Sunnydale, California. Place of the wierdest occurances ever recorded. I've done my research. This place is just brimming with wild stories of mayhem and disaster. The official story? Gangs on PCP. Um yeah. I had to convince Ryan to come with me, but after a promise of fame and fortune, he finally conceded

*straightens his tie and give her his official smile*

Ah, Miss Morrison was it? How can I help you today?

[ct_char]

*beams a smile at him as she takes a seat*

Mayor Justus, you can call me Carrie.

I was hoping maybe we could help each other out.

[mayor_justus]

*sits back in his chair and looks her over*

And what did you have in mind, Carrie?

[ct_char]

You help me get some decent stories. I'll help you get elected during the election.

*leans forward, flirty smile*

It could be mutually beneficial.

[mayor_justus]

*grins wolfishly at her*

Hmm, a woman after my own heart.

My name wouldn't be mentioned but in the most flattering light in these stories you're looking for, yes? Otherwise you're offer to help me with my campaign could become a difficult job.

[ct_char]

*nods her head*

Oh yes, only the best most flattering stories. I'll report the truth, but I will spin it so there is no way you are the cause, instead you're the solution.

*eyes light up*

Because a vote for Justus, guarantees Justice will be served.

[mayor_justus]

*chuckles*

Nice, keep coming up with slogans like that and I may have to fire my campaign manager and hire you instead.

So Carrie, did you have something in mind for your first story?

[ct_char]

Hmm.

What really happened to the boy that died in the school basement earlier this month?

Don't say kids on drugs.

[mayor_justus]

Officially? Kids on drugs would be my answer. I've got people looking into the "drug dealers" in town so we don't have a repeat occurence of that unfortunate situation.

*winks at her*

Unofficially, bunch of crazy vampires decided to sacrifice a kid to open the Hellmouth. Gotta admire their spirit, but their timing was bad.

[ct_char]

Sacrifice? Really?

What's the Hellmouth?

*scribbles notes*

This will be all from an unnamed source who guarantees you are fighting diligently to save your town and your people, of course.

[mayor_justus]

*arches a brow at her*

The Hellmouth is like a gateway to the underworld. Open up that baby far enough and we'd have Hell on Earth. It requires a sacrifice to be opened most of the time. Every now and then it rumbles and we get an earthquake, like we did recently.

[ct_char]

No kidding.

Can I get inside the school to see it? You could get me pass the red tape right?

*scribbles notes*

How close were they to being successful?
