The Balamb Garden Gossip Column, part 5

Fingers flew across the keys...time was of the essence...

Item: The Triple Triad Challenge has gone out. The newest Gunblade-swinging SeeD took the news of Sunshine's win as expected...badly. Now he's gunning (pardon the pun) for our Festival Chairman...I'd be careful. In a positive light, even if she loses, she can cheer him to death.
On a related note...

Item: The Summer Garden Festival is booked for next weekend, and promises to be an even bigger event than the last one. Our chairperson has decided on a theme to outshine all others:

SeeD-Stock: 3 days of Giggles and Grins.

At least 22 bands have been booked to play this time, and the whole thing is supposed to last three days.
Is there any coincidence that our Headmaster's vacation starts the day before, and ends the day after? You decide...

Item: A certain strong man was found tied up in his closet a couple of days ago...and he was naked to boot. See what happens when you lie?
Some men never learn.

Item: As we're run aground (again) in Dollet, I'm hearing that the Headmaster is getting a little cranky, and remedial Garden Driver's Ed will be taken by the pilot.
PSA for the week: Joyriding through the FH railway is not a good way to improve your SeeD ranking.

Item: There's a new issue to be decided here in Garden, and it involves old master NORG's pod in the basement. There's a little question of what to do with it. Our fearless Leader would love nothing more then to dump it in the drink, but the Shumi seems to regard it as a holy shrine...kind of like a certain instructor's bathmat.

Item: Everyone's favorite martial artist has been sent away from Garden for a couple of months...would you believe that there really is Honest-to-Hyne rehab for people like him? Hope they checked his luggage for mustard...

Item: There's a sharpshooter already making plans to attend SeeD-Stock...will he have a friend with him, or see what develops there? My advice is for our Chairman to hold on to her sundress...

Item: Our Sorceress has a little explaining to do...why would a nice girl like her be headed out to the Dollet club scene...and without her boy-toy, I might add...

That's the news for this week...I'm out of here like rookies in the Training Center,
The Rumor Mill...

Fujin looked back and the blonde behind her, and smiled. Quistis looked behind her, and seeing no one coming, flashed a thumbs-up at her new partner.

Squall sat quietly, perusing the information on his computer screen. The legendary Rumor Mill had piqued his interest...especially since it was so damn accurate.
