EVENT END: The New Mayor

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.

faciliheir: (triple the wager)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-05-07 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Her? After all she--

What, so voting for her is better than voting for my friend?

But I don't know Evie. We've spoken once.
faciliheir: (no breaks)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-05-07 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
I know her! Isn't that enough? Besides, how well do you know Belle? She's not even the one from the games!
notasingleword: (Guilty)

[personal profile] notasingleword 2018-05-07 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
I guess... ah...

[Her lip begins to tremble, and her eyes drift to the floor.]

I'm sorry...
faciliheir: (watch me drop the hurt)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-05-07 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
... I gotta go start my shift.

[she hasn't worked in five days.]

I'll... see you at home.
notasingleword: (Sigh)

[personal profile] notasingleword 2018-05-07 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I...

[She doesn't look up, playing nervously with her hair instead.]

Okay... I'll see you later.
faciliheir: (now you act like you got some class)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-05-07 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[she pauses, as if considering staying... but, leaves shortly after anyway.]
notasingleword: (Whimper)

[Ariel lets out a small sniffle as Freddie walks away. She does her best to pull herself together before leaving herself. She has to go to work too.]
