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.

What is this, fucking middle school?

[mfes]

Now why would I do that? It's gonna be way more exciting than a tabloid.

[ james. griffin. are you KIDDING HER RIGHT NOW, ]

we need to talk

[notbornguilty]

Just so long as it isn't sensationalist I'll be fine.

[onebetter]

I'd say??

Where are you?

[mfes]

I mean, you're not wrong. There are middle schoolers on campus.

Well...welcome to the school.

I've been wondering why we don't have a school paper, honestly. Seems like a no brainer.

[mfes]

Oh, please. Sacrificing accuracy for excitement's all old school.

Why can't we have both?

[mfes]

In my dorm.

See? You get it.

Feel like giving it a shot?

[ And that's all she gets because James is dashing over there. What the fuck. What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck. Lance was one thing but Nadia? He half expects her to be a fae trick, just a mirage, just... WHY is she here??

The knocking at her door happens in record speed. James may be slightly out of breath. ]

[marmoron]

since when were you a candle?

Well, it does sound like something useful to have.

[ nadia opens her door immediately and...

holy shit. holy shit. it's her best friend whom she hasn't heard from in at least a month. this explains so much.

she holds out her hand in front of him, as if to silence him. ]

Wait wait wait, don't tell me -- you're a Candle, you've known about magic since you were born, and you've been lying to all your friends about where you're going for college because you're bound by the Secrecy clause.

I'm unclear as to the purpose of such an endeavour.

[mfes]

Wait

Keith?

WHAT

[mfes]

Thank you!!! Finally, someone who gets it!

Interested in joining the team?

[ He opens his mouth. He closes his mouth. He stares at her, because this is entirely too much, and in a weird way it's just making him angry that the world keeps playing these kinds of tricks on him.

Maneuvering past her hand, he simply lets himself into her room. ]

Exactly that. Just like Lance Alvarez, did you know that? And like you, huh?

[transfusionem]

Honestly, I don't think I'd be any good at it.

What exactly are you looking for? People to write articles?

[mfes]

You don't think it'd be nice to be kept in the know about all the important stuff going on? And I'm not just talking about Nightfall stuff, either.

[mfes]

[ nailed it. ]

Wait, Lance?! Are you -- [ god. god!! james, lance, keith... ina and ryan are gonna show up, too. she's calling it right now. ] no, you're not joking. And yep, pretty much.

[ he's angry, and she knows it. nadia liked to think she knew james well; now, she's not so sure. ]

Look, I'd say sorry for not telling you sooner, but I'm not sorry at all, because you know how it goes. You get it.

[mfes]

Yeah, mostly. Or graphic designers, photographers... I dunno, anything you'd typically do for a school paper, really. I'm a one-woman army here, so any help would be awesome.
