News Reporter Try-Outs !

[Varnava Delacroix]

So, we need epic people who can write 'newspaper' articles. It'd be nice if you had experience with this (like school newspapers and the like) or if you are just an awesome writer. You can choose which of your characters you want to be the 'news reporter' (can't be part of Team Rocket), and we'll see if you have what it takes to be one. With the News Reporter job, you will be able to stalk any and all in character threads, trying to find the perfect story. When you find one, stalk it until the very end (if it ever does end) before writing up an article and posting it in this sub-board.

Use the code below to try-out. We need three reporters!

BREAK IN AT KANTO POKÉMON LAB

Why does one break in to steal something that is free?

The famed Oak Pokémon Research Laboratory of Kanto was robbed this past weekend. Located in the quiet town of Pallet, this came as shocking news to many. “I just don’t get it,” one assistant was quoted as saying, “The Pokémon here are free to good trainers beginning their journeys anyways. We make sure they go to good, responsible people, but this still doesn’t make any sense. If we’ve turned anyone down in the past when they’ve applied for their first Pokémon, it’s been for a reason. Seeing what’s happened now… We’ve definitely had good reasons when we’ve denied requests.”

Sometime Saturday night, a window was broken on the east side of the building through which it is assumed the perpetrator entered. There were no assistants on duty, and the stolen Pokémon were being stored in their respective pokéballs, locked in a cabinet on one side of the room, separate from the rest of the lab’s Pokémon. The cabinet was found knocked over, with the lock cleanly cut.

“The fact that the cabinet containing the pokeballs with the stolen Pokémon inside was the only thing disturbed is unusual,” Officer Jenny of the Pallet Town Police Department said on record, “It means that whoever did this knew what was in here, and knew what to look for. Either they had been in the place and knew the layout and where these specific Pokémon were stored at night, or they knew someone on the inside.”

On Sunday morning, the theft was discovered when one of the lab interns was preparing breakfast for the Pokémon of the lab. It is unsure yet as to when exactly the crime occurred during the night, only that the Pokémon were gone the next morning by 6:30 am.

No arrests have been made, and the police do not yet have any suspects. However, they have questioned employees, trying to discover if there was any strange activity leading up to the robbery. So far, nothing has turned up in the investigation, and the stolen Pokémon are thought to be gone for good.

The intern who discovered the theft seems to be particularly shaken up by the events.

“This really is something awful,” he said during an interview, “I’d come to know each of those Pokémon as individuals. We played together, I took care of them a lot, and we really bonded. I was excited for the day when they would each get their own trainers, yanno? Kinda like how a parent is excited for the day when their kids start school… but now… they’re gone, and the police don’t think we’ll be getting them back.”

Wherever these Pokémon are now, one has to wonder what fate awaits them in the hands of criminals.
