EVENT END: The New Mayor

[keyofimagination]

Who: Everyone!
What: The end of the election event
Where: Park in Aqua District
When: 5/6.
Warnings: The new mayor, for one thing.

[On Sunday morning, everyone will wake up to a new card of their choice, along with a note asking everyone to meet in the park at noon for the announcement of the new mayor.

At noon, Rod shows up on the stage, looking somehow more exhausted than the day he broke down.]

Before we announce the new mayor, I want to make a few announcements.

First of all, Red and I have decided to start a city council, and we’ll be able to accept or reject law according to the suitability and reasonability of them. This applies to me as well.

Second of all, in the event that any mayor who isn’t a native manages to leave the city, I will become the temporary mayor again and, in the event that we have time, hold another debate and election as soon as possible.

Lastly, no matter who is elected mayor, they will not obtain the means to alter or control this pocket dimension, so I am still technically the owner of it. This is because both objects are insanely powerful, and we need something more than a mere vote to decide on who gets them. You may think it’s unfair, but I know first hand that its magic is horrifying in the wrong hands.

[He sighs, before he continues.]

Due to the nature of my announcements, you have probably already guessed that I am not the mayor anymore. I cannot say that I personally agree with who you voted for, but I promised myself I wouldn’t be a dictator, and I certainly hope the new mayor will honor it and try to uphold our moral code.

And so… I would like to welcome our new Mayor…. [he weakly gestures.] Sheldon J. Plankton.

It really doesn't matter, 'cause you voted for Evie.

[RIGHT]

[seasonthree]

Does this mean we get to execute the old mayor now?

[keyofimagination]

Dear Walt no you can't! I still own this city and we would never resort to executing losers!

[andbegone]

Are you willing to say that on tape? That you're a loser?

[keyofimagination]

No.

[seasonthree]

Why not? It's a far better fate than execution.

[keyofimagination]

I don't want to give either of you the satisfaction. Especially not to the man who just suggested that I be murdered.

[ilovepuppies]

[A MUTINY.....]

Now you're speaking MY language!

[itsthecount]

Disneytown or notttttt, this isn’t the last of Jerry Mander!

I may be old-fashioned, but Plankton has proven that the average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever. The only one who's changed is me. I've become more bitter and, let's face it, craaaaaaazy over the years. And when I'm finally ssssswept into office, I'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat, and I'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place!

[keyofimagination]

. . .

Sir, you realize you're in public, right?

[seasonthree]

Oh, relax! It was a joke!

[it was not a joke]

[faciliheir]

Well, he lost my vote.

[keyofimagination]

I want to remind you two that you should resort to it only if he actually tries to form a dictatorship. If he simply proves himself to be grossly incompetent and then resigns there will be no need for it.

[itsthecount]

I will let my opinions be known!

[keyofimagination]

Then what do you really think we should do to former mayors, then?

[greatwidesomewhere]

Absolutely.

[She doesn't hesitate. In her mind, it's only the right thing to do. She's failed the city as a mayoral candidate, but she can still help.]

Thank you, Monsieur Rod, that's a very kind offer. I'll gladly help.

[hallotween]

Yeah, yeah. We still get to execute him when he does the first one, right?

[greatwidesomewhere]

I don't think it would be much improved by better timing.

[itsthecount]

Like one vote ever made a difference. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to inch myself over to city hall and vandalize it.

[notasingleword]

.....Um... well...

[Lie. Just lie Ariel. JUST LIE-]

N-No?

[Damnit.]

[ilovepuppies]

We could make a slogan out of that.

[dothebackslide]

...Well, that sounds pretty similar to a kind of tyranny, which is discouraged in... most countries.

So that sOUNDS LIKE A BIG FUN TIME FOR EVERYONE!

[faciliheir]

...

[okay chill it's fine it won't be that bad it's fine]

Please tell me it wasn't for the shrimp man.

[greatwidesomewhere]

[Belle's mouth presses into a thin line, and she steels herself as she turns to face Daria.]

I'm sorry, Daria, I...I ought to have tried harder. Done more to succeed.

[She folds her hands in front of her, earnestly.]

It's not much, but I am going to join the City Council. If we have to be governed by this...Sheldon person, I can at least try to make positive change from beneath him.

ALL JOKES NEED TIMING TO REALLY LAND THE
