Trixie McAllister had a plan.

She knew all about the recent attacks around Rhy'din. First off, she'd heard them. It was hard not to. Secondly, she'd smelt the aftermath (burning flesh was so not a scent she could forget or ignore). And now, she was catching word that the local newspaper, The Oracle, was getting letters from the ones responsible.

Watch closely, kids. Here's where the plan happens.

So, Trixie was a Scathachian, right? Being such, her life's work was to provide justice, to protect, to be a sort of judge...all that jazz. And Rhy'din was a city known for crime and for a seriously lax law enforcement agency (the letter had a point). It was the perfect place for a person like her to reside, except...

Sometimes, it was hard to pin a perp. Bad things were going on all the time. Where does a person start?

Idea. Light bulb. Superman.

Superman?

Yes, Superman. Clark Kent. Mild-mannered--what folks? That's right. Mild-mannered reporter. After a brief discussion with her sister, Izz, and a decision to forego the nerdy and quite useless specs as a disguise, the pair had decided maybe it would be a good idea to go undercover. The newspaper was already drawing in fan-mail. Plus, they'd be in the perfect position there to snag breaking news, and possibly gather enough clues and leads to bring in the bad guys. She, for one, thought it was an excellent plan.

Now all she needed was to secure the jobs. She wrote out a note using her best cursive (it totally took her ten tries. She hadn't written in script for decades), and slid it underneath the paper's office door.

On the outside, it read:
"Seeking an interview; Hoping for Employment"

And on the inside? Contact information. Yeah, she was a genius, all right.

Amaltea finds the note, at first she puts it aside thinking it's more fan mail. Then picks it up again and reads it. Ok, that was different. An interview eh?

She walks downstairs to the receptionist, hands her the note.

"Please see if you contact this person and arrange for an interview." She turns around to go back to her office. Then stops and turns to the girl again. "Oh, Becky? Make sure it's during business hours?"

The young girl blushes a little bit, remembering the last appointment she scheduled on a weekend late at night, then nods and smiles nervously. "I won't mess it up this time."

Amaltea smiles and goes back up to her office.
