PNW Archery Tournament:

The xxth PNW Winter Achery Tournament is coming up! The Tournament will be held in Seattle, and entry is open to everyone, with qualifiers taking place on December 5-7, and the Tournament proper beginning the following weekend.

Word around town is that two locals, Sophie Smith and Victoria Morgan have registered for the tournament. Though given recent events, including the arrest of both her father and uncle, many wonder if Smith may drop out.

Artemis, of all people, has a hickey.

Artemis Lind had developed a reputation at True North high school for being an innocent and impeccably well behaved boy. His once childlike appearance contributed to this substantially. Some of his classmates would sometimes jokingly cover his ears when anything risque was being discussed, claiming they were 'protecting his young ears.' This even continued after his dubious 'growth spurts.'

It came as a shock to everyone at school one morning when he was found with a hickey visible on his neck. Rumors and speculation abound about who must have given him this hickey. Some are certain it was one of the other cheerleaders. Another popular rumor is that it was one of the football players. The fact that Artemis refuses to reveal who left it has led some to believe he was with a closeted gay classmate. A few high schoolers are adamant that it was aliens, for some fucking reason.

Either way, he's not telling, but he at least seems to have a sense of humor about everyone speculating on his romantic life.

Who can know?
Artemis's classmates at True North, Anyone involved with sports at CSM, and all the unfortunate adults who might have to listen to these conversations.

Staff: lmao sure. but also: literally how would this become a site plot thing

PNW Archery Tournament Outcome:

After a long double-elimination tournament, the two local competitors Victoria Morgan and Sophie Smith took 1st and 3rd place respectively in the Olympic Recurve category. Each girl took first in different Compound categories prior to this event, and will both be moving on to the national field in the spring. For those who watched the live stream or attended, Sophie seemed off her game for the Recurve competition, but the reasoning behind this is unknown.

Strange Post on Twitter

Sometime over the weekend, a now deleted account tweeted at the CSM/TN Underground page. The tweet itself read "Hiding something? Why won't you cover this?" Along with side by side photo's of local resident Bridget Kelsha, and international pop sensation BubbleGum Bee. In particular, the image notes that not only do both have heterochromia, but their eyes are the same color.

Despite being deleted not long after being posted, the post has already spread like wildfire throughout both Twitter and the BubbleGum Bee fanbase. Yet, no official statement has been made.

Elaina Leaving Setting

CW: Suicide Mention

Early Morning News: Late last night recent CSM graduate Elaina Khalin passed away in her apartment. Police arrived on the scene shortly after it happened, and the beginning statement from investigators is that it was suicide. This was concluded given a call police received shortly before the tragic event where the victim reported it to the police before moving forward with the act. Unfortunately, the police did not arrive in time to prevent the event and help her seek medical help—-


Who can know?
anyone who watches the news

Staff:
I'd prefer staff not spring board this into a larger plot, but if individuals are interested in doing something tangential or related to Elaina please DM me.
