 A mortal based on Nellie Bly, pioneering investigative journalist and explorer. Probably not supposed to be cloned, but Nellie was a hellraiser like that. Shadow Senate Select Committee on (Redacted) Activities posted:"I almost dread the answer, Director, but I am nonetheless compelled to ask what you hoped to achieve by introducing a sample of a famous journalist and troublemaker into your highly classified and completely unethical cloning program? Did you not consider that achieving your goal of capturing a genetic 'talent' would in this case risk compromising security?" Ellen Bligh rested her face against the car window and sighed. Another town. Another house. Another school. This time, her mom promised, things would be different. This was a real opportunity for them, a place to belong. She'd believed that before, but once bitten twice shy. Nothing was going to make leaving her old friends behind worth it. Wait, who was that? Ellen felt her heart beat slightly faster as the car went past a stranger on the street. Maybe this town would be worth checking out after all. quote:Who that you trust has recently let you down? My Mom promised that we were going to settle down, that she would hold down a job, that we didn't need to keep running across the country. But here we are. Another shithole town in the middle of nowhere. She says this time will be different, but I don't know if I can trust her, or if she even trusts herself. At least this time her job is paying enough for us to live somewhere decent. I don't want to settle in yet in case we have to go again, but it doesn't suck too much. quote:Who has recently made a profound impact on you? There's a teacher at this new school that is young, fresh out of training and full of great new ideas about teaching. Miss Hayer actually seems pretty cool, and she's talked me in to blogging again and taking up photography and maybe starting up a school paper...seems kinda weird the place doesn't have one. It's nice to have someone interested in my life though. quote:What's one place in town that you feel drawn to? There's a boarded up asylum down by the river.. Old school, super creepy. I've done a bit of urbex and taken some photos, but only during the day. Feels totally haunted. It's got a bunch of the old equipment still lying around in it, which makes no sense if it was abandoned. I'd love to really turn the place inside out, but...not on my own. quote:What secret did you just find out? I think I'm adopted. Mom had to take some medical tests before starting her new job, and I looked at the pre-screening stuff when she wasn't home, and she had a hysterectomy listed in her medical history. A month before I was born. Maybe it's a paperwork error? I haven't asked her yet. quote:Name: Ellen Bligh thatbastardken fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Jun 7, 2017 |

Frgrbrgr posted:What is something you recently blogged about? What did Miss Hayer say about it? I was mostly doing slice of life stuff, "Hi I'm new in town and this is what I think about the local scenery/food/school/ Frgrbrgr posted:Who is your closest friend? Do you want that friendship to become something more? Can I say 'the Internet? Because it's sad but true. I get on much better with anonymous assholes than I do with most people, I think because people feel free to talk without censoring themselves when they think they are untraceable. Sure, they lie about things all the time - but the lies they tell are more true to who they are. It's amazing the information people will just give you when they think they're going to sound impressive. Uh...being less sad, I get on OK with Kate Leigh, who got me my weekend job busing tables at Cresswell's Cafe. She's kind of rough, even by my standards, but she sticks up for people and takes no poo poo, which is cool. I've covered for her with the school when she's off doing...stuff. Stuff like selling weed or making out with her girlfriend/rival dealer Tilly. Yeah, I don't want any of that trouble, even if she is pretty cute. Frgrbrgr posted:What did you see recently that caused somebody to threaten you not to tell anybody about it? I was down in the locker rooms of the school stadium just...snooping, I guess, when I heard raised voices coming my way so I, uh, hid. In a locker. A guy's locker. Look, no-one was supposed to be there! It's not that...whatever. Anyway, it was Coach Brown and the school nurse, a creepy woman called Firenze Aedon. They were arguing about using 'the juice' for sports performance (I guess steroids?) and Ms Aedon was saying it was too dangerous, but the coach kept saying they 'needed a win' to get funding. I thought they left, so I started to sneak out but got caught and backed into a corner. I thought Coach was going to kill me, he looked so mad. Ms Aedon talked him down and said that she was sure I wouldn't say anything, but looked at me like if I did she'd find some way to get me. So of course I'm tracking down everything I can about performance enhancing drugs and stuff so I can make a big expose. No point getting in deep without it paying off, right?

Backstory posted:Declare your backstory last. Choose one person to be your Lover. Give them three Strings on you. Take one String on them. 'Lover' is kind of a strong term for what's going on with Jackie and me. Yeah, we hang out a lot and talk about how much school sucks, how weird people are, all that stuff. We're both new in town, so it's pretty natural for us to be friends. And yes, I have been asking around about her, and looking out for her in class, and I guess I'm always glad when she comes into Cresswells so I can use my employee discount to make her favorite (X). Uh. OK, maybe a little bit of a crush going on. Also, she's a great help when I'm writing because of her fantastic (if slightly creepy) eye for macabre detail. Could do a lot worse in a town like this. GodFish posted:Ellen, why didn't you tell anyone? Uh, because I'm not a narc, for starters? Also I go snooping in people's stuff like all the time and it would be super hypocritical of me to make a big deal about it. I mean, I don't take anything. I'm just curious.
