Puzzle 032

[726 Anderson Lane.]

[Ever since he came back from that strange carnival world, Luke's been unable to shake his depression. For a while he was fully prepared to give up, let the town do whatever it wants, and try to deal with the consequences the best he could. It was the easiest option after all, to just accept that one day the town will take away the people you care about.

But...

But he didn't want to give up. Not yet. People have been trying to help him the day he came back from the carnival world, and he'd been too sad to realize it. And even though some days it all came rushing back to him, all that sadness, today he felt a little stronger. He had to do something. Anything.

And after he pays a visit to the memorial he made for Edward Nigma, in the yard of 726 Anderson Lane, an idea comes to him. He knew what he needed to try next.]


...I think I've got it! 

[Phone.]


Has anyone thought about making a self-published newspaper before? Not like the one that gets delivered in the mornings, I mean a paper that's made and delivered by all of us. We could use it for um, important news that we happen to come across in town.

[Which is Luke's way of saying that it'd be a good idea to use it to get Mayfield clues out there to other people.]


And it doesn't have to be strictly news either! The papers we get already have cartoons, advice columns, puzzles - we could have those too! I'll be in charge of the puzzle section of course. I know for a fact that I could come up with better puzzles then the ones they put in the paper already. I mean, a five-year-old could solve some of...

[Wait he's getting off-topic.]


So um, what do you all think? I'd rather read a newspaper that's made by us, to be honest. I don't have the tools to publish one myself, but I think if we work together we can put together something worth reading! 

[ooc: This is the IC post for the self-published newspaper idea. I'd still love to hear some input!]

Excellent. Now if you could get the groceries for me whenever you're done getting whatever it is you've got, I'd appreciate it.

Oh! I wanna do an advice column!

[personal profile] crazyclownwoman 2012-08-10 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! It can be one of those dear Judy or Mindy or Wendy things. Only Dear Harley! Or should I use a fake name?

I'm doing the advice column and if you say no I'm giving you a fucking Indian burn.

Hello, Luke!

[Riza sounds happy to hear Luke sounding happy...well, happier, anyway.]

A small publication might be a good idea. We may well even release something at the start of the month, when newcomers first arrive, with information about the town? I would imagine that if we hide it between other information inside of the paper, it wouldn't be caught by the drones and would be monumentally helpful.

I think it's a wonderful idea!

I'm not a writer myself, but I'd be happy to help distribute the paper once you figure out how to get it printed. I'm tired of reading the drone crap, anyway.

Mine will be, like, a fucking million trillion times better!

[personal profile] crazyclownwoman 2012-08-10 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome! I'll think up a great one!




What about .....

[Thinking....hey!]

Thalia!

I have a printer you could make copies with, if you don't find anything better to use... but I'll have to be the editor in that case! ♪

[Gotta make sure no one tarnishes her good name in this paper.

Miku's, on the other hand... ]

[Well, if it's going to suck being here one way or another...]

I'm not very good at writing for papers -- actually, I've never done that before -- but I can help distributing, if you need a hand for that. I can try to gather information, too.

[Not looking forward to talking to his "dad," but people gather good information from working at bars, right?]

Are you leaving notes in the post? Try not to give yourself writer's cramp.

No problem -- I'm looking forward to it. Just call me up -- er, Margot Sullivan, that is -- when it's ready and I'll be there.

I'll watch out! I don't want them coming after you guys, either.

Anyway, I think your writers will have plenty to write about, but there's gotta be folks who're scared of putting their names out. I know someone who works at a bar, so I'll ask if he can chip in, too.

Yeah, yeah, I can easily do that! Just leave it to me! ♪
