Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome back to the Hillworth Sound, your personal go-to guide for everything happening around school too raw and hardcore for the Hillworth Gazette to publish (sorry boys no hard feelings, none in return). You're back with your anonymous editor to celebrate another term, and the theme of this edition of the Sound is "deep thinking", not something a lot of you do often as I understand it. I am confident that my insulting my readership will make you sit up stung with manly pride and listen to what your bluff Editor has to say.

Destiny City has become a dangerous place, and I feel that if we're not asking questions then we are mice not men. It's our duty to the school and to ourselves to look at everything that's going on around us. Yes boys, there are girls in short skirts running around and they ARE real, Margaret, the authority would have you believe that some louche university students are running around in tight outfits but This Is Not The Case. Question authority. Don't look simply because you're told not to look. We at Hillworth are all similar in one thing men, we've been in trouble, we know it, it's our dining companion, our lover, and we should stare at it in the face when we see it. It is staring back.

So as the mighty Hillworth Polecats would say: OORAH

(please support the Hillworth Polecat Cheerleading Squad this year, Simon welcome to the team)

Our first item on our agenda is our Political Comic.



*** ITEMS TO NOTE ***

- Welcome all the new boys, the editor of the Hillworth Sound hears that he's seen twins around?? Elmo and Marlowe or something? Twins as you know are highly lucky, so if you see them make sure that you touch their hair so that their fraternal luck can wear off on you, but don't touch them too intimately because that is sexual harrassment

- Welcome to Howl Wickham who as I understand it is rooming with the dashing Franz St. Germaine, who is as handsome as he is hard-working, it's the editor's understanding that some of you have been calling him the "school hot chick" but this wasn't cool when you did it to Cygny and it's not cool now, don't be douchebags gentlemen just because the Lord giveth some of us silkier hair than others

- Meadowview High girls still beautiful, Crystal Academy girls still unattainable. The Hillworth Sound has discovered that at the end of last term, a note went around to parents warning them that some of us were put at Grammar for sexually lewd behaviour, and that none of the Crystal girls should associate with us. Signing a petition against this is attached on the opposite side of your newspaper

- Good luck to the lacrosse team this year, the Hillworth Polecats are right behind you



*** INTERVIEW SECTION ***

Your intrepid reporter was determined to get the opinion of a Meadowview student after the incident there that everyone knows is a crass cover-up. He went undercover to interview one charming, unusually coy young Louisa McIntyre. Blurry cellphone picture shown above, be aware that Miss McIntyre is much more attractive in person. Donations for better cellphone are open.

Me: All right, show time, don't worry about the tape recorder. Breathe in, breathe out. Hi, this is the devoted and anonymous field reporter for the Hillworth Sound here today with our special interview guest. Miss... McIntyre? Does that have an E at the end? Okay? Miss McIntyre, describe yourself in one sentence for our audience back home. The audience back home is all guys, so you can make it a little hot if you wanted to.

Louisa: *laughs* Yes it is McIntyre with an E and myself in one sentance... erm.. I am cheerful, odd, quirky, gorgeous and just a little crazy.

Me: You have it from her mouth, gentlemen. Single?

Louisa: Of course!

Me: Now I know that nobody'll read the rest of the interview just in case I put down your phone number, but I'll ask them to try to restrain themselves for five seconds at a time. All right, let's get to the drama, let's get, you know, to the real action, not that you're not the real action ma'am but. Let's do a little word association. Sailor senshi.

Louisa: Interesting words... I don't know any I am afraid, sorry boys

Me: So you're actually saying, confirming, that you believe in them?

Louisa: Well I dunno, it would be cool if they existed sure but I haven't seen one, I guess it could just be some wishful thinking

Me: Wishful thinking, it's interesting that you know, you said that, 'wishful thinking'. Some people in authority would have us believe that all this senshi stuff is the work of terrorists. Or tertiary students. Nobody has any idea which is worse. Is it true that there are senshi at Meadowview? Reveal your secrets, Miss McIntyre.

Louisa: I don't see how they would be terrorists. The stories of them seem to be good aren't they? You are so not getting Meadowview secrets out of me mister... our secrets are ours alone

Me: Oho, a tough nut to crack! I love this, McIntyre! I warn you, the more zipped your lip gets, the more determined I get. It's like some kind of law of physics. Are you prepared to go toe-to-toe with me? You know, in a like, gladiatorial, journalistic sense.

Louisa: Bring it on boy... My lips are sealed

Me: Watch out, keep on going like this and I may have to marry you, and you could have my five burly children. So are you saying you've never seen a senshi at, at Meadowview at all? Not a peep? Not even a little?

Louisa: I think you might be outta luck there mister - children not my thing! As for the senshi... I haven't seen one.

Me: They say there was an incident. At your assembly. Talk about that.

Louisa: Well... thats for us to know and for you to wonder about after all... they could just be rumours!

Me: Your coyness only makes my fury more intense. So. Come on, the police were there, are you seriously going to tell me that nothing happened? It was in the newspaper and everything.

Louisa: Well okay fine this big alien from outta space came down and tried to eat one of the teachers, we all cheered and it ran off. Happy?

Me: You're sassy. I like that in my interviewees. Unfortunately for you, you've definitely, you know, revealed more than you intended, so. When you say there was a "big alien", can I take that to mean you literally saw something alienesque, McIntyre? You saw something, didn't you?

Louisa: Someone needs to learn sarcasm. Yeah i saw a big alien... it was called one of the ugliest teachers ever and yeah it looked like she was about to eat one of the other teachers... take it as you will.... Meadowview secrets are not mine to tell

Me: But you're saying there ARE secrets though, you little secret-keeper. Are you sure there's nothing I can squeeze out of you?

Louisa: Doesn't every school have their secrets and stories?

Me: Sometimes if it's our birthday at Hillworth we get jelly and ice cream! Does that count?

Louisa: Suuuure coz that old building of yours doesn't hold any secrets! Its big and old and old stuff always has secrets so you are hiding yours and I will hide ours.

Me: Well, it's obvious that you're keeping it as close to your chest as a member of Her Majesty's Secret Service. I shake your hand for being, you know, a worthy competitor. Is there any message you'd like to send back to my manly compatriots before I end the interview?

Louisa: Hmmm that they can find me and the other girls near the mall or the ice cream parlor... if they are ever interested! *laughs*

You heard it from her guys!



Short edition this time, mein comrades, but there's a lot of school administration to be taken care of at the start of this term. Some of us have to keep the school running etc etc. Be on the lookout for more Hillworth Sound, serving the people since January this year!
