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!]

[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.

[marryapanther]

The place you chose to sleep at night has no correlation to this.

Yes, but I did tell you that anyone with common sense would never elect you, knowing the type of fool that you are. Once you showed everyone your true colors and acted like an idiot, you lost everything you hoped for. As I knew would happen.

[That's a little bit bullshit- Bagheera never thought Sheldon would get this far in the first place- but that just means seeing him fall on his face and fail is even sweeter.]

There is no winning here, for you. Only losing. Like the mayoral seat you just lost.

[andbegone]

Doesn't it, though?

Look, I won it in the first place and that's what really matters. I'm counting it as a win. End of story, checkmate, the trophy's already on my shelf and you can't take it down.

[marryapanther]

You won it, but you couldn't keep it. That's not a win, that's a temporary mistake the universe has reset back in our favor.

[andbegone]

Or maybe the universe was temporarily in our favor and now it's reset back to its horrible, miserable default state.

[marryapanther]

I won't debate the qualities of the universe with the likes of you, but I feel as though you have terribly, terribly misunderstood your own importance in the universe and exactly how dreadful your attempt to hold power truly was.

[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.

[ilovepuppies]

[Alrighty time to turn up the sparkle on the big ol' eyes.]

Aww, come on, just one little selfie?

[andbegone]

$850.

[ilovepuppies]

[How big can she make her eyes? VERY BIG.]

[andbegone]

What are you hoping to accomplish here?

[ilovepuppies]

I just want a picture with the mayor!

[Her eyes are so huge they have their own zip code by now.]

[andbegone]

[.....]

You know what, fine. $5.

[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.

[greatwidesomewhere]

This coming from someone who was just impeached.

[andbegone]

Look, if I'd had a few more years to build up unwavering loyalty and support I could've gotten away with everything without anybody batting an eye. I admit I may have jumped the gun just a bit.

[greatwidesomewhere]

Well, you can certainly count on that never happening now. You almost destroyed everything!

[andbegone]

Keyword being 'almost'. It's not like anybody died or anything.

[greatwidesomewhere]

And if someone had?

[She crosses her arms.]

I have a hard time believing you'd be concerned.

[andbegone]

Well, it's not like it would've been my fault. I couldn't control those gremlins.

[standingonmyneck]

That depends. Are you a mayor?

[hahaha]
