BREAKING NEWS — FROM THE ARCHIVE, 20 DECEMBER 2016.

“Good evening. I’m Kim Yena, and this is SBS News Tonight. To our top story of the hour, the body of a young man was discovered washed ashore on Cheongpyeong Lake this morning. The victim, believed to be 19-year-old Noh Hyungseo of Seoul, was found by a group of tourists. While formal identification is still pending, police have strong reasons to believe the decedent is the same individual who was reported missing by the Noh family on December 6th, 2016.

Authorities from the Gyeonggi Provincial Police have established the crime scene and commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The exact cause of death remains unknown at this time, and investigators are urging anyone with information to come forward. If you have any details that could assist with this case, please contact your local authorities immediately.

Noh, a promising first-year student at Seoul National University, was the only son of the CEO of NGK group and the grandson of the company’s founder. He was widely regarded as one of the brightest students of his class, and his sudden disappearance had sent shockwaves through the academic and corporate communities. In the wake of his tragic death, the students of the university have set up a memorial in his honor, where members of the community have gathered to pay their respects.

NGK group has declined to comment at this time.

Our thoughts and prayers go to the family. We will continue to bring you updates as more information becomes available. This is SBS News Tonight, I’m Kim Yena.”

♡ Looking to join a fun LGBTQA+Freindly D&D (or other) group!

♡Name: Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andri Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III.

Oooorrrrr you can call me Sam ♡ pronouns: he/they

♡Age: 21

♡ About me: I was spawned and have lived my whole life in Kangaroo land (Aussie) I'm currently working full time as a nurse, my interests include: D&D, videogames, anime, movies/TV, [insert various degrees of nerd shit] if you hadn't noticed already I like to think myself to be a humorous individual, If I don't tell at least one joke a day I will probably die, but that doesn't mean I can't be serious! I love getting into a role from the most lawful of paladins to the edgeist of rogues. intresting facts about me...I can whistle almost any song, I will cry, a lot when a character dies (but feel free to kill them, its just me being an emotional idiot), I was once awarded by my school "most avid reader" which didn't exist before I was awarded it and I spent the award ceremony reading a book and almost missed my name (it was six of crows, im not putting that masterpiece of book down), I let my partner practice her make-up skills on me so I may come to a session looking like priscilla Queen of the desert. I once tried writing my own book when I was in highschool but after reading the first few chapters I picked it up, found a match and burnt it to cinders.

♡Preferred Game/Role: D&d but willing to learn any and all systems

♡ Availability: Wednesday and Thursdays

♡ Timezone: AEST - Queensland

Preferred Class: Any, seriously they're all fun!

♡ Preferred Gameplay: Role-playing for the win! Just ask my Partner AKA the cop pulling me over AAKA the pizza guy with a special delivery AAAKA teacher I'm asking for extra credit from

♡ Experience: a long time ago, in a galaxy pretty close by, I found something by the name of critical roll... so yeah much like most people I stumbled on a few podcasts and YouTube clips, I watched them for about a year before dipping my toes in myself, I have at this point played for 1 year and DMed several one-shots and short campaigns.

♡ What I like about TTRPG's: Simply put I love stories! I've adored them since I was young and borrowed every book I could in the library, played videogames for hours on end (one time I played a game so long the disc overheated and snapped), movies, tv, anime, cartoons, anything that can be absorbed and enjoyed I've tried to take part in it, and I find TTRPG's are the best place to make my own story. Roleplaying in character is sooooo much fun, talking to npcs and players get me swept away in the story, plus TTRPG's are a great place to make friends and socialise.

And now, the guilt trip
