Cassandra Keneinan gathers up her reporting equipment and climbs into her newsvan. After taking a slow drive through different parts of Tokyotown and witnessing the tagging of several buildings by this rumored "London Undergound", she turns the van toward Tokyotown's beloved pizzeria, The Cheesy Gambit and the owners who she is meeting for an interview.
**London Underground - Tagging Report/victim interview**
Cassandra Keneinan pulls up out front of the pizzeria and sees both Atagi and Tally, the owners, standing out front. She waves and pulls the van to the side, climbing out and setting up her equipment. "Hi you two! I saw all the tagging in the city! It's a real shame! I"m ready for our interview whenever you are"
Atagi D. Underwood (atagi.underwood) stomps around cussing and clearly annoyed "Oh hi! Yeah seems we have a real fuckin problem, the pizzaria and home have been spray painted by both the london underground and the cartel idiots!
Tally D. Underwood (total.difference) chuckles and looks at her husband " oh he's the owner.. I just deliver the pizza's when needed" she giggled and brushed her hair behind her ear looking at Cassie and tries to calm her husband by grabbing his arm, but clearly upset as well " I know right .. as she points down.. Both of those groups for real!"
Cassandra Keneinan blinks "Wait, the cartel is getting in on the rampant vandalism now too? Ok, ok... let me get this interview started real quick" *she turns on her equipment and looks at the camera "Hello Shadowfall! This is Cassie Keneinan from Channel 69 SNN news. I'm here today on the scene of what appears to be rampant vandalism by both the rumored 'London Undergound' and now, the 'Wolf Cartel' too! With me here today is Atagi and Tally Underwood. Owners and operators of The Cheesy Gambit pizzeria in Tokyotown. Mr. and Mrs. Underwood, I understand you're both very upset that your business... AND your home?... has been tagged by both of these groups now?" *she moves the mic over to the pair*
Atagi D. Underwood (atagi.underwood) shakes his head "Not a clue here, we are just happy business folk, doing what we can for the community , easy prey i guess for them?" he says clearly upset and looking around the room "I dont know who this new group are but i do know the wolf so ill start there"
Tally D. Underwood (total.difference) stomps her foot and glares at Cassie.. " I think its the other way around.. yesterday them apes from the Wolfcartel comes to us and asked us all sorts of questions because their building got targeted .. and now this.. look.. this is going to take days if not weeks to clean up" her voice is angry and upset as her tears flow down her cheeks
Cassandra Keneinan watches the two unfortunate home and business owners who are clearly shaken up by this event, then asks "Wait, so the Cartel had people here harassing you and then your place was... well, turned into this right after? I'd heard that last night there was an angry Mr. Barric Wolf in the face of our lovely Governor exclaimed how angry he was at his building getting tagged and making some lightly veiled threats of retaliation...." she looks at the camera for a moment "But, why here? Why would the Cartel target locations that the London Underground has previously targeted too?"she turns back to the couple "This is truly a horrible thing to have to put up with for both of you. I know our police presence in the city is.. well... lacking, but hopefully something can be done before this gets out of hand! Do either of you have anything you'd like to say to our viewers, this.. London Underground, or the Cartel?"
Atagi D. Underwood (atagi.underwood) shakes his head "I Dont, not legally on record anyway" he says with a glare not aimed at anyone here but clearly annoyed at the situation and pacing.
Tally D. Underwood (total.difference): he her tears ruined her make up but she could care less about this " just.. let us.. be.. we are honest people just trying to run a business or two and make a living"
Cassandra Keneinan nods in understanding, wrapping an arm around Tally as she looks at the camera "And there you have it, a plea from a wonderful couple just trying to make their way in this city asking for both of these nortorious groups to just... let them be." the look of sadness still on her face, she looks back at the couple "Thank you so much for letting me speak to you both. I'm very sorry this is happening to you. It's not right, and certainly not fair to be targeted like this."looking back at the camera once more "This is Cassie Keneinan, Channel 69 SNN News. Thank you for tuning in Shadowfall"
Tally D. Underwood (total.difference): the moment the camera turns off she whipes her tears and looks around with a sigh ..
Cassandra Keneinan packs up her equipment, gives the distraught couple a hug and heads for her van, then back to the newsroom to get this story published "I can't BELIEVE the Cartel would do something as vile to these poor people!", she mutters as she drives away
