Paixao --

Now that the snowfall has stopped, I would request that all citizens pitch in with the cleanup, specifically around the train tracks so that transportation may run more efficiently again. I have been reminded that many Outsiders have filed for citizenship with the City of Paixao - I request that those who have also assist in the efforts. I, myself, will be out working to clear the snow in hopes of returning to business as usual for our city.

Additional help of unregistered Outsiders is, of course, welcomed.

Thank you,

Mayor Marcus Praetoris

((ooc: Yeah some of you may remember this little thing... It is still possible to gain citizenship. Not that you probably want to now. Notifs are wonky so tags may be slow, if at all. he's good at ignoring particular people (Timon)))

I don't think anyone's going to help if you're gonna keep treating us like criminals when we haven't done anything.

[paixaomayor.livejournal.com]

It is in your own benefit to assist. The more help, the quicker things are cleaned, the easier it is to move around the city, the more comfortable Paixao is.

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just so you can make up some other stupid rules for us.

[paixaomayor.livejournal.com]

Think what you will. I will not be able to change your mind.

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Maybe if you stopped treating us differently from everyone else we'd be more willing to help you.

Errrr... and where exactly is this snow gonna go?

[paixaomayor.livejournal.com]

It will melt in time, but if we can at least get the train tracks cleared, piling the snow alongside them, then there will be easier accessibility throughout the city again. It is by no means ideal, however... our options are limited.

[divine_storm]

Couldn't we just shove the snow outside? It's not like we're gonna miss it.

[paixaomayor.livejournal.com]

By all means, if you're willing to do so, then it would be very helpful indeed. However, I feel I am already asking much with clearing off the tracks... To request to "shove" all the city's snow outside is quite a lot more time and effort involved, when you think about the more central areas of the city, the benefits aside.

But perhaps if we can gather enough willing people, that task would go along more smoothly.

Oh, good, I love to help! Good helper, that's me.

And I've been wanting to have a bit of a word with you.

[fakereputations.livejournal.com]

Whoa whoa.

And you are...?

[paixaomayor.livejournal.com]

The mayor of the city, Marcus Praetoris.

[fakereputations.livejournal.com]

So you're basically in charge, is what you're saying?

[paixaomayor.livejournal.com]

Basically.

And before you ask: no, I don't know how to get you home.

[fakereputations.livejournal.com]

Now, did I SAY I was going to ask you that? Come on, have a little faith.

I actually want to know who YOU work for. You know, who elected you or put you in power. I'm, you know, just trying to better understand how things work around here.

[paixaomayor.livejournal.com]

The people of Paixao elected me into office four months ago. I work for the city itself, to keep my people safe.

[fakereputations.livejournal.com]

Yeah, okay, fair enough, but don't you have a higher authority to answer to?

[paixaomayor.livejournal.com]

No.

[carrysabigstick.livejournal.com]

Bro, you couldn't pay me enough to get out in the cold to shovel. No way, no how. Not a snowball's chance in hell, dude. Even heroes gotta draw the line somewhere, and cold is IT.

[paixaomayor.livejournal.com]

So be it.

[napoleonicrat]

Well, a Mayor. How...quaint.

Hey, why are you pushing your dirty work to us? It's your city! Do it yourself, you lazyass!

It's not like I'm here because I want to anyway!

[paixaomayor.livejournal.com]

Some of you have claimed this city as your own as well. They can assist in the work, in this case. I am not expecting the help of the others, but it is welcomed.
