In Response To Recent Events

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Dear Citizens of Paixao,

The sudden loss of my rival and adversary, 'The Mayor', has been just as shocking to me as I'm sure it was to all of you. I too wanna hear some answers, hear more details about this horrendous crime and know just who is responsible. However, I doubt we'll be hearing anything soon from the officials due to lack of information shared in the past about certain events. None the less, anyone who does know something about it, I trust... Well, I hope you do what's best with the information.

On the note of the mayors seat now being free, I boldly accept the big comfy chair and take on the role of becoming your leader, C.E.O, and 'ol Mayor myself. As your leader person, it's in my best interest to look out for the well bein' of citizens n' guests of the city, doing all in my power to keep 'em safe from harm and keep 'em as informed as I have over the several past months.

-that reminds me, any gifts you wish to present to me for all my hard work will be accepted. You know, gold, pearls, diamonds, expensive jewellery... That kinds stuff.

Sincerely,

The Future Mayor of Paixao

I am afraid, good, ah, sir, that the position is open only to citizens of Paixao, should we have an election. At this point in time, a temporary Mayor has assumed duty until we can make a decision on an election. As such, it is no open.

You are welcome to apply for citizenship to the city, if you are certain you wish to pursue this path.

I must note, as well, that further attempts to impersonate the Mayor will not be met kindly. It is a serious offense.

Temporary Mayor? Who are they n' what are they doin' in my seat? Are they a citizen too? Where do I apply for citizenship? I ain't heard anybody ever bring that up before.

Hmpf, impersonatin'... Call practicing for when I'm the one callin' the shots. I'll change it though if you're gunna make a big deal outta it.

[paixaomayor.livejournal.com]

Sir, I am afraid that it wasn't your seat to begin with. Yes, our temporary Mayor is a citizen of Paixao, as are all other officials in the city. If you are interested in actually applying for citizenship, you will want to come to City Hall to apply. However, at this point in time, the building is still closed off by the police.

Citizenship issues have never been brought up before because this is the first time that it has been required to be mentioned. We've never had a guest desire to take leadership in our city.

I wish you would remove the entire title, sir. There are no guarantees that the citizenry would even elect you in the first place, and such claims are presumptuous at best.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Hmpf. Figures you'd bring this up at a time like this when I can't apply. There ain't no other place 'round the city where I could, is there?

HA! I wouldn't be so sure 'bout that. I'd be ten times better as the mayor than that old man was. You know it too. I'd have the election in da bag.

The post is stayin'.

[myfearsmylies.livejournal.com]

Timon! Are you sure you'd wanna go applying for citizenship? I don't know if that's a real good idea or not. Maybe... Maybe you should see if someone like Godot would do it! 'cause he wants to stay in this city, and I bet he would team up with you, and he'd have more of a shot probably 'appealing to the citizens.' But I donno. This is all really not... good.


...and the investigation probably will take too long.

[Locked to Timon]

Maybe someone could sneak in past it all and see what's up? I bet they won't tell us anything...

I probably shouldn't be thinking like this.

[/Locked]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Godot? That weirdo who's always talkin' 'bout coffee? ... Hm, maybe. I'll ask 'em what he thinks. I don't see how he'd be more 'appearlin' to the citizens' though. You wanna extend on that bit for me?

[Locked to Kairi]

I know they won't tell us anything. But who'd go in there? And what's all this 'bout doubtin' me, hu? How is this a bad idea?

Nahh. I like it.

[/locked]

[myfearsmylies.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that guy... It's, well, I mean, you're appealing to all of us Timon, but honestly to these citizens? I donno if... ahh... they'll feel the same as us about a meerkat being their mayor, no offense.


[Locked to Timon]

It's just all weird, that's all. I don't doubt you, Timon. And it may not be the safest of things. 'cause we don't know if he really died! He may of been killed! You could get killed... well... I suppose any of us that tried for the position could get killed...

I guess I don't know anyone that would/could go in there. Isn't someone around he like... a police force sort? Rebecca! Maybe they'd let her on the scene.

It's just not really me. Oh well. I blame the city~

If the voting's only open to citizens, how are we supposed to vote for ya?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Maybe we can make an exception and take guest votes too?

[open-zipper.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's an idea!

...If they let us...

[humaniste.livejournal.com]

I FAIL TO SEE WHY YOU SHOULD ASK FOR SUCH THINGS, AS THEY ARE AVAILABLE ON THE LOCAL FOLIAGE.

[SCREENED TO TIMON]

BE CAREFUL. I DO NOT BELIEVE I NEED TO TELL YOU YOU'VE ASSUMED A DANGEROUS POSITION.

SHOULD YOU NEED ANYTHING (ASIDE FROM JEWELS), DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK.

[/SCREEN]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

They're gifts, I'm not asking for 'em. And I accept 'em 'cause they came from someone who cared enough to give me one. Doesn't matter if I could just get it myself... Unless it was something dumb like a rock or somethin'.

[screened to Death]

And I don't believe I have ta tell you you're not the only one who's told me that... Thanks though. After everything that's happened, I can't back out now as much as I'd like to. People are countin' on me.

[/screened]

[humaniste.livejournal.com]

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEBODY WOULD GIVE A ROCK AS A GIFT.

[SCREENED TO TIMON]

I UNDERSTAND, AND I REPEAT: SHOULD YOU NEED ANYTHING, ASK.

[kauaihula.livejournal.com]

Don't people usually have to get elected to office? I don't remember there being any elections...

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Not where I'm from. Here, yes. I'm just a sure winner, so I'm just gettin' the hang of bein' the future mayor.

[kauaihula.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't put the cart before the horses...

[amcgees-alice.livejournal.com]

If you are in need of a bodyguard while pursuing this office, I would be more than willing.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Really? Thanks, Alice. I'll keep that in mind. Any past experience you got?

[amcgees-alice.livejournal.com]

Not a problem.

That would depend very much on how easily you have nightmares, I'm afraid.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Your point being?

[mustcatchme1st.livejournal.com]

Woah, woah~. I dunno, man. Er. Little guy. Isn't that bribery or extortion or something? I mean, I'm not sure I'd want a leader representing me who's swayed by shiny things. Not that...shiny things aren't cool.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Not when they're gifts I didn't ask for. Besides, I'm not going to turn down something they got me. That'd be worse than bribery and extortion combine.

[kauaihula.livejournal.com]

You did ask for them, though. "Any gifts you wish to present to me" is clear indication of that.
