THE MAJORITY REPORT: APRIL 10TH, 2017

THE MAJORITY REPORT: APRIL 10TH, 2017
Holy narcolepsy, Batman! A pandemic sleeping sickness has been sweeping the streets, dropping imPorts right and left. What sort of new medical terror is this? Where's the Prince Charming to kiss these fallen beauties out of their slumber??

HE WAS ICE SK8TER BOY
As seen in on BlueTube, Bwitter, Rumblr:
W O W!!

A new viral video of an impromptu figure skating exhibition has been making the rounds on social media lately, and it is stunning. Who knew something as simple as skating could be this moving? And to see something so beautiful coming from such a cranky little kitten, astounding!

Do yourself a favor and watch it here. You won't regret it.

TENDER HEARTS
As seen in Bwitter, Rumblr, and all the good gossip tabloids:
Is there anything more wonderful in this world than young love?

Certainly not, if recent developments are anything to go by! What seemed to begin as an budding friendship between imPorts, students at a local middle school eagerly report, seems to have blown into a full-fledged secret romance!

According to classmates Hinami Fueguchi and Yuuto Kidou, both imPorts and students of Nonah Middle School, always seemed to have what was described as a "formal, kind of uneasy" friendship. But are things looking up? Their fellow students seem to think so!

Over the last few weeks we have been informed, some of that formality seems to have been disregarded. Though Mr. Kidou seems to have opted to remain with last names (What a gentleman!), Ms. Fueguchi is reported to have begun to call him by the nickname "Kikkun", though none of their classmates seem to be sure where exactly the nickname came from.

As if that wasn't enough to get some middle school gossip going, the two were involved in what students described as a rescue so brave and romantic, it deserves its own movie moment! With the apparitions plaguing our cities this past March, even our younger imPorts weren't spared the trouble. According to onlookers, Mr. Kidou spotted Ms. Fueguchi cornered by one and valiantly cleared out the students so he could run to her rescue! Perhaps he wanted to be the only one around to do so? What a dedicated young man!

Though the pair have denied the relationship when asked about it, classmates were insistent that it was nothing more than a cover meant to protect Mr. Kidou from the potential wrath of Ms. Fueguchi's notoriously protective older brother, Ken Kaneki. Some even reported spotting the two meeting up after classes under the guise of studying, and Mr. Kidou gifting Ms. Fueguchi with numerous treats, from sweets to lunches.

Students also reported that Ms. Fueguchi had been receiving love letters from an admirer in her locker for many months. Has the secret admirer perhaps finally come forward?

What's next for this young couple? Sign up for updates and find out!

A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME
As seen in local Maurtia Falls newspapers and heard on talk radio:
They poison them in the wild. They poison them in the park. It's hard being a pigeon in 2017. On Sunday 9th, an unprecedented number of pigeons were found poisoned in Maurtia Falls Municipal Park, done in with a squirrel or two. No other animals appeared affected. Park keepers gave no explanation for the cause, other than to say, "we condemn this impiety and lack of propriety and remain convinced the culprit made off with a dead pigeon or two."

Is it against your religion to poison pigeons in the park, imPorts? Call, bweet, or e-mail us with your comments.

I SOLOMONS SWEAR I AM UP TO NO GOOD
As seen in national and local news:
Alfie Solomons, cooking show host extraordinaire, has been arrested for bank robbery! Shock, gasp! Though there is video proof along with witnesses (as well as a lot of whispering that this isn't the first time he's been involved in illegal dealings) and though he wasn't able to provide an alibi, he maintains his innocence, claiming that someone must have either doctored the footage and tampered with the witnesses in some way (implanting false memories, paying them off, etc.) or disguised themselves as him. Despite the best efforts of his lawyer, there was not sufficient evidence to dismiss the case outright, and so it will be proceeding to trial.

THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR
As seen national news, but no one really pays attention to it because it's in the science section:
The CDC reports that investigation into the very brief apple famine is ongoing. It is accurate to conclude that no imPort was behind the incident. Rumors that this was a biogenetic testing sample gone wrong persist, much to the dismay of the CDC and other government facilities.

CODE SWITCH
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from SOLAR ECLIPSE to OF THE HEART in honor of Dorian Gray's probably accidental sacrifice.

