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.

Right. Yes. Well, I'm glad to see that the citizens rallied their support behind a true leader for once. This is what democracy was made for, people.

[but also he has no idea what mayors actually do.]

Anyways I'm gonna need a definition on this whole "moral code" thing.
kindaruledatit: (Oh wait what)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-06 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait. Seriously?

[He was only planning on doing like three of those things so it could be worse.]

Mmhmm. I see. And where does 'eliminating Dole Whip' fall in regards to those rules?
kindaruledatit: (you know...)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-06 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean... wow.

I woulda thought Jerry Mander would get more votes then.

It's too popular. How do the other snack items stand a chance at competing with it?

Where does ‘canceling the summer seasons’ fall in regards to the rules, then?

[Isn't that the guy from Tales from the Darkside? Anyway, Mike is here for some reason.]

His name is Plankton?

That's like if I named myself Michael J. Human. [Perks up.] In fact, my name from now on is Mike Human!
kindaruledatit: (This is bogus)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-05-06 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
You get a lot of ideas from other people, don't you?

[Leeeeet's out a breath, hand brushing back hair. This is cool.]

Alright, so. Guess the city won't immediately burn down.
