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.

Surely you can think of some law that could better the city as a whole.

[andbegone]

[bold of you to assume he ever thinks of anything other than his own success]

“Bettering the city” is highly subjective, former mayor.

[keyofimagination]

Just name one law you want to pass beyond "shutting down the Dole Whip stand" and "cancelling an entire season".

[andbegone]

I don't know. What does this place not have? A band? A college? Let's make those.

[keyofimagination]

... Oh my Walt, you don't even know what's in this town.

[andbegone]

Look, I've been busy working that stupid day job you stuck me with. I didn't exactly have time to take guided tours.

...By the way, does this mean I get to quit my last job?

[keyofimagination]

You could have asked us if you wanted another job.

But yes, your only job will be the mayor until you either leave or until we get a new mayor.

[andbegone]

And admit defeat? What kind of person do you take me for?

But yes, great. Excellent. Second question-- I get to move into the castle, correct?

[keyofimagination]

... There is a chance that it won't be voluntary leave, depending on how you do- wait what?

The castle is my home, Sheldon.

[andbegone]

It's the biggest home there is. The mayor should live there. That's how politics works.

[keyofimagination]

First of all, that is not how politics work.

Second of all, I still control the dimension, so I'm still technically you're superior.

[andbegone]

Fine, fine. We can split the castle.

[keyofimagination]

...

The castle only has a singular living space.

[andbegone]

Then I guess that's what we're splitting. Unless you'd endorse building a second castle.

[keyofimagination]

Isn't having your own office in the Town Hall enough...?

[andbegone]

Can I sleep in the office in Town Hall?

[keyofimagination]

... I mean, I'm not going to stop you?

[andbegone]

...Acceptable.

[listen their apartment is still covered in scorch marks he needs options]
