"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.

"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!"

There you are. Go ahead and sit down.

You can write articles about him all you like, just make sure they aren't biased.

People around you are going to get hurt, otherwise. [ She places a hand on Widget, covering what emotion it's projecting. ] And I mean hurt. Physically.

Archer would never threaten me.

... And cut it out with that manipulating business. He's not that kind of guy.

(Why does cardboard have to be part of that sentence?)

Not everybody apologises for the things they've done. But that doesn't mean you should be writing your personal issues in a newspaper, no less.

Archer's a jerk, sure, but his heart is in the right place. He's just not good at expressing himself. [ Ugh, that's not the point. ]

From how I see things, you'll eventually start writing more articles filled with false accusations. I think I've had enough of that from you in one lifetime. And if you keep doing that, you'll make a lot of enemies.

You probably already have some, and your friends are just trying to control the problem from outside so that they don't get to you. [ Hint, hint. ]

He's my friend and I won't let you talk about him that way!

[ She may have just yelled there, but she just can't contain herself when her friends are being talked about in a negative light. ]

Can you imagine yourself as a judge, and getting wrapped up in your emotions before passing a judgement? I'd rather get arrested than be in court with somebody like that!

I'm not talking to you because Archer told me to, [ That's a lie... ] but because some person approached me and threatened me.

[ THAT'S ALSO A LIE. I'm gomen, Myriam. ]

If you continue calling people "cruel", or defaming them for no particular reason, then I don't think I'll be able to see you anymore.

No.

I can't do that. More people will get in trouble if that happens.

[ She doesn't need Widget to hear so much panic and confusion, and she starts panicking herself. ]

Ugh... Myriam, calm down! It's- It's fine. Just stop, okay?

... actually, if you could apologise to Archer for the jerk thing, that. . . that would be great. He might even stop being a jerk to you...

[ Oh god, what has she done...

She grabs the CereVice and changes some of the text. She may as well go with this since it seems to be working.

No more false accusations.
I'm sorry.

Something like that might be better...? I think he'd get mad if he found out about the person threatening me.
