Event log END: Plankton tried and failed

[keyofimagination]

[It’s over. The Dreamfinder is saved. The Plankton Gremlins are gone, and everything is back to normal.

Well, mostly.

The very next morning, everyone who participated in the festival/saving the festival will once again wake up with a brand new card and an invitation for an emergency meeting.

Once again Rod is there, and once again he looks tired but he stands up straight once a crowd gathers.]

Good morning everyone, due to recent events Red and I had an emergency meeting on the state of affairs. I know this may be rash, and it might not be a popular opinion since he’s only been mayor for a month. However, between kidnapping someone that i consider a friend and important asset to the town and letting loose gremlins on Epcot, we have no choice but to impeach Plankton, effective immediately. I am aware that this is usually the kind of decision one needs to vote for, but after all Plankton’s done after a month, along as never attending a single actual meeting, as the creator of this realm I believe I am perfectly justified in my decision.

We plan on holding another election in the near future, as I don’t want to keep status quo just because of one bad mayor. However, for the time being I will resume the role as the mayor, and I will happily listen to any remarks or criticisms anyone has about this scenario or about how we should run this place.

[OOC: Event end! As mentioned we will intend on holding another election in the future, but it will be a smaller event than the first election and it probably won't be the only monthly event in that case. If we left you out of the list or if you got a double please let us know and we’ll fix it right away!]

[She couldn't believe this. After all that happened in this damn place already, she was standing here in complete and total AWE that there was such a thing as status quo.

Just kidding. If she learn anything from...anything ever in her life, things just kind of turn into a normal amount of crazy eventually. Then it's just surviving the normal nonsense. But over here, it was special nonsense. A certain brand that Koriko didn't have. All she could do was just sigh and look wearily in the crowd. She was tired, but probably relieved in her own way.]

I guess a major election after a span of a couple of weeks wasn't such a hot idea. Whodathunk.

[marryapanther]

Yes, and with an electing group of mostly-strangers who have barely had the chance to get acquainted? How on earth did that go poorly?

[standingonmyneck]

[A biiiiiig totally serious shrug.]

It went about as well as, say, allowing people with no political experience to just submit any fake name you want to have on a piece of paper and start running for office.

[Ahem.]

[kindaruledatit]

[geeentle elbow nudge]

Who woulda thought? But hey, looks like there's going to be a second chance for all of us soon.

[standingonmyneck]

[Ha.]

Just another day in the Happiest Place on Earth, with a dash of failed dictatorship.

[marryapanther]

[... The biggest, shit-eating grin appears on Bagheera's face. He doesn't say anything yet, because he doesn't want to interrupt Rod mid-speech, but he is almost vibrating with delight. Once Rod's done speaking, though, he starts looking around excitedly.] I told him- I told him he'd be a terrible ruler, and he thought he could prove me wrong? Oh, does he know yet? Can I tell him myself? I want to see the look on his face when he realizes he's lost everything he hoped for in barely a few weeks.

[standingonmyneck]

[Someone was within earshot.]

Telling him to his face does seem like the most effective way to have the news travel.

[tacticalespionageaction]

Mind if I tag along?

[He wouldn't miss it for the world.]

[greatwidesomewhere]

I think all of us would like to see that, truth be told. Even if it isn't the kindest thought...

[kindaruledatit]

So wait, that Plankton guy was behind all this?

[She can't be too surprised about it, or the fact that Rod is going to impeach the guy. Honestly, after fighting through waves of those annoying little spuds, this was the sort of news she loved to hear.

Wendy has to pause to flick a bit of gremlin... stuff off the sleeve of her shirt, but she's grinning all the same.]

Cool. Definitely an ending to all this I can live with.

[andbegone]

[guess who was literally hiding out in a trash can once the gremlins started swarming the place? he's just like. casually picking a wrapper off of his shoulder.]

Well, I thought it all went well. I mean, are you really mayor if you don't go mad with power and nearly destroy the whole town at least once?

[marryapanther]

[Bagheera's humming to himself as he pads over to Plankton, his teeth gleaming as he grins.] Nope! And in fact, you are no longer the mayor at all. You are done. Finished. You have lost every bit of power here you have forcibly taken hold of, the world is back in order, and I am proven right. [He's. REALLY having a good time.]

[andbegone]

[Plankton absolutely seethes as Bagheera heads over, but manages to wipe most of it from his face by the time he actually turns around to face him.]

Yeah, well, the joke's on all of you because I already got to sleep in the mayor's office. Several times, in fact.

[SO WHO'S THE REAL WINNER HERE]

Besides, you weren't proven right at all. I still got elected, didn't I? Admit it, a month is longer than you were expecting which means I still win.

[ilovepuppies]

Oh, there you are! I wanted to get my picture taken with the mayor!

[Sweet, innocent smile.]

[andbegone]

Little late on that one, kid. There's a $900 late fee for any pictures taken after the impeachment was announced, which means right now. Fork it over and I'm sure we can work something out.

[greatwidesomewhere]

I think that's quite the opposite of what a good leader ought to do!

[She's angry but also Very Smug!!!]

[andbegone]

And I think you must not know much about the government if you actually believe that's true.

[standingonmyneck]

That depends. Are you a mayor?

[hahaha]

[hallotween]

[raises hand]

[keyofimagination]

Yes Marnie?

[hallotween]

Can we execute him?

[mister_mystery]

Wait, what? He got to be mayor? [WHEN WAS THIS...WHAT DID HE MISS.....] Yeesh. I guess I know what not to do if I consider running for Mayor.

[ilovepuppies]

[OH MAN NEW CARDS. Star's not gonna pass up and opportunity to get some new magic. This almost makes all the aggravation worth it!

She doesn't even stop to see what card she got before she swipes it with her magic band, eager to try out her new spell. She's grinning from ear to ear until she turns into a ghost.

Amazingly, she doesn't scream. Instead, she lets out an increasingly distressed series of whimpers as she scrambles to swipe the card again and dispel the effects. Once she's solid again, Star's knees give out and she stumbles and falls over.

She thrusts the card at the first person she sees.]

Here- take it!! I don't want it!!

[greatwidesomewhere]

Star...?

[Oh, that's...Alarming. Belle rushes forward, hands held out as if there's anything she can really do about it.]

What was that, what happened?

[midnightcowboy]

[Jed has no goddamn clue what's going on and also doesn't care even slightly about government of any kind but you know what he does care about? Cards. Mostly just the new one because 'cowboy lasso' sounds right up his alley.]

Aw, hell yeah! 'Bout time you gave me somethin' useful, Mister Monochrome!

[And since he's already on ground-level he's just gonna make quick work of aiming it at the ankles of. Well. Anyone in the general vicinity who's taller than him, which is to say everyone. except maybe Basil but he'll try and trip Basil too if he has to, he doesn't give a fuck]
