The Power of the Press

[stinkypete]

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.]

[Truth be told, Snake doesn't like working with Pete either. Especially with situations like this, when he just wants to relax.]

I'm taking my break.

[That clearly makes him exempt of the no smoking rule as he lights up.]

[Plankton's willing to admit he's not exactly Pete's number one fan or anything, but it's hard to dismiss the posters as soon as he sees one regardless. Subjectively reliable journalism sounds right up his alley-- he's already great at taking things other people say and repeating them in a way that makes him look good, how much harder could it be to rewrite it in a way that makes them look bad?

It's easy enough to follow the trail of posters to where Pete is still putting them up, and as soon as he does Plankton sidles up and slams the paper down in front of him (as if he really needs to see it).]

Elaborate.

[Joshua, from where he's been hanging out in this spot with his own tabloid magazine in hand to read, looks up with some amount of curiosity when he spots Pete putting up his posters near him.]

Dare I ask what kind of advertising you're putting up here?
