Balamb Newsletter, Issue I (Spring Quarter)

[wrnpcs]

[Come Wednesday morning, as students rise from their beds as usual, they may notice students and SeeDs alike reading a newsletter. It turns out the Garden has just begun releasing a quarterly newsletter, and the first issue is for the Spring quarter already past. Issues are available for free on racks in the Cafeteria!]

I think the newsletter might have misinterpreted some things. Chessy Delacreaux has a pretty healthy imagination.

The newsletter is really unprofessional - at least the 'Around Garden: What's New?' section.

I understand that it's important to let people know what's going on in Balamb Garden, and the Newsletter is a good way to do that, but I don't think something that's supposed to be an official thing - and thus affiliated with SeeD - should be in the business of rumor-mongering. Political news about things that are happening in Galbadia and Esthar are important to us as SeeDs, and it's good to hear things about the off-worlders and things like that. But the only one of those that comes off as being written with any sort of journalistic integrity or even standards is the one written by miss Helena Oster.

However, my biggest problem comes from miss Chessy Delacreaux's article - if you can call it that. All it is is gossip and tidbits that makes SeeD look more like ... some sort of club rather than a mercenary organization. We're all training to be professionals here; why does it need to be written in an OFFICIAL PUBLICATION that Souji was out with some guy? Who cares? Why does it matter? Why is there news in the newsletter about a post on the BBS? That's not news.

And I really don't care what miss Chessy Delacreux's favorite sponsorship is. That, too, isn't news. If we want some sort of paper to spread all sorts of rumors around Balamb Garden, fine. I'll think it's dumb, but that's the place of whoever wants it. But an official newsletter isn't the place to talk about things that may or may not have happened that aren't even newsworthy anyway.

And stop using so many exclamation points. It's tacky, especially in an official Balamb Garden publication.

Retarded sensationalist crap.

[ The tall blond throws the issue over the cafeteria table, after having yanked it from a Cadet's hand. He shoved some people out of the way, making a mental note to add Delacreaux to the List - a growing one. He hoped the new Disciplinary Committee members were taking himself as an example. No more smiley, good doers. The Disciplinary Committee had a reputation to maintain. ]

[BBS video post] Fight Club Meeting Times

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone! Judging by when everyone who responded was free, I've decided to have meetings on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 17:30. Like I posted before, they will be in a special cleared off area of the training center. Not sure exactly how long the meetings are going to last, and I suppose it depends on what mood everyone's in. So for now, I'll say they'll be at least half an hour and no more than two hours, so everybody can get back to their dorms and have a shower before dinner.

Then there's time for getting homework done, and we've all got our weekends clear.

For the first meeting, please be prepared to talk about your preferred fighting style a little before the sparring matches start.

Also! The club is totally open to SeeDs, whether you want to practice and spar or offer pointers to less experienced people, we'd be happy to have you here with us.

[Dweia is heading off to the medical office to see Doctor Kadowaki about the apprenticeship, feel free to bump into her and talk to her. She's semi distracted by a book she's reading but if she's learned from last time it's to make sure she doesn't literally bump into anyone.]

Handy Explanations [BBS]

Alright, since people keep looking at us funny when we use the computers, here's a handy explanation as to why some people in Garden like sticking cables in their ear. (Don't try that at home, kids! We're professionals!)
