Juliette excitedly knocks on the door, delighted to have been chosen for the job.

Logan's desk was full of neatly organized piles of paperwork when he hears the door knock. It's 9 AM, exactly when the work day was supposed to start. Using telekinesis, he flipped the door open, and saw Juliette. "Aw, Miss Vale! I see you got my letter! Welcome back! Come on in, it'll be a great first day!"

With a grin, she enters the room. “It’s an honour to have you choose ne for the job, Mr. Caldwell.”

With a nod, she asks, “ What are we going to do first?”
- "Words are weapons, use them wisely."

"First off, I want to get you familiar with your office and the things inside of it," Logan said. "In the future, you'll have your own individual office, but for now, since you're still in a period of training, the joining office room next to mine shall be yours. Want to see it?"

He unlocked the door that led to the joining room. It was a small office, compared to his, but was at least three hundred square feet. One whole wall was made of glass, showing a view of the beautiful sunrise outside. The glass sliding doors led to a small balcony. The office had a bookcase, with a few pictures on the wall of abstract art. The desk was fairly big and dark wood, completely polished. There were some papers on the desk, along with an Elvin computer and the name-holder thing read: 'Journalism Trainees.' "How do you like it? It's mainly where you'll be working for the next three weeks."

She tries very hard to keep a composed face while staring at her new workplace, but it was quite hard. “It’s beautiful.”

Logan walked over to the desk, and showed her a small pack of papers that as stapled together. "This is a guide on how our department functions, and stuff like that. If you forget anything from our training, this has some great reminders."

She takes the book and studies it. “I’ll read it as soon as I get time.”
- "Words are weapons, use them wisely."

He nodded. "It goes through a lot of what I'll explain to you over the next few days." He walked over to the computer and opened it up. "It's a pretty basic computer, but it works." Logan showed Juliette how to type up her journalism reports and send them into the Editors.

Wide-eyed, she pokes at the computer like it’s a mutant creatures. “Is this... human technology?”
- "Words are weapons, use them wisely."
Message Me
Logan shrugs. "Partly. Some technology industries have started to integrate human technology with Elvin. These computers are much better than the human ones." Logan pointed to one of the symbols on the top right corner. "If you click that, it'll take you to a blank interface. When something happens that the Times wants a Journalist to write about, you'll get a popup notification. Make sense?"

Pursing her lips, she nods. “I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it one day.”
- "Words are weapons, use them wisely."

The computer binged, and text popped up on the interface. "Oh, look at that! There's no time like the present to learn how to operate in the journalism department than out in the field! It looks like the Times wants a journalist to do a segment on the recent robbery of a jewelry store. What do you say, Juliette--want to go interview the people on the scene?"

She jumps up and down like an excited little kid. “Let’s go, lets go, lets go!”
- "Words are weapons, use them wisely."
Message Me
He smiles, and whips out his pathfinder. He grabs a notebook and pen, handing it to her. "I'll be there to guide you a bit, but you'll be doing the real interview. Alright, let's go!" He raised his pathfinder and they appeared in front of the robbed jewelry store.
Juliette Vale➵ burning flame ✩ aspiring journalist ― "Give me a reason to waste my time on you and maybe I'll give you a reason to waste your time on me." Hail Me ✩ 11:19, November 2, 2018 (UTC)
She looks around and winces. “This is a huge crime scene.”

She obliges and waves to the manager. "Sir, do you have a moment?" When he nods his head in a yes gesture, she rushes over and gets a notepad and pen ready.
- "Words are weapons, use them wisely."
Message Me
Logan watched as Juliette began to interview the manager. He gave her a few prompts as they went along, such as whispering a few questions she could consider asking, but other than that she was doing great on her own.

Once the interview is over, Juliette shows her notes to Logan. "Is this okay?"
- "Words are weapons, use them wisely."
Message Me
"Wow, you really do have natural journalist skills," Logan commented, and showed her a few ways to organize her notes, and a few editing ideas. "Now, we need to type up your report and then ssend it into the editors."

“Got it.” Juliette starts to pack up all her stuff.
- "Words are weapons, use them wisely."
Message Me
"See you back at the office. You can start typing up your report, I have a meeting with the Editor in Chief. I'll be back there soon," Logan said, lightleaping to the office.

"Understood," she told him and went back to her own office and begins to do what her boss had told her to.

Casually sipping her cup of the Elvin version of coffee, she points at her computer screen. "All done."

She looks down. "I don't think I left a very good first impression on her."
- "Words are weapons, use them wisely."

"Evie's a bit worried about your presentation. She didn't go into too much detail, but just...how you present yourself, I suppose. Working here, you're in a world of business. Everything that happens is a deal across the table, you have to be able to present yourself the right way," he said. "And Evie...she's the boss...of this whole place. I'm not firing you, and I definitely do not intend to, but I would try to improve your relationship with her."

Biting her lip, she nods. "I'll do my best to make myself appear a better elf in her eyes."
- "Words are weapons, use them wisely."

"Alright, I'm going to give this to the editors. Maybe it'll make the front page--it's a good article. Good work today, see you tomorrow," Logan said with a smile as he walked out of the room.

She waves. "Thanks! And see you tomorrow." Juliette begins to pack up her stuff and gets ready to leave.
