[puppet_show]

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

[Whispers among the student body aside.]

[streets]

[antiviolence]

[Just.

This.

Face.]

The hell?

[streets]

[puppet_show]

[One of the students gives a furtive glance around, as if making sure no one is around to listen, before addressing Shizuo.]

"It's that newspaper club president. Last year they say she intimidated the student council into giving her a room to herself, and now she's putting out papers like these..."

[streets]

[antiviolence]

[You don't know how much he can correlate this to Izaya. He's quickly ping'd.]

Run that by me 'gain?

[Better tell him, random student, because Shizuo don't play nice.]

[streets]

[puppet_show]

[The student looks increasingly unsettled.]

"The newspaper club president has been getting dirt on everybody in the school. Nobody wants to mess with her if they can avoid it."

[Text/Private]

[parkouring]

[How about something completely different? Since Izaya have his own network, like he always did. And he make a good use of that. The moment Izaya noticed the paper, amusement quickly flowed inside him. Certainly someone had a good sense of humor, a humor that stood around the same class of his sense of humor.]

[Assuming from that, only one name passed his mind: Hiyono. Honestly, there were good amounts of informants out here here in Prospero, but from the... colorful cover, it was rather girlish and it was definitely from Prospero High. Thus, Izaya quickly scratched all the remaining informants' name but hers.]

[Later on, perhaps when Hiyono is in her dorms and he's done frolicking around like a creeper, he quickly contacts her in private.]

Props on you.

[He won't say anything too complimenting, but she deserved that.]

[Text/Private]

[puppet_show]

[She kind of expected a text from him, so it doesn't take her longer than a second to reply.]

Information just wants to be free, don't you agree, Orihara?

[Text/Private]

[parkouring]

[God why must you be so colorful. That hurts his eyes.]

Indeed, although I am more fond of keeping some of them for myself.

[Text/Private]

[puppet_show]

[Would you prefer rainbows? She can do that too.]

But it always finds a way out somehow, doesn't it? Like when it's most useful to you.

[Applejack has been getting a bit better at this whole 'being hue-min' thing, and is even now casually walking along the street with a box of apple juice she got at a convenience store earlier. A free limb while walking can be helpful sometimes, after all.

It was when she was passing the school when things took a turn for the worst though. One of the students handed her a paper, the look on their face causing her to raise an eyebrow, but she continued on her way as she gave it a once over and finished up her drink.

And then she did a spit-take.]

HOBBY?! This ain't a hobby! This is me! Just who in tarnation wrote this?! They need to learn to get their facts straight!

[action | streets]

[puppet_show]

[That same student gives a weary sigh.]

"It's the newspaper club president... She's always been creepy, but now she's done this..."

[downtoearthpony]

Creepy? This is just misinformation! At least she better hope it is, because Celestia help her if she's outright lying!

Now where can Ah find her? Ah'm going to make sure she knows the truth!

[puppet_show]

"Well, she's the newspaper club president, so... Probably in the club room at school?

Good luck with her. Hopefully she won't just spread even worse rumors..."
