Publicity Plotting?

[professorwolf]

So I know a number of people have posted to Lyall's request for people to go public with him, and he's apparently got a potential backer for some airtime on television. He'll want to do this before school starts (next week? week after? do we have an official start time for school in Locke?), so ASAP, like tomorrow or Monday. (Can't be tonight, cuz he's doing dungeon-delving with Anthony tonight, heh.)

I wanted to post something up here rather than on plurk cuz I know I don't have everybody who replied on my plurk :B Is there a day that works well for everyone IC, and do we have a preference as to how and what network and what kinds of things everyone is willing to say? I know Lyall is going to basically come clean, though he may keep his "I can change into a wolf at will" to himself, in order to keep that particular disguise if he needs it.

Also, do we want to rp this out, or handwave/summarize the actual event, or some combination of the two, like setting up a Q&A sort of thing without rping a full-on interview?

As I am toying with getting Lyall fired for going public (high school teacher who's a werewolf? yeah, that'll go over well with the parents XD ), he may wind up attempting to handle PR full time, if he can't get another job, ahahaha. But yes, that is an option.

So can Saretha fund them for some airtime on a local-ish tv station (or a tv station willing to film them in Locke, at least) for Sunday or Monday night? I think that's the goal, getting them visible and on public tv for most likely a simple statement + Q&A....

The sad thing is Saretha will probably look at this like free business advertising just by word of mouth alone. Poor Lyall. A thought I have incidentally entertained for Natalie in time, but for her end she's keeping her head down as much as possible.

But yes! That sounds feasible. (And once you do that, it won't take any doing on anyone's part for national and international media to subsequently pick up and use the resulting broadcast I imagine.)

All righty, post is now up here if you wish to be tangibly involved, rather than behind the scenes :3 Though if you wanna stay behind the scenes, that's fine, too!
