"-Mean?" Arel finished, listlessly shoving one pile of papers into another pile of papers to make a rather unimpressive paper pile conglomerate. "We already have a newspaper, two newspapers circulating Amityville. We don't need another one." Not to mention the entire budget thing: while Fright Night had made quite the hefty sum of cash, for some reason, most of the cash had mysteriously disappeared from student booths rather mysteriously. Whatever remained of the profit ended up fixing the poor school grounds from Fright Night, thus making the entire event extremely counter-intuitive and well...
"Look," the gnome, or well sensational gnome columnist Gilly Greenhard persuaded, "This aint a newspaper okay. None of that latest news stuff. We're all about gossip here. This and that. Spreading rumours here, asking questions, getting answers, making things happen."
"I don't see how this helps with-"
"Making things happen."
The office door literally creaked open. The Amityville secretary shifted his attention as a minipet sauntered in, taking residence between two piles of papers on the desk.
"Ah professor," Gilly Greenhard seemed super pleased as he whipped out a haunted pen and spooky notebook, "Care you tell me a little bit about yourself? Mind if I ask a few questions?"
< As long as you keep it brief, I do not mind.> The minipet gave the contract minipet equivalent of a shrug, stretching a bit on Arel's desk only to roll over lazily, much like a cat.
"All right then! First questions first. Now about your..."
Disgusted, Arel retaliated by scooping as many loose papers together into forming a semi-circle fortress. Why him.
What is this?
Hi there! This is Gilly Greenhard! I see you're interested in helping me snoop and investigate during these critical times. Some people think this involves playing it safe but no, I am a hard believe on going straight to the source. Here is my list of identifiable culprits. What you're going to do - ahem, take one of the papers first of course - as fresh newbies in my new to-be sensational Amityville Gossip Column is to go out there and ask questions. Uncover secrets! Debunk myths! Show them the REAL secrets of Amityville.
And remember - don't be shy. If they resist, prod harder. Prod HARD. Only those being secretive have something they are truly hiding! Don't forget to wear this special camouflage paper bag over your head - then noone can tell who you are. Anonymity is key, for yourself I mean.
List of questionable characters:
- Arel (he's hiding something, for sure!)
- Professor QB (don't fall for its charm, it is a sneaky, sly little thing)
- Medea (I once saw her in Amityville just wandering around staring at statues. That horsewoman is up to something...)

SETTING: DEUS EX:
There was a loud blip as the video clip began to roll, followed by a very ghetto countdown sequence and then an equally cheesy opening screen that said something in stretched 3-D letters along the effects of : WHAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT DEUS EX.
Cue piano music, and then a nerdy guy wearing a two-week old T-shirt and oversized pilot goggles on a plush velvet chair. It was the type of nerdy guy one immediately had the reaction to either punch or punch harder, perhaps break all their action figures or watch them get extremely upset when you tell them the spoilers for the latest season of The Big Bang Theory. That guy.
Some people just called him Mark.
Said Death Hunter assistant steepled his hands together. "Excellent." He leaned a little closer to the screen, adjusting it slightly, making the entire supposed camera shake a bit. "If you are watching this, you are now watching the most important live video feed there ever was." Mark turned around. "Hey Jackie Chan, what did you do with the dialogue script? I thought you-"
- "Stop calling me Jackie Chan dumbass" A muffled voice from to the left, or approximately where Mark was looking at.
"I told you we needed the script," Mark whined, putting both hands in his hair. "Oh god oh god, no wait. Stop." It was unsure whether or not he was talking to the camera or to himself. "Don't panic, you can do this, you can do this Mark, what would Clarice do."
Pause. Offscreen the same other voice: "Dumbass"
"Anyway, welcome to a live session of 'What you didn't know about Deus Ex'! My name is Mark the awesome and I am here to debunk all the mysterious mysteries of Deus Ex with answers to your unquenchable questions. Now, some of you, through popular request, have asked me to uncover the myths of others, and I will take the time to unravel those questions as well, but first, let me answer some common questions." He made a grab for several crumpled piles of papers, opening them back up. "First, no, we have not built a time travel machine yet, last time we tried, something strange happened where everything dar-"
- The screen fizzled and faded to black.
What is this?
- Hi is this thing back on? Oh well, if you're watching this it probably means you are watching this, or something. Stupid video camera, I told Dwight that you need to change the AV jack first, not the stupid feed, god I just - okay, well, anyway *cough* Let me start with the basics. First of all this is a secret video channel okay. Don't invite your weirdo friends. Hot babes are allowed. Like, you know, real hot. Like Clarice hot or something.
Okay, secondly, as said, this is where your weird questions go. No don't ask me about Runic Condoms, oh god why, oh god noooooooo. Secondly, I will do my best if you have a question for others, like even the division leaders or some of the assistants, to spy on them until they give me the answers. Don't worry, I am a trained professional. Don't do this at home kids, asking questions is a violent path that can only lead to destruc-
what? No way man. The Life Division has some sort of death penalty over my head, and Aria just maybe has a restraining order on me and it wasn't because of her double D boobies that I saw in the washroom, look that was purely on accident okay.
Lastly, play it safe okay. And oh, if you want to donate, just press the little pay button below okay. Look, I'm desperate here. I knocked over some equipment and uh, might have scrambled it and I really could take some hard, cold ca-
