for the journalism inclined? | un: royals_fan | text

[apricitous]

Hello all.

I've been settling in, the same as I'm sure many of you have, but while I've taken a position to pay the bills, I've noticed a distinct lack of my previous vocation:

I was a reporter, and while I won't say I was the best one in the business where I come from, I would say that I truly believe in the power and importance of the free press. Now, I'm currently down in Wyver at the moment, but I do have an associate, the real head of this operation, who's been working on this problem from up in Olympia.

Neither of us have necessarily worked in the management of a publication before, so we're happy to sit back a little if someone with the experience would like to step forward, but we're also looking for people who are interested in working in journalism from any direction: bloggers, photographers, or the more investigation inclined.

You can ping me here and we can discuss it or we can meet up somewhere in the city as is easiest for you. I'm pretty mobile and more than flexible.

Thank you.

Not so much 'bothers' as it is a pain in the butt.

But if you find a way to make 'em interesting, I'll probably stay awake. I suggest alcohol, if you do go that route.

[ Booze makes everything 100% more interesting. ]

I DO actually have some extra moonshine from a Christmas present. Would you be interested in taking a bottle or two?

[catfident]

[ Damn, is he on top of things. There's a noticeable pause, Yoruichi surprised by the sudden offer, before the rhythm resumes. ]

Keep it. I like milk better anyway.

If you really want to do something nice, buy me dinner instead.

[ Not even trying to flirt, she's just #poor. ]

[apricitous]

I'd be willing to make you dinner, if you like. I'm a pretty good cook.

[catfident]

[ Whoa, even better. ]

You write, you manage, you help little old ladies across the street, and now you say you can cook?
Is there anything you can't do?

[apricitous]

I've been told I have a pretty awful right hook.

[catfident]

Are you going to follow that up by saying you have a great left hook?

[ She doesn't give him time to answer, moving right on ahead. ]

But sure, I'll take you up on dinner. Unless you've got some girlfriend at home that'll get angry?

[apricitous]

I have a roommate who prides herself on being grumpy. And she's made it clear I'm welcome to have guests.

And no, I'm not. It might actually be worse than the right one.

[catfident]

Grumpy huh? You must be the perfect roommate for her then.

But alright, whenever you feel like cooking for more than two. I'll be right on over.

[apricitous]

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but we do get along just fine.

All right then. How about *date and time*? That work for you?

[ ooc: shall I make a starter? ]

[catfident]

[ ooc: A starter would be fabulous! ]

Works for me. Whatever you're making better be good.

[apricitous]

I was thinking a fish dish, some vegetables, maybe a pie for dessert?
How's that sound?

[catfident]

Sounds like you're a mind reader.

[ She'll feast for days. Or at the very least, a single day. But maybe she ought to get back on the subject at hand. ]

I'll keep the job stuff in mind. Are you planning on officially starting everything at some point?

[apricitous]

Once I've got an idea of what I've got to work with, I'll talk to my partner and we'll figure out what we want to do. I'll keep you posted.

[catfident]

Your partner not a very chatty guy?

[apricitous]

He was actually pretty chatty when I spoke to him.

[catfident]

[ She'll take his word for it then. ]

Can't wait to meet him.

Let me know how things go. I'll be around.

[apricitous]

I'll see you at dinner then.
