"Cut! Good job, guys."

The studio erupted in motion as camera crews packed up and prepared to go home. Jako turned toward his new co-anchor. The woman was a well-known tabloid writer with a seeming obsession with Chancellor Emil Ro. She was even more scathingly fake than Jako was when he wrote shitty speculative op-eds to garner clicks and pay off next month's rent. The man had a slight distaste for her because of this, but he didn't show it. He afforded strangers a baseline of respect and this was no different. Maybe his new co-worker would grow on him.

And either way, this was big news. His first show! No longer was he to be confined to short segments and the third page! Jako was finally on prime-time TV and his name was very first on the billing. Today was to be celebrated.

"So, Lisabe, where'd you go to college?" he asked, a common opener among Coruscanti,

[Lîsabé Hanivel]

Lîsabé was grateful for being one of the journalists that kept their job after the companies that owned the Hydian Voice and the Hyperlane Herald merged. When the merger was announced, many of her colleagues became afraid of losing their jobs. Being the most famous journalist of the Hydian Voice, Lîsabé suspected that she wasn’t going to be fired. However a small part of her was still afraid.

However, after the merger happened and it was revealed that she was going to present a proper show, Lîsabé became ecstatic. After so many years working in tabloids and small specials, she finally had the opportunity to present something big!

The only problem with this was her co-anchor, Jako Kuranabe. He was a decent journalist, but in Lîsabé’s opinion lacked the ability of making the stories more interesting. Everything that he wrote was the same that was found in other tabloids, so common and forgettable. Lîsabé became famous, because she learned to write what the people would "like to read" rather than what they "ought to read". Perhaps she could teach this to the young man.

“I studied at the University of Curamelle in Corulag.” she said, smiling at Jako. This time her smile was sincere, Lîsabé was really trying to have a good start with her co-work. After all, they will need to work together nearly everyday. “I always liked journalism, so as soon as I graduated I went to university to study it. And you, dear? Where did you go to College?” she asked him, in an attempt to continue the conversation.
