[Bright and early on the morning of the fifth of January, Cloche's network feed clicks on. The camera bounces with her steps as she walks down the streets of the Pisces Ward with purpose. She doesn't know quite where she's going yet, but she's clearly going somewhere. And she's very clearly furious.]

Good morning. [From Cloche's tone of voice, this is not a good morning. This is a terrible morning. This is a morning that's clearly out to ruin the rest of her day with a trashy gossip magazine.] If anyone else on the COMP Network has received a copy of the January 4th, 10AC issue of--[Here, her expression twists into one of distaste.]--"Teen Beats Magazine," I demand they delete it immediately. It is a lewd and slanderous piece of trash that besmirches the good names of no less than twelve of the Guests!

[Including Cloche herself. Oh, she's going to ring somebody's bell alright. But absolutely not in the way that the article implies.]

As for myself, I'm attempting to locate their offices to demand they take down their-- lascivious article at once. No forms of consent were given. Permission was not granted! They have no legal standing to drag our names through the mud. I absolutely won't stand for it!

[Click! Well, it's pretty obvious someone doesn't have a good sense of humor about being included on the Sexy Visitor Watch... Cloche and her, ahem, two good friends are marching up, in person, to vehemently protest the article and complain loudly to whoever runs the magazine.]

"That is one way of looking at it. Still, if your negotiations don't go well do you have a fall back plan?"

[greatseal]

I definitely don't think you should! Just make sure you're calm while you're taking your revenge. If you're worked up and angry, they'll probably be happy about it.

[because, tsundere fans are probably a bit masochist...]

[fools_journey]

I suppose. Perhaps you could send them a letter?

[video]

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[Blinks a bit stupidly at that. Who was this, Girl Yamato?]

That's a figure of speech, but yeah. Anyway! Does this mean you have clues about where the office is?

[What do you MEAN you can't just randomly search a city for a magazine publisher]

[princessofheart]

That sounds really cute!

[She smiles.]

So you're a famous singer where you come from, I guess?

[tastestherainbow]

Maybe a firmly-worded letter to the editor will make them understand?

[ she doesn't get the point of the list anyway

now if they had been judging sense of style, maybe... ]

[pastalishe]

Oh, no. I am Metafalss' Holy Maiden of Aqua: I normally only sing for official state functions. A more accurate word to describe my position would be "politician."

[pastalishe]

[Sigh.]

I'll make sure to remain calm as soon as I step foot on the premises. It wouldn't be professional to begin negotiations with shouting. [She will not deny that shouting has a high possibility of happening.]

[video]

[pastalishe]

Oh. My apologies, I thought you were speaking literally. [. . .] Well, I have a few ideas as to where to begin searching.

[pastalishe]

Well, so be it! I have the experience to deal with such scrutiny-- I will not be cowed!

[pastalishe]

Things won't get out of hand. I can assure you, I will not raise a hand to strike them-- even though they so rightly deserve it.

Even if they won't listen, I refuse to sit back and accept it!

[second_destiny]

All right. I trust you. But if things go south, call me right away.

Hey, actually, I could go see what laws are on the books. Want me to do that?

[video]

[pastalishe]

... ... I don't have any at this point in time.

[pastalishe]

A letter would not be enough!

video;

[pastalishe]

I feel that a letter would simply be ignored... or used to further continue the spectacle. [The thought of being made fun of in that magazine is absolutely mortifying...]

video;

[tastestherainbow]

Maybe they intended it to be a compliment?

[ oh god now she is imagining getting caught up in this

just another reason never to go outside or show her alien face to anyone ]

...And failed at the delivery?

[travelingtheworlds]

A Reyvateil, huh? [She suddenly grabs a notebook and writes that down.] Are you a special kind of human, or something different?

I guess I can understand that. Your description was kind of crude. Some public recognition here is kind of cool, though.

[Video]

[thelordsage]

A Reyvateil? Pardon my asking, but what is that?

You transform your emotions into power... that is an intriguing ability indeed. Where I come from, there are those who can use a type of magical songs called Galdrar, but it seems to be different from what you use.

[pastalishe]

[Cloche listens to his words as she walks, brow furrowed in thought. There is wisdom in his words. In a way, they remind her of Chancellor Alfman's lessons in dealing with the press-- only this is much kinder.]

It is helpful, Sir Garviel. Thank you for your words.

[pastalishe]

[. . .]

If you have such books on hand, I would not turn down your assistance. I am not as familiar with Hinoto-Ri's laws as I would like.

[Video]

[pastalishe]

I was a human, once--but when I awakened as a Reyvateil, my body changed so it was capable of crafting Song Magic.

I suppose so. But, as far as I'm concerned, an article like that is negative press. It's not how I would choose to portray myself to the media.

[second_destiny]

Well. Not "on hand," but they should be down at city hall. I can get in easily thanks to my job. Shouldn't take too long.

[Video]

[pastalishe]

A Reyvateil is, essentially, a formerly human woman capable of crafting Song Magic. We look human and are capable of having children with humans, but our bodies are different.

Indeed, there are many different kinds of magic in the worlds we call home. Can you describe Galdrar to me?

video;

[pastalishe]

Well, it's not an acceptable compliment. Especially since it was made so publicly!
