Topic: Tera "Des" Starfare's Desk.

The desk was nothing super fancy; a rather large one with plenty of cubbyholes that she could be sticking random things in when Amal might stick her head out her office door. This way she could look busy doing something instead of what she was actually doing.

The Oracle reporter loved to spend time sitting at her desk daydreaming about her scrumptious Oracle photographer husband, Gavilean Starfare.

She had an extra chair that sat beside her desk for when people came by to talk with her about their news stories and of course there was always coffee and refreshments of the usual fare just across the way there that one could grab on their way in or out if they were in a rush to get a story.

But Des had decided that she would offer refreshments to anyone that was kind enough to stop by the offices of the town newspaper to give her a story. Anything to get the news that she didn?t have to rush out and hunt down was her motto.

The Cowgirl Queen thought maybe if enough people came to give her the news she would hire herself a catering service even no matter what Amal said. That way they would have good food and drinks when people stopped by to give them the news instead of this stuff they had now at the office.

?If enough people came to talk with us,? she thought, as she sat with her chin propped on an upturned hand and gazed across the room at her scrumptious husband over there at his desk adding text to a photo layout, ?I just might even hire myself a band to come in here and play for ?em while they wait to talk to us.?

A sigh escaped and guiltily she glanced toward the glass wall where she could see their Editor-in-chief, Amaltea, was busily working on putting the latest edition for July together and jerked herself upright in her seat and quickly snagged a random piece of paper and pen.

Several minutes later the Ace Reporter gasped in horror as she looked and realized there was nothing but hearts drawn around her husband?s name repeatedly on the paper instead of the article on the Tower of Air challenge match she had intended to write.

Finally the July deadline was met and everything done. Her desk was cleared and she was ready to start thinking about next month?s articles. She heaved a sigh of relief and glanced around the still bustling newsroom with a smile.

This reporting job had turned out to be a lot of fun actually even though when the deadline loomed near it did get a bit stressful. Already they had leads on a couple of really promising stories for the next issue and Amal was hard at work on the printing stuff for July.

A little frown crossed the delicate tanned features of her face as she thought of the several devices that were missing that she and Gav had planted around the Inn, Great Hall, and in the alley. Des couldn?t figure out who was taking them. It was fairly easy to figure out why.

Of course some people wouldn?t want their business made public but still all was fair in the reporting business and it was her job to get the news out to the people and how could she do that if this person or persons kept on stealing her very expensive equipment on her.

Were she a mage or had the slightest bit of magic she would simply cast a spell of invisibility on them. That would be her best bet of all she thought to herself as she idly nibbled on the end of a pen while spinning in slow circles in the chair at her desk.

Round and round she spun slowly and nibbled away at the pen while lost in thought over how she could get her recording devices to stay where she put them without paying some mage to cast spells of invisibility on them. She needed all her money for SHOPPING!! Not for hiding recording devices.

Maybe some kind hearted patron would come by her desk one day and she could at least ask them about it even if they didn't know much...

The reporter didn't quite know what to do now that her beloved husband had been sent out to Longden castle of all places with his camera to get the scoop on Talomar of all people!

He could easily be killed and that would be if Talomar was feeling kind she well knew. Worse could happen if Gav caught him in a bad mood and got caught snooping around the Master Vampire Lord's home.

Des sat at her desk and worried the end of a pen with tiny white teeth and bounced in her chair while trying to figure out what to do to help her husband. He couldn't be killed now. Not now of all the times for him to be in trouble instead of her. It was just killing her!

At last she had an idea and rapidly the pen flew over paper then she leaned and made a grab for the nearest newspaper boy passing by her desk. "Deliver this as fast as you can and don't stop along the way and don't talk to strangers or I'll kick your backside myself!"

She gave him the directions then leaned back in her chair and took deep breaths trying to calm herself. This would work she promised herself. It had to work.

Dear Talomar,

You see that man with long dark hair and a camera that you might see lurking around your home in a corner or maybe out by the wall somewhere? Well I love him with all my heart and soul so please don't eat him. I will owe you big time if you can just see your way clear to ignore him just this once.

Thank you!
Des

It was time to get to work on her September stories and so she left the bulletin board and headed to her desk. She seated herself then found the note that Wyh had left for her.

She shuddered at the thought of that Zodiac letter that her friend was investigating and sincerely hoped that nothing bad was going to happen to her in the process. Her gaze moved out over the room to check and see if the ice elemental was at her lovely desk of ice.

Reassured when she saw her there busily writing Des took a deep breath and placed the note in one of the numerous cubby holes, that were meant to distract Amal from her laziness, then leaned back in her chair and propped her boots on her desk while gazing dreamily at her scrumptious husband who was just across the room at his desk hard at work.

She felt eyes upon her - and looked up smiing as she saw Des at her desk nearby. She unfurled the scroll she had been writing to show her all the notes she had on the Zodiac - and gave her friend a reassuring smile. Then, she went back to her writing, enjoying another chocolate treat as she worked.
