re: second: video
[broadcasting live from a different comm, here in Clark mode. YES IT IS A LEGITIMATE DISGUISE HE CHANGES HIS VOICE AND HOLDS HIMSELF DIFFERENTLY. :'| (I would appreciate if folks who know him to not publically out him as Supes if you could? THANK YOU)
anywho, Clark pushes his glasses up on his nose and clears his throat before starting, shifting in his seat.]
Good afternoon, everyone. My name's Clark Kent, and I'm a recent addition to this, ah...dimension. [quirking his eyebrows a bit, shrugging.] This kind of stuff usually happens to superheroes, so I'm still trying to get my bearings.
That said...I've been trying to restore a bit of normalcy for sanity's sake, because as much as I appreciate the weekly funds, I'd like to have a bit more to my name. A bit that I actually earn, at that. I've gotten hold of a handful of the City-based news and magazine publishers within the past couple weeks, and, well...All this time this odd machine's been zapping folks in, and the most coverage I've seen get covered about those of you stuck here? It's just been disasters.
Now, I know that diaster sells, but I really don't think it's fair to any of you that it's really the only facet of coverage the public gets. Paints a pretty blurry image, don't you think?
[pausing, scratching at the back of his neck and glancing thoughtfully offscreen a moment.]
So, anyway, there's a point to all this, and I'm not just talking your ears off for fun. After talking with a few editors, I've gotten myself a position as a web-contributor for the [newspaper name!]. My column is going to be specialized into something called "ImPort Affairs"--Apparently the AP uses that word officially for you guys. My job, in a nutshell, is to get your side. Not to support or defame, just to get facts. More than disasters, more than powers.
I think it'll do the community good to read something that they can connect with; I have no doubt you all have lives outside of crime-fighting--or crime-causing, as it were. [ahem.] So, if you'd be willing to oblige, I'd like to approach as many as I can and share your stories with the public. As much as you're willing.
Ideally, this kind of work is something I'd like to have at least three or four months to gather stories and compile it all into one feature, but considering the, uh...unstable nature of our stay here? I may not get that opportunity. It has me a bit rushed to get right to it, but I don't think it's fair to anyone to simply zip through a story and shortchange anyone.
[another pause, giving a self-conscious chuckle.]
So, that's about it! Sorry for talking your ears off, but I wanted to throw that out there ahead of time. Most folks are pretty suspicious of reporters nowadays, and I'd bet it's no different here. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute something overall positive to this place before I get zapped back. If I get zapped back, that is...
