This is the story you wanted to write, well tonight is the night that you can...
[The same stern and properly buttoned up Enjolras appears on everyone's screens again, but there is something a little different about the man than only that, a spark of something in his gaze. It is not the same brand of happiness that he's displayed in many of his postings here, but it is something of a flame regardless, as tiny as it may be. He's clearing his throat and leaning in a little, waiting a few moments before proceeding.]
It has occurred to me that we have many people of talent here whose skills are being underused, or perhaps not used at all, and many important goings on around us that deserve to be addressed in the right fashion. True, we have the radio program, but there is likely still more that can be done in regard to the sharing of information. In short,
[And here, that spark that's not entirely dead seems to be growing in his eyes, just a little. Perhaps it is no longer the blue of ice, but the blue of fire as well. At any rate, it is there, and open for anyone watching to note.]
Tu Vishan has many stories, and, of equal importance, just as many storytellers gathered here. I think that it is time we work to follow these stories as they happen, to report the goings on around these stories, and, perhaps most importantly, to be a voice for all the foreigners settled here, no matter how long or short their time has been.
In short...In short, I would propose that we begin a newspaper, with the intent of focusing on all events from the foreigner's eye. We would provide information to our readers, gather it, and report and compile all that we have seen with our own eyes.
Ideally, given that language is something of an issue given we are all from different places, I would also suggest that translators are welcome along with our reporters, so that our news might reach everyone, regardless of the languages they read and write. The last thing I would wish is to exclude anyone from our endeavor.
If anyone is interested in doing this, in creating a paper and witnessing and reporting history here as it is made, I would certainly welcome you to join me on Thursday evening, starting around six o'clock in the Earth sector's largest cafe where we might discuss organization, our approach to others, and the sort of work we will need to get started.
I do hope as many of you as possible who would be interested in this are able to join me for what I hope will be quite an exciting venture.
Thank you for your time, as always.
[And back to your now regularly scheduled Enjolras, all pale and stern as they come, as if his excitement over starting up a newspaper has never happened. Back to business as usual then, turtle, carry on!]
OOC: [So, yes, Enjolras has gotten permission to start that newspaper I was asking about a few weeks ago, which be mostly handwaved. If your character is one who would be interested in journalism or any other aspect of the paper, please do let me know. Sign-ups will happen in a few days, via a log I will be posting!
Thank you!

Paris? That's awesome. Say something in French!
[She grins. It's one of the truly teenage moments she allows herself.]
Hayley, from the United States, also over a year.
no subject
Enjolras does have to grin at the girl's enthusiasm there. Those sorts of things are good to see, after all.]
Ah, Mademoiselle Hayley, Enchanté. J'habite à le secteur de la terre.
And I've just said I am pleased to meet you and living in the Earth Sector.
no subject
Maybe you could teach me some french while I'm working there? [A beat.] Where is there?
no subject
[Enjolras is still no better at handling girls than he was at home, a year ago. Ah well, at least he's not starring at this one terrified, right?]
I would be glad to do something like that, yes. I HAVE been struggling with English writing. The translations here can make that much easier, but the practice and review would be good for me as well.
[Well, he DID promise at the hospital that he would work on it. Which was...a good few months ago in which he's done nothing about that. Oops. There are many reasons he was still in law school after several years, and that sort of work ethic applied to things that confuse him without immediate payoff is one of them. His torts professors likely wept, honestly.]
Ah, that IS still a question while I am finding those who would be interested.

Just let me know when you find a place and whatever.

And you shall be the first I tell.
