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.]

Exactly! This guy gets it! [Pete slaps Joshua on the back a little too hard.] You'll be paid, of course, depending on how many articles you write. Can't be havin' people on the books without 'em doing any work, hm?
So, if you wanna prove yourself, you gotta write yourself an article and give it to me. All posts are anonymous, of course, for yer own safety. If I like it, you're in. You answer to me, and me alone, got it?
no subject
Sure, sure. [A pause] At least, when it comes to working for you and your paper. Outside of that, I can't promise anything.
no subject
Of course, of course. [Pete grins harmlessly as possible.] And don't forget to send me that article once you've written it up. I'm expectin' only th' best from you!
[Which is a complete lie.]
no subject
[In fact, he's already set down the tabloid he had been reading and appears to be typing something up on his phone here. He doesn't even look up yet when he speaks again--]
So how much are you considering offering as starting pay for writers anyway?
no subject
[Puts his hands behind his back, grinning way too widely.]
Whatcha thinkin' about writing?
no subject
[And by that it's probably a scathing exposé about him being the worst ex.]
Otherwise, fashion advice is another idea, because lord knows some people need it around here.
