Hey, everyone, long time no write! "Journalist Forgets About Journal- Ironic?" end quote. I've done a few interviews recently, but until I get them edited for publication (One of them's going in the LA Times- that's just great, hey?), I can't post them here. Kinda bad business to let people see the interview before you make any money! But I do have

POGS? That sounds so familiar! I think my husband Ronnie has some of those!

[sparkofgenius]

POGS are pretty neat, hey? Never figured out how to play, but I collect things made out of cardboard with Valant's face on them, so! "Reporter Is Lucky To Have POGS," end quote.

Oh! I have some of those!! For purely nostalgic reasons, but... I loved the Troupe when I was little. I'm still looking for some Thalassa ones. She was my favourite!!

[sparkofgenius]

Thalassa ones were the rarest, yeah? Dunno why, since the others were much more popular. "Women Always Harder To Come Upon?" end quote.

Wait just a moment... If you were in front of the wrong building the entire time, then why is it that you found merchandise related to the individual you're stalking outside of it? That seems like a curious coincidence... or a contradiction.

Y-you think so? W-well, maybe it... maybe it was just random chance, hey? "Reporter Finds POGS, One In A Million Chance," end quote.

And hey, look, it's not 'stalking', it's 'staking out'. Journalist's privilege, you know?

[sparkofgenius]

That'd be really great! If I can stake that out instead, I might even bump into Valant! "Lunchland Much More Promising Than Random Mansion," end quote.
