"You've reached the extension for submitting a story to the Cerealia Times. Please describe your story after the beep. For reference, please include your name and contact information. You may also make your tip anonymously, or ask for anonymity. As a source, your anonymity is protected by law, and will not be revealed without your express permission.
Kahk-kahk... Keep in mind, you cannot be financially compensated for information you provide, for reason of journalistic ethics. ...no, really, journalists aren't supposed to do that."

[if 2 is pressed]
"The Cerealia Times is in need of correspondents, reporters, photojournalists, and delivery personnel.
Correspondent: you are expected to respond to stories that break out in an assigned section of Cerealia, report the information at the scene, interview witnesses, and supply written stories. Mild literacy is required.
Reporters: you are expected to actively pursue assigned stories and conduct related interviews in a timely manner. Mild interpersonal skills a plus, but not essential. With approval, you will be free to investigate your own stories.
Photojournalists: you are expected to record newsworthy events on film. This may require taking shots under suboptimal conditions.
Delivery personnel: you are expected to transport, unload, and fold bundles of newspaper around Cerealia.
All of these jobs take long hours and are very demanding... but they're worth it. --Except for the delivery job, that's just busywork. Sss, sss!
Leave your contact information, desired post, and brief description of your experience, if any!"

no subject
Date: 2015-05-24 11:23 pm (UTC)... It might get wet when you try to drink it. Or maybe a straw would help?

Date: 2015-05-26 01:14 am (UTC)Leia can't help but shake her head, but she'll ask for some water and a fruit smoothie for herself when the next waitress passes by. She'll resist the snacks and desserts... for now.]
Well, at least no one's said anything.
[About her box... I mean, she must get comments a lot, right?]
no subject
Date: 2015-05-26 03:34 am (UTC)[after it arrives, she picks up her water, and holds it up with some fanfare]
A toast to The Cerealia Times, then! May each edition stand as a beacon in the darkness until the newsprint crumbles from age!
[goes to clink her glass with Leia's?]

Date: 2015-05-28 06:05 am (UTC)To the Cerealia Times. Let's work hard together from here on out, and write the best articles anyone's ever seen!
no subject
Date: 2015-05-28 06:11 am (UTC)[it was definitely the happiest moment for Scuttlebutt yet in this place, it'd be difficult to leave her world behind, but with Leia helping her and her finely-honed journalistic instincts, she was sure she'd be able to carve out her own niche here]
[she went to drink her water... but of course the box had no mouth-hole, so she ended up holding it above her head, sticking the straw through the box's eye-slat, and tipping herself back a little so her mouth could reach it]
[ssssssssssssip.]

Date: 2015-05-29 05:11 am (UTC)... Sure you don't need my help over there?
no subject
Date: 2015-05-30 09:35 pm (UTC)...Help? With what? Sss, sss, sss.
