Hey dudes! Alfred here! Artie and I will be keeping this blog to help us with our field reports! What, you don't know what I'm talking about? We're journalists, silly! Artie's the editor-in-chief and copy-editor of the local newspaper while I'm the sports newswriter. That guy's got some serious issues with social networking so I'll be manning the blog myself for a while! A-And we're not in a relationship. I am totally keen on changing that M!A: N/A (This is Hana's ask blog for her Journalism AU ouo/ Will be posting terrible traditional drawings here...hope you guys don't mind!))

Arthur has weird fantasies. Don't ask, I just know. And I heard from a close friend that he has dreams of being a pirate and stuff. Must be from all the books he read as a child.
He'll probably like to be the dominant one in bed.
...Heh.
A-As much as I appreciate the sentiment, I think that's highly improbable.
Since I'm kinda running out of time here, let's talk about my friend who loves to sing in the rain! (He can be a Disney princess for all I care but honestly I am not complaining).
First up,things Artie and I are afraid of.
I'm sooo not afraid of ghosts.
...
Fine, fine! I am. Happy?
Arthur is one good troll, I swear. He won't tell me what he's afraid of, though. That limey little-
Ahem, something I hate. As journalists, Artie and I get to travel a lot.
I hate it when he falls asleep and his unconscious little self slides off the seat away from me.
Aaaand I happen to like it very much whenever we hit a bump or experience turbulence and gravity gets to do its work.
About drinking. I personally don't drink much; if I ever do, I barely get tipsy. As for Arthur, I've never seen him drunk personally. Shameful. But he only drinks whenever I make him angry or write my headlines wrong.
Francis is the one who always gets to listen to his woes and from what I've heard it never ends up pretty.
As a general rule, we keep Artie away from the stove.
He helped me during that one eventful history class. He seldom smiles but he seemed quite amused with my predicament back then. He looks like an angel when he smiles okay?
I-it's not like Arthur is the only reason I got into journalism or anything! S-sure, the fact that he decided to take up writing as his career contributed to my being a sports news writer, but I assure you guys, I have other reasons!
Ahem, I must not get too defensive. Besides, interviewing athletes is awesome! I get to meet them personally and tell the rest of the world their answers to my questions!
Oh, and there was this time during high school...
All you do is listen to them.
You see, Arthur was pressured by his family to have a "proper" job. You know, to be a doctor or lawyer. But he loves to write. He's Arthur Kirkland, after all.
So I told him that, since he's been doing nothing but please his parents since he was a kid, he has the right to choose whichever career he chooses. And whaddaya know, the very thing that his parents wanted him not to be was the one that brought in all the cash.
That's it, I guess.
...
Oh, right. Credits.

I so did not annoy him into drawing into drawing Arthur and me.
