genessia | 2nd Headline: The Bunbunmaru Opens! [Video]

The flickering of the video coming to life revealed Aya standing outside of a small building with the only a large image of a red notebook with black bird wings coming out the back of the book being it's only detail. The tengu walked over to the side a bit to gesture lightly at the video camera.

"Ahem....Greetings residents and various individuals of Genessia! I am Aya Shameimaru and I bring you great news. I have decided to start up The Bunbunmaru news here and am offering its wonderful and life-changing newspaper services to you all today! And every day after."

A flourish of her hands during the speech is aimed to direct attention to the building behind her.
"My business will be conducted mostly here, although I may be out often to conduct interviews and get information with which I can spread to all of you. If any of you have anything interesting you'd want to get out to people, set up an appointment with me and we can see about adding it to my papers."

The movement of those strange, awkward-to-move-in geta, leads Aya to walk over the camera and pick it up, turning the camera to give a better, closer view of the journalist extraordinaire (self-titled).

"I am looking for help by the way. Perhaps a few people who would be interested in gathering scoops for my papers and maybe someone who would like to work on a cultural corner of this world? Heavens knows I don't know much about all the new technology like this phone. I'm sure there would be others like me too. Getting people who can pool that all together and perhaps do explanations or announce events like holidays or festivals would help."

A pause.

"Anyways, I hope to have you all as valued customers and avid readers of my newspaper. I only offer the truth and seek only the truth!" Plus some embelishment to establish excitement, but still the truth is the truth.

Another pause.

"...And I promise my papers will not be delivered via dangerous projectiles like stones or such."

[Luke is holding the weekly issue of the Genessia paper, frowning. He's clearly already at his own shop for the day; a kettle is whistling quietly in the background. The boy ignores it.]

I've fixed the window in my flat whole bunch of times already.

"Hmm...yeah I hear about that a lot honestly. It...kind of makes sense in letting people know it's there, but...really? A rock through the window? They should at least pay for that."

Aya's sitting inside the building now, showing a quaint, Japanese-style interior with some very old-fashioned printing presses in the background. The winged girl is simply sipping some tea that's at her side.

"As I said though, I certainly would not employ anyone seeking to break windows. I can do well enough without people coming after me for that sort of issue."

[Seeing as her window was just broken recently...this is a godsend]

Feel free to put the other guy out of business...my wallet just got cleaned out because I had to repair his mistake.

"You'd think they would, but they haven't yet."

Luke sighs. "It's not even a really great newspaper. The weather information is useful, and if you read about the bounties sometimes you get a little bit of an idea of what's going on. Mostly, though, it's not helpful at all."

"I can't reach the top of my window either, so I have to get help every time they go and break it."

"Ayayaya....sounds like you definitely should subscribe to my papers. If you like, when I do the delivery I can even bring it right to your door instead of your window."

Indeed the tengu would be more apt to deliver the mail herself (it's what she did back home after all), but that still would depend on how large Genessia was. It was probably still fine for Aya; being the fastest in the world is certainly no joke.

Well, you shouldn't have to do any repairs with my news service that's for sure! I do plan on keeping delivery civil and not get myself involved with...whatever law enforcement is around this place.

[Aya's uncertain as to what sort of law enforcement is even around, but then again she's only been here for a short time.]

Thats a relief....[She sighs and nods]

I still don't quite get what the point of using a rock to deliver news is. Like...just throwing the paper at the door would work better without a rock.

[She does look quite confused over the matter, but shrugs her shoulders anyway.]

So yeah, if you want to subscribe, just let me...well I guess you kinda already let me know huh? [A slight giggle.] Well just pass me your address and I'll add it to the routes.

You should receive a text soon

[She smiled as she began fiddling with her communicator to send the address]

"What sorts of thing will be in your paper?" He pauses. "Will it be like a normal paper?"

Luke smiles at her. She's kind enough, after all--and no newspapers through his window! That is the best part, at least in his mind. "And I don't need it delivered to my door. The post goes in little boxes in the lobby of the building, I don't mind getting it from there!"

"Well the normal stuff really. What goes on in the world, who's doing what, what's the weather. That kinda thing."

It really is all basic stuff that you'd find in a newspaper too. "I was thinking of maybe a cultural corner for technology and other things that people from elsewhere don't normally see in a place like Genessia. Like...Some people would know what a car is, other people would probably freak out at having a moving thing with no animal attached."
