May 07 22:54:21 <Knave>	Austin swaggers into the front room of Alphard Hall and slides up to the nearest desk, leaning an elbow on it. He smiles, "Excuse me, I'm writing an article for the school paper," He taps at the scrap of paper in the breast pocket of his green blazer, reading "PRESS" in sharpie, "And I was wondering if there was anyone around who'd be willing to give me a statement on the rumours surrounding one Callum Ellis?"
May 07 22:59:13 <LipstickThespian>	The man at the desk glanced up at him and then to the press badge, a smile on his face. "I heard they were starting a school paper.  Sure, once second.  After a quick phone call, and a 'you should come to the lobby.' A woman appeared from the staircase and walked over.  "Hi, were you the student who wanted to speak to me?"  She was thin, with short black hair, and a staff namebadge that said her name was 'Mandate'.
May 07 23:01:01 <Knave>	With a nod of thanks to the receptionist, Austin slides off and up to the woman, turning on the Silver charm and extending a hand to shake. "Howdy. Austin Silver, ace reporter."
May 07 23:05:19 <LipstickThespian>	"Oh ya, the school newspaper."  Pomeline takes his hand in a very firm shake before dropping it back to her side.
May 07 23:06:30 <Knave>	He produces a notepad and a pen from opposite pockets and flips to a new page, pen poised to write, "Just hoping to get your word on the rumours currently surrounding one Callum Ellis, nicest guy in the world turned juvenile delinquent."
May 07 23:07:49 <LipstickThespian>	"We don't discuss disciplinary action of students." Pomeline says plainly, "we're investigating."
May 07 23:09:01 <Knave>	"So you /are/ disciplining him?" Austin says amicably, as if he's just seeking clarification, the weasel.
May 07 23:18:00 <LipstickThespian>	"Safety of our students is our top priority.  As such, students who break the rules and put others at harm are monitored more actively."
May 07 23:20:52 <Knave>	"Of course." He says with a flattering smile, then looks down at his pad, "I'll put that down as a yes." He clears his throat gently and returns his soft smile to the woman, "And how would you respond to the claim some students have made that it's actually more absurd to assume Callum Ellis broke the rules rather than assume he's being framed by a shapeshifter?"
May 07 23:22:31 <LipstickThespian>	"I'd say that's up to Mr. Ellis to debunk. We've provided him with all the tools needed to prove his innocence.  Challenging as that may be." Pomeline seems to be having fun with this, playing the PR rep.
May 07 23:24:51 <Knave>	"Up to Mr. Ellis..." Austin repeats to himself quietly as he scribbles it down. It's hard to keep the smile subdued while he looks down at his notes. Then he snaps his cheerful gaze back up at the woman, "Well, I won't take up any more of your time. What name is it that you'd like me to quote you under?"
May 07 23:30:19 <LipstickThespian>	"Oh that name?  Just put it as 'Sanctum Staff Member.'  That should do just nicely."  Pomeline says with a nod, "we're always more than willing to asisst the school newspaper in creating an active learning space and interactive enviournment for our students.  Especially students like Mr. Ellis, who are trying to use their detective skills and the school's camera footage to find out the
May 07 23:30:19 <LipstickThespian>	answer to this mystery.  Really, self starting students inspire us. Just like you."  She smiles and turns to walk away, that's enough breadcrumbs for the pidgeons.
May 07 23:31:18 <Knave>	Austin tosses the pen up and catches it, then pockets his sword and shield. The warrior of the truth leaves the building triumphant.
