Rumors [Open]

[disdressing]

There's been a sudden swell in criticism of Weiss Schnee in Nova City. Citizens gossip and chat with each other as more and more people hear stories from friends and friends of friends of unconfirmed rumors and unverifiable accusations about Weiss Schnee's behavior.

• Weiss Schnee embezzles company funds to buy designer dresses.

• Schnee Company uses unsafe construction materials and cuts corners on city maintenance. 

• The Welcoming Hologram stopped working for two whole months and no one could be reached to fix it until someone finally broke it! The hologram was fixed, but the person was seized by the Schnee Company and is being held in a hidden cell deep within the facility. 

• Weiss Schnee is a very unpleasant person, they refused to shake hands with me at XX event and then called me a dirty peasant (this, and rumors in their vein, is actually the most common).

Documents have been floating around too - unsourced papers linking Schnee Dust Company with the barrier break. Printed Research Studies showing shocking pictures of Dust having a gross negative impact on the barrier, photos of the ghosts in labs (attributed to belonging inside of Schnee Dust Company) being experimented on. 

The main distributor of the physical media comes branded with a newspaper outlet called Genessia's Integrity, run by one Nagita Shinjirō. The head of the paper has been fielding limited questions from other members of the press, but when the hubbub was finally getting mainstream attention, he held a press conference. 

Video/Action:

Yes, I am Nagita Shinjirō, founder and head reporter of Genessia's Integrity, a paper that's sole purpose is to find the TUMORS OF CORRUPTION within Genessia and TEAR IT OUT WITH MY TEETH. And journalism. 

I am glad that the real truth of this 'Weiss Schnee' is starting to come out. TOO LONG has this DARK ANGEL IN WHITE been gallivanting about in plain sight, pulling the wool over everyone's eyes, bamboozling everyone with her lacey outfits and disgusting wealth, while she plots Genessia's downfall! 

I'll be taking questions, that is, for as long as THE ESTALISHMENT will let me! I know now that I've come out of hiding, its only a matter of time until Weiss Schnee and her like make an attempt to shut me down, just like the courageous Romana Bove, who as far as we know is still being held illegally inside a Schnee dungeon, for the sole crime of trying to make the Shnee Company do the job that we expected it to!!


[ OOC: Psst, it's Nui. Nui's doing this. Nagita is Nui. Nui is Nagita. Nui is the person playing Nagita. Nagita is a personality invented by and played by Nui. Nui's persona. No one besides maybe KLK's know about it though. Or if you can read minds. Before the conference, Nui has been hopping about Nova City, impersonating people and spreading unfounded rumors about Weiss.

EDIT: I goofed and called it the Schnee Dust company before, so I've updated the post to reflect what the Schnee company actually does in Genessia ]

Well, at least you're motivated! [Well, may as well take advantage of this.] At least you truly believe in what you're saying, though I'll need some more details if I'm to agree, and such.

Not that I can't relate to your desire to appeal to the people, if this is such a democratic... 'Election'.

The welcome letter I got briefly touched on Guardians, but as to their nature, and their role, I'm still not entirely in the clear. What role do they serve and what power do they act as? What purpose do they serve, in essence? If they do their job well, does spending a little money on the side really hurt the people so much? What would you prefer Ms.Schnee spend the money you say she's embezzling on?

And it is an 'election', right? That means right now the Guardians are possibly going to be changed?

... And we're not talking about dust as in actual 'dust' from dirt particles, right? It's just a name for something else, right?

Sir, I applaud you're desire for education, but these basic questions are unfortunately beyond the scope of this press conference to address! I suggest you make use of the Network and ask your fellows for this kind of information, or better yet, pick up a copy of Genessia's Integrity, which can provide a better overview of the election information, and the details of the corruption of Weiss Schnee and the Schnee Dust Company!

If you're going to take issue with the supposed corruption of Weiss and her company, would you not be suited to suggest alternatives, then? You call out, but I don't see you suggesting a better system. Is there meant to be something constructive here? Something useful? All I see is a self-published rag designed to tear down one's personal foes and air personal gripes under the airs of being a forum to speak the 'truth'.

You want to raise a mob but what do you want to do with it? Make this city better? How? Tell me that. Tell me something that doesn't involve tearing down a perceived dictator. Tell me what you will do once she is ousted. I don't see you calling for the freedom of her supposed captive. All I see is you using a helpless soul- if she is even real- as the face of your cause, and bitter desires.

Plotting Genessia's downfall? To what end? I know nothing of barriers falling or of dust or of enemies to this world but as someone who lives in it, what does she have to gain from doing such?

Riddle me that, Nagita.

[He's tempted to even ask why focus on a single person in power, and not all of the potential Guardian Candidates... but start small for now.]

Sir, Weiss Schnee is not a Guardian! I don't really have time to waste on someone who doesn't know basic facts!

Next question!

Said the one who claimed he was out to reveal the truth. Would it not be your job to educate those uninformed, then? All I've seen so far is you peddling your Tabloid.

But keep playing your pettiness games then, I doubt you'll get far. I mean, clearly Weiss's got the money to keep you in the dark even if you are right, huh?

Jeez, you conspiracy theory types are all the same.