In my experience people see both, but I can put up with it as long as they're paying attention to my skating too.
matataku: (44)

[personal profile] matataku 2017-04-11 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
At the very least, it's what I paid the most attention to.


You're truly something, Yuri-kun.
beautiful_monster: (It's good to be on top)

[personal profile] beautiful_monster 2017-04-12 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. I worked really hard to get this good, so it's always nice to hear people appreciating it.

It's like that for you and your soccer too, right?
matataku: (45)

[personal profile] matataku 2017-04-12 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. When you score a goal in front of the world, aiming to be the best...

Hearing the crowd cheer and your teammates run up to you is one of the best feelings in the world.
beautiful_monster: (You're actually pretty legit)

[personal profile] beautiful_monster 2017-04-13 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that reminds me. Do you have any soccer matches here?
matataku: (44)

[personal profile] matataku 2017-04-13 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I do! Mostly from my school.

I go to Nonah Middle School...despite living in De Chima.
beautiful_monster: (bbbbbeeeeehhhh)

[personal profile] beautiful_monster 2017-04-14 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh, school... They put me in Nonah High School too, but I can't believe they're actually making me go. I always had a tutor at home!
matataku: (10)

[personal profile] matataku 2017-04-14 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
You're in Nonah High School?

[His voice raises just a pitch.]

That means we'll be attending together next year...!

beautiful_monster: (the fuck is it doing down there)

[personal profile] beautiful_monster 2017-04-14 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a pause on Yuri's end, and a little hesitancy in his voice when he speaks again like he's not quite sure how to respond. Someone here isn't used to the social aspect of schools. Or socializing with people his own age in general.]

Is it that exciting...?
matataku: (9)

[personal profile] matataku 2017-04-14 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Mm.

I grew up with 55 other family members. We went to school, but we were in such a remote area that we really just all went together. It's not the same as a real school with upperclassmen and clubs and lunchrooms.

In a way, it is exciting.
matataku: (35)

[personal profile] matataku 2017-04-14 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
A-Ah..!

Adopted siblings! [How do you say 'I'm an orphan' without saying 'I'm an orphan.']

None of us were blood related.
beautiful_monster: (ffs get a room)

[personal profile] beautiful_monster 2017-04-16 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That... [Doesn't make any sense.

...But it's so weird that he's not sure he should really press the issue. Not when it's family related.]


...It still seems strange to me. —Going to school, I mean. Aren't there other things you want to do with your time instead of sitting in a stuffy building all day?
matataku: (32)

[personal profile] matataku 2017-04-16 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess I would work...[Gran that's probably not what he means.]

But all my friends go to school. It'd be a bit boring if I decided not to go--it's not like I could really hang out with anyone, you know?
beautiful_monster: ([p] ffs why are you still here)

[personal profile] beautiful_monster 2017-04-16 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't really have friends, so that's not a problem for me. I guess it makes sense if you have a lot.
matataku: (4)

[personal profile] matataku 2017-04-16 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'd be sad if I couldn't see you every day.


Were you given a job?

[Gran you can't just say that first sentence and move on.]
beautiful_monster: (The distant horizon)

[personal profile] beautiful_monster 2017-04-16 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[GRAN YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT FIRST SENTENCE AND MOVE ON!!!]

I—uh. Yeah... I was, but I don't know if I can keep it up... I have to stay on top of my training too, and between that and school there's not a lot of time for anything else.
matataku: (11)

[personal profile] matataku 2017-04-18 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[LOOK MAN SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA TELL A DUDE YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH HIS EYES.]

It's hard...I was lucky to be given part time only a few days a week...since I've got soccer practice and school. But once summer starts I might look for full time work.
beautiful_monster: (the fuck is it doing down there)

[personal profile] beautiful_monster 2017-04-19 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Figure skating is full time work already. It's fun, but when you get to the level I'm at... There just isn't room for a normal job too.
matataku: (14)

[personal profile] matataku 2017-04-22 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hm...


I guess when skating IS your job, it's hard taking on another. That's understandable.

I've always wanted to be professional myself. [Child, you are competing in the world tournament you're pretty much pro.]
beautiful_monster: (Eh?)

[personal profile] beautiful_monster 2017-04-23 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well, not everyone can be professional...but you still love playing, right? That matters too.
