The Power of the Press
Who: Pete and you!
What: Catch all for August. Also, tabloids.
Where: See prompts!
When: August 5th - August 18th
Warnings: None right now! Will match format!
A is for Animal Kingdom (August 5th - August 10th)
[To be quite honest, Pete hasn't exactly been enjoying his work as security. Ever since he tried beating up that blonde kid (whatever his name was), the higher ups have been keeping a closer eye on him. Never mind the fact that he was not on duty at the time, nor had he even realized that he had been assigned a job in the first place.
So he can't go around just beating up people without reason. And, unfortunately, they don't count "being too nice" a reason to sock people in the jaw. It's killing him that he can't even do what he was supposed to do--but, hey, at least he can still insult people if it suits him. But all that pent up anger means that Pete is dying to leap on anyone that even remotely looks like they're committing a crime, so you might be confronted by a large cat with a smile a bit too wide.]
And what do you think you're doin'?
B is for...uh...Bad Ideas All Over Progress City (August 11th - August 18th)
[Since they started distributing those cellphone things from Ellen's Lab, the gears in Pete's head have been turning. With the introduction of new technology comes new ways to be mean to people, of course. With social media, it's far too easy for misinformation to spread.
Which is exactly what Pete wants. He's busy putting up posters all over town that read:]

*truth is subjective
[If there's anything that Pete loves more than beating people up, it's spreading lies and defaming people. You might catch Pete putting up these posters around town, or maybe you wanna help out in his quest to spread the "truth"? Either way, he's got a whole spiel ready for you.]

How 'bout you decide for me, big man?

There is possibly one thing he could do.]
You know what? Give it here.
[And he tries to grab the frog from out of her hands.]

I'm gonna punt that frog all the way to the Magic Kingdom and add a stain to Cinderella's castle.
[Just. Gonna say it outright. He doesn't even care anymore that she's trying to do a crime.]
no subject
Well, I reckon if you can actually do that, that'd be pretty wicked, but you're also pretty old... I'm gonna try out that whole "trusting people" thing and see what happens. [which is definitely not what anyone meant by that but okay.
she holds out the frog, which is probably trying to defense-pee at this very moment.]
