WHY CAN'T I GET A HOLD OF OUR GODDAMN MAYOR.

This is just ludicrous. I've gone to her office and waited more times now than I can count, and every time, she's a no-show

*blink* Election?

...you are still feeling the effects of the nightmare, milady?

[nani_wo_yomu]

Yeah, when we choose who the mayor is. They...do that here, don't they? *starting to feel dread*

And I told you, call me Nenene. ...Eh, I think I'm finally getting over it. I'm just pissed about the whole thing.

[frumpyface]

I can't say for certain. I've only been here a few months and that's the first I've heard the word.

Ha, my apologies mila-... Nenene. I believe I can understand - some of us had more jarring nightmares than others.

[nani_wo_yomu]

...

I'd ask you about your nightmare, but I don't want you to relive anything you don't want to. I know I don't.

I'm afraid elections are a priveledge reserved for free societies.

[nani_wo_yomu]

*is trying to make it look like she's giving him a funny look because of what he said, and not because she is looking at a television screen* ...Huh.

*whatever, turns away and sighs* I guess I should've expected it. Things don't work normally here, in any sense of the word, do they. -_-

[1_electronic]

People are still people. That aside, not a bit.

[nani_wo_yomu]

Mm. *looks back at him, sizing him up*

...So, who're you? Another of the memory-robbed?

[future_defender]

*hacked, but won't say anything about it for now*

I hate to say it, but there are no elections here. Our mayor is mayor for life.

It is weird, though. I've been here almost a year, and I haven't even seen the mayor once.

[nani_wo_yomu]

You're kidding... What in the world is she doing?

[future_defender]

I wish I knew. Then I might know something more about our situation here.

Though I have seen some of her handiwork. I believe she's the one who posts bulletins about certain events, like the tournament way back in January.

[nani_wo_yomu]

Hnn...

A tournament?

[alluring_rogue]

Aww, that's so niiice~ Already remembering someone you care about from back home! You're actually kinda lucky.

On a side note, don't bother with the mayor. I've been on her ass not literally, damn it for months and have only gotten a few things about her.

[nani_wo_yomu]

*about her memories* I suppose so.

*perks up immediately* You found out some things about her? What?

[alluring_rogue]

Eeeh, well, it was part of a job, so I can't really say too much unless you want to pay me for the info.

I will say she's been here for a long, long time.

[nani_wo_yomu]

...

*frustrated disbelief, a question but not* You're selling me information.

[bamf_with_wings]

No luck with the mayor, huh? That's too bad.

And I told you the library suited you.

[nani_wo_yomu]

If it weren't for the library at this point I think I'd be going bat-shit crazy because of this place.

No election? No one's seen the mayor in at least a year? What the hell.

[bamf_with_wings]

It is odd that the mayor is so elusive, though there's a chance she doesn't know any more than we do.

As for this "election," I can't say I understand what's got you so riled up.

[nani_wo_yomu]

...

How did you become King, Tibarn?
