  Deeply absorbed in your thoughts, remembering yesterday's party, you vaguely contemplate the coils ascending from your coffee cup. You're still drowsy, but that's why you're drinking a coffee. You went to the office early this morning, although the cocktail party last night made it hard to get up... But you didn't waste your time, because you picked up valuable information there.
  
  Ah, here's the boss. Sammy, coat and briefcase in hand, smiles at you. Christine follows him in, and you guess this is the normal routine. It's not your habit to get up this early, but you know they're always the first people at the newspaper office. Sammy strides to his office to drop off his things; Christine comes over to say hello.
  
  "How are you doing ?"
  "Well, I drank a bit too much yesterday at a cocktail party, but it's not too bad. What about you ?"
  "Oh, I'm fine, thanks."
  
  She smiles timidly at you, then goes to her office. As Christine enters her office, Sammy exits his.
  
  "Sofia! Good to see you in bright and early. I've got an assignment for you."
  
  You sigh, and gulp a bit of your coffee. A regular day at work is beginning.

  Editorial office of "Tittle-Tattle Kettle"
  "Tittle-Tattle Kettle, your teatime's long-brewed, boiling gossip!" You always thought this motto was a little bit silly, but it's quite original after all; it didn't stop this magazine to grow. In fact, sales are good, and the paper shows its difference from its rivals with a certain sense of ethics and reflexion - it still is a gossip magazine, but let's say that you take advantage of a higher status than your rivals. The editorial office is at the sixteenth floor of the building. Westwards, the window gives you a great view of the city; near it there's the coffee dispenser and metal tables. Eastwards, it's Sammy's office; your office is somewhere to the north, and if you want to leave there's an elevator at the south.
  
  Sammy is here.
  
  > talk to Sammy
  "We've got an article to write in the next issue about Kymberley Spicey, the starlet... An article written for women in particular, so we have to focus on shape and physique." Sammy lifts his hand in advance. "Shush, I know what you're gonna say, we talked about it, stop it."
  
  You smile: more than once you have had feverish discussions with Sammy, and sometimes about this topic. He keeps saying that, speaking of magazine sales, men don't want to know about defects of sexually arousing blonde babes, while women are more interested in them. You argue that trying to reach women this way contributes to making them feel guilty by childishly pointing at little imperfections and reffering to them as defects. He argues that it's a way to break the ideology of the perfect woman that every media wants to create and make you believe in. This could go on for hours - you both are equally stubborn - and nobody is gonna change their mind. You both decided to limit the frequency of such discussions. He's the boss, he decides, you execute; but meanwhile you prepare new arguments for the next of these delightful conversations...

  "Anyway, we have to get a few photos of the lady in her everyday life, and speaking of this, I was told that she goes jogging every morning at nine o'clock."
  You look at the time and sigh in a tired way. "So, I've got a little more than an hour to go to her neighbourhood and take photos of her in her jogging clothes?"
  "Yep."
  "All right, I'm going there..."
  Sammy gives you the address of your target with a tiny smile: he knows you don't like to do it, but it's your job after all. Well, you don't have to do this every day, thankfully. A trip to the city, a few photos of a plastic sexy blonde, and this afternoon you'll be able to write your article about last night. You'll be on your way after getting your camera. The address is Meadows Heights, quite far from downtown, in a chic neighbourhood.

  > examine Sammy
  Sammy Garland, editor, and also creator of TTK. Your boss is quite cool; he's a hairy little man, chubby as a teddy bear, but you respect him a lot. He's a really good editor, because he understands the business while giving it a bit of his convictions, which gave the magazine this image of a gossip magazine with a clear and commited opinion.
  
  > examine the shirt
  You're wearing a red checked shirt. Simple, but still, quite nice.
  
  > examine the coffee
  (the coffee cup)
  The coffee cup you just took from the coffee dispenser. Still hot.
  
  > examine the phone
  It's your mobile phone, the one you got a few months ago. It's a multifunction high-tech top-of-the-technology thing, with camera, video mode, dictaphone, music player, etc., etc. You aren't gonna use half of its functionnalities, but who does? It's a flip phone, so you have to open it to use it.

  > ask Sammy about Kymberley
  "I told you, she jogs in Meadows Heights every morning. You know what she looks like, don't you? Yet another thin blonde knock-out with huge breasts - every man's fantasy. Until the next one, of course. She hasn't been seen publicly much recently. My sources told me she's put on a few kilos. One published photo of her bulge, and we can sell every woman proof that their men's latest fantasy has a little extra fat." Sammy chuckles. "Another useless article - one that's been made a thousand times before, but it fills the magazine and makes everyone happy."

  "Sales are good, no problem..."

  "As always, you're very well dressed!"
