"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!"

Date: 2015-06-10 12:38 pm (UTC)Re: voice;
Date: 2015-06-10 12:40 pm (UTC)...I thought you hated me, I guess.
[Maybe this was Nonon's influence?]
voice;
Date: 2015-06-10 12:58 pm (UTC)I hate Archer, and you're Jakuzure's friend.
...And you're loyal to your people.
Re: voice;
Date: 2015-06-10 11:59 pm (UTC)...mind if I ask ya? What's your beef with Archer? Anything specific, or just... y'know, local-jerk quality behavior?
voice;
Date: 2015-06-11 02:06 pm (UTC)[ Not to mention he tries to make up for it with materialistic things like food and presents, that usually come with a backhanded note. That doesn't work on Ryuko.
They also got into a brutal fight, but that's definitely not going to be relayed to a news reporter. ]
So yeah, local jerk.
voice;
Date: 2015-06-11 04:54 pm (UTC)...Athena seems to think very highly of him, though.
voice;
Date: 2015-06-12 01:04 pm (UTC)Wait, don't tell me she white-knighted him after your artice?
Re: voice;

Date: 2015-06-16 10:26 am (UTC)Don't think badly of Athena for it... she's got a good heart. Better than most of us.
voice;
Date: 2015-06-16 10:31 am (UTC)We're from the same world, you know. Los Angeles, 2027. We knew each other before coming here to Cerealia, even!
voice;
Date: 2015-06-16 10:36 am (UTC)[ Somehow that's the first thought that pops to Ryuko's head. ]
voice; [1/2]
Date: 2015-06-16 10:42 am (UTC)[she barked back at Ryuko. SHOCKED!!]
S-shut up! She's seen nothing!
voice;
Date: 2015-06-16 10:42 am (UTC)[SLIGHT PAUSE]
...and even IF she had, who cares?! She'd never blow my cover! I trust Athena!
voice;
Date: 2015-06-16 10:48 am (UTC)[ Like that one time she blurted out Yata having a crush on Saya, yes... that ship literally went down. ]
But I'm her best friend. Does that mean you don't trust me?
voice;
Date: 2015-06-16 10:54 am (UTC)[no elaboration on that]
--Anyway, if you want to move up on my trust-o-meter, you could start by providing a few more stories for me! Well? Howabout it?
voice;
Date: 2015-06-16 11:01 am (UTC)... [ Look, she IS kind of curious to see what's underneath the box. ]
I'll bite, but no promises. What kinda story ya after?
voice;
Date: 2015-06-16 11:12 am (UTC)Also, if you see any fights occurring in public places, maybe started by that Nui-woman. That'd also be pretty newsworthy!
Any other crimes or accidents, too. Did you check my recent edition? Sss, sss, sss!
voice;
Date: 2015-06-16 11:21 am (UTC)[ And the less said about Harime the better. ]

Date: 2015-06-22 09:13 am (UTC)[ball's in your court, Ryuko!]
Anyway, okay by me! You back to rooming with Athena, or you got another secret undisclosed location you'd like to meet?
