NEWS POST: Airing on a local channel at 6:30am.

[latveria]

[Good morning, City! Welcome to another episode of the Early Show! Settle in, grab your coffee and prepare to tune most of the fluff pieces out. There's nothing super remarkable about this particular broadcast, but people paying attention might notice this tacked onto the business section.]

( And lastly, we're joined by Tom Tucker of the City's weekly news with a special report on Import businesses. In particular, the formation of a new venture and the potential it has to help the community in the wake of its recent tragedy... Tom? )

[nitidus]

[She has been here a while; aquainting herself with public posts and then posts stored in the archives. She is disconcerted, but not put out. It is a surreal thing, to be here. It is more bizzare still to discover this is not her first time. Her memory must be failing her. Or time shenanigans are afoot. She isn't one to put all her eggs into one basket, but the latter is far more likely. She is quite certain she would remember being in a city like this.

Rose often thinks there will come a day that shenanigans will become tiresome. Today is not that day! She is opting for text: it is terribly predictable. Rose is feeling very predictable today. Sometimes being predictable is just a logical step to take, after all. It wouldn't do to do something outlandish and not be recognized.

Rose's pranksters gambit is, today, sadly lagging behind in last place. Priorities and the such, must be taken care of first:]

03 | video -> text

[The video clicks on briefly from Vriska fiddling with the buttons, trying to remember how everything works. Blank, white eyes are staring down at it. In fact her whole face is pretty blank until she scowls in annoyance.]

Seriously?

[The feed shuts off abruptly, replaced by text:]

two: video

[bumbumbum]

[The video clicks on to a very swanky apartment. It is furbished, and Klarion is sitting cross-legged on a bed that he would never be able to afford. Teekl is sitting next to him, getting orange cat fur aaaaaall over the white sheets. Klarion either doesn't notice or doesn't care.]

So what do you think? As convenient as the MAC is, the rooms are too small! What if I wanted to have a sleepover? I've never had one of those before, and you need a bigger room for that. Besides, Teekl needs more room to roam. I'm sure he can find rats to eat in the gutter near the building-he found more than enough when I lived in that hideous apartment complex.

[Teekl meows and sheds more on the bed.]

As for the price, I already have an idea plotted out. I plan on persuading the owner of this building to lower the rent to something small-or probably, to make it nonexistent!

[There's an intonation that sounds very dangerous. 'Persuading' AKA MAGIC BRAINWASHING. 8D Paragon of magical morals, right here.]

So, I will probably take this place. That is, unless someone can suggest something better.

[There's an expectant pause, as if he totally wants to hear people's suggestions.]
