[ HEY! It's a Hundred for Mayor rally. There's an intern behind the camera, and Mitch is at the podium. It spans over the crowd, which isn't too shabby, and there are posters reading things like "Give 100% for HUNDRED" or "HUNDRED for MAYOR 2010" It finally moves to rest on Mitch, who's looking very somber, but pumped. Maybe it's the high of remembering what day it is back home, but he's practically energetic. ]
Good afternoon, City! [ Cue politician waving here! ]
I know some of you have heard of me, or else you wouldn't be showing up here to give me support. Unless some of you are here to try to shout me down. Is anybody doing that? [ He pauses. ] No? Good!
As I'm sure all of you know, I'm Mitchell Hundred, one of your candidates for mayor. I wanted to speak with you all today about the choice you'll be making, and what you would expect from me as a potential mayor. I can spout my former record all I want, but I want to make promises to you, the voter.
I promise to every single one of you that I'm going to do everything I can to improve the city. I'm going to roll with the punches, and keep my fingers pressed to the pulse of the city. I promise to you all that everything I do, I want your input. I promise to hold places for all of you, import or natural to have discussions with me. I promise that I'll follow the law, and that I'll promote the right people for the right positions. I promise that together, we'll make this city stronger and better than it has been in a long time. We're going to make sure that there's a strong presence of disaster recovery in this city, and I promise the right people will be in charge of it. We're going to make sure we can roll with the punches, and that we can show the world that we all can work together. [ Through this, he's getting a bit more hyped up, and excited. ]
I want to help you, City. I want to make this city the best it can be, and I want you all to be a part of that! I promise to everyone here, and everyone who stayed home today, and everyone who's busy working to put food on the table that I'm going to make sure to work with you and for you! I'm going to stay vigilant for any threats to your livelihoods. I'm going to do everything within my power to keep us, and the city, [ he pauses ] and the imports safe.
We're going to work together, everyone! Thank you for coming out, and thank you for making this possible. Encourage your family and friends to vote, and let's make a difference when election day comes.
[ There's cheering, and all the usual hubaloo, and after a few minutes, our wonderful intern, let's call her... Theresa, brings the camera back to Mitch, and he picks it up with a smile. ]
Fuck, that felt good. That applies to you too, network. Talk to me.
