You know what you guys are missing? A school paper.

You'd think that with how ~rich~ and ~prestigious~ this school is, there'd at least be some sort of tabloid keeping us newcomers in the know about what's happening here.

So you know what? I'm gonna start one. Name's Nadia Rizavi, and I'm a brand spankin' new Candle from Arizona. Anyone else wants in, hit me up. Now accepting applications, AKA give me an elevator pitch on something you can offer to my new pet project! If I'm impressed, you're in. If not, well, sorry, be less boring!!!

Now let's get this thing started.

A glowing what?!

[ yooooo!!! ]

Alright, you guys are officially taking me to the Outlands, because I want one.

[onebetter]

[ Suddenly grinning. ]

The little guy teleports.

No idea of his species or where there's more though, he was an orphan baby.

[mfes]

Dang, that's pretty awesome. You think Keith's gonna let me meet the little guy?

[onebetter]

Oh, definitely. Pretty hard not to meet him, too. Cosmo loves making new friends. He's a darling, really.

[ He may be embarrassed about his boyfriend, but he is not at all embarrassed about loving his boyfriend's dog. ]

Though I should move on to the second shocking thing, right? I don't trust the people running this school.

[mfes]

[ she's pretty excited about cosmo, but that second point gets nadia to really stop. ]

Okay, they must be really bad if you're saying that.

[onebetter]

I'm not sure how bad or not it is. But I do want to find out. The way information is dispensed here is... lacking, to say the least. A lot of the students are skeptical about it.

I want to find out the truth. Don't actually tell that to anyone, it's a down-low thing. I trust you.

[ And he does. He wanted to trust her so long in their friendship, but there have always been reasons he couldn't. They'd both been lying, been forced to lie. Now this can finally end. ]

[mfes]

I knew starting a paper was a good idea!

[ nadia...please. ]

Secret's safe with me. You want me to keep you and Keith a secret too?

[ nadia definitely gossips, but when it comes to her james? she's really good at keeping their secrets. especially james'. ]

[onebetter]

It's not a secret on campus, don't mind that. I'd appreciate no texting home about it though. I'll do it on my own terms.

[ Whenever he has worked out what those terms actually are supposed to be. That's a can of worms he has to figure out before going back to Arizona for his birthday next month.... Ugh. ]

And faculty's gonna read that paper, you know that, right?

[mfes]

Yeah, sure. I'll keep it under wraps.

[ because hoooooo boy. not only is it something james should do on his own, but nadia doesn't want people asking her about him. she wouldn't be able to explain how they kept in touch, really. ]

And of course I know that! I'm keeping it PG because there are literal kids on campus.

[onebetter]

Oh my god. Nadia, that's not what I mean.

[ HE DIDN'T THINK SHE'D BE PUTTING PORN RUMORS IN THERE, BUT NOW HE'S FORCED TO THINK ABOUT IT..... ]

I was talking about the research on authorities...
