1 🕷 TEXT

( it's taken him awhile to build up the courage for this one. he wants to make this idea happen, yet a part of him wonders if he's the right guy for the job. without Clark he'd floundered a little, yet the need for a stable medium for sharing information remains, so here he is.

he waffled over voice, video, and text. in the end, he goes for text, because it makes him seem less nervous. maybe. though anyone that's texted him before might notice the difference — all the capital letters and punctuation, for example. lazy texting doesn't work when you're trying to convince people you want to put together a newspaper. )

Hey. Hello. I'm Peter, and I was thinking...

So back home, I worked at a newspaper. Not The New York Times or anything, but a paper, and it feels like we could use something like that here. Stories about what is going on in Olympia, or Thesa, or anywhere that people might need to know about. Classifieds, updates, tips for finding work and accommodations, sharing... anything and everything, really, because we're all starting over, here, and we've got to help each other.

I've got lots of ideas. Maybe you've got some, too. Either way, I can't do this by myself. If you have experience in journalism, or just writing, and you want to help out, then let me know.

I can't pay you. Gotta be upfront about that. But maybe that'll change? I dunno. Money or not, it'd help a lot of people. If that's worth it to you, then let me know if you're interested, and what you'd like to do. Questions, too, I guess, though I can't answer everything yet. It's kind of all up in the air until I know who I'm working with.

Yeah. That's it. Thanks for your time.

( ...okay, not a #nailedit, but... it could have been worse??? )

sound logic. absolutely makes sense, dunno why the police force back home never tried this

( is he being sarcastic? Is he finally catching on to the joke?? impossible to tell for sure, but probably a mix of both. )

cause police are goddamn stupid that's why those idiots are too busy getting their wallets stuffed to take down the REAL fucking crooks.

[webdesigned]

is that what the force was like back home for you?

[kissintime]

let's just say the force fucked me over hard and i never even got a damn t-shirt

that sucks, man, im sorry.

( he's not exactly the biggest fan of police either, hence the vigilante thing. still he was lucky enough to not see completely corrupt cops, just more or less inefficient ones. )

it's cool. i did what had to be done to make things right on my own.

anyway what were we talking about? advice columns, right? i hear your concerns and it's your paper so fine no crime advice. how about we do like "good law enforcement" advice instead?

[webdesigned]

believe it or not, i kinda know what that feels like

& i think good law enforcement advice is totally doable. we have a few people on the guard so youd have an audience, too.

[kissintime]

man i can believe like ANYTHING cause the most bizarre ass bullshit seems to always be true!

and sweet. winning idea! guess im gonna be giving some professional ass advice given my credentials.

[webdesigned]

all right, thats the attitude we need. we are professionals now. we may only have a 10% idea what we are doing but, yeah! PROFESSIONAL
