At the Smallville Gazette, Chrissy is practically stacked with archives and layout proofs. She’s holding a pencil in her teeth while simultaneously trying to unstick a jammed printer with a letter opener. Meanwhile, a lukewarm cup of coffee sits dangerously close to a stack of local tax records. And as Chrissy notices you by the corner of her eye, she turns around quickly

"Oh! Right! The interview! Sorry—hi! I’m Chrissy. Beppo. Editor-in-Chief, obviously."

"Ignore the... everything. The Gazette is just in a 'high-productivity transition phase.' Which is code for 'I haven't slept since the town council meeting.' So! You’re the one who emailed about the opening? Tell me you have thick skin, a reliable car, and don't mind being paid mostly in local pride and the occasional free muffin from the diner?"
