This means that congratulations are in order, I assume?

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

You would assume correctly.

[deus-ibi-est.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, then!

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

Thank you, my friend.

[deus-ibi-est.livejournal.com]

As always, you are welcome.

How have you been, apart from this?

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

Extremely busy. I'm on the hunt for a new assistant, and a new editor for my paper.

And yourself, Herr Wagner?

[deus-ibi-est.livejournal.com]

Very well, thank you. I've just returned from a trip to Germany, and I suspect I'll soon be teaching the children the fine art of swordfighting.

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

Still at the School, then, I assume?

[deus-ibi-est.livejournal.com]

Yes, on and off. It is very rewarding, at least.

[guarddevil.livejournal.com]

Nice work.

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I snagged it away from Rupert Murdoch.

[guarddevil.livejournal.com]

Damn, that's impressive. What will you work on buying next?

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

Subsidiaries of subsidiaries, I assume. Right now I'd like to bring a little honesty back to journalism; so the first order of business is hiring an editor in chief and good reporters.

[guarddevil.livejournal.com]

Good luck. I'm sure you'll find a few honest journalists somewhere.

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

And lawyers, if you ever decide that working for yourself is too boring.

[guarddevil.livejournal.com]

It's working out so far, but I'll keep that in mind.

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

You seem happy. Well, happier.

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, Mr. Worthington. Very impressive.

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Miss Potts. I couldn't let Rupert Murdock get his hands on it. Know any good editors?

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I do not, but if I do, I'll definitely pass them along your way.

How've you been?

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

A recommendation from you is good as gold.

Better, thanks.


ooc: Very casually, I would think, through association with friends of friends. Or, I have no problem with Warren being a friend of Pepper. :)

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

So people keep telling me.

I'm glad to hear it, you've had a lot on your plate lately... so exactly why have you decided to get into journalism now?

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

It's true.

I think that my recent escapades can almost speak for themselves as an answer to that. The world reacted extremely to one small news stories about one man being different. There ought to be more of a focus on hard, honest stories than the media blitz that I've been living under.

So I own a paper. Now I need to staff it.

ooc: Friends? Pepper needs more billionaire playboys in her life. >.>

[only-pepper.livejournal.com]

So true, Warren, so true.

I'm really trying to think now if I know anyone that needs a job.....actually, you know what, love, I think I might know someone. I'll have to ask her, don't let me forget, okay?

Didn't the merger come with staff?

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

Touche, Pepper.

I won't. Do you think spamming your email would be an effective way to not let you forget? Or perhaps buzzing the office window at pre-arranged times when the press is looking the other way.

It did, but they were being run on a skeletal crew. I need a competent editor, already sacked the last one, and a few reporters. Everyone else keeps their jobs.

ooc: Splendid!
