Very good! I knew you were a good person, someone who cared about their friends and relatives, Miss Pearl Fey. I can see why you did it, even if I don't agree and was wronged by it.

Yes, we make every effort to do that. It's not always possible but we make the effort.

[hm, getting her to run back and write the information back in wouldn't work, but...]

--No, that's all right. That won't be necessary. ...but if you would, I'd like you to do something else for me so we can resolve this and ensure someone else doesn't do something like it again. Y'know?

[ well, she'd break into people's homes and unfix their copies but then she'd land herself in the next issue as that week's crazy person. ]

Sure! What would you like me to do, Miss Scuttlebutt?

[she tried to phrase it delicately, she really did seem like a nice girl, and bullying her would just make her the bad-guy]

Well... kahk-kahk. Again, you see that letter in the letters to the editor section by Mr. Rock Lee? I'd like you to write a letter like that, apologizing for altering the papers like you did.

We can put this all behind us, show the public how to properly seek corrections, clarify the story about Mr. Wright and Miss Maya Fey, and give an explanation to everyone who picked up an altered-paper, all at once. What do you think?

Hmm... all right! That sounds reasonable. I'll write you an apology letter.

Thank you, Pearl! I work down at the school supply store at [gives the name of it and location]. Just bring it by and hand it to me so I can be sure it's from you.

[PERFECT! Win-win for everyone]

Oh! By the way, while I've got you on the phone... you're a sort of fortune teller, correct? So sources have told me. Sss, sss, sss.

I'll deliver it as soon as possible!

Oh, yes, I am! Or I work as one, anyway. Do you want your fortune told? I've never done it over the phone before, though...

[that's what she wanted to hear] Sss, sss, sss!

Well, not for me, but I was thinking... do you ever do anything with horoscopes? How would you like your own column in my paper? Write a little blurb of advice or prediction for each zodiac sign each week. Western, Eastern, either one. I'm not picky!

[of course it never crossed Scuttlebutt's mind they weren't on Earth anymore and the actual pseudo-scientific methods the zodiac were based on wouldn't apply]

--Of course I'll gladly pay you for the work. How much do you usually charge for a fortune?

Really? Oh, I've love to! That sounds like such fun!

[ well either way, pearl is not exactly a "legitimate" astrologer anyway... ]

Oh, it depends... sometimes I just charge an ice cream cone or get paid in coupons... [ there's a fair chance that pearl is very really paid actual money for fortunes. ] What do you think is fair payment?

That sounds fair! I pay per article, so let's say every edition I'll owe you a sundae or some such thing. Whichever you want! Sss, sss, sss.

I print the paper every week. Next date will be January 17th. I put the paper to bed at 11:59 pm the previous day, so that's when I'd need the article by. Don't worry about formatting it, I take care of that. Sound good?

Alrighty, that sounds wonderful!

Yes, ma'am! Do you want me to bring it to you at the school store or text it or mail it...?

Whichever is easiest for you! The letter was different. This article you can submit any way you like.
