HOMELESS FOREVER OH GOD WHY

[spectra]

Really, I appreciate the effort and everything but you really couldn't come up with a more creative username than my name? As much as I like seeing it everywhere like it should be I was thinking of something more subtle. Maybe you could have gone for a pun or something, don't we just love puns around here? (Gag me.)

Anyway I don't actually want my name attached to everything I write because what if I need to do something anonymously, you know like release some vital information that I wouldn't necessarily want tracked back to me because some ghouls just can't handle freedom of speech? It's just responsible journalism to make sure everyone knows some necessary facts about their fellow student bodies but nobody here appreciates my sense of integrity. Maybe I should have two accounts, in fact I think you should get on that right away.

If you want I could write that application for you though, I mean I've only been here a few days and I already know everything there is to know about that ghoul. It was simple really, I mean if monsters don't want me to know about them they should really not leave their diaries in public places like underneath their mattresses.

I know. So unreasonable.

You write for some sort of paper I imagine? I wonder how this headline would sound, "Journalist commits multiple acts of theft and other crimes."

[spectra]

Oh please, I've never stolen anything.

typos x-x

[blessed_demon]

Hacking however is also cause for legal action. If the claims turn out to be falsehoods? You would be liable for slander.

[spectra]

Actually since it's written it would be libel, if anything I reported were untrue, which it isn't.

[blessed_demon]

Also do you consider the situation from the perspective of the person you're writing about?

[spectra]

Why?

[blessed_demon]

Suppose you report on an event that happened to someone in the distant past but they have changed since then. Yet they'll be judged based on their past rather than the person they are now.

Or maybe you report based on just one bad day.

[spectra]

Then they're free to come to me to set the record straight. I always give ghouls a chance to tell their side of the story. Not my fault if they don't take me up on it.

[blessed_demon]

Would you really recant a statement if one of your peers told you that you were wrong?

[spectra]

Well like I said, since everything I write is accurate, it's hardly necessary.

[blessed_demon]

Not entirely given what the girl you're talking to just said as well as your own words. You interpret the truth. I would even stand to believe you interpret it to meet your own view of a person.

[cleo_de_nile]

The answer to that would be no, never.

[blessed_demon]

I assumed that much, I just asked to illustrate a point to her.

[spectra]

Are you still mad that I broke the story about how you dumped everyone's favourite Big Monster On Campus? Really Cleo it's been ages, I'd think you'd be over that by now.

[cleo_de_nile]

No, I'm mad that your lies almost had me breaking up with Deuce.

[spectra]

Not a lie, it was an interpretation of fact. Besides everyone knows he has a thing for Little Miss Deliverance. Sorry, I'm just being truthful.

[cleo_de_nile]

I still say lie.

And I don't see him writing any songs for her lately, so I'm not worried. Nice try, though.

[spectra]

Give it time...
